Wonderful to relate, the Whig Government has a prospect of appearing before the nation with a finan cial statement adorned by a surplus of about two millions sterling. Simultaneously, however, with this good fortune, comes the movement, the strong andainexorable movement, in favour:of a reduction in our expenditure. Harassed by the conflicting advantages and disadvantages of its position, the Cabinet endeavours to relieve itself from the dangers of this dilemma, by thrusting the population between the horns of another yet more perilous to the country, we mean the choice of an arduous and embarrassing alternative. On the very morning of the day when the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have to submit his annual budget to the House of Commons a most extraordinary " feeler" is thrown out by the mouth piece of the Administration. After glorifying and magnifying the surplus secured by the existing s y s t e m, until any one ignorant of the matter might readily imagine that this said sur pl us wag twenty millions instead of two—it is intimated that now has arrived the opportunity in which it will b e exped i ent to terminate that plan of surrender which has through preceding eessions bit by bit mitigated the amount of the national taxation. Now, quotha ! Now, when the profligate disbursements of the treasures of these Islands of Industry have become more than even unendurable ! Now, when the community is moved to its very heart of hearts by an abhorrence of such continuous prodigality and such interminable extravagance ! Now, when the Oays of sinecurists and pluralists are numbered, when their doom has been virtually pronounced, not by some oracle of Delphi, or by some Sybil of Curacea, but by the will of the people and by the voice of their true representatives ! Now, when the inevitable diminution of all this monstrously unnecessary ex penditure.has already commenced, and when gigantic preparations ire making for the removal of everything costly and' superfluous in the working of the ma cbinery of the Constitution—it is discovered that of all times, and seasons, and epochs, this is the available and appropriate ong for the Whigs to withstand any further concessions. "No more surrender !" becomes the cry of the Whig faction, when for nearly the first time in the annals of their Administration they find themselves, somewhat to their own astonishment, i n possession of a surplus. "No more surrender!" at the very period when the multitude in tones of thun der is demanding " Retrenchment !" If this be not an indication of political insanity, then has the wis *ut of ablatimarithip been hitherto misapprehended. • 4 0 .ratordrelPInsa been imagined that by running di. • - codatet:tolic opinion, Administrators have ZIA*W 41 :1 6 1f..*wn their own heads the storms of rA i rti 4 moments of great emergency, • . ' •of Revolution. Our present t 4 rulers would seem to be blindly :actuated by a very different conviction. According to their proposed system it would appear to be altogether apart from their intention to cause their policy to flow current with the wishes or opinions of the population. Hence it is that they have waited until the whole nation, from one extremity to another, has become clamorous for a reduction in the expenditure, in order that then, and not till then, they should make a stand against the encroachments of the Finan cial Reformers. Blindness so perverse, obsti nacy so insane, lam, perhaps, never before been witnessed on the part of any British Administration. The project of the Cabinet stands before the world without a parallel. Here, at this particular crisis, when the popular thirst for economizing has become almost insatiable, when the national desire of re trenchment has risen even to a passion, the Whig Cabinet comes blundering forward with its resolve that no further taxes should be surrendered. And upon what plea? Upon the pretence that efforts should at length be made for the liquidation of the National Debt, for the payment of the capital of 800,000,000/. ! After this specious attempt to evade the popular demands for retrenchment, we are bold to aver the, in the estimation of the community, the star of the Whigs has become, not merely momentarily eclipsed, but totally and for ever extinguished. The sus picions of so many years have been justi fied ; the dread of so many generations has been confirmed ; the aristocratic predilections, the pretended patriotism, the truckling to authority, the greed of place, and the lust of pension, are all exposed to the recognition of the empire in colours the most glaring, and in characters altogether indelible. We believe that were an appeal now made to the country none of these Whig sticklers for the maintenance of the present scale of expenditure would be returned to Parliament, saving and excepting those who happen to command certain snug pocket•boroughs— the cherished relics of an obsolete and lamented sys tem. From this time henceforth they cannot Fail to be regardel as the arch-advocates of the scheme which of all others has militated most against the national happiness. By their proposed refusal of all farther concession they have identified themselves with the principles now the chief objects of public detestation, they have associated themselves with the structure now for some time past doomed to destruction. It will require nothing short of a poli tical miracle to save them from sharing in that detes tation and from becoming involved in that destruc tioe, a detestation as implacable as the des atruction will be complete. Making no account whatever of the thousands squandered annually upon the bastards of an extinct dynasty; taking not at all into consideration the moneys expended upon the descendants of illegitimate accessions to the peerage, and upon the diplomatic triflers who have ceased to display their shoebuckles in the courts of foreign potentates—overlooking as mere bonbons, which the people ought to regard themselves as privileged in pelting at the heads of the aristocracy, the annual 10,5981. for the Duke of GRAFTON, 2,9001. for the heirs of the Duke of SCHOMBERG, 2,050/. to this ex- Ambassadors 1,780/. to that ex-Envoy, and so on throughout the whole deplorable catalogue—the Whig Government intimates its determination to resist all further attempts to reduce the amount of the national taxation, and to apply the surplus, whatever it may prove, to the liquidation of the national debt of 776 ,465,4351! When in heaven's name, and in all sober sadness, did these most conscientious Whigs ever attempt before to reduce this enormous debt by one cent, one sous, or one penny? Thb notion never entered into their imaginations until , they found: them selves driven thus:into au extremity. Now, however, the demand of reduction in the expenditure becomes importunate—and they suddenly discover that the National Debt must be liquidated. So ! The principles, the policy, and the patriotism of the Whigs are at length transparent. The mask has fallen from the Cabinet, and the scales from the eyes of the community, The Government, consequently, cannot remain very long doubtful as to what they may expect from the people, now that the people know exactly what they have to expect from the Government. Mr. DRUMMOND, in the course of his able speech on Tuesday evening, fully confirmed the statement that had been previously made by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, that the unjtht and impolitic Act for the restoration of cash payments was the result of an iniquitous and fraudulent compouni between the landccracy and the moneyocracy, by which the con tracting parties endeavoured to impose enormous burdens on the community in general, to double the weight cf taxation for their own private advan• tage. The honourable Gentleman said, " The landed interest got into difficulties, the cur rency measure of 1819 sealed the difficulty, and they then got the corn-law as an equivalent for that measure." This is the true explanation of th origin of those iniquitions laws, which involved the nation in the deepest distiess and materially increased the pressure of the national obligations during a period of profound peace and tranquillity. During the war thete was a currency adequate to the wants and exigencies of the country. There was ample employment at fair and remunerating wages for every man able and willing to work. The taxa tion was enormous,' every device was resorted to in order to bring additional revenue to the Ex chequer, but the nation was able to sustain it, and to make ample provision for every necessary demand. Within the last three years of the war there was no less than 510,000,000/. sterling ob tained from the British people,'partly by way of loan and partly by way of taxes. All might, however, have been obtained by taxation, for if persons had the money to lend out of their annual accumulations, they also had it to give, if the exigencies of the nation required it. A very few years since we heard a great deal of the utter impossibility of the nation finding the means of meeting 20,000,0001. or 30,000,0001. per annum for the erection of the greatest monuments ofpublic industry ever constructed in any age, or by any race, the magnificent chain of railways by which our island is intersected. This money was all expended a home, the best description of capital was created, and the expenditure of one year enabled the people to provide, in part at least, for the subsequent outlay. Yet we are told by the great organ of the bullionists that 80,000,000/. per annum (including the national expenditure and the interest of the debt) was suffi cient to paralyze the energies of no less thati 28,000,000 of people, and to bring on a commercial crisis of unparalleled intensity, bringing mercantile houses of the first class, which it had taken ages to rear up, to the verge of ruin and bankruptcy ; while in 1813, 14, and 151 at the close of a most sanguinary and expensive war, carried on without intermission for more than twenty successive years, the inhabitants of theßritish islands, then consisting of only 18,000,000 of souls, were en abled to contribute no less than 170,000,000/. ster ling per annum to maintain the glory of England, by being squandered away in foreign wars. "Look on this picture, and on that," and say which mone_ tary system was the wisest, and tended most to the national prosperity. Unfortunately, this state of affairs were not suf fered to continue. The currency quacks were active in their vocation, and the betrayed people were easily led astray and deceived by their - specious sophisms. Scarcely had hostilities been terminated before the Bank directors were warned to set their house in order, and to prepare for the restoration of cash pay ments, to he ready to meet liabilities contracted when gold was worth 51. 2s. per ounce, in an appreciated currency, when gold should be delivered at 3/. 17s. 10fd. per ounce, and when that gold would constitute the only legal tender for sums ex ceeding forty shillings in amount, in place of a mixed currency of gold and silver being available for that purpose, as was formerly the case. The evil consequences, the fatal results of , this most impolitic measure, were but too plainly discern ible. The Bank, after the warning it had received, had no alternative. It was necessarily obliged to contract its issues, and at the same time to Use every exertion to bring gold into the country. As the gold came in prosperity de parted : the 'people who were before happy and con tented, working hard, but well paid, were reduced to a condiion of poverty and comparative desti. tution. Murmurs and complaints were heard on every side,:and the conclusion -of the war, in place of being regarded as a subject for joy and mutual congratulations, was looked upon as a cala mity of no ordinary magnitude. We were told by Mr. HAUMAN, a Bank director of;great acuteness and intelligence, and considerable experience in monetary affairs, that the year " 1816 was a period of very considerable commercial and agricultural distress, which rendered it necessary to relieve the public by an increased issue of banh-notes." Tne fallen Nitro- LEON was generally toasted as the farmers' friend, and the millions, who wore not competent to understand the currency question in its various ramifications, erro neously supposed that it was the cessation of war that occasioned the palpable evils that were really owing to the wanton contraction of the currency and the reduced issue of bank notes At that period, the bucolics were grumbling as loudly as at present. On every side were heard curses both " loud and deep." The agricultural in terest was involved in ruin owing to the diminished prices of produce, and the farmers, who had entered into improvident bargains in a de preciated currency, saw nothing but ruin before them. Tne territorial aristocracy, however, had the game in their own hands. They possessed powers which have long since been taken from them. Rotten boroughs flourished in rank luxuriance, and a Gatton or Old Sarum had as much weight in the Legislature as the West Riding, or Lancashire, or even the county of Middlesex, which then contained populous districts that have since been erected into separate constituencies, as metropolitan boroughs, while Manchester and Birmingham were wholly unrepresented. But this was not all. No person was qualified for a seat in the Legislature who was not in possession of real estate. The " landocracy" were, in fact, omnipotent,- and could rule the nation as they pleased, could construct or pull down Ministers— so influential a body must necessarily be conciliated at any sacrifice. Truth and justice was as nothing in the scale. Measures were there fore immediately adopted to satisfy the com munity in general, and the agriculturists in particular. The general body was restored to good humour by an increased issue of notes,,, the country banks followed the example afforded by. the Bank of England, and everything went " merry as a marriage bell." Something more was neceseary, how ever, to appease the discontent of the sturdy yeomen. A land-tax was imposed, 'that enhanced the price of food to the war level. Tao infamous corn-laws were en- acted, and the people generally were taxed for the exclusive benefit of the privileged few. The " worth less rage," as inconvertible bank-notes were termed, gave " plenty to the labourer, profit to the trader, productiveness to the revenue, and strength and security to the State." The latter end of 1817 and the entire of 1818 were years of great and general prosperity, but unfortunately the currency theorists would not permit the people to enjoy that prosperity long. The agriculturists had been purchased by the corn-laws ; the bargain was, as Sir JAMES GRAHAM declared the other night, "an impro vident one," but still it was a " bargain," and carried into full execution. As " Lord Feenix" might say, they thought that " they were regulan'y bought, and they found themselves regularly sold." The fatal Act of 1819. was passed, notwithstanding Abe unanimous pro!est of the directors of the Bank of England, and the strenuous opposition of the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of Lon don. The warnings of experience were, however, disregarded—the currency quacks triumphed. Mr. RPOANDO gravely assured Parliament that " the alteration in value would only amount to four or five per cent., which did not appear very formidable to him," and the bribed agri culturists carried the change. The prosperity of 1818 proved indeed to be but fleeting and evanescent. The calamities of 1816, were renewed with increased intensity. The manufacturing popu lation were the first sufferers, but the distress speedily spread to owners and occupiers of land. They found that they had indeed sold their birthright for a mess of pottage, and even that poor compensa tion has been most justly and properly taken away ; and as Mr. DRUMMOND truly stated, " they find themselves exactly in the place where they were in 1819." ' What, then, remains for the agriculturists ? How are they to obtain a restoration of their former prosperity, and to hope for its per mit ence and stability ? Manifestly in one mode, and one only, by a return to the former system of currency, and by the total repeal cf the Acts of 1819 and 1844. In these struggles they will not be arrayed against their countrymen—they will not be seeking to gain a selfish object ; they will struggle for a real " protection to British industry" of every description, and they will have the good wishes of the community in general, and their cordial and friendly co-operation, in place of their decided hos ' tility and antagonism. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The following is the complete state of the poll for Paris : Carnot . Vidal De Flotte ... 127,005 Foy . 125,908 La Hitt° Minjean The above statement gives a considerable increased majority to M. CARROT. The election of the whole of the Democratic can didates for Paris has produced a profound sensation at the E'ysee, and would, it was rumoured, lead to a change in the Ministry; indeed, it was confid;ntly stated on Wednesday, that the whole of the Ministry had resigned, a statement which is at least prema ture, although it is not improbable that some mo difications in the Ministry may take place ; indeed, it was confide fitly stated last night, and the state ment was not contradicted, thlt General DE L, HITTZ had retired from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The following appeared in the evening journals of Wednesday:— " A Council of Ministers was held this morning at the Elysee, at which the President of the Republic pre sided. The Prefect of the Police and General Changer nier were present. " General Chsngarnier, and M.M. Thiers, Mold, Pis, catory, De Broglie, Montalembert, and the principal members of the majority, met in one of the committee rooms of the Assembly during the sitting of yesterday; to confer on the present state of affairs._ " Special letters of convocation were last evening ad dressed to all the Members composing the new Parlia mentary club of the Rue Richelieu." The Presse states that M. CAELpER, has been dismissed from the Prefecture of Police. CARLIER was an old employs of the Orleanist faction, and was brought up in the corrupt school of M. TEsTs. He is at present the man of all work of General CIIANGARNIER. The PRESIDENT of the Republic visited the Place de la Bastille on Wednesday afternoon in an open car- , riage, accompanied by the Minister-at-War and two orderly officers. He was attended by the usual escort of cuirassiers. He was everywhere well received. The Debats gives the following as the positive re sults of the elections in the departments from which returns have been received : "MODERATE CANDIDATES. " ener al Pelet. "IsxnE•—M. de Barra.

Dodfus and M. do Berkheim have a majority over the Socialist candidate." It will be seen from the above statement that M. VIDAL has been elected for theßas Rhin as well as for Paris. He will choose to sit for that department, so that there will soon be another and a single-handed elec tion for Paris. , - The reactionary journals lire quarrelling among themselves as to the causes of the ill success of their candidates for Paris. The Pairie says— " A small number of Legitimists—yea know not whe ther we do not offend the true Legitimist party by giving that name to some revolutionary Whites—have voted for the Red list, and diierted a great number of electors from taking part in the ballot. That is a political con duct. which the Legitimist party itself ought to do justice on. We are certain that the conscience and the good faith of the true beads of that party have already judged that defection snore severely than we ourselves could. do. The Gazette de France a-Al the Opinion Publique abstained from supporting the list cf the Elec toral Union. There are certain times when abstaining from action is deftction." . The Republican party have shown moderation in victory ; they will not give General CHAINGAkNIER the slightest pretext for attempting measures of coer cion. The National has declared, in the name of the great and united Republican party, that whosoever attempts any violation of the public peace is a traitor to the Republic, and the Republicans have rigidly observed the law to its very letter. The Debats consoles itself with the reflection that the result of the Paris elections will not affect the majority in the Chamber, and the Constitutionnel pre serves a moody silence. The National says : " Such trials of universal suffrage clearly demons rate the superiority of Republican France over all other forms of Government, and the fecundity and graudeur of our principles. No more pretext now fur insurrection or vic fence, when the popular will has thus the means of express ing itself. We are bound also to declare that the people has known how to show itself worthy of that sovereignty which was restored to it in February; it has compre• hended that it could not better consecrate it than by ex ercising it with dignity and calmness. Such as it has shown itself in the struggle, such, we areconvinm d, it will show itself after the victory. E merited its triumph too well to be astonishel at it, and it wilt render it more significant by its moderation. It will content itself with having rendered the most signal service to the principle and cause of progress, and with having proved that in France all is impossible except the Republic." The Presse says : - " To the majority which , triumph., to the majority which has proved us to be in the right, we confine our selves to repeating these words of one of our previous articles—' Moderation in success.' To triumph with out intoxication, is to triumph twice over—materially and morally." General CORBIN, commanding the first brigade of the garrison of Paris, has just been placed en dis ponibilite. He has been replaced by General CAN. ROBERT. This latter officer, who has but recently attained the rank of general, distinguished himself in the affair of Ze.atcha. General GEMEAU, in obedience to the injunctions of the parti-pretre, has forbidden the thirty-fifth re presentation of the Juif Errant, at Lyons, after having suffered it to be performed thirty. four times without interruption. We suppose - the "Etres Bien pensans," will shortly insist on the prohibition of the Tartuffe. The Moniteur publishes the names of the members of a committee, appointed by the Minister of Com merce, to organize the dispositions necessary in the interests of French manufacturers and others who intend to take part in the great London exposition of 1851." • A letter from Havre states that M. PERM DE LA PELLETRIE, a distinguished member of the tegiti matist party, has been arrested in that city by a su perior officer of the Paris police establishment. Several important ddtuments were seized in his house. M. DUPIN, President of the Assembly, was yester day afternoon summoned to the Elys6e to advise with the PRESIDENT of the Republic on the state of affairs. It was believed in well-informed quarters that so soon as the result of the Paris election was known the PRESIDENT of the Republic had almost decided on resigning, but that he was persuaded from doing so by General CHANGARNIER.

The present week's arrival of English Wheat for our market, coastwise, has been on the increase; the total quantity being nearly 3,000 quarters, almost wholly from Essex and Kent. By land carriage the receipts are small, but of full average quality. 'To•day, the show of samp!ei of both red and white was trifling; still, how ever, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat, arising chiefly from the large quantities of French Flour offer ing, was exceedingly heavy, and Monday's prices were not supported. Upwards of 6,000 quarters of foreign Wheat Pave come in this week. Imo qualities were mostly held at full rates of currency, but the middling and inferior kinds were Is. per quarter lower to pur chase. The supply of both English and foreign Barley was ott the increase. Grinding, distilling, and malting parcels were all somewhat cheaper. Malt came freely to hand. The transactions were wholly in retail, at about stationary prices. Oats, Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour had a downward tendency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE.-(THIS DAY.) - - Shortly after ten o'clock this morning, an accident of a most fearful character occurred near the terminus of the North-Western Railway, Eustoe-square, to Joseph Gill, one of the postillions belonging to the carriage of the Duchess of Cambridge, as he was driving his royal mistress to the station to be conveyed iu an express train to Prop:more. It apps ars that at the above time, the Duchess of Cambridge, attended by two ladies in waiting, left Cam bridge-house, Piecadillyr, in a carriage drawn by tour horses, and proceeded, to the North-Western Railway terminus, for the purpose of being conveyed by the quarter-I ast ten o'clock express train to Frogmore. On the carriage turning the corner of Whittlebury-street, the near aide-wheel horse slipped, and fell ou its off side, throwing the unfortunate postillion Gill, upon the ground. The animal, in endeavouring to rise, tell upon him, and struck the other horse, on the off side. This horse commenced kicking and plunging. Gill received several severe kicks about the head and body, and, eventually, before the horse could be held by the head, he slipped, and fell upon the unfortunate postillion, and both horses then commenced kicking at each other. Before Gill could be released her Roy al Highness and her ladies in waiting were assisted out of the carriage and conducted to the Lamb Hotel. After considerable difficulty Gill was extricated frcm under the horses, and was found to be in a state of in sensibility, and bleeding most profusely from several severe wounds he had received. lie was inst,ntly re moved to the house of Mr. Oliver, the landlord of the Drummond Arms, where Mr. Caharn, a surgeon, and several surgeons from the University College Hospital, soon attended. They found that his right leg was most extensively fractured, and his body covered with contusions and bruises, and in addition to which he had been most severely injured in the abdomen. 'the usual remedies were immediately applied, and be soon avter wards recovered from the st.to of insensibility. His sufferings are most acute, and he remains at the public house in a very precarious condition. The Duchess gavc strict injunctions that every possible attention should be laid the unfortunate man, and shortly after wards left the hotel, attended by the railway officials, and proce, ded to the station to start for Frogtnore. Her Royal Highness locked excessively pale, and seemed greatly agitated and alarmed. PRIVY COUNCIL.-('PHIS DAY.) The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to day in the Council-chamber, Whitehall. The Lords present wero Lord Brougham, Lord Langdale, tae Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall. Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning with the further arguments in Rawson's petition in the case of Noble's patent, is which it was sought to ex tend a patent " for certain improvements in combing wool and other fibrous substances," granted originally to Mr. James Noble. The patent was, bowel er, eventually assigned to Meesre. Rawson and Denisthorpe, of Brad ford, and those gentlemen had entered into an agreement to assign the invention to Mr. Samuel Cunliffe Lister, of Nlanninghaua r Yorkshire. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat again to-day in his court, the Old llall, Lincoln's-Inn, but we regret to say his Lord ship did not appear much improved in health. Hi s Lordship, after disposing of the unopposed lunatic pe titions in his paper, proceeded with the further argu ments on the part-heard appeal of Tomlinson v.

This was a summons taken out on a judgment ob tained in one of the superior courts. The tit feudant :aid that be had passed the Insolvent Curt since the judg ment, and had obtained protection. The debt wu3 in serted in the schedule. Vv His HoNotra, after some consideration, said he could not make au order, for the protection was against all pro cess, personal or otherwise. The plaintiff's attorney urged that it had been held in other courts, that protection in insolvency was no pro tection egainst process in county courts. His HoNouß thought otherwise and refused to make the order. A great number of ea: es have been decided contrary to this decision, but an action for false imprisonment has been brought against one of the judges of the County Court for committing a defendant under similar circum stances. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) There was only one case, " Hall v. Spilsbury," on a bill of exchange, for 101.35. 6d. There, was no defence; a verdict was given for the amount. MARLI3II.O"-STREET—(THIS DAY.) ROBBERY BY ♦ PORTER.—John Leach, a porter em ployed at Messrs. Swan and Edgar's, the extensive silk mercers in the Quadrant, was brought before Mr. Hard wick, charged with stealing from a drawer the sum of ls. 6d. belonging to his employers. William Roberts, a, clerk in the employ of the prose cutors, stated that it was part of his duty every evening after business to empty certain drawers, and ascertain the amount of cash taken therein during the day. For some evenings past, tatter counting the money, he had noticed. a great falling cff in the takings, which led him to suspect that some person in that department had robbed the drawers, and as the prisoner bad access to that department, suspicion fell upon him, and witness, in order to detect the thii f, marked severa l pieces cf silver coin, which he placed in a drawer. On Thursday morning about four o'clock, he hid himself in a cupboard, from whence he bad a view of the drawer in which he had placed the marked money, and in a few minutes after, he saw the prisoner enter and go to the drawer, which he opened with a key. Witness then saw him put his hand in and take something our,. He then rushed from his place of concealment, seized hold of the prisoner, and found Is. 6(1. of the marked money iu his hand. Witness then e'n municated with one of the firm, and the prisoner was given into custody. On bin„ searched at the station, a gold watch, a sovereign, and a quantity of silver coin was found upon him.

KENDRICK'S PICTURE OF TILLA r i PARTURE OF THE ROYAL A 5, 15 A RON FROM KINGSTON HARBOu'-nec We have been exceedingly gratified by the I; tion of an exquisite picture by Mr. Mathew Xen'',"„ c re s the celebrated Irish marine painter, of the dePer' - .0 of the Royal Squadron from Kingston Harbourtsie August of last year. The artist has chosen the It ' merit when the Victoria and Albert is approaen7 the lighthouse on the eastern pier 'of Kingston os9l bour. The Queen, Prince Albert, and the rl i g children are standing on the paddle-box, vinv,:tr their handkerchiefs, at the sauce time that the:' a , dard is being waved from the mast-head. The -e n d l i tt the Vivid, and the Stromboli, are slowly steanl in %re the wake of the royal yacht. In the forsgrenni the the animated masses, collected on the extremaitY s o pier, and the crowd of small boats, with their nreide pulling frantically towards the squadron. 9 , 11t , 5 0cl the harbour is the La Hogue, saluting; s o 4thei r the royal steamers are the fleet of yachts, vat" 1 is white sails and gay colours. In the backg r ri ci the Kingston, with its noble terraces ; and hehin - 1 tlf• , m n ountains of Wicklow and Dublin, rising ob ri l o n the eopen sea is on the right of the picture ; Ti n n- 00. Il left, the low-lying coast of the Bay of 11 , u , re' The scene is produced with the most scruPtuntl" t he gar to correct representation. The steamers is the ill royal squadron are portraits, and the local se eller t l rlf depicted with literal fidelity. We were partio struck with the admir a bl e a tmospheric effects olon, the artist has introduced, and withthe e xquisit e W e i ncr in which he has transferred to canvas s the Live ships themselves. Since Nicholas Pocock weJbey had no such painter of ships as Mr. Kendrick. are as distinctly individualised and as f ull of vois ratter as are the dogs of Landseer.
