The principles of this journal were legitimist; but Ithe head and front of its offence was an article on fusion in its number of yesterday. It has also been thought that some remarks of the Cursaire on the absence of any mention of the government in the peace addresses from England had been considered offensive. The Cbrsaire had an extensive circulation. It is reported that its publication is to be continued at Brussels. The President is still said to be in bad health. The name given to his ailment is rather vague; they call it exhaustion. The household of the President of the Republic is being augmented by the engagement of numerous domestics; but they are not to commence their ser vice until the return from the journey tothe southern departments. All the persons whom the President employs have belonged to the cur pa d'elite of the army, and most of them to the carabineers. The Meniteur announces that the Haitian govern ment has paid 18,000 piastres (93,000 francs) to the consul-general of France in satisfaction of certain demands which the French government had made on it for lows sustained, and for indemnities due to French citizens. its mincing, misty, Minerva-press strain is newlo English political oratory. Mr. LIDDELL professed to have "entire confidence in the ability of that great ministerial seer, who had already con jured up the rision ,t* a financial system, which, though still loomitry in distant obscurity, would ultimately emerge from its source in the substantial and useful shape of a well-framed budget, which— while it maintains our national credit—will also give relief where relief is due—and which, if he might be allowed to use a familiar expression, would, by relieving the foot where the shoe pinched, enable that foot to keep pace with the rapid strides which other rival interests wens making." But though inflated Orientalisms are to be tole rated in orators of the great Caucasian school, it must be confessed that the specimen we have just quoted—with its budget relieving the pressure of a shoe. and its solitary foot hopping on to keep pace with "rival interests," is a shocking piece of cobbler's work. So ineffably bad is it, indeed, that one might be tempted to suspect that Mr. LID DELL intended it as a caricature or parody of Mr. DISRAELI'S style. Nor is it impossible that the haeourable member for Sou t hNort humberland,—w hen The holders of the "lion Miguel loan" of Portu gal held a meeting yesterday at the Bourse, and nominated a committee, consisting of MM. Sala, Simon, Pavie, de Pondenss, and Darancourt, bankers, to support their claims on the Portuguese government. The man charged to turn the points on the St. Germain Railway, at the spot near the Batignolles, where the lines of the goods station of the Room' Railway branch off, fell asleep in the night of the lit, just before a goods train was due. Ile neglected to turn the points previously. Aroused shortly after by the noise of the train, he jumped up, and turned the points. But before this was done the locomotive and some of the waggons had passed on to the Paris line. This mistake might have had very serious results, but, fortunately, no material harm was done. The man, however, was so terrified that he lost his wits, and he cried out to the engine -driver, " Adieu! lam a ruined man. Adieu!" Nothing was seen or heard of him until yesterday morning, when his body was found in the river, near Asnikes, by a man who was dredging for sand. A medical man declared that the body had been in the river about four days, and that it appeared that death had been voluntarily caused. The name of the deceased was Barthgemy. At the Bourse the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. rose 30, closing at 103.95 ; tLe Three per Cents. rose 5c., and closed at 77.45. Havre railway fell 5 ; the other lines were dull. spas*, d a a well-frarned budget' swisrging tram the at a thereinl system looming in distant futurity;was, in fact. sneering at the gentlsmaa hs affected ba praise. The country gentlemen —the came isse•Ossnis of the lixtinv-DtsttAxxt party—have not been slow to express their disgust at being com blled to follow at the heels of the showy " He rew adventurer," as they affect to call their leader. And the chairman at Mr. I.ttinr.u.'s dinner, in pm log the business of the evening, was as snappish at ministers as at the opposition; for if he spoke peta lantly of " the Chesham-plane compact," he spoke quite as petulantly of " the oligarchy established in Downing-street." The truth is, that the enthusiasm of the squire- archy for the Denev.DtsitAxm Ministry his sadly abated since they began to entertain misgivings re specting its fidelity to Protectionist traditions. They will not quarrel prematurely with Ministers. They still cling to the hope that it may be Protection of some kind that is " looming in the future." But they can't be sure of it. And they are there fore constantly refreshing Ministers with deli cate hints that sound vastly like " Protection or —;" the unspoken alternative only the more terrible on account of its shadowy nue: nature. Such a hint was given by the Linco=r ei n Christopherites, when they frankly declared that they expected more from Lord DERBY than MIN expressions of sympathy for suffering agriculturists) and such another hint was administered at Newcastle by the Hon. HENRY THOMAS LIDDELL, when hs inidioualy praised the Earl of Heart for his can sisTeney on the question of the corn-laws." Now, that it is beyond the power of any ministry to n-enact the corn-law, is certain. And equally cer tain is the determination of nor preset' precious ITALY. TUSCANY. Our correspondent, writing from Florence on the 3rd September, states that Guerazzis trial con tinued, and that his appeals to the amnesty and his demand that the Grand Duke himself should ap pear as a witness, had been rejected. Goers:as speech on the incompetency of the tribunal had caused much sensation. rulers to do nothing that they talkie will endanger their tenure of oiler. But commerce and credit are delicate and susceptible essences; and the bare sus picion that an attempt may be made to restore agri cultural protection, may fur a time pandjec legiti mate speculation. It is, therefore, of the utmost consequence that Ministers be brought to book as to their intentions with regard to the corn-laws as soon as possible. Lord linter stands pledged to hold the qeestion of Protection as finally settled by the result of the general election. He has gone so far as to declare that even with a Protectionist majority in the House of Commons, unless it was a very large one, he would bold himself bound to give up Protection. But the noble earl has an ugly habit of shuffling out of his most specific declarations, and substituting vague unmeaning words when called to act upon them. This is the game be played with his professions of eagerness to dissolve the late parliament at an early day. This is the game he will try to play with his unequivocal promises to give up the corn-law for ever unites at the general election a large majority of Protectionists was returned. He will do his utmost to leave it as long es possible in doubt whether he thinks the doom of Protection finally sealed. This cannot be tolerated, for it would inevitably intro duce a dangerous element of uncertainty into Mt mercantile enterprise orspeculation. And thumbs* as soon as Parliament mob, the Opposition will doubtless peremptorily haslet upon an un equivocal answer—a plain " yes" or "no"—tram Lord Dater to the question, " whether oft Male has finally given up every intuition to amp* restore the corn-law ?" On his reply boy kb MI& If be stands by protection, he will be bides by dho Free-t radars—if he gives up protect ion , a large portion of his High Tory friends will forsake him. It hie been alleged of the founder of the Cooingeby school of polities, that the tea/- ticking propessitiss of a ilonndeditch old clothes man shine even through his most affect ing The same may be said of his imitator (or parodist) Mr. 0110aGE HINIT neLL, M.P., (or his glowing pictures of fineadel seers, old shoes, and single feet hopping over do ground with seven-leogue strides, never intovilie with his cars for the oloweysh." His Wile to the Conservative buy-bodies of South North berland, is the same as that of lop to Rodertipo.- " put money in your purse." He told them at New oastle—" with Ma sinews of seer at command, let dna establish an orzanised system, sad support M regular end tiberol stabornetiona, for that, and Am only, was the way in which they should be abbe to maintain the seat they had so nobly woo." In *in Bo lisp the Conservative cause in South Northum berland can only be upheld by unlimited expendi ture in the registration courts, and unlimited expen diture at elections. An " organised system" of costly chissue in the former, and wholesale bribery in the other, is that whereon the Conservative member for South Northumberland rests his faith and trust. Grand preparations were making for the festivi ties attending the coronation of the Madonna. ROMAN STATES. General de Cotte, aide-de-camp of the French Pre sident, is in Rome. The thizette (Vide& de Savoie announces that he has taken command of a brigade of the army of occupation, and is likely to be muned its general in chief. The Press* of Paris doubts the correctness of this speculation, seeing that M. de Cotta is m o l l y • grneral of brigade, and there is no prospect of a reduction of the French forces at DIRTRIBUTION OF Inuit& AWARDS IN Tlift Towaa If awxrra —Yesterday a meeting of the local eon mitten sad inhibitors nudist in the Tower Hamlets was held at ths atom 33, Spits' square, for the purpose of rei ceniag the awards made by the Royal Commissionen to all these is the above district who bad served on local trimmittses, or °moribund as exhibiton to the Great Es iiihition of 18,11.

TILE CIIT.ESENONOEIt'S BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. fifteenth anniversary of this charitable aoeioty was celebrated yesterday evening by a public dinner, at the Highbury Barn Tavern, at which more than one hundred and fifty of the trade ware (recent ; Mr. James Free man, junr., presided. From the report which was read by the chairman, it appears that sine* the formation of the society in 1436, no lees than 67 indiriouale, 40 men and V wou.en bane rxeived relief from its funds. Thirty.seven I of this number having riled, there are at present 11 males and 19 females, in all 3'2, enjoyiiig the bounty of the cheestmonger's trade. The intuit amount of pensionary rtlief distributed during the 15 years, including donations to the families of deceased pensioners was 6,9401. ; the in- etitution poseeues footled prop. rty to the amount of 7,4491. During the put year the sums peid in pi-nsion4ry relief and donations amounted to 5021., while the total subscriptions amounted to only 5711., so that the paresis of expenditure neer subscription receipts has had to be provided for out of ' the disulentis the mrit'y's stock, which, by the rules, ought to have been funded.

Thew York Ocean Stull packet Company's oteamie Franklin, Captain Jaws A. Walton, arrived at.Cowes at S deleek, yeillerday, aid landed her mails under the charge of Ms J. C. Kane, agent. The Franklin left New York on the 28th alt. The steam-frigate Mississippi sailed on the 19th tilt., according to previous announcement, for the fishgrounds. The steamer Sir John Harvey, from " !hides, arrived at Beaton on the 26th ult., with intelligence that Admiral Seymour had sailed for Prince Edward's Island. A free soil ratification muting was held at Boston on the 27th, and is described as largely attended. The Hon. John 0. Palfrey, of Camb rid ge, who pre sided, announced that Mr. Hale accepted the Pitts burg . nomination for the Presidency. He then eulogised Mr. Hale's ability, patriotism, and his firm and eloquent advocacy of free soil principles, and said the free soil senators and representatives could never be silenced or put down. The free soil party was rapidly growing, and wu bound to take possession of the government—then the constitution would be interpreted as their forefathers intended, and not before. The proceedings of the United States Senate and House of Representatives were almost purely of domestic interest. _ _ _ ----- The committee of the Senate reported on the 28th an amendment on the Civil and Diplomatic Bill for the recompense of ministerial officers in the service of the United States, when they incur extraordinary expenses in the prosecution of their duties, to which Mr. Sumner moved to add :—" Provided that no inch allowance shall be made for expenses under the act of Septereber, 1850, known as the Fugitive Slave Act, which act is hereby repealed." In support of his motion Mr. Sumner made the speech on the Fugi tive Slave Law which, on a recent occasion, was refused a hearing. Considerable debate followed, after which the proviso was rejected, it having re ceived but four votes. The amendment proposed by the committee was agreed to. The Rochester Board of Health report six deaths by cholera as having taken place on the 28th and 27th. Of the harvest the NOD York Herald says:— We receive this morning intelligence from different por tions of the country in relation to the crops of both cotton and provisions. In some sections we learn that the worm has sommenced its destructiveness upon the cotton, while from others we hear that the planters are rejoicing in anti cipation of ea abundant yield. On the whole, judging from the intormation we have received, we are inclined to the opinion that it will, at least, turn out an average yield, more particularly u the rattee of the worm have com menced so late, when the crop is in such an advanced stage GS to put it out of their power to destroy it to any great ex tent. The wheat harvest has been most abundant, and from all parts we hear the most glowing accounts of yield. The prospect for corn is at present uncommonly cheering. With one or two exceptions, the yield throughout the country will be greater than ever before known, and in an ticipation of which the price in different localities is already beginning to recede. The United States ecnsul at Acapulco had been a second time arrested, and had subsequently left for Panama. - --- The Washington correspondent of the New York Daily Tribune, writing on the 25th ult., says: The quarrel between Mr. Polk, of Tennessee, and Mr. White, of Kentucky, has been settled without bloodshed. Mr. White is in every way an honourable man, and one whose reputation needs no exhibition of personal courage. The affair between Mr. Polk and General Cullom is yet en• *staid, Mr. Polk, upon whom the onus rests, choosing to remain quiet so far. It is quite likely the quarrel will be laid on the table, and perhaps come up neat session among the unfinished business, if it should not happen to be settled in Tennessee during the c►nvass. Cullom is a man of noble anal and lofty bearing, and will neither commit nor submit to a dishonourable act. The mackerel fishery to the north of Prince Edward's Island was good, and the Nova Scotians were also doing well. Papers from St. John, New Brunswick, state that the crops throughout the colo nies are as great as ever before obtained. The Clarksville (Texas) Northern Standard learns on reliable authority from Porter's Bluff, that Capt. Stevens, together with his officers and be men, have been killed by , the Comanches, about forty miles from Fort Belknap. An express had been sent into Texas for reinforcements. The Empire City had arrived at New Orleans on the 18th ult., bringing four days' later news from Cuba. According to a correspondent of the herald, the excitement at Havana relative to the publication of revolutionary documents still continued, and many more arrests had been made by the government. The governor-general had announced that all persons con victed of being the authors of these publications should be put to death. It was also reported that several of the supposed offenders had been shot, but the rumour was not credited. The Caccia de la Ha bana, in a recent number, gave currency to an article of a very threatening tone, in which it was asserted that the governor was . partially acquainted with the persons engaged in printing the revolutionary docu ments, even from the appearance of the first number, but that he waited for more certain information of the fact. The editors of the Picayune state that they have seen a private letter from a highly credit able and responsible source, which states that many of the Spaniards themselves were engaged in the conspiracy, and that further seizures - of munitions of war, &c., had been made. The yellow fever and cholera were still prevailing on the island, but not to so alarming an extent. Havana itself was quite heal thy. Robberies, asssasinationa and murders, coati nued almost of daily occurrence, the authors of which generally contrived to escape. The growing crops presented a favourahle appearance. Sugars were arm, but rather dull The supply of coffee was quite limited. Freights dull, and vessels abundant. Adrian received by the Herald correspo ndent at New Orleans from the city of Nitric° to the 3rd, and Vera Cruz to the 17th of August, announce that the revolution in Mazatlan remained in steam quo. The it.surgents had, however, entered the city of °nada lajan, to defend which troops had been ordered out by the President. The Ribaleda movement was daily going forward, and the government was endeavour ing to effect a reconciliation. The port of Mazatlan had been closed, by order of the government. In ternal disorders and revolutions were rife throughout the entire country, and the Indians continued their excesses in the frontier states. It is reported that Gen. Manta has pronounced in favour of Arista as dictator. The legislature of Vera Cruz had proposed to the government to make a treaty with the United States for the extradition of fugitives. There was nothing new relative to the Tehuantepec route. The cargo of the Franklin consists of 120,000 dole. for England, 330,000 dots. for Havre, and 600 boxes India-rubber shoes.

ADSLAIDE, SOVTH AUSTRALIA. APRIL 16, 1852. My anxiety to reach the favoured spot limited my stay in Melbourne to a few hours. I left on the afternoon of December 29, with about 200 Adelaide men and two large drays, one drawn with five, and the other six horses, containing all our luggage, tools, tents, and requisites. The distance from Melbourne is 80 miles, a somewhat tedious journey in consequence of the heavy hilly roads. Our goods did not arrive until Saturday, the 3rd of January ; but we ourselves pushed on, and reached there on the let of January. The first appearance of the diggings is a very curious sight. Thousands of tents are studded labout in all directions, as far and further than the eye can reach. Mount Alexander itself is the highest of a num berless quantity of hills arising in rapid succession for miles; between each of these bills is a gully eloping ei'her to the north or south, which open themselves into a vs riety of creeks, running in a serpentine direction from east to west. The creeks now at work are Forest Creek, Friar's Creek, Barker's Creek, Campbell's Creek, Bendigo Creek, and the River Lodden, all varying in distant* from each other. The Forest Creek is the most central, and is favoured with the post.ofilce, the distauceof which from Bendigu is 30 miles, from Friar's 6 miles, Campbell's 6 miles, Barker's 4 miles, and tie Lodden 7 miles ; but yet the whole dis trict, containing hundreds of square miles, is known as Mount Alexander. It is an interesting sight to walk along any one of these creeks and see the washers all at work. There are two men in a working party—one to cradle, the other to puddle the earth and bale water for the cradler. The quantity of gold in a load of earth varies according to the richness. We have got as much as 16 ounces, and es little as half an ounce. Two men can wash three loads per day,' while the same quantity will take four men the day to dig out and raise to the surface; hence six men can work three loads per day. If each load yields one ounce we reckon it pays. The first operation after arriving on the diggings is to select a spot where to dig, aad this choice is a lottery. No one can guide you. If fortune attends you, you may hit upon a good hole the first time ; if not, you may have to dig a dozen before you realise any return. But there are few, indeed, who do not if they are industrious, receive a fair remuneration for their trouble, while very many receive a handsome reward. I know many who have worked four or five weeks, and returned with sums varying from two to five, and even seven hundred pounds worth if gold, and one arty of five men got 2491 b. 9oz. of gold between them. Our party was five in number, and worked nine weeks, and the result of our esertions will be u follows. I will give you each week's earning, so that you may see the pro gress of a digging party. I will also give you the exact amount of expenses, so that you may meet any queries about heavy license, extortionate charges, and expensive living, which is all humbug: os. dwt. gn.

Bd., or, after deducting 251.4 e. 4d. expenses, leaves 1051. 11, 4d. clear, nearly 121. per week for the nine weeks we were on the diggings. I dare say you will hear a great deal about hards hi ps and privations, with fearful spread of disease and loin of life ; the same reports met me within forty miles of the diggings, but I need scarcely tell you they were without foundation. I returned after a fifteen weeks' absence, aad as far as I know use not one bit worse than when I left. I intend to return again to the diggings in about three weeks from this data, or as soon as I have arranged things to make my wife comfortable for the win ter. If the coming winter is like the last, it will be very severe on the Mount, but I do not intend to run any risk, hat the scarcity of water in the summer will render it neoinsery to make use of the winter as far as possible. When I left the diggings In March, It was very difficult to get drinking water, nearly all the well. were ran dry. The prices of provisions were as follows :—Mutton, hind quarter, Is. ; fore quarter, 2s. ; or a living sheep for 81. Beef, prime joints, 4d. per lb. ; other parts, 3d. Flour, 6d. per lb. ; tea, 2s.

Bd. 41b. loaf, but few eat it, aa most people bake their own for little more than half that price. Some of these things aear high, but they Sr. not really so. The figures I have given you will show that our Beteg for each man was less than lls. ; and I always contend that, if a man is not worth a I pound a week for his living on the diggings, he had better stop at home. If you know any one about to start for these Moeda, favour their coming; for my idea is, that our gold mines will be profitably worked for years to come, While trade must be good for many years afterwards. Those mechanics who will work are getting first-rate wages. • • I shall write again on my return from the diggings. • • AUSTRALIAN SCREW STEAMER SARAH SANDS.— A Liverpool ootreepondent "eye thin fine steamer is now lying is the Wellingtua Dock here, fitting for Australia, foe whieh she is to sail on the 14th from Liverpool, sad 18th from Queenstown. Her after saloon is as handsome and loft, as say we have seen. The entire of the first elms, or main deck, affords a height of about 8 feet from deck to deck, and each cabin is lit and ventilated from the side, so that there will not he much cause of complaint in that e l an of sec.,mmodation. On the lower deck the height is about 7 feet, and the (whine are spacious, lit from the side, and well ventilated. By artificial means of light, the lower deck, usually so cheerless in emigrant ships, is rendered as light and agreeable as the main deck, and numerous large ventilators from the spar deck will secure an ample circulation A great change in the appearance of this ship is observable her last voyage. Her machinery has undergone a ugh overhauling. Her rig is somewhat altered—the third mut being exchanged for what may be termed mein-try-sail mut. It is expeeted that hoth her sailing and steaming qualities will be greatly improved. It i• to be remarked that she made the last voyage from New York in fifteen days, when the hlenchester, a crack screw steamer, about the same time, took mventeen days for the same voyage.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCE- MENT OF SCIENCE. BELFAST, WIDNESDAT EVENINO. The business of the several sections, with the ex ception of the geological one, terminated yesterday, and the whole proceedings of the association will be brought to an agreeable wind-up this evening by a festive entertain ment in the Music Hall. To-morrow a large party will set out for the Giant's Causeway. SECTION 0.-0 EOLOO T. Colonel Portlock, president of this section, took the chair at eleven o'clock. _ Among the papers read during the day were a " Report on Crag Formations and Coprolltet," in a letter from Mr. Long; Mr. Smith. of Jordan-bill, "On the Conditions under which Boulders occur in Scotland;" Mr. Bryce, "On the Disposition of Granite Blocks in Argyllshire;" Professor Nichol, " On the Occurrence of Glacier Moraines in Arran ;" Major Vicaray, of Wexford, "On the Geology of a portion of the Himalaya Mountains," communicated by Sir R. I. Murchison ; Mr. H. Twining, " On some Pecu liaritiet of the Granite in certain parts of the Pyrenees." 0 ZOLOGICAL 7H1601.Y. Mr. H. Hennessy, .1 . Cork, made a verbal statement of his views relative to some points of geological theory. lie referred to the influence of geographical and astronomical causes on the climate of the earth at different geological epoelts. Several recommendations of the general committee hay- Inebee n confirmed, the meeting was adjourned until August or September, 1853, to be held then in Hull, the exact day to be hereafter determined. The concluding meeting of the association was held at three o'clock, in May-street Presbyterian Church. There was a numerous assembly on the platform, but le the body of the building the attendance was by no means so crowded as at the opening meeting. Colonel Sabine occupied the chair. He commenced the proceedings by stating the several appointments which had been made as to presidents and officers, and the various transactions of the committees during the week. Mr. Boyle, general secretary, then reed a report of the recommendations confirmed by the general committee. The Chairman observed. that the members of the Asso ciation could not but perceive, from the increasing number and importance of those recommendations, the increasing importance of the Association. It had been felt as an in convenience, that persons could not be in all the sections, so as to hear what took place in each of them ; but, in some degree to remedy that, the Rev. Dr. Robinson had been requested to give an account of what passed under his no tice, it being understood, however, that the account was not to be understood as embodying all the transactions of the sections, but only what had been observed by the ee -1 verend gentleman. l'rofessor Phillips, at the request of the chairman, then ' gave a statistical account of the number of members and associates, and other facts connected with the present posi tion of the Association, as compared wi - h the last year. From the details it appeared that the Association has made considerable progress. Having mentioacd the great in crease of lady associates, and other facts, the report stated that the total number of tickets issued last year at Ipswich was 711 ; and at Belfast 1.108. The total sum received at this meeting was 1,106/., which exceeded the receipts of last year by about 4001. The Rev. Dr. Robinson observed that the flourishing statement just given was sufficient to give him spirit' to pro ceed with his task if it was necessary. It was impossible for him to do full justice to the proceedings of the sec tions, hut even if he were to attempt to describe u he ou ht the number of interesting facts which ho had previ ously observed, he found he would weary them out. After the opening address of the Pmideat, it was scarcely neces sary to remind them that the investigations pursued divided annul,. a into two important classes. The first were those which led to the development of general principles of know ledge, and opened up to the philosopher some new and well tried fields of enterprise The second class were those which involved the application of science and art, which ministered to the wants of society and the industrial eel • gentles of life. The reverend gentleman then glanced at the various sections, commencing with the first or mathe matical section, and expressing the pure and unmixed sstislaction with which he contemplated the progress of future science, from the men—such as Stokes, Thomp son, and other distinguished names—whom he saw assembled in it, and engaged on its committee. Having dwelt upon the importance of this science, he observed that amongst the communications received, that of Professor Stokes, in his plan, held the first place, for the light which it threw upon those phenomena which had engaged the attention of Hemphill and Brewster' lie regarded this as a third epoch in the history of light, and opening a field of which they could scarcely anticipate the end. He could see already a host of practical applications of which it was susceptible. Not less interesting, sod even more exciting, were the donations of drawings and the ob servations of Lord Rosee upon celestial nebula, and the interest which his presence evinced, and the information which he afforded. In testimony of the extraordinary wonders which these discoveries had excited, he observed, that when a young friend of his first saw one of those strange nebula he returned thanks to his Creator for having hem permitted to see a wonder which had never before been NCI by man. Having then referred to the communications of Rankin, Thompson, and others, and the meteorological facts stated by Colonel Sykes in reference to India, and the report of Dr. Lloyd and Mr. Haughton upon the climate of Ireland, hen:included his notice of Section A, by noticing the ascents made at the instance of the association in Mr. Green's balloon. Having noticed the disgusting exhibitions in connexion with balloons, which had made them ridicu lous, and expressed his gratification that even upon this amount the emaciation had adopted this means of scientific inquiry, he alluded to the important results which might be expected in estimating the condition of the atmosphere, and referred to the circumstances of several seronau tie sisseis, sad the extraordinary observations which, in some insamenee were made. The first two of • series of explorations bad bees made in the Nassau balloon, and he trusted they would be continued. After describing the contemplations of Mr. Walsh and Mr. Green in the course of their ascents, and dwellii.g upon their remarkable cool ness, adventure add chivalry, under the peculiarities of bal looning, the reverend gentleman proceeded to advert to the principal features of the next section. He alluded to his efforts to have chemistry introduced as a portion of the un dergraduate mune of college, and, urging the great im portance of the study of chemistry, he observed 'hat, in a theoretic point of view, the moat interesting communication was that on the subject of Endosmose, by Professor Gra ham. Another thing which he thought worthy of notice was a paper upon a test for soda, invented by Dr. Andrews, the beauty and efficiency of which he warmly eulogised. LAW OP DIVORCE IN FaattcE.--The tribunal of Beauvais disposed the other day of a remarkable case. A certain Monsieur T. ill-treated his wife from the very eons mencement of their union. Himself addicted to debauchery, he often made his own home the scene of his riotous ex -1 comes. On one occasion, when gaming with one of his guests, he o ff ered his wife as his stake. The offer was accepted, the game played, and the slake lost. The de praved husband at once pryceeded to deliver the forfeit, by conducting the winner to his wife's chamber. In her terror she made her escape by the window. Some time afterwards he repeated the outrage. Madame T. fled to the house of her parents, and took up her abode there. When she in- hatted their fortune, her selfieh husband wished to share it. and commenced a legal suit to compel her to return I under his roof. She defended herself, proved the facts,l and obtained a decree of separation for both person and pro- MAY. UAUTION9 FOR TRAVIELLRIIII.—A correspondent says :—" Our tourist countrymen should beware of the re commendations of railway porters and omnibus conductors in favour of certain hotels. Among the crowds of English who have been tempted, by the celerity and economy of the route, to visit Paris per Dieppe this summer, many are of course wholly inexperienced, aced utterly unable to explain ' themselves in French. Such have been entrapped at Rouen I by the landlord of a third rate commercial inn, situate in a part of the town where the stench, both night and day, would be alone motive enough to keep at a respectful die team from the spot. This innkeeper pays 30 sous per head to the porters and conductors for every guest decoyed to hie home; and if the victim stay. long enough to be well tweed, the landlord adds soother half franc to the recom pense. Rouen has several very good hotels, able to afford English travellers those comforts to which they are accue• tamed at home. Persons making their first continental tour would do well, before they leave Engler d, to get the address of a good hotel at each stopping place." A MAIIRIAOR PORTION FUND. The British Friend, the organ of the Society of Friends, gives a notice of a somewhat singular fund—a "fun d for re moving obstructions to matrimony among the lower clam" of Friends.

CHANNEL ISLAND 4 .—The French Minister I of Police has ordered that Frenchmen landing in the Foi -1 lish islands of the Channel with passports obtained in France, must procure the visa of the French vice-consul of Jersey, without which they shall not be allowed to land on the French coast. INAUGURATION OF THE PEEL STATUE AT BURY. A fine statue of bronze of the late Sir Robert Peel has been tweeted Mahe Market-square of Bury, Lancashire, and on Wirdnesdaste ceremony of inauguration attracted an imoiense concourse of pesple from all parts of the town and neighbourhood. The effigy is 10 fest high, awl the attitude easy but emaniatialing. The statesman is repro seated standing with his kit hand resting upon his side, the right hand slightly raised and extended, t'te chest well thrown out, and the uncovered head, though erect, is natural and lite-like. The attire is that so generally worn ' by Sir Robert, and the peulptor, Mr. E. 11. /daily, R.A., ! has succeeded in placing the open surtaut in a I manner exceedingly characteristic of the late statesman's mode of wearing that article of his dress. The features were pronounced by most of thole who should be able to form & judgment to be good and truthful. As it whole, the figure appears rather massive in breadth, but it is un doubtedly a noble monument; and placed as it is in the centre of the town, which was Sir Robert Peel's birthplace, it will posse** greater interest, perhaps, than most of the statues that have been erected. flee money paid to the ar tist is 2,500!. The figure rests upon a piece of rock work in bronze, IS inches high, Owed upon a square pedestal of Aberdeen grey granite 12 feet high. In front of the pedes tal the four letters composing the name " l'erl " stand out in granite, and are surmounted by the arms of the family. On the two sides of the pesketel are bronze has reliefs, one representing " Commerce," the other " Navigation ;" and at the back is an inscription, giving the memorable words used by Sir Robert when moving the repeal of the corn laws: "It may be that I shall leave a name sometimes remembered with expressions of good will in the abodes of those whose lot it is to labour, end to earn their daily bread by the sweat of the r brow, when they shall recruit their exhausted strength with abundant and untaxed food, the sweeter because it is no longer leavened by a sense of in justice." Chamber Hall, the house in which Sir Robert l'eel was born, is situate about a third of a mile from the spot where the statue has been placed, and it had been arranged that the authorities of the town, with the committee and other par lea joining in the cer , mony, should assemble on the lawn in front of thie buileing. he hall is now the resi denceof Edmund Hardman, E-q., who is also occupant of the extensive print works doer by, which also were once the property of the Peels. It is a double-frunte d square looking substantially built mansion of brick, two stories high, standing out from a baek ground of wood, the counterpart of hundreds of such buildings erected fifty to eighty years ago, when manufacturers began to make money rapidly, and could afford to live in greater ease and comfort than they had been accustomed to. Amongst the easiest of the gentlemen who congregated on the lawn be fore the house were noticed Mr. W. Brown, M.P., Mr. John Wilson Platen, M.P. (who was obliged to leave at an early hour, however, to be present at a dinner to Mr. Greene, at Lan e:eater), Mr. Fred. Peel, M.P. the very Rey. John Peel, D.D., Dean of Wurce - ter ; Mr. Lwrence Peel, Mr. Bagley, President of the Manchester 'lmmix,. of Comm ; Mr. Edmund Grundy, of the Wylde; and Mr. Bally, the sculptor. A great number of the magistrates of the division were also present, with the improvement commissioner' of the borough, and $4 viral ledges of freemasons and odd fellows. The company were shown the bedroom in which Sir Robert Peel was born, a spacious and lofty apartment look ing to the west, over • large expanse of lawn, iind a num ber of extensive reservoirs upon the old print. works. They were also taken to an older portion cf the mansion, with narrower passages, smaller rooms, less elevated ceilings, but certainly not less substantial in its brick and mortar construction, where is the room into which th 3 tuture states man was first convey oil aft, r birth, an apartment now used as a library and smoking-room. A little before two o'clock the procession formed in front of Chamber Hall, in the following order.—Band of music; the Independent Order of Oil i Fellows; the Free Masons; the Band of the 4th Regiment ; the Bury Improvement Commissioners; the magistrates of the division; the com mittee, sculptor, invited guests, and subscribers to the mo nument. In this order the procession at once moved forward into the town and into Market-square. The monument steeds immediately in front of th- parish church, and • large space had been railed off in front and behind it, for the company forming the procession. A email platform hod been raised for the speakers taking part in the cere mony, between the monument and the church, and txhind this an extensive and lofty gallery, which was filled with ladies. The people assembled in the square and its ap proaches were probably not less than 20,000 in number, and the windows and balconies and house-tops all around a ere crowded by multitudes of persons of all ages. The scene was exceedingly animated and impressive. About a quarter past 2 o ' clock the military band struck up "Rule Bri tannia," the statue was unveiled, and the ass, mblage broke forth into a loud cheer, whilst the bells of the church gave forth an effective peal from the steeple close by. Mr. EDMUND GRUNDY, chairman of the commit tee by whom the subscriptions were raised, then addressed the as-emblage. Mr. OPENSIIAW, on behalf of the improvement com missioners, formally accepted the trust, and paid a short tribute to the memory of the great statesman. Mr. THOS. BAZLEY, President of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, also briefly addressed the af41:01. blw, saying that he did so with mingled feelings of regret and exultation—with regret that in the inscrutable dispensa tion of providence they had lust so great and good a bene factor, and with exultation because he saw in it a proof that a nation could be grateful for benefits received. lie thanked them for raising this tribute to the splendid and undying services of Sir Robert Peel. His services were recorded in his deeds; and his deeds outlived him for their satisfaction and their prosperity. It might be a fit ting occasion to remind many of them that only • few years ago the most melancholy spectacle was witnessed in this enterprising town of Bury—that of men physically capable, willing, and actually desirous of sustaining themselves by their own industry, being prevented by the untortunate state of the fiscal laws of this country. Thanks to the great statesman whose memory they were me: to honour, those laws were changed, end they all recollected the magic change which had been thereby effected, both in the physi cal condition and the moral habits of the people. He con trasted the happy, contented, well-clothed and well-fed people of the present day with the wretchedness and want so largely prevailing before the corn laws were ',pealed, and retired amidst much applause. The boys from the Grammar School sung the national anthem, and this closed the ceremony of inauguration. The workin: people were now enabled to get a closer view of the statue, and continued to crowd about it to a late hoar in the evening. The political feelings arising out of the late election have not entirely subsided, and it was said that the cheers given iu presence of the new member, when the statue was uncovered, were hardly worthy of the occa sion, from lungs such es the people of Bury possess, and the reason given was, a fear that the nature of the cheers should be mistaken. Thiy amply compensated for this later on, however, and the singular scene was witnessed fur hours afterwards of crowds of people collected around the inani mate effigy of the statesman to whom they owe so much, cheering and shouting tiU their voices were hoarse with the exertion. • _ . _ The event was afterwards celebrated by two public dirt ' nets, one at the Albio t Inn, and the other at the Town Hall. The latter, which was at first supposed to be a dinner in honour of Mr. Frederick Peel, the new member for Bury, but which the committee say was never so in tended, was that which drew together the principal com pany. Mr. Grundy, of the Wylde, presided, and on his lft were the Very Rev. Jonn Peel, D.D., Dean of Wor cester, Mr. Frederick Peel, M.P., Mr. Bailey, mid Mr. R. Peel Willock. On the right were Mr. Joshua Knowles, Mr. Thomas Wrigley, Captain Hort, and Mr. Bally (the sculptor). We also saw present Mr. Richard Ashton, Mr. J. R. Kay, Mr. Thomas Calrow, Mr. J. W. Swann-kit, Mr. John LOOISZ, Mr. Edmund Grundy, of Bridge-hall, Mr. Wm. Grant, Mr. William Open•haw, and Mr. Hardman. Letters of apology were read from the Duke of Welliogton, Sir J. Graham, Lord Ellesmere, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, and other distinguished men. Captain HORT having responded to "The Army and Navy," The CHAIRMAN proposed "The Clergy and Ministers of all denominations." The Rev. Mr. BOUTFLOWER, in responding, said he had no difficulty in connecting that toast with the great oc casion which had brought them together that day, for no statesmanship could be sound which was not connected with religion. He alluded to the exertions of the lamented statesman in the cause of religion, and in ameliorating the condition of the poor. He had left behind him a name which would still survive when the granite pedestal, and the broom statue which rested upon it, had ceased to re mind them of it. ((heers.) Mr. THOMAS HAZLEY, President of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, rose to propose ^ The immortal memory of the late Sir Robert Peel, to he receired in solemn silence. Ha had to encounter some embarrassment from the aheence of hie friend, Mr. Brotherton ; and he assured them that he felt like some pilgrim who had wan ' dered to the shrine of a great and good man, there to pour out his feelings of gratitude for the services which he be lieves himself to have been rendered by the person to whom he was desirous of showing his testimony of respect. flar ing, in his public position, hvd frequent opportunities of waiting upon the late Sir Robert Peel, on business of great public importance, and especially in reference to the great changes which he was most instrumental in effect ing in the commercial policy of this country. Ile believed that Sir Robert Peel hod readered to his country greater services than any statesman who ever preceded him in the office and tumours that devolved upon him. (Cheers.) It had been his pride and pleasure to sit at the same board with the late right hon. and distinguished baronet, u • member of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations, and he could assure them that his duties were most cheerfully performed, and that the services he rendered to that Exhibition were of the moat important kind. Although he did not live to see the triumph of the Crystal Palace, he did much to consummate the success of that great na tional and world wide exhibition. Under the old firma system, we were subjected to periods of extreme depression, and the national glory and greatness were sinking, hut, like another Cantu., that statesman leaped into the gulf of party conflict, and rescued and saved his country. (Loud cheers.) If they glanced for a moment at the services he rendered, they must have forcibly brought before their minds the great fact that, as a financial minister, the late Sir Robert Peel had been unequalled. Directly or indi rectly, he reduced the taxation of this country by nearly ten millions sterling per annum, and yet we had • greater amount of national revenue than we had before we began that reduction. (Cheers.) It they looked to our home and foreign trade they would find that • vast augnientstion wan the result of the changes he effected ; and he believed the minimum extension of our trade at home and abroad was not less than 60 per cent—(cheep)—for before he intro -.CAA
