"GERMAN PASTE."

Our English glory is confirmed, our triumph ratified,
A little English gold has gone—a few brave men have died ;
But " Articles of Peace " are signed, and form a painted ca;e.
Where, like tlto "Happy Family," all nations lose their rage.

'Tis curious to watch the "Bear" bow down with courtly stoop,
And let the gallant eagle strut around him " cock-a-whoop ; "
'Tisstrango to see the Lion stretched, like lamb ou flowery plain,
While Russian Rat •,s and Austrian Cats are playing with his mane,

'Tis whispered tht re's a secret in the mixture of their food,

Some potent chart, a that cunningly affects their real blood ;
And shrewd men h: we suspicion that the " secret" is a taste
Of that mysterious e( )ndiment well known as "German Paste. '

So satisfyin,?; does it , Drove, so soon it yields onou;h,

It seems a pity that o nr "stores" ail not contain tht3 stuff;
That English man and English steeds, on Baleklava's waste,
Could not havellad thei rlives saved by a little "German Paste."

Perhaps John Bull may ask to know how this same etuffis made,
Perhaps he'll find that this same stuff affords a Royal trade.
Perhaps at last his ge swine and honest roast•beef taste

Will" stop supplies" for bills of fare made up of "Germ au Paste."

THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 4.
By the Peninsularand Oriental Company's steam-
ship Madrid, Capt. Bradshaw, with the Peninsular
mails, in charge of Lieut. Irwin, R.N., Admiralty
agent, we have dates from Gibraltar, April 23 ;
Cadiz, 24 ; Lisbon, 29 ; Oporto 30 ; Vigo, May 1.
The Madrid brings 25 passengers, and on freight
16 packages of species, valued at 4,7321., and a
cargo consisting of 436 boxes of oranges, 45 boxes
of potatoes, 3 casks and 3 cases of wine, 12 casks
and 136 boxes-of dates, and 11 packages of general
merchandise.
During the homeward voyage the Madrid expe-
rienced westerly and north and south-westerly
winds to Vigo, with thick, rainy weather ; from
Vigo strong easterly winds and clear. She spoke,
on the 24th ult., the schooner Monarch ; May 2,
in lat. 45.48 north, long 7.47 west, exchanged
colours with the barque Truro, steering north-east.
The Madrid left at Lisbon, on the 28th ult., the
Greek war steamer Reine de Grece. The steam-
yacht New Quarterly, H. Last, had put into the
Tagus from stress of weather on the 26th.
The Liverpool screw-steamer Minho had not ar-
rived at Lisbon when the Madrid sailed. Great
anxiety was felt at that port for her safety. A
steam-vessel under canvass was passed by the
Madrid shortly after leaving Lisbon, and appeared
to be either the missing ship or the steamer Rat-
tler, belonging to the same company. She was
under canvas only.
The exchanges, this packet, for bills at three
months are quoted :—London, .cifi to 54411 Paris,
-520 to 518 ; Amsterdam, 43 is: ; Hamburg, 49g ;
and Genoa, 17. On London paper was scarce at

money was scarce ; on Hamburg a little was done,
while the rest were nominal.

.RELIGIoUS LIBERTY.

The following is the reply of the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs to a memorial agreed to in Paris on
September 3, 1855. by persons belonging to several
nations, end to almost ev.ry Protestant denomination
in Europe and America, re-•pectfully be=eeching his
Majesty, in concert with her Majesty the Queen of
England and other Christian Powers, to use his info•
ence with the Government of Turkey that It might
establish reliuious librry in the States under its juris-
diction in favour of all the subjects of that vast empire
without nistinctinn :
" Ministry of Foreign Affairs.—Political Direction,

" Paris, April 25.
"Sir,—The Emperor has given orders to refer to me the
petition which you addre-sed to his Majesty in the name of
the Society of the Friends of Religious Liberty (the Evan-
gelical Conference of Paris, 1855), and I have taken into
serious consideration the observations which it contains.
"The Government of the Emperor has always exerted
itself to cause those principles to prevail. Already, by
the Hatt-Flntnayoun of February the 19th, his Highness
the Sultanhas proclaimed in thaOttoman empire the liberty
of all religious faiths ; and the Government of the Empe-
ror will not fail to do whatever shall he in its power to in-
sure the execution of those generous dispositions.
" Receive, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished con-
sideration, " A. WALEWSKI.

"Sir Culling Eardley, Bart."
The meeting at which this memorial was agreed to
was presided over by Sir Culling Eardley, Bart., chair-
man of the Evangelical Alliance, who has just received
the foregoing answer. The a'ldress was replied to in
decided terms by the Soverigns of England, Holland,
and Prussia in the mouths of September, October, and
December respectively.
"The reply of the French Minister, although delayed
several months," Sir Culling says, "possesses peculiar
importance, from the present circumstances of France.
The Minister of Worship, M. Fontotil, notified on
Monday to the French Protestants through one of their
body, that the decree of the 25th of March, 1852, inter-
fering with religious meetings, is annulled in regard to
the commune of Thiat, in the department of the Haute
Vienne. It is expected that the measure will apply to
the whole empire, and that the sentences of imprison-
ment procounctd against several persons will be at once
cancelled. This reply of Count Walewski justifies that
expectation."
London, England, 1856-05-05

So satisfying does it prove, so soon it yields enough,

It seems a pity that our "stores" did not; contain the stuff;
That Englishman and English stoat's, on B ►laklava's waste,
Could not have had theirlives saved bya little "Gerutan Paste."

Perhaps John Ball mayask to know how this same stuffis made,
Perhaps he'll find that tkis same stn affords a Royal trade.
Perhaps at last hie genuine and honest roast-beef taste

Will"etop supplios" for bills of farema.do up of"Gorman Paste."

the Hatt-Humaymin of February the 19th, his Highness
the Sultan has proclaimed inthe Ottouaan empire the liberty
of all religious Lillis ; and the Government of the Empe-
ror will not fail to do whatever shall be in its power to in-
sure the execution of those generous dispositions. .
" Receive, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished con-
sideration, " WALEWSKI.

Sir Culling Eardley, Bart."
The meeting at which this memorial was agreed to
was presided:over by Sir Culling Eardley, Bart., chair-
man of the Evangelical Alliance, who has just received
the foregoing answer. The address was replied to in
decided terms by the Soverigns of England, Holland,
and Prussia in the months of September, October, and
December respectively.
"The reply of the French Minister, although delayed
several months," Sir Culling says, "possesses peculiar
importance, from the present circumstances of France.
The Minister of Worship, M. Fontoul, notified on
Monday to the French Protestants through one of their
body, that the decree of the 25th of March, 1852, inter-
fering with religious meetings, is annulled in regard to
the commune of Thiat, in the department of the Hatite
Vienne. It is expected that the measure will apply to
the whole empire, and that the sentences of imprison-
ment pronounced against several persons will be at once
cancelled. This reply of Count Walewski justifies that
expectation."
