The attack on Charleston has brought up again the old question between forts And ironclads, and its result has modified the popular opinion that we should rest our defences almost exclssively on ships of war. The value of fortifications rightly applied has been proved beyond contradiction, and many advocates of vessels against forts have changed their opinion owirg to the defeat of the Federals off Fort Sumter. It is well, however, to adopt the medium course in this, as in most other things, and there is no doubt that a due combina tion of forts and ironclads afford the best security for the defence of the country. Ws have always upheld the necessity of erecting forts at Ports• mouth and elsewhere, which would possess a strength never to be acquired by a vessel who has to contend against a shifting foundation, and the counter influences of winds and waves. Much ex pense and trouble might, however, he saved, if the Government were to follow the plan tried with suc cess in the new railway bridge at Hungerford, and substitute iron foundations for stone ones. The various methods of constructing fortifications will probably excite as much discussion as the different modes of building iron ships, now that the public attention has been once more turned that way. On Thursday evening the Earl of HARDWICKE put a question to the First Lord of the Admiralty respect ing the works at Spithead. He complained that they had been left unfinished in consequence of the general doubt as to the efficacy of fortifications, after the Government had expended on them nearly £lOO,OOO. Lord HARDWICKE himself was in favour of their continuation, and cited many instances in which forts had carried the day against their aseaulters. Among them he mentioned the cases of the Pompey, commanded by no less a personage than Sir SIDNEY SMITH, which had been beaten off by a single marten° tower—of the memorable attack on Copenhagen and of the experience of Algiers. The noble lord also expressed his anxiety that the summer should not be suffered to pass by with out profit, as if the golden months of opportunity were allowed to slip past unheeded it would occasion great expense next year to put the works in their present condition. The Duke of SOMEIc SET, in answer, denied that the expense had been so great as the noble Earl supposed. He expressed himself as fully satisfied with the situa tion selected, and with the general result of th e works. By a singular coincidence the distance be tween our forts at Spithead and the neighbouring sandbank, is precisely the same as the distance be tween Forts Sumter and Moultrie. The resem• blance is still farther carried out by the strength of the current and the facilities which exist f or vessels approaching within a certain distance, and we have little doubt that the results of an attack upon the English ports would be found as unsatisfactory to the invader as the famous assault on Charleston. The Duke of SOMERSET was not equally satisfied with the expe rience of iron-clad ships. Re r em i n d e d the i r Lordships that when the American Government built their first " Monitor" they gave it its name 1 as a warning to the British Admiralty, "and a warning," added the noble duke, "it cer tainly proved, for the first gale that it w as caught in it went to the bottom." Recent experiments have been more satisfactory, but as the Duke of SOMERSET observed, there are seve ral points which we must learn before we can rest satisfied with the construction of ironclads. Mean while the building of the forts should be proceeded with without delay, and the erection of two fort s at Portsmouth is necessary to render the work of protection efficacious and complete. The report of the Committee that was appointed by the Prussian Chamber of Deputies to consider the cartel convention between Russia and Prussia will not be very satisfactory to Herr von BISMARK. They have unanimously declared the convention to be invalid, and proposed that the Government be reltiested to abstain from carrying it into op eration t il the consent of the Chambers has been obtained. It i s moat satlafaetory that such a decision should have been arrived at, and it surely must have some effect upon the course adopted by the Government. The whole tone of this report is highly creditable to the members of the committee, and proves that they are worthy of representing the spirit of the Prussian people. Herr von BISMARK will be greatly mortified it this contradiction in terms to his wishes and subversion of his plans, so far as the committee are concerned. The length of the correspondence that has recently been published proves how many events have been crowded into a short space. So many as one hundred and seventy despatches and enclosures are contained in the first instalment of communications. The conversation between M. DRODYN DE LEWES and Lord COWLEY is very sig nificant, and the former gentleman displayed great sagacity in his remarks. He said that one thing was remarkable, and that was, that on the day on which the ukase of amnesty had been signed, there had been another at St. Petersburg which put a sequester on the property of those who joined the insurrection. As to the institutions which they promised in that document to maintain, he would mention that it was under these that the conscrip- tion:had been carried out that acts of violence which had occasioned the outbreak. There is great fore sight and sagacity in these remarks, which aptly illustrate the state of the case, and prove that the French Minister for Foreign Affairs is well aware of the double entendre of such affairs, and is not likely to be easily entrapped into concurrence with a scheme that speaks well without performing much. Lord RUSSELL'S reply to Lord NAPIER on the subject of the amnesty is a very good one, and is through out expressive of his lordship's doubts as to the validity or success of the arrangement. He truly states that an amnesty may be the foundation of a peace in two cases, either when the insurgents have been defeated or when it promises to redress the grievances that gave rise to the insurrection. In this instance, however, said his lordship, neither of these ends is answered. In the first place the revolt has not been put down by any mesas, and in the second place the terms of this amnesty hold out no hopes that will give satis faction to the Poles. The chief point that is mentioned in the carrying out of the plan is the maintenance of the institutions. Now Lord RUSSELL aptly observes—" With those insti tutions in full force and vigour innocent men might be imprisoned as criminals, or condemned to serve as soldiers, or banished to distant countries, without a trial, without publicity, without any guarantee whatever. As to the promise held out for the future, it must be observed that it is made to depend on the practical working of these institutions, and on the wants of the time and of the country. The first of these conditions destroys all reasonable hope of the fulfilment of this promise." So that as his lordship concludes by saying " there are wanting in this Imperial manifesto the first elements of success, namely, a guarantee of security on the one side, and the feeling of trust and confidence on the other." Lord RUSSELL, in the last passage, quotes a saying of Lord DURHAM'S when ambassador at St. Petersburg, " There 'has long been a jealousy, nay hatred, existing between the Russians and Poles." Her MAJESTY'S Govern ment had hoped that the present EMPEROR had ameliorated the state of things in general, so that such bitter feelings might have, in a great measure, have subsided. Bat ,says Lord RUSSELL, they now see with pain that thirty years have not abated or diminished the sentiments before exist ing, and the present amnesty is not likely either to moderate the insurrection or to give any security to moderate patriots. M. BISMARR'S own interpretation of the Cartel Convention of 1857 proves its extreme harshness and the comprehen sive nature of its requirements. It has been so arranged that all Russian subjects who cross into Prussia during the revolt may ultimately be sent back into Russia—the unsuspected at the instance f Prussia, and the suspected at the demand of Russia. Sorely this is a state of things that should not be tolerated in a country that claims to be con sidered as a constitutional Government, and too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of its suppression by the members of the Chamber of Deputies. The honour of their country demands it at their hands, and it is to be hoped that even should the war unhappily rage for some time lon ger, that Polish refugees will not be subject to the cruel treatment that is prepared for them according to this extraordinary and arbitrary convention. The whole tone and nature of its proceedings are worthy of emanating from a kingdom steeped in intolerance, and overridden by despotism, and in flict a lasting stigma and perpetual disgrace on the rulers of a country that claims to rank among the civilised States of Europe. The Thirteenth Report of the Commissioners on the Fine Arts, appointed to decide upon the decorations of the Palace at Westminster' has just been brought before the public. It tells us that the labours of the commission are drawing to a close. The whole scheme of decora tion has been finally decided on after careful con sideration, and as it only remains for the artists to carry out the; designs they have undertaken, the commissioners consider that they may with safety and propriety resign their responsible office. It does not appear, however, that they are sanguine as to a speedy termination of the work in hand. In fact in two cases they pointedly express their hope that the artists will be a little more expe ditious in the fulfilment of their undertaking. The industry of Mr. MACLISE calls forth a special encomium, and so satisfied are they with the achievements of his skilful pencil, that they recommend that his labours should extend to other portions of the Royal Gallery. Bearing in mind the extent of the work, which can scarcely be satin factorily completed in one generation, the commis sioners recommend that the works, so far as is pos sible, should be conducted in a symmetrical manner, that is to say, that the principal rooms and adjoining p ar ts should be first completed, i n or d er to secure, if practicable, their exec ution by the ori g i na l art i sts. With a view to this end,they recommend that the two large compartments facing each other in the Royal Gallery should be first brought to a conclusion, and thanks to the industry of Mr. MACLISE, the prospect of a speedy termination is not hopeless. With regard to the royal statues to be placed in the gallery and its vicinity the commission recommend that those intended for the Robing Room should be completed immediately after those in the Royal Gallery and its immediate precincts are finished. The financial statement is satisfactory the sum required gradually diminish- Lig. Less gratifying is the failure of all efforts to ascertain the cause of the rapid decay of the fres coes. The committee appointed to consider Lhe sub ject have proved unable to detect the evil, and until this difficulty is grappled with the artistic prospects of our Palace at Westminster are anything but reas suring. We trust, however, that all obstacles may be smoothed away by judgment and discretion, and that the artistic embellishment of the seat of the Imperial Legislature may be worthy alike of the dignity of the building and of the genius of the nation.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 2. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ripon, Captain Christian, with the heavy por tion of the above mails, arrived at 12 o'clock mid night. She brings 144 passengers, five packages specie (value £640 10s. 6d.), and a general cargo, including 1,226 bales raw silk, value £120,000 sterling. The Ripon left Gibraltar on the 26th. Across the Bay of Biscay and up the Channel she encoun tered strong N.E. gales and heavy head-sea. On the 22d the Ripon signalled the steamer Delta, bound for Malta, and Alexandria. On the 29th, at 10 a.m., in lat. 44 20 N., long. 8 42 W., passed a large steamer south and westward, supposed to be the steam ship Carnatic, with the outward mails of the 27th ;on the Ist inst, at 4 deg. 40 min. p.m. passed and exchanged colours with the Belgravia, 14 miles S.W. of Portland, bound up channel, apparently crippled on the main topmast. The French frigate Perdrix, the Italian frigate Vittore Emmannele, and the usual Egyptian fleet. were at Alexandria; at Malta were her Majesty's ships St. George, Shannon, Marlborough, Coxines, and Magicienne ; and at Gibraltar the Virago, Tri dent, Procris, and Edgar., The steam ship Poonah, with the outward mails of the 20th arrived at Gibraltar en the 25th, at 5 p.m., and left the same evening for Malta and Alexander. The British schooner Roe, from Leith, with coals for Rosas, lost maintopmast and sails in a heavy squall off Cape de Gatt. On the morning of the 20th the Spanish steamer Cervantes picked her up in a dismasted state on the coast of Marbella, and took her safely into Malaga the same day. The latest accounts received from Dar-el-Baida report a cessation of the hostilities that have so long been waged amongst the tribes in the vici nity. After some negotiation an arrangement was come to, and it was expected that the Medioona tribe would decamp from the neighbourhood of Dar-el-Baida. The reconciliation of the belligerents was a source of great rejoicing to the inhabitants of the town, and corn and water, of which there had been great scarcity, were again brought in in abun• dance. The arrival out at Gibraltar of British ships since last advices, included the steamer Cairo, six days from Liverpool; steamer Britannia, seven days from London ; barque Princess Royal, 26 days from Glas gow ; brig John Wesley, 24 days from Shields; steamer Cella, eight days from Cardiff; steamer Don Pedro, 10 days from Glasgow ; steam tug Cesar, 13 days from London; steamer Morocco, 41- days from Liverpool ; brigantine White Star, 25 days from Newcastle; schooner Sea Nymph, 20 days from Liverpool; brig Mina, 21 days from Newcastle; and steamer Orontes, six days from Liverpool.

The members of the Moderate Liberal party of the Chamber of Deputies discussed in a private sitting yesterday the proposition of the party of progress to send an address to the King upon the foreign policy of the Government. The members rejected this proposition on the ground that a debate thereon might lead to a conflict between the Chambers and the Government. No address will, therefore, be forwarded by the Chamber to the King for the present. POLAND. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CRACOW, APRIL 28. The lung-sought aid of the peasants has at length been gained by the Polish insurgents. Commenc ing with the district of Kalisz, the flame has spread among the peasant class with such rapidity, that very few of the 150 insurgent bands which are now scouring the Kingdom in all directions, but are composed more or less of peasants. In the Polish province of Lithuania, the peasantry have, from the beginning, taken an important part in the insurrec tion. As the masses are now rising, the want of arms is making itself seriously felt. So long as the millions who are willing to fight are unsupplied with weapons, Russia has still a chance ; but she can have none against a nation in arms. If some hundred thousand swords and rifles, with the neces sary ammunition, could be got into the country, they would be far more effectual in recovering Poland, and restoring peace to Europe, than de spatches or even foreign armies and fleets. The Russian army in Poland, which constitutes all the force that Russia can at present spare, is slowly but regularly diminishing. A loss of twenty or thirty men in a single encounter is not of much consequence ; but when such encounters take place, in nine or ten parts of an extensive country every day, the gap created by them in the army becomes formidable. The insurgents, on the other hand, being almost always on the defensive, and in a good position, and moreover almost invariably successful, lose very much less men, and their losses in this respect are easily supplied in a country where for every insurgent that falls there are ten men eager to fill his place. The conse quences of this gradual diminution of the force of Russia in Poland are already showing them selves. Pressing demands for more troops are con stantly pouring into Warsaw from the military commandants in various parts of Poland. Gen. Wittgenstein has given up the command at Konin, his troops being rendered helpless by the swarms of insurgents surrounding them ; and in Lithuania the coast is so feebly guarded that 300 insurgents not only landed with arms and ammunition from three Swedish ships at Polonga, but beat back with ease a body of troops sent to attack them. &ltogether the situation for Russia is a perilous one. With the Circassiacs keeping her troops i❑ the Cau casus fully employed in the East—her Polish army gradually disappearing under the persistent attacks of the guerillas in the West—and discontent surging up even in her Muscovite dominions—her power need no longer frighten those who only refrained from seeing justice done to Poland because they thought it impracticab!e. With sufficient arms, Poland can see jastice done to herself; and it is by ultimat y e el f t i n P e o t l i a o n n d o fmße Russia a n a s . a a a a forcer alone that this can be brought about, for the The European Russians, who i nearly 11 R nothingthe- Euroless a than European tempire.he lare a n plans, will Actuallyprefer the free government of Poland to the autocratic tyranny of Russia; and the (Mental despotism of the latter Power will be forced buck to its cradle—the steppes of Northern Asia. The insurgents are gradually gathering round Warsaw. The troops occasionally make sallies from the capital, but are always beaten, their only victory having been one over some 200 youths who left the city and had not had time to join their more experienced comrades. Those of the Poles who escaped, however, numbering about 130, nobly revenged the fall of their fellows, defeating a body of Hussars in the Kampinos woods, with a loss of 300 /tilled and wounded. A number of peasants who had joined the young men, showed great cou rage and steadiness in this fight. In the Palatinates of Lublin, Sandoniserz, and Kalisz, the insurgents are equally successful. In the former, Lelewel, in a series of brilliant manoeuvres, has completely out generaled the Russian commanders. His band con sists of not more than 500 men, yet for upwards of a fortnight he has kept 2,000 Russians at bay, every now and then giving them a severe beating. In Sandoniserz Czchoweki is constantly harrassing the troops, whose headquarters are at Kielce; and the last news from Kalisz is, that yesterday Young, with his Kosquiers, attacked a body of 1,800 Rus sians near Goplo, and drove them across into Prus sia. Will Prussia disarm these soldiers on her ter ritory, as she has the Poles ? If not, she will be committing a fresh breach of international law. FRANCE. PARIS, MAY 1.

MANCHESTER, May I.—The quiet feeling perceptible in our yarn market on Tuesday continued throughout Wednes day and yesterday. It has in a great measure disappeared to-day, and more business has been transacted. The de mand has principally been in yarns suitable to India and the Mediterranean, and more business has been done at the extreme prices asked on Tuesday. The market generally wears a more cheerful aspect than it did in the early part of•the week. With the more recent advices from America, and the explanations given by Earl Russell, the fears of an embroilment with the United States, which hung so heavily on Tuesday's market, seem to be for the moment disappear ing, and people have more courage to operate. In some quarters it is reported that there have been more offers for top yarns to-day, and prices have recovered from the ex treme depression in this class of yarns which existed on Tuesday. The market for yarns generally closes firm, with a tendency to higher prices. In cloth also a better demand appears to have sprung up. Both yesterday and to-day there has been a more active inquiry for all kinds of goods suitable for the India trade, and a considerable business has been effected, at a shade better prices than could have been obtained on Tuesday. Printing cloths are rather quiet, but for the class of these goods suitable to India there has been some inquiry. and sellers < shovi more firmness as to price. There is not much doing in cloths foi the home trade, and sellers for most markets, except those in the east, report business quiet. In the report of Tuesday's market we gave an extract from the export tables of Messrs. J. Pender and Co., showing the great increase in our exports of cloth and yarn to India during the early part of April, as com pared with the three months preceding. The figures were given correctly, but instead of saying for " the first 16 days of April," it should have been stated that the returns were for "the month ending 16th April," as compared with the three months previously. CARDIFF, April 30.—The coal trade continues moderately buoyant, and the shipments this month have been consider able. The Dare-valley colliery proprietors will shortly ship largely at this port. There is no change to report in quota tions. The iron trade remains without material alteration. A large iron work is about to be erected on the site of the old NV hitchureh coke works, and it is expected some hun dreds of hands will be employed. The Nlelin Griffith tin works have just been started after a stoppage of about two years, and employment will thus be afforded to a number of men. There are not many orders at present on the books of the ironmasters, but upon the whole things are in a fairly satisfactory state. The inquiries from the continent have not as yet come up to expectation, but as the season advances it is expected that an improvement will be experienced. " LEEDS.—The Leeds Chamber of Commerce report as fol lows of the state of trade during the month of April : "The threatening aspect of European politics, arising chiefly from insurrectionary movements in Poland, and the fear that the peace of Europe may be thereby disturbed, and still more the unsatisfactory state of the relations between this court try and the American Federal Government, have had con datable effect in causing an extreme degree of caution in mercantile operations. During the past month the woollen cloth-markets have been very quiet. This is to some extent always the case at this season of the year, the spring trade being nearly over. The principal business has been in light fancy goods, and fine plain cloths. The demand for fine plain cloths has been unusually good for the season, and it is hoped there is a prospect of a revival of this, formerly the principal branch of manufacture in this town. In the warehouses rather more business has been done, but the demand for the London and Irish markets has been very limited. The country trade has been more satisfac tory. The manufacturers in the neighbourhood are tolerably well employed, most of them preparing for the winter trade. The shipping trade has not been brisk. Since our last report the colonial and foreign wool trade has been generally very quiet. Consumption is going on at the average rate, and stocks are moderate in consumers' and dealers' hands. The sales in London com ril 30), and comprise about 85,000 menced yesterday (Ap bales. The attendance of home and foreign buyers was large. Prices generally were rather lower than last series, though the best descriptions appear to command rates equal to March. In flax a fair amount of business has been done, principally for immediate consump tion. Prices have been rather unsteady, but on the whole decidedly in favour of the buyer. The stocks in the hands of dealers are very light, but as the Baltic is now open fresh supplies may be very soon expected. Fine foreign tows have been almost entirely neglected, and difficult of sale. Home-made tows have been in better demand, par ticularly light sorts. Medium and common cedillas have been in fair request, and there has been no material altera tion in prices. Hemps have been very dull. The spinners continue in full work, but orders are scarce with most of them, and a reduction of price has had to be submitted to to effect sales. Threads continue as before. The demand for the better classes of iron has been dull, but the makers of merchants' and lower kinds of iron are mostly very busy. The machine trade continues good, but some of the makers are not so full of orders as they were during the last few months. The engineer tool trade is on the whole better, some of the makers having received consider able orders, some on Government account. The makers of locomotives and railway plant generally are well employed on contracts likely to last for some time months. The cut nail trade is brisk, both for home and export The leather trade has been very quiet during this month. Prices are without alteration, with the exception of heavy sole leather, for which somewhat lower prices have been submitted to. There is little accumulation of stock. There is no new fea ture to report in the seed trade since last month, and prices continue unaltered. For rape oil there has been a fair de mand for the season. Linseed oils are scarce, and are much wanted, and prices are well supported. Cakes have, in con sequence of the late dry weather, been in better demand. Olive oils have advanced in price, and the rates from the Continent are reported higher, with an advancing tendency, owing to the unfavourable appearance of the growing crops. Tho paper trade continues dull ; most of the makers are working short time. The supplY has been good during the month. Prices have been rather unsteady, but have rallied. Number shown (five markets) —beasts, 2,506; sheep, 15,900. There has been a fair supply of wheat, which has met a brisk demand, and prices have advanced about 2s. per quar ter. Barley, especially firer sorts, has been in fair demand for the season. Oats and beans continue as before." OTTINGuAm, May I.—There was a moderate attendance on change to-day. The demand for lace yarns, howe%er, was slow, and prices remained without any material change. For hosiery yarns the inquiry was also inactive, but holders maintained late rates. The demand for brown nets was again flat, and coarse sorts were offered at less m oney than last week. Superior qualities were no lower, and are not likely to be. Spun silk very firm ; other sorts were a shade easier The Echo Honfleurais states that a new line of steamers is expected to be established to run between Hon flew and London. One of the motives for the new line is the extensive trade carried on between that port and Eng land, and particularly in eggs. firlo ,:, ,v ' , f ton rt . 72:-',-=' #-----angar ~ 4 HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, May 1. To-day is the anniversary of the birth of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur.

Prince Louis of Hesse, attended by Lieut.-Col. Du Plat, arrived at Marlborough House in the afternoon, on a visit to the Prince of Wales, from Osborne, Isle of Wight. The Prince and Princess of Wales took a drive in an open carriage in the afternoon. Major Teesdale has succeeded Captain Grey in his duties as Equerry in Waiting to the Prince of Wales. We have reason to believe that there is no foun dation for the report which has appeared in some foreign journals, and has been copied into the English papers, of an intended visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to the Emperor of the French at Fontainebleau. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur attained his 13th year yesterday. The event was celebrated in London by the display of flags on some of the public offices, and by the ringing of bells at many of the churches. At Windsor also there vas the customary display of flags, and a royal salute was fired. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will give a grand dinner and evening party on Friday next, the Bth inst., to meet their Royal Highnesses the Prance and Princess of Wales. The Duke of Hamilton has arrived at the Hotel Bristol, Paris, to join the Duchess. Lady Emily Peel has alighted at the same hotel. Madame Jenny Lind Goldschmidt. Last evening St. James's Hall was crammed through out. For there was then and there to be performed, appropriately enough on May-day, Handel's exquisite cantata L'Allegro ed it Pen seroso"—the words, rather let us say the delicious poetry, Milton's I Phis was not the attraction of the night, however. Any more than it was the circumstance of a Concert being given there in behalf of the Putney Hospital for Incurables I Two hundred and fifty performers, band and chorus, were to be there, it is true, with Mr. Lindsay Sloper at the piano, and Mr. E. Hopkins at the grand organ ; and among the leading vocalists Madame Lernmens Shirrington, Miss Lascelles, Mr. Montem Smith and Mr. Weiss. All which was very alluring, as a matter of course, but all which was however not all. Mr. 0. Goldsmidt was to wield the baton as conductor, and—beyond all other attractions the attraction of the night—his rarely gifted and amiable wife, world- famous before their marriage as Jenny Lind, was there again to make her reappearance and sing I Her reception immediately she dice make her ap- pearance, was worthy of her fame, and worthy, let us say, of the gratitude of the English public for the delight that wonderful songstress had so often yielded them. At first, we will confess, we listened to her marvel lous voice rather anxiously and doubtingly—until at last she fairly conquered all doubt, and indicated anew her right to her old title, as the Swedish Nightingale, by literally singing as a nightingale, namely, in the bird song " Sweet Bird," in L'Allegro, with a flute obligato deli ciously played by Mr. S. Pratten. The other performers sang each of them really to admiration. But the heroine of the night, as every one could but have wished and ex pected, was Madame Lind Goldschmidt. CRYSTAL PALACE. The first grand concert of the season was given yesterday afternoon, A band and chorus number ing 2,500 performers, under the direction of Mr. Costa, took part in the execution of Mendelssohn's noble music to Racine's "Athalie," in which Mr. Phelps, the tragedian, recited the illustrative verses ; and the solo, soprano, and contralto parts were rung by Miss Parepa, Miss Martin, and Madame Sainton-Dolby. In addition to this the two grand marches composed by Meyerbeer and Aubt r for the opening of the International Exhi bition were played, and a part-song by Mendels sohn, " Oh, forest deep and gloomy," was given. The noble overture to " Athalie" admirably played itas warmly applaud e d ; and the Grand March, still 'mo're finely executed, elicited a rapturous encore. Mdlle. Parepa's voice told with the happiest effect in the solo, " The sinner's joys decay ;" the trio, with chorus, " Hearts feel that love thee ;" and the solo, " Blooming on Judah's regal stem ;" while the well-known talent of Madame Sainton-Dolby was best displayed in the soloi., "Ales that all by virtue sainted," and " itfjoice, exclaims the frantic throng." The marches of Meyerbeer and Auber were superbly executed; and the entire concert, which terminated with "God save the Queen," ap pealed to give unqualified pleasure to an audience of 13,174 persons. 2,x19 paid 7s. 6d. for admission, and 10,355 were season tickets. Mr. J. R. M'Culloch has just ready an enlarged edition of his work on Taxation. An Index to the Times for 1862, will shortly be published by Mr. W. Freeman, and, if successful, will be continued from year to year. Professor Pepper's Ghost has been bought by Mr. Fechter, and is to appear in " Hamlet" and "Macbeth." It is now throwing costermongers into fits at the Britannia Theatre, where it dogs the ruffian in the sensation play, entitled "The Widow and Orphans ; or, Faith, Hope, and Charity." It is as distinct and positive as real flesh and blood. It opens its mouth, laughs, and is pierced in vain by swords,— The Ct. itie. Mr. Robert Browning's poems have hitherto existed scattered over seven unequal volumes, but the author, we are glad to see, has undertaken to reissue the whole in three volumes foolscap octavo. The first, con taining Lyrics, Romances, Men and Women, will be pub lished by Messrs. Chapman and Hall in a few days. Messrs. Tinsley Brothers have raised an action in Chancery against Mr. Lacy, the theatrical publisher, for selling dramas derived, it is said, verbatim from the novels of " Lady Audley's Secret " and " Aurora Floyd." The case is expected to be tried on Thursday next. The Examiner on Standing Orders has decided that the bill for the union of the C ity police force with the Metropolitan must be introduced as a private bill. Under these circumstances the measure cannot be proceeded with this session unless a special vote of the House of Commons be passed suspending the standing orders in its favour, which is not probable. It is understood that the Government of the United States have resolved to send an agent to this country versed in maritime and international law, to co-operate with Mr. Adams, the American Minister in London, in the consideration of the various questions now arising, or likely to arise, on those points between the two countries. The object is to enable such questions in all possible cases to be settled promptly here, instead of their being made the subject of tedious correspondence. It is stated that the Home-office and the Poor Law Board have conferred very extensive powers on Mr. R. Rawlinson, acting inspector under the Local Govern ment Act, and formerly Sanitary Engineering Commisiener in the Crimea, for the purpose of providing employment, as far as may be practicable, in drainage and other works, for the hands now unoccupied in the cotton districts. WEST YORKSHIRE REGISTRATION.—There is every probability that the Hon. George Edwin Lascelles will be elected to this office. A comparison of the canvass books of the two candidates was made yesterday. The promises in favour of Mr. Lascelles were found to prepon derate so much over those for Major Fowkes that the latter, by the advice of his friends, honourably retired from the contest. The election is fixed to take place at Wakefield on Monday next, and at present no opposition to Mr. Lascelles s expected, DEPUTATION TO SIR G. GREY.--On Thursday last Sir G. Grey received, at the Home-office, a deputation of the Sheriffs' Substitutes of Scotland on the subject of their claim to increased salaries and promotion. The deputa tion consisted of AL% Sheriff Bell, of Glasgow, Mr. Sheriff Jameson, of Edinburgh, and Mr. Sheriff Tennent, of Greenock, and was accompanied by the following members of Parliament :—Mr. Dunlop, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Dal glish, Sir M. R. Shaw Stewart, Mr. Smollett, Sir J. Ogil vie, Mr. Caird, Sir J. Elphinstone, Mr. Mackie, Mr. Grant Duff, Mr. Wemyss, Mr. Dundas, Mr. Craufurd, Mr. Miller ? and Major F. Hamilton. The Lord Advocate was likewise present. The following additional members, who were also to have accompanied the deputation, were un avoidably prevented—viz., Mr. Stirling, Mr. Crum-Ewing, Sir J. Fergusson, Mr. Ewart, Mr. Fender, Sir T. E. Cole broke, Mr. Merry art 4 Mr Traili THE ROYAL ACADEMY. (FIRST NOTICE.) Yesterday's Private View of Toe Royal Academy's Collection of Paintings for Exhibition during the present season has left upon our minds—we cannot but frankly acknowledge this at once---a general impression anything but satisfactory, True, no doubt, that there are altogether here 1,205 works of art of various kinds, including among them even a few waifs and strays of sculpture : the majority of our sculptors contributing, as a matter of course, by preference this year to their own especial display, now rapidly beginning to adorn the nollonades bordering the Gardens of the Horti cultural Society down at South Kensington. Sculpture, oil painting, crayon drawing, etching, works large end small, ambitious of their kind, and others, wholly unpretending—there are altogether, we repeat, now ranged there along the walls or upon their pedestals, upwards of a thousand indivi dual works of art ready to be thrown open to public view on Monday morning—ready to be banquetted in the midst of by the notabilities of the land this Saturday evening. Among those thousand and odd works of art—more particularly contributed, as many of them are, by artists of undoubted, some of them even of very rare and exceptional genius —there are, it is nearly needless to remark, pictures of singular beauty, and in one way or another of very particular excellence. And yet, for all that, we have not hesitated to assert, we do not for an in stant hesitate now deliberately to reiterate that the general impression left upon our mind, after hav ing, according to our annual wont, attended the Private View yesterday afternoon—we have not simpler words in which to express one meaning —is anything but satisfactory. To begin with—the Exhibition on the present occa sion is certainly not above the average of the Royal Academy Exhibitions during several years past. It is rather, we will add quite bluntly, according to our view, decidedly below it. Scarcely one among all the men of note who are numbered amongst the Exhibitors contrives—to put the matter plainly— to be upon a level with his own reputation. Several of them unmistakeably appear to us to have sunk considerably beneath it. Better than which it would have been for them, perhaps, to have made no appearance whatever in the 1863 collection. As no less than ten out of the thirty-eight Academi cians (whose names are at this moment inscribed upon the role of the Royal Institute or Corporation) have decided upon doing—including amongst them, these ten non-exhibiting R A.'s, the President, Sir Charles Eastlake, the Treasurer, Sydney Smirke, and the Auditor, William Mulready. The last mentioned may be regarded as having long since retired— to repose upon his well reaped and pe rennial laurels. One of the foremost of the great artists of his age, again, Daniel Maclise is otherwise, as all the nation knows, more nobly occupied we might say, than upon any work he might possibly have contributed to the Exhibition—engaged as he still is —happily for the country and for his own fame, upon that grand picture of " Nelson at Trafalgar," which is to be the companion to the" Wellington at Waterloo," already adorning the walls of the Houses of Parliament, John Gibson, too, in his Roman studio, is known to ba no defaulter to the continued cultivation of the high art of which his contempora ries already recognise him to be so great a master. Besides this, however, there will still be noticed among the non-exhibitors, not only Richard West macott, John Foley and Philip Hardwicke, but William Dyce and Sir Edwin Landseer. By the public at large the two here mentioned, but more especially the one last mentioned will be peculiarly regretted in regard to this total non appearance. The frequenters year after year of the Royal Academy have become so accustomed--until it might be said to have actually grown into a fashion, otherwise, almost, we are fain to say into a popular weakness—to admire to absolute excess the shaggy hounds and sleek steeds of the great animal painter. Landseer's numerous ad mirers, however, will look for these—for once— in vain. Seven other of the Royal academicians who do exhibit, exhibit only a single work of art, Herbert, Poole, Frith, Scott, Nlacdowell, Pickersgill, and Charles Landseer being the seven —but three only of these seven do we care here to particularise. Herbert's " Judith" (50) is one of the very few pictures in this Exhibition conceived in the loftiest spirit of the art, and carried out upon the canvass with something like corresponding thought and power. Even the mere accessories of the picture shew this. The grand pose of the figure, the graceful disposition of the drapery, the full strung will of the dauntless Hebrew beauty --se shown in every muscle of the arm and in every nerve and outline of the lovely but terrible visage of the heroine—all tend to enhance tho effect of this scriptural-historical painting, a work worthy, so far as it goes, of the gifted hand that produced it, and yet very far indeed from taking rank as the artist's masterpiece. As for Frith's" Juliet" (100), pretty though the features of the lovesick maiden are, and charmingly truthful though the white satin of her dress undoubtedly is—it is al together unworthy of the painter of the Darby Day and of the Railway Station, and, worst of all, is any thing, in the sentiment of it, but Shaksperian. Poole, the third of the Academicians contributing a single picture to the present collection, presents to view this season, as that one solitary specimen of his powers, a painting unluestionably poetical both in its thought and in its treatment, but still, one so vague in the root idea of it, that it remains without a title upon the Catalogue, being simply numbered (191) there, with five maundering lines, from " A Greek Pastoral," tagged to the number. An idyllic picture, it is essentially—" pastoral," as the hint from the verses indicate, rather than syl van. Two figures only—stripling and maiden—. appear in the foreground of the landscape. Charm ingly grouped and tenderly coloured, with a fainter greenish yellow than usual, here again this picture we are commenting upon is very far indeed from I being an adequate exemplar of the artist's capabi lities. Who will not coincide with us—will not the Painter himself P—when we pass by this his latest production as by a work of comparatively slight account (for him), if we go back no further than to those two wonderful moonlight love scenes of his, one relating a few years back to the Days of the Troubadours, the other more recently to the escape of Glaucus and lone across the Sicilian Sea upon the heavenly night following the hellish " Last Days of Pompeii" and Herculaneum. If he could but . have afforded a just idea of n'oonlight as nis eyes behold the silvery lustre, and as his brush has depicted it—say to Frith in his " Juliet" picture already mentioned, or still more to Millais', in his hideous, ghostly, ghastly, eyrie, eltritch limning of poor Keats's heroine from The Eve of St. Agnes" (287). Mr. Pepper's • phantom at the Polytechnic Institution is- far beyond it in the mere glammour of its effect. As to beauty or grace—or anything at all, for that rnat . ter, but untruth and sheer: ugliness, and utter extravagance of treatm-nt, this picture has nothing whatever about it rendering it iu any way entitled to an instant's notice. The painter p•o -duced it, we should suppose, in an interval of hallucination or almost, we had said, of aberra tion. It is an outrage upon public opinion. One all the more to be regretted from one's knowledge of the real genius of the man. More than the glim mering of which genius, by the way, is caught in his fantastic rendering of a childish romp under a piano (like that of " Peepy playing at wildbeaats," in Dickens's Bleak House long ago) entitled " The Wolf's Den" (498)—but still more in what is indis- putably the happiest of Millais' three contributions to the gallery (7) "My First Sermon !" lovelier child •portrait Sant never painted, and one possess• ng other merits than mere loveliness that Sant could never aspire to. Phillip's great picture this year of " The House of Commons" in 1860—we grieve to note here as, in our estimation, little better than a distinct failure. It is no more than a bit of The House after all—the Speaker's Chair and the Government a nd Opposition Benches in its immediate neighbourhood. But it is in the &grant ill success of the artist in his attempt at anything like a truthful portraiture of the chief men in that great assembly, that we recognise, what appears to us, the main insufficiency of the Work as a whole. Lord John (as the noble earl of now-a•days was there and then, in 1860 in the 11 0 ° 8 of Commons'., Mr, Disraeli, the Speaker him self, Sir Buiwer Lytton, the late Sir Georg. Lewis, Lord Stanley and othets are bu feeble approximations to anything like likenesEes Lord Palmerston—though even his effigy Is fa , from completely satisfactory —is the nearest Per haps among th e c l us t er o f nota bili t i es her bearing a resemblance to the original. Til l rest we recognise as intended respectively ful so-and-so—and that is all. Possibly W , l should hardly have partic u l ar i se d th e P ra mier! portrait as in any way preferable, but for the cart natures of him upon a larger scale in other parts of the Exhibition—one (330), painted by W. T. Roder for the Town Hall of Tiverton, representing the veteran statesman in everyday costume, th e other (612), painted by E. B. Morris for the Town Ilan of Dover, portraying the First Lord of the Trete sury in his ridiculous livery, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, giving his lordship a very striking resemblance indeed to a sort of a sublimated Twopenny Postman. Hook has three of his re freshing Sea Views in the Gallery for 1863 —yet even the best amongst them not painted at his best. Air' Ruskin, himself, we should think, would abstain for onc e f rom rav i ng so very extravagantly a b o u. ,. their beauties. Lee's " Where the Trout lie" (19 5 ) lovely though it is, and true to nature, as nature Is here known to us in England, is nevertheless hardly enough for Lee's admirers, to feel satisfied with as his ! - Ward contributes too pictures to the Gallery this year—the smaller of them, the more to our liking (124), Charlotte Corday's Toillette ! The toilette of the " Angel of Assassination," as Lamar" tine called her. " Hogorth'6 Studio, 1739," is 111- teresting as a subject, of course, but to our fan* in no other respect, agreeable to look at. Whether we turn to the fuzzy-wigged Hogarth, or to the self -complacent philanthropist beside him, o r to the red-headed lout of a charity Loy to the ridiculous little charity girl in front of —gawking at Capt. Coram's portrait ! Intentionally or not we don't know, but at any rate very apPrn" priately, Mr. Peabody's Portrait (206), cleverly painted by Pickeisgill, hangs close by, and is here numbered the very next in the Catalogue. Dobson (with the many initials) has three of his pretty child pictures, the prettitst of all three being, to our mind (181), the chicken f ee di ng " F i ji ti li ng. " E lmor e! " Lucrezia Borgia" (130) is full of power, and I° singularly beautiful in the richness of its colour` ing. Out of Roberts' four contributions for 1863, com men d us to t h e b oldest of them a l l both in subject and treatment (114) "St. Paul from the River Thames." Premising that the "h it of the season—a hit made this year by an outsider' is Marcus Stone's (345)—(it is safe, we should OP to win him his Associateship)—we shall clo se our remarks upon th e gallery for to-dill' with a reference to that eminently succes s. ful and very beautiful historical picture' At a single bound young Marcus Stone has-1 the produ c ti on o f t hi s one p i cture—gone far beyon d his accomplished father. The work will e ngrav e admirably, and cannot but at once ensure, th us early in his career, the popularising of th e artist's reputation. The subject is from Beranger! noblest Ballad of the French People, and of thei r love for the deathless glory of the Great Napolea lj. In our next notice of the Royal Academy We shall be tempted to return to this picture"' indifferently entitled, we cannot but think, " 011 the Road from Waterloo to Paris"—(it should 1)13 called " Napoleon a ft er W aterloo, " or some br ie` , title of that kind)—but already, upon the instan t ' we uncover our head to the youn g artie we hail him as a painter gifted with the power ° winning a reputation.
