The Imperial Hotel Company has been formed, with Limited
Liability under the• Act of last Session, for the purpose of
building a large Hotel, on the principle of the great Hotel the
Louvre, Rue Itivoli, Paris.
Parliament having ~urchased a site for a new National
Gallery at Kensington, the site and adjacent ground now oc-
cupied by the Natier;al Gallery, Trafalgar Square, is in every
respect oue of the finest and most appropriate that could be
selected in London for such an Hotel.

As investments for capital, such undertakings have proved
highly successful. The leading capitalists in Europe and
America have united in promoting them. The Great Western
Hotel in Loudon, on the same principle, has proved to be a
highly remunerative investment ; the not profits in the last
division were 3.1 per cent. per annum, and the dividend was
at the rate of 25 per cent. per annum. The Shares have
about doubled in value, and, although it has not been in ope-
ration two years, it is too small to meet the daily applications
for accommodation. The profits of the IMPERIAL HOTEL, from
its superior situation and many other advantages, will be at
least equal to the most lucrative undertakings of a similar
nature,

A Bill giving powers to the Company, with reference to the
site in Trafalgar-square, has been read a second time in the
House of Commons.

AR instalment of 2/. per share is required to obtain com-
plete registration with limited liabi ity; bRt should that or
the site not be obtained the deposit will bo returned to the
Shareholders, lees a sum not exceeding 3s. per share on ac-
count of expenses.

Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form,
addressed to the Brokers, Messrs. Helbert, Wagg, and Co.,
1, Shorter's-court, Throgmorton•street ; or Me sirs. Barnett,
Bilis, and Co., 18, Finch-lane ; or to the Secretary, 4, White-
hall; but no application will be considered unless a Deposit
of V. for.each Share is previously made with Messrs Coutts
and Co., 69, Strand ; or Messrs. Bareay, Bevan, Tritton, and
Co., Lombard-street, the ,Bankers of the Company. This,
Deposit will be carried to the creditt+ of the instalment of St:
per Share payable after allotment, and will be repaid hi the
event of the application not being acceded to ; and no further
call will be made until the agreements for the purchase of the
ilk have been settled.

, Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be
•btained of the Brokers or the Secretary.

SALMON PROPAGATION ON THE TAY.—The Edin-
burgh Courant say::—" The first of the ova de-
p.,ite.l in the breediy g boxes on the 22d of Novem-
ber, 1855, were hatched on the 3d of April, being 133
days from the tune of deposition, and to all appearance

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Messrs. Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica
Food has at length solved the problem which has kept the
learned and studious at cross purposes in all ages, from Hip-
pocrates to Abernethy. The authentic testimony of fifty
thousand known witnesses has proclaimed the joyful truth,
that in stages of dire disease, where medicine had totally
failed, the use of this preparation has restorA vigour, cheer-
fulness, ease of mind and body, and raised sufferers from a
condition in which death was longed for as a release from
lingering woe, to one in which life is not only prolonged, but
cherished, because enjoyed. We give a few Testimonials :
Cure No. 52,108.—" Maastricht, Holland, Aug. 7, 1854.
My daughter Virginie had long been consumptive, with diar-
rhoea and night sweats, and was in July last reduced
o such a state of prostration and exhaustion, that
our medical men agreed there was no hope of recovery
left, and that she could not survive many days. Upon
the recommendation of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Reva-
lenta Arabica, which, to the astonishment of all, caused an
immediate change far the better into the symptoms.
After the first few meals she felt less miserable, and in six
days the diarrhoea and night sweats had left her. She gained
strength gradually, and in 2 months' time was perfectly well.
This excellent remedy deserves to bo more generally known,
and I consider I am only discharging a most sacred duty in
recommending it to all sufferers —S. Zeguers." No. 42,130.

We will make Mr., Spooner this admission—that
in the abstract we are not ourselves greatly in love
with Maynooth, indeed we might lie brought so far
as to concede that the gtritiiitous instruction of the
clergi of say..itect doeienot seem.tio.ria among the.
ordinary functions of a State which respects the
liberty of conscience, and ddelines, in its corporate
capacity, to take any side in theological opinion.
Whatever may be the duty of the State with regard
toits poorest subjects, to whom the means of instruc-
tion are inaccessible, unless gratuitous, we see no
such call for it to take a part in the education of the
clergy. The clerical profession should, we appre-
hend, be treated like any other profession, aid, as
experience has shown that excellent lawyers, phy-
sicians, and engineers can be provided in any num-
ber at their own expense, so we believe that clergy-
men will also generally be found. But, in order that
men may be willing to bring up their children to
the Church, the Church must afford the prospect of
a decent and certain maintenance; and even some
prizes to fire the ambition of the aspiring Btu
dent. The zeal of Mr. Spooner and his associates
has withheld, and still continues to withhold, from
the Church which impersonates and teaches the
faith of the people of Ireland the power of holding
out those inducements which would lead prudent
parents possessed of the requisite funds to devote
them to the education of their children in her
Ministry. Who possessed of competence and intel-
ligence would desire for his child. the life of a Ro-
man Catholic priest in Ireland ? Enthusiasm might
induce a young man to choose such a life, and as-
ceticism to endure it when chosen ; but what
parent to whom any other choice was open would
condemn a son to a life so poor, so precarious,
and so miserable ? To satisfy the Protestant feel-,
ing.. of this country we insist upon maintaining a
Protestant eitablishment in Ireland, and because it
represents our belief we invest it with the Church
property of a nation whose belief it does not repre•
sent. The Church of England in Ireland has no
need of a Maynooth to educate her priests. Her
benefices, her dignities, and her bishoprics furnish
motive enough • to induce careful and far-sighted
parents to undertake, at their own cost and charge,
the education of their sons to so lucrative and
honourable a profession. Were these revenues
bestowed on the Church of Rome, in which the
Irish people do believe, instead of the Church of
Eugland, which they regard with abhorence, theTh)-
man Catholics would not be required to tight year by
year for this small pittance, doled out to them by Par-
liament with so grudging and niggardly a hand. Any
Roman Catholic gentleman would then be content to
brillg up ayounger son to the service of the Church of
which he was a member, and the people of Ireland
would have thebenefit not onlyof a devoted but a high-
ly educated priesthood, capable of taking and main-
tainine•° a position among the gentry of the country.
This, however, we will not suffer to be, and
therefore we leave the Roman Catholic clergy to
he recruited from the ranks of the peasantry and
small farmerS, to whom it is impossible, from their
limited resources, to provide their sons with the
requisite amount of instruction. The clergy of an
uneudowed Church iu a poor country 'must of
necessity be drawn from the poorer classes. What
Mr. Spooner proposes is that, as we will not en-
dow, neither should we educate. What persons
who argue in this way would do with the millions
of Roman Catholics in Ireland we really cannot
imagine. Wo have abandoned, nominally at least,
the uoctrine and discipline of persecution, and tire
and sword can no longer he called in to aid argu-
ment and persuasion. We proscribe the faith of
our fellow-subjects, hut, we, .dare.not proscribe our
fellow-subjects them elves. They must go on be-
lieving as their fathers have believed, and looking
to a priesthood of their own conviction as the one
only link that binds together earth and Heaven.
We will not maintain that priesthood which they
consider necessary to their well being here and
hereafter, but we have not been hitherto so unjust
as to deprive the Roman Catholics of Ireland of the
consolations of their religion altogether, and there-
fore
we gratuitously educate those whom we des-
tine to a life Lf poverty, privation, and a depend-
ence on the bounty of the very pour and the very
miserable.

The experiment of Maynooth has probably been,
upon the whole, as successful as the nature of the
Roman Catholic religion and the melancholy lot
of the Irish priesthood will allow any such experi-
ment to be. It has not filled Ireland with pro-
found scholars, but to what end should we seek to
make profound scholars of men whom we doom to
such a life as that of a Romish priest in a country
parish ? IL has not sent forth a clergy with the feel-
ings and associations of gentlemen, but a clergy
with the feelings and associations of gentlemen
would only feel more deeply the pinchings of po-
verty and more keenly the miseries of dependence.
Maynooth, however, has stood between the people
of Ireland and that total spiritual destitution with
which men who pretend to speak iu the name of
Christianity would have afflicted her, and it has
provided her with a peasant priesthood able to
sympathise with the feelings of her people, and to
give to a nation singularly susceptible of religious
influences those ordinances and that teaching ,
which, with whatever errors they may be alloyed,
maintain among them that spiritual life which has
so often comforted them in poverty, misery, and
despair. For these things any one who considers
what the Irish nation might have become if to all
its other misfortunes had been added the entire
want of religious sentiment will be grateful even to
the College of Maynooth, and will know how to
appreciate the majority in the House of Commons
who last night, as far as such a majority could,
decided that in future even the pale light of May-
nooth should be extingpis,hecl,..wi that 6,000,000
of our country, now happily reconciled to us, and
becoming as peaceable, as loyal, and industrious as
the people of Kent or Devon, should in future not
only have to snpport their own Church establish-
ment beside that of the Protestant minority, but
be deprived of the small assistance which those of
the dominant Church have hitherto given to them
in their joint struggle against spiritual ignorance
and moral degradation.

_ .
Mr. Spooner's motion for the withdrawal of the
Maynooth grant was last night carried in spite of
the most active exertions of the Government. In
no less than three successive divisions was the prin-
cipal of this motion affirmed.
A brief narrative of the events which marked
the debate will be instructive, and will probably
teach the people of England hat they have to ex-
pect from the often-vaunted Protestantism of the
Premier, and how completely Lord Palmerston—
notwithstanding his recent vote on Lord John
Russell's resolutions in reference to the religious
education of the youth of the empire—is prepared
to go any lengths with the Puseyites and voluntary
party, who so signalised themselves in the debate
we have referred to, provided he can procure from
them either an occasional support or that more
active co-operation which rumour positively asserts
is about to be afforded to him in the shape of a
second Peelite-Palmerston Coalition.
The first division taken last night was not upon
the direst question of the Maynooth grant, but
upon the amendment of Mr. Black, for the purpose
of including in the abolition of endowment other'
religious denominations in Ireland. This was, of
course, defeated ; the numbers being—for the
amendment 21, and against it 253 votes.
The second division—being the first which
directly declared the sense of the house on the
question of the grant—was taken upon the motion
that the house resolve itself into committee to con-
sider the 1114ynooth grant, with a view to its with.
drawal. On this question the opposition to the re
solution was led by Lord Palmerston, and sup-
ported by all the aid the Cioitenawegt Whips

Did this satisfy the beaten party ? No. They
were blinded by their defeat ; and although Mr.
James Macgregor protested against the tone of
levity adopted by the First Minister of the Crown
in his attempt to make a farce of the decisions of
the house ou such a question, a third division was
taken upon the motion for leave to bring in a bill
founded on the resolution. The Government
whips exerted themselves with a vigour success of
their cause—the number of members was increased ;
but their most factious opposition was again com-
pletely defeated in a house of 302 members—the
majority iu favour of Mr. Spooner's bill being 16.
These results speak for themselvei, and will, we
doubt not, be thoroughly appreciated by our
readers, more especially when they are aware that
this is the fourth defeat the Palmerston Govern-
ment has sustained within the last few days. On
Monday, the 7th inst., they were beaten on the
Scotch militia question ; on the 10th instant they
were defeated on the Shipping Dues Bill • on Fri-
day night they were worsted ou the Education
resolutions ; and last night, after a vigorous and
desperate, ecause factious, struggle, they were
beaten by Mr. Spooner ;in three successive divi-
sions.

Will a junction with Sir J. Graham, Mr. Her-
bert, and Mr. Gladstone save them ? It may be
tried ; but we believe that su•.:h a coalition could
nut hang together for a fortnight.

(From the Morning Herald of this day.)
We yesterday pointed out to our readers some
of the facilities " made and provided" by the nego-
tiators iu conference assembled, whereby Russia
might be enabled to replace at Nicolaieff the fleet
of Leavy first-m-43s now perishing under the teeth
of the teredo navalis, at the bottom tf the harbour
of Sebastopol, by a steam armament, more in uni-
son with the progress of -modern science, and more
appropriate to the future exigencies of her domi-
nation in the Black Sea. Moving a little round
the coast we come to another harbour and fort,
the arrangements connected with which appear to
us to be left in a state of, to Russia, most useful
uncertainty.' We allude, of course, to Anapa ;
and although what we are about to say we have
often said before, we shall not hesitate to repeat it.
Anapa must be considered the most important
point in the whole of the Euxine to be kept free
from Russian authority. Not only does it occupy
and control, in conjunction with Yenikale, the en-
trance to the Sea of Azoff, but it is practically the
key, not only of the Circassian country, but abso-
lutely that of the whole district to the south of the
Caucasus—Georgia, Imeritia, Nliugrelia' STc. By
means of the possession of this town and the Cri-
mea, the troops of the Czar are comparatively
easily transported from southern Russia to the en-
trance of the great pass of the Vladi Caueass—the
only practicable route from the Terek and Kuban
to the Kor and the Arras.

This road once blocked up, the only routes left
open fur access to the Transcaucasian provinces are
the dreary passage across the desert steppes between
the Don and the \Volga, or the vastly circuitous
voyage down the latter river and by the Caspian
Sea to Derbend and Baku—an addition of upwards
of five or six hundred miles to a journey already
toilsome and difficult i❑ the extreme.
The folly, or worse, of our conduct to the brave
Sofir Bey and his companions at Anapa, in refusing
to supply them with arms and ammunition, and
contumeliously rejecting the offer of aid made in
the name of 40,000 of the bravest soldiers in the
world, at a period when their assistance might have
made the difference of a compulsory retreat on the
part of the Russians from the north side of Sebas-
topol, has been already commented on, both by our
correspondents and ourselves.

Stili we should suggest to some member of the
house who really understands the importance of the
subject to ask for such papers as may exist, in order
to lay bare the yet concealed wickedness of those
obscure transactions. Our reason, however, for
calling attention to this .matter more especially at
the present moment is in order to tryand elucidate
a point of the most vital importance.
It was stated in the Journal des Debats, some
days ago, that the forts to the south of the Cauca-
sian range were to be destroyed (this must be an
error, fur the southern forts are those within the
Russian territory, ..A.kbalgek, (3,:c.), but that those
to the north were to be preserved.
Now, by an arrangement formerly put forward
all the forts on the Black Sea were doomed.

Be it now rent Irked that AnapaisineTuded by
position in boll' agreements. It is a fort on the
north of the range, and as such to be preamwed ;
while it is, as a tort on the Black Sea, to be de-
stroyed. We therefore deinand a simple answer to
a sirnp!c quesrion—lu which geographical denomi-
nation is the important fortress in question to be
considered? In one word, is it to be preserved for
Russian purposes, or abandoned and blown up, to
prevent its being a "permanent menace" to Cir-
cassia ?

( From the Times of this day.)
It is certainly not our duty to act as private
advisers to the Corporation .of the city of heidou,
yet we can scarcely refrain from expressing surprise
at the manner in which the Bill for the 11,:tforrn of
the Corporation has been received in the City.
Beyond the charmed limits of the civic boundaries
the present Administration is charged only with
tru,:kling to civic influences, and with sanctioning
a compromise most adverse to the public interest
Loud as the exclamations are, however, ag,cinst
the Government bill without ie walls on account
of its over-lenity, within the walls the tempest of
opposition rages with still greater fury. Intra
muros bellatur et extra—the public is bought and
sold, and so is the City. The opinions of those
who represent the public have been so long, so
loudly, and so generally expressed, that it would
be idle to refer to them ; but if any of our readers
will bo at the pains of turning to a report which
we publish this day they will find that the citizens
are even more opposed to the measure than the
Londoners. There was a meeting held yesterday
afternoon in the Goildl, all. to take the measure
into consideration, and first Mr. J. Lawrence
stepped forth to denounce it as " one of the vilest
character." Here was an attempt to establish
centralisation—here was a lifting up of the flood-
gates and a letting in of the waters—here was an
extinction of local self-government. Was it not
dreadful and heartrending to reflect that the privi-
leges of centuries were about to be swept away in
such a ruthless manner? Where would itallend ? The
prescient eye of Mr. Lawrence foresavr the time
when the whole property of the corporation would
be confiscated; and the citizens be mulcted in a
' county-rate of, let us say, 3s. it, the pound. Dread-
ful indeed—most dreadful ! Nor did the worthy
speaker rely only upon abstract reasoning. He
called the attention of his fellow-citizens to the at-
temptedg
in the Local shipping tyranny Dues Bill.
Let the citizens of London reflect upon the vile
attempt which has recently been made against the
privileges of their brethren at Liverpool, and they
may have a foretaste of their own impending fate.
The end of all this was a resolution—a fierce reso-
lution indeed. The Houso of Commons is to be
informed, through the agency of Mr. Mas'erman,
that the Common hall is in no humour for trifling.
The livery will not be ignored ; its privileges shall
not be destroyed ; its municipal existence shall not
be extinguished ; the ancient rights, privileges, and
properties of the Corporation shall not be subverted;
in a word, the Government bill shall not pass, or,
if it does, the Corporation will know the reason
why.
So far all went well enough. There is nothing
so easy as piping to those who are willing to dance,
but when Mr. Bennoch rose to address the assem-
bly in another sense the Livery showed that it
could hoot as well as cheer. While he enlarged
upon the sins of the Corporation against the Livery
there were hisses and great uproar ; when he spoke
of the extravagance in the administration of the
City funds there were more hisses, and still greatOr
uproar. " The population of the City," said this
gentleman, "is about 128,000, and the revenne is
about 400,0001., and yet 114,0001. is spent in ad-
- ministering that sum. (Confusion and uproar.) In
Liverpool t4O 13°SlatiQ4 is 3763000,
