The writers are parties in the position to learn the truth, and willing to tell it : Sydney, May 31. As I am mire that this extraordinary news will create as I great, or perhaps greater, sensation an England, I will give you daily news of the diggings until the sailing of the ship. May 22.—Bathurst mail arrieed with both official and private accounts from the " field of gold." confirming most fully all the previous reports of the existence of abundance of gold. Much speculation in consequence in Sydaey, par ticularly in wheat, flour, all kinds of provisions, and spirits. 16 passengers by one ship, bound for New Zealand, and 31 passengers, by two ships bound tOr California, left the ships just previous to their departure, forfeiting their passage-money, and are going or gone to Bathurst. Every man in Sydney is talking of going. Flour has risen at Bathurst in two or three weeks from 201. to 631. per ton, at which price it can scarcely be obtained. Carriage of sup plies by drays from Sydney, usually about M. per ton can only with great difficulty be obtained at 161. and 181. per ton. Bread in Sydney has risen from 3)d. per 2 lb. loaf to bd. per loaf, and all other things in same proportion. May 24. Saturday.—Bathurst mail arrived, not oolycon firming all the previous accounts, but stating that they could scarcely be exaggerated ; in consequence the excitement in Sydney is greater than it was before, and hundreds of the respectable working class have left, and are preparing to leave Sydney with the least possible delay. I send you this day's Sydney Hernid, and call your particular attention to all that I have marked, and most especially to the Rev. W. B. Clarke's Geological Account of theGuld lliscoeery. Mr. Clarke is well known as a first-rate geologist and man of many great abilities, and what he writes can be depended upon with the greatest certainty, with no , exaggeration. Should the Sydney !freak d of this day (May 24) not reach you, I strongly advise both you, my lather especially, to t o to the Jerwalem Coffee House, or elsewhere, to read it. The accounts are too important and interesting for you not to be made fully acquainted with all its contents in re firleISCC to the gold discovery. In consequence of this day's mews per post, the 21 1, loaf has risen to ,d., exactly double the price it was ten days ago. Flour in Sydney is 48s. per 100th,., sad it is said to have risen to 80/. per tan. At Bat hurst it is certain that one Sydney merchant has sold 1 ton of flour, to bo delivered at the gold diggings, 130 miles from Sydney, for 701., cash on delivery. Two of the principal brewers in Sydney have this day raised the wages of all their men, giving them an extra ten shillings per week with a promise of a further increase. Large quantities of gold have arrived at the town of Bathuret, waiting a safe escort to Sydney ; it is said that 8,0001. to 10,0001. proceeds worth of gold is already collected and deposited there. I this day saw a letter from a gentleman whom I know very well, and who is not likely to write more than truth, and who for many years has lived in that district ; he writes that one party of four persons collected 34 ox. of gold one day, and that another party within the fortnight had collected sixteen hundred pounds worth of gold." Ten shillings per hwhel for a cargo of wheat Just arrived in Sydney has been offered and refusal; fis. per bushel was a high price last year. One large ship of 800 tons, lett Sydney this day for a cargo of wheat from Valparaiso. The governor has called a meeting of the executive council every day during the past week, and a proclamation has been issued (in the enclosed paper). A body of constables refused to do their duty this evening unless their pay was consi derably increased. Many others have resigned their situa tions. How could they do otherwise, when they hear that gold has been picked up in lumps varying in weight from 4 ox. to 17 , ox. (seventeen and a half ounces each lump— this is a fact). May 27.—Another post-day from the diggings, bringing more and more astonishing news. One gentleman his arrived, and brought with him 1,0001. worth of gold pur chased at the diggings, one piece of gold which I have just now in my own hand s , weighing within two ounces of four pounds weight. This piece of gold is sent by this same ship to Messrs. Dunbar and Sons, of London, to be placed in the Exhibition. Call on Dunbar and Suns, and you can see and handle this four pounds of gold, and f or which &A' 1. was paid. A pocket of gold was also found in a cleft of a reek, from which the lie ky man brought out eleven pounds weight of gold. Think, if you can, of the state of excitement now existing in Sydney . . The post-office runners, who de liver letters, have all 'riven notice to leave for the gold mines. Private menservants iii Sydney are also leaving. A few such reports as we have heard this day and Sydney will be empty. Flour is Is. per lb. at Bathurst. 28.-1 cannot better give you the news than by en closing to you a paper of this day date ;it being • matter of seals interest I send it enclosed rather than run the chance of its being lost, sent asa paper. Sailors are desert ing their ships, and in one instance the whole of one ship's crew has deserted, leaving each man 171. and 18/.!duo to him fur wages. Indeed, the working classes are, with few ex ceptions, gone, going, or making preparations for an early departure to the diggings. May 20.—The past this day brings more astounding news. Emeralds and rubies, it is said, have been discovered is the golden regions ; people are a little more mail ; sailors de mand 761. to 801. for the voyage home, instead of eon ething owlet. 1,11. It is reported that government will be obliged to put a few soldiers on board the ship that takes this letter. There was such a run on the savings bank yesterday, in consequence of the labouriug clueies withdrawing their savings for the purpose of purchasing an outfit for the gold diggings, that the manager was obliged to call in the protection of the police. Another piece of gold has arrived in Sydney Chi in weight. The number of men reported to be on the " field of gold " is 1000 at the least, where a fortnight since not a man was to be seen. The greatest success that I have heard of, and which I know to be true, is that of a poor Scotehman, who was paid 2821. sterling for the gold which be picked up in four days. Eight others realised 361. each within the week. H are more or less successful. May 31.-1 he account. from the diggings are still most flourishing. There are now about 2,000 persons averaging, it is said, from 20s. to 21s. per day cub. Some have had great success. One party brought in 911 u. weight of gold, the remits of two days' labour at the mines. Another party obtained 36105. of gold in one day. Several pieces of gold have been found weighing three, four, and five pounds, also pieces of six and eight pounds are said to have been picked up. Other gold diggings have been discovered in the immediate vicinity. There are many instances of pieces of gold being picked up of the value of 51. to 501. each piece. I have from very good authority that, independently of this discovery of gold, something still more valuable has been found, and as yet is only known to the govern ment; some say plumbago, some say platina. Gold has also been lately discovered at the Clarence Sliver and at [More ton . .1 Bay. The following is from a lady long resident in Syd ney and the Bush : Sydney, May 31.—1 do not often bestow my time upon you, but at the present moment I feel sure you will read my letter with interest, and as 1 doubt not has given you the dry details of the last ten days, I feel inclined to add the romance of the story, but alas! do my best I cannot ex aggerate. If I write of " fieids of gold," you will smile ; but believe me I am stating a fact if I tell you of pure, solid bright lumps of gold, found as easily as you do potatoes, where you expect to find them. You may look incredulous again, yet it is truth. It matters little who discovered this, —the geologist who sat at home and wrote about it, or the energetic and more practical traveller, who with his hammer beoetited by their hints—one thing is certain, that in one week we have emerged from poverty and obscurity to wealth and notoriety. It is difficult to say what will be the effects of thia discovery ; emigration, of course, without expense to ourselves ; steam, railroads. The future is bright and glorious ' indeed, but that you can judge of as well as myself, and I hail better talk of the present. The lint shock to the sheep proprietors will be dreadful. And though squatters may tend their own flocks, they must suffer, and wool will be a scarce article ; the few who will keep their sheep alive will find them as valuable as the nests of gold, but the many will at first be ruined, especially in the distant dis tricts—we are too near to audit., I think. Gold diggers will be discontented, and those who want food and rest will be glad enough to come to us, being only within a hundred miles of the scene of action. I feel, however, that those are right who say that the prosperity of the country is cer tainly and surely established, and though we must all struggle and suffer for the present, the future will reward us. I wish I had time to give you as many particulars as I would wish to write, and that I had the power of Dishes to convey to your mind a true picture of Syd- I ney and the country round. Grave fat men, who never were exited before, am trembling with agitation. Steady 'Tatters. who . have lived amongst their sheep the n sum sad deearioess of life ought to have ext ingu ished every mwdele of eaergy and hope, are now brisk and fond of eimW. Crooks are Indeed exchanged for pistols and cradles—a strange emaliaation, but both are necessary to the gehlkligger. The pendent and the desperate, the old and gesai rvecr are going or gone. Our city is like a place that dm kr m &misted; and the women who remain asettahing assent, of our necessities. Provisions aanso seam aanthat we must try, like the horse, to got to one straw a day. Coals are as valuable nearly as lumps of gold : and I sit shivering whilst I write to you, because I have not the courage to say " Light a fire." Bread we must give up, and rice will be soon a luxury. Servants arc all going or gone ; and the government have issued a proclamation that all who leave the public service will never be employed again. This may influence the few, but those who see and handle the gold will be reckless of 1 consequences. I had 3501. in my hand yesterday,ouly specimens sent down as they were found ; so bright and clear and solid, that I could only feel as if I had been in a dream, and some scene in the Arabian Nights was b-ing acted be fore me. About 1,0001. a day is the average quantity brought into Bathurst, and much is found that we do not hear of. We were all at a ball the night before. Many of our friends were starting, and it was curious to listen to the conversation. The very ladies seemed bewildered, and many golden wreaths were wont in compliment to our " Ophir mines." . . . Our sheep are loudly calling for all the support we can give them, and no one can doubt that eventually they must be of value; within our reach there is gold ; fortunes are made in one day without trouble and with little risk. In a short time we shall be inundated with people, and I doubt not with provisions too, but if the geologists are right, we have gold for all the world. The Thomas Arbuthnot sails in an hour.

EXPECTED REMOVAL OF THE DIFFEREN TIAL DUTIES IMPOSED ON BRITISH SHIP PING IN THE PORTS OF SPAIN. A letter recently received in town from a highly respectable party in Gibraltar, states as follows: It u anticipated by parties who are likely to be well informed on the subject, that the privilege at present granted to Spanish vessels carrying goods to England, via., admission on the same terms as English vessels, will shortly be reciprocated by the Spanish government; so that En glish vessels arriving from England or Gibraltar at Spanish porta will be admitted, on paying the same duties es Spanish vessels; and that goods thus imported will be admitted on paving the same duties as if brought in Spanish vessels. This will make a very great difference in the port charges paid by English vessels, which are at present excessive t and at the same time, it is expected, will be the means of greatly increasing the legal trade with Spain, both from England and Gibraltar. It has for some time past been currently reported, that in consequence of the strong expression of opinion on the injustice of the commercial policy of Spain, elicited from leading members of all parties in the discussion on Mr. Anderson's motion on the Spanish differential duties last session, and the repre sentations addressed to the Spanish government by Lord Palmerston, that the subct had been taken into serious consideration at Madrid, and that a favourable result was looked for. The letter referred tc seems to confirm that expectation. But as the removal of the differential duties on goods can only be effected by an act of the Cortes, which does not assemble until November, and it would no doubt raise considerable discussion, the completion of the measure cannot be looked for immediately. It is, however, gratifying to find the principles of free trade and navigation making progress even in Spain. BRITISH GUIANA. The Royal Casette says : The last fortnight has been a very quiet one in Bri tish Guiana. Every one who can do so seems to have been taking advantage of the long vacation of our lawyers, in the midst of which we now are, to recreate himself, and enjoy a little fresh air. The Court of Policy is appointed to reassemble on the 22nd instant, when the plan of reform in our political insti tutions, as laid before the court on the 25th ultimo, will be brought forward and considered. The weather during the fortnight has been remarkably fine. More favourable "harvest time" could scarcely be imagined. Accordingly, we are glad to state, that the crops of most estates are being rapidly taken off, and that all is business and activity about tho boiling houses. Notwith landing the rather downward tendency of the British sugar markets, as reported by advice* received by the present mail, the prices of produce in the colony still remain firm. la trutn, our mercantile men resident in the colony are as well able to take a long-sighted view of the prospectire state of the sugar trade as any body of men, perhaps, on the other side of the Atlantic. We, who arc in the colony, and see the difficulties with which the growers of sugar have to contend, sec under no apprehension that ' any great increase of the article can, in the pre sent position of the world, bo expected from the I principal sources of supply. On the other hand we should not be at all astunished at a very great decrease taking place with startling suddenness from those quarters. As far as we are concerned we are, happily, under no alarm. under God's blessing the Britis h I% est Indies ore safe. Capital for the moment may be more profitably invested elliewhere in the cultivation of the sugar cane ; but we defy say man to show us where it can be invested more safely. The two great sources of supply at present are Brazil and Cuba ; but, as sugar-producing countries, the position of both, dazzling fur the moment, is eminently unsatisfac- I tory. Their sky overhead may be clear, but there are clouds already lowering in their horizon, while the roll of' ' distant thunder fails on the car. With all their slavery and all their crops the British West Indies would not change places with them for any consideration. In Breed the slave trade has already been abolished by the Chamber of Deputies ; and the public opinion of Brazil has ratified the decree of its legislature. But with oat the slave trade, the sugar production of Brazil cannot be kept up at its present high-pressure rate, any more than the speed of a locomotive can be maintained without a con stant supply of steam. There as to Cuba, what sane man would guarantee its existence, in its present condition of I the greatest sugar-producing colony of the world, for a I twelvemonth together? Cuba resembles a barrel of gun powder exposed in a place where an accident may ignite it he a moment. Thank God ! Great Britain has nothing to do with the crimes of which that fine island is at present the theatre, and snub:, it is to be feared, eventually prove tba vktim. Piracy, annexation, civil war, ace not this. calm and safe conditions on which a tropical country, fed by slave labour, can long maintain its mercantile and agricultural supremacy. Political agi tation in the last century laid the French colony el' St. Domingo in ashes; and it is easy to sec that political agitation in the present, if carried on—no matter how, or by whom—will do the same for Cuba. A more miserable delusion never entered into the brain of man, than to suppose that in the (resent age we can go hack to the heathen days of the old Itomans, when a handful of republicans could keep the great mass of their fellow-beings in abject slavery. The monstrous anomaly of free institu tions for the few, and chains and stripes for the many in Cuba, is too nauseous and hideous an imposition on the common sense of mankind to be long tolerated, under any pretexts, in the present age. On the whole, therefore, we come to the comfintable conclusion, very prevalent in this community, that neither of our neighbour., Cuba or Brazil, is to be envied at this moment; and that, compared with those neighbours, the star of the British West Indies is in the ascendant. WRECK OF THE NORWEGIAN BRIG TO THE EDITOR OF THE IMPRESS. Slll,—As a visitor in this neighbourhood, I have been much affected by a very melancholy spectacle—the wreck of the Pearl, Norwegian brig, which took place on the 2nd inst., at Freshwater Bay. At two o'clock on that day I saw the gallant vessel riding at anchor, little con scious of her coming fate. Soon after three she parted her cable, and in a few minutes—minutes of agonising suspense . to those who witnessed it—she was driven stern (eternise the Arched Rock. I was told that in the early part of t day assistance had been offered to the captain by a steamer passing to tow the vessel into safer quarters bat that the terms demanded had been so exorbitant, t hat be did not consider himself justified in acceding to them. As reports upon this point differ, and as it is difficult to asaas• min the truth, my object in addressing you is to obtain, V possible, information as to the fact, and to inquire whether in Christian England there exists no law to restrain the mercenary trilling with life which such conduct exhibits. We should abhor the wretch who could leave a drowning fellow-creature to sink whilst bargaining with him for help, and what shall we say of men (can we call them men ?) who could foresee the probability of such a catastrophe (the individuals most concerned, u foreigners, ignorant of the extent of their danger), and in their sordid love of gnin leave them to perish ? If by inserting this in your paper you can promote investigation into this painfully interesting case, audio prevent future evil, you will much oblige Your obedient servant, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, HUALINITAS.

BALMORAL, Oct. 6. Her Majesty and Prince Albert attended divine service, yesterday, in the parish church of Cathie. The service was performed by the Rev. A. Anderson. The Viscountess Canning, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Earl Grey, and the gentlemen of the household, were in attendance. A meeting of the finance committee of the Royal Com mission for the Exhibition of 1851 was held, yesterday, at the Exhibition Building. There were present Earl Gran ville (chairman), Mr. Baring, M.P., Mr. Cubits, Colonel Reid, and Mr. Bowring (secretary). Mr. Cole, Mr. Billie, and Mr. Carpenter were alto present. The Oxford University Commission had a meeting, yes- terday, at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing -street. Present—The •Bishop of Norwich, the Dean of Carlisle, the Rev. H. Cf. Liddell, J. L. Dampier, Esq., the Bee. Professor Powell, the Ike. G. U. S. Johnson, and the Rev. A. P. Stanley (secretary). The Marquis of Lansdowne has arrived at the Grove, the seat of the Earl of Clarendon. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Governor of Canada. RETURN OF THE QUEEN. (By Electrk Tekitipb.) Her Majesty arrived in Edinburgh from Balmoral yesterday (Tueiclay) evening, at 8 o'clock. When the Royal train was within about 13 miles of Edinburgh one of the pipes of the boiler of the engine burst, which detained the train about an hour. The accident was not such as to create the slight est alarm to her Majesty. A fresh engine was sent from Edinburgh to bring the train in. Her Majesty was most enthusiastically received by the inhabitants of Edinburgh in her progress to liolyn,od palace, from which she will start for the south this (Wednesday) morning, at half-past eight o'clock. THE ROYAL VISIT TO WORFILET.—WoraIey, the teat of the Right Hon. the Earl of Ellesmere, alreauy begins to assume a very lively and animated appearance, in anti cipation of the arrival of the royal and distinguished visitors, sown% to grace the ball with their pretence. Numerous banners had been hoisted yesterday, and were seen flutter ing in the breeze from the hall uud almost every building in the vicinity. It is thought not unlikely that her Majesty will reach Worsley Hall soon after 4 o'clock on Thurs day afternoon. A noble and distinguished party aro ex pected to meet the royal visitors, including his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk and the Lady Mehra Howard, the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Earl and Countess of Derby, and the Earl of Sefton lord-lieu tenant of the county). The lady in waiting upon her Majesty will be the Viscountess Canning. The royal dinner party on Friday is expected to include Earl Cathcart, tho Lord Bishop of Manchester, and the Mayor of Manchester. We regret to say that the Earl of Ellesmere is still suffering acutely from gout, and is at the present moment confined to his room. The Lan• cashire 1 comanry Cavalry, of which the Earl of Ellesmere is the colonel, will be her Majesty's military escort at Weis ley. It consists of five troops; the Worsley troop, in the absence of its captain, Viscount Brackley, under the com mand of Lieut. Loch ; the Furness troop, under the com mando( Captain Michaelson; the Rockdale troop, under the command of Captain Crook ; the Wigan troop, under the command of Captain Lord; and the Bolton troop, under the command of Captain Langshaws. The regiment will be under the command of Major Gerard. We have already given rather full details in the Express of her Majesty's movements on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Saturday it is expected that the royal train will out have Patricrolt for the south till 12 o'clock at noon, and her Majesty has graciously condescended to receive the Seamy and other schools in the neighbourhood, including those for the children of the Earl of Ellesmere's work people at Worsli y, Elleuhrook, Walleden Moor, Row-green, and Edgefield. These schools will probably assemble at the north front of the hall, about 10 o'clock in the morning, and the mothers of the children are to accompany them, and to occupy the slopes immediately behind them. His Royal Highness Prwee Albert is expected, on Saturday morning, to go to Bolton, for the purpose of paying a hasty visit to the cotton ' mill of Messrs Gardner arid Batley, and witnessing the spinning, power-loom, and other machinery in motion. His Grace the Duke of Wellington is expected at Worsley this day. SUDDEN DEATH OF COUNT THE DANISH We learn, with deep regret, that his Excellency Count Recentlow, the Danish ambassador at St. James's, expired suddenly yesterday morning, about three o'clock, in the Star Hotel. His excellency had been on a visit to Sir James Matheson, at the Lewis, for the last five weeks, and arrived in Glasgow on Saturday evening, accompanied by the Countess Resentlow and his two daughters, the Ladies Itilda and Mulvina Recentlow, en route for London. His!excellency at that time seemed to be in good health, and he remained so until yesterday morning about three o'clock, when he became suddenly ill, and expired almost instantaneously. Dr. Macfarlane and Dr. Clark were called in without de lay, but it was of no avail. So far as could be ascertained without a particular post-morten examination of the body, a spasmodic affection of the heart was the immediate cause of death. Count &wallow has been for a considerable period the Danish ambassador at the British court, and his amiable disposition secured to him the esteem and attachment of all with whom his duties, official or other wise, brought hint into connection. During yesterday fore noon Sir James Anderson and Mr. Westenholz, the Danish consul, called at the Star hotel to offer their services to the Countess Reventlow, but her ladyship and her daughters had left for London by the express train in the morning. The corpse of the deceased was sent off by the evening train, Sir James Anderson, Mr. Westenholx. and Dr. Strang, the city chamberlain, accompanying the remains to the station. —North British Daily Mail. TIIE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. WOOLWICH, OCT, 6. The Resolute, Captain Horatio T. Austin, C. 8., the Assistance, Captain Erasmus Ommanney, and the In trepid, Lieut.. Commander John B. Cator, all arrived at Woolwich between twelve and one o'clock to-day, and the two sailing vessels were brought up at moorings opposite the dock-yard while Mr. Atherton, chief engineer, went on board the Intrepid screw steam-vessel acid went down the river a short distance in her to be able to report the state of her engines. The whole of the vessels employed under Captain Austin in the Arctic Expedition are to be paid off at this port on Thursday next. Captain Ommanney has brought home the first relic that was found by him of the traces of Sir John Franklin's party at Cape Riley. It appears in the form of a rake, such as are used by persons employed in collecting sea-weed. The handle is about twelve feet long and the gathering part about two feet six inches long, on which six teeth have been fixed about five Inches each in length, formed of narrow hoop iron curved inwards. Captain Ommanney has also brought home a young man, about nineteen years of age, of the Esquimau: tribe, who inhabit the country beyond Cape York, and near to the place where the North Star wintered in 1849. 'fhe Esquimaux youth is clothed in the same kind of costume as the other sailors, and appears remarkably good tempered and stout for his height, with • face of an Asiatic cad, nearly like the face of persons of Chinese origin, but very fiat and more round. The Esquimau: is very much attached to Captain Onimanney, and has been named Erasmus York, after the gallant officer who brought him to this country and the name of the Cape where he came from. The charts brought home by the respective vessels are now nearly completed, and afford evidence of the inde fatigable exertions of the officers in the execution of their arduous duties, and will add many hundreds of miles of hitherto unexplored lands to future maps of the Arctic regions, and many parts only put down in haste by former navigators have been corrected by Captain Ommanney. Bathurst and Cornwallis, both described as islands by former navigators, have been Maud connected together and to the mainland by Captain Austin's expedition. The officers and crews of the whole of the vessels have returned in excellent health, only one man having died since the expedition left Woolwich in June, 1850. The unanimity which prevailed, and the endeavours to amuse have had a most happy effect in preserving the health of all on board the vessels of the expedition during the long win ter in the Arctic regions. A Royal Arctic Theatre was opened on board her Majesty's ship Assistance. The following is a copy of the play bill, which was die played in the usual catch-line style of theatrical play bills: " Under the patronage of Captain lloratio Austin, C.B. On Saturday, the 9th of November, 1850, will be per , formed by the captain and officers, the popular laughable farce of Married Life, or did you ever send your Wife to Camberwell? After which several comic songs; and the orchestra will perform some of the most select pieces. The whole to conclude with the much admired farce of the Lottery Ticket, which will be performed by the ship's company, and embrace scenes of great interest. The scenery has been prepared by the most eminent artists, and, together with the dresses, are on a scale of unrivalled mag nificence. A splendid drop-scene by Lieutenant Browne. Doors open at 6 o'clock ; commence at 6.30. The polite are directed to take in charge all disorderly women and dogs. F. J. K., printer." An appropriate epilogue was spoken I at the close of the season on Feb. 28, 1851, and a number lof songs were composed and dedicated to Mrs. Austin by the authors, the whole being printed and circulated en board the vessels. John C. King, Esq., delegate from the branch of the Australian Anti-Convict League in Victoria, has arrived in town. The subscriptions in Victoria alone to resist the continuanoe of convict transportation to Australia amount to upwards of 0,000 sunless. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. word as to how far he intended to go with that rsttorm—nor with regard to the franchise for the ballot—now then was the time for the people to speak out, and let Lord John Russell know what were their real wants. (Cheers.) To whom did the country owe all it possessed ? To the work ing men; those industrious and ingenious bees made the honey, and to continue to deprive them of that right which every man should enjoy was a monstrous injustice. (Cheers.) The people distrusted sending petitions he knew ; but they must now petition the House of Cmumons from the town, the village, and the workshop. I. .:t them act for themselves, and induce all they could to join them in obtaining the franchise ; for without the middle classes they could not gain it. Let them make some sacrifice then tur this end, as they valued those rights which they were struggling to transmit to their children. They asked nothing but the constitution—that was aU ; the eoustitu lion in practice what it was in theory. (Loud cheers.) They were called upon thus early for the purpose of IrAng induced to enrol themselves members of that association, and by that means aid the cause he then appeared Limo them as an advocate of. Mr. RUPERT KETTLE next addressed the meeting at considerable length. Mr. BEAMISH then moved—. That the cordial union and energetic action of all reformers are now imperatively necessary; that the principles advocated by the Natioami Parliamentary and Financial Wham Association merit the support of the great body of the people of this kingdom ; and this meeting, consisting of reformers of every shade, pledge themselves to sustain the wellsdireeted efforts of that association by petitions to the House of Commons, and by every other means M their power." This was seconded by Mr. rituwAs hint., and, INS the others, carried Hen,. eon. Mr. Cl. THOMPSON, M.P., having addressed tl.c meet ing, a vote of thanks was given to the deputatiint !Or their great exertion; in the cause of reform generally, :tad in particular for their kindliest in atti oiling the melting un the present occasion.—The mcetiug then separated. " The cry is still, they eqme," at the Crystal Palace. People have hardly recovered their surprise at the vast numbers of Monday's gatherings, when they are exceeded by the assemblage of the following day. The rush began yesterday at the earliest possible hour. All the entrances were beseiged, and it required all the practised celerity of the money taker. to receive the 'silver shover that poured in upon them without ceasing. By 11 o'clock nearly 50,000 persons had obtained admission, and by twelve the outward stream was nearly as incessant, as if people considered the fact of passing through such a crowd quite enough for one day's amusement. The only pre cautions taken to preserve regularity were the placing of placards directing the visitors to the principal means of exit, and the presence of one or two of the executive com mittee at the most crowded entrance, to regulate the ad. missions. A rumour was spread that orders had been re ceived to limit the admission to 100,000, but there was no evidence of its existence in the conduct of the officials. All music was prohibited as tending . to congestion, and the guardian of the Queen of Spaii.'s diamonds thought it wiser to withdraw them from the pressure, but in every other respect the internal arrange ments were unaltered. Nothing could exceed the good conduct and good temper of the people. There was no pushing, no striving, no ill humour. When the crowd be came too dense for transit, they stood still, and tranquilly eat their saudwichea, and when passage was again attain able, they went on leisurely, taking time to pause with a spontaneous and instinctive discipline before every object worthy of observation. The result was that, although the throng looked almost impervious about the crystal fountain, where four streams of people were constantly 'netting, there was facility of passage through every other part of the building, and some places, such as the back settlements of America, and the western gallery behind the great organ, were almost empty. A large body, tired with their struggling promenade, took posession of all the seats in the various refreshment rooms, to the great interruption of trade, and consequent chagrin of the proprietors. But the sovereign people were there in all their might, and remonstrance or removal was out of the question. The only thing that tended materially to disturb the general harmony . was the frequent disruption of domes tic tics by the sweeping away of children from their parents by the billows of the great human torrent. The police station was filled several times during the day with squalling innocents; and a large detachment of the force might he constantly seen doing the duty of cart ful nursemaids in car rying the little "strays" to the harbour of range. Tnc cloak and umbrella stands were piled mountains high, and great delay and inconvenience was experienced in identify ing and recovering the deposited articles. As in yesterday s paper, we continue to give the numbers, showing the hourly growth of the leviathan assemblage : Ten o'clock Eleven „ Twelve ~ One Two „ Three „ Four „ It will be perceived that the numbers between 10 and 11 and between 11 and 12 were nearly equal, and that the influx regularly descended to the last hour. The police were of opinion that between one and two o clock there were ninety thousand persons actually within the building, and that there would have been another 10,040 but for the rain that fell in the early part of the day. There wen several schools present, the most considerable of which EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE ELECTION. The election of a member for the Enat Riding of Yorkshire, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Bit:whey, took place yesterday. The quiet town of Beverley, the capital of the riding, exhibited but very little more than its ordinary appearance. There had been some talk among the liberals of the town and district of tha appearance in the field of Lurd Mulgrave, the late member for Scarborough, who was rejected for that place u Pon his appointment to a post in the quesu'S househoid. Placards issued upon the morning of the election sipp.elial to the electors not to vote fur 0 Duncombe nod nervation," hint to give their suffrages for "Mulgrave and low rents," Mulgrave the farmers' friend." A noisy betel pa raded the streets, followed by a few representatives of "the liberal interest," with the radical colour, yellow. l'romincut in the proceseiou was a flle:lbeariug a poi. Malta large and a small loaf suspended thereon, and another bore a dead rabbit ticketed " for sale," in allusiou, we suppose, to the game lows. Ad this, however, was a niece pepu!ar effusion; the leading liberals kept themselves aloof; the election passed off very quietly, and no mention at all being made of Lord Mulgrave, the lion. Capt. Dancoraby was unanimously elected. The proceedings took place in the Court-house, which was not half filled. In the abwiteo of the hilt shit t tlf, rayon Daunay, Esq., who was prevented from attending by a domestic calamity, the under sheriff, Jaime Russell, Esq., presided. The initial formalities having been gone through, and the under sheriff having called upou any gen tleman who had a candidate to propose, Sir TAT TON SYKES proposed his honourable fri nd Captain Duncombe as a tit and proper person to represent the East Riding of the county of York in parliament, feei ing confident that the interests of the electors could not he in safer hands. Ile alluded to the honourable gentleman's long public services in the navy, and after wards, during 10 years, us a member of parliament for the hundred of Bassetlaw, during which long period hu had never once been charged with having neglected his duty, or with having been absent front his post when the interest of his constituents required it. Further than that, Capt. buncombe had nut, like too many others, swerved front those principles which lie had professed at the period of his election—conduct which, if every member of parha ' ment had imitated, would not have placed the liritish ' farmer iu that depressed position in which he anted at pre ' sent. Mr. J. It. PEASE, in seconding the nomination, reverted to the services of the lute member (Mr. Broadley), whom he was accustomed to second, as being connected some what with the commerce of the port of Hull. Mr. Pease remarked upon the consistent and zealous conduct of the deceased member in defence of protection and of preteetant institutions. The UNDER, SHERIFF inquired whether there was any other candidate to be proposed, and receiving no an swer, declared the lion. Captain Duncombe duly t trend us the representative of the East (tiding.—The hon. gentleman then returned thanks, anti the proceedings terminated. was the Norwich DIL-coat School, and the most delicate looking was the female one of one or the City parishes. We asked one of these poor little girls, who looked like so many !;71zikes in petticoats, where their school was situated, and hether they had any playground, and were answered that the school was situated in the salubrious locality of St. Mary Axe, and that their play-ground was the selio,l-room, the atmosphere of which is, no doubt, admirably prepared tar healthful recreation by the prc %ions consumption in 40 or 50 little girls during school hours. Among the orga nised parties were the whole of the workpeople of Mr. Nicolay, the eminent furrier of Oxford.strect, that gentle man having liberally treated them to a holiday and a dinner in the Exhibition room, paying all expenses. It appears that the visit of the Duke of Wellington on the previous evening was not the least hazardous exploit of his grace's long and brilliant career. The anxiety of the crowd to see and cheer the hero of a hundred fights was EU Free., that a considerable smash took place amongst the I rench glass, and all the exertions of the police were required to get his grace safely out of the building. A con-table supported him under each arm, and six men behind, under the direc tion of Mr. Pearce, kept the crowd back by main force until at last exit was obtained at the south transept. Ms grace was exceedingly discomposed by the tussle, and seemed to think that even popularity and public gratitude might run into excess. Not the least singular fact connected with the Exhibition isthat even now, in the eleventh hour, goods and curiosities continue to poui in from various ipuir'ters. A gentleman named White, of Montague-square, has been at the trouble to pierce a duck's egg shell with 130 holes to bang up, wo suppose, as a charm, in the Crystal Palace; and Mr. Istixton, of Arundel-street, sends a double decanter, calculated to contain port and sherry at the same time, neither having "any connection with the house over the way." In the way of exhibits of greater importance, splen did mosaics daily arrive in the Tuscan department, and the metallurgical section has been enriched by some very fine specimens of silver ore from the Silver Valley and Wheal Brothers Mines, near Callington. Thee arc exhibited in connection with some other Coraish minerals, sent by Mr. Welllsorne ' and numbered in the catalogue. These are very remarkable specimens in every way; they are exceedingly illustrative of the mode in which the metal occurs, nod show in a peculiarly charac teristic manner the clectro-chemical action under the in THE CHARGE OF FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY AT BRIGHTON. Yesterday an application was made to the Lord Chief Baron at the Judges' Chani , wrs, in Rolls-haiiiiings, Chancery-lane, in the CIL.' of " Bignell v. ruddy," au ac tion which has arisen out of the proceedings connected with the charge against Broome and others at Brighton. Mr. Sill, of *Livestock-row, the solicitor for the prosecu tion in the ease referred to, said he appeared on b: half of the defendant ruddy in the present action. lie then pro created to state that he had taken out a summon., calling on the plaintiff 'a attorney, Mr. John Ramon, of 29, South ampton-street, Strand, to show cause why he should not deliver to the defendant's attorney a statement in writing of the particulars of the plaintiff 's profesrion, eccupatiou, nr quality. and place of abode, pursuant to the 2nd Wm. IV., cap. 39, sec. 17. Ile stated that he made this applica tion on an affidavit setting forth that the required demand in writing had been made ou Mr. lion on the 2nd inst. It was further stated that simultaneously with the writ of summons in the action endorsed with the name of Mr. Rua son, a notice had been served on the defendant iu the Mem required by the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, demand ing payment of the sum of 1501., to which he would pre sently refer. That notice purported to be signed by the plaintiffin the action, and he was there described as Robert Richard Bignel, of 4, St. Mary's Abbotts-terrace, Kensing ton, in the county of Middlesex, gentleman. The affidavit further stated that t,.erc was reason to believe that the above description was not a true one ; that, on the contrary, It was incorrect ; and that it was material to the interests of the plaintiff that a true description should be obtained. Tho object of the action was to recover hack a sum of 1501., said to have been given by the plaintiff to the defendant in order that he might go to Brighton and justify as buil by swearing that he was worth a certain suns of money, the bail being on the part of a person named Nottage, who had been committed for trial un a serious charge, that of per jury, by the magistrates of dart town. The clerk for the plaintiffs attorney, submitted that the present proceeding was altogether unnecessary, as the de fend.urt had been furnished with the plaitniff 'a address already, and he could nut see, therefore, why the press:at demand should be made. fluence of which it has been deposited.

A meeting, in furtherance of the views of parlia mentary and financial reform, was held in St. Mary'e-hall, Coventry, last night, and was tolerably well attcuded. Sir Joshua Walrusley, M.P., Mr. Thompson, M.P. and Mr. Rupert Kettle, attended as a deputation from the National Retornt Association, and the meeting was presided over by the Mayor, Mr. JAMES SIBLEY IVIIITHAM. The CHAIRMAN in a few words expressed his perfect concurrence in the principles of the society, and hoped, as the present movement was not the commencement of an action, that Lord John Russell would cause parliamentary reform to assume a practical shape during the next session of parliament. It was the duty of the country advocating parliamentary reform to make known their principles and opinions in a cunstitutional and legitimate manner, so that whatever might he the feelings of Lord John Russell and government on the subject, some justice might be done them in the Commons of England. (Hear, hear.) Mr. IiItOWETT, a member of the corporation,then moved the first resolution , which was : That the iead of the government having intimated his intention to introduce a measure of parliamentary reform during the next evasion, the people should lose uo time in giving effective expression to their wishes ; this meeting du, therefure, declare that any measure that does nut re-arrange the electoral districts, extend the franchise to every occupier of a teuement or part of •tenement, protect the voter by the ballot, shorten the du ration of parliament, and abolish the property qualification required by members, will fail to satisfy the ju-t expecta tions of the people, will be ineffectual in preventing the corruption, intimidation, and oppression now prevailing at elections, and in securing the full and free represeutation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament." This was seconded by Mr. H. CiAIIDNEIL. Sir JOSHUA NV ALMSLEY, M.P., supported the reso lution. He said it was some time since he (Sir Joshua) bad had the honour of addressing the men of Coventry—it was some time since he stood upon that platform : but he well remembered that it was a promising meeting, and great re mits came from it. The men of Coventry since that period had done their duty nobly. (Cheers.) They had set an ex• ample, which, if every borough in England hail followed, they would not then be assembled for the purpose of agitat ing for parliamentary reform. (Hear, hear.) Let them, send to the House of Commons men worthy of Coventry. (Cheers.) In sending the man they had done to parliament the men of Coventry had taught the ministers a Leeson— they had rejected their nominee—(cheers)—and they had done right. (Hear, heae.) That man sprang from the people—he had advanced by his own industry—he woos one of themselves end well knew and uudendoed whit the I people wanted and required. (Hear.)
