of the Royalists, which has br-en concocted in Eng-
laed and B-dgium, is nearly ripe for exF cation. It is
said that certain proposals have been merle to the
PRESIDENT to play the p in of Monk, proposals wnich
we have no doubt, he indignantly rejected. We re-
member to have heard from the Absolutist
partisans in this country denunciations uf.on
denunciations against those who " abused
the hospitality afforded to them as exile.;,
to plot against the Governments of countries in al-
liance with Great Britain." We remember the
Grahamizing of the letters of MAZZINI, and the fate
of the unfortunate BANDEIROS consequent thereupon ;
and we ask, whether it is not just as great an abuse
of hospitality fur Royalists to conspire in this coun-
try to disturb a Republic as it is for Republicans to
conspire to disturb a Monarchy, and if not, why not ?

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, MAT 14.—1 n the sitting of the Se
cond Chamber this day the members were occupied in
in sections in examining the provincial law, and the
law for regulating the expensEs for the regency.
The provincial law was very well received in the
sections, and will probably be adopted, with only a
few modifications, as it now stands.

In the sitting of the Chambers yesterday a general
project of law was submitted on the direct taxes, and
also a report of the yeaYly revenue of the Exchequer.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 11th gives the fol-

" We have just received further details of the insur-
rection at Samos. Avaras, Petro, Tschavalis, and
Lecatis were at the head of the insurgents. Mustapha
Pacha, in the first instance, ordered the troops to re-
main on the defensive. This order, however, only ex-
cited the rebels to greater excesses. Thereupon the
offensive was taken, and the Turkish troops, operating
by land and sea against the rebels, put them to flight.
Avaras was killed. Petros wounded, and Lecatie, has been
sent prisoner to Constantinople."

THE SUN,

altogether so remarkable as to evidence a perceptible
advance in an artist already highly matured in his
capacities. Perhaps the masterpieces in the present
collection are his Loch Vach—Death of the Otter"
(83), and " Return from the Hill—Glen Tilt from
lien-y-Gloe" (100), the former dim with its vapour-
ous suffusion, the latter brilliant from•the prominence
of the figures crossing the foreground. Alfred
Fripp's "Irish Piper" (90), though a hold and
arresting picture, is inferior in the pleasure it
afforded us to a little sketch, which some
might regard as a mere trifle, in which
with a few dashing touches and outlines (182) he
has depicted a young " Furze Cutter." F. Mac
kenzie has adorned the gallery with two architectural
pictures of surprising ability, one (91) representing
the north. west view of Lincoln Minster, and the
other (195) giving the south-west view of the same
superb edifice. Of W. A. Nesfield's painting of" The
Giant's Amphitheatre, near the Causeway" (136) we
crust be permitted to say that never was seen light-
ning of such chromatic liquidity, or tea-water of such
washy greenness. " The Hhareent" (147), by John
F. Lewis, is altogether the most extraordinary pro-
duction in the gallery. It is more than an astonish-
ing curiosity. It is one of those miracles of water-
colour paintings Ns hich occasionally startle us by
their brilliancy. In the exquisite minuteness of
its finish, the picture is comparable to the detailed
oil-paintirgs f Van Eyck, while in smoothness and
delicacy it vies with the brightest enamel. The
nhareein in all its details—the chequered walls, the
carpeted their, the dainty articles of furniture, the
fruit and flowers, the coat of the gazelle, and the cos-
:ume of the different figures introduced, are depicted
with a truthfulness worthy of all admiration. The
very texture of the silks, and linens, and laces, and
other woven fabrics of the Blussulman and his sul-
ranas, are rendered with the utmost regard to the
accurate resemblance of their texture, the expression
of the various countenances being also surpris-
ingly felicitous. Almost approaching this singular
work in minute finish are two others, not
far from it, of very different characters.
One is (160) the "Banquet of Wolsey to the Am •
bassadors," by Joseph _Nash, the other (165) " Hare,
woodpigeon, &c.," by W. Hunt. . L. Palmer con-
tributes two pictures, rather exaggerated in colouring,
(205) "St. Paul landing in Iraly," and (217)
"Robinson Crusoe guiding his ILA up the Creek."
Among the more important productions in the col-
lection we noticed two charming fruit-pieces—(2o4)
by Maria Harrison, and (216) by George Rosenberg,
ibe latter containing a vine leaf all but capable
of rustling to the wind, and a cabbage rose which
only wants the perfume of that empress of the
flowers. Other works of various merit were scattered
over the screens and round the walls of the apartment.

PoR,TMOUTH DOCKYARD.—The Earl of Durham
merchant ship was towed from Cowes to Portsmouth in a
leaky state on Monday night, and taken into one of the docks
in the yard on Tuesday, when a number of hands were put
upon her to repair her, which was done by eleven o'clock on
Tuesday night, when she was taken cut, andlyesterday
sailed from Cowes with troops for Nova Scotia.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

11. Lafont appeared fur the first time this season in
his popular character of Ramadour, in the amusing
corn iie-vaudeville of Les _Deux Brigadiers. The
play is so familiar to the patrons of the French Plays
that there is no necessity to rehearse the plot or the
incidents. Lufunt, who was quite successful in de-
picting the gallant bearing and amusing nonchalance
of the Brigadier, was frequently applauded during
the piece, and was called for at its termination. In
the new comedy of Gabrielle, M. Regnier and Mdlle.
Nathalie produced their accustomed effect. The
piece was acted with perfect ensemble.

Majesty's birthday, were very general, several of them
being on a most magnificent and extensive scale. There
appeared to have been considerable ingenuity and taste
displayed in the election of the devices, in which gene-
rally the introduction of gas had a most brilliant effect.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to tits public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con.
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving. may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, •r,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
sh•uld the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of hi, payments will to returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving cal secure
through this Society.

FRANCE.

The President of the Republic, on the proposition
oi" the Minister of War, has removed M. Terchon
from the command of the battalionof sapeurs-pom-
peu rs of Paris, and replaced him by M. Vives, who
was sent away by the men in a sort of eineute in the
days of February. M. Terchon, on that occasion,
was named to the command by the men them-
selves. ha a report to the President on the change,
the Minister says :—" A double cause has induced
me to propose to you this measure. On :the one
band, it will
consecrate the restoration of the prin-
ciple of the inviolability of command by the recal
of the superior officer in wheae person it was dis-
regarded ; on the other, 111. Vives possesses in the
highest degree the aptitude which the re-organization
of the new battalion requires, by the profound
knowledge which he has acquired of the wants of
the service, and of the interests of this corps. On
the whole, the recall of M. Vives will be a lesson of
high morality, which will place in evidence the value
of dismissals pronounced by revolt, and of appoint-
ments it may make, and at the same time it will be
a pledge for the good and prompt re-organization
.of
corps destined to render great services." The
old Legitinvatist General d'll lutpoul has com-
pletely " bamboozled" the President of the Republic
in the above case : for M. Vives read N. Louis Na•
poleon Bonaparte, and for M. Terchon read " the
Bourbons," and the occult meaning of the remarks
with which General d'Hautpoul concludes his report
will become evident.

GERMAN Y.

__-
It is said that Count Tnuti will make the following
propositions on the part of Austria in the Congress at
Frankfort, relative to the future central power of
Germany, viz.—to appoint a commission of nine
members, of whom two to be named by Austria, two
by Prussia, and one by Bavaria ; the other four to be
divided among the other states.
An extraordinary courier was sent to his MAJESTY
at Graetz, last night, with dispatches from Prussia,
which are said to be of a satisfactory nature.
The Deutsche Volksblatt, in an article from Frank-
fort, says it is positively asserted here that Austria
has invited the two Princes of Hohenzollern to meet
the representatives of the various German Govern-
ments assembled here, in order to take part in the de-
liberations respecting the framing of the future con-
stitution.

Austria is exceedingly desirous of negotiating a
new loan, but her credit is so low that she finds great
difficulty in doing it, and will most probably be
obliged to hare recourse to a forced circulation of
assignats.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of ferfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, tw•-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
Tke following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

her loss, was proceeding on, when the parcel was picked up
by a lad whose appearance denoted extreme poverty. The
little fellow, not knowing who was the loser, eyed the
package suspiciously, and then started after a gentleman
who, disclaiming any knowledge of the property, led the
honest lad to run after a second person, and a third, and
ultimately the rightful owner, who acknowledged the

FRANCE.

The President of the Republic, on the proposition
of the Minister of War, has removed M. Terchon
from the command of the battalion of sapeurs-pom-
peurs of Paris, and replaced him by M. Vives, who
was sent away by the men in a sort of eineute in the
days of February. M. Terchon, on that occasion,
was named to the command by the men them-
selves. In a report to the President on the change,
the Minister says :—" A double cause has induced
me to propose to you this measure. On :the one
hand, it will consecrate the restoration of the prin-
ciple of the inviolability of command by the recal
of the superior officer in whPse person it was dis-
regarded ; on the other, M. Vives possesses in the
highest degree the aptitude which the re-organization
of the new battalion requires, by the profound
knowledge which he has acquired of the wants of
the service, and of the interests of this corpa„ On
the whole, the recall of M. Vives will be a lesson of
high morality, which will place in evidence the lalue
of dismissals pronounced by revolt, and of appoifit-
ments' it may make, and at the same time it wrjl
a pledge for the good and prompt re-organization,.of
corps destined to render great services." The
old Legitimatist General d'ilautpoul has com-
pletely " bamboozled" the President of the Republic
in the above case : for M. Vives read M. Louis Na-
poleon 'Bonaparte, and for M. Terchon read 4 the
Bourbons," and the occult meaning of the reMarks
with which General d'Hautpoul concludes his report
will become evident.
