Lord Joinr RUSSELL may see in Church Rates,
Minisiters' Money, and Annuity Taxes, so many
props of the State and the Monarchy, but broad
common sense laughs at such Eldonic folly. We
know thd,t were the whole of these three nuisances
swept a'way to-morrow, the difference, except in
the vanishing of religious parish and municipal
brawls would be unfelt by the kingdom. Words
cannot, to our minds, express the contemptible
littleness which sees the shadow of danger to the
State from abolishing the power of one-half the
nation's worshippers to tax the other half ; and
if, on the other hand, the allegation of danger be
a pretence, what can be said of the hypocrisy
which uses such arguments ?

LATEST NE WS.

BERLIN, APRIL 13

We learn from St. Petersburg that, by an impe•
rial order, the army is replaced on the peace foot•

The troops in the Crimea are hereafter to form
two armies—one under the command of General
Gortschakoff and the other under that of General

Luders.

The rumours that Russia had again opened her

ports for commerce are premature.

The House of Commons must get rid of
these ecclesiastical questions ; they are alien to
its duties, and are felt to be so. There is, how-
ever, but one way to do it, and that is to cease to
defend or to vote ecclesiasticargrants. What with
Church Rates, the Abjuration Bill, the Education
Bill, the Maynooth Grant Repeal Bill, the Minis-
ters' Money Repeal Bill, in addition to the con-
tests in Committee of Supply over the Regium
Donum and other grants, we have had a tolerable
dose of religious and ecclesiastical discussions this
session, nor is the crop by any means exhausted.
And what brings all these matters before the
House of Commons ? The money—cut that away
and these annual nuisances would pester us no
more. It appears to us that some of the superior
minds in the House are beginning to perceive this.

MARSEILLES, APRIL 19

Accounts have been received, by the Danube,
from Constantinople, to the 10th inst.
Arif Bey arrived at Constantinople on the 9th

with the text of the treaty of peace. A. Council
of Ministers was held next day to proceed to the

ratification. The son of Fuad Effendi was to leave

on the 14th, bearer of the ratified treaty.
The Presse d' Orient affirms that the Hatti,

Humayoun relative to the Christians is not in-
serted in the treaty of peace. The Plenipoten-
tiaries, says that journal, confine themselves to
mentioning the importance of that act. It adds
that the cessation of occupation is formally stipu-
lated.

New troubles, occasioned by the reforms, have
broken out at Kutaya and Tokat.
A portion of the English Baltic fleet was ex-
pected at Constantinople, in order to accelerate
the evacuation of the Crimea.

The journals say that in the month of May two
regiments of English cavalry would embark fur
India, and an English division, under the com-
mand of Sir Cohn Campbell, for Canada.

HAMBURG, SUNDAY.

lighted with what lie saw. aner Paella was in the
Imperial cortege. The Government continues the
organisation of its measures for carrying the Hatti-
Scheriff into execution. Nothing certain was known
as to the:real guilt of Sahib Pacha, accused of the
murder -of the Greek girl. Tile trial is to take
place at Varna. If the Pacha is proved to prevent

SPAIN.
MADRID, April 18.—The report in circulation
that au insurrection had broken out at Granada,
on the occasion of the drawing for the conscription,
produced in the capital only a slight alarm, which
was soon dissipated. The committee of the con-
gress appointed to examine into the conduct of the
ex-Ministers, have decided on impeaching M. Sar-
torious. Tho Gazette denies the trtith of the
rumours relative to the retirement of the Duke
de la Victoria.

The Independance Beige states positively that
more discussions upon the Italian question have
taken place in the Conferences. At the last sitting
Russia and Austria maintained that every Sove-
reign has a right to call in the aid of another power,
and to retain that aid as long as he chooses, with-
out consulting the wishes of other States. Eng-
land and Piedmont maintained a contrary opinion,
and so lively was the debate that Lord Clarendon,
it is asserted, allowed an expression to escape him
when speaking of Austrian policy, which is not
likely to find a place in the proces-verbal. He
described it as " an infernal policy."

Portsmouth yesterday by the South-Western and Brighton
and South Coast Railways, which lines are making ad-
mirable arrangements to meet. the demands upon them
for accommodation.' The lodging department is quite a
stuck-jobbing affair now ; the quotations are astounding
and the prices "firm." The following yachts are al-
ready at the station, and they will doubtlessly be merely
the forerunners of a large flotilla of similar craft :
Hawk (R. W. Y. C.), Lord Hill ; Foam (R. Y. S.),
Lorl Dufferin ; Extravaeanza (R.Y.S.), Sir Percy
Shelley ; Wildfire (R.S.Y.C.), Mr. Turner Turner ;

Mr. W. D. Cunningham, R.N. &c.
The arrangements at Southampton for conveying the
members of the Houses of Lords and Commons, the
great dignitaries of State, t fficers of the public depart-
ments, and an immense concourse of visitors to the naval spectacle are on the largest scale, and from
the great size and number of the steam-ships to be em-
ployed and the pressure for accommodaeion, the prepa-
rations resemble more the fitting out of a great flotilla
for some expeditionary warlike service than the mere
catering for a holiday sight. It is calculated that on
Wednesday morning next nearly 70 steam ships, from
the gigantic Himalaya down to the tiny tug, will leave
Southampton for the scene of this great national demon-
etration. The following arrangements have been made :
Her Majesty's steam-transport Transit, to carry 400
persons,is appropriated to the members of the House of
Peers, the Geeeral Screw Company's steam-ship Har-
binger acting as tender. The Perseverance srew steam
transport, to carry 450 persons, will convey a portion
of the members of the Commons, while her Majesty's
steam-ships Widgeon and Monkey and the Turkish
yacht will accompany that vessel and accommodate ad-
ditienal visitors from the Lower House, Her Majesty's
steam-ship Vulcan, to carry 400 persons, Holyrooo, 200,
and Himalaya, 600—amounting in all to I,2oo—are ap-
propriated to convey the officers of the publie depart-
ments. Two Government tugs will be forwarded from
Portsmouth to act as tenders to these last-named vessels.
With the exception of the Himalaya and the Harbinger,
and the Perseverance and Transit, which arrived yester-
day morning, the aboveenentioned ships will leave Ports-
mouth to-morrow, owing to the low state of the tide, in
the morning, and will anchor in Seuteanupton Waters,
se as to enable them to start at an early hour on
Wednesday. The majority of the members of the
Lords and Commons will arrive at Southampton dur-
ing Tuesday, and accoinModation having been pro-
vided for them in the various vessels many will sleep on
board on Tuesday night. The Himalaya is also arranged
with sleeping accominedation for the number she is or-
dered to convey, therefore it is presumed that many of
the gentlemen connected • with the public departments
will avail theinselves of the preparations; thus consider-
ately amde for their convenience. This wilt, no doubt,
be almost compulsory, for the difficulty in procuring
beds has become so great that those who a:e not already
provided will find it next to impossible to get them.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company have decided
upon sending to the review the following ships
screw steamers. Simi*, Alma, Sultan, and Manilla, and
the paddle-wheel ships Ripon and Euxine. These vessels
will convey the directors and shareholders of the com-
pany and their friends, each shareholder having the
privilege of a double ticket. The pr,parattons are on a
'nest sumptuous scale, an I 'refreshments for the day,
besi :es a breakfast and dinner, are being prepared
for between 3,000 and 4 000 persons Tile West
India Royal Mail Compaey are net lax in their ar-
rangements. It was the previous intention of this com-
peny to devote to the use of the directors, shareholders,
and friends their two paddle-wheel steamers Atrate and
Pay. but, wishing to give every accommodatien for tfe
comfort of roe visitors, they have determined upon send-
ing in addition -the gigantic paddle-steamer La Plata.
These vessels will have ou beerd about 2,000 persons, all
of whom will have an .adaiirab'e view of the mance-lyres
of theffeet. Refreshments, it eluding breakfast and dinner
on the most splendid scale, are provided for all the guests.
0 mine to the scarcity of their ships at present disengaged
the General Screw Curnpany have experienced settle dif-
ficulty ;11 taking HO prominent a position in the proceed
ings as the two previouely mentioned companies. The
Queen of the Seute, the only vessel at borne and available
(tee Harbinger being otherwise engaged), is in the pay
of Government as a transport, but application was made
to the Lords of the Admiralty for the use of the ship on
Wednesday, to convey the shareholders and friends to
witeessthereview. Toe request was iminediatelygranzed.
Circulars.were then issued arid forwarded to each share-
holder, informing them that in consequence of the Lords
of the Adm.ralty having granted the use of the Queen of
the South, the directors would be happy to reeeive the
names of those shareholders and their friends who are
anxious to be present on the occasion, es arra.ngeineut3
will be made fir their-conveyance by that vessel en the
payment of 11. each, which sum will include refresheitenee.
Tire Souths Western Company will send their steauseekdes
Courier, Alliance, and Wonder, and the Union &situ
Company the screw ships Saxon and Union, all of whieb vessels will convey the public at so touch per head. In
addition to these there are chartered by private indivi-
duals the Australian. Company's steam-ship Sydney, the
• Duke of Corn wall, Victoria, Nord, Nimrod, Aquila, Hope,
and between 20 and 30 others of various sizes. The dock
arrangements will be rendered as perfect as possible. A
plan has been prepared, showing theplace assigned to each
vessel as she is to lie alorigeide the dock quays. Barri-
cades will be put up on Wednesday morning in various
parts of the docks for the purpose of preventing any un-
necessary confusion. These divisions will be exclusively
used by the different departments as they embark, and
a board will be erected, on which will be painted direc-
tions ta the particular spots appropriated to the members
of the House of Lords and Commons, and also the visi-
tors for each steamer. The metropolitan police belong-
ingto the Houses of Parliament will be in attendance, to
assist the town and dock police in the preservation of
order. There is no dotibt that Southampton will be more
crowded during the days preceding and subsequent to
the review than was .ever previously known ; an I, had
it not been for the arrangements of the mail companies,
in preparing sleeping accommodation on board the vari-
ous steam-vessels, many hundreds of persons must have
remained unprovided during those nights. As it is,
there is no doubt that large numbers will be compelled
to walk the streets or satisfy themselves with the use
of a chair or floor to sleep on. All that is now hoped
is that the day will be iine, which will render .per•
feet a sight which, for magnitude and splendour,
will probably never again be witnessed upon the waters
of the Solent.

LEVIETY. AT ALD.ERSIIOTT.:.

There was a brilliant field-day at Aldershott on Satur-
day, and the large concourse of visitors who, despite the
weather, assembled oil the moors had the gratification
of witnessing one of the finest military spectacles pre-
sented since the formation of the camp,
Her Majesty and Prince Albert, who, with their suite,
had arrived at the camp on Friday afternoon, and slept
at the Pavilion that night, took a lively interest in the
preceedings. Among the nobility present were the
Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Lord Hardinge, Lord
end Lady Ellesmere, the Earl of Cardigan, Lord 'Elohot
M.P., &c.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended
by his aide-de-camp, Colonel M'Donald, came down
from London by the 7 o'clock train, and at once repaired
to the Pavilion.
The general place of rendezvous for the troops was a
wide expanse of moorland, extending for some miles her
hind the ancient Roman encampment, and forming
natural plateau, known as Ladyhouse-common. Here,
at haff-past 10 o'clock, the troops assembled in gay and
glittering array, and were formed in lines of contiguous
columns, Teener distance. The whole army of Alder-
shott was present; divided into four brigades, comprising
the following regiments : The 80th and 91st Regiments
of the Line, the 31 battalion of the Rifle Brigade, the
Antrim Rifles, and the Militia of Sussex. Glocestershire,
Leicestershire, Worcestershire, City of Dublin, sth Ele
thorne, Hertfordshire, 2d Surrey, Ist Somersetshire,
Kerry, Cambridgeshire, and a few detachments of the
Land Transport Corps, making a total strength of some•
thing like 18,000 men.
There is little of softnessor luxuriance in the surround-
ing landscape. Its general aspect is bleak and barren,
but it has that wild and desolate grandeur which is often
more impressive than verdant valley or golden corn-field.
Its immensity affects the imagination powerfully. The
Surrey moors, stretching far as the eye can reach, re-
semble a sea of heather, interspersed with billowy hills,-
the "offing," so to speak, dimly defined by belts of fir
and clumps of thick brushwood. In ordinary times a
sense of loneliness comes over the traveller who surveys
these desert wastes ; but, enlivened by the strains of
military music, flashing with swords and firelocks, flut-
tering with flags and leathers, ar d sparkling with every
variety of uniform, the scene on Saturday was full of
life, light, and motion, and had every element of pano-
ramic beauty. The contrast of colour was complete,
and greatly enhanced the brilliancy of the picture. The
dark costumes of the Rifles relieved the eye, dazzled
with "the spleedour and the sheen" of scarlet coats,
and the effect of light and shade was still further height-
ened by the contrast between the dusky surface of the
heath itself and the white unit' rms of the bandsmen.
There are few trees on these shelterless plains, bat these
few are of infinite value es elements of the picturesque.
In a spot where vegetation has no higher development
than furae and heather, a tree, everywhere a beautifu
object, becomes a luxury.
The Queen, who arrived on the ground shortly after
11 o'clock, was attended by a brilliant suite and staff,
among whom were Viscount Hardinge, Sir F. Smith,
RE., Gen. Knollys, Brigadier-General Hutchinson, Col.
they, Lord A. Paget, and her _Majesty's Lady-in-Wait- .
ing, the Countess of Desart. Her Majesty was mounted
on a chesnut charger, wore a dark riding habit with the
riband of the Gaiter, and across her left shoulder a sash
of blue and gold. Her hat was decorated with a plume
of military feathers. Prince Albert rode on her Majes-
ty's left, the Duke of Cambridge on her right, and both
wore the uniforms of general officers. The Princess
Royal and the Princess Alice followed in an open car-
riage drawn by four gray horses. As the Royal party
approached the bands struck tip the National Anthems,
the ensigns lowered their colours, and the troops pre-
sented arms. Her Majesty rode leisurely along the
whole line, which extended nearly a mile, and mi-
nutely inspected each regiment, returning the saints,
tions of her soldiers; with a grace in which dignity and
affability were hsppily combined, Just as the parade in-
spection was completed the wind veered suddenly and
sharply round to the east, and continued at that unpo-
pular point of the compass for the rest of the day, so
that the flags of the various regiments, though they had
little of the " battle" to brave, had more than enough of
the "breeze." The Royal party having dismounted and
selected their position on arising ground General Knollys
put himself at the head of the troops, and then com-
menced a series of evolutions and manoeuvres, which,
though "familiar as my garter" to professional specta-
tors, were rather more curious than intelligible to civi-
lians. Owing, we presume, to the absence of cavalry
and artillery, there was no attempt at a regular stain,
battle;and the operations differed from those of former
occasions in this respect, that any representation of an
enemy was entire!) dispensed with. This threw the
spectators completely on the resources of their own hula-
geiation, and hence arose much embarrassment and per-
plexity, which would have been avoided had the army
been divided into conflicting hosts. it was not very easy
to understand why the gallant sth Elthornes, who seemed
to be carry ing all before them, and to be keeping their
own right manfully, should suddenly fly to a new posi-
tion ; or why the 2d Royal Surrey, who defended ima-
ginary trenches with an intrepidity that reflected the
highest honour on every znerribi-r of the regiment, from
the colonel to the goat, should all at once give way as
if driven in on the right flank, The explanation is, of
course, that the gallant Elthornesand the heroic Surreys
are, like the personages of a Greek play, the victims of
an inexorable destiny, and succumb to swords invisible
as the phautotriedneer of Macbeth. But all this is not
quite so obvious to people who are not of a poetic tempe-
rament, or who may have neglected to cultivate the ima-
ginative faculty. The Rifles took up their position in
Cwsar's Camp, and inspired by the glorious memories of
the spot, performed prodigies of valour. Not Cosset 's self
could have behaved better. They threw out skirmishers
in every direction, they lined every ditch, they lurked
insidiously in every hollow,' they picked down men like
partridges, they hurled defiance at the foe from the sum-
mit of the hill—nay, they came down and gave battle to
him in the valley ; but 'tis not in Rifles to command
success, when it is predestined from the foundation of
the General's prograMme that .they shall not have it. So
they retreated—alas, the day I—and not a man of them
would have been left alive bad not a brigade of infantry,
drawn up in line on the crest of a ridge, come to the
rescue, and opened such a murderous file fire of blank
• cartridge as compelled the unseen enemy to turn tail,
The keen wind and cold mi-t which threatened heavier
rain terminated the engagement much earlier than was
or'girially intended. Nevertheless it lasted for more
than two hours, and through meadow and mountain,
moss and moor, the Royal party followed on foot in
whatever direction the army marched.
When the operations of the day had concluded the
troops formed into contiguous line of open columns of
companies to salute her Majesty, the bands playing na-
tional melodies as the regiments defiled past the saluting
poiiit.

At 5 o'clock the Royal party returned to Buckingham
Palace.

The Earl of Cardigan, attended by Captain Low, was
on the ground in the uniform of his regiment, but though
continually in the proximity of the Court, was not ob;
.erved to juin the Royal party.

CLEVER CAPTURB OF AN AMERICAN
BIVELLMOBSHAN.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.
One of the most clever arrests which for years past
have been made wss this morning effected on board the
royal mail st.,ain ship Persia, just as she was starting on
her trip to New York, by Detective-officer Scott, of the
Liverpool force.
Information was received yesterday at the police-office
by telegraph that several of the London hotels had been
made the -scene of plunder, and that at one hotel, the.
Great Western, two gent'emen were robbed of upwards
of 6001. Gentlemen staying at some of the first hotels,
in the metropolis have had their rooms entered at night
and money to various amounts abstracted while they
lay asleep and the house in repose. It happened, how-
evsr, that in the case of the robbery of the Great Western,
that the money was in notes, and the numbers were
taken—the police accordingly were put upon the alert.
These notes, it was found, were immediately changed.
into gold in London, the party signing himself " Alfred
Howard" upon every note, From the description con-
veyed by telegraph, he was at once recognised on board
the Persia by Mr. Scott, and certainly the cool manner
evinced by the latter on the occasion is deserving of a
passing remark. -Receiving the- information late last
evening, he at. once commenced his inquiries, and this
morning proceeded on board the Persia, and (as the
delay on board these steamers is limited) he was very;
prompt in his observations, and in a short time espied a
gentleman answering the description walking along the
deck. Having satisfied himself of the identity of this Mr.
Alfred Howard, alias Mr. Allen, he approached him and
asked him if he was a passenger per the Persia, and, of
course, was answered in the affirmative. Then attribut-
ing some coin plicaticin of-the luggage, he induced "Al-
fred Howard" to his cabin, when, having discovered;
where all his luggage were he at once arrested hid,. Upon
searching him Inspector Scott found upon his person a
first-class ticket to New York, and the following sums
78 gold pieces of $2O
each,inB
113
2—ovfi z 5.101,135 sovereigns,
410fs5,andtwo of
s2i
each,
all
gold,
$45 silver pieces, two quarter dollars, and 4s. in silver.
In addition he had a large quantity of luggage on board.
This capture reflects great credit on the discernment,
tact, and ingenuity of Mr., Scott, who, it may be added,
accompanied him to London in the 3.45 p.m. train to-
day. It may be also remarked that two accomplices of
the detected Howard are m custody, one of whom was
arrested in Ma ,chester and the other in Liverpool by
the detective Eaton, and it isc hoped before long that this
plundering gang will he totally annihilated.
The party arrested is an American, and from dom..
ments found in his luggage there is little doubt that he
forms one, if not the leading one, of the New York swell
mob who have earned for themselves a most unenviable
notoriety in plundering hotels both on the continent and
in this country.
The luggage of the accused is labelled "Boulogne,
Havre, Lyons, and Paris." Howard, or whatever his
real name may be, appears a fashionable man, wears full
beard and moustache, and wore on the occasion he was
arrested a plain suit ti clothes. When arrested he did
not manifest the slightest sursrise' and, to outward ap-,
pearance, seemed to have expected it.
