THE ROYAL Picruar.s.—We have authority to AMe that the tine each day for the issue of tickets to view the rept pictures iu St. James's Palace, is from nine to one THE QUEEN'S BIRTH-DAY. During the whole of yesterday, which was ap pointed for the celebration of Her Maiedy's birth-day, the weather was t xceedingly fine, and the streets were crowded with multitudes desirous of witnessing the various public pro ceedings and spectacles. Among the mast attractive were the reviews. The customary military inspection of the household troops took place in St. James's-park. Shortly before elevc.a o'clock. the whole of the enrolled pensioners belonging to the Lendon district, including thole from Woolwich, were mustered in rev:ee' order in Hyde Park. Sir John klac-Jonald, Adjutant-General, and a nu merous staff, having arrived on the ground, were received with a general salute. Having been inspected, the pension ers then earthed past at slow and quick time, re-formed line and advanced by wings, each wing firing a volley. They were then formed Into battalions, each batta.ion firing a vol ley and retiring to the rear. At the conclusion of the cere mony, Sir John Macdonald advanced towards the troops, and expressed to Col. Talloch and the other officer, his high gratnieation at the accuracy with which the pensioners had passed through their evolutions, which he stated could not be excelled by any of the regular troops. At half part one o'clock the men were diimiesed, all those who came a dis tance of above five miles being billeted in London. To morrow morning they wiU mumble at eight o'clock in Hyde Park, to be inspected by H.R.11. Prince !abed and the Duke of Wellington. The Grand Duke Constantine will also be present. Another military spectacle took place at Woolwich. The troops of that garrison not on duty assembled on the comma at eleven o'clock, to the number of from 3,000 to 1,000 Sm. They consist clef the Royal Horse Artillery, Royal Artillery. Sappers and Miners, Road Marines, and the men belonging to the field batteries. A large number of recruits, who are passing through the so riota stages of drill, were drawn up in two twinge in the rear, without arffis and accoutre ments, and the burl of each corps accompanied the troops, the Royal Artillery band being stationed in the centre of the right and left wing of that carpi. The whole of the troops were under the command of Lieut-Colonel C. Cruttenden, inspector of drills. Shortly before 12 o'clock, Major-General Sir T. Downman, coat =lndent of the garrison, attended by a numerous staff of royal artillery and royal engineer officers, arrived on the ground, and took up his statton in front of the troops, and the British ensign was hoisted. At 12 o'clock the proceedings commenced by the Royal Horse Artillery firing a royal salute at twenty-one guns, which was followed by • feu de joie along the whole line. This was continued three times, the bands between the salutes playing " God save the Queen." The field batteries and the horse artillery having fired three rounds each, the men throughout the line gave three hearty cheer , . The commandant and hie staff then rode up the front and down the rear of the line, and the troop■ having mar• bed past, the staff filed off and returned to their respective barracks. At the close of the military spectacles, crowds of spectators stationed themselves near the approaches to St. James's Palace, to observe the company arrive to attend the drawing room—the most crowded and brilliant of the present reign.

A meeting of the electors of the above-named borough was held yesterday evening, at the Horns, Kenning ton, to " consider the parliamentary conduct of the present representatives, Messrs. D'Evncourt and Hawes, to approve or disapprove of the same, and to adopt such resolutions to the meeting may appear expedient." The chair having been taken by Mr. John Biggs, Mr. Lee Stevens, honorary secretary to a committee of electors, read the following letters from the sitting members, in renewer to a communication inviting their attendance at the present meeting London, May 20, 1847. Sir,--We beg to acknowledge your letter kited yeamrdaY, and beg to assure you that upon a requisition sa sanctioned and advertised as to ensure a large and general meeting of the excitors of Lambeth, we shall easily avail ourselves of such an opportunity for giving every ex planation which our public cooductmay appear to require. We think, however, that there is scarcely time for due notice before next Than. diy ; and that being the Queen's birthday, we have special engage. silents connected with It; and others may, also, for the same reason, be unable to attend. We hope, therefore, that some Liter di, may be ound equally convenient to the gentlemen who call the meeting ; and we shall be obliged by your reply—We remain, sir, your most obetii ent servants, B. &MOO ' CHARLES Tosotoox re EON oOr or.—To J. L. Stevens, Esq. London, Slay 21, 1547. Sir,—Since writing our letter last night, we have seen the meeting advertised In the Times newspaper; and I am (we are) sure you will see. that as it does not appear to be called by a body of electors, we could not attend It without creating a precedent which would be very inconvenismt ; although we ere ready to attend nay general borough meeting duly convened. As we before explained. a meeting on the 27th that. would clash with our positive engagements for cele brating the Queen's birthday.—We remain, Mr, your most obedient servants, B. Ilawm, CILAILES TCONY D'ETOCOVAT. —To J. L. Stevens, Eaq. Another letter was sent by Mr. Stevens, pressing Messrs. Hawes and D'Eyncourt to attend. The reply was as follows : - - " -• •-•- London, May 24, 1847. Sir,--We have receive d yours of the 21th Mot, winch requests an answer this day, We can only refer to our former letter.; and, so you do not even give the name of a single elector concerned in calling the meeting, awl as it has not been announetal with the sanction and notice there suggested, we must decline attending it en a great pub lic holiday, for the celebration of which we, and probahly others, have formed engagements. With regard to our own interests, to which you refer, wr lore none connected with the borough of Lam beth distinct from thee, of our constituents; and we rely upon our conviction that they will approve the couror we are now tal.ng. We remain, sir, your most obedient servants, B. Ilswes, Citutua Tea. arms n'Evactontr.—J. Lee Stevena,Esq. • • • . . The BAIT. /OEN BURNET, amid mach uproar and inter ruption, proceeded to move the first resolution, the purport of which was, that Mr. Has es, having recently voted against the entire and immediate repeal of the corn-laws, against the extersion of the suffrage, and the repeal of the ratepaying clauses of the Reform Bill, in favour of the continunace of ' corporal punishment and of the grant to Maynooth ; also, having accepted office without previous conferecee with his constituents, had more or less deviated from the views of the 1 1 latter, and that, therefore, the meeting disapproved of his conduct. The rev. speaker proceeded to state why lie dis approved of Mr. Ilawea' conduct. He disapproved of aay man who would out of the public purse provide means of education for any religious denomination. (Cheers and interruption.) He would object to receiving the money of the state himself, and, therefore, he objected to its being given to any other religious denomination. (Hear, Lear.) He objected to the miuntes of the Council of Education, because they went to put men apprentices to learn the trade of schoolmaster, and if they proved unfit handed them over to the customs or excise, thus maintaining them at the public expense. (Hear and uproar, and cries of " Why not? ") If the people were to be edu cated by the government, they would be educated for the government, and he would ask what was to become of the independence of Englishmen, if they were to receive their education from the government? (Cheers.) The rev. gentleman concluded, amid much noise and clamour, by reading the resolution. Mr. FELLER seconded the resolution. The speaker re viewed the parliamentary conduct of Mr, Hawes, complain ing principally of his votes on the Maynooth grant, and on Mr. Villiers' motion for the immediate and total repeal of the corn-laws. He said that if Mr. Hawes had eighteen 1 months previously come before his constituents, and told them the course he was about to take, he would have been met by universal disapproval. Mr. GRADY, an el,ctor, defended the parliamentary con duct of Mr. Hawes, particularly with reference to the May nooth grant, which he contended was merely a measure of partial restitution. As to the corn-laws, they were defunct, and could only be then alluded to in a spirit of wanton hos tility to Mr. Hawes. The question of the rate-paying chutes of the Reform Bill was also about to receive a eatitfactory solution, inasmuch LI Lord John Russell intended immedi ately to introduce a bill on the subject. Mr. Grady con cluded by moving an amendment on the last resolution to the effect that Mr. Hams' parliamentary conduct during the long period of fourteen years had been such as to entitle him to the confidence of the electors. Mr. MEAD, in seconding the amendment, said that only three votes of Mr. Hawes had been brought forward, upon which it was proposed to condemn him. The hon. member, however, had voted for Mr. Villieri'motions fora repeal of the corn laws, when Lord John Russell opposed them, although certain gentlemen who talked about " charity" had spoken of the noble lord as the master of Mr. Hawes. (Hear, and laughter.) He had voted for Mr. Ward's mo tion for an inquiry into the peculiar burdens upon land; he had voted for Bir John Easthope's motion to abolish church-rates ; for Mr. Ward's motion to inquire ' into Irish church temporalities ; had voted for the grant to Maynooth (cheers and great uproar;; and, finally, he had voted against a purely secular education, because dimwit= would not allow the bible to be excluded in any Teeth of education. (Hear, hear.) The opposition of the dissenters made it clear that they were more afraid of Church of 1 Englandism than of ignorance. (Cheers, and cries of " No no.") There were in this country. at the present time, five millionsi of children who could neither read nor write— (hear, hear)—and the dissenters objected to their education because they thought that the Church of England would reap the benefit of it. The speaker proceeded to defend the conduct of Mr. Hawes, and concluded by an earnest appeal to the meeting on his behalf. Mr. M'Ctoen could not find it in his heart to oppose Mr. Hawes merely because he had given only one or two objec tionable votes, when his general parliamentary career was unobjectionable. After a few words from a Mr. Bnower, Mr. FALL com pleined that a day had been fixed for the meeting on which it was impossible fur either of the members to attend. Mr. Fall attempted to address some further observations to the meeting in defence of tae political conduct of Mr. Hawes, but the noise and confusion was so great, that he was obliged, after several vain efforts, to resume he seat. The Rev. J. Bertear having replied, the CHAIRMAN put the amendment to the meeting, and a show of hands having been taken, it was declared to be negatived. Mr. Thostee Heaver thought the electors ought in justice to give Mr. Hawes an opportunity of meeting the electors face to face, and defending his conduct—(cheers) and if be were found to have betrayed the trust reposed in him, berithould like to see Mr. D. W. Harvey substituted for the present member, but he was sure that Mr. Harvey would not like to come in behind the back of the present member; he should, therefore, move that the meeting be adjourned fora week, in order to give the sitting members an opportunity of explaining their conduct to their con stituent'. (Loud cheers.) The amendment was then put, and negatived. The original resolution, disapproving of the conduct of Mr. Hawes, was next put, and carried by a large majority. The Rev. W. MIRAMS then moved a resolution, expressing disapproval of the parliamentary conduct of Hr. D'Eyneourt. The motion having been seconded, was declared to be cats ried, an amendment, the object of which was, to adjourn the meeting for a fortnight, having been negatived, Mr. Ritisoron proposed that a requisition be presented to Mr. D. W. Harvey, inviting him to become a candidate for the borough of Lambeth at the next election. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN stated that the committee who had been instrumental in convening the meeting, had written to Mr. D. W. Harvey, to impairs if he would object to become a candidate, and his reply would be read if the meeting wished it. A scene of great uproar ensued, amidst which several voices exclaimed "Read, reed." The following letter was then read : Old Jewry, Kay K.

Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting eparated. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. I Yesterday a monthly meeting of the magistrates of the county of Middlesex wan holden at Hicks'-hall, Gerken- ; well, to transact general county business. Mr. Pownall presides]. UNNECESSARY TWICE/MlL—From the report of the com- 1 mirtee of Recounts, &e., it appears that from April 3rd to May 14th, Mr. Balser had holden 120 inquests, the charge for which was 3921. 7s. 6d. ; Mr. IVakley from March 22 to May 11,175 inquests at a coat of 4721. 19s. 24. ; and Mr. Bedford had holden 18 inquests during the month of April at a ocistof 571. 10s. 64.—Mr. Wm's, and other magistrates condemned the holding of inquests in cases where it was evident the parties had met a natural death.—Mr. ROTCII directed the attention of the court to a eau of one of the magistrates of the county, upon whom, althsugh he died in his own house, surrounded by his friends and domestics, the coroner for the district had thought proper to hold an inquest. He would ask where was the necessity for such a step ? He condemned the system as an invasion of the privacy of families—an exposition of whose private affairs could be uo benefit to the public. It was high time the matter was brought forward in the House of Commons. After some further discussion, in which a strict investigation into the matter was suggested, it wan re solved that the items, so far as it regarded the coroners' charges, should be printed and circulated before the next meeting. COLDBATTI FIELDS ROUSE OF CORRECTION.—The report of the visiting justices of this prison, which spoke in satis factory terms of its sanitary condition, was read. It appears there were 815 male and 270 female prisoners, and 16 children confined at present therein.—Mr. Rose condemned the practice of employing men to watch the wards of the prisoners by night. The report was then received. WESTMINSTER HOUSE OP CDRRECTION.—Upon the re part from this prison being read, Mr. Waxesnv called the attention of the court to the system pursued at present with regard to the admission of attorneys into the prison, to con sult with the prisoners. As far as the authority of a gover nor of a prison, and the rights of the prisoners, were con cerned, it was an important matter. Some months ago, a very troublesome and vexatious person was refused admis elan into Westminster-prison, from some good cause. This individual addressed a complaint to the Scoreterpsf State, that the governor had refused him conversational intercourse with his cheat; and it was in consequence of this that he (Mr. W.) braught the matter before the court, in the hope that some written instructions for the guidance of the officers might be framed. There were a set of men who procured entrance into the prison to see untried prisoners for the purpose of getting up defences, but they were literally impostors, who lived by fleecing prisoners and their friends in the most cruel and barefaced manner. ' These persons represented themselves as clerics to respectable attorneys, and thereby imposed upon the governor. He moved that the matter be referral to the three committees of visiting justices.—Mr. LAU we mentioned a case which happened at the Central Criminal Court, where a poor igno , rant Irishwoman was denuded of 201. by one of these sham i lawyers. None bat recognised respectable legal practitioners were now admitted into News:tate, and a similar course in regard to these prisons would be beneficial. The motion • was carried unanimously. The report was then received. FEMALE LABOUR ON THE TREADWKEEL.—ME. WALESBY r introduced this subject, discussed at the last meeting, when the votes were equal. After come discussion, it wan unani mously agrecd that, as far as regards female prisoners, the treadwheel should be abolished. IRISH REFORTERS.—A leader in the Times of Tuesday contains the following passage: "The Celtic labourer, bricklayer, hodmon, navigator, or reporter in London, has similar salient points of character and disposi tion. H^ gets drunk, fights, half kills his dearest friend who lives in the same court, in reminivence of a fsmily feud, and then kills his wife in the contrition of sobriety.' Of this, some one published in the Morning Herald of yesterday, the following truly Hibernian refutation : " Will you permit me, sir, through the columns of your journal, to call upon my fellow-countrymen connected with the profession of which I am a member, to concoct some plan whereby a writer in a daily newspaper, whose good taste has penned the above paragraph, may be made to feel how highly the compliment is valued by every man who is, like me, an Irish Reporter." Irish gentlemen who report for the press, will not be very much obliged to their volunteer champion. They can very well afford, as a class, to leave the off hand libel of the Times to the silent refutation of their own conduct. Consi dering, however, the paper in which it appears, the letter is likely to be a hoax. BRITISH AND FOREIGN UNITARIAN ASSOCIATION. —On Wednesday morning, after a sermon had been preached in aid of its funds, the 22nd annual meeting of the above so ciety was held at the New °rival-pit Chapel, Hackney. Mr. Christie took the chair. The treasurer's report reminded the members of the society that last year there had been a balance due to the treasurer of 261. 18s. ' • while at the close of the year there remained a balance in band of 2131. 2.1. bd. The total receipts of the year, including 6211. 15s. 6d. in subscriptions and donations, were 8281. 14s. 10d., which was about the average. The disbursements had been 6881. 14s bd., leaving a balance of 2401. Os. sd. The report of the commit tee gave an account of various sums siren to different previa dal and foreign unitarian congregations in 'id, ef the Ikea minister, for repairing chapels, &c., which sums alma 251. to 51. Grants to a like amount had been made MI the form of tracts. Much discussion arose upon a passage fa the report relating is the acknowledgment of a bertain invi tation sent from Boston, in America, and signed by fifteen unitarian ministers, to the unitarians of England, to visit those of America. The formal and recorded acknowledgment ef this letter, it was contended, should not be made, union Ig was known that nore of those by whom it was signed bald slaves, or, even if they did not one and all oppose slavery, and that actively : it was known that one member at least of the American Unitarian Association was a slave ' holder. Against the asserters of these and similar reason ings it was contend. d that the letter in question was not sent from any association, or to any . association, and that, consequently, an acknowledgment given iu the same friendly feeling expressed therein could not commit them in any way. Dr. Barring, M.P., considered that the committee were per fectly right in the course they had pursued, which, he con tended, if it did nothing more, by leading to the present discussion, would teach their friends on the other side of the water, that, before they could hope to have any friendly con nexion with the unitarians of England, they must utterly cast off the taint of that stigma oa the human species— slavery. The objection was finally overrule?, and the report ' was adopted, together with various complimentary resolu tions, when, at four o'clock, the meeting adjourned to a public breakfast at the Ma.uor-house Assembly Rooms, Dr. Bowring, M.P., presiding. Here between 200 and 300 persons sat down, and, thanks to the unremitting attentions of the stewards, who made up for the deficiency of waiters, all seemed well pleased. After breakfast, the meeting was addressed by Dr. Bowrieg and several unitarian ministers. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT SUDBURY GROVE, Hanaow._Yesterday afternoon, shortly before one o'clock a most serious fire broke out upon the premises belonging to T. A. Altree, Esq. ' known as Sudbury Grove, Harrow. The flames originated, from some cause that could not be ascertained, in the coachhouae, a timber erection, which was surrounded by numerous other buildings, amongst which were the slaughter-houses, stabling, cow-lodges, and kennels, extending exactly 189 feet in length. Upon the discovery being made, an alarm was given in the usual way, and in the space of a few minutes a number of the villagers has toned to the spot to render assistance, but, notwithstanding their strenuous exertions to subdue the fire, it continued to spread from building to building, until at last they had wisely two hundred feet of flame to cope with. The parish moire were as quickly as possible got to the spot, but the Ike hied obtained too great a mastery to be extinguished by ttis only, and an express was therefore sent to Lon don /sr other engines. The moment the news was sonshod in town Mr. Garwood started of with the County amino Inns the Regent-circus, and was followed by OM Wapasest Brigade engine, with Mr. Staples, the Arm= of dm &Mkt, and Mr. Connorton with the West of England firemen and engine. With as little delay as poemble the firemen set to 'work, but they were unable to get the fire subdued until the several buildings occupying the above space, were levelled with the ground, and the valuable contents consumed. The villagers and firemen were instrumental in saving from totil destruction the larder and rooms over the coachman's dwelling-house, but the roof wan burned off and the buildings severely injured by fire. The total damage is very considerable; for, besides the destruction of the above-named property the trees in the gardens are many of them burnt, and a de • al of furniture and other effects arc severely injured by removal. The contents of the premises ware uninsured; but it is under stood that the buildings were insured in the County or Hand-in-Rand-office. INQUESTS, YESTERDAY. •—• MANSLAUGHTER. —By adjournment, before Mr. W. Payne, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Peter Doyle, a tailor, aged 29, of No. 11, Bell-alley, Throgmortonwtreet, whose death was caused by a man named -Fitzgibbon. On Saturday night lest the deceased, who was related to Fitzgibbon, called upon the latter at his residence in Dunning's-alley, Bishopegate, and during the night drank a considerable quantity of liquor. Between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning a quarrel took place arising out of jeJousy on the part of Fitz gibbon, and a fight ensued. According to the dying state ment of the 4 , :ceosed, Fitsgibtroo threw lira from tie top of the stain to the bottom, and on letting into the yard jumped with his knees on his belly. This was said in the presence of Fitsgibbon, who, instead of denying it, said he hoped he had killed him, at the same time making use of the most dis gusting language. The deceased, after suffering great pain, was removed to the hospital, where he died shortly after his admission. Mr. Haigh, house-surgeon, said he had made a post marten examination, and found the cause of death to arise from rupture of the bladder, produced, no doubt, from the deceased having been knelt upon, and not from the fall. The jury returned • verdict of "Manslaughter against Thomas Fingibbon," and the coroner made out his war rant fur committal on the capital charge.—Suerictoue DIATIL —On Wednesday, before Mr. C. J. Cartier, at the Crown and Anchor tavern. Woolwich, on the body of Alex. ander Thompson, who was last seen on the sth hut., in aim psny with a Illsllnained Spencer, now under remand on bail, anspected of having caused his death, Spencer having been towed with the clothes of deceased in his possession.—The jury returned an open verdict of " Found drowned." ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD v. NORTH Essex.—The present representa tive for North Rues, and the probable candidate for the university of Oxford, being present at the dinner of a provident benefit society, on Monday last, in the neighbourhood of his own mansion, Birch Hall, near Colchester, his health was proposed by the chairman, Sir G. H. Smyth, Bart., who observed that there was one subject which he could not keep away from, and therefore he would out with it at once. He alluded to the difficult position in which his friend Mr. Round had so unexpectedly keen placed. No one would regret mere than himself that that gentleman should retire from the representation of the northern division of the county ; but considering the very high honour which had been offered him, he should have been extremely sorry had be declined to accept it. True, it was not concluded that he would be member for Oxford, but such was his (Sr Henry's) firm belief; and if the decision rested with himself, he should be, not only because he entertained for him such high respect, but because he held his opponents in such high de testation. lie should be ashamed to advocate the cause of Mr. Gladstone, or Mr. Cardwell, because they had be trayed the farmers and betrayed their church. But his friend Mr. Round was not only • geed churchman, but a clever man, an honest man, and, in short, just the man to represent Oxford. If he were not so he would not be supported by the right party there; and he (Sir Henry) was convinced that Oxford, which did its duty in kicking out Sir R. Peel, would administer the same treatment to his obsequious followers in this instance. He wished, however, to explain one thing: At Oxford these matters, instead of awaiting the day of election, were usually settled beforehand by the members of the university, and this decision would not be known for about a fortnight. Therefore, as there was of course a possibility of his not suc ceeding, he woula have his present constituency wait with patience that short period and see the result. No harm could be done, as there would then be ample time to put for ward another candidate, and it was no more than, as an old and tried friend, he had a right to expect at their hands, so that, failing at Oxford, they might again return him for North Essex.—Mr. Round, in responding to the toast, said that the intimation conveyed to him a short time since (from a body of reverend and learned men, to whose favourable opinion he could not but attach great respect), that be was considered riot an unfit person to succeed Mr. Estcourt in the representation of Oxford, took him quite as much by sur prise as it had done his friends in this county. All, however, with whom he had conversed, whether members of the House of Commons or of his own constituency, had been of opinion that he would have failed in his duty had he not at once consented to respond to the cal. He must therefore take the liberty of saying that he had the highest authority for venturing upon the step; and he had consented to do so, not because he wished to retire from the representation of North Essex--such a thought was furthest from his mind —but because he considered it a point of duty to eater upon another field of service profferred to him. During the ten years he had eat in parliament he bad been treated by his constituents with the most liberal confidence; few bad received a lees number of representations as to the course he was expected to take upon particular questions ; he had endeavoured ti pursue throughout an independent course—voting with the government upon questions where he felt them to be right, or where their own adherents pressed upon them measures of a questionable leniency; and against it, when the propositions brought forward were such as he could not conscientiously support. In conclusion, he wished to express his deep ariee of the confidence reposed in him, and to beg that it might be con tinued to him through three short weeks or a month longer. The above being the first public declaration which the hen. gentleman bag had the opportunity of making upon hie con templated retirement from the representation of North Essex, it was listened to with the greatest attention by the company, which consisted almost entirely of his con. stituents. SCOTLAND.—The expected retirement of Mr. Oswald has excited many rumours regarding the representation of Glas gow. Besides Mr. M'Greger, there have been mentioned the names of Mr. Grote, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Leadbetter, Mr. W. Buchanan, and Mr. H. Dunlop. The four last are Glasgow citizens, and, with the exception of Mr. Dixon, it is doubt ful if any of them have any serious intention of standing. Speirs, one of the candidates for the Stirling burghs, being said to be in delicate health, it is reported that Lord Dalmeny will again bo requested to come forward.—A re. uuisition to Lord John Hay has been sent off from Greenock, signed by about 280 electors. At the last contest, Mr. Dunlop polled 314, and the total constituency is 1,094.—At Kirk cudbright, it is said that the expected retirement of Lord Moncrieff from the bench will elevate Mr. Maitland to a judgeship, in which case Mr. Oswald will take his place in parliament. and Mr. James Moncrieff his gown as solicitor general.—For East Lothian, another candidate is named, in the person of Sir David Baird, who, on the subject of entail, and other agiicultural points, holds popular views; but on the gamy - laws he is said to be vacillating, and on that ques tion the farmers are determined to nail their colours to the mast. COLOR ESTER.—The following letter from Mr. D. W.

Your: CITY.--A correspondent says:—" The reptesenta tion of this ancient city will, in all probability, be again entrusted to Sir J. 11. Lowther, and E. H. Yorke, Esq. It is well ascertained that neither party can carry two members, and the present representatives have gained the esteem of r the citizens by their attention to the local interests of the City," WAKIMICLD.—On Wednesday afternoon, a meeting of the friends of Sir E. N. Buxton, Bart., was held in the Committee-room of the Corn-Exchange-buildings, at Wake field, at which it was determined that Sir Edward should be withdrawn Irom the contest for the representation of the borough, notwithstanding that a requisition to him had been fur some days in course of signature. The friends of Mr. Sanders boast of the success of their canvass ; the supporters of Mr. Alexander, the anti-ministerial education candidate, are slso buoy amongst the electors. SAN nwlcu.—The electors of the united borough of Sand wich, Deal, end Weimer, are on the alert, Sir Timm Troubridge having signified his intention to retire oneesesme of ill hi altb, and en address having been published by Lori Clarence Psget, R.N., private secretary to the Master Oahe. eel of the Ordnance, offering himself as a candidate. Mr. C. W. Orenfell, son of C. Pasco Orenfell, thit _mew chant and bank director, has also announeedi limit el liberal principles. We do not find that the Torieszsc pared with a candidate—indeed a content would be —Kea Herald. BUCILINOHAMEINIRE.—The Hon. C. C. Cavendish hes an nounced his intention of offering himself to the electors as a candidate at the neat election, upon the retirement of the lion. Mr. Fit:mini ice. The hon. candidate pledges himself, in his addrevs, " to give an independent support to her Ma , jelly's pieeent government, with a determination, at the same time, to resist any measure calculated in the least de gree to damago the future prospects of the agricultural in terest." IRELAND. DUBLIN, MAT 26. Of the remains of Mr. O'Connell, when they are to arrive, and how to be honoured, nothing is yet known. At a meeting of the Repeal Association held to-day, which was very fully attended, and where much more 1 feeling was manifested than among the great bedy of the people. The following address to the nation was adopted, partly of condolence and partly of in gestion : "THE ADDRESS OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSO. CIATION TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. "Fellow-countrymen—O'Connell is no more! The eni mating spirit of Ireland has posed away ! The light of the nation is extinguished! " Weep, and wail, and let your grief be without limit, 0 children of Ireland, for the cup of your affliction is full, and the extent of your suffering without measure. The pride of your hearts has been stricken down—the bright one of Erin is removed—the Liberator of our country bu departed! " With a season of sorrow it has pleased the Almighty to afflict us to the uttermost—pestilence and famine blight our people—in a foreign country, far away from his own loved native land, low lies the champion of Ireland's liberties. "Oh, well may we mourn him, for the whole human race race deplore his loss, and the gloom of our bereavement afflicts the world. " Fellow-countrymen, how shall we best prove that we loved him whilst living, or mourn for him when dead ? By reverencing his principles—by . obeying his dictates—by pursuing the same noble objects in the peaceful steps he trod. " In one sense in the true sense, O'Connell is not dead! Men like unto him can never die; all that was mortal hu passed away, but the immortal part remains. His spirit, fellow-countrymen, abides with you. His moral teachings are spread for ever through you, and through the universe. No tine can extinguish the lessons of his wisdom. " For ourselves, associated as we were here by hint, our purpose is determined to stand by his principles, and to abide by his doctrines, and by them alone. This is our fixed and unalterable resolve. " Throughout the wide world a mighty void is felt; who shall fill it up? What nation—what people has not lost a benefactor? Our country has lost its guide and leader. Oh, let that country still be directed by his wisdom, and be mar shalled beneath his standard. " His paths were the paths of peace. He walked in the ways of the law and of order. Remember, still remember, the motto of his association, the moral of his wisdom and experience—' The man who commits a crime gives strength to the enemy. " By his long and faithful service—by the noble example of his life—by the glory of his immortal name—we beseech, we implore you, fellow-countrymen, swerve not from the principles, desert not the objects, nor abandon the doctrines of O'Connell. "Cutts sues M.Lorontisi, "T. M. Ray, Secretary." " Chairman of ,he Meeting." The committee of the Reproductive Society ad journed yesterday, in consequence of O'Connell's death. The name of the new body has been fixed as "The Irish CounciL" . . . . The board of health have issued a long circular for the information of the relief committees on the ques tion of sanitary precautions. After quoting the 9th and 16th sections of the fever act, the board suggest that, in reference to cleansing and purifying the diiel liege of the poor, the relief committees may secure the services of the able-bodied destitute in removing col lections of manure, contents of ash-pits, by a trifling addition in rations or money. Among other suggestions, a short pointed notice is recommended for circulation, impressing on the people the necessity of avoiding wakes and places of assembly which both germinate and diffuse infection. To induce cleanli nese of clothing and person, some committees hays adopted a rule of insisting on an outward cleanly ap pearance from the recipients of gratuitous relief. This regulation it is proposed to extend by establishing washhouses on a simple plan, to be kept open a certain number of hours each day, with a drying room attached. On the interment of the dead, the following suggestions are offered, which are not likely to be universally acted on:—" That graves should invariably be sunk to a depth of five feet; that the surface of each grave should be beaten hard ; that where burials have already taken place, leaving the coffins nearer to the surface than five feet, clay should be carted in to cover the graves to a sufficient depth, and that, wherever obtainable, yellow clay should be preferred for this purpose; and, finally, that wham new graveyards are opened, localities should be se lected at least a quarter of a mile from any town, vil lage, or hospital, in a sufficiently exposed situation to prevent the accumulation of malaria." Lord Clarendon arrived this morning by the'. Medina steam-vessel, specially placed at his service, and at three o'clock, P.M. precisely his excellency, was sworn Lord Lieutenant with the usual formalities, which are thus given : At three o'clock precisely, after a short conference, their excellencies the lords justices intimated to the Earl of Clarendoa that the members of her Msjesty's Most Honour able l'rivy Council were assembled in the Council Chamba, and in readiness to administer the oaths to his lordship, in the usual manner. A procession was then formed, and his lordship proceeded to the Council Chamber, where their excellencies the lords justices and the privy councillors, being seated, covered, the Earl of Clarendon standing uncovered , I on the right hand of the lords justices, his lordship delivere d to their excellencies her Majesty's letters patent, appointing him Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, which was then handed to the Clerk of the Hanaper, who read the sane aloud. After the letters patent had been read, the oath of Chief Governor was administered to Lis lordship by the Lard Bishop of Meath, and then the usual oaths were admix's. tered to his lordship by the Clerk of the Council, the Privy Councillors being uncovered during the administratioa the oaths. The Earl of Clarendon then produced to the lards tires her Majesty's letter, authorising and co them to deliver the Sword of State to his lordship ; which being read by the Secretary of State, the lords justices de livered the Sword of State to the Earl of Clarendon accord ingly, and invested him with the Collar and Insignia of the Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick, as Grand Master thereof, and his excellency thereupon took his 'eat covered, at the Council Board, as Lieutenant-General and General Governor of Ireland ; upon which, a signal being given by a roceet from the Castle Yard, the ordnance in the Park fired a salute of fifteen guns, When the Council rose, his excellency proceeded from the Council Chamber to the Presence Chamber in the same order and state as observed in the procession to the Council Chamber, his excellency taking the place of the lords jus tices; the Sword of State, carried by a Lord of the Council, the Maces by the Sergeants-at-Arm, was placed under the canopy in the Presence Chamber upon his excellency taking his seat on the throne, during which time the ordnance, upon signal as before, fired three rounds of twenty-one guns. The following Members of the Council were in attend ance :—The Lord Bishop of Meath ; the Earl of Meath ; the Earl of Donoughmore ; the Earl of Cloncurry ; the Earl of Charlemont ; Lord Talbot de Malahide ; the Master of the Rolls; the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench ; the Lord Chief Baron ; Sir Patrick Bellew, Bart.; Baron Rich ards ; Mr. Justice Ball; Mr. Justice Perrin ,• the Recorder; the Attorney-General; Judge Keatinge; and Mr. Kennedy. His excellency, upon reaching the Presence Chamber, took his seat upon the throne, mid held an undress levee, when the noblemen, tic. who attended the Council, together with the o ffi cials consecied with the viceregal suite, and a few others, were presented. There is a rumour to-day that Mr. Tuffnell is to succeed Mr. Labouchere in the Chief Secretaryship, and that he is to be succeeded at the Treasury by Mr. --*- , ohen French, member for Roscommon. STATURITE D'Orsay has pre sented his statuette of O'Connell to the committee of the Ousted Relief Society in Dublin, with tho moulds and ne cessary apparatus for taking casts. Re writes to say that he stakes the committee a present of the copyright of the figure, and transmits the models in the hope that the sale of the cuts will realise a sum which may assist in relieving the distress of the poor. MI:RDIS. IN TIPPIIIIARY.—This county was, a few nights since, the wee of another frightful murder. The object oi vengeance was a poor man named Dillon, bailiff on the pro perty of Mr. Manning, who resides near Thorley. Dillon was to have prosecuted some tenants of his employers, on Saturday last, for having taken forcible possession of pre mises from which they had been ejected. On Friday night he was beaten to death. BUCCANECHINO. — The underwriters at Lloyd's have had their attention directed, by some unpleasant applications, to the petty piracy practised on some portions of the west coast of Ireland. Some ships laden with corn had recently been boarded in pasting or lying to by the country boats, and portions of the cargo taken away. Applications were made by the shippers to the underwriters for the value, but the latter refused all compensation, referring the owners to the provisions of " The Malicious Damage Act," and they, moreover, declined for the future to insure any cargoes on board vessels freighted with provisions for Ireland. „ SCOTLAMD. EDINBURGH, MAT 26. The Kilmarnock Herald says, " Within the last few days it has come to oar knowledge that sche dules have been sent by government to various agri cultnrists residing in Ayrshire, requiring answers in reference to the state of the growing crops in this county." It was formerly mentioned that a London house had commenced an action against a Paisley establish ment for pirating fabric desic t A similar suit has been commenced against a G w firm, and as these things go by contagion, a menu turer in the latter place has come down upon a Kilmarnock worker, and, of course, if Galashiels has been nibbling with any of the " Killie " patterns we shall hear more of this new kind of litigation. DUNFERMLINE ABBEY.-A Ho/A.—As formerly men tioned, the Commissioners of Woods and Forests are engaged is the renovation of this venerable pile ; and in referring to the cirmunstanco a correspondent of the North British Ilea gives an amusing account of the failure of a previous intention of restoration. At the discovery, in 1820, of the remains of King Robert the Bruce, the Barons of the Exchequer assembled around the tomb at the re-interment, and gave • 1 public promise that the abbey should be restored. It was not fulfilled; and it is said that this was partly owing to the disgust created in high places by a clever and successful hoax played off by • rogue of an engraver, who then resided in Dunfermline. The pro fa that the body discovered was that of Robert Brace were entirely satisfactory, but it was suggested by some one that a plate, with the name of the hero engraved upon it, was only wanted to placo the identity beyond all question. Such a plate was nut lone wanting. It was prepared by the engraver aforesaid, and " the likeness of a kingly crown," with the legend " Bober tus Scotorurn Rex," engraved on it in ancie..t characters. The semblance of real antiquity was given to it by keeping it some time in a strong fire, after which it was deposited a little beneath the surface of the ground, near the Bruce's tomb. The plate was found and received by the barna, with transport. Facsimiles of it were made in steel engravings, some of which were put into rich frames, and the original plate itself presented to the Prince Regent. Some time after wards the waggish engraver divulged the secret of his hoax. The barons were chagrined ; the plans f r repairing the old abbey church were for the time abandoned ; and ever since these noble ruins have been mouldming away and hastening to total deck PROVINCIAL. Tx• Qt AT CANIBIUDOIL-1 be Cambridge Adver tiser says;—We may mention that it has been whispered to us, on no mean authority, that the Queen will certainly hold • drawing-room in the state rooms of Trinity, which w ll be splendidly adorned far the purpose ; and it is not altogether impossible that in the evening of the installation day there will be a select ball, which will be honoured by the presents. of her Majesty. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Last night Jenny Lind appeared in "La Fiera del Reggimento , " ' au Italian version of Donizetti's comic opera " La Fille du It4riment." This piece was originally written for, and produced at, the Opira Comique in Pans, and has since acquired great vogue in Germany, especially since Mdlle. Lind has per formed the part of the heroine, in which she is said to have had very great sucoese. The piece is certainly gay and amusing; and the *music on • level with that of " L'Elisir d'Amore," end . " Don Paa gushy." The scene lies in the Tyrol, during the °mum'. too of that country by the French army. The opening of the piece is picturesque. In • wild spat among the moun tains, groups of peasants are discovered, watching the course of an engagement; the Marchioness of Berkenfgeld, the lady of the neighbouring chltean, with her attendants, are kneel ing is the foreground, and carmen are heard in the distance. The groups join in a chorus; the ladies imploring Heaven for safety, and the peasant. breathing de fiance of their enemies. This is one of the best of Donizetti's choral composition., and it was song with much affect. Sid pizio, a sergeant of French infantry, enters with Maria, the heroine of the piece. Maria is a viranciii re, the " daughter of the regiment," or, in other words, its adopted child ; having, when an iufant, been found by Sulpirio on a field of battle, and has been brought up among the , uldier., who all regard her as a daughter, while she looks on them as so many fathers. Her lively carol was heard before she appeared, and when she bounded upon the stage, in the person of Jenny Lied, she was one of the prettiest and most piquant figures imaginable, justifying the old sergeant's exclamation, " Coepetto, come e gentile ! " Quaintly attired in the uni form of the regiment, with her blue locket (geed with red, red petticoat, and mart little chepeau, she was the French antler girl to the lite. The scene between them is on effusion of their mutual feelings; the old man is ud of the pet of the regiment, and she is full of joyous spint, military fire, and warm affection for her paternal regiment. It forms the duet " In vidi la lute, net campo guerrier," which Je nay Lind sang with immense energy, and Nights of the most brilliant exentution, working herself up, as it wire unconsciously, to a pitch of martial ardour that was really exciting as well as amusing. She was admirably sustained by F. Lablache, as the sergeant. A bustle is heard, and a young peasant is dragged in by • party of soldiers, who charge him with being • spy, and threaten to hang him. He is Tonio, Maria'a lover, who had recently saved her life, and gained her heart as kis recompense. She intcrieres in his behalf, he is set at liberty, and welcomed by the soldiers as the Saviour of their daughter. To enliven their little festival they call on Maria to sing their favourite song—the sang of the regiment. A capital song it is; and it was sung with infinite grace and spirit, accompanied by a chorus of soldiers. It was received with acclamations, and would hive been re peated bat for the great vocal exertion which it evidently required. There is then a pretty scene between Maria and Tonio, in which, after treating his ardent declares of love with a little playful pleasantry, she responds to them with equal affection. Gardoni was the young lover and the &tot with which this scene terminates—very tender and anent in itself—was sung with exquisite expression, and wereleadly encored. Maria's parent, the regiment, agree. to her union with her lover on condition of his joining their corps ; but at this moment the eirl'e real parentage is discovered. It appears that she is the niece of the Magrhio. mu of Berkenfgeld, who determines to take her home and educate her according to her rank. She is thus forced to leave her regiment and her lover; and the first act clean with their melancholy parting. In this scene there is some pretty music, especially a little trio ; and Jenny Lind's sweet simplicity was very touching. We now find Maria as inmate of her aunt's castle, in fa , hionable attire, and undergoing a course of polite education. She is unhappy under these restraint., and her only comfort is the society of her old friend the scrjeant, who remains with her. Her aunt wishes to marry her to advantage, but she tells the serjcant that she will have Tonio, and neither a baron or a duke. Tne old lady insists on tt aching her a fashionable sang, and the music-lemon is a most amusing one. The marchioness sits at the piano and accom panies, while the pupil begins reluctantly to sing. The sergeant draws near, and whispers in her ear the burden of her old regimental song ; this seta ht r off, and she breaks out with " Itamplan, rataplan ! " marching about the room in enthusiasm, to the horror of the old lady, who is shocked at her vulgar military propensities. It is im possible to describe the rich, yet delicate humour which Jenny Lind gave to this scene. In a subsequent soliloquy, Mono is indulging in regret for ht r lust happiness, when she hears the well-known sounds of the music of her regiment. The soldiers appear, with Tonio at their head; for he has by this time, by good canduct, risen to the rank of a field officer. She welcomes them with transport; and, in conclusion, her aunt consents to her union with her lover. Jenny Lind's assumption of the character was complete. She never for a moment, in look or gesture, forgot the vivandit re girl, whether indulging, in unrestrained freedom. in the military habi:a of her nurture, or submitting unwillingly to the constraint of artificial manners, and constantly breaking through it. Her vocal performance was equally perfect, ex hibiting the mane power, beauty, and compass of voice, the same brilliant execution, the same richness of fancy in her ornaments and cadences, and the same variety and truth of expression. But it must be added, that the music of this part, and the part itself, are of a lower grade than the characters in which she has previously appeared. Maria does net leave on the mind the strong and abiding impression made by Alice and Amines. The other parts were well performed. F. Lablache did great justice to the serjeant, and nothing could be better than GardonPs Tyrolese peasant. Madame Solari was very clever as the Marchioness, and in the singing-lesson scene, showed herself to be a superior musician. The theatre was most brilliantly attended. The Queen and Prince Albert were present; and the National Anthem wse sung after the opera, on the occasion of her Majesty's birthday. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—At length the Cogent garden management has taken a step in the right direction, and, in the production of the masterpieces of eleseic opera, is applying its energies to a worthier purpose than that of mere imitative rivalry with the other house. •'llon Giovanni" was performed last night, with • general excellence equal to any performance within our knowledge—certainly with greater completeness, much being included that I has heretofore been invariably omitted. We could have wished, in further extension of this principle, not to have been deprived of Masetto's and Donna Elrira's songs, " 110 capita, ' " Ah, fuggi," and " Ah, pieta." The omission of the latter portion of the last finale we have I always held to be justifiable, as it forms an anti-climax to the tragic catastrophe which precedes it. „The opera was east last night in many respects the same as in former seasons at her blajesty's Theatre, Grin being the Donna Anna, Peniani Etritna, Mario Don (Margo, and Tam burini Den Giovanni. Of these we need only say that their performance was fully equal to what it used to be. Boyer., as Leporello, had an arduous position to sustain, having to contend agaiast our reminiscences of several great artists in the character, and greatest of all, Lablache. There was much genuine comedy in Itonre's impersonation, but we oeuld have wished for a close r ad herence to the text ; for even in buffo singing, the artist should not be so far carried away by impulse as to lose sight of the passages, especially when those pasenges convey the ideas of a Mozart. Mdlle. Corbari was a better Elrires than we have been accustomed to ; the importance of the part being generally underrated in the east. Signor Ley, as Mimetic', being deprived of two of his songs, had not much to do, but sustained his portion of the °Dec reed music effi ciently. Signor Tagliafico, as the Commends/ore, sung the unearthly statue music impressively. Mdlle. Fanny Elsaler and Millie. Dumilatce gave effect to the ball-room scene by their graceful dancing oldie Minuet. The band and chores were, as usual at this how*, perfect. The crowded state of the theatre, notwithstanding the great attraction at the other house, is evidence that there is 'public fur the art as well as - the artist. lINIVEItSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS.
