THE EXPRESS; SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1857. PRINCE ALBERT OY THE GEORGE S'. (From the Ladder.) Prince Albert said at Manchester, "In the Duchies of Gloucester we have lost the last of the claims of that good king who occupied the throne during minty yews, sad carried this couatry fearlearly through the meet momestous struggles of its history." We wish it we; possible to piece in contrast four lectures on the Georges by Prince Albert with the famous four by Mr. Thackeray. We pewees, however, the opinions of the greet satirist, and we have now a eine to the opinion, of the seeemplished Prince. Mr. Thackeray appeals to the pity of history in babel( at the pose Meese king, the victim of &Liston end dis ease ; he is solemnly end peofoundly palisade when he ike oa to approach with reveries the aMiction of s maid, forlorn old man; but Mr. Theekerefe Lear is Prince Albert's Cromwell. For, standing on the Man chester dais, with a cenopy above him very lake a crown, the corset felt all but regal, and in the name el the Queen decreed: Art. I. That George 111. was a good king. Art. 11. That for misty pars he was The State. Art 111. That he Inanely earned England through the most neoessatom stroggias of bar history. Ike peetraile of thereit men who lived when Clomp 111. wee king, might limo been observed to frown when Priam Albert, In their perecii, thus drilled the memory of the Arleen' prior end ebempeon of his people. But the 3lssadvarar Latham purist the Priam al took so heed of the ststasmen, Its admits* sad the gamuts looted to bis brief oration. If Nara iteeld tit 47. afrolgen the Ho! A In persons then sight have been, bowery; who, having nod lard Bronginois Lim, Mr. Thackeray's Lor ton% and tha socesaary chapters of Universal History, went irtartleed to bur thatbeorge 111. bad carried the country through lug sad glorious struggles. They fancied that, within a taw measeate, Prince Albert had pawn in voice and cuatestene• very like a German pedestals of the never Meath funerary ; his words were so purely mourchloal ; he attributed all rigour and victory to the throne ; he uttered not the name of George, bat spoke of him with monumental peri phrasis no "that good king." Well might thoughtful sue, with clear memories, dare at the prince while be gave this public contradict.= to Mr. Thackerny. Ile who has so often distinguished himself by the enlightened philanthropy and scholarly culture displayed in his speeches, who has re nounced so often the panegyric of science, of art, of litera ture, was holding up his head under that little firmament of violet and gold, denying history, telling Englishmen that their recollections deceived them, affecting to believe that George 111., who was mad half hie life, and mischievous all the rest, performed those vest achievements which almost redeemed a policy Meet with diameter and disgrace. Pity that Mr. Thaektray was not there, repenting of Die Edin burgh apology, and resolving, for the future, never to coin- ealsesnite thiiinibeseility of Prince Albert's model monarch, to whom England owes that the combined power*, during a series of wars, did not commune her utterly. The great Bourbon war and the American war were carried out by George Ran, so/us; Pitt, Nelson, Wellington, were the puppets of the kingly Esergumenco. Prince Albert, speaking of the kindly and charitable Duchess of Gloucester, in whom beneficence was a virtue unalloyed by orientation, was, perhaps, bound by courtly duty to flatter hie father's name. Well, he need not have beam perplexed how to Impute a good quality to the third George. There was something personally likelde in the THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. MEETINGS FOE THE NEXT WEEK.

Tho new library of the British Museum was thrown open to public inspection to-day (Saturday), the an nounced design of opening it on the Bth haring bean deferred in consoquonce of the funeral of the late Duchene of Glou meter. The exhibition of the designs for the proposed now government ufnees attracts great attention. Westmin ster Hall is daily crowded. . . A contest is now being carried on between the council of the Royal Medial Benevolent College and • number of the governors of that institution, the roves bell; being the interpretation of half • dozen words in an act of parliament. At the meeting of the Royal Society, on Thursday at Burlington Donee, the following candidates were recom mended by the Council foe election :—Lionel Smith Beale, Esq. ; Georg, Bode, Esq. ; George Bowdler Bucktota, Esq.; Thomas Davidson, Req. ; George Grote, Esq. ; Row land HA Req. ; the Rev. Thomas Kirkman; William Marcel, M.D. ; John Marshall, Req. ; Andrew Smith, M.D. ; Robert Angus Smith, Esq. ; Charles Piaui Smyth, Eq.; Mazy Clifton Sorby, Esq. ; John Welsh, Eq. ; Joseph Whitworth, Esq. About ten years ago Mr. Thomu Brown, of Dub lin, left 20,0001. to the University of London to found an institution for the investigation and treatment of the diseases of quadrupeds and birds useful to man. The next of kin, unwilling to POO this pleasant little sum go directly to the dogs, have twice tried to invalidate the bequest. On the trial their efforts were defeated by the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and against this decision they have again ap pealed in the Court of Chancery. The Lord Chancellor ham given judgment again against them, with cats. Knight Bruce observed that not to thus burthen them with the costs would be "a most mischievous piece of injustice." Mr. Cox, of the Bodleian . , is executing hia oom minks to search for ancient manuectipta in Greece with some suonea. We (At*,woos) hear thSt he has recovered a oxisiderable number, some of which inlaid to be unknown in Europe. Lord Lyons placed a steamer at Mr. Co.'. ser vice when at Repent ; since then the collector has visited the Greek islands, and ransacked ancient monasteries. He may shortly return to England with his treasures. This day the great agricultural jubilee meeting of Austria will open at Vienna, to which city large amount of our English agricultural machinery has been despatehed. The annual meeting of the Central Agricultural Society of Paris has just been held, and an important address delivered by its president. The entries of implements and machinery for the Salisbury meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society are said to be large beyond precedent, and the arm:gement' inrogrose, for the machinery to be exhibited at work, of a highly satntactory charactor. The Cheater meeting of the same society, to be held nest year, will be marked by peculiar tenures of interest, especially by heal prim for Cheshire cheese, dairy cattle, bones, Etc, to the amount of nearly 1,6001. The county meeting for 1869 will be held at some place to be selected from the Warwick district; and that fur 1800, trom a place in the counties of Kent or Surrey. The plan of Lady Franklin's Arctic Expedition is now annutged. A glans at any recent map of the Arctic regions (says the AtAsnewfw) shows that nearly the whole area coat sad west of the outlet of the Fish River baa been swept by government searching expeditions. Apart, then, tromthe fact that Esquimau.' reports point to every limited locality where the great Arctic mystery lies concealed, we Sr. warranted In hoping that a search within an area embracing not more than 370 miles; of coast, may be rewarded by the discovery of the Erebus end Terror. Captain M'Clintock proposes to make his way down Prince Regent's Inlet, and thence through Rennes Strait to the geld of search; or, should the ice per to proceed direct to It by going down Peel Sowad,which he has good reason. for believing to be a strait. If pre ' vented by the ice from passing through Bellot's Strait, or going down Peel Sound, he will abandon the idea of taking his ship through these channels, and, leaving lr r in safety in Prince Regent's Inlet, will proceed to search for the Erebus and Terror by sledging parties, so successfully need in the late expedition, in conducting which Capt. M'Clintock particularly distinguished Wilmer A correspondent of the Spectator calls attention to the Society of Female Artists, which is about to be seta. bliehed in the Regent-circus, Oxford-street, to begin with an exhibition of works which will open on the let of June. The admission of female artists to the establlshed exhibition societies ia limited ; " and although It may be true," observes our contemporary, " that the se; has produced no great painter, with only ens Rosa Bonheur, it is equally true that it has produced a Lady Waterford, • Mrs. Donovan, and • Mrs. Boyle. The art of drawing and *siting is a moat pleas fug acoomplishmert, but it is more—it dieciplines both eye end hand; it teaches the mind exactor.; it helps to es the memory and illustrate the communication of thought. Now to the acquiring of that art teaching is needed; teachers are heat produced by development of the art as widely as possible: and here is a good field of female employment extended by one of the many commendable 'Hort, of the day. The new exhibition will affonl to profitasional *lies an opportunity Loth of showing their competency and of selling the pictures and drawings that they may produce; and in order to render the collection yet more attractive, several ladies of known taste and profi ciency have promised to contribute their own works." TILE ART TREASURES On Thursday, the number of season ticket-holds who entered the Exhibition nu counted—not estimated merely, es wee the use on Wedneeday—end the exact num- her of visitors was ascertained to be 4,721, of whom 2,214 paid (2s. Gd. each) at the doors. The payments are registawi by the turnstiles, but at the entrance for season tickets this machinery bas been dispensed with, from a deferential re gard to the requirements of crinoline. The prevalence of an mist wind hes doubtless restricted the number of visitors hitherto, but the public appreciation of the Exhibition hu already been suflitiently monifeeted. There is still a satis factory sale of season tickets. The gallery of modern masters appears to receive the most attention, but there is not much difference in the numbers to be found ;in any part of the . . . The orchestral performance., directed by Mr. Halli•, in themselves a great attraction, and there is always a consi derable audience seated in the transepts. In the picture gal leries the manic is but faintly heard, and therefore does not distract the attention of those who would give themselves up for a time exclusively to the contemplation of the paint ings. Except on Thursdays, when Mr. Halle conducts in person, the band is under the direction of M. Becguie, sub conductor of the Italian Opera at Paris. It is intended to devote the first part of each day's programme to a selection from the classic compositions, and the second to works of a lighter character, but excluding dance mune, The ex cellence of the performances has obtained general Nl:emenda tion. waw mentme; h veelliMlng betweemisst IstderdleM, IstenTh ". meart7 steeeseseingTin ettlfe r 77o nim . 7lle --" rink w ed li7litl7 puppet.

According to ;nother rennet', the fence gssitlawita hu be ukod to withdraw his resigUtios. The Press gives the story of Sir Robert Peel's retirement in this wise:—"The Irish chief secretaryship, vacated by Mr. llorsman, has caused ministers considerable embarrassment. Amongst the English members of parlia ment who (it is mid) solicited the office, is that sage Senator Sr Robert Peel! His father wee ones chief secretary, and why should not the present member for Tamworth obtain the past ? But the cabinet did not respand to his ambitious preteusions, and Sir Robert Peel resigned his lordship of the Admiralty. Such, and not the contemplated arrival of the Grand Duke, was the real cause of Lis withdrawal from office." The United Serriee Gazette says that at tho Ad e:al:shy Sir R. Peas departure, unlike Mr. litines Imes taking, is a matter of mine regret. " Sir Robert will nut be mimed se an Atrial, but se a gentleman ; for with •11 his wealuseeme he is Mewed with a good dispoition, end kriowe how to treat gentian= connected with him in busbies. with proper reepert." The Jew Bill will, it is believed (says the Weekly DispaeA), be introduced into the Hume of Commas by the Premier Idniself, and into the House of Lida, probably, by Earl Onamle, or perhaps *ma Lord Lyndhurst.

Chief Justice Cockburn possibly aspires to the portfolio of justice, should that department be crested ; but the great seal would probably be the price of Sir Richard Bothell or Sir William Page Wool. Sir Richard Bethel' should be promoted. Mr. l'hinn might practically explain his meson for giving up his post as permanent secretary to the Admiralty, by assuming the Attorney or Solicitor-General ship. That is to say, unless he has flied his eye upon the mak of the bench that is to be vacated, it is ssid, by Mr. mastics:Coleridge. Lord Pancoure's secession from tge ministry la also problematical, as well as the appointment of Mr. Sidney Herbert in his plsoo. It Is understood, how ever, that Lord Panmuro is weary of his duties, and Mr. Sidney Herbert, an enthusiastic army reformer, and strong personal friend of the Premier, certainly has pretensions to be his sueoresor." Irt some circles it is stated that the Lord Chan cellor will at once retire, and will be racceeded by Sir R. Bothell, the previa Attorney-General, in which event Mr. Edwin Jams, Q.C., will be Attorney or Solicitor-Gement' . . . . , - and Mr. Keating or Mr. Collyer fill some legal appointment. The directorship of the East India Company, vacated by Major Oliphant, will be filled up by the appoint ment of another government nominee, and not by the proprietors. By cisme 6of the late act for the government of India, the first three vacancies in the directors—not nominated by the crown—are to be filled by the crown, so as to make sin government nominees and twelve elected by the proprietors.

The Saturday Review is of opinion that the whole • sore of the opening of the now yorliensent was irresistibly ocasicel. During the impeachment of Raiding*, Sheridan hate bring forward a charge which was to be supported by documentary widest,. When he came to the House of Louie be had never teed the papers, so he opened an imagi nary Cale. The Chancellor celled for the documents, which, it is seedless to Pay, were not forthcoming. Ilia bag, It wee said, had been mislaid. The ma• nape still proceeded in his Invective, end advanced new chergee—the Chancellor again called for the papers. Fresh expreema were despatched to seek for the missing bag. Mr. Fox grew uneasy at the accident which had befallen his friend's papas, end proposed to Michael Angelo Taylor to go and look fur the beg. But Michael Angelo, who was in the acme, whispered to Fon in a tone of indescribable hu mour, " Why, the man Us no bag: " "As we listened," says the Satrirdny &rim, "to the opening' of the First I Min otter of the Crown on Thursday night, we could not help repeating to ourselves ' Why, the man has no bag and we felt almost ethanied that wo ourselves, in common with all the rest of the world, thought it only a capital joke." The Spectator, urging the establishment of a school for the education of staff-officers in the British army on the principle of competition, observes .—" During the war in the Crimea, there was a loud outcry for an educated staff. But now that the peril is over, the nation is likely to forget the wisdom and duty of calling forth scientific officers; just es Napier tells um, that so soon aa the Peninsular war was finished, England lost ' all memory of its veterans' services' Will the nation continue to labour under this serious reproach ?

NEW ORGAN FOR THE CATHOLIC Serracrtniins.—Yesterday Mr. Edmund Chipp gave a per formanos before a crowded assembly to test the powers of a new large organ which Messrs. Bishop and Starr, of Limon grove, have constructed for a Roman catholic church in Spitalfields. The organ is divided—as is frequently done at the present day in similar cases--into two parts, the object being to display in the interval the fine effect of a noble stained glass window.

It is to be opened in public worship on Whit Sunday., ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Madame Bodo appeared on Thursday, for the first time this meson, in Ripletto, an opera which him no greet intrinsic merit, but bee bed considerable success in this country, mainly owing to her beautiful singing, Wed to Rene:oars powerful acting in the character of the vindictire Jester. Bogie was meet warmly welcomed by a full hones, and looked end sang as charmingly sa ever. She has passed the winter sawn in Russia, where she was in the highest favour, and made quite a /wore in the Troriata ; sad in consequence of this moms, we observe that she is to ap pear in this opera on Thtunday next. It will be somewhat curious to compare her reeding of the part with Picmlominf s. There is no doubt that she will sing the music with greats finish; but whether she will succeed, ea the young ➢rims dogma of the Haymarket has done, in not only divesting a painful character of ita most repulsive features, but in rm• daring it positively captivating, is a thing which remains to be seen. It would be as well, perhaps, that the experiment were not made; for we cannot but think that the English public have bad enough of the Tray:ea.
