It is li•ared the crop will be further returded in consequence of the trains causing a spring in the ripe canes. The wind is also unfavourable fur grinding it is light, an steady. and shifting from one point of the compass to another. The heat of the atmosphere for some days has been meat oppressive." This, of course, is advantageous for the next year's crop, but rather, unfavourable for the taking of the present crop. The Board of Council and house of Asscmhly of Antigua bad agreed to petitions which arc to be presented to the Lords and Commons, prepared by a joint com mittee, against any further diminution of the diffe rential duties on tun•ijn sugar and molasses. 'llw island of St. Christopher had been refreshed with unusual showers of rain. 1; At lhaninica, the 31agoss-house, on the Good svill estate, had been destroyed by tire. The oppressive drought in St. Thomas hail been gums ded by an abundance of rain. Ihe accounts from the other West India islands are favourable. llcr Majesty's ship lmaum was at Port Royal, with the Alban steamer and Apollo troop-ship, the latter having a relief of the 97th Regiment on board, to sail on the 13th fur Halifax. Her Majesty's ship Helena was at Barinduct+. Tim Hercules troop-ship sailed on the 13th ult. for St. Lucia, Dominica, and Antigua to embark detachments of the 51th Regiment. From Antigua she was to pro. aced to Trinidad to embark the 72nd, and proceed with both regiments for Canada. The schooner lier iamb was at Grey Town on the '2nd of June, and the Scorpion at St. Thomas. The royal mail steamer Conway was on the Havannah route on the lsth alt. ; the lkrwent at St. Thomas, the Eagle at Bar. bailors, the Thames at Carthagena, on the 9th ; the Trent at St. Thomas on the Isth. coaling for the Spanish Main, and waiting the arrival of the Great Western, with outward mails of the 2nd ult. Thu latter was to proceed to the Gulf of Mexico. Her Majestr and I'rinee Albert resumed their in spertion of the 'Works of Industry of All Nations on Satur day morning, arriving at the Exhibition at half-past nine o'clock, accompanied by the Prince's Royal, the Princess Alice, sad the Princess Helena, and attended by the lion. Lucy Kerr, Lord Charlet Fitzroy, and Lieut.-Col. Francis Hugh Seymour. The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, attended by Mr. Birch, visited the Exhibition on Saturday forenoon. The Duchess of Kent, attended by L.sdy Augusta Bruce, Baroness de Speth, and Sir George Couper, also paid a visit to the Exhibition on Saturday forenoon. The Queen left at eleven o'clock with the Princesses, and returned to Buckingham-palace. I'rincc Albert remained to preside at a meeting of the Royal Comniissioa for the promutica of the Exhibition which was told at eleven o'clock. The eimmissioners present were—the Earl of Raise, the Earl of Ellesmere, Earl Granville, Lord Overdone, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Sir Diehard %V, stinacott, Sir Churl( s L. Eastlake, Mr. Baring M.P., Mr. Larry, Mr. Barley, Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. 'Cubirt, Mr. T. l . Gibson, Mr. John Gott, Mr. Putty, M.P., Mr. R.

Lanl Jelin Hassell had an audience of the Queen on Sa turday, nt Buckingham Palace. Mailemoiselle Vanderruverbeh attended at Buckingham Palace, on Saturday afternoon, with her trained birds, and had the honour of performing in the pretence:of the Queen, and the l'rince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, and the younger members of the Royal Family. Print, Arthur and the Princess Louisa took an airing, Me 46,errer.) The occasion of her Majesty honouring the enter tainment of the City of London, on Wclnesday evening next, at Guildhall, in celebration of the Exhibition of the World's Industry, bids fair to surpass anything of the kind that we.. perhaps ever witnessed in this country. We arc in a position to state positively that her Majesty has fixed the wrist of her arrival at Guildhall for hllf.past nine o'clock. Tho order observed will be semi-state. Nearly the whole of her Majesty's household will take part in the procession, which will leave Buckingham Palace a few minutes before nine o'clock in the following form : the ace:mint of her Majesty's gracious visit to the City, on the th instant, I am anxious publicly to stato that I con sider that such a demonstration wined bo peculiarly appro priate so far as It embraces the line of streets through which her Majesty will pass from Temple Bar to the place of enter tainment. As it is intended that Temple liar shall be an object of brilliant display, I trust that a spirit of friendly conciliation will characterise the ta , to of my fellow-citizens throughout the hoe I have indicated. It is my intention to illuminate the Mansion House." It was yesterday rep irted that it is the intention of the great public establishments iu the City to illuminate on the night of the royal ball. Tue 'moss.—At ten o'elork on Saturday night the workmen were actively engaged in the construction of her Majesty's throne. The elevation of it will be about twelve feet, and the width twenty feet, and it will be of Gothic architecture ' composed of silver and gold. In the centre will be elaborately embla• zoned the royal arms, and on either side the * Prince of Wales's and l'rinco Albert's arms ; immediately before it will be placed two richly gilt dragons on a raised dais. In the crypt much it yet to he done to complete the works by Monday evening, which is the time limited. On Tues day morning the parties contracting for the sup; ly of the refreshments will take charge of the hall, under the direction of the entertainment committee. The side en trance in Basinghall-street will he closed. and Cie public no longer permitted admission under any pretence. A programme of the festival, for the guidance of the repre sentatives of the press is in preparation; and only one feeling seems to actuate those who have the direction and management of this gorgeous pageant to give as much satisfaction as possible, and lighten the duties of all whose labours will be called iuto requisition on this occasion. The royal chair will be of gold and crimson silk velvet. A detachment of Life Guards, with the state trumpet _r. First carriage, drawn by two horses, containing the Field Officer in Waiting and Silver Stick in Waiting. Second carriage, drown by two bays, containing the Equerry in Waiting to the Queca, Equerry in Waaing to l'rince Albert, Groan in Waiting to the Queen, and Groom in Waiting to the Prince. Third carriage, drawn by two bays, containing the Trea surer of the Household, Lord in Waiting to the Queen, Lord in Waiting to the l'rince, and Clerk Marshall. Fourth carriage, drawn by two horses, conveying Gold Stick in Waiting, Captain of the lion. Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, Captain of the Yeoman of the Guard, and .Master of the Buckhounds. Filth carriage, drawn by two bays, containing Bed cliumber Woman in W: • g, Maids of Hanour in Waitiug, and Groom of the Stole to the l'nnce. Sixth carriage, drawn by two bays, containing Lady Su perintendent, Lord Chamlierlaa, L Lily of the Bedchamber, out Lord Steward. The seventh carriage, conveying her Majesty, the Queen, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Duchess of Suther land, Mistress of the Rubes, and the Duke of Norfolk, Master of the Horse. Escort of Life Guards. The route of the procession, on leaving Buckingham Pa lace, will be through the St. James's la;ric into Pall-mall, along Coekspur-street, Trafalgar-square, Strand, Fleet street, Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's Churchyard, Cheapeide, King-street, to the Guildhall. As previously announced, her Majesty has intimated her desire that the old custom of presenting the keys of the City to the sovereign when passing Temple-bar should be ilis peneeil with on the forthcoming occasion. Neither will the lord mayor, aldermen, and common councilmen be in attendance at the bar to receive the Queen and c,eort her to the hall, her Majesty leaving expressed a wish that that ceremony should also be omitted. To those who may be anxious to learn the rate the procession will keep, we may I mention that it will proceed at a sharp walking pace, similar to that observed at the opening of the Crystal Palace. The entire hoe of road from Buckingham l'oloec to the Guildhall will be kept by the police awl the Ist and 2nd Life Guards. The approach to the royal entrance of the hall in King-street will be lined by the corps of the Hon. Artillery Company, whose band, with that of the Life Guards will be stationed in the open space between the church of St. Lawrence, Jewry, and the Irish Chamber. On her Majesty alighting, she will he received by the lord mayor, recorder, and the other civic officers. The immediate approach to the throne will be lined by the Ilvw Corps of Gentlemen at Arnie, the Yeomen of the Guard, being also in attendauce in the passages through whichthe Queen will traverse. Tay. Guest lIALL has been entirely floored with boards. COS and Magog have received a new dress, and appear the I more juvenile for their holiday attire. The chandelier', which cost the corporation WV., have been lately decorated, the several compartments bearing alternately the royal arms laud the letters " V. 11." The ceiling from which they are suspended has been painted blue and white, and a new aperture made fur the purposes of increased ventilatiou. While on this subject it may be mentioned that a circular screen, in keeping with the architectural beauty of the building, has been placed entirely around it, so as to afford beventilation. To correct any bad effect that might be produced by the Hat ceiling and the gothic portions of the other parts of the hall, some false balconies, in the shape of a half-circle, have been erected, beautifully decorated with the City arms, and pieced at the basement of each window. Above these are thousands of garland, of all kinds of ttowen hanging from the ceiling to the wall, about midway from the flooring. These cheete and pretty decorations completely surround the wall, while the massive columns that support the edifice are covered with glistening silver and gold, terminating with huge branches to represent palm trees. Attached to the painted balconies are petulant festoons of flowers, and in tac centre droop clusters of every description of the richest fruits. The compartments beneath, not occupied by monuments, are magnificently decorated with allegorical designs of various countries, England alone excepted. 'They are thus arranged—From east to wett, Spain and Portugal, Norway and Sweden, France, Austria, Zollverein, Russia, America, China; northern wall, Germany, Den- I mark, Italy, Switzerland, Ituesia, and Austria, Egypt and Tunis, Prussia, Belgium. The design has been taken, as far as practicable, from the Great Exhibition, in compli ment to the august Sovereign and her l'rince Consort. The monuments have been all cleaned under the superiuteudence of the City mason, and some idea may be formed of the , activity which has been brought to hear, when it is stated 1 that the City plasterer in less than a week erected the scaffolding and cleaned the whole of the hall, and re moved the former. The Gothic dado has been panelled out in royal scarlet, and the whole of the lower portion of the building contributes to the ancient, nettle, and baronial style of the hall. The painting and plumbing de partments have been most judieionsly entrusted to, and efficiently carried out b 1 the corporation plumber. The south end of the hall, it is pretty well known, is nearly oc cupied by those perpetual overseers of civic banquets, Gog and Magog. In the centre is a brilliant star of glass, ma nufactured by Alderman Copeland, M.P., which, when lighted with gas, will produce an effect which has hitherto never been approached. The Mooring of the great hall, as well as the other portions of the building, will be covered with matting and richly-worked drugget. The VREUT in which her Majesty and the royal party will take refreshments will be boarded and covered as already mentioned. In each recess are immense silver glasses, six feet by nine, and at the base carved oaken side tables in the Gothic style, highly polished. Upon these will be placed the massive plate of the corporation and leading companies, relieved by vases and other works of artistic design. Be tween each of the double row of columns running down the centre, will be placed allegorical flgutes, beariug in each band an immense candlestick, from which will emerge a gas branch encased in glass. 'lO promote ventilation in this part of the building, the modern arches (built after the great fire), have been opened, and will be railed off the crypt. This additional space will be hail out in imitation of a vinery, flower stands, figures. and gas branches being placed in the recesses. It should be stated that the walls, columns, &c., of the crypt will be hung with Berlin ta pestry, and that the figures supporting the lights will be arrayed in full armour cap ci pie, the whole scene intend ing to represent the famous picture by Dude. The table at which her Majesty will sup is placed in the centre of the crypt, and 6 12 feet by 3ei, and covered with scarlet cloth. THE ALDERMEN'S ROOMS have been fitted up in a con venient and sumptuous style as retiring rooms. The open courts leading to them have all been covered in, the case ments taken out, and in the temporary rooms formed out of' the courts a novel and exceedingly Meant's! idea has been carried out of producing by means of calico and transparent scarlet cloth, illumined from behind with gas, a soft and enchanting hue upon the colossal figures displayed to the sight. The chief work of art is Satan representca in a lean ing position glancing towards the garden of Eden, which is seen through a gauze mist in the background, with the figures of Adam and Eve reposing. The painting is the first attempt to associate the scenic effect of the sculptor and the artist in this peculiar manner. The streets will be cleared at six o'clock, and barren' erected, and at half past six o'clock the hall will be opened for the reception of visitors. The number of invitations has been confined to 2,400. The Mansion house and all the public buildings will be brilliantly illu minated. By the present arrangements her Majesty will arrive at Temple Bar at half-past nine o'clock. ILLUMINATIONS ON THE NIGHT or THE Q - ELN'S VISIT To THE VI/Y.—The Lord Mayor, on Saturday, on taking the chair at the Mansion-house, sad: reply to the several applications which have been made to me by bankers, merchants, and ethers who are desirous of e vpress- Mg their feelings of loyalty and devotion by illumination on on Saturday, in an open carriage awl four.

THE PENINStLAR .'ND ORIENT tt COMPANY'S STESKEIt ErmiNc, Captain Evans, arrived at Southampton yesterday. Iler dates are, Constantinople, June 10; Smyrna, 21; Malta, 25; Gibraltar, 30; she brought large ship letter bags from all the above places. She also had on board a bag of letters from the west coast of Africa, having picked up a sea pilot who had been on board the Jersey Lass, bound from that coast to London. Among the pas sengers by the Enaine were 130 Polish and Ilungarian offi cers and men from the Dardanelles. Three of the officers were Generals Bulhuryn and lelaikowski, and the Polish Bishop Nieuradowski, the latter of whom fought with the patriots in both the Polish and Hungarian revolutions. leleikow.ki led the Polish division in the Hungarian war, and was the bosom friend of Kossuth—Kossuth wrote a farewell letter to him on the CPC of his departure. It was written in French. and was dated from " Kutabja, Asia Milieux, 7 Mai, Itidl," and was addressed to " My master and esteemed friend." The letter breathed the tenderest and most pathetic emotion., and was evidently written with a trembling hand. Idzikowski and his compatriots were liberated from Kutasah at the same time as Massaro., but they refused to leave Turkey, even to go on board an En glish steamer, until they had a guarantee from Sir Strat ford Canning that they should be secured from Russian and Austrian treachery. During their stay in Turkey they received letters from the Kutayah captive. stating that the rigour of their captivity had been increased. The Turkish government had, however, solemnly promised that Kos suth, Fenzel, Batthyany, and the Polish General Wysock should be released on the llth September next (For markets sic last page.) Titi: ELECTION DISTUABANCES tit TILE ISLE or lIT. --At the Hants quarter sessions at Winchester sit Thurs.lay fat, Samuel Deavis, Charles Stevens, Robert Reward, JO,, I IIIIIeW4VM, William Bishop, Charles Meader, William kowler, Thiene* Dimmick, livery Gregory, Thu. etas Gregory. John Ilurvey, and George Young, were in dicted fora riot at liple MI Monday, May the 'alith, during the pmeasas of the polling ut the election of a represented, e for the Isle of Wight. The prosecution, the expenses of whiele are chargeable to the county, was conducted by '11k1.11114% Ile Arne, clerk to the Uric bench of magistrates, and who war the paid agent at the election of the defeated canaidate, Captain Ramona, R.N. Messrs. Poulden Keel Compton were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Saunders foe the whole Of the defendants, with the exception of Charles Stevens, whose cause was udvocated try Mr. Wyse. The trial occupied fano 10 o'clock in the morning till 10 ut night, but the only facts of import that were deposed to, were that George Young had been seen to throw a stone during the excitement existing among the crowd at the polling booth, on which he was talon into castody. The defendant, Joseph Deward, made a slight attempt to prevent this, when he was also taken by the police into custody. On this, the hatter's brother, Robert Reward, with the assembled crowd, Created a tumult which assumed the appearance of an attempt at rescue. This was prevented by the magistrates discharging the prisoners front confinement. William Yowler, a boy, was proved to have thrown some stones, but, as the police stated, merely in a random way, without 'striking any one. William Bishop, who is lessee of the market house where the poll was held, had. on seeing a woman, with a child in her arms, bleeding from a cut across the head, iudieted by the police in one of their "charge, - on the people, addressed the superintendent of police in a very excited manner, declaring that he would write to the Secretary of State in referenee to the conduct of the force; and that had he known how the police were going to act ho would not have let the Market house fur the purpose of the election. Other of the defendants were deposed to having joined with the crowd in the cry of " rat" at diderent voters. :inil in throwing rotten cage at them, but without inflicting much injury. Besides proving these particular acts against the deleted:ints individually, the prosecution sought to prove the existence ot a riotous assemblage of persons, of whom the defendants formed part; but the evidence in this respect was very inconclusive, only going to the extent that one defendant was seen in the crowd at nine in the morning, a few others in the afternoon, and two or three more in the evening. Theriutous conduct of the crowd, as proved by the evidence, went no further than shouting and hissing at obnoxious voters, the occa sional throwing of clods of turf, eggs, and a few stouts. The chairmau of the sessions, in aildreming the jury, ex his opinion that some of the acts of a few of the de b were rather of the character of assaults than that ea riot, but left them to say whether the whole of the cir eamstances proved against any or all of them amounted to a riot.—The jury having considered their verdict for a few minutes, acquitted the whole of the defendants. SEIZCRE, Or COLLEGE Tait PoOft liaTEi. —The pariah officers of St. Ahlatefe, Oxford, in pursuance of a distress warrant granted by one of the city magistrates, made a VS irate on Friday of two silver teapots, the property of the Master and Fellows of l'cmbruke College, who had refused to contribute the sum of sheen pounds, charged upon the College, towards the support of the poor. The ground of refusal for pay ing the rate is, that the College is extra-parochial. A s imilar seizure was made a short time since of the plate belonain4 to New Inn hall, but was shortly afterwards redcealeel by the Rev. Dr. Wellesley (Priecipal of the Hall). Subsequently notice of action for an illegal distress has been Vs eve il upon the pariah officers of St. l'eter-le-Barley, where the hall is situated. It is expected in the present case the college authorities will adopt similar proceedings. The ratepayers are determined to try the question as to the liability of tire colleges to con tribute to the support of the poor of Oxford. TIIE GOLD COAST COLD`4.—The Naral awl Mili tary thrutte states: "The formatiou of this corps is still de ferred, and it is quite possible that it may continue to be esti mated for another year without any appointments being made.

Tiir: CASE OF SHOOTING .1T A GR.tDt tTE OF Custer CittllClL—Sir Benjamin Brodie being' on a visit to this university, it was arranged that ho should examine Mr. Rases wounds, which he did on Thursday afternoon, and expressed an opinion that although the injured gentle man was going on favourably, he should not leave his room for another week, as the excitement attendant upon giving evidence in a court of justice might retard his recovery. On Friday, Cattelwell was again brought up, and the necessary ..positions having been taken, h 2 was fully com mitted to take his trial at the ensuing lh rk, Summer Assizes, at Abingdon, on a charge of wilfully and maliciously shooting at Mr. Ross, with intent to do him sonic grievous bodily harm. Upon application bein made, he was admitted to bail, himself in 2001. and two niceties in 1061. cub, to appear as obovo-o.efidr.i Chronicle.

DIL MERLE D'AUBIGNE AND TliE BISHOP OF LONDON. We understand that the following address has been transmitted to Dr. D'Aubigne on the part of the Metropolitan Church Reform Association : Itevereud Doctor,—The duty of communicating with you has devolved upon us in the following way : At the second conference of tile Metropolitan Church Reform Association, held on the 25th ult., it was unani mously resolved (as will be seen in several of the daily papers of the 2tith June) that the association should ex press its deep regret that a more fraternal welcome mid an unqualified recognition of equal ministerial functions had not been given by the metropolitan clergy to Dr. Merle D'Aubigne and the other (memo evangelical pastors now in London, and that a communication of these sentiments be made to them by the gentlemen who had brought the matter before the a:woo:lotion—vie., the Rey. G. G. Beadun, Rev. Geo. 11. Stoddart, and Chas. Dublients Johnson, Esq. Your departure, reverend sir, precludes our having the privilege to wait upon you to express in person these sen timents; and we, therefore, thus address you by letter, and, in pursuance of the duty delegated to us, we explicitly disclaim, upon the part of the Church Returns Association, the sectarianism that has declined to welcome to the pulpits of our national church the seriptutally ordained pastors of other branches of the one universal church. We d, plore this the more as it ha. , , in contradistinction to the spirit of our earlier reformers, prevent. d the manifesta tion of the true catholicity of the church of England, and therefore has a tendency to relax the bonds of union which have hitherto existed between the church of England find the protestants of the continent, and because it has pre cluded ups., the present occasion a happy realisation of the communion of saints which would have well be seemed us. We feel assured, indeed, that the impartial historian of the Reformation will nut suppose this unbrotherly reception to have resulted from the sentiments of the general body . of protestant§ in Great Britain, but front a misguided section of the clergy having exere.sed an undue influence upon their diocesan, thus displaying a jealousy which too closely approximate , to that exclusive arrogance of the papacy, which the history of the Reformation has so thoroughly exposed. And it is our conviction, reverend sir, that the majority of protestant Christiana in the United Kingdom, both epis copaliun and presbyterian, repudiate and regret the inhibi tion front the pulpits of our national church unhappily issued by the Bishop of Loudon, at the instigation of a por tion of his clergy, but too notorious for their tractarian Im becilities and Romish tendencies. . . As an ass-xi: thou, labouring to carry forward the glorious Reformation to its legitimate development, and desirous to cleanse the national church from every ground and pretext of Iturnish teaching and practice, and from all ecclestastical malversation in office, we specially protest against the illi beral sectarianism exhibited towards yourself, the Rev. M. Roger, and the ltev. M. Armand lk Lille. While express ing to yourself our high estimation and regard, we also desire you will make known to the other foreign evangeli cal pastors (who have visited London at the invitation of the Bishop of London himselt), our fraternal salutation and lively interest in all that concerns your and their spiri tual welfare. Requesting you and them to accept this humble testimony of sympathy offertsl respectfully on the part of the Metropolitan Church Reform Association, we beg to subscribe ourselves, Reverend and dear sir, your faithful brethren in the Lord, (Signed) GEORGE 11. STODDAILT, AM., Clerk, Hon. Secretary to the Metropolitan Church Reform Association. CEAIILES DUBLINUS JOHNSON. GEORGE GRIFFITH READON, Rector of Axbridge. To the Rev. Dr. J. 11. Merle D'Aubigni , , Geneva. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—Tho following gentlemen having undergone the necessary examinations were admitted members of the College on the 4th instant : Messrs. F. J. Wiadus, Madras ; S. Browne, Royal Navy W. 11. Felker, Oxford ; J. It. Pr.e., Il•olyhead ; It. Wil liams, Himont, Montgomeryshire ; 11. B. Sayers, Bandon ; F. Nuttall, Bury, Lancashire ; T. Halm, Fort Green, Staffordshire ; T. A. Bottomley, Huddersfield ; 11. Cole, Lewisham ; W. H. Harris, Barnstaple, Devon ; and B. Shillitoc, Hertford. Tux NEW SUGAR DrriEs.—The new and reduced rates of duty on all descriptions of colonial and foreign 1 sugars, which come into operation to-day (the ith instant), is expected to cause the deliveries of sugar from bond to be large ; and it is anticipated that the quantities of foreign, refined, and other sugars, required to be delivered on pay ment of the reduced duties for home use, will be so great that arrangements have been made for such deliveries to take place to a later hour than usual, is order to meet the requirements of the trade. The retail price of first-rate refined or lamp sugar is now less than half the price it was before the revision of the sugar duties took place, and the public will doubtless benefit to a still further extent on this fresh reduction of tho duties on all classes of foreign sugars. EXTENaIVE RODIMIIT OF iFWELS.—On Saturday information was received M the head police-office. Scotland yard, that the premises, 13, Lambeth-terrace, Lambeth road, had been entered and plundered of a quantity of the most costly description of Jewel:, set with diamond:, in value upwards of 400/. ; a Bank of England note fur *.:91. ; a number of sovereigns and half-sovereigns, 40 half-crowns, and two guineas in money. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The attendance at the Crystal Palace on Saturday exceeded by 376 that of the preceding five-shilling day. Daring the first hour 3,723 visitors were admitted, a num ber which was augmented to 11,713 in the course of the afternoon. The receipts at the doors amounted to 1,56.5!. 1.55., and the sale of season tickets produced 161. 16s. The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Princess Royal and the Prince of Wales, visited the Crystal Palace on Sa turday, arriving at their usual hour of half-past 9 o'clock. Tho royal party visited the north and north central gal leries, extending along the entire length of the British half of the building, and including, with a number of natural products, mathematical and surgical, civil engineering, phi losophical and musical instruments, and glass. Commencing at the head of the gallery, the Queen examined Mr. Apsley Pellat'smodel of the Koh-i-noer,with its two attendant gens. The glass is of the clearest crystal, without tho slightest tint, and the facet., are cut in close res,mbliece of the ori ginal. The accessories of the real gem—the velvet cushion, the gold stems and wires forming its supports, the glass shade, and the gilt cage—have all been so successfully imi tated, that it will be no discredit to the judgment of visitors unacquainted with the localities of the Crystal Palace, if they mistake the pseudo-diamond fur the Indian jewel. Among the specimens of manufactured glass visited by the royal party were the vases, globes. salvers, &c., silvered by Mr. Hale Thomps.in's process. A pair of vases of amber coloured glass, to which the silvering has given a rich golden hue, was much admired. The vases, which stand but 30 inches high, ore cut in deep intaglio. On one side is seen an en graving representing a group of wild horses surprised on their pasture by n panther, whic'a is springing from a tree ; and on another a grisly bear is attacking and destroying a single horse. A topaz-coloured drinking cup, the duplicate of one now at Windsor preiented to Prince Albert at the York banquet, and haring a medallion portrait of the Priam, also attracted much attention. After spending some time in examining Messrs. Cogan and Co.'s imitations in glass of marble, wood, lace, &c., ns well as the model of the Crystal Palace, the Queen passed into that part of the gallery containing the pianofortes and harps. Der Majesty retired at her usual hour, 11 o'clock. At a meeting of the Derby town council on Satur day, a petition to the Queen was adopted praying that the Crvital Palace may not be removed. It wal r.,olved to si ua the petition to the Duke of Divonskire presen tation. OPPOSITION TO TILE RETENTION OF TIIE CItYsTAL PALAFR FOR A WINTER GARTIEN.-011 Saturday, at an exceedingly full meeting of the Vestry of St. Marylelsme, held at the Court House, Murylelsone-lane, the 11ev. Hr. Spry, the rector, iu the chair, the following communication was received front Mr. W. E. Greenwell, the secretary to the Marylebone Committee for the Exhibition of Works of Industry of All Nations —" Great Exhibition of the Works of industry of All Nations.-441, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-wruery, July 4, RS..—sir-1 am instructed by the committee to request permission of the vestry of St. Marylebune to place a petition fur signature at the Court house, which is about to be presented to the House of Commons from the inhabitants of the borough, to take measures to prevent the removal of the exhibition building ; and the reference may be made to the court house for such purpose. I en close a copy of resolutioits, with similar petitions from this committee on the subject, and trust that the vestry concur in the dbjects sought for.—l am, sir, your very obedient servant, W. E. Glixesweta„ Secretary.-IL. Scare, Esq., &c."—Thu resolutions accompanying this letter etlirnied the opinion of the committee that the greatest advantages would result to the public from the continuance of the G reat Exhibition building as a winter garden. Sir l'eter Lmirie and several other gentlemen opposed the project, and, so strong was the feeling against it, that the vestry even re jected line application fur permission to allow petitions to lie at the court house in favour of its continuance. The argu ments were that the Great Exhibition had proved most pre judicial to every branch of trade, and was calculated to pro duce the evil to a still greater extent were it perpetuated. The application was rejected accordingly. LONDON UNIVERSITY. 7 -DISTRIDUTION OA PRIZES. On Saturday a distribution of prizes was made to students in the faculty of arts in this university. The dis tribution took , place in the lecture theatre, which was crowdesl, the friends of the students being admitted to wit ness the ceremonv. Sir JAMES Guanax prtwided. The DEAN oe FACULTY read a report which stated that, soon after the close of the last session, the professor ship of English law became vacant by the death of Pro fessor Marshinan, and that Mr. John A. Russell, barrister, of the Northern Circuit, foul been ap pointed in his stead, and in consequence of the appointment of Mr. Scott, professor of the English lan guage and literature, to the office of Principal of Owea's College, at Manchester, Mr. Clough, the principal of Uni versity Rah, had been appointed to that vacant professor ship. The total number of 'students in the faculty of arts and law during the present session had been 211. Of thew Pik attended the ordinary claw', and 417 the course of lec tures addressed peculiarly to schoolmasters. The number attending these latter classes hail increased since the last session by 8, but the total number of students fell short of the total number in the preceding session by twenty one. This was mainly attributed to the with drawal of the students of Coward's College, en dowed for the education of students for the unieersties among the independent dissenters, noel who, to the number of 15 or 16, had attended the university for secular learn ing, tint iu consequence of Coward's, Ilighbury, and Homerton colleges having obtained power to consolidate their foumlation., and having established a new institution at St. John's-wood, under the title of New College, London, the pupils of Coward's College were withdrawn from the university in a Isvly at the close of last session. In the course of the past year the university conferred the degree of LL.I). upon one of their old students, Mr. Edw. Streere, and the degree of M.A. in the branch of classics upon Mr. Edw.A. Leathern. Seven ache students hail taken the degree of ILA. with hoirmrs (the whole number whom the university had so distinguished being only ten), and of these Mr. Fra ncis Guthrie hail received the mathematical scholarship, and Mr. Hurndall the classical scholarship, and Mr. Hunt the mire in chemistry. Honours after the matriculation exa mination were awarded to nine stuibmts, of whom Mr. Jam s Savage had received the mathematical exhibition.

THE L tTE FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT LIVER- PooL.—On Saturday, an inquest was held in the infirmary, upon the body of Samuel Uritlith, the fireman, who was killed by the explosion of the Conway locomotive. The coroner took the evidence of the driver, Valentine, in his bedroom, and then verified it to tho jury. From all the evidence adduced it appeared that the engine had been built only three years, and was rated first class; that there could not have been sullicient water in the boiler, portions of the fractures being found discoloured, as if they had been overheated. Mr. t. Trevethick, general superintendent of locomotives, gave it as his opinion that there must have been an immense pressure on the boiler, and the safety valves, of which there were two, may have failed to work; one was so bent that nothing could be seen us to its work ing, and the other could not be found. The drivers undergo a routine drill before they arc appointed. The driver had stated that he heard a fizzing noise just before the explo sion, and this, Mr. Trevethick considered, arose from there being too little water in the boiler, and the steam escaping below the level of the fur nace.—Mr A. Allan, assistant locomotive manager, knew that the boiler and engine were sound at their last inspection only a day or two previously to the occurrence. His opinion was that the accident was caused by a deficiency of water in the boiler, and that very powerful explosive gases, which would be generated in a few minutes, were I formed in cuies;:quenee. lie thought so instantaneous would bu their effect, that no warning could be given. lie was perfectly convinced the boiler could not have burst at three times the ordinary pressure, as the tubes are tested before being used to the extent of 30011 w. to th e square inch. ' Artyr hearing these witnesses, the coroner remarked t hat be felt it would ho useless to carry the inquiry further. I Some of the jury agreed, stating that the driver was highly culpable, and a verdict of manslaughter against Valentine would iu ull probability have been found, only that, as the foreman observed, the man cannot possibly recover. Ulti mately, alter muck discussion, the jury returned an open verdict, " That death was caused by the explosion of a locomotive boiler, but that there was no evidence to show the cause of that explosion." IRELAND. Dtratnr, RPM 6. At a meeting of the Senate of the Queen's Uni versity for Ireland, held yesterday in the Council Clamber, Dublin Castle, the Right lion. the Lord Chancellor was elected Vice-Chancellor of the Uni versity, and the following gentlemen were chosen Cathcart Lees, M.D., in the Theory and l'ractice of Medicine; John Hamilton, MI)., in Surgery; 11. Carlisle, M.D., of Belfast, in Anatomy, Physiol.igy, and Compara tive Anatomy; James A:dohn, M.D., in Chemistry; Alex ander Fleming, M.D., of Cork, in Materia Medics, Phar macy, and Medical Jurisprudence; George J. Allman, M.D., in Zoology and Botany; Th.nris Wliecver, M.D., in Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and Children; William B. Blood, Esq., of Galway, in Engineering and Plan Drawing; Thomas Skilling, E.g., of Galway, in Agri cultural and Farm Management; John Stertlly, LLD., of Belfast, in Natural Philosophy and Practical Mechanics; James Nicol, Eat., of Cork, in Mineralogy and Geology. Letters have been received front Thomas Francis Meagher, and the other Irish political exiles, giving in bitter terms an account of the severity with which they have been treated by the Van Diemen's Land authorities. Meagher intimates that it was tho intention of Smith O'Brien and himself to give up their tickets of leave by way of expressing their disgust at the harshness ex..reised towards their friends; but adds that they had been prevented by the entreaties of the latter from adopting that course. Since the archdeaeonry of Dublin became vacant by the death of the late Dr. Torrens, a gwd dcnl of agitation has prevailed in Dublin on the subject of pluralities, and memorials have been presented to government for a division of the parishes enjoyed by the late dignitary. The following annou.icement, made in the Erening Pust, conveys the satisfactory intimation that these appeals have not been without effect : We understand that the order of the Privy Council, just age, ed upon, directs that the parishes of St. Peter, St. Kevin, and Donnybrook, shall in future form the arclulea, conry of Dublin, and that Taney and liathfarnham shall ho severed, and funned into separate parishes. The income of Tunny is about Mil. per annum, oad that of ltatlithrohant about 200 f. A great deal of time has been occupied by tho General Assembly of the Presbvteriun Church of Ireland, now sitting at Belfast, in diseu.ssions re bating to the establishment of the Magee College, and some of the debates on the subject have been charac terised by considerable warmth. The result, how ever, is, that there is to be no more litigation on tho matter, and that no more of the college fund shall ho drained by the lawyers. 'file Awning foal, in its reflections on the Trish census return, lays particular weight on the eth , ct which emigration has had in bringing about the fearful decrease of population which is disclosed. The Pool says: There is nothing so surprising in these returns as tho extent of diminution in the population of most of tha counties of Cister. The per centage of decrease in Clare and Tiplwsary is 21. mot that is exactly th • rroportion in Ferman:LA, where thniine had been romporatis,lv light. and baste-law taxation moderato. In Kerry the per cottage is but It), whilst it is 24 in Caron and Monaghan ; and even in Mayo it is 29, but one per cent. exceeding those two counties of Ulster. Nose, how is this to ho accounted for? Surely not by the mortality in Monk:lion or Cavan, but by the vast amount of emigration front those counties. From Kerry or Clare, where the per cent ime of decrease in the population was lower, the far greater part of the diminution has ben caused by deaths during the famine or the pedilonca that en•ned: mareivers had not the menus to emigrate, and they crowded the poor hauselk. But in Manighan and Cavan emerration must hive been the prime eauie of dim:maim. In order to show to what avast extent emigration has been instrumen tal in reducing the generalumulation of the country, wo copy from the " Statistics of Ireland," in Thom's Afmanoe, so remarkable for the great care and fidelity with which it is compikal, the following remarkable st detneat :—The emigration ufthe last three y..ant gives an annual average of 2h5,.10 person*, being not very tar short of the whole ; teal increase of the United Kingdam. If this emigration be ana- lyseol, the results as Inland will be much moro striking. For, °sunning nine-tenth" of the emigration from Liverpool to b e Irish (w hich is a low estimate), and evert oruittinr alto...ether, for want of accurate information, those who proceed from the Clyde, it will appear that the Irish emigration during the last thee.. yoart, has "eon 01,118 giving an average of 21)0,182 a year. Now, the increase of population in Ireland betwe. n It•e3 and 'till, as appears from the census raurns, was 1it;,723, in spite of an etniara , thin amounting during the .une years to csi,Vot, thus ranking the real inrtca.e to be 14449:0, or 86,234 ayear. Assuming the increase to have been at the same rate since It I when the population war returned at n.175,23ti, it would give the eight years, to the dose ofHD, it17,1t40 souls or M 4,43.1 per annum. The em , tratim, on tho •• average of the tot three years, according to this istintate, L Recoiled the increase of the population by V.M.811 souls per annum. At this rate, therefore, the !population would he decreased in about eight years I,y cntignition alone to the extent of 1,0011,010 soots ; and when it is also taken into • t . acronut that t1;4; ennitru comprio.; a lam proportion of thoxe who are in the rigour of life, vet on whom the in- croase of population mainly deponik, it may be assumed that its influence in checking . such increase is evtu greater than the mere liduri. , s imply. HER MAJESLTS THEATRE. This theatre was crowded to overflowing on Satur day evening, when the Queen, as had teen announced, visited it with all the "pomp and circumstance" of royal state. Splendid preparations had been mule for her Ma jesty's reception. The royal box, with that on each -ide, were thrown into one, and the whole W. 14 fwurmountcd by an elegant canopy, richly ornamented. The Queen and Prince Albert, with a larga party of illw trinus visitors, and at tended by a numerous suite, entered the box precisely at 8 o'clock, by which hour every part of the house was cam pktely tilled. The curtain instantly showed the stage open to its full extent, unit covered with people, including all the perfumers in the opera about to commence, with Una chorus, supernu_ merarics, &c., in their picturesque costumes ; and the loud vocal and instrumental harmony of " God save the Queen " was mingled with the shouts and acelamations of tho whole audience. ller Majesty never looked !setter. 11cr dress blazed with diamond., but its tied. and elegance were even more remarkable than its splendour ; her face beamed with pleasure and animation, and nothing could exceed the gram with which she acknowledged her en thusiastic reception.

The annual ora tion, in honour of the great discoverer of the circulation of the blood, was delivered ou Saturday, at the Royal Col lege of Physicians, Pall-Mall, by Dr Spurgin, in presence of Dr. Paris, the president of the c01ic?,.., end a number of the fellows. Mr. Justice Coleridge and Sir It. 11. Inglis, M.l'., w: r. also present with other distinguished visitors. ' The oration, whrth was as usual iteliversl in latin, was chiefly of a scientific and professional eharatter. Atter describing the nature of truth and characteristics, the craving for which, he said, was insatiable in the human mind, he proceeded to a consideration of tho two-fold method of its Inv, stigation, namely the synt..etic and analytic methods. Ile then proceeded to give a sketch of the life of liarvey and his scientific researches, which were well calculated to servo as a model to all who were engaged in the investigation of the secrets of nature. The memorable discovery of the circulation of the'lilood, by which the name of Harvey has become immortal, was one of those happy de ductions of genius which alter the fire of Faience, nuil be come the pregnant sourer of ii,w acquisitions in the regions of truth, for the promotion of human happiness, and the alleN ia tion of human suffering. 1)r. Spnrgin went on at some length to show the great influence which the discovery of Harvey had exercised over the direction of medical science, and concluded by some happy allusions to the groat topic of the day—" The Crystal Palace." The exhibition, with its I accumulated treasures of art and industry, he regarded as the , glory of our more peaceful era, and as the most striking pledge, of the future progress of mankind. ItIGIIT'S POCKET STOVE.—A select party of gentle men assembled at resale's Coffee-house, Fleet-street, on Saturday, to witness a series of experiments with au inge nious little stove invented by Mr. Rigby. The stove,which resembles in form an exaggerated chess "castle," is ouly about 6 inches in height by 41 inches in diameter, and does not weigh more than 2 lbs. Its principal peculiarity is a con trivance by which spirits arc consumed, the amount of heat thus generated being placed under the perfect control of the operator by means of a Email screw. Whether economy or speed be taken as the test of its capabilities, it certainly appeared to be, the th e successful portab _ . . has yet appeared before the public. ~... •.:',....--,_,_, .!
