The other commissioners present were—the Right Hon. S. Herbert, Lord Stanley, Gen. Sir De Lacy Evans, Gen. Sir H. Bentinck, the Right Hon. E. Ellice, Gen. Wynyard, and Mr. G. Carr Glynn. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge attended before the commission. Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K,C.8., Commander in-Chief at Portsmouth, was expected to return from leave yesterday evening before sunset ; and, having in the interim been promoted from Vice- Admiral of the Red to be Admiral of the Blue Squadron of her Majesty's Fleet, to hoist that flag on board the Victory, where it would be duly saluted by the second - in command (Rear-Admiral Martit.), and all the ships on the station (except those under the " ordinary" flag) would change their ensigns and pendants from red to blue ac- cordingly. The Admiralty State yacht Osborne, Master- Commander Bower, K.. C.H., steamed out of Ports mouth harbour yesterday, at 1 15 p.m., for Cher bourg, to receive his imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, and bring him to Os borne, where lie is expected to arrive about 3 ID.

A letter from her Majesty's screw sloop Cruizer, Commander C. Fellowes, on her pa: sue from E ng _ land to China, dated " At Sea, March 23, 1857, in lat. 18 56 S., long. 103 28 E"' gives the following : " We have made a long and tedious passage of it. On the 29th of this month we shall have been six months from Falmouth ! We are now 700 miles from the Straits of Sunda, and we hope to be at Singapore in another week. At present we are rattling along at 11 and 12 knots, with a strong, trade wind (S.E.) Coming out we touched at Tene rifle, sighted Pernambuco, and were thus detained five weeks at Rio, repairing the damages which we sustained from a collision outside there a few hours before we reached that port. Ou the 18th of Jan. we reached the Cape, gunboats in company ; we towed them nearly the whole way from England. On the 23d, having refitted and provisioned, we again made a start, but a very unfortunate one, as we lost sight of two of the gunboats a few hours after we had left. We then proceeded to the ren dezvous in the hopes of picking them up, but after a week's knocking about we were still doomed to disappointment. A fortnight 'ago, finding our re maining gunboat a great drawback to our progress, we parted company with her also. They are all very fine seaboats, and have had ample means of proving it." "Singapore, Sunday, April s.—We reached this yesterday, and have orders to go to Hong Kong without delay." The Agamemnon arrived at Sheerness yesterday at 3.30 p.m., and proceeded to Saltpan-reach. She steamed round from the river Thames, and came into harbour over a strong ebb tide in first-rate style. TRANSPORTATION AND PRISON DIS- UI PLISE. The third adjourned meeting was held at the Mansion-house at 1 o'clock yesterday, the Lord Mayor presiding. The attendance, although a little more numerous than at the last sitting, filled only a small portion of the Egyptian Hall ; and. the dis cussion, although perhaps somewhat less desultory than that which occurred on tee 18th inst., entirely lacked the interet derivable from a succession of new speakers. Mr. Gneeit, M.P., again gave in his adhesion to Mr. C. Pearson's plan of prison discipline, while Mr. LAMAITRE propounded a scheme of his own, by which the profits of the convict's labour should be divided into three, equal portions, the first of which should go to support the gaol in which he is confined, the second be applied to his own suste nance, and the third be given as a restitution to the victims of his fraud or theft. To check the gigantic railway and banking defalcations, by which so many unhappy shareholders have recently suffered, Mr. Lemaitre also suggested the establishment of a board of public censors with power to make delin quent managers and directors disgorge their ill gotten wealth. The counter-project was at first treated by the chairman and the meeting as being . rather a supplement than a rival of Mr. Pearson's plan ; but it was ultimately got rid of by a promise that it should be considered in committee. Mr. W. K. BALL, who lately returned from a sojourn of 17 years in the colonies, gave it as his decided opinion, _that so great is the demand for labour in New South Wales its inhabitants would gladly receive a large number of our convicts after they had undergone a proper probationary training. Sir. T. TANCRED reiterated his views respecting the separation of reformation from punishment, and accused Mr. Pearson of omitting the punitive element from his prison system. The hon. baronet else remarked, that having a plan of his own on this subject, he and Mr. Pearson might be regarded as " two of a trade," but he did not go on to quote that part of the proverb which defines the relations usually subsisting between persons so situated. The speaker was proceeding to enforce the principle that as a preliminary to the process of his own reclamation the offender should undergo a definite punishment pronounced by the sentence of a judge when the impatience of the meeting compelled him to desist. After a few words from Mr. ROWE, Mr. C. PEARSON rose to reply, promising to con fine himself within the limits of one hour. He sketched the details and estimates incident to his scheme as submitted to the committee of the House of Commons six or seven years ago. Plans and specifications of his proposed prisons had, be said, been laid before that committee by Mr. Stephens, the eminent architect, and endorsed by Mr. Tite, M.P. He computed that the total cost of erecting, by free labour, a prison for 1,000 prisoners, accord ing to his system, including land purchase, build ings, and enclosing wall, would not exceed 80,0001., or 801. per prisoner : whereas the cost of Pentonville Prison was 170 1 . per prisoner ; that of Reading gaol, 2001. per prisoner ; Milbank, 5121. per prisoner : and York Prison even as high as 1,2001. per prisoner. Col. Jebb, Inspector-Gene ral of Prisons, had admitted the accuracy of this calculation, while Col. Chesterton, who had been governor of Coldbath-fields Prison for 25 years, also bore strong testimony to the merits of the scheme. Moreover, one of the first contractors of the day was prepared, on his own responsibility, to buy the land, construct the wall and building, and also to manage the prison, subject to Government discipline, on condition that he received 61. per annum for each of the prisoners, in addition to the profits accruing from their labour. Mr. Pearson estimated the annual charge of food and clothing for 1,000 prisoners at 9,5501., while a further sum of 4,0001. would provide for the salaries of 100 officers to watch over them. The earnings of 1,000 prisoners would average about 16,0001. per annum. Having dilated - upon the salutary influence of labour sentences in making con victs the voluntary instruments of their own maintenance, reformation, and release, and avowed his belief that our various colonies would actually compete with each other fur a class of emi grants who had undergone such an ordeal, Mr. Pearson concluded by moving a resolution affirm ing that the Secretary of State for the Home De partment should be empowered to substitute, in certain ewes, a proportionate number of hours of work, instead of fixed periods of imprisonment and transportation. This and other propositions embodying Mr. Pearson'a views were unanimously adopted, and a coramitee appointed to take meisures for subject ing them to the test of experiment. A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor ultimately brought thew protracted deliberations to a clofse. THE DERBY-D:ZIY. " Wednesday next," said the genial Viscount last week, with that elastic gaiety which a weight of seventy years has not repressed, and which has done so much to make him a general favourite with his countrymen—" Wednesday next is the day of our Isthmian Games." The Pindaric anniversary has arrived—the great carnival of the great Metro polis—the one occasion on which London forgets itself—the universal holiday of the millioned-peo pled city, when, with one accord, the busiest popu lation in the world shakes itself loose from the trammels of business—gives over for a brief breath ing-space the hungry hunt for gold, and swarming forth from its close pent hive of toil and accumula. tion, spreads itself under the open eye of heaven over the broad elopes of the Surrey Downs. The tradesman shuts his shop, the merchant closes his ledger, Westminster Hall misses its accustomed wigs, Capel-court is a soffit:oe, and Oheapside a de solation. • The Legislative Wisdom.of the country condescends, of course for this day .only, to cold chicken and champagne. Statesmen allow Europe, the, Empire, and her Majesty's 'Opposition, for 24 hours to take care of themselves. • Even the Jour nalist (that most unrelieved of toilers) drops his hand for awhile from that never resting plough which, working by, night as well as•by day, turns up each morning the, motly crop of - facts and spe culationq missing which the modern world - would be as forlorn as Charles Lamb deemed the old one waif t have been, without the fumes of the great Virginian weed—the breakfast table left to more , tea and toast—the dinner table bankrupt of topics, and the diner out reduced to the Biwa commons of his own wit; lAA "Rigour and Advice with scrupulous head," —let "Old Age and sour Severity" 'say what they will, it is impossible for any one who has risen into the atmosphere of a wider and more genial wisdom not to feel that there is much positive good in this sudden breaking up, for one day in the long re spectable year, of the dissevering decorums- and conventionalisru,s.thA hedge off cLass from class and man from man: It is something, in such a stereo- typed, gas-lighted, well-drained, highly-policed capital as this, to have one occasion which fuses all ranks, from the Duke to the Dustman ; in the pur suit of a common recreation. Depend upon it there was more wisdom than the graver kind of writers are willing to allow, in that strange license of the Roman Saturnalia which for a time levelled master and slave on the one broad platferm of a common humanity. The Derby is the London Saturnalia. Of course we are not now talking of the thing in a sporting point of view. The race itself is, after, all, rather the business than the pleasure of the day. Our prophetic friends Meteor and Argus have done their best to supply all whom it may concern with the best available information as to the prospects of the great contest. They are ex posed to an ordeal which the more cautious kind of vaticinators take good care to .avoid ; a few bouts from the moment at which we are wr:ting must decide absolutely the truth or falsehood of their predictions. It is as though Dr. Cumming had pledged his reputation to the . drying ; up of the Euphrates before the next, vigil of St. Bartholo tuew, or to the emptying of the seventh vial on the proximate morrow of All Souls. For ourselves, we confess with shame that we know little and care less about the "great event" so soon to be decided. We have literally at this moment no claar concep tion of the latest state of the odds. It affects us little to know that "Saunterer and Sprig of Shil- lelagh," on one occasion, " shuffled fo - rwirds in a most mysterious manner ;" that "Skirmisher," on another, " was not supported ;" that, there has " been an opposition wind to Lay Hawthorn and Zuyder Zee, which for a long time kept them at a low price in the market." A natural regard for our distinguished correspondent, Meteor, may give us some slight interest in the information that so long ago as January last he "he stood on Blink Bonny, Loyola, and Tournament, recom mending Zuyder Zee and Commotiom as the best outsiders, and Saunterer and Lambourn for hedging and placing." It is comfortable also to be assured that "the knocking about of different horses has still lett him a very good leg to stand on in Tournament ;" but we very much fear that when all these admis sions are made we must still plead a very dense state of ignorance as to the chances and even the names of that "list of high bred running horses" in whose performances so many thousands are te - - - dAy feeling an all-absorbing interest. For us the Derby day, not the D-eby ra?,o, is the point of interest and attraction. We cannot agree with those more fastidious critics who think the spectacle on Epsom downs has become less striking in proportion as the attendance has become less ex clusive. Vastness and multitude are the great elements of the great sight. In the world there is nothing equal to it. a hat bold broad sweep of down land massed as far as the eye can reach with living multitudes—the movement and the anima tion—the bright colours and the happy faces—the intense breathlessness of concentrated interest, as, straining every nerve for victory, some half-dozen possible winners of the Derby sweep along a living whirlwind of horseflesh, some thirty seconds' dis tance from the winning-post--and then the rush, and the roar, and the excitement—and the sudden hunger and thirst, and the joyous greetings, and the miles upon miles of pic-nic parties, and the scramble to the rail and the ieiels of the road, make a total to which the boasted revelries of the Roman, Venetian, and Paris Carnivals are mere faded shams of merriment, not worthy to show beSide the sports of a people as exuberant in their hilarity as they are concentrated in their earnest ness. We have left ourselves no room for moral ising, and perhaps there is no great loss in that. Of course there is a wrong side to the tapestry in this as in all other shows, and there is no danger of. its not being found out. For the moment we are more disposed to congratulate our fellow-toilers of the great Babylon on the recurrence of their an nual holiday, and to express a hope that Favonius will be on hie best behaviour, throughout the day ; that he may bear on his wings no showers that a parasol may not turn with ease ; that the dust may be as moderate and the sun as bright as could be wished ; that the race may provea good one ; and —to conclude with Horace as we began with Pin dar—that Meteor, proved a true prophet, may " strike the stars with his sublime head.—Daily News. THE UNITED KINGDOM ALLIABOE. The annual metropolitan meeting of this alliance was held last evening at Exeter Hall. The Hon. Judge Marshall (of Nova Scotia), in the chair, who in open ing the proceedings, said it had been his privilege, hon our, and happiness to have been associated with the total-abstinence movement many years, which he consi dered the only means by which all social evils were to be remedied. The Rev. J. Burns then proposed a resolution, which cordially welcomed the Hon. Neale Dow (the originator of the Maine liquor law) ; which having been seconded by T. Beogs, Lei., and supported by the Earl of Har rington, K.C.8., was put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. Upon the rising of the " lion" of the evening, the Hon. Neale Dow, the crowded hall became a scene of the wildest enthusiasm, which did not subside for some minutes. Having alluded to the eidente cordiale at pre sent existing between us and our Transatlantic brethren, th%hon. gentleman proceeded to observe that the annihi lation of the traffic in intoxicating drinks was a moral, political, and social question, and he believed this mat ter was more important to the State than all otber ques tions of the day. Objection had been raised against a prohibitory system that it would interfere with the legislative rights of the subject ; but the movement, ho contended, neither involved nor interfered with the rights of the subject at all, for this reason, that the subject had no right which was inconsistent with the general public good —salus populi suprema lex. They talked about personal liberty in Great Britain, and yet the most magnificent buildings which he had ever seen in this kingdom were the offshoots of beer-shops and grog-shops--the prisons, wherein her Majesty's subjects were restrained of their liberty, because their liberty was inconsistent with the general public weal. With re gard to the Maine law in Great Britain, they had 39- 40ths of it already ; for 1-40th part only of the popula tion was licensed to sell strong drinks, and consequently the other 39 parts were really under the Maine law. This law had proved of incalculable advantage in the province of Maine, for by its enactment was effected the almost entire disappearance of intemperance, and the gaols wore almost empty. He then proceeded to re view the effects which the Maine law had worked in Portland, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and other places, in all of which it had proved of the greatest benefit to the general populace. In a peroration of some force the hon. gentleman concluded by saying that he was sure that if her Most Gracious Majesty would lend her in fluence to this great movement, it would be said that no person had ever lived who had conferred fo much benefit upon her subjects ; and he felt assured that if she con sidered this subject from all points of view she would give her sanction to its cause, and then all men and all nations, with one acclamation, would rise, and call her " blessed." (The hon. gentleman sat down amid enthu- Bias' ic cheering.) Other speakers having addressed the meeting, the usual vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings DIRECTORS, CHAIRMAN.—Sir MACDONALD STEPHENSON, 115, Glou oester-terrace, Hyde-park.. • • , DEPIITY-CHAIRM-M—Captain DANIEL WARREN, 17, Por, chester-terrace North, Hyde-park.

This Railway, about 70 miles in length, will connect Smyrna, the most important seaport in the Levant, with Gaze! Hissar or Aidin, the great entrepot of the internal trade of Asia Minor. It will bring the two places within three hours of each other, instead of four days as at \present. Smyrna contains a population of 160,000, possesses one of the finest harbours in the world, and takes the highest rank among the trading ports of the Mediterranean. The aggregate value of her imports and exports in 1856, taken from the most reliable sources of information, amounted to 5,000,000/. sterling, and the tonnage inwards and out wards to 869,380 tons. The extraordinary fertility and resources of Asia Minor maintain Smyrna in her position as a trading emporium, not withstanding all the disadvantages she has had to contend with from the total absence of even the most ordinary roads, and which has from time immemorial rendered imperative the exclusive use of camels and mules. When the goods are packed at Aidin, the deterioration now caused, particularly in delicate products, by the frequent lading and unladiug consequent upon the nightly rest of the camels, will be avoided. The loss of damage arising from the death of animals and from numerous other casualties, which frequently , occur during the conveyance from Aidin to the port of ship ment, Smyrna, will all be obviated by the proposed Railway. The physical features of the neighbourhood of Smyrna, which is surrounded by mountains, force the traffic along two principal routes—one to the north, skirting the sea coast, and leading; by a circuitous path, to Magnesia and Cassaba, and from thence to the northern and north eastern parts of Asia Minor—the second to the south-east, opening upon the celebrated province of Aidin. The varied elevations of this part of the country, the genial temperature of the climate, and the alluvial nature of the soil, enable it to grow produce of all kinds from the rarest to the coarsest qualities. Tobacco, the fig, the vine, the olive, the poppy, the cotton plant and mulbery tree aro indigenous products, whilst wheat, maize, barley, beans, flax, hemp, and a variety of pulse and oleagin ous seeds are raised in large quantities. Valonia, yellow berries, wool, goat's hair, dyestuffs, drugs, skins, honey, wax, &e., likewise abound. Guzel Hisser, more commonly called Aidin, is a thriving city, having about 60,000 inhabitants, and is the point of concourse for persons from all parts of the interior, who re sort to that market for the disposal of produce in small par cels to the resident dealers trading with Smyrna; and for the purchase of foreign goods. According to a low average of the various estimates made by 'a Special Commissioner sent out for the purpose, whose report has been confirmed by all the principal resident mer chants of Smyrna, the goods traffic from Aidin to Smyrna employs 10,000 camels and 500 mules, at the cost of over 400,000/. per annum. Independent of the 10,000 camels which are constantly employed to carry the traffic between Smyrna and Aidin, there are at least 20,00.0 employed on va rious routes in cyniveying produen from theinterior to the sea.- When this Railway is completed to Aidin the traffic conveyed by at least 10,000 of these 20,000 camels will come to the line, thus at once considerably increasing the existing amount of traffic between the two places. It is evident, from the above data, that the present goods traffic will give a divi lend of 12 per cent. per annum, after deducting one-half of the receipts for working expenses, and the division of profits with Government over 7 per cent. With' regard to passenger traffic, no accurate estimate can be at present formed. Looking, however, to the result of the opening of the Railways in Egypt and India, and to the ab i seuce of any passport system, a large revenue is certain to be derived from this source. The Turkish Government guarantees a minimum dividend of 6 per cent, per annum on the expenditure not exceeding 1,200,0001., and contractors of eminence and responsibility have offered to undertake the construction of the Railway with ample rolling stock within this amount ; but the pre sent extraordinary traffic along the route it will traverse, un equalled by that of any railway ever offered to the public, is the best guarantee of its success. The Turkish Government, by the terms of the concession, reserve 15,000 shares, or 300,000/. for local subscription. The applications for these , shares, headed by his Imperial Ma jesty the Sultan, the Grand Vizier, and several influential capitalists of Constantinople, have considerably exceeded this amount. The concession, which has been granted and confirmed by au Imperial firman, accords the most valuable privileges. The following is an outline of the principal clauses ;- 1. It is perpetual, subject to the right of purchase by the Ottoman Government upon agreed and equitable terms at the end of 50, 75, 95, and every subsequent 20 years. 2. A guarantee of dividend of 6 per cent, per annum as above mentioned for 50 years. The line to be opened in sec tions, and the guarantee to come into operation as each sec tion is opened. The profits over 7 per cent, to be divided with Government. 3. All Government land and materials to be taken and made use of by the Company gratuitously. 4. All the materials for constructing, working, and renew ing the Railway to be imported duty free. 5. The power of working all coal mines within 30 miles of any part of the line, on payment of a fixed royalty. 6. The privilege of erecting warehouses with a Custom house attached on the Company's premises at Smyrna. 7, The engagement of Government not to grant a conces sion to any competing line. 8. The unrestricted power of management. The Directors having a due regard to the present unfavour• able time for launching a new undertaking, have deferred and would still defer, bringing forward the enterprise were it not that the conditions of the Imperial firman limit the date at which operations must be commenced. They have, how ever, determined that the first section of the line only shall receive their immediate attention, so as to obviate the neces sity of making h,eavy calls during the existing stringency of the money market. The Concessionaries who have deposited at their own risk the caution money, amounting to 24,000/., and who have also defrayed all the exp nses since the first negotiations were opened with the Porte, including the cost of detaled plans, sections, and surveys, engineering, travelling, and other ex penses, have agree to accept for their int erest in the conces sion, and for all preliminary expenses, 33 per cent, upon the capital, which they will take iu shares or otherwise as may be deemed most advisable for the interests of the Company ; and they have also, to show their confidence in the undertaking, subscribed to the capital of the Company to the extent of 90,000/. in addition. The first and most important section of 46 miles from Smyrna, which it is calculated will yield a most satisfactory return upon the outlay, may be opened in time to bring down the produce of the harvest of 1858. Carefully prepared plans, sections, and estimates of the cost of the line, show that the capital on which the guarantee is given is sufficient for its entire construction, the supply of rolling stock, and the erection of stations, warehouses, and water-side premises. Interest at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum will be allowed ou payments either for, or in anticipation of, calls during the construction of the line. Provision for this item of expenditure has been made in estimating the required capital at 1,200,000/. upon which the guarantee of the Turkish Government has been secured. Applications for shares, with the bankers' receipt for the deposit, to be addressed to Messrs. Mullens and Co., 3, Lombard-street; or to the Secretary of the Company, 38, Cannon-street, City, where forms can be obtained.
