something of the matter, and he can tell by
what a thread our dominion hangs. Ask him
what would have been the result at Feroze-
shah if a staff of Russian officers, with a
dozen squadrons drilled and led by them, and
a couple of troops of horse artillery had been
added to the army of the Seiks, and he will tell
you that they would have decided the fate of
our Eastern empire. The sun that rose that
morning would have seen before its setting our
only available army annihilated, our Governor
and our Commander-in-Chief among the slain,
and another race the masters of all those vast
dominions. In saying this we are guilty of
no indiscretion, for it is now matter of history;
and to no one was the fact better known than
to NICIIOI4B, the late Czar.

MR. RUSKIN'S PAMPHLET ON THE EXHIBITIONS.
London, England, 1856-05-17

APOLLO.—There's one, but I wouldn't suggest it to you for
world,

AIAhSTAS —Thanks. But I can serve my country elsewhere than
in the orchestra, and so—. I suppose lam to announce the change
APOLLO.—By all means—it will come gracefully from you, after
your recent clever and spirited letters. Be as sulky as you like—" say
it was me." I'll take the blame.

MABSYAS.-Humph ! (Exit.)
APOLLO (hunts to himself smiling).—
The Dell came fiddling through the Park,
And canted —education ;
And lads and lasses came out to lark—
Which improved the population.

SKETCH OF THE ENGLISH PRESS.
(Suggested by the recent French enumeration of the Belgian papers.)
The Record.—An important sporting paper; supposed, ulso (from
the course it has taken with regard to the observance of Sunday),
be the organ of Sir Benjamin Hull.
The Guardian.—Circulates principally among the lower class
Dissenters.

The Leader.—Mildly Conservative—giving a regular support to the
cause of " Law and Order."

Belts Life.—Popular in the religious world—always giving por-
traits of clergymen (usually on horseback), or pictures of testimonials
presented to them.
The Economist.—Distinguished for the smartness of its writing,
and its contempt of Treasury patronage.
The Daily Neits.—An independent organ of public opinion—advo-
cating measures, not men. From its commencement, this paper has
never changed either its management or its principles.
The Weekly Dispatch —The arbiter elegantiartan of fashion—edited by
a distinguished member of the Beau Monde.
The Chronicle.—A paper rapidly rising in circulation and inguence
—supposed circulation, 120,000 daily.

be 11.116 an air as cool and
re ash itarating than that of almost any part
ma
of Europe. Lord DALHOUSIE, in fact, has
often admitted that the complaint under
which he has so long. suffered was rather
nvotrise4 then eatertrraer Ivy the etia y fo
India from England.
In any case, however, we contend that it is
not for the Proprietors to take upon them-
' selves to vote ftre thousand re year from
revenues which are not their own. While the
interest of their stock depended on their
careful management of it, it was of course
for them to grant such pensions out of it
as they pleased. The money so given was
then theirs. Now it is so. no longer.
The revenues of India are now not theirs but
the Crown's, and a fixed rate of interest on
their stock, under all circumstances, is gua-
ranteed. To the absence of any interest,
except as trustees in the revenues of India,
their present position unites the absence of
every inducement to the exercise of economy
or control It matters as little to them
whether those revenues can bear the burdens
that they lay upon it, as it would if the
funds voted away by them were to be pro-
vided by the King of Trmsuczoo. The result
is already seen in an enormous and annually
increasing deficit, for which Parliament, and
not they, will have in the end to provide.
And it does seem, therefore, on every ground,
most fitting that to Parliament, which deter-
mines the salary of a Governor-General, and
which must provide for any deficit, should
also be left the duty of granting such pensions
and rewards. Of one thing we are very cer-
tain, and that is, that if Lord DALHOUSIE has
any regard for the opinion of his fellow-coun-
trymen, it is from Parliament alone that he
will consent to accept such a favour under a
message from the Crown. In the present
state of public feeling regarding the India-
house and the mode in which it extracts its
revenues from the Ryots, we can conceive
nothing more damaging to the reputation of
a statesman than the acceptance of a pension
to be furnished from such a source. If Lord
DALHOUSIE possesses but half the sagacity
that is assigned to him by the public voice,
he will not subject himself for the rest of his
existence to the imputation to which the
receipt by him of such a favour at the hands
of Sir JAMES Hoerr and his brother Directors
would necessarily give rise.

tion belongs to Mr. Francis, of the United States.
The boats and waggons are constructed of iron, cor.
rugated by a peculiar process, not thicker than a
sixpence, are of immense strength, and capable of
resisting any force. Experiment, have been tried at
various places with a view of testing the strength of
the boats and waggons; and it has been ascertained
beyond doubt that they are capable of standing the
roughest service. One very remarkable proof of the
usefulness of such boats is to be found in the fact
that, when the material is penetrated by a gun-shot,
the damage can be repaired in a moment or two by
means of a common hammer. The invention, as
explained by Major Vincent Eyre, appears to be one
of real, sound, practical utility.

THE NATIONAL GALLERY has been further en-
riched (?) by a picture in tempera, by an early
Florentine master, Sandro Botticelli. It is circular
in form, and represents the Virgin with the child in
her arms, and two youthful adoring figures at the
sides ; one apparently St. John the Baptist, the other
an angel. The figures are half-length and under
life size. This is one of the pictures purchased last
year in Italy f 4 the national collection, and is de-
scribed in the directors' report as having at the back
the inscription, "M. Giuliano da San Ghailo "—an
evidence that it was once in the possession of the
Florentine architect San Gallo.
THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS have not
yet decided upon adopting the report of their en-
gineer, Mr. Bazalgette, upon sewage interception
and main drainage. The board resumed the debate
on Wednesday, Major Lyon supporting the report on
the ground that Mr. Bazalgette proposed to carry
the sewage to Plumstead, and to completely drain
the upper districts. Mr. Doulton opposed the plan
as too expensive, and because it did not, by discharg-
ing the sewage at Plmnstead, whereby it would be
brought back by the tide to London, effect the drain-
age of the City. The debate was ultimately adjourned
to next Wednesday.
SEVERAL EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES of watches and
jewellery have taken place in the metropolis during
the past week. The house of Mr. Curling, at Clap-
ham, No. 44, St. James's-place, and a house in Ken-
nington, all private residences, have been broken
into and robbed to a considerable amount.

INDIA AND THE CAPE.

Little intelligence of any moment has arrived by
the mail of the 16th. India was tranquil throughout.
The " absorption " of Baroda was to be accom-
plished. The Governer•General remained at Calcutta
Cape of Good Hope papers to the 22nd March
inclusive have come to hand. On the 13th his
Excellency the Governor, Sir G. Grey, opened the
third session of the first, Parliament of that colony,
with the usual formalities. Peace and prosperity
prevailed. The Kaffir chiefs expressed a strong
desire to continue friendly relations with the British
Government, and though every dependence was
placed upon their word, his Excellency declared that
the Executive Government would not be lulled into an

unwise security on that account, but at all times be
prepared for any outbreak that might be made,
though at present not at all expected.

AUSTRALIA.
Intelligence from Melbourne to the 4th Feb. has
arrived. Mr. Haines continued in office. In the

council, the " Electoral Act" has passed through
committee, the "ballot clauses," as they are called,
having been added, despite the opposition of the Go-
vernment, which however, on their resumption of
office, decided on treating the question as an open
one. An ingenious attempt on the part of the
squatters to procure a kind of legal _

OF W. PALMER.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—MAT 14.
Tuts trial, anticipated with so much interest,
commenced at the Old Bailey on Wednesday morn-
ing. From the excellent arrangements of the
sheriffs, there was no inconvenient pressure in the
court, none but holders of tickets being admitted.
Several distinguished persons occupied seats on the
bench ; among them were Prince Edward of Saxe
Weimar, the Eail of Derby, the Marquis of Anglesea,
the Earl of Lucan, Lord Henry Lennox, Lord Den-
bigh, dc. At five minutes to ten the learned judges,
Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Mr. Baron Alderson,
and Mr. Justice Cresswell, accompanied by the Lorti
Mayer, and several aldermen and sheriffs, took their
seats on the bench.
The prisoner, William Palmer, was almost im-
mediately placed in the dock. He was dressed in
black, and did not appear to have suffered in bodily
health by confinement- He walked with a firm step,
without trepidation, to the front of the bar, and, SR
the indictment and coroner's inquisition charging
him with the wilful murder of John Parsons Cook,
pleaded in a low firm voice, " Not Guilty."

TURKEY.

Omer Pacha was organising movable columns to
overrun the provinces where agitation existed.
A letter from Constantinople, in the Augsburg Ga-
zette, says :

It is affirmed that some foreign troops will remain in
Turkey, notwithstanding what has been said to the con-
trary. The Porte at first protested against this prolonged
stay, and the great powers consented readily to meet her
views; but at the same time they pointed out the con•
sequences of insurrection against the execution of the
new Hatti-Scheriff which might attend the immediate de-
parture of all their troops. The Divan hesitated in the
face of these considerations, and, after mature reflection,
requested that a corps d'armee should remain for an un-
defined period on the Turkish frontier.
The disturbances at Nablous, Konieb, and Mag..
nesia appear to have subsided, and the Hatti.Scheriff
would seem likely to be carrie out.
Persia, it appears by reports, has concluded a
commercial treaty with America—with three articles
which tend rather to turn it into a treaty offensive
and defensive. The first of these, says a letter trom
Constantinople, states that—

The Persians not being a maritime nation, the Ameri•
cans will be obliged for the advantages which the treaty
grants to their commerce to have a fleet in the Persian
Gulf, in order to defend Persia against the enterprises of
whatever maritime nation should attack her. The second
gives the Americans the right to have their ships of war
in the Shea-ill-Arab, the mouth of the Tigris ; and the
third of these articles allows them to have a factory at
Kurnab.

The Fremden Blatt learns from Bucharest that
Count Coronini has received telegraphic instructions
to begin on the 15th to move his head-quarters and
a part of the troops across the Wallachian frontier
into Austria. Half the army of occupation is to
remain for some time to come.

In announcing another Bazaar, the Committee beg leave to
express their deep feeling of gratitude to the public for the
generous patronage extended to the Bazaars held in former
years. The profits realised by them augmented so considerably
the fund by which the Hospital was built that but for these
efforts the New Wing, which is now fully occupied, could have
scarcely been commenced.
The pressure of the times. however, with the heavy increase
of responsibility occasioned by the accommodation given to 130
additional patients, and the opening of the Sanatorium at
Bournemouth, are considerations so important that the Com-
mittee appeal to the friends and patrons of this valuable In-
stitution with unusual earnestness to support them by their pre-
Bence at the Bazaar, and to prepare for the effort such articles
of work as they may consider suitable, including painting',
drawings, ttc. Donations also of music, minerals. botanical
specimens, manufactured goods, models of mechanism, architec-
tural and fancy designs, specimens of coins, birds, insects, books
and other publications, authors' autographs, autograph letters
from celebrated men and women, original poetry, tales, dowers,
&c.. or pecuniary aid, forwarded to the Hospital, will be grate'
fully received and acknowledged.

APOLLO AND MARSYAS;
OR, TWO " AMAZIN' POP'LAR MEN."
Mamas, the musician, challenged the god Apollo to a contest, and, being defeated, wa s
Rayed alive.—Classic Mythology.
Viscount APOLLO —Sorry to have given you the trouble of calling
on me, my dear Sir Benjamin, but you are a younger man than I am,
and these east winds play the deuce with us old fellows. Take that
chair.

Sir BENJAMIN MARSTAS.—It is cold, my dear Lord. Some people
don't feel it, however. Last Sunday, for instance, in the Park, my
friends stood, by the thousand, listening to the music, though the wind
was enough to blow through and through them.
Apouo.—Another proof of the wisdom of the determination to
which I have come. People ought not to be tempted to risk their
health in that manner. This was what I wanted to see you about. I
suppose you know that the Archbishop has been at me again?
MARBYAS.—And doubtless you treated as he deserved the bigoted
head of a haughty and bloated hierarchy, who extort from the
people the--.

_
APOLLO —Connu—connu, my dear fellow. We are quite alone, and
lam not a Marylebone elector. Do 3ou know that the Archbishop
spoke very convincingly upon the subject of this Sunday playing ?
Masses —Your Lordship's peculiar fitness for appreciating a reli-
gious argument--
APOLLO.—Eh ! Don't sneer. I've known very holy men in my
time—Talleyrand—Wilberforce—Edward Irving, and all sorts. I
know where a man is when he begins to talk theology to me, I can tell
you, and when he is in earnest, and when he is only talking Sunday
newspaper religion—rather that of your set, I'm thinking.
MAassAs.—Well, we won't quarrel
APOLLO (smiling loftily).—Well, no, we won't, or I might not survive
the shock. I was going to tell you, however, that, as you may sup-
pose, the Archbishop might have talked to me a long time before he
got me to promise anything—only he was reinforced by some other
people whose arguments were of a more practical kind. Ha! ha! My
dear fellow, don't look austere ; you know how the land lies as well as
I do. You must stop the drumming and trumpeting.
MARSYAS —What? Deprive one hundred and forty-seven thou-
sand people of a recreation which—why—by Jove, do you remember
your own speech in defence of it, a fortnight ago ?
APOLLO.—Of course ; but we live and learn. I've lived—and
earned something.

THE PRESS.

variety of animals are found in the lake regions, more
especially in the vicinity of the rivers, such as elephants,
rhinoceroses, buffaloes, giraffes, koodos, pallahs, as also
two new species of antelopes—the nakong and the leche.
The latter animals are well described and
pictured. They appear to be beautiful spe-
cies of the water-buck. The author thinks
that the nakong has never yet been described
by naturalists. The whole account of this
region is from its novelty of peculiar value.
The sporting adventures of the author, if
less showily recounted than those of preced-
ing African travellers, are not less wonderful.
In the regions he traversed animal life was
seen in its grandest forms. Fountains gush-
ing from rocks, or springing up from the
barren earth, were common in the desert, and
usually expanded into small lakes. To these
springs—set in the midst of thirsty tracts of
country, as if for the express enjoyment of
the majestic brutes which have found in the
interior of Africa their last and securest place
of refuge—there thronged in the stillness of
night the majestic denizens of the desert.
These fountains, with their rugged aceesso
ries of rocks, and thick gigantic vegetation,
present an aspect of beautiful sublimity
when lit up by the moon, and groups of
animals advance towards the water, while the
country for miles round seems alive with their
cries. Troops of elephants advance, some-
times heralding their approach with loud
trumpeting, sometimes only heard by their
heavy march, breaking the stinness of the air
" like the passage of a train of artillery."
Lions invade the spot with terrific roars, or
moving stealthily with a low purring noise,
undistinguishable till close to the hiding-
place of the sportsman, waiting for
them with his deadly rifle. The rhinoce-
roses come in such herds that they fre-
quently drain the copious fountain dry. In
one night the author shot eight of these
beasts, and might easily have killed more.
Hyaenas, leopards, wild boars, and other
feasts of prey, frequent these lonely springs
he forms of animal life which supply these
fierce creatures with food are abundant in
Africa, as the stately giraffe, the zebra, the
buffalo, the oryx, and the eland. For the
hairbreadth escapes of the author while
sporting we must refer to his narrative. He
was in the jaws of death three times in one
night.
His book is one:for everybody to read. As a
record of travel every page is fascinating, while
the naturalist and geographer will be delighted
with the new facts it reveals. Mr. Andersson
is at once modest and spirited in his narra-
tive ; and his volume is as creditable to his
literary talent as the enterprise it records is
honourable to his courage and endurance. The
plates are ndmerous and admirable, repre-
senting with vivid effect some of the most
striking scenes he witnessed.

SPAIN.

The reception accorded to Espartero has been
most enthusiastic everywhere. He was eagerly ex-
pected on his return at Madrid.
The Madrid Gazette of the 9th, in allusion to cer-
tain articles appearing in the Journal de Madrid,
speaking of French intervention as a very probable
event, says :
Some journals recently publishing letters representing
that communications of an unfriendly nature had passed
between France and Spain are now obliged to confess that
none have taken place, and that our diplomatic relations
with France could not be more cordial.
DENMARK AND SWEDEN.

The proposal of Denmark for the capitalisation of
the Sound dues was signed by Russia and Sweden

on the fitb. Of the 36,000,000 rix-dollars claimed
by Denmark, Russia will have to pay twelve mil-
lions (about 2,000,0001.), Sweden five millions,
and Norway one million, rix-dollars. The Hanse
towns, Lubec, Bremen, and Hamburg, on the other
hand, have formally declined to accede to the Danish
proposals, till the land transit duty levied by Den-
mark on goods passing through Holstein and Lauen •
burg shall be abolished. The relations with the
United States remain f r the present unaltered, but
the treaty will eApire on the 12th of June.
Prince Oscar of Sweden lett for Lubec on the
11th, en route to Belgium and Paris.

FRANCE.
The appointment of Baron de Bourqueney as
Ambassador at Vienna, and that of M. de Hubner as
Austrian Ambassa,lor at Paris, appeared officially in
the Moniteur of Thursday.
The Belgian press and Italian questions form the
principal topics of the French papers. The Moniteur
of Tuesday, with referanee to the former, stated :
The part of the French Government has bean simply
to point out the evil and its consequences: it is for the
Cabinet of Brussels alone to seek, to find, and to apply the
remedy. The Government of the Emperor concerns
itself with the efficacy, and not with the nature of the
remedy.
The published note verbale of Count Cavour upon
the state of Rome and Italy is discussed with much
vivacity. The Constitutionnel declares that France
and Austria will shortly present a note to the Pope,
indicating the necessary reforms. The Univers
denies this, and the Assemblie Nationale cbarac-
tenses such interference with the Roman Govern-
ment as infinitely worse than the attempt of Men
schikoff to coerce the Sultan.
The King of Wurtemburg left Paris on the 13th.
.Ilie visit of the Archduke Maximilian of Austria is
said to be connected with arrangements for removing
he ashes of the Duo de Reichstadt from Schonbrun

Forty. thousand men of the class of 1850-7 have
been disbanded.

Frequent diplomatiAcUSTßlA conferences are said to be
taking place at Vienna, between Austria, Prussia,
and Italy. The journey of Prince Windischgratz to
Berlin is regarded as not without political signifi-
cance. It is generally believed at Vienna that the
Prince goes to obtain from Prussia an extension to
Hungary, Gallicia, and Italy, of that stipulation of
the Congress of Vienna by which the integrity of
Germany only is guaranteed. Austria desires to have
the entire possessions of each sovereign guaranteed.
The Gazette has announced that Baron Brunow
Will rePlaoe Prince Gortschakoff As Ambassador at

The Emperor, it is thought, will shortly visit

Count Colloredo, the new Austrian Ambassador
to the See of Rome, left Vienna on the 9th for his
post. Previously to his departure he had a long
conference with Count Buol and Cardinal Viale
Prela.

RUSSIA.

The Czas of Warsaw announces that Russia is to
commence a campaign this summer against the Cau-
casus. General Chruleff will have the command of
the expedition, under the superior direction of Gene-
ral Mouravieff. The expedition will extend to Dag-
hestan, a distance of about sixty miles from the Black
Sea coast.
General Mouravieff has been making a tour of in-
spection in the Caucasus. He was joined by General
Chruleff at Ekaterinodar.

THE NEGOTIATIONS UPON THE STATE AND FATE OF
THE PRINCIPALITIES Will open very shortly at Con-
stantinople. There is a rumour, originating in
Berlin, that an Anglo French army of occupation will,
in the event of peace, replace the Austrian troops in
one, if not both principalities.
M. TaorLoso, the Paris journals state, was not the
author of the article in the Moniteur upon the
Legislative Senate. M. Perron, Chef de Division of
the Alini,ter d'Etat, is suspected as the wr.ter of the
article in question.
COUNT DE MORNY, it is reported in Paris, will be
the representative of France at the coming peace
conferences. M. de Morny is well known as being a
strenuous advocate for peace.
THE CZAR ALEXANDER is reported to have lately
made use of the following expressions, relative to
Germany and the Western powers. " J'ai les Alle-
mande en pttie, les Anglais en haine, et les Francais
en admiration."
THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BASTONADE aS a
means of punishment for acts of rebellion, vaga-
bondage, inendicity, &c., in Prussia, has been pro-
posed by twenty members of the extreme Right in
the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, who have
presented a project of law in favour of the motion.
THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON, at the late review and
distribution of medals to the Crimean troops, now in
Paris, when passing in front of the Zouaves of the
Guard, was presented with a bouquet of violets by
the son of a cantiniere of the regiment, a boy of
abort seven years of age, and already wearing the
Zouave uniform. His Majesty bent down from his
horse, and, touching the child with his hand on the
cheek, said—" Thank you, my little friend ; go
and take your bouquet to the Empress," pointing to
the balcony where her Majesty was seated with her
ladies, and then proceeded with his inspection. "But
how em I to get to the Empress?" said the little
messenger, in great embarrassment. " I will show
you the way, my little man," said a deep voice near
him ; and the boy, looking tip, perceived that it was
the tall drum-major of the Zouaves who had volun-
teered to serve him as guide. The tall man
then took the boy gravely by the hand, and in a
fewk minutes, by the imperturbable repetition of
" By order of the Emperor, a bouquet for the Em-
press," they soon arrived near her Majesty. The
Empress accepted the flowers, embraced the little
boy on each cheek, asked him his name and
those of his parents, and appeared delighted with
his present. At last the child, after having been
caressed and kissed by the ladies, returned with his
tall comrade to the court below. He was asked a
thousand questions, but all his faculties seemed to
be concentrated in the one fact of his interview, as
his constant reply was—" The Empress embraced
me."
