REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to 54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street, Cheapside. J. It. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbe wish to paint their houses of Roman cement , stucco , or brick walls, as a preven tive to damp or rea spray in exposed situation s ; i t w ill not blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences, farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as common paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves.. sell, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South wark.bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no ether colour miry be imposed upon them for his. A liberal allowance to the trade. . ADHESIVE STA m p s ,Pera using usng th ese stamp s will do well also to write " paid" on the letter, under neath the stamp. Then, should the stamp be rubbed off either by acci3cnt or fraud, the word " paid" roust thereby be un veiled, and the receiver of such letter would, of course, resist any charge for postage.

GRAND MILITARY DEMONSTRA MI L TT CHATHAM. On Monday, in honour of her Most Gracious Majesty's birthday, Chatham was the scene of one of the most inte resting military demonstrat ions that have . for a long ti me taken place. The whole of th e troo p s in the garrison, including, with those of the line, a fine force of that distin guished corps the Marines, were drawn out, and manned the noble fortification which renders Chatham so complete a specimen of modern military engineering. All the evo lutions attendant upon the defence of a besieged fort were exhibited. Nothing could be mere picturesque than the spectacle which the troops afforded, ranged as they were along the imposing line of fortifications, diversified with every species of elevation and erection, and when tbe ar tillery on the battlements were fired, and from one extre mity of the line to the other continuous and connected vol lies of musketry flashed from height , to height, proceeding with the utmost regularity, and without a moment's inter. ruption between the furthest points, the scene exhibited all the excitement and all the activity of a siege. After the firing was concluded the assembled troops gave three hearty cheers for her Maj est y , which were heartil y responded to by the thousands present. The troops then maarcmhdi Col.r marched to the line, and under t he ins p ection of Col. Warne Murton, of the Mar ines, p erformed a variety f and evolutions. The artillery, we may state, were fi red by many Waterloo veterans.

The few small parcels• of foreigu Sugar offered at public sale were chiefly bought in at previous rates. In the Coffee Market scarcely any business was done privately, and the public sales went off slowly at easy prices. 6,000 bags Bengal Rice were only partly sold, but no change in its value took place. Saltpetre supported former prices,. and %COO bags at public sale were all sold at from 235. to 2Ss. NEAPOLITAN QUESTION. We have the following letter from Toulon, 2lst May:— There is great activity in our port. The arming of the three-decker the Somverain proceeds rapidly. Other vessels are arming in all haste. Some ships of the line, among which is the Marengo, have received to-day orders to put to sea. Their destination is not positively known, but it is probable that Admiral Rosamcl, now at Naples with the Ocean, is going to receive considerable reinforce ments. " The news from Italy is alarming. Letters from Na ples and Leghorn, of the 16th, 17th, and 18th of May, received to-day by different merchants, say that the ques tion of the sulphur monopoly has not advanced a step. All the negotiations have only served to show more clearly the enmity that exists between England and Naples. Eng land, it is said, is very peremptory in its demands, and his Sicilian Majesty, on his part, is little inclined to make concess!ons. It is supposed that he is supported by Aus tria, which desires nothing better than to find a pretext for interfering. " The King of Naples has set out precipitately for Si cily, where measures of defence are prosecuting with great activity. He had arrived at Messina. It was reported in all the towns of the sea coast that a corps of 15,000 or 20,000 Austrians had already quitted Milan to approach the dominions of the King of Naples. (From the- horning Chronicle.) The object of the Corn-laws is to keep the price of food permanently higher in this country than abroad. But then this object can only be attained by the demand of our prosperous manufacturers out-running the supply of food. Of all evil.; to agriculture, the greatest would be the reali sation of tlr,;t which the agriculturists profess 'to wish, namely, that this covntry should be independent of foreign ers for is supply of food. The price of food would be low if we ceased to require food from abroaelor that state of things could only result from a cheek to our manufacturing prosperity liMiting the increase in the numbers of our ma nufacturing population, and their ability to purchase. Agriculture must always be prosperous in a country which imports food ; for the very fact of importation proves the existence of a prosperous and growing population, having the means of paying a higher price for food than their neighbours. . . . (From the Morning Advertiser.) We will tot attribute evil motives to those who are en gaged in waning the generous and just . Policy of her Majesty's Ministers; but we should fail in our duty as public journalists if we did not openly express our opinion that the proceedings of the Tories could not be more per nicious, even if they were expressly intended to promote bloodshed and rebellion. Their chief organ, the Times, has, however, no reason to claim exemptionfrom the charge of attempting to sacrifice the peace of the c oun t r y to the triumph of a, faction. By propagating the vilest slanders against every individuil whose claims to national gratitude have been recognised by the Irish People—by loading its daily columns with falsehoods of the most atrocious description, and maliciously selecting as the ob jects of incessant and unmitigated vituperation both the persons and the principles most loved and cherished in the sister isle—this journal has proved itself a willing in strument of destruction, and a fit example for any traitor who would sell his creed or his country for a "mess of pottage." _ (From the Morning Herald.) Mr. Villiers denied that Sir Robert Peel defend s the Corn.laws. No. Sir Robert, according to Mr. Vil liers, only fences with the antagonists of these laws. Sir Robert only says that the camel's back' is not yet broken by its load ; anu it may be that the load is the cause of the buoyancy of the camel's motion. We are exceedingly glad that Mr. Villiers made t hest observations. The rea sonin-'s of Sir Robert Peel on the subject of the C orn . laws have, undoubtedly, been of a very equivocal and double-edged kind. On this point of his case Mr. Vil liers exhibited more talent than in any other portipn of his speech. Most richly did Sir 'Robert Peel deserve the sneers and sarcasms of Mr. Vitlicts . The Right Hon. Baronet will, in future, we dare venture to say, be more sparing in his compliments to the Corn-law repeaters, and to the cotton trade. Or if Sir Robert will he to civil at the expense of the agricultural interests, let him, at once. join the rr anufacturing conspiracy against native indwitry. (From the ifforn;ng Post.) It is the common tendency of weak, stealthy, and trea cherous natures to treat cruelly those victims of their vengeance who are fully in their power. Cats are prom bially cruel, and if Whigs had their due their repu tatien in this respect would be far worse than th a t o f the feline r ace . B ut Whi gs are b et t er impostors than casts, and they keep shouting fur freedom in public, while in the gloomy recesses of gaols they indulge their ferocity against those they late. W have not for a long time read any thing which affected us with a stronger sentiment of in dignation than the letter of Feargus O'Connor, giving an account of the circumstances of his imprisonment iu York Castle. It is a most brutal and unmanly vengeance which is wreaked upon this man, and we desire it may not be thought that we, or the party with which we act, can have any other feeling than that of disgust and abhorrence at such severity. FARIS AND HAVRE RAILROAD. ---.<l ~..----- - The following arc the preamble and the law read by Count Saubert in the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, the 23d, relative to the Rouen and I'aris Railroad:— " The railroad from Paris to Havre is that which has most occupied the Legislature. It is known by what cir cumstances the law authorising a railroad by the high grounds, and voted in 183 S, failed in its accomilishment. It is no use going over this question except merely to draw the conclusion that without some assistance from the State these great enterprises cannot expect to succeed. The new Company which now undertakes the road to Rouen, not to Havre, demands the assistance of the State. It proposes to run the road through the valley of the Seine. The road by the heights is no doubt preferable for the public interest ; it is that which the Government would follow, were it to execute the road. But it con. sents that the road should go by the valley ; for through the valley it also leads to the sea ; and an inclinaticn of five millimetres not being prohibited, the difficulty in the way of running a road from the level of the Seine to the heights leading to Havre becomes less serious. The Go vernment wished the line to be continued to Havre, but is forced to adm t that the enterprise is to colossal for pri. vate speculation. It will run, therefore, only to Rouen, but the company undertakes to bear half the expense of continuing it towards Havre across Rouen. The preamble her.; recapitulates the conditions to be found in the articles of the law, and proceeds to some ex planations respecting the collier. " The clauses of the coiner arc the same as those applied to the Paris and Orleans railroad. There it, however, a slight difference in the tarif of passengers. This is fixed at 12._} centimes (2. sous) for the first class car riages, in lieu of ten centimes ; the rule being to fix the maximum of railroad prices at the minimum of present diligence prices, and the prices on the Rouen road being higher than on the Orleans road. The Rouen railroad will embranch from the St. Germain railroad; but a clause will be inserted compelling the Company, if public security requires it, to make a special entrance into Paris. The Company is not permitted to issue shares till it be constituted a societe anonym. We would have preferred not bringing forward the project till it had been so constituted ; but to avoid loss of time, we have waived this. A portion of the capital ought also to have been lodged before the presentation of the law; but for the same reasons we have also waived this, it being understood that 3,600,000 francs will be paid before the commission can have prepared its report." HOP INTELLIGENCE. (From the Maidstone Journal.) 11flonsToNc.—Our accounts of the hops are rather less favourable. In some places, we hear, they arc turning yellow, and the warm showers have produced an increase of fly. The bine, however, generally speaking, grows rapidly, and looks well. MEREWORTH, MAY 25.—Since oar last we have had some very cold Lights, with two or three sharp frosts, which has partly stopped the growing of the hop plant, and in some of the grounds the bine is turning yellow. Within the last 48 hours we have also got a considerable increase of fly. lIADLow. —The hops in this neighbourhood are in the most flourishing condition, and bid fair to do much more than last year. STAPLEHURET.—The hops have made great progress since the late rains; some of them are overtopping the poles ; the cold nights will no doubt check their growth, if continued. A few fly are seen at places, especially near a warm hedge ; not much, however, is to be feared from them at this early period of the season. WORCESTER, MAY 20.—Our market still continues dull, and from the business done on Saturday we cannot report any improvement. There is a scarcity of good hops, and the least demand would, in all probability, induce a rise. Our accounts from the plantations still speak favourably of the growing crop, although in many warm situations, as stated:in our last, flies have been found, which the present moist atmosphere is likely to increase. We have had only twenty pockets of hops weighed at the public sales during the week.— Worcester Journal. HERTFORD.—There is scarcely a fly to be seen. The bine grows more rapidly than was ever known for the last sixty years, and looks well. HEItEFORD, MAT 18.—As might be expected from the late rains the bine has grown rapidly, but we scarcely ever recollect to have seen the fly more abundant in some grounds. This is doubtless owing to the long drought and very unusual warmth of the spring, which nourished myriads of the aphis into existence. We believe, how ever, that even this obnoxious little insect is now considered less formidable than formerly. A succession of dry wea ther would be very beneficial to the plants, and prevent mould. Some planters have, it appears, declined to sign the petition for the removal of the war duty on hops, on the ground that high duties ensure high prices. This however is certainly not the case, for when the duty was only one penny per pound, hops sold at from 8/. to la per cwt. ; whereas the average of the last six years, with the twopenny duty, has been at 31. I ls. per cwt. We fear, however, that at a time when the Chancelloi - of the Exchequer wants to raise no less a sum than 3,000,0001. by new taxes and a vote of credit, there is little chance of obtaining a remission of the war duty, unjust as it un doubtedly is.

THE EMPEROR PAUL AND CATHERINE 11.--- At intervals Paul showed himself a suspicious poltroon, and was always occupied with the supposed existence of plots against his life. His actions were the bursts of the moment, which unhappily were too generally those of outrage and cruelty. No one approached him without a sensation of terror ; still, however, not such as to ex eltr'e a strong mixture of contempt. What a contrast between the existence o f the courtiers around him—slaves to this terri fic caprice —and of those who had tee happiness to be near the person of the great Catherine ! Though there was something truly dignified in her easiness of access, it was not with a servile or tearful res p ec t that one appear •ce iin her presence.

" About 10 P.M. on Friday, the Bth inst., I was awoke by the ship striking, a n d, h asten i ng on deck , she ha struck on a red* of sunken rocks, called the Canal Rock, about sixty miles from Dagger's Orb, at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland. It rained heavily, with thick fog all night ; at day-break the vessel was half full of water. We determined to make for the shore on a raft, but in the course of the morning a lugger had put off to our assistance, and in her the crew and passengers reached this place about mid-day, but b-ggagc, cargo, and ship will all be lost, as six just breaking to pieces." The committee for conducting the benefit for the veteran Dowton have not yet fixed on the performances, but it is supposed it will either be the Poor Gentleman or Wild Oats. Grisi has generously volunteered, with the permission of Laporte, to sing on the benefit night, June 8.
