LYNDON, Tuesday, April l, 1856.
Ia rAkea stroll through the fields on Sunday
aAersco,. And returnei rather late in the evening
frc-A 7is:i 70 frs0d IN one OF the outlying sub
u-Ss e. Ioo3on when suddenly heard the boom
fearsca frorn the Horse Guards, announcing the
err Of 80 Race Though every body hsd expected
~ .ser; rt lAsi three weeks, still il took Inc aud
rSe LooSoasrs By surprise, the peace was sigoed
@ Sunday Still hope even the strictest Sab
bs.Arao. win 10, object to such a work, and no
jus-ise of tie peace vii be found 10 fine Lord
81 6es.e-silon-tbe bect Of the PeliPotentiaries
hes,z 20 brig their work to conclusion before the
t-ylz.cn OF the srIIistice, which was to expire
e Monday noon. Yesterday CHANGED to be in
:As ei;y CT business VIXEN the Lord Mayor, IN full
costume, spPesred, fret on the balcony OF the
Mansion House and then on the steps under the
eolcunEde Of the Exchange, reading in public
jetter Of Sir George Grey, and announcing
that defbiiive treaty for the restoration oil
pesee I'D for the maintenance OF the integrity
ard Independence Of toe Ottoman Empire had
Teen signed By the PleDipOtentlsries OF the great
Powers and Of Sardinis. The church bells struck
forth = merry peal, union. jacks were displayed
from all the public buildings and the masthesds OF
the ships il the. river the windows OF the adjacent
houses were crowded with ladies, and the space
before tie Exchange, with about two 70 three
ttoussrd perso;Is, most Of them with Scientific
cast q features, Justify cheering, but not much
excited. soma Of the assembled crowd had just
cone from friahtfQl and more exciting scene-the
execution OF the murderer BOusfield, who in fit OF
lunsey had muidered his wife and children and at
o'clock was p,lblicly hung before Newgate prison.
The wretehed ,nan-sO Frustrated for the last Ten
DAYS that he had TO be carried TO the galO~s, un-
l. su1d in
last struggle displayed such superhuman force
that he three times succeeded in plating his feet
upon the scatsd after the drop hal fallen. 1t was
hideous terrible sight and 1t is to be hoped that
its horrors VII lead to a modlncatioh oi tae
"nise en- se<ne" Of public executions All the
papers strongl. condemn the present mode.
In the evenisg Lord PalmerstOn was missing
from the Hous, of Commons. Business went on
"a usual. and lie, with all his characteristic ease
and nonchalanse, suddenly issued from behind the
Speakers cbaTf in his old character of the comic
gentleman" afid the laughter and some cheers of
the House Nj. French complained that the Gov
eminent had made no communication to the House
about the peace but the noble Lord, amid increas
ing laughter, replied with dry humOr, that his
statement would convey no information beyond
what the House already knew, since the treaty OF
peace had not yet been ratified, and 1t was not Ell
quette to disclose matters 10 Parliament which had
not yet been approved by the Queen; so we must
have patience As to the real nature othe treaty ell
Their until the let May until Napoleon Ill. may
find il convenient to inform the French nation about
it. So much las oOzed Out-tbat the Turkish pro-
test had it's full effect, and that the subject of
the future constitution ofthe Pfincipaites has been
excluded from the Conferences, as matter only
concerning the Sultan and the MOldO- W alachiaus,
though the great powers will try TO suggest such
measures may prove most satisfactory to both
parties. The ,Hatti.hamayoun about the rights of
the Christians has likewise not been Incorporated
into the treaty of peace, being an administrative
measure of the Porte without international char
acter Thus she war declared by England and
France on thl 9th of March, 1854, has been
brought 10 close after a duration of precisely
two Years. Il cost the belligerent powers the
lives Of 10000 men, and about three hundred
millions sterling and it seems that with the excep-
ton of Napoleon nobody has gained anything by II.
Russia has lost her military prestige, and England
her reputation rs a practical nation. Austria has
lost the friendship of Russia, Prussia the sympa-
titles Of England. The King of Sardinia befOoed
himself in going 20 war; and the cause OF conSttu-
toDGl monarchy has lost ground in Italy, since it
has become evident that Italy has nothing TO gain
from the alliance with kings. Mazzini's party is
strengthened by the shortsighted policy of the
Western Allies and their consideration for Austria
while In Poland the aristocratc section putting
faith in England, has been broken up. Some OF
them now 20 over 10 Russia, others TO the RevO.
lutionary party Napoleon hss established greater
reputation for cunning than he had before; he has
succeeded first in getting England into war agains:
her wish, and now 10 concluding peace sgainst her
wish. Still, even he is disappointed as roe funds
did not rice much either at the birth Of his son
and heir or at the signing of peace. As 10 Turkey;
the Sultan is still the sick man but he has evlnced
such vitality on the battlefield aud in the Confer
enees, both at Vienna aud Paris that he may sur
vive sll the Western nostrums administered 70 him
by Western diplomacy, and especially by Lord
Redclihe.
BY the peculiar framing OF clause about the
double income tax, this most obnoxious duty is to
run TO the 9th of April 1853; tnat is to say, for
two years beyond the war. II was originally lim-
