MINISTERIAL EXPOSURES.

THE House of Commons continues to present
a scene which, we say unfeignedly, every
lover of constitutional freedom must regret.
There is no more pitiable spectacle in the world
than to see a man acting, through some fancied
necessity, against his convictions. His con-
science prompts him one way ; his interest, or
his connections, or one of those thousand ties
which with weak men are a plea for fate, and
an excuse for baseness, binds him another.
He is a moral wreck ; the victim of adverse
winds and tides, stranded on a rock, left the
sport of elements which tear to pieces his
being.
Such is exactly the lot of the Ministerial
majority. Their perplexity would be ludi-
crous if it (lid not inspire a graver feeling.
One (lay they vote with their Ministerial staff,
another day they vote against it. All their
traditional sentiments and cherished convic-
tions have to give way when they are told that
a majority must be had. The word goes forth,
" You must keep in the Ministry." They obey
with a sigh, and cast another stone to the
cairn which monumentalises their degradation.
It is impossible that this state of things can
last. if the Ministerial majority were headed
by their natural leaders, they might vote that
black was white with comparative impunity.
The fidelity which is associated with princi-
ples of loyalty is estimated by a different stan-
dard from the adherence which is dictated by
mercenary considerations. Partisanship is a
kind of patriotism. It is often

and virtuous. It resembles thl

in its simple trust and confident
instincts is a better guide than
the Ministerial majority follow

masters follow the treacherous

FRAGMENT OF A BALLAD,

ILLUSTRATIVE OF ENGLISH HISTORY—BUT UNACCOUNTABLY
OMITTED BY MR. ROBERT BELL.
These fifteen gentlemen had, however, done their duty on Monday night.—Speech of Mr. T.
Duncombe.

It was the East Surrey champion,
The blatant and bold Locke King,
That vowed once more his motion.
Before the House to bring.

" There be fifteen plighted Radicals
Sit with the Ministrie,
And they have sworn through scaith and scorn
To speak and vote with me."

Then out and spake the " pliant "* Pam,
That sate above them all :
" Beshrew me for a shiftless loon
If ere this thing shall fall.

" Ye'll bide at home, my Osborne,
Ye'll mind what's said by me ;
I trow of all dumb animals
There's none so tame as thee.

" And mark me, stout Sir Benjamin,
To night ye'rc best away ;
Ye may visit your friends at the B9ard of Works,
Or call upon Nicholay.

" And heed me, John Fitzgerald,
Ye may off and hunt Sadleir ;
And Baines may go to the Duchy
(Or the Sound) of Lancastere.

" Though 'twas merry of old when your friends ye sold
At the franchise to have a fling,
Ye must leave the boroughs to Walmsley,
And the counties to bold Locke King.

" And what though diddled voters
May vow such deeds are base ?
A light, light thing's a broken pledge
When it wins a goodly place."

They've heard his words, the staunch fifteen,
They've fled, like snows in Spring :
And Pam has charged with the Tories
And settled the bold Locke King.

Merrily smiled that ancient Lord
As he pitted his vassali' backs—
" Yc've kept the County Franchis e up,
Keep up the Income Tax.

" For 'tics oh 'twould be a woeful thing
The Tories in power to see,
And a quarter-day that brought no pay
In the red and the white monie.

" Yell stand by me, my Radicals,
My staunch fifteen and true;
Ye've done your own constituents,
Now do your duty too."

• I haya great confidence in the pliancy of the noble lord.—ltr. 3f. Gibson.

BOWRING'S MONOMANIA.

Atit—" Bonnie Dundee."
To Admiral Seymour 'tw•as Bowring that spoke :
" In Canton there are people who opium smoke
Till their thoughts are all dreams and their intellect's gone—
Oh ! a capital place is the town of Canton !
Come fill up my teacup, come fill up my pipe,
Let's give these Chinese a good finishing wipe.
From Thames to St. Lawrence, from Danube to Don,
There's never a town like the town of Canton !

" Canton is a place where they've capital tea,
But they strongly object to give any to me ;
But since Palinerston's war-making genius has shone
Over England. I'm sure we may enter Canton.
Come fill, &c.

" There are towns beyond Pekin, and teas beyond price—
To get into the heart of the land would be nice:
But a trifle once gained, we'll be soon marching on—
So Neigh for the teacup of pleasant Canton !
Come fill, &c.

" Then don't let results make you feel in a funk,
But seize every lorAa, and smash every junk.
The Premier's the fellow to bid us go on ;
We shall soon make an entry to pleasant Canton !
Como fill," Ito,

tion of Pontefract, when a dissolution of Parliament

Wood has been started as a candidate, and more
especially on examining the requisition to find the
names of some of those gentlemen who, at the last

THE PERSIAN EXPEDITION.

THE news from the Gulf is very scanty. Prepara-
tions were being made to embark a large part of the
force for Mohammerah, at the mouth of the Kuran ;
but the operatics was much delayed by the preva-
lence of violent north-west winds which characterise
the period of the year.
The latest despatches received at Bombay reached
to the 6th March. At that date the force for Mo-
hammerah was being embarked with all speed. The
guns and men of the third troop of Horse Artillery
sailed for the mouth of the Euphrates on the sth.
Other portions of the force had already preceded
them, and the rest would shortly follow. The fleet
was to rendezvous at the entrance of the river, and
then to proceed up to Mohammerah by the channel
called Shatt-el-Arab, which was being carefully
buoyed. The capture 01 Mohammerah was expected
to take place about the 20th March if the intelligence
of peace did nut arrive in time to stop operations.
The troops were healthy.
A letter from an officer of the Political Agency of
Bagdad gives the latest news from the head-quarters
of the Persian expeditionary force. It will be seen
that only by a happy accident could the attack on
Mohammerah be averted :

Yesterday evening we had a special tatar from Constan•
tinople, who brought us news of peace, but the terms
were not known.

1 despatched a messenger to Bussorah immediately, but
he will not be in time to save Moliaturnerah, unless
Outram had news by way of Aden. My last date from
Bussorah is the 17th of March. On that day the general
was to leave Bushire for the river, where all the transports
were collected, and probably on the 21st they would go to
Mohatninerah.

I inclose a rough tracing of the place, which shows
where the Persians have raised their earthworks ; they
are described as being very creditable pieces of work, and
considerable resistance was expected. We may have
news before the post closes, but I do not expect it till
tomorrow.

I have two tatars ready for Constantinople.
The force at Mohammerah was said to consist of 8,000
regulars, 4,000 Arab levies, 1,500 horsemen, and 29 guns,
of which two are 24-pounders, four are 18 pounders, anti
the remainded 9 and 12 pounders, including one mortar.
Seven regiments of infantry, 1,20 a horsemen, and about
700 Arab matchlockmen are encamped on the north side
of the Mohammersh river ; the rest on the south side.
The intelligence of the Treaty of Peace arrived
at Bagdad on the 27th of March.

For some days past a movement has been observed on
the Parmese frontier, anti it is asserted at Genoa that arms
and munitions are beiiitt secretly conveyed there by the
Mazzini party. Forged letters from Garibaldi, declaring
that the Sardinian Government favours the movement, are
said to be in circulation. That Government, on the con.
trary, is using all its endeavour to put down any agitation.

THE Lonn CHANCELLOR has given judgment in the
appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls,
by which Mr. Vincent Scully was held liable as one
of the con►ributories to the Tipperary Bank, not-
withstanding the transfer of his shares to a third
party. 'rho Chancellor, after stating his reasons for
dissenting from the decision of the Master of the
Rolls, said he did not consider that Mr. Scully's
name should have been placed on the list of contri-
butories, and he would therefore vary the order of
the court below, and order it to be struck off.

A CORRESPONDENCE between the Dublin Protes•
tant Association and the Lord Lieutenant, with
respect to the late election riots, has been published.
The association in their address remarked :

That your memorialists have observed with intense pain
and indignation that for a series of years past faithfulness
to Protestant principles has been looked upon as unworthy
the countenance of the Executive authorities, especially
in Ireland, and that the profession of principles avowedly
hostile to the British Constitution has been a sure passport
to Executive favour, as though it were no longer politic or
necessary to uphold the principles which our beloved
Sovereign is sworn to maintain, and by virtue of which
alone she occupies the throne of these realms. That the
conseouence of such conduct on the part of the State
authorities is now made manifest in a most painful
manner. That crime, outrage, and lawlessness have
become normal in this country ; the Executive authority
seem to have become a dead letter, while the lives of Pro-
testants are placed in jeopardy, liberty of conscience out-
raged, the laws violated, and truth dishonoured.
To this the Lord Lieutenant replied, promising to
keep in view the immediate subject of complaint, but
declining all further correspondence with the asso-
ciation, for their remarks "of so highly disrespect-
ful and disparaging a character." The association,
upon receipt of this, met and adopted another
address, repudiating any offensive intention, but
claiming a right to address his Excellency at all times.

THE IRISH SECRETARYSHIP is said to have been
offered to and accepted by Mr. Fagan, M.P., and a
committee has actually been appointed to secure his
re•election in such an event. Mr. Herbert., M.P. for
Kerry, is, however, still spoken of as the successor of
Mr. Horsman by his sanguine friends. Considerable
anxiety prevails in reference to the appointment.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

IT is gratifying to find that there is considerable
movement in this institution, and its ancient popu-
larity will no doubt be soon revived. It is bad enough
not to have one national theatre for the drama and
for the opera, but it would be still more disgraceful
if wa could not support one musical educational
establishment. There was more than average ability
displayed by the pnpds at their second concert.
Miss L. Fosbrooke (pupil of Schira), and Miss de
Courcy, a promising contralto, pupil of Mine. Ferrari,
are both entitled to eulogium for their singing of the
duo from Tancredi. Neyerbeer's terzetto, " Giovo-
netto Cavalier," from II Crociato, sung by Manuel
Garcia's three pupils, the Misses Aylward, Whyte,
and Forster. was one of the good things of the pro-
gramme. Miss Clara Mackenzie, another contralto,
is worthy of honourable r ecord. Miss Louisa Van
Noorden and Miss L. Fosbrooke gave favourable
notions of their executive capabilities. Mr. Pettit,
in a skilful violoncello concerto, by his master, Mr.
Lucas, and Mrs. Thompson's clever pupil, Miss
Guivier, in the first movement of Beethoven's
pianoforte concerto in G, must have pleased their
instructors as well as their friends. A MS. overture
by a student, Mr. Turner, a pupil of 3lacfarren, had
some passages of merit, erring, perhaps, on the side
of scholastic elaboration. Owing to the decease of
the Duchess of Gloucester, the fancy ball, which it
was intended to have given in June, has been post-
poned to a later period. There is some intention of
getting up a concert on a large scale, with first-tate
artistes, vocal and instrumental, in aid of the funds.
Such an undertaking, or any one which will tend to
give vitality to the Royal Academy of Music, is
worthy of the support and patronage of all true
amateurs.

THE PRESS.

Several journals have announced the intention of
the King of Prussia to visit his sister, the Empress
Dowager of Russia, at Rome. The Indipendance
.of Brussels denies the correctness of the statement,
and suggests that it may have originated in the in-
tention of the King to visit the banks of the Rhine
and Carlsruhe, where his niece has married the
reigning Grand Duke.
The entire bill remodelling the taxes upon manu-
factures has been adopted in the Berlin Chambers
by a majority of 87 against 87. The impost upon
the shares of public companies was provisionally
adopted. The tax upon transferable shares was to
be applied to the stock of tha Bank of Prussia.

A letter from Paris observes with reference to the
Grand Duke's visit:—" I heard two or three days
ago, that the Prose would, on the very day of the
Grand Duke's entry, contain an article on the English
alliance, and that this article would be, if not written,
at all events, inspired, by a personage of exalted
rank, whose dislike of all that is Russian is very
strong. The article has appeared in the Passe of
this evening, and the paper began to be sold at the
very moment the Grand Duke was passing. It begins
with this phrase ":

The alliance of England and France is one of the fun-
damental bases of European civilisation. The day it is
seriously disturbed, the same blow will disturb the entire
edifice. IVe must then take care to la)• a hand on that
corner stone, for its fall would be alike fatal to both
countries. The community of their interests is evident,
and it is the blind only who will not recognise it.
Whoever sees and understands must not allow his eyes or
his thoughts to be diverted from this great object by petty
obstacles.
This is the concluding passage

Democratic France is the ally of free England. We
recognise in this alliance the great political necessity of
the nineteenth century, and we hail it as the pledge and
the security of the future.

Convocation was formally inaugurated yesterday by
the Arch bishop ofCanterbury. The Bishops; the Deans,
Archdeacons, and the proctors recently elected to repre-
sent the clergy throughout the province of Canter-
bury, assembled at the Chapter-house, in St. Paul's
Churchyard. After the usual preliminaries, Dr.
Elliott, Dean of Bristol, was elected prolocutor ; and
on the motion of Chancellor Martin, the Dean of St.
Paul's and the Dean of Norwich were selected to
present the new prolocutor to the Archbishop for
confirmation on Friday, the Bth inst., to which day
Convocation stands adjourned.

The West India steamer, Magdalena, arrived off
Southampton yesterday afternoon, with '2,637,145
dollars on board. The City of Manchester also
arrived at Liverpool with letters from New York to
the 16th. Her news is anticipated.

HER MAJESTY'S Sinp Transit, having the 00th
Regiment ou board for China, has put in at Corunna
in "deep distress." Tha following is an extract from
the letter of an officer on board :

Iler Majesty's ship Transit, Corunna, April 19.
Here we are ! done up ! Two days' " Bay " weather
sent us in here to be fresh rigged; you never saw a worse
sea•boat in your life,—crank, top-heavy, and everything
that's bail ! We have everything we could wish in
the way of provisions—only two days' salt since we came
on board;—but such an old tub you never saw ; the rigging
never set up, or anything secured; we had hard work to
keep the masts from going over the side; if she had pitched
instead of rolling I am sure the foremast would have gone
over the bows. We had to get tackles across the decks
from side to side to brace the rigging in to save the spars ;
in fact, a greater tub to roll I never knew. She is top-
heavy. lam certain that she will never weather the Cape,
or she will deceive all on board, both soldiers and blue-
jackets. She is a disgrace to the British Government, and
more so to the dockyard authorities. I f she is lost I only
hope my diary will be found to condemn those who sent
her to sea. You may think what she must be when I tell
you for a truth that there are not one dozen men (troops)
on board with a dry hammock, every seam in her deok
letting in'water. They had to give, or at least did give,
extra grog. MINIM •1•1111114•111 Mr,

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS AND
THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.

Mn. FRANCIS BENNOCU, on Wednesday evening, read
at a meeting of the Society of Arts, Adelphi, a paper
on this subject. Mr. Bennoch confined his remarks
to sue!' improvements in the public thoroughfares
as would give increased facilities for the trade of the
metropolis. Observing that the best of modern im-
provements were those which approached the nearest
to the plan of Sir Christopher Wren for rebuilding
the City after the great fire, Mr. Benuoch propounded
his own scheme, which embraced the removal of
Temple Bar and Middle-row ; and the establish-
ment of three great routes, east and west; the con-
tinuation of Cheapside north of Paternoster-row,
over Farringdon-street by a viaduct bearing slightly
to the south of Lincoln's inn Fields, and so on to
meet the improvements in the west, on a line with
Piccadilly ; a northern line through New Oxford-
street, a part of Holborn, diverging at the top of
the hill, and by a viaduct crossing Victoria-street to
Smithfield, passing in front of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, through Bartholomew's C10.,e, across
Aldersgate-street on the level, and so in a line with
and into London-wall, joining the Pavement for

evening Mr. Payne Collier presided. The chairman
spoke of the "immortal one," as being far above
man's praise, as one of whom nothing new could be
said, for his works were all in advance of the present
age, for whose praise eulogy bad been worn thread-
bare and panegyric exhausted, and of whose praise
nothing on this side heaven was fully worthy of
him. Mr. C. H. Bracebtidge proposed the " British
drama," in a speech of great length, in which he sought
to exculpate Shakespeare from the charge of having
violated the law in the matter of the deer-shooting.
The speaker read some interesting documents upon
the subject, which were supposed to prove that at
the time the celebrated deer was shot, the ground
upon which the act was committed was not a park,
and therefore the act was not a criminal one.
