By the Eagle (Captain Boyce), which arrivedU yesterday in the London Dacks, we received files of Melbourne papers to Sept. 1. The Eagle left Port Phillip on the 2nd of September, and arrived in the Downs in 7t4 days, the quickest passage ever known, kw , . 10 days shorter than the bnefest before per furm'ed. She brings 150,000 ounces of gold, being more than double the largest amount brought by any other ship. From 50 , . to 60/. per man was paid to the crew tor the run home. _ _ . The Chosen steamer was hourly expected at Port Philip from Sydney, en route to Singapore. The Australian, Captain lioseason, the first of the Australian mail steam packets, arrived at Port l'hillip on Sept 2. From Sydney the correspondent of the Melbourne 11, raid writes, on the 2nd of August :—" A gold field La. been discovered at Bingara, in the Owydir dis hier, which promises to rival Mount Alexander itself.

Surgeon Alez. Hunter heads the list with 50 guineas. The Adelaide papers contain the following highly important statement of gold discoveries in South Australia, Ths South Australian Register of the 25th of August says : There is now no doubt that at length an ex tensive and remunerative gold field has been discovered in this province. Every experiment that was made yester day was uttended with success, although most jealously, and even suspicioritly, watched by the officials who were present on the ground. We shall now introduce, without comment, the account of our special reporter, which will speak for itself. The extent of country in which the gold occurs wilt probably be found to be very considerable. It commences at the sources of the Onkaparinga, near Mount Crawford and Mount Torrence, sad reaches to the coast, fol• lowing the line of that river to the township of Noarluogs, a tract of country net lens than sixty miles in length. The report furnished to as for general information is as follows " YestPrday morning Mr. ?insist (Colonial Secretary), Captain Freeling (Surveyor-General), Mr. Bonney (Coen mix.ioner of Land.), and Mr. M'Laren (Deputy Surveyor. General), attended by a party of police, accompanied Messrs. Chapman and by to the site of their gold discoveries upon the Three Brothers' Survey.

Mrs F nniss after several more trials, which I understood to be geotrally witisfastory, directed the discoverers to with an ounce of gold is hie gaaassM..kwing them to take the earth from the neighbourhood of the tree, which they con sidered the richest spot. Each spadeful was taken from unbroken ground, and only from the surface. Three dishes were washed together. Mr. Finals* choosing the puddle is which the operations were performed. An ounce of goad was obtaioed from nine dishes in somewhat less than an hoar. It included a nugget weighing b dwts. I have Mr. Finnies's 'sprees authority (or saying he is quite satisfied that the plate is au available tad-field, and that the dis coverers will probably be entitled to the reward tiered by government. The washing was perfumed by Weems of the dish alone. Had there been a sieve and, the Demo of gold would, of course, have been obtained In less time. Mr. Chapman wmantious to show other please its various dire,- Sons, but there was not time for their examination yester day. It is stated that the gold field extends for seven or eight miles at the least.. lie was amble to show his deeper discoveries, as the hole he had sunk was full of water. Every returned digger to whom I spoke expressed himself quite satisfied that the gully was areal gold field. Several I of them declared their intention of remaining to work it instead of returning to Mount Alexander. Of the entire number of persons on the ground, not one, as far as I had the opportunity of ascertaining, went away with any other opinion than that a great available gold field bad really been discovered." The Regular of the 27th coetinues:—.. The subetance of the earliest information received by us yesterday from the South Australian diggings is contained in the following statement: Up to the hour of one o'clock, p.m., this day, 4.5 licensee had been issued on the ground by Mr. Commis sioner Bouncy , although only a single cradle hid mad* its appearance. The estimated number of persons on the gold field was between 400 and .iOO, and at Meet 200 persons were met on the road, carrying tin dishes and other implements or working tools. Cradles being se indispensable as in Victarie end elsewhere, many of them are in hasty prepara tion. Three gentlemen, well known in this city, deg up some of the earth, and in one spadeful din crested two round nuggets about the sue of peas. In every spadeful of earth particles of gold were discoverable. Some visitors said the gold field was not comparable to that of Mount Alexander; but the disappointed were told by others that they were glad to beer the comparison.' A citizen, resident in Hindley.street, was said to have collected an ounce and an ball; and snotty r bad found a thin nugget about the size of a silver sixpence. A considerable number of persons had arrived on the ground totally unprovided with victuals, under the foolish impression that their wants might be sup plied somewhere in the neighbourhood, where no adequate oreparation could have been made for the sudden influx. Msuy persons had sent to tows fur cooked provisions, and others were compelled to return with empty stomachs, and, as may be supposed, in no very cheerful humour. A few hoses will doubtless work a considerable change, as many experienced hands in town are now bully employed in pre. partitions of all kinds. A youthful adventurer, who has had experience sad swam at the Victoria Diggings, paid a visit to them of the Onkaparinga, and returned to town for the purpose of making up a party. Warland's public-house could hot be expected to afford entertainment for so many hundreds, and the proportion of those who were unprovided even with bread was considerable. The gold is of trautiful colour, and in many instances the precious metal &mom• pained by pieces of quartz as transparent as crystal, and others which, though opaque, appear to have all the purity and delicacy of white cornelian. The official reports of the Colonial Seents27 and Commis sioner Bonney confirm the foregoing statements. We have not space fur them to-day." The government assayer has received igstructions to engage the requisite staff and prepare the neccs-1 sary machinery for coining, if that measure should be deemed desirable. (In Aug.lB no less than 9,488 ounces of gold were deposited for assay, the estimated value of which is 33,6821., which, added to the quan tity previously lodged, gives a total of 956,1861. the securing of the coming harvest is becoming a matter of great anxiety. A government laud sale has taken place, and realised 3,3761. Three convicts escaped from Cox Creek on August 18. On the 19th, the police destined to form the escort to the diggings refused to go at their present pay, and 22 men, including the sergeant-major, at once left the force and their kits. The pay was Be. Bd. a day, the men wanted 106., on account of extra expenses. SHIPPING. AUITALS AT POI? PHILLIP.—AngiId 16: Kestrel, brig, from Leith. V.

EXPRESS, MONDAY IN TUSCANY. The following is the report of Lord Rodeo and the other members of the deputation to Florence in the cane of the Medial, addressed to all the protestant churches of Europe: Is repairing open the result of oar 111111406, we have to state that, is accordant* with what we naderstood to be the views of those whom we represent, we, In our first ens sareicatias with the Tuscan Mishit., for Foreign Affairs, disclaimed the advert...meat of any political object, or the ase of any political 'militants; aiming to approach the Grand Duke in the character solely of protestant Chris tians, who sympathised with the position, and desired to alleviate the actual condition, of our impchoned brother and sister, Francesco and Rosa Medial. We would further state that, in order to attain our object of an audience with the Grand Duke, we scrupulously avoided putting &Tweed our firm ooaviction of the injustice and cruelty of the sen tence under which they are unlined. Our task was not to demand what we believed to be justice, hut to ask that which would be deemed by the Grand Duke the exercise of mercy. Notwithstanding the conciliatory spirit is which our re quest fur an audience was conceived, and the grounds thereof stated, we regret to have to announce that our application was refused. Ash is our wish to narrate everything with moderation, we would add, that this refusal was couched, es will be seen by the annexed correspondence, in courteous terms. As regards the great object of our missinn, it Y bat too evideut that the hope held out of mercy is mod vague; nevertheless, as the language used would seem to justify a hope, we cannot but trust that it may be speedily realised. With the termination of our mimion, we consider it ewe duty to acquaint those whom we represent, and the Chefs. tian public generally, with the actual position of the Media. Not having as yet bad the privilege and advantage of per access to them, we proceed, frum information am which we can (ally rely, to present their condition seen rattly, avoiding everything in the way of exaggeration, not only fur the hike of truth, but because it is a melancholy fact that sufficient of grievous hardship exists to excite the warns indignation and enlist the active sympathies of pro testant Christendom. The Medial, then, an not sentenced to the galleys, net are they confined in chains, nor placed in the same cells with felons. They are treated with kindness by the attar dents in the prison; but their sentence his beennot only he a term of imprisonment of unusually long duration, but ens which has attached en unjustifiable stigmata infamy to the& Their confinement is solitary, and involves labour (groom forces). Considering the activity of Frailness ModinFe put isle as a travelling courier, and V•si extreme aim, et his wife Rosa, fr m spinal disease, it is no maser sg lar prise that this confinement should hese proved MA la. ninth to the health of both, and fears are to be eatartalmal as to a fatal issue if it be much further prolonged. What would be the aearaton in Europe if any such cad tremble tion to their present suderinp should ensue ? We ought here to notice their total deprivation of all public worship, and the consolations of a minister of their own faith—pri vileges which would be most precious to them, and which are amply accorded to every other, even the very wont, offender' confined within the same prisons. They are sepa rated from each other, not only in differeat cells, but in dif ferent prisons—the one on the heights of Volterra, the other 60 miles off, in Lucca—as if the intercourse of these poor sufferers could be dangerous to the state ; so that to the hardships already alluded to is added an agonising on. certainty as to the health of iamb. They are denied the use of such devotional or other books as may be in accordance with their own views: when allowed to take exercise, they are obliged to do so in a confined space, between high walls, which shut out the view of everything except the sky. Lastly, with respect to the trial and sentence. Although the evi dence was not allowed to be published in alms°, we may state, on the authority of those who were present at the trial, that it was distinctly proved that the life of Rosa Madiai had been for years marked by acts of charity and love without reference to the peculiar faith of those whom she succoured ; that upon these occasions she made no use of such opportunities to assail the religious principles of 1 those whom she benefited. The few acts of controversial discussion deposed to sgaiast them were in answer to or in consequence of, the applications or arguments of those' who themselves entered into discussion with them. It :vaulted from the whole trial that publicity —an essential element of their crime under the law by which they were tried—was so complirely, and, on the fare of the sentence, so confessedly wanting, that the bench (who acted both as judge and jury) were obliged to base their conviction upon the g I course of jurisprudence as exhibited in for.ner decisions. These demsleioas were, however, shown to be inap pliable, or, eves if applicable, not 'Wildcat to warrant any such severity of seateam. It is farther worthy of notice that his immensity between the law under which they were tried, the ease ander which they were convicted, and the sen tence nadir which they are suffering, was, independent of the fasts, made the ground of formal appeal on the part of their semeek Nom Maggiorani, whose name deserves to be waled ti is with gratitude, not more for the talent and =knowledge which he displayed, than for the boldneu professional conduct, and the tender and considerate mmistance which he has privately afforded to his oppressed clients. It should be added that the arguments of Signor Msegiorani oo this point were formally end publicly as sented to as sound and valid under the signature of others most eminent at the Florentine bar. An appeal for further argument in the cue was not only not opposed, but was ad vocated by the =whet for the crown ; and yet each appeal was ineffectual. _ _ We have preferred a temperate and accurate statement of facts to any, the most eloquent, appeal to your fooling,. What our feeling' are, may be easily conceived; suffice it to say, that they impel us to erg* a loud and continued protest against a sentence of imprisonment thur inflicted ; involving with it bodily suffering, and even risk of life, together with religious privations, from which all (deader' in every civilised country arc exempt. The report which we have thus laid before you would not be complete were we to leave the impression that this is but a solitary instance of suffering for Christ's sake. The case of the Mediala is but the type of a numerous edam; for it is an awful fact that the progress of persecution is fearfully advancing. It would, therefore, bedesirable that the publicity which its peculiar circumstances have ob tained for it should attract attention to very many others, in order to make them the subject came earnest prayers end efforts. We do not exaggerate when (in the very terms of the persecution of the first Christiana) we affirm that a system prevails here of " entering into every house " where saspieiers, not of political but of religious " crime," exists. "haling men and women, committing them to prison," and " breathing out threatenings." We might tell, with truth. of sot a few " put into the , common prison," of several " scattered abroad," and of very many who, hungering and thirsting adler these privilege', are prevented meeting for payer and the study of the Bible. We can only say, in cenerlusion, "My brethren, these things ought not so to be." How they are to be remedied may be considered by others pomming more worldly wisdom then ourselves. In the meantime, we cherish the hope that, when and how the Lord may see fit, He will vindicate His own cause, and de liver those who are persecuted for His name's sake.

A meeting of working men wan held on Saturday evening, at the Princes' Concert Room, called for the put.. pose of promoting Mr. Oliveira's scheme of a free library for this parish. The attendance of the class specially in , cited was somewhat meagre, owing doubtless to the infeli citous selection of the only evening which the working classes have for making their purchases, and effecting their pecuniary arrangements for the week. Mr. Oliveira, ALP., Mr. McGregor, M.P., Mr. Digby Seymour, Mr Goldsmith, Mr. Withers, and some other influential inhabitants of the pariah were on the platform. The chair was filled by Taos. WILSON, a wood carver, who explained the benefits which the proposed institution would confer on the working classes, whose aid in the shape of a pecuniary subscription of Id. and upwards he solicited. Mr. °LITMUS/I, next addresnd the meeting, and called attention to the great success which had attended the free library at Manchester, which was now generally re sorted to, and where he had himself seen a clergyman read ing by the side of a man in a fustian jacket. Speaking of the social improvements which mast result from the spread of education, in which free libraries were an importsnt agency, he urged that now free trade had been conceded in food, it was essential that the same principle should be extended to everything that entered into the social and fire side comforts of the people. lie suggested that a half- penny rate would be sufficient to maintain the institution he proposed. He read letters from Lord Brougham, epprov• lug of the scheme, promising a subscription, and giving it as his opinion that in order to be successful the institution must be under the management of the workinvelasses themselves, and letters from Lord Carlisle, Lord Harrowby, Dr. Sp ry , Mr. E. Baines, the Great Western Railway, and others, concurring in the objects of the meeting. Mr. M'Gastoon, M.P., followed, who said thatthe exten sion of education among the working-dares was an essen tial preliminary to the asmossnisa of the ps demand of universal suffrage. He regretted that had not followed the example of Manchester and Glasgow in pro viding means for supplying food to the mind ; but be had no doubt if a free library were established in Marylebrine similar institutions would follow in other parts of the metropolis. Mr. Dinar Sinew:tic, M.P., (who bore testimony to the good effects of the free library in Sunderland), Mr. GOLD SMITH, and some other gentlemen, spoke of the necessity • extending to the people the big loaf "of knowledge, now they had obtained the " big loaf" of bread, and resolu tions were passed pledging the meeting to support the taring a committee of working-men to no. 8 0 e p h ert wt Mr. Oliveira's committee in concerting mea sures of managerseat—originating a penny subscription amongst the working-men of the parish, and according the thanks of the meeting to the chairman.

PIRFORMANCIL--CONTILACY TO PUN.CHASI LAND PON • RAILWAY. This ease came before the mutt on two appeals from de cree. of Viee-Chaneellor Knight Bruce. The first, which was to enforce a specific performance of a contract to pur chase land required for the construction of the Wisbeach and Spalding line of the Eastern Counties Railway, was argued a skeet time ego, and reported in the Express, and the judgement of the court dismissing filo appeal with mete wm also reported in the Express of the 16th last. ?Me gesseat sate soma before the court on appeal from an ease of tbe VieisClianeellor fer further direction. on es eeptiona to the Master's report, which found that the plaintiff, Mr. Hanka, had a good title to the laud required by the railway. Mr. Bothell, Mr. J. Russell, Mr. Malin., and Mr. Grove, for the Eastern Counties Hallway Company, now urged that although the judgment of the Lord Chancellor in the first appeal had decided that the company were bound to fulfil their contract and pay Mr. Hawkes the sum for the land which had been stipulated, and ordered that the money should be paid into court, yet as Mr. Hawker was only tenant for life of part of the land, he could not convey tt to the company in fee, and that at any time the remainder man on coming into possession might oust the company, and that because the powers in the act of parliament enabling Mr. Hawke to supply tho defect in the title had not in fact been obtained. I' The Solicitor General, Mr. Wigram, and Mr. Follett, for Mr. Ilawkes, contended, firstly, that the company in the first instance did not rely on the compulsory powers of their act of parliament by which they might have obtained the land, but entered Otto • voluntary agreement with the owner to purchase his whole property at a price agreed on, and that as regarded that portion of the land of which Mr. Hawk's was only tenant fur life, he had a right to sell his interest, while the rights of the remainder man were se cured by the payment of the money into court ; secondly, that the difficulty of the company as to getting a title wee of their own creation, as they had agreed to take powers hi their act enabling them to make a good title; and, thirdly, that it was competent to the company, under the Lands Clauses Consolidated Act to buy the land for extraordinary purposes, and that act gave powers to a tenant fur life to sell and contract so as to bind the remainderman. The Lord Chancellor said the questions with reuse 1 to title were not concluded by the decree he had already made, bat the shape in which the ease was now pet was, that although the agreement was valid and binding, yet, when it woe attempted to carry it out by nii ens of the powers in the company's act, which enabled a good title to be made, those powers were not sufficient fur the purpose. The defendants were entitled to eater on the discussion of that point, but they were not relieved from the difficulties they were placed in, which arose out of the agreement as it stood between the panics. The company was dealing with • man who was only tenant for life of one part of the property he sold, and they undertook to got powers to enable hint to make a good title, and their set, as it passed, had such power!, but which it was now said ware not sufficient to enable the com pany to carry their agreement into effect. But by their ant, such as making arrangements for examining into the title, and not then raising the point as to the tenancy for life, it must be assumed that they were satisfied that they had obtained sufficient powers, and even if they had not, they could have got their powers extended. Nothing, also, had been stated to show that they could not have taken the land for extraordinary purposes under the general act. They thought themselves entitled to fulfil their contract when their own act passed, and yet they now uked the court to say, that they had not sufficient powers for the pur pose. It was said that there was a clause in the act which was intended to guard the interest of the remainder man, with regard to the price given for (belied, by presiding that it should be valued by two valuers, one appointed by each party. This was not done certainly, but only because the company declined to do their part, and it would be a mockery of justice for him (the Lord Chancellor) to say that they could withdraw from their contract on the pretest that they had not powers to get such a title made as would be bind on the remainder-man, when in Get they bad only not ex ercised their powers. It was their own fault that the title was not made in consequence of their availing their con tract and withdrawing from the exercise of the powers they had. He would not, therefore, permit them to take advan tage of their own breach. If, however, the company now chose to hare the land valued by two persons chosen as re gulated by the act they might do so, and he would give them the opportunity of doing it. Ile was of opinion that the company was bound to do all the matters made incum bent upon them by their act, in order to get a good title, and if they had failed to do so by not doing what would have rendered them competent to get such a title, it was their own fault. It was said that although the purchase money had been ordered by the decree to be paid into court, yet that that could not he done until the title was made clear. But he thought it was the duty of the com pany to contribute their aid to the carrying out of the tie cree in that respect—as the company had expressly con tracted to get powers to enable them to complete that con tract, as they had obtained such powers, and as they had acted as if th-y had obtained them, ho assumed that they were satisfied with those powers, and were so far ready to fulfil' the contract, and on that simple ground he should hold them to it. If they had come to the court at an early period and said we have been mistaken with regard to our powers, they are not sufficient, and we must go to parlia ment to get larger ones, that would have bean one thing, and the court would have not compelled them to fulfil their contract until they had taken that course ; but to say ! KI T that they had not the necessary powers was only ea of & thought, and brought forward to get rid of the cantina. Having already decided that the contract must be fulland. he should dismiss this appeal with costs. SMITHSON V. Po WELL. SDNCIFIC PERPORMANCM. SALE or LAND WITH RIOHT TO COAL. This was en appeal motion against an order of Sir J. L. Knight Bruce, when Via-Chancellor. The plaintiff!, Elisabeth and Mary Smithson, were the owners clan estate at Keighly, in Yorkshire, which wee put up for sale in 113.50. It was stated among other things in the advertise meets of the particulars of sale " that the land contained coil which was in the course of working on an adjoining estate." It did rot, however, appear that any such state ment was made in the conditions of sole. Mr. Powell, the defendant ,became the purchaser of the estate for a sum of 1,8901., anti the abstract of tide was delivered, but owing to the illness of Mr. Powell's solicitor it was not examined - , and he took possession of the estate, pulled down old buildings, and erected new ones. After this it was found on examination of the abstract of title that the vendors were not entitled to the coal. Mr. Powell then offered to take the property, on • compensation or abatement in the price being allowed him for the loss of the coal, or to rescind the contract. This offer was refused, and the plaintiffs filed a bill to compel soecific performance of the contract for the fall sum of 1,890 f. The defendant filed a cross bill, pray lag for a specific performance, but with compensation allowed. The Vice-Chancellor dismissed both bills with out 001 M. Mr. Powell appealed against the order. Mr. Matins and Mr. Webster now contended that by the amuse taken by the court below, both parties were without relief; and urged that Mr. Powell was entitled either to be relieved altogether from his contract or to carry it out with as abatement for the loss of the coal, the right to which he bad supposed he purchased. Kr. J. Russell and Mr. Daniel, for the Messrs. Smithson, urged that Mr. Powell must have known from the abstract atilte that the vendors had not • right to the coal, and that by taking possession of the estate and erecting build be had put an end to any right to ask either for the re ding of the contract or for compensation. The Lord Chancellor said that no doubt the sellers when they advertised may have believed they had the right to the coal, but it was discovered that they bad not, and the pur chaser wasted to have a decree for specific performance, with compensation for the loss of the coal. The Vice- Chancellor, in dismissing both bills, had only done as was done by Lord Eldon in • similar case. Generally, when a man bought that which did not answer the description given of it, hews' entitled to compensation; but it was difficult to say in this cue that there was any questioa of defective title, for no title to the coal existed in the vendors. It was clear that there was strong evidence to show that the parties actually sold only what they had, and that there was no in tuition to sell the coal, nor did the agent of Mr. Powell consider that he was buying it. The conditions a see stipulated that an abstract of title should be delivered at an early period, and that if no objection was made to it (in a month, the este should be binding. The 'bitten was eccordingly ae deli d, and on its very first page there was an excep tion with regard to the coal. There was no contract to tell the right to the coal, and the advertisements should have Mel tuturchaser to ask how it was that the coal was not con in the conditions of sale. No objection was taken to dm abstract of title (arising, it was said, from the illness of the purchaser's solicitor; but he might have employed an other), and, having examined the estate, Mr. Powell en tered into possession, pulled down and erected buildings, sad exercised right* of ownership. lie could not in the first instance hare resisted the completion of the contract. It was not possible to give compensation for the loss of coal, for it was not easy to put a value on that mineral. Consi dering the acts of the purchaser, and the conflicting evi dence as to the preliminaries to the sale, and the difficulty the court would have in making a decree for specific per formance with compensation, ho (the Lord Chancellor) was of opinion that the bill was rightly dismissed from the court below, and the appeal must be dismissed with coots, lie should however recommend the defendant to accept a decree for specfie performance without compensa tion, and he should decree accordingly.

The suit was instituted by a female ward of court for the administration of a testators real and personal estate, to one seventh part of which she was entitled under the will. Th., infant plaintiff married pending the suit, without the permission of the court, whereupon the ordinary bill of re visor was filed against the husband, and a reference was di rected by Sir lA,. Knight Bruce, when vice-chancellor, to approve of a proper settlement of the lady's fortune. A settlement was accordingly approved of and exc.( uted, whereby the property to which the wife was entitled un der tho will was conveyed and transferred to trustees upon trivet, for the benefit of herself and her issue. The husband had since died. Upon an application being made on b e h a lf o f t h e w id ow, un d er the 62nd section of the Equity Jurisdiction Improvement Act, 1.5 and 16 Vict., c. 86, for the common supplemental order fur the purpose of carrying on the suit against the trustees of the marriage settlement, Vice•Chaneellor Stuart, before wlions the application was made, refused to make the order, on the ground that the ease did not fall within the terms of a -- - 4 s 6 .„4 i ~. .+ F THE BEST MEMORIAL FOR A proposal is now before the public for a memo rial to Wellington far more worthy than statues or paint. lags or any other such complimentary devices. The inter• tion is to raise a subscription—which her Majesty the Queen has commenced by giving a thousand pounds—to be be used for the establishment of " a school or college, to bear the name of the Duke of Wellington, for the gra tuitous, or nearly gratuitous, education of orphan children of indigent and meritorious officers of the army. Institu• lions more or leas national already exist in which the ad vantages of such an education can be obtained by the chil dren of soldiers, of naval Ofiftre, and of the clergy ; but no such provision has been made is favour of officers of the army, a class of men peculiarly liable to casualties, by which their families are often left in a et/edition of the most painful pecuniary embarrassment, and under circumstances in which the necesstrily stringent regulations of the War• office preclude the possibility of any relief front public tends." Sorely such a memorial is far better than any another of indifferent statues. DECORATIONS OF THE LATE DUKE OF WRLLINGTON. The various orders and decorations of the late Duke of We'Hostas, which were exhibited at the lying in state at Chelsea Hospital, will be en view at Messrs. Gerrard's, Penton-street, Haymarket, in the course of this week. The decorations will be exhibited in a large glass case, upon black velvet, the batons being placed in front. At the top is the unpretending-looking Order of the Garter, and near this is a decoration which is unique, being the only one of the kind ever conferred, the Collar of Victory, presented to the Duke by George the Fourth ; it is of massive gold, and on the medallion shields which are interspersed among the other ornaments are inscribed the names of the several victories won by the Duke. In a corner on the right, almost too small to be ob served, is the Duke's favourite badge, the Waterloo medal, which he wore on meet public occasions, and which is pre cisely similar to that worn by the common rank and file of the army. Below hangs • brood blue faded-looking ribbon, to which many interesting associations are attached, as the relic of a dynasty long passed and almost forgotten. It is the celebrated condor bleu of the Bourbons—the Order of St. Esprit, the star and badge of which, set in diamonds, is valued at thirty thousand pounds. Another interesting decoration is that of St. George of Russia, with its black and orange ribbon. The baton of • Ramjet' held marshal, which was also presented by the Emperor Alexander to the duke, is a very gorgeous affair in frosted gold. sledded with large diamonds. The ribbon of the Garter, which the duke wore more frequently in this country than any other, is quite dety and faded , and who vet may be the Inheritor of this distinction will eiertaitly require • new one. The Spanish ribbons and decorations are among the mast showy and brilliant of the entire. The Order of the Sword of Sweden is • tiny little affair, although the representative of great achieve menu, and the visitor cannot look without emo tion upon the two small decorations on the left —one of which is the Indian medal with three clasps, which indicate the early achievements of the duke ' and the Penin miler medal with nine clasps, which give it the appearance of • lady's modem bracelet, and which records the number and eatent of the deceased warrior's victoria in Spain and Portugal. We can merely glance at the names of some of the remainder. Prussia, in addition to a baton, conferred upon him no less than five orders, those of St. Andrew, St. Alexander Newsky, St. George, the Black Eagle, and the Red Eagle of Brandenburg; Ha. the order of the Guelphs, with its cross, ribbon, and star; Austria, the much-prised decoration of Maria Therm, which is equivalent to our Order of the Garter.

The little two-set comedy called " Masks sod Fame," produced at this theatre on Saturday evening, is • production of considerable merit, and met with Ammo! success. It is announced as "entirely new sad original," though we are not sure that this last epithet L'WAIF exact, as the piece seemed to have some ainularig, in sub jut at least, to a French drama, of which we do not at present remember the title. But be this as it may, the pies is English in its characters, manners, and style. As eta conclusion, the audience were informed that it was the joint work of the authors of " To Parents and Guardians," "The Ladies' Battle," and some other popular prudes. Lions; namely, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Rude. The plot is somewhat complicated, and not always else. Among the characters are some of our stage esisteltiss Of the early part of the last century . . A young waft gm dames named Vane, having visited London, is smitten with the charms of the famous Mrs. Wallington, and pays his addressee to her, though he has left a wife in the country ; and the actress, believing his attachment to be honourable, rejects on his account another suitor, 801 Charles PoMander, one of the fine gentlemen of the day. Meanwhile Vane's young wife, uneasy at her bar baud's absence, resolves to follow him to town. On the journey her coach meets with an accident from which she is extricated by Pomander, whose escort to town she accepts. Pomander, having been invited by Vane' to a dinner of theatrical people. brings home Mrs. Vane, se the perty are assembled. Vane is astounded at the sight of his wife, and Mrs. 'Vele:upon is indignant to and that bee lover is married. Mrs. Vane, however, remains in the dark ; she does not know who Mrs. Woffusgton and bee companions are, but supposes that her husband (to whom she had written almanac nag her arrival) has invited a party of friends to meet her on her arrival. Still things - look suspicious; and at lee eh Mrs. Vane discovers that her arrival was unitapeetedAMt her husband had not even opened her letter, and that he is in love with Welfiegton. The young wife's distress at these cruel discoveries closes the first act. The second act introduces us to the mineable neewege of Triplet, a poor post, who, in the midst of his starving family, is segaged upon a play. He is a painter besides, and is painting a portrait of Wellington, who comes to alt to him that he ma: finish it, having asked some of her critical friends to come and give their opinion of it. Triplet, unable to make a satisfactory likeness, dashes his knife through the picture, afraid to encoanter the expected critics. We/Puke, to show him the value of criti• cism, cuts out the face from the canvas and sub stitutes her own: the judges arrive, and criticise the portrait unmercifully. Mrs. Vane is now announced she has come to appeal to her rival in her husband's affections. She is shown into the room In which IVoifington, now alone, is concealed with her face in the picture. Mrs. Vane, seeing her rival's lovely features, breaks into an impassioned burst of grief. She a astonished to see the expression of the pic ture change ; Mrs. IVorengton comes from behind it, and, after a scene of considerable feeling, she engages to endea vour to cure Vane of his misplaced passion ; an object which she effects by some contrivances which it is needless to detail ; and the .upshot is that the husband returns to his wife, under the impression that his mistress is an intrigante, who has endeavoured to deceive him—not a very satisfactory dent mewl. The plot of this piece, indeed, is its weakest point. Tim nominal hero, Vane, is a poor creature, weak as wall r wicked, who excites no interest whatever, and does net deserve an amiable and loving wife. The principal figure is Mrs. W 411.0401, who is admirably drawn, and charmingly represented by Mrs. Stirling. The character is a delightful combination of grace, wit, spirit, nobleness of nature, and generosity. But this ideal Weft:Won is just such a creature as the a ill more celebrated Mrs. Clive was in reality; while Kitty Clive (who is also one of the dramatis persona), plays an insignificant part. Trudet, the poor denizen of Grubstreet, is an excellent sketch, embodied by Mr. Webster in that artistic and mas terly manner for which he is distingui , hed, with fine touches of homely pathos. Miss Rosa Bennett, as Mrs. Vane, had nothing remarkable to do: she looked very pretty, and acted with sweetness and feeling. .leir Charles Pomanckr, the cool, nonchalant, fine gentleman, has found a perfect representative in Mr. Leigh Murray. The dialogue of the piece is easy and elegant, and altogether it is deserving of a permanent place on the stage. r I
