FRANCE. PARIS, TeICIDAT Evawixo. The M u niti :sr contains a decree dividing France ' for the purprses of prefectural inspection into nine cireuniseriptions, and itioixniog to the inspectors np- • rimed by the decree of Feb. 2, 1833, the ciream scrip • tions which they are respectively to survey. These inspectors are the following councillors of state: MM. Nlarchant, Cartier, Buulatignier, Ville- Woisse, Fremy, St lune, Dubessey, and Dariste. The only striking piece of news relative to the Ex t re question to-day is an assertion put forth very confitlentty by the Cl:lit ituti"nnel. that Russia does not admit the right of either France, Eng:and, Austria, ur Prussia, to interfere in the matter. This extraordinary finale to the reports with which we bare been inundated during the last fortnight, that Mine one or more of the proposed mediations had t wos accepted, produced a considerable sensation at th e opeieng of the Bourse. The Presae observes upon Oda statement: We shall take the liberty in future of paying no attention to the pretended sews from St. Petersburg, which the t .„ ret so Journals nations to give us with more regolari y than mtt eority, and the Firm dings of Count Guile,' are *ow to us a nastier of the utmost itdifferanee. With re pr,,l to the powers, it is evident, *reaming the Co/oaths mime to be well informed, that they have merely been 'sing time at St. Petersburg. It is at Constantinople that they must act, either with a view to submission or resist ance. hut in either case they must act with promptitude. Marshal Prince Jerome Bonaparte has left the Palais Royal fur his chateau of Villegenis, where he Heads to pass several days. M. Martinez de la Rosa arrived at Bayonne on the 9:!ntl, coming from San Ildefonso on Ur way to Paris. The TAW , ' of Lille says that the mayor, M. Iticheb;•, on his return from Paris, whither 'he load been to inspect some decorations preparing for the f;te to be given to the Emperor when he shall visit 'that town, expressed a confident hope that his Ma jesty would be at Lille between the 10th and the 13th of September. I observed on the day of the publication of the &crte relative to the importation of corn from Eng lish possessions in Europe, that people were not agreed as to its precise meaning. It appears that the construction is still a matter of controversy. The Echo Agricole says: We received from England a letter commencing with these words; " Yesterday the news of the suspension of the French corn laws produced some sensation among our Greek houses. The meaning of the despatch was not how ever very clearly understood, and we are looking for an explanation in the Echo!" This communication shows how seceessry it is to make such commercial laws as may not be dentition to the minds of commercial men. It is not the fact, as some journals have interpreted the decree, that " foreign corn, :whether in English ships or in English bonded warehouses can, by payment of the duties im posed upon vessels by the law regulating the importation of grain, be brought Into France for consumption." Fo reign corn earning directly from Americo. Africa, Asia, or reentries in Europe, other than Eugland or her possessions in Europe, is still prohibited from entering France in Eng. lish bottoms. Tne Green houses shou!cl take nothe of this, for in this respect there is no change in the law. Coro coming directly from the Block Sea, Egypt, America, and all other countries other than British possessions in Europe is prohibited. Cora of any origin shipped in England or in the English possessions in Europe is admitted, paying the same duty as that paid upon corn imported under the French flag.

GERMANY. PRUSSIA. An ex-lieutenant of artillery named Usener, who payed a part in the aff,►ir of Kossuth . ' rockets at London, was arrested at Coblentz on the 24th. He had a false passport, and came from Switzerland. He alleged that his intention was to go to Turkey, rid Marseilles. Intelligence of the arrest was imme diately sent off by telegraph to Berlin. He took 'in the insurrections of Schleswig-Holstein and Tutgary. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. RECEPTION OF THE NEW We yesterday gave a telegraphic summary of the news received by the steam ship Mauritius. We are now in possession of our letters from the Cape with dates to June U. The reception of the new constitution was the great event of the month. At the Cape a meeting had been held to hail the new institutions with which the country is endowed. The constitution was warmly received, and an address of thanks voted, which will be found below. The South African Adrertiser says :—" We have heard from the lips of all but infants, blessings on the Queen who had made their fathers free. In his person, in his family, in his soul, the poorest inhabitant of this colony no longer knows a master on earth. The constitution combines the whole power of the state for the protection of every individual. This is civil and religions liberty. When St. Paul pronounced the words—" I am a Roman," the arm of the pro- vincial oppressor was paralysed. The name of a British subject is not less powerful over a wider empire than Rome ever knew. The gift of liberty, thus understood, was rapturously accepted on Monday last, and thus one grand act of the colonial drama was triumphantly concluded. At Stellenbosch, Swellendam, Coleeberg, George, and blalmesbury, addresses of the same character had also been voted. In the eastern districts some dissatisfaction is mani fest, and it is complained "that the constitution makes no provision for a equation of the provinces, a removal of the seat of government, or for the fu ture defence of the frontier." At Graham's Town the people had passed resolu tions declaring, together with their gratitude for re-, presentative institutions, that these do not meet the moderato requirements, or satisfy the reasonable ex pectations of the people of the province. They par ticularly complain " that the constitution is unaccom panied by any suitable provision, either for a re. moval of the seat of government from Cape Town, or for the establishment of a strong and efficient government in this province. That, viewinz this omission as fatal to the interests of the people of this frontier, they feel themselves called on to record their utter want of confidence in any form of govern ment by which the affairs of this province, together with a complex border policy, will be committed to the administration of a governor, an executive, and a legislature sitting in Cape Town, more than 600 miles distant from this frontier—so constantly ex posed to the inroads of barbarian hordes, by whom it has been laid waste and plundered thrice within the comparative short period of eighteen years,— not to dwell upon the innumerable murders and rob beries committed by them between these fatal pe riods." It is believed, however, iu the colony that a little discussion in the first new plrliament will show that the constitution makes the best provision that could have been devised, on all points affecting the general warfare, by bringing the whole colony into une council, in the first place, expressly for the purpose of discussing and settling them by general consent. The government was taking the necessary mea sures for completing a register of voters, so that the elections may commence with as little delay as pos- sible. It appears by come notices in the frontier papers, an extract from which will be found below, that there are still some brigands at large in the Fish River Bush, tho relics of the war, whom it will be neces nary to root out, but generally the frontier districts are rapidly recovering their former settled and pros perous appearance. Notwithstanding the troubles of the last two years, the material interests of the colony, as a whole, hive steadily improved. Landed property has every where risen in value. Capital finds constant and remunerating employment. All sorts of labour are in demand at high, but not extravagant rates. The Graham's Town ✓ourant says :—" Our farmers are gradually returning and resuming their usual occupations. The plan of settlement of the N.E. boundary is proceeding satisfactorily, and the expec tatimi of the scheme being extended along the line of the South Victoria division gists a degree of con fidence to our frontier men, which would not base been otherwise felt. The Kat Ricer commission has nearly closed its labours, and has, we understand, collected a mass of evidence which, when published, will be found alike interesting and important." The trade and commerce of the colony during the last year are described in the Report of the Commit tee of the Commercial F.xeliange, to be gradually extending, not only to the uttermost limits of cleat ' ',anon, but to regions hitherto unexplored by the most adventurous travellers. In the same document the committee mention frith satisfaction the grant of a constitution and the contract made with the General Screw Steam Shipping Company, to have two vessels of 300 tons each running between the ports of Table Bay and Natal ; the improvements made during the year in the coaling of steamers ; the expectation of seeing a lighthouse reared on Cape Point ; the grow ing improvement in the Poet-office arrangements; the receipt of the Prize Medals from the Great Exhibi tion of 1931; the rapid increase in the quantity of wool; and the progress of road making in the co lony. HOTTENTOT BANDITTI.—LOSS OF LIFE. (From the Grahams's retell Journal.) Circumstances have trausi.ired within the past week, which show that Hottentot banditti still infest the fa ane , ses of the Fish River Bush. On Sunday, Lieutenant Surmen, , of the Mounted Pulice, received information that two oxen ha 1 been stolen from Mr. Tharratt, and that Ruhr spnor took the direction of tee Fish River. With this clue Mr. Surmon, with that intelligecce and zeal which ever distin guishes him, started off on Monday morning, with about • dozen of the men under his command, and soon catne upon the trail near the Esca, on the Queen's Road. This trail took the bush on the right of the road, and led to a mall spring or fountain in the dense thicket, where one of the mis.ing oxen had been slaughtered, cut up, and tho flesh taken away. From this point the spoor went deeper iuto the denser and snore unfrequented tt.icket, taking the direction of the haunt of the notorious rebel Pockbaas, from which be wet routed by the Albany Rangers under Captain W. Stubbs at the early part of the war. From the entangled character of the hush at this part it need scarcely he remarked that the police could only make their stay through it on foot—and they were doing rs very cautiously, when a signal was given by the advanced guard that the enemy was in sight. At the next moment the bandits, some 10 or 12 in number, were seen rushing over an adjacent ridge. Pursuit in the dense scrub being out of the questicn, the police instantly fired upon the fugitives, the result being that a Hottentot woman was shot dead, and one or two of the bandits severely wounded. In one instance the robber was seen to fall tw ice. and yet he succeeded in getting into the bush and eluding the pur suers. In tho other case the robber also escaped, but from the blood spoor it was evident he must have received severe, not to say fatal injury. On elimination of the locality it was found that these bandits had formed a lodgment in a cluster of caves in the face of • precipitous cliff, concealed by bush, and tmapproachaele ezeept by a circuitous path alike difficult and hazardous to tread. In these caves were found great stores of beef, soap, clothing, bedding, &c., some of the articles indicating very clearly that communication with Graham's Town was frequent. One gun and a few other articles were taken, and the rest thrown into a heap and burned. No shots were fired by the bandits—leading to the conclusion that they were without gunpowder. Had they been supplied, the approach to the caves in question could only have been made at the imminent risk of life on the part of the assailing party. Information reached town yesterday of an attack near the Queen's-road the previous evening on a party of Fin goes by some Hottentot bandits ; and we regret to say ' with the lost of one man, who was shot dead by the robbers. Sir George Clerk had arrived in the Indiana as commissioner for settling the affairs of the Orange River sovereignty, and assistant commissioner, with Mr. Owen, to General Cathcart for settling the affairs of the eastern frontier generally. The South African Commercial Advertiser observes that " his appointment will afford scope for the fullest exercise of all the good qualities ascribed to him ; for, not withstanding the peace, the affairs of Southern Alit ica still present a host of difficulties, the worse to operate upon from their being, or appearing in imperial eyes, to be small difficulties. The affairs of all Europe taken together are less complicated than the relations I now existing between this government and the native tribes. Along an open frontier, five or six hundred miles in extent, the colony touches the ter ritories of not less than seven or eight African chiefs, with all of whom we have hsd inexplicable con nexions in peace and inconclusive struggles in war. The problem is, how to preserve tranquillity among all these potentates, and to protect the inhabitants of the thinly-peopled districts from being overrun at any moment in case of a misunderstanding.' TILE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1853. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JULY 26. At a Privy Council held in Dublin Castle yester day the Lord Chancellor and Sir Edward Blakeney were sworn in Lords Justices during the absence of the Lord Lieutenant. The Itibbon trials, which were to have elmmenced yesterday at the county of Down assizes, have been postponed ; the Attorney-General, who was expected, did not attend. The prisoners showed by the bar which had been engaged to defend them that there was no lack of money on their side. There was a large and fashionable attendance at the Great Industrial Exhibition yesterday, the num ber of visitors amceinting to 10,134—the largest yet since the opening of the exhibition. Yesterday the Archbishop of Dublin presided at the first meeting of the " Society for Protecting the Rights of Conscience," at the parochial infant school, Kingstown. The attendance was chiefly composed of clergymen. His Grace the Archbishop, in address ing the meeting, said : We are entirely unconnected with conversions, exoept so , 1 far as converts may be exposed to persecutions fur con science sake. We enter into no connexion with any society for diffusing religious knowledge of any kind. By rights we understand not necessarily that every one is right in the religion that he-adopts, but that his neighbours have no right to interfere with him. We merely maintain that a man has a right, not necessarily amoral right, nor a right in point of judgment, but a civil right to worship Gid Sc. cording to his own conscience without suffering any hard ships at the hands of his neighbours for so doing. We limit ourselves entirely to those descriptions of persecution in which the law can give no relief. As for assaults and vio lence of any kind, where the law provides and holds out a remedy, we leave all persona to seek that remedy fur them selves ; and we do not undertake to guard, or to remune rate, or to compensate any Fersons who are exposed to ob loquy, to curses, denunciations of divine vengeance uttered by men to ridicule, or to any sort of annoyance of that kind. They should be taught to bear it and to support it with joy and satisfaction through divine help, arid rejoicing that they are counted worthy to suffer in the good cause. But when attempts are made to compel men to conform to what they do not conscientiously believe, by the fear of *Location, by turning them out of employment when they are honest mod industrious labourers, by refusing to buy and cell or hold any intercourse with them, then I think it is, and then only, that a society like this ought to come forward, and that all persons, whatever religion they may be of, or whether they are of no religion at ell or not, in a feel ing of humanity and justice ought to look with a favour able eye on such a society as yours, provided it keep itself within its own proper bounds. NAVAL. PORTs3fOrtit, Jta.T 26.—HETraN OF THE DUKE OT WELLINGTON TO EIPITHEAD.—The Duke of Welling ton, 131, screw steam ship, Captain H. B. Martin, C.D., arrived at Spithead this afternoon from her trial cruise. She came in sight at 12.40 p.m., being under sail, and working up in beautiful style under double reefed topsails, foresail, and jih, the wind heirs! S.W. by W. At two o'clock she made a tack, setting main and wizen sails, and passed the fleet at Spithead in a mak nifisent manner. She stood well down to the westward, as far as Anglesey. when she shortened sail to topsails and jib, bearing up for her anchorage at 2,45, and taking her station to the westward of the Beet, the I Ajax, 60, preventing her taking up the position she held prior to her departure. Her trial cruise appears to have 1 1 been very satisfactory In every respect, althoogh she did not appear to be very stiff under canvas in the strong breeze with which she came up to Spithead. The Encoun ter. screw sloop, Captain O'Callaghan, that bad gone out to look after the Duko of Wellington and order her back to Spithcad, returned to this port this morning, having met with the Duke some 200 miles off the Land's End on Saturday last. She reported that the Duke would not be i able to get up before to-morrow, but the latter has proved her sailing qualities to be superior to what they were expected to be. The Antelope, 3, steam vessel, Lieutenant Young, arrived to-day at Spithead from Gibraltar, last from Plymouth. The Bulldog, 6, stearn.sloop, went out of harbour to-day to try her engines, and returned in the afternoon. The Nelson, 120, was taken into dock last night. It is reported that she will he cut down to a two-decker. The weather at this port continues very unseasonable, the wind blowing almost a gale, and I gradually rising, whilst rain, at intervals during the day, lulls in drinling and driving showers. Serious fears are beginning to be felt in reference to the clops. KING'S COLLEGE.—On Monday last a handsome chased silver tea and coffee service was presented to the Rev.

Despatches were sent yesterday to the Governor of Gib.altar. TILE MURDER OF TILE MAYOR OF UZES. On the 30th of September last, at about four o'clock in the morning, as the Viscount de Dampmartin, a man of large property, mayor of the town of Uses, and one of the most zealous defenders of the cause of order, was leaving his house, preceded by a servant, carrying his trunk with the intention of proceeding to Nifrael, where the Pre sident of the Republic wu to arrive that day, be was fired at, and fell dead, having received several shots, one of which struck him in a vital part, so that he fell without uttering a cry ore groan. As M. de Dampmartin was a man of great benevolence, and had never been known to take legal proceedings against any tenant in arrear of rent, or any other person indebted to him, it would have been difficult to fix suspicion upon any man as the murderer, if there hail been no ground for attributing the deed to political motives. As soon, how ever, as the murder was known, public opinion designated a muter mason, named Monet, as the murderer. Monet, who is a man of 45 years of age, of inferior education, but much natural intelligence, had, at the Revolution of 113411, taken a prominent part in politics, and been elected as a member of the Municipal Council of Uses. He was else president of a society which exercised great influence over the elections and all the affairs cf the municipality. Is addition to this, Monet was employed by the Duke d'Usee not only as a mason but also generally as • confidential i agent. M. de Dampmartin, anxious to put an end to the influence of the party at the head of which Monet Ind placed himself, endeavoured to get him removed from the Municipal Council, where he had thwarted all the efforts of the Mayor and the Conservative party in favour of order, and when another election took place for that body Monet was an unsuccessful candidate. This mortification was followed by another—the dissolution by the prefect of the society of which Monet was presi dent, and to complete the defeat of Monet, the candidate ship of the Duke d'Uses for a seat in the Council General of the department was unsuccessful, although Monet had exerted himself strenuously in support of his patron. Losing his influence is the Municipal Council, Monet was no longer employed by the town as a builder, and this cir cumstance added greatly to the irritation which he felt at being deprived of his position as a chief of the ultra repub lican party. lie had been frequently heard to utter me naces against the Mayor, and it was not surprising that suspicion should fall upon him after the murder of M. de Dampmartin. There were, however, no positive proofs against him. The murders- was seen to walk away en the direetion:of the house inhabited by Monet, but the evidence as to his identity was not very conclusive, and if it was he who fired the gun, be must have entered his house by passing over the roof and not by the door. On this point, indeed, there was evidence which appeared to bear heavily upon Monet; for some person was heard to pass over the roof, and on being called to by a person who was in bed, re plied, " It is me," but without mentioning his name. Another fact stated in the indictment appeared also to apply pattieululy to Monet. Several persons expressed an opinion that M. de Datopmartin had been killed by a skil ful marksman, and Monet had tho reputation of Wag the best shot st Uzis. The indictment, in addition to these circumstances, dwelt at great length on the mode in which Monet had conducted himsed after the murder ; but all that was stated on this point might have taken place with an ioaocent man knowing himself to be an object of ge neral suspicion. Monet was in the procession at the fune ral of M. de Dampmartin, and betrayed great agitation. When the coffin approached lie withdrew, and he did not eater the church for the religious crremcny. Aa important question in this affair was to ascertain where Monet was at about the time of the murder. He declared that he was in bed, and that he rose about five, and went to a small house belonging to him in the environs, and which he was repairing. Several persons, however, declared before the examining magistrate that they bad seen Monet lurking about the premises of M. de Dampmar tin in the night of the murder, and the person who fired the gun was stated by the servant of the victim, and other persons who saw him walking off rapidly after com mitting the crime, to have been dressed as Monet usually was. Among the circumstantial evidence againet the accused, the indictment dwelt much on the fact that in the pocket of the nursers of Monet there had Inca found a piece of paper of the same kind as that of the unburnt wadding of the gun, which was picked op oe the spot where it was discharged. This paper is what is usually sold at the tobacco shops, and in the piece found on Monet was some tobacco. There were also on the unburnt portion of the wadding and the paper found on Monet marks of wax resembling each other; but, on the other hand, the edges of the two pieces of paper did not match, and, as the tobacco sold in packets is sealed with wax of the sauna kind, the marks is question were to be accounted fe' by supposing that the murderer, if it was not Monet, might have put in wadding from a paper of to en which he bad purchased. The double-barrelled gun of Monet was found at his house in the country, loaded in the usual way ; and, according to his statement, it bud not been used for a considerable length of time, and one of the locks would not act. Had this been true, it would have been impossible for him to use it against M. de Dampmartin in the way in which the crime was accomplished ; for the assassin fired two barrels, one immediately after the other. The persons employed to examine Monet's fowling-piece, how ever, declared that both locks acted, and that the gun might have been recently fired. The above are the prin cipal parts of the indictment. On the trial, which com menced several days age before the Court of Assign of the Drome, there were a great number of witnesses, who deposed as to the general conduct of Monet, the threats that he had used, and the violence of his cha racter, but many of these witnesses spoke from hearsay, and not from personal knowledge. Some witnesses declared that they saw the murderer as he was leavieg the spot, and recognised him to be Monet ; (Wien said that the man who was escaping resembled Monet in rise and by the dress that be wore, but that although it was moonliebt he was in the @bade, and they could not see his face. Two of these wit leases were charged by the President of the Tribunal with prevarication, and on the application of the Precursor Im perial were ordered into custody. Two remarkable features sharked the trial. During the examination of tie witnesses far the prosecution, the prisoner displayed great violate., and occasionally much insolence, for which he was sternly reprimanded by the President. On the other hand, if any Englishman had been present, he must have been forcibly inthremed with the difference in the mode of conducting thee, as fa- as the indge is concerned, between England and France. In England the judge rather endeavour to prevent intimidation of a prisoner when it would have the effect of making innocence appear to be guilt ; in France, the judge is a sort of prosecutor, who avails himself of every opportunity to get evidence against the prisoner by throw. lag him off his guard. What is considered a duty in Eng land appears to constitute a vice in France. The difference was never more strongly manifested than in this trial for the murder of M. de Dampmartin. The prisoner, however, appeared to bear the course adopted towards aim with great indifference, and even indulged in some very improper jocular remarks, but what was most characteristic in him, was his violence. A female having declared that she bad perfectly recognised him as the murderer, he exclaimed to the gendarme who was near him, " Give me your sword that I may cut off my head," and made a movement as if about to seise the sword of the gendarme. The gendarme declared that he had exclaimed, " Give me your sword that I may cut off her head," and other persons in court corroborated this statement, which was remarked upon by the bench as another proof of his ferocity. The prisoner, however, asserted this . he had said, "my bead, - and attri buted the exclamation to his sorrow and indignation at this testimony, which, he said, was false, meaning that if such evidence could be believed, it was in vain to hope for an ac quittal, and the sooner he got rid of his existence the better. An Inoue of respectability who was near him, end some other person!, declared that the rtendarme and those who had declared that he said " cut off her head," were mis taken ; his exclamation was "my head." As the trial pro ceeded the conduct of Monet became exceedingly violent. He insulted several witnesses for the prosecution, and told them that they had sold themselves to his enemie , , who had, he said, promised large sums for false testimony to procure his conviction. The trial concluded on the 23rd, when the jury gave in a verdict of guilty without extenuat ing circumstances. The court condemned Monet to death, and ordered that the execution should take place at Valence. COMMERCIAL BANK OF LONDON. Yesterday the annual meeting of the proprietors of this bank took plan at the offices, Lothbury, Mr. BAYNEWALL in the chair. The balance sheet showed that, after paying all expenses and making ample provision for bad and doubtful debts, the net profits for the past year amount to 30,6541. 12s. 103.; out of these profits a dividend at the rate of 61. per I rent. per annum fur the hal -year ending 31st December, 18.52, has been already paid, Ind the directors have now to declare a dividend for the half-year ending 30th June,' 1853, at the same rate, and a bonus of 16s. per share—both dividend and bonus free from income tax.

Alderman COPELAND said he hoped that the Lord Mayor or the Recorder ' or some other member of parliament, who had the interests of truth and fair play at heart, would urge the chairman of the parliamentary committee upon coal duties, to make the report of that committee, which had closed its labours, as speedily as Itossible, in order to remove the load of slanders which had been heaped upon the corporation as to the profits derived from the imposi tion of those duties. (Hear, hear.) The report must, he was convinced, show to the world that the corporation actu ally gained by the source of profit to which ho had referred actually—nothing. The LORD MAYun said he expected that a member of the court, who was also a member of the House of Com mons committee (Alderman Cubitt), and who was perfectly well acquainted with the subject, would soon appear, and give the necessary information. A conversation took place on the subject of the prosecu tion of non freemen. Mr. Sewma. &matted the court with the books, and, in Ammer to questions put by the Lord Mayor and several members of the court, said that no summons had been issued to any person in the City of London, in consequence of not having taken up his freedom since the 29th day of April. (Bear, bear.) Alderman FAILLBUOIHZiNICI; had observed by the report in the newspapers of what occurred at Guildhall on the lest day the livery assembled, on the subject of electing a sheriff, that the election bad been postponed in conse quence of some expected arrangement by which the vacancy was to be filled to the satisfaction of the citizens and he wished to know, if there were no strong grounds for keep ing the matter a secret, why the election did not take place at the appointed time ? The Logo MAYOR said the postponement had taken place with the concurrence, and indeed by the advice - of the recorder and the town clerk. (Rear, hear.) At the mo ment an eligible candidate did not present himself, but a negotiaticn was going forward, by which it had been hoped the difficulty would have been surmounted, and it was thought that • gentleman who had declined the office might be induced to accept it. Under these circumstances he had taken the advice of the two able officers he had named, and dissolved the hall. (Hear, hear.) Alderman FAILIBILOTHER and Alderman WiLeote ad dressed the court, and A motion was then agreed to that strict direction be given to prevent any persons who are not liverymen from entering the hall on the day of the nomination, and en the nest day of election to the office of sheriff. SURREY GAS CONSUMERS' ASSOCIATION.- TESTIMONIAL TO MR. SHERIFF CROLL.

About seventy gentlemen sat down to dinner, and the chair was taken by Mr. Douglas, chairman of the association. LONDON ANNUAL POULTRY SiloW. The private view of the above show took place yesterday, at the Baker.street Bazaar, and exhibited a marked improvement on preceding exhibitions. The fashionabla Cochin China fowls are this year exhibited in ell their varieties, from the pure cinnamon, which is so much prized, to the white specimens, which are almost as precious es a white elephant. There is also a large collec tion of the valuable Spanish fowl, and many beautiful spe cimens of the diminutive bantum, not less valuable for their matchless symmetry, than for the wonderful "game " by which they are constitutionally distin guished. The pigeons are in wonderful variety, and of high quality. Of tho Spanish fowl, the specimens exhibited by Captain Hornby, are of unapproachable superiority, but in the Cochin Chins, one pen exhibited by E. Taylor, of Aylesbury, tarried away the Ant prize. As for the pigeons, it will be sufficient to say that the "Almond Tumbler," " Barbs," and " Poutexe," are most efficiently represented in the show, and include many specimens for which an almost fabulous price is demanded by the exhibitors. The exhibition taken as a whole gives marked signs of progress, and the arrangement of the specimens reflects much credit ion those who have succeeded in reducing an exceedingly noisy family to a respectable degree of organisation and classification. The following is the list of prizes. Spanish : Class I. Capt. W.W. Hornby, RM., Ist and 2nd prize ; T. H. Fox, 3rd prim—Class 2. Capt. W. W.

The want of any convenient place far public resort has long been so deeply felt, and with the enormous increase of the popula tion has come at last to be so indispensable, that attention has been called to the matter in such a way, and su.h a plan has been devised, which promises to secure all that could be desired. The present project origi nates with Mr. Samuel Beale, the deputy-chairman of the Midland Railway, who has f.a many years laboured greatly to promote, in some may or other, the deriraute un dertaking now projected. It was upon the invitation of this gentleman that his fellow-townsmen assembled th;s morning. The MAYOR occupied the chair.

The result of the meeting this mornir.g wzs, thr.t the plan was received and approved, and a committee of five gen tlemen was appointed to confer with the corporation, in order that details may be arranged, and Le time les: in carrying out the project.

A very lowering morning ushered in the G...0i1w.7.cd m.etlng, and threw over it cn air of dolma., which not even the abundant programme of sport could alterz•ther dispel. Heavy clouds surcharged with rain swept acres the park, and occasionally distributed a portion of their contests. rendering the day sufficiently uncomfortable, without being oetu illy wet. the company, which scarcely reached a numerical average, was composed chiefly of gen tlemen—the patrons, amateurs, and profosionats of tho turf. Oniy a few ladies appeared upon the Grand Stand. In that portion of the building reamed for the exclusive occupation of the Duke of ItiOnond, was observed the noblo proprietor, who every lover of sport regrets to learn has born r(cently suffering Cum indisposition.
