pliextion, and an authorisation must be demanded. But,
as the President of the, Council of State declared in the
name of the Government at a late sitting of the legisla-
tive body, you must, in deciding on such demands, give
the greatest latitude to every citizen. You will not for-
get that the prohibition must be rAro and exceptional,
and founded on the danger of public outrage and distur-
bance, and must never be an indirect favour for the bene-
fit of a candidateship which may be preferred. These
rules, Monsieur le Prefet, are simple, and secure the
fullest liberty to universal suffrage. he will of the Em-
peror is, that it shall be practised in good faith.—Ac-

SPORTING NOTES.

FROM NE WAIARKET.

Not a scrap of trustworthy. information is to be picked
up. Opinions on the Two Thousand are divided.
Some people say that Yellow Jack can't lose, some that
Porto Rico's success is a certainty, and others that Faz
zoletto will come in alone. Be those contradictory
statements as they may, and, notwithstanding the de-
termined opposition which the horse has encountered,
I am fully prepared to see either
YELLOW JACK or MILTON
the winner. The latter has not broken down, and people
who have seen him entertain a good opinion of his
chance. I can't "stand " John Seott's huge overgrown
dromedary of a horse; still the animal has a host of ad;
mirers.

A refreshing rain has fallen, and the turf is in splendid
condition. The town ig, however, very dull, and down
to my present writing few visitors have arrived.

I am perforce obliged to cat my communication short,
because an accident has compelled me to delay writing
until within a very few minutes of the time when my
parcel must be despatched.

doubtedly entitled him to a brief memoir. Instead of a
record in some proportion to hi; claims, four volumes of
a !sulky life, for which a Mr. John Holland is chiefly
responsible, though it bears a second name upon the
title-page, have already appeared, and two more at least
are yet to come. So gigantic a monument to a person
of no particular eminence provokes ridicule of itself,
and the sentiment becomes cne of disgust when the long-
drawn narrative is found mainly to consist of verbose,
pompous, dreary inanities. The poet speaks for himself
in his works, but the man, to his lasting injury, is judged
by the medium through which he is seen, which is that
~f his feeble and incapable biographer."
Mr. Wood Waller fares rather worse, however,
we cannot but think, altogether, than even Mr.
John Holland--and, alas ! deservedly. He is, in
fact, loudly and haughtily denounced by the Quar-
terly Reviewer as a writer who "has not the art of
expressing himself with clearness"—as a writer
afflicted with " utter incompetency for this or any
other literary undertaking"—as a writer with "a
total want of the most ordinary perspicacity"—as
a writer affording us at one moment a " ludicrous
exhibition of hopeless nonsense"—aud at another
preserving for us what if not " rejected for its pro-
fanity" ought at any rate to hare been "suppressed
for its dullness !" So much for the latest number
of the Quarterly, with its cordial reprobation of
the " solemn silliness" of the Vicar of Tarring—
and Feathering !

MEETING OF MINIS PERIALISTS.

Lord Palmerston on Saturday summoned a meeting
of his adherents and of those who give him a qualified
support in the House of Commons, for the purpose of
discussing the course to be pursued this evening on the
motion of Mr. Whiteside relative to the fall. of Kars.
The meeting accordingly took place this day at one
o'clock, at the residence of the noble viscount in Picca-
dilly, and w.;,s very numerous: y attended.
In the event of the motion being carried, it is expected
that the noble viscount will either dissolve the present
Parliament or resign—the former being the most likely
course to be adopted. The proceedings were strictly
private.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, April 6.—The following authentic in-
formation relative to the re-organisation of the
Danubian Principalities has been obtained. The
Moldavo-VVallachian question is not definitively
settled by the Treaty of Peace signed on the 30th
of March, but the " parties that have made peace"
have agreed to send a commission into the two
Principalities. On its arrival the commission will
proceed to form two general Divans ; the one
for Wallachia, and the other for Moldavia,
whose members are to be elected by the people.
As soon as the Divans are duly formed they
will proceed to draw up new organic statutes,
and propose such reforms as may appear requisite
and desirable. When the project of the national
Divans is completed it will be sent to Constanti-
nople, and after having been revised by the repre-
sentatives of the Powers, the new constitution will
be granted to the Principalities by their Suzerain,
the Sultana. It is not probable that Moldavia and
Wallachia will be united, but one of the duties of
the Commission will be to learn the wishes of the
people on the subject. After the internal affairs of
the Principalities have been definitively settled,
and the new institutions established, Hospodars,
natives of the Danubian Principalities, will be
elected.

NATIONAL STANDARD THEATRE.

The experiment of reviving the " legitimate " drama
in the east, which was commenced at this theatre in the
holyday week, has proved eminently successful.
The last revival is that of "Antony and Cleopatra," a
in which Miss Glyn sustains the part of the heroine
with her usual ability and success. Marc Antony is ex-
ceedingly well played by Mr. Marston, who represents
with great force a gallant, genial nature, certain that he
is on the road to destruction, and recklessly, not blindly,
adhering to the fatal path.
The mise en scene of the piece is highly creditable to
the manager, Mr: Douglas ; indeed such hieroglyph.
spangled decorations would, 30 years ago, have been
looked upon as archeological marvels at theatres of
much prouder pretensions than the National Standard.

A prospectus has been issued of the Metropolitan
Field Bleaching, Washing, and Scouring Company,
with a capital of 30,000/. in 101. shares.
The prospectus has been issued of the North and
South ►'Vales Steam Fuel Company, with a capital of
30,0001. in 101. shares. the object is to carry on and
extend certain works already in operation near Liver-
pool for the manufacture of a patent fuel which has re-
ceived the approval of the Admiralty.
PEOPLE'S PARK AT HALIFAX.—A piece of land at
Halifax has recently been purchased for a people's park
by Frank Crossley, Esq., M.P. for the borough. The
land is in a very pleasant situation, near the mansion of
Mr. Crossley, and not very far from a number of alms-
houses now being erected by the hon. gentleman. The
park is to be laid out from designs to be furnished by
Sir J. Paxton.

CORPORATION REFORM.—A meeting of the inhabi-
tants of Coleman-street Ward was held yesterday, under
the presidency of Mr. Alderman Hunter. when a series
of resolutions were agreed to against the Government
bill for the reform of the City of London.
THE LATE GALES tN -THE BLACK SEA.—CONSTANTI-
NorLE, March 27.—Heavy gales of wind at N.E. blew
at Kertch, between the 14th and 19th of March, bringing
down large masses of floating ice from the Azoff, during
which several losses occurred, and much damage was
done to the shipping. The Esk(s), Capt. Champion, got
imbedded in the ice, and was subsequently driven on
shore in St. Paul's Bay, and wrecked ; materials ex-
pected to be saved. A French frigate was driven on
shore, and much damaged. A French sailing vessel went
down at sea near Kertch ; crew saved. The King Philip
had her bows cut through by the ice, and had to throw
cargo (wood) overboard to save lives and ship. The Un-
derwood had her bows cut through by the ice, and was
driven out to sea. The Balaklava bad her rudder
damaged, and sustained other injuries. The Williams,
store-ship, sustained damage in her bows, &c.
Dauntless sustained damage in her bows, &c. Several
French steamers sustained much damage..., The Henry
Holman lost her rudder, and sustained other injuries.
NO lives have been lost.

THE SCOTCH JUDGES.

Lord CAMPBELL said that two of the Scotch judges
—the Lord Justice General and the Lord Justice-Clerk
—had been summoned to give evidence in a commit-
tee of their lordships' house now sitting upon the
appellate jurisdiction of the house of Lords, and be
wished to know where the oath was to be administered
to those learned judges. The English judges were sworn
on such occasions at the woolsack, but he was much
afraid, unless a special motion was made for the occasion,
the Scotch judges would be sworn in Westminster-hall.
Re wished, therefore, to move that the Lord Juetiee-
General and the Lord Justice-Clerk be sworn at the
woolsack.

Lord REDESDALE said the Scotch judges were not
:iable to be called to that house as the English judges
were, and he thought the oath should be administered
in the usual manner.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Scotch
judges could be sworn nt the woolsack without any vio•
lation of the forms of the house.

The Earl of EGLINTON could see no difference
between the English and Scotch judges, and, therefore,
he thought they should be sworn in precisely the same
way in which these learned judges were.
Lord MONTEAGLE hoped that whatever rule was
adopted, it would be made applicable to the Irish
judges. (Laughter.)
The motion was agreed O.

THE CORPORATION REFORM RILL.

On Tuesday a Court of Aldermen was held, the doors of
which were closed. The following resolution, to which
the committee of the Court of Common Council agreed
on Monday, was, we understand, introduced to the
Court and adopted with the unanimous approbation of
the aldermen :
" The Right Hon. Sir George Gray, her Majesty's
Secretary of State for the Home Department, in intro-
ducing a bill into Parliament affecting the Corporation
of this City, declared that, from the great antiquity of
the corporation, its immemorial connection with the
City, its historical association, and from the service it
has rendered at various periods to the cause of civil and
religious liberty, and of constitutional government, the
Corporation of the City of London is entitled to be
treated with all possible respect and consideration.
"The Commissioners also, who had under her Ma-
jesty's commission investigated the state of the corpora-
tion, reported that they had found the utmost readiness
in all quarters to assist them in the execution of their
commission, as well by the governing members of the
corporation as by their officers, and added that they had
found nothing which could affect injuriously the honour
and integrity of the officers to whom the affairs of the
great corporation had been confided.
"That with respect to the constitution of the Corpo•
ration of London, an important distinction existed
between that corporation and the other municipal bodies
before they were reformed. The most striking defect in
them was that they existed independently of the commu-
nities amongst which they were found, and is most plat s
all identity of interest between the corporation and its
inhabitants had disappeared. From this defect the Cor-
poration of London had been for many years exempt.
The manner in which the Common Council is elected
having produced to a great extent an identity of interests
between the governing municipal body and the exist'ng
municipal community ; and having secured to the latter
a council representing their general opinions and feilingp,
and so distinguishing the Corporation of London from
the close corporations which then prevailed throughout
the country. Receiving, therefore, with satisfaction
these expressions as to the integrity and honour of the
proceedings of this corporation, this committee sees
with much surprise that a hill has been brought in, not
restraining itself, as suggested, to the amendments
which were assumed to be necessary, but contaioing
wide and sweeping provisions, injuriously and unneces-
sarily affecting the ancient rights and privi!eges of the
citizens of Loielon.
The subject will, it is expected, undergo discussion in
the Court of Common Council on Friday next.
London, England, 1856-04-10

ADELPHI THEATRE.

Last night a new two•act drama, entitled "Like and
Unlike," was produced here. The plot of the drama is
exceedingly simple, and turns upon the exact similitude
of two sisters, one a sen.rpstre-ae' and the pattern of
modesty and simplicity ; the other a courtesan and
opera dancer. Mr. Harry Mowbray, a Yorkshire squire,
becomes acquainted with the French sempstress, pro-
poses and is accepted, but at the same time the danseuse
Fiorette is exciting a sensation on the stage, and her
Jikeness to Lisette, the sempstress, is great, that Mr.
Peter Potter, a Manchester cotton spinner, who had
dangled after Florette for months, declares Lisette to be
the danseuse, as does a dandy fied coasin of Mowbray's.
All this works on Mowbray's mind, who, on
the day intended for the marriage, convinced that
Lisette is no other than the danseuse, repudiates
the engagement. Iu the next act Florette ap.
pears ; she has by this lime become the wife of a
German count. She turns out to be the sister of
Lisette, which la,t encounters Mowbray in her sister's
house, when the mistake is kept up, until by the vio-
lence of Mowbray Florette faints away, and Lisette
enters to clear her character. The two being together
under Mowbray's eyes, the mistake is cleared up, and
the pair made happy.
The parts of Lisette and Florette are both sustained
by Madame Celeste, and aff rrds her ample scope to die.
play those great ilities that she is acknowleged by
all to possess. Her changes from the different cha-
racters were remarkable, and elicited immense applause.
Mr. Webster, as Harry Mowbray, acquitted himself
to the admiration of the audience; and his portraiture
of the maddened lover was both natural and touching.
The other parts were capitally supported by Wright,
Paul Bedford, and Selby. The piece, which turned out
a regular Adelphi hit, will attract all London to the
theatre.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sru,—l was not aware that soldiers were billetted on
private families until reading the papers of this day.
What particularly struck soy attention was what Mr.
Ellice said about what he called " little grievances."
Place a soldier in the midst of his family, and we should
then see whether he would really feel it to be a " little
grievance." The remarks of Lord Palmerston were also
worth attending to. According to him it would take
more than a year to abate the nuisance. I would ad-
vise my. Lord to remember the canduct of the House of
Commons a short time since, when the question was to
give the Gin and Beer people one hour more on Sunday
evening. That matter was considered so important that,
although the house had within a few days closed its
business, an act was framed and carried through both.
Houses, and became the law of the land in a few dap.
And so it would in the present case of billetting were
one or two of these little grievances placed within the
circle of my Lord Palmerstou's family, and those of the
homes of members of the House of Commons.—l am, &c.,

CROSSED CHECKS.

The bill regarding crossed checks, in the futile
form to which it has been reduced by a Govern-
ment "amendment," has just been rrinted. It
SimPlY provides that crossed checks must pass
through some banker—a custom already enforced
in harmony with the opinion of the judges, and
consequently requiring no legislation to insure its
continuance. The evils intended to be met by the
bill as it originally stood are to be left untouched,
and the public must therefore still bear in mind,
for their own security, that the crossing of checks
with a banker's name will afford them no reliable
protection against dishonesty cr carelessness on the
part of those to whom such checks may be intrusted.

FIRE IN HOLLAND sTßEET.—Yesterday evening a fire
broke out on the premises of Messrs. Davall and Co.,
bacon dressers, 61, Holland-street, Blackfriars-road.
Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock contained
in the warehouse, a considerable amount of damage was
'nflicted before the flames could be subdued. The cause
,f the fire is not known. The loss is covered by an in-
iurauce.

SECOND READINGS.

On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the Knottingly
Gas, the Lonion Docks, the Colonial Bank, and Da w•
son's Estate Bills were severally read a second time.

ST. JAMES'S PARK.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE rose to move that a
message be sent to the House of Commons, requesting
them to communicate to this house the report of the se-
lect committee upon St. James's-park ; and to ask if her
Majesty's Government had come to any decision
upon the adoption of the recommendations contained
in that repor'. The noble marquis then referred to
the proposed alterations that were to take place,
and expressed an objection to the removal of the
York column, which removal would materially affect
the value of the houses in Carlton-house-terrace
and other places in the neighbourhood. He then pro-
ceeded to pass a high eulogium on the late Duke of York,
who for a period of 32 years had performed the most
signal services to this country, and expressed an opinion
that such a removal in effect would be treating hie memory
with the greatest disrespect. When public monuments
were erected to perpetuate the memory of distinguished
persons he did not think they ought to be moved about
like lamp-posts. The aJvantage to be gained by the pro
posed alterations were infinitessimal, while the cost and
inconvenience that they would occasion were enormous.
He hoped that no such extravagant and ridiculous out-
lay would be made, and that the report would be re-
scinded.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no objPetion to

the motion of the noble marquis. No determination
had been c ,me
.to by her Majesty's Government in re-
spect to the alteration ,!,ugested by a committee of the
House of Commons. He concurred in the opinion that
the proposed alterations particularly that respecting the
removal of the Duke of York's Column, were of too seri-
ous a character to be hastily acted upon, but would
receive the serious consideration of the Government.

Tue Earl of ABERDEEN concurred in the opinion
of the noble marquis who had just sat down. He felt
greatly pleased to hear that no positive determination
had been made on the subject by the Government.

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1856.

Peace has bean officially recognised -both at
home and abroad. The naval blockade haa been
raised. Russia has authorised the admission of
the vessels of the. Western Power's to her portS,
.•
and has removed the prohibition on the expor-
tation of corn—while orders in Council have keen
published, Permitting the clearing and departure of
vessels for .Russian ports, and allowing the expor-
tationOf.the various articles comprehended within
the designation of materiel of war. And all this
time the Parliament and People of, the United,
Kingdom - are kept profoundly ignorant of the
terms and conditions of the Treaty. They mu: t,
forsooth, await its formal ratification before the.

slightest information can be doled forth. This
is inanifestly a.-deliberate and wanton insult. I.
is intended as an intimation tint neither of the
•
hereditary branches of the Legislature have any
thing to dOwith the 'questions of PeaCepr War,
beyond Vain with cheerful and, unhesitating
readiness the sums demanded by or.on behalf of
. ,
the Eiecntive. They are required to acknowledge:
the Royal Prerogative to an extent fully equal 't-
what was demanded in•the days of .the l'uncon.s :
and tO:An4 that, it; these matters' at leait,
thereaiN,po- limitation to the -power of the British
Monarchy, but'that it is to al/ intents and pur
poses as -absolute aS the de,:potie sovereignties of
the Continent.
And yet no -representative has pro-
tested against this anomalous state of affairs—
has demanded even, the recognition of his order,
or an official intimation of the, cessation of_ hof-
tilities. If peace' is placed beyoud,the possibility
of doubt, a message to that effent;stating the
term; should have been forthwith communicated
to both Houses ! If not, the prohibitions against
the exportation of the contraband of war should
not be removed. Ministers are thus placed in a di-
lemma,on one born or the other of which they must
be tossed, but still the members of both branches
of the Legislature' are contented to hug their '
collars, and to consent to the abdication of their
constitutional functions, in pursuance of the
highly-prized Gefman models ! We confess that
we had anticipated a greater :display_ of in-
dependence on the part of our: rcpresen-
tativei--had hoped that the coltjectilriaAle
precedent' could not have been =establish d
some appearance of-opposition. We fancy
that the several cOnstituer cies will participate'
in these opinions, and --feel that those whom they
have elevated.L.tolionourabt!e positions have not
adequately defended the privileges that should be
attached thereto.

Nor i 3 it 107'ciallif only, that the symptoms of
peace are already manifested. Not only are we
to send our sterling gold:—on the possession
whereof so much depends, under the existing
monetary code--in exchange for Russian pro-
duce, but we aro to raise capital for the

LAW OF PARTNERSHIP.

Mr. Lowe's new bill on the law of partnership
has been printed to-day. It is unclogged by any
of those restrictive attempts to " protect" the in-
terests of creditors which, by discouraging the
exercise of vigilance, could operate only as a sti-
mulant to fraud and litigation, and comprises
simply the following provisions, giving freedom to
the public to lend money upon such terms as bor-
rower and lender may mutually deem expedient :
"Whereas it is expedient to amend the law relating
to partnership : be it therefore enacted a, follows :
"1. This act shall not apply to the bu,iness of a hanker.

"2. The term trader's.hi.ill include any person, part-
nership, company, or body corporate carrying on any
trade, business, or undertaking.
"3. No person nv,king -a loan to any trader shall be
deemed to be a partner of, or to be subject to any liabi-
lities incurred by, such trader by reason only that he
receives as a compensation for such loan a portion of the
profits made in any bu-iness carried on by such trader.
" 4. No person, being an agent or servant or person
in the employ cf any trader, shall be deemed to be a
partner of, or to be subject to any liabilities incurred
by, such trader by reason only that he receives as a re-
muneration for his services as such agent or servant a
portion of the profits made in any business carried on
by such trader.
"5. No person receiving by way of annuity or other-
wise any portion of the profits made by any trader in
his business shall by rea,on only of ouch receipt be
deemed to be a partner of, or to be subject to any
incurred by, such trader."
