THE ARISTOCRACY AND THE BALTIC 1/00

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.
SIR —A most unfair attack has been made in ft,
columns of one of your contemporaries upon the ar,;'!'t
cracy of the country in connection with the Baltic Put:j..
now on its way northwards. The object is a very /A:s
pable one. The letter in which this libel is embodieu_it •
signed by " One of the People," but if its contents.ll*;
been certified by "One of the Times" I could well 13°
understood its signification ; but, with your perroissio%
I will give some small account of the " common felloo

to which allusion has been made.

If Mr. Smith, of the India Board, is to be reclo-,310
one of the aristocracy because he married the 3'farrtlil),
of Lansdowne's niece, surely many of the names set 'I/I,'"

JAMES COOPER, IST ROYAL DRAGOONS.

" NEAR BALAKLAVA, March 14.—1 never enjoyed
better health at home than I do in this country, which
is one of the greatest blessings we have here. I must
acknowledge we have had fighting here most fearful to
relate. I can clearly say we have been for a fortnight
together and never had a dry thread to our Lacks, with
scarcely a bit of shoe to our feet, and the mud half way
up to our knees ; but, thank God, the worst of the
time is now over. We have good boots awl good
clothes, which will keep out a good storm. We were
all turned out this morning (14th March), expecting an
attack to be made on us by the Russians. They showed
a very good front, supposed to be about 30,000 of
them, to attack Balak lava, but they were not game
to try their luck ; if they had, they would have
met with a very warm reception from our batteries, which
we have erected. We have got wooden houses to live
in now during the fine weather. We ought to have bad
these good things a long time ago, and that would have
been the means of saving the lives of many thousands
of our poor comrades : they have lessened our army
greatly. But with all our losses we can still r wallop'
the Russians, for all their superior numbers."

DOG STEALERS.

II() THE LOVERS OF DOGS.—
Mr. Mum', of Mild street, the staunch supporter of those
faithful friends to man, begs to cAI 'the attention of lilies and gen-
tlemen to the SOCIE 1 Y for the PROS VCUTION of DOG STEALERS
ai:d their confederates, held at his house. 'which has done much
good. The impon'ty and audacity with which the dog steslers have
of late increased their avocations, to the great annoyance of the
owners, and the want of proper constables to check so great an evil,
has induced lir. Bi,hop to make It known that. as soon as funds can
be raied, it is intenced by the committee to appoint active officers
to carry out the objects of this most useful society. Subscriptions
and donations will be thankfully received by Mr. Bishop, treasurer,

THE HON. FRANCIS VILLIERS, M.P.

In sporting circles the abrupt departure of the above
gentleman for the Continent is the sole topic of conver-
sation, as so many of its members are his victims. We
would not willingly aggravate the feelings of the Jersey
family by any allusion to the painful indiscretion of one
of its Members, but deeming, as we do, that high birth
and liberal education are no excuse for crime, but, on the
contrary, an aggravation of it, we think it only right to
lay before our readers such particulars as have reached
us, guaranteeing. as we are enabled to do, tbeir authen-
ticity. Mr. Villiers' expenditure has lung been known
to exceed the income of the younger son of a noblemao,
and the rate of interest at which he was accustomed
to raise the funds for keeping up his position on
the turf varied from sixty to eighty per cent. per
annum. In the securities which he was accustomed to
give the money-lender of the great metropolis he
was joined by many frien is, who, confident of his
honour, did not hesitate to accommodate him with their
names. But we regret to add, that we fear, in too
many instances, those names were not genuine, and par-
ties who only imagined they wire labia for certain
sums, are now called upon f treble the amour t. some •'
sue marquis or
Bath, Lord Glasgow, and L id Ciifden, have disavowed
their signatures, and legal measures will be immediately
adopted to try the question. Many of the leading book-
makers of the Ring, who employ their spare capital in
the discount of bills of exchange, are heavy sufferers,
as the position of Mr. Villiers was such as almost to
guarantee them from any loss fur their advances. Such,
however, is not the case, and for many a long year to
come we fear the name of Francis Villiers will be re-
tained in their memory. Mr. Villiers has resigned his
Stewardship, and his seat, which we fancy will be far
More worthily occupied by Mr. Edwin James, Q C.,
who is a candidate for it. The hon. member is at pre-
sent supposed to be in Sweden, where the extraditional
treaty for giving up of delinquents does not exist. The
amount of his_ liabilities exceeds 120,0001.—Era.

SUPPLY.

The hluse then went into Committee of Supply, when
Mr. FITZROY took the chair as chairman of ways
and means amidst cheers.

On the vote of 154,0001. for the Royal palaces and
gardens.
Mr, WILLIAMS objected to the Vote on the ground
that there was not sufficient reason shown for voting
so large a sum, particularly in so thin a house. He ob-
jected to the house voting nearly 12,000/. for maintain-
ing Hampton Court Palace solely for the accommodation
of the paupers of the aristocracy. Since the accession of her
present Majesty no less than 155,0001. had been voted to
keep up Hampton Court Palace, one of the royal palaces
which he believed her Majesty had never even seen. In
addition to that, 45,0001. had been voted to keep in
order Hampton Court Park and Bushy Park. He ob-
jected also to the large sum of 1,6651. being
voted for keeping in repair the apartments of the
Duke of Cambridge in St. James's Palace, his Royal
Highness being already handsomely provided for. He
st-lould like to see those estimate: referred to a committee,
and he should move that at a future time. He moved
that the Chairman report progress, and ask leave to sit

Mr. WJLSON opposed the motion, as full
iand due
notice of those estimates had been given More the
c and they had been printed and placed.in the haruls
of members. With regard t 3 referring those esti-
mates to a select committee, that course had bf:eo
taken so lately as 1345, and that committee ha,l
made a very elaborate report thereon. Besides, if any
such committee were nominated, it should be done at
the commencement of the session; for if that was dome
now, it must he the end of the session before the com-
mittee could report.

Mr. SPOOSER concurred with the hon. member
(Hr. WVillia►ns) that some further information ought to to
given to the house on many of the details of those
estimates.

Mr. MACAIITNEY believed a standing committee
for the estimates at the commencement of a session
would be of great utility, and he should be prepared to
support the motion of the hon. member (Mr. Williams),
that the chairman should report progress.
Sir W. MOLESWORrIi opposed the motion, and
explained the necessity for the votes fur keeping the
Royal Palaces and Parks in perfect repair.
After a few remarks from Mr. WYSE, Sir F. BARING,
and one or two other hon. members, the vut..3 was
agreed to.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.,

-(Tills DAY).

COURT OF UdANCERY.

This was the first day of Easter Term, and, acccrding
to usage, the Lord Chancellor entertained the Judges,
Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel, to breakfast,
at his lordship's residence ; after which, accompanied
by his learned guests, his lordship proceeded in state to
open the Courts at Westminster.
The Lord Chancellor, on taking his seat at two o'clock,
was accompanied by the Master of the Rolls, the Lord-
Justice Turner, and the Vice-Chancellors Kindersley,
Stuart, and Wood. His lordship, after disposing of the
appeal of Woodgate v. Archer, proceeded to hear mo-
tions. Westminster-hall was crowded, as usual, on
these occasions ; but the expected visit of the Emperor
of the French and the fineness of the day appeared to
have increased the number of visitors.

HURRAH ! FOR THE NOBLE ALLIANCE !

[We extract the following patriotic lines from a
musical proof publishing by Mr. Charles Sheard,
of 192, Holborn, who seems to have caught the
spirit of the present auspicious visit of the Emperor
and Empress of the French.]
Hurrah ! for the Noble Alliance,
Hurrah ! for our brothers in fight ;
What foeman shall bid us defiance !
While the Rose and the Lily unite ?
The eons of fair Gaul are beside us,
The "Standard" and " Tri-colour" blend ;
Never more may a Faction divide us,
But each look on each as a friend.
Long, long may the two be united
The cause of "THE RIGHT" to advance ;
Long, long may the Lion of England
Agree with the Eagle of France.
Our past days of laurel-marked glory
Have had worthy comrades in fame ;
And when History tells our proud story,
She echoes forth Erin's loud name.
Old Scotia's brave heart is undying—
The first and the last in the field ,
Aud the sons of the South are now vieing
With ranks that will drop, ere they yield.
Long, long may the " Four " be united
The cause of "THE RIGHT" to advance ;
May the Shamrock, the Rose, and the Thistle
Be twined with the Lily of France.
Success to the Noble Alliance !
Come fill up a bumper to those
Who can fling down the gage of defiance,
And laugh at a legion of foes !
Despite our delusions of Error,
May the record of Inkerman tell
Tbat a despot remembers with terror
Where the blood of our " TEIREE HUNDRED" fell
Though sluggards great duties have slighted,
Never doubt that the cause will advance,
While the Shamrock, the Rose, and the Thistle
Are twined with th• Lily of France.
London, England, 1855-04-16

bar this year. (Laughter.) He gave this bill his hearty
-uppert.
Mr. BUTLER saidhe had received deputations from 21
parishes on this bill ; he agreed with the main provisions
of the bill, but he thought some of the details were ob-
jectionable.
Mr. BRADY expressed his approval of the general
principles of the hill, as did also Sir DE LACY EVANS and
Mr. LABOTICIIERE, the latter expressidg a hope that they
should soon see the introduction of a bill for the reform
of the London corporation.
Sir G. GREY said it was the intention of her Ma-
jesty's Government to introduce, during the course of the
present session, a hill for a reform of the Corporation of
the City of London. (Hear, hear.)
Sir B. HALL said some gentlemen had a horror of
the word " vestries," and therefore he should call them
local boards, and they would be elected in small parishes
as a distinct board, which board would have the ma-
nagement of the paving, lighting, and cleansing of their
particular districts. He believed it was impossible for
a central board to manage the arterial diainage, and he
thought it would be much better to have local and dis-
trict boards for that purpose, as was the case in all the
large provincial towns of the kingdom. If this bill
passed it was his intention to bring in a bill to amend
Hobhouse's Act, especially that part of it which referred
to polling places in the metropolitan districts. (Hear.)
As to referring the bill to a select committee, he did
not think it at all desirable to do so ; the principle
of the bill was fully acknowledged by the house,
and in the house its details could be much
better discussed than in a select committee ; and it would
be his duty, therefore, to resist any motion for sending
the bill to a select committee.
The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCTIESTEB, April 19.—The market continues quite
firm, and, as the orders placed during the last few weeks
have bek considerable in amount, and will find employ-
ment for many of the mills for some time forward, there
is not much pressure to sell, either in cloth or yarn.
The fabrics suited to the. Eastern markets are not in
much request, and rather easier to buy. Some of the
American houses are doing rather more business.
NOTTINGHAM, April 19.—Tbere has been a further
improvement in the lace trade this week. It is princi-
pally for the home market (the genial weather having
operated favourably); the improvement is also of a more
healthy character than has latterly prevailed in this
branch of the trade. The jobbing sales having ceased,
what is now doing is in every respect in the legitimate
way of business. Foreign orders come in tardily. The
hosiery trade has dtcidediy improved, both home and
American buyers acting with increased spirit ; the la-
bour market is consequently more active. The prices
of silk materials have not rallied much from the lowest
point which they reached a fortnight ago; nominal quo-
tations of ls. 6d. peril). have since then been mentioned.
In hosiery common materials, on the other hand, remain
firm, with a good inquiry.

THE NEW LOAN.

This morning at 10 the leading capitalists at-
tended at the Treasury to bid for the new loan,
and among those present were Baron Lionel and
Meyer Rothschild, Baron James Rothschild, of
Paris, Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, Mr. T. A.
Hankey, Mr. James Capel, Mr. David Stern, Mr.
Laurence Cazenove, Mr. L. Cohen, Mr. B. B.
Williams, and others.
qie Premier arrived shortly before the hour
appointed, and soon afterwards entered the Trea-
sury Chamber.
The Chancellor then stated the purpose for which
they were assembled, and after some observations
from Mr. Capel as to the footing upon which the
annuity was to be placed,
Baron Rothschild passed a letter to the Chan-
cellor containing the tender, and it appearing that
no other party offered, the communication was at
once read by the Ckancellor of the Exchequer, who
previously placed on the table the sealed letter con-
taining the minimum,.
The letter was as follows : •

" London, 20th April, 1855.
"Sir,—ln conformity with the public notice issued by
the Treasury, we have the honour of submitting the fol-
lowing offer for the loan of sixteen millions.
We agree to take the whole of the sixteen
millions 3 per cent. Consolidated Annuities, with
dividend from the sth January lait at par, payable in in-
stalments at the periods stated in the ,said notice, upon
receiving for each 1001., an annnity of 14s. 6cl. (say four-
teen shillings and sixpence) ternikable in 30 Tars, to
commence from the sth inst., payable half-yearly, and
we are accordingly ready with the required deposit on
the same.— We remain, sir, very respectfully, your obe-
dient servants,
"N. M. ROTHSCHILDS, AND SONS.
't To the Chancellor of the Exchequer."
The terms of the contract were then read, and
were in conformity with the proposals originally
submitted by the Government.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that, as
_ _

the terms were above his minimum, it would be
unnecessary to open his sealed letter, and the
tender was accepted.
The proceedin s then terminated.

TIIE.ELBETS AT DOVER.

DOVER, THURSDAY, 10 P.M. ,
The English fleet has been compelled to weigh anchor
in consequence of the strong easterly winds which sprang
up. rendering the exposed anchorage in the roads un-
safe. The Vice-Admiral, with the large ship, has pro-
ceeded to Spitbead, and the remainder of the fleet to the
Downs. It will no doubt be all assembled in Dover
Roads by Saturday, with perhaps the imp ,rta,t
of the Duke of Welliqgton, 131, and St. George, 120,
t' do honour to the Emperor and Empress ou their
departure.
Admiral Chabannes crossed over from Calais this
morning, and saluted the Port. The salute was returned
from the Drop Redoubt on the heights, with 15 guns.
The Admiral afterwards proceeded by the 12 o'clock
train to Windsor.
It is exceedingly gratifying to observe the entente
cordiale that subsists between the French and English
naval services. English naval and military officers may
be observed daily visiting the French ships of-war in
the Roads and harbour, and it is needless to say they
are received with every 'demonstration of co::rtesy ;Aid
cordial good-will by our gallant allies.
