"GERMAN PASTE."

Oar English glory is confirmed, our triumph ratified,
A little English gala has gone—a few brave men have died ;
But "Articles of Peace " are signed, and form a painted ease.
Where, like the "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 "
'Tisst range to see the Lion stl•etclied, like lamb on flowery plain,
While Russian Rats and Austrian Cats are playing with his mane,

'Tic w'Sispered there's a secret in the mixture of their food,

Some potent olisrm that cunningly affects their real blood ;
And sbxewd men have suspicion that the " secret" is a taste
Of that mysterious condiment well known as "German Paste. '

So satisi"ying does it prove, so soon it yields onougb,
It seems. 14 pity that our "stores" did not contain the stuff;
That Er ,glish men awl English steeds, on Balaklava's waste,
Could r, )t have had theirlives saved by a little "German Paste."

Perhaps'John Bull ina'y ask to kaow how this same stuffis made,
Perhap a he'll find that tkis same stuff affords a Royal trade.
Perhapl at last his genuine and honest roast•beef taste
Will"Ertop supplies" for bills of faro made up of "German Paste."

ARRIVAL OF BARON BRUNOW.

DOVER, FRIDAY.
Baron Brunow arrived at Dover from Calais

this morning, at 9 o'clock.

His Excellency, who is staying at the Ship
Hotel, will proceed to town by the 12 o'clock

train.

Our letter from Paris, dated yesterday evening,
had not arrived when our afternoon edition went
to press.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, APRIL 30.
The Staats Anzeiger, of last night, published the
text df the treaty of peace.
We have received further telegraphic informa-
tion to-day of a fresh outbreak having taken placa
at Nablous on the 15th, in repetition of what had
already occurred there on the 4th. It is stated
that the energetic conduct of the Pasha and of the
consuls in Jerusalem, to whom applications for
assistance had been made, had succeeded iu quel-
ling the disturbance ; on this occasion one life only
has been lost.

The Russian Minister here gives a grand dinner
to-day in honour of the birthday of his Imperial
master, the proper anniversary of which, however,
fell yesterday, and was dulykeptat Charlottenburg.
All the ministers, the corps diplomatique, the supe-
rior officers of the Court and the army, and the
commander of the 3d Regiment of Hussars
(of which the Emperor is Colonel), are to be pre-
sent. Almost the whole personnel of the Russian
Embassy has been changed of late ; all the former
members, with the exception of the Minister him-
self, have received other appointments, and it is
expected that Baron Budberg will also, ere long,
be appointed to Vienna. The Empress Mother is
expected here in the middle of May to stay for a
fortnight in Potsdam, and then repair to Stutt-
gard and Wildbad.
Count Munster, who has been absent from his
post as Prussian military attaché at St. Petersburg
during the past winter, has lately returned thither.
On the 23d inst. he passed through Warsaw on his
way back.
About a week back Memel was at length visited
again by a Russian ',team frigate, a sight the
Memelers had not seen for some while. The Rus-
sian determined to draw ample attention to the
fact of the flag's re-appearing off that coast by
saluting the town iu due style.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.

(This Day.)

Yesterday her Majesty, according to annual cus-
tom, honoured the Royal Academy with a visit, for
the purpose of inspecting the collection of paintings
displayed upon the walls of the three principal
apartments. Today we had the satisfaction of
attending the " private view," and of there and
then sauntering round the gallery, catalogue in
hand, noting whatever appeared to our judgment
most notable in this Exhibition for 1856, the eighty-
eighth since the date of the Academy's inauguration.
To-morrow the yearly May dinner will be given to
her Majesty's Ministers and other guests of note,
with the President, Sir Charles Eastlake, as chair-
man. And—the aroma of the banquet having
evaporated during the intervening Sundaythe
public will be admitted as usual on the morning of
the first Monday in the vernal month of flowers,
to a less substantial feast than the one now in pre-
paration for our administrators and acade-
micians, and yet one withal worthy of gratifying
the fastidious taste of a more intellectual gourmand
than Lucullus. More anon, w? shall (be sure of
that) have to say of the present season's collection
in detail. At present we can only speak of it
cursorily in generalities. Among those who do
not exhibit this year, are artists of no less import-
ance than Mulready, and Maclise, and Egg, and
Eastlake. Among the exhibitors, the one who
disappoints us most of all, perhaps, is the young
artist who gave such large promise last spring, by his
limning of the artistic procession, a picture, it will
be remembered, which was immediately purchased

by the Sovereign. Ward delights us with another
gliriipse of the Great French Revolution. Landseer
has another wonderful painting of a Ne wbundland
Dog, dedicated to the Reyal Humane Society.
Sant almost equals his exquisite S Linuels by his
lovely portraits of two of the very beautiful chil-
dren of his Grace the Duke of Argyll. S tan-
that portrays with as magic a pencil as
ever the hull of, a nameless ship weltering
upon the rolling waves, far away at sea, a picture
called " The Abandonut." Millais celebrates the
abominable peace in a manner many will consider
hardly less abominable, namely, that, of course,
of those astonishing retrograding-innovators the
Pr, -Raphaelites. L'Enfant da Regiment, from
the hand of the same youthful genius, appears,
however, to our mind, a picture in its way perfectly
exquisite. Hunt, who is second only to Millais,
astounds every visitor to the gtllery with his parti
coloured painting of the " Scapegoat," a production
some laugh at, while others stand before it lost in
admiration. Webster contributes a thoroughly Eng-
lish picture—a picture as truly national, and,
let us add too, as marvellously natural as any of Ho-
garth's—in his masterly cot.age interior illustra-
tive of the dear old gains of childhood, " Hide
and Seek." Everybody who looks at it smiles
upon it a panegyric better than any worth could
possibly pronounce. Young O'Neill, with his
view of " Market Day," gives larger promises
than ever of following, not unworthily, in the
footsteps of Wilkie—and reveals, we cannot but
think,very remarkable powers indeed as a humorist.
Lance, too, in a lower walk of art—what a fruit
piece he feasts our eyes with—a painting calculated
if possible to extend rather than merely to
sustain his unique reputatiou. Linnell's pastoral
version of " Summer Crops"—Solomon's laughing
group of "Doubtful Fortune,"—Boddington's de-
licious little peep of a "Bright Day on tte
Thames"—Robert's wonderful interior of " St.
Peter's on Christmas Day"—R:dgrave's green
forest vista trodden:by "Little Rel Riding Hood'
—Uwina's " Gleaners leaving the Stubble Field"—
Poole's " Conspirators," Goodall's " Crammer,"
and Frost's " Graces"—such are among a few of
the other picture's appearing to us, on our first
visit, to be especially noteworthy. As for portraits,
the rooms are, as usual, hung with them in profu-
sion. But, then, we can hardly find it in our heart
toquarrel with their multiplicity, remembering how
many of them are invested, by mere association,
with peculiar interest! Are there not among those
portraits—life-like effigies of such men of mark as
Charles Dickens, and Thomas Carlyle, and Richar d
Owen, and Samuel Warren, and Austin Layard,
and other living celebrities, in science, philo-
sophy and literature ? Enough, however, in
this hurried survey of the Gallery immediately
after our return from the Private view of it during
the course of this present afternoon : sufficient
having already been remarked by us to show
that, notwithstanding our exceeding regret at
the absence of such men as Mulready and Maclise
from among the chief exhibitors, we are dis-
posed to regard the present exhibition, as in seve-
ral respects something above the average of the
Royal Academy collections.

The Culonial Produce Markets this week have
been rather more active, and most of the principal
staples have commanded firm prices. Sugar has
been in fair demand at fully previous rates, and of
coffee there have been moderate purchases at full
values. Tea has remained dull, and at the public
sale a large quantity was taken in. Rice has been
firm, especially the fine sorts; in cocoa no change of
importance has occurred, and rum has met with
fair inquiry. Pepper and cloves have been rather
cheaper, saltpetre has tended downwards, and co-
chineal has been at previous quotations. In cotton
a moderato business has been done. Tallow has
continued dull.

The business of the Bank of London progresses
satisfactorily, as will be seen from the following

The market for public securities has been rather
unsettled, some heavy sales having been made upon
the expectation that the Bank return will show a
further deficiency in the stock of bullion. An
attempt has been made to " hang" the mar-
ket, but this was only partially successful,
an influential dealer having appeared as a pur-
chaser of stock. Consols for money have been
92g 1,92 g and 921 I. The account prices
have been 921 1, and since 92i 1. The New 3

In Foreign Securities there is very little anima-
tion. Mexican Bonds are heavy in consequence
of no remittance having arrived, and the quotation
is 22 to 221. Chilian 6 per Cents. are 104, Rus-
sian 41- per Cents. 94i, and Sardinian 5 per Cents.
95. Spanish Securities are firmer, the Threes
being 44a, and the New Deferred 244 _a. Tarkish
6 per Cents. opened at 97k, but they have since
been 96k, while the 4 per Cents, are 1001. Dutch

The Committee of Mexican Bond holders have
received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated
Mexico, 2d ult. The Government of General
Canaa.rifort has been considerably strengthened by
the surrender of Puebla on the 221 of March last.
This packet brings no remittance for the dividend
fund ; but it is hoped that things will soon return
co a more regular course.

The Ecuatorian Commission of Agency yesterday
received a further remittance of 2,9051. lls. 3d.,
on account of the dividends on the foreign debt of
the Republic.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 62 to 74 ; Mexi-
can, 22k; Peruvian, 77 9 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents.,

MRS. KELLY'S MIIRDIIR.—DUBLIN, May 1 . —The
inagist,rial investigation into this case has closed. Mr.
Strevens, nephew of Mrs. Kelly, and James Bannon,
have been committed for trial at the Assizes.
DEATH OF MR. GIITIIRIB, F.R.S.—We regret to ar.•
nounce the death of that distinguished surgeon, Mr. J.
Guthrie, which took place yesterday morning, at his
residence, Berkeley-street, Berkeley•square. Mr.
Guthrie was born in 1785, and commenced at an elrly
age, in the army of his country, a career which con•
ducted him to the highest places in his profession. His
various permanent contributions to the healing art,
chiefly in the form of lectures, contemplate almost every
form of lesion to which the human body is liab:e ; but
his chief attention was directed to the eye and its
diseases. The Ophthalmic Hospital in King William-
street, Strand, was founded by Mr. Guthrie at a time
when the special study of distinct branches of surgery
was less usual than at present, and having been esta.
blishod almost entirely by his directions, received for
forty years the advani.sge of his steady support. Mr.
Guthrie was for many years one of the examiners of the
Royal College of Surgeons, and several times became
president of that eminent corporation. His death was
not unexpected, having been preceded by several
months' illness arising from an affection of the heart.
He Eaves cue son, Mr. C. G. Guthrie, F.R.C.S., and
daughter.
