The first boats which landed were fired upon by • party of twenty men, who fled on their fire being returned from the boat which contained Capt. Goal (a Cubea demanding an American company.) Lienteniust Latin/hem, and about thirty privates of his company. One of oouti's men was wounded in the arm, and returned in the ship, and the cap of the lieutenant was cut into halves on his head. At daylight Lopes sent a promo:winner/de to Los Poses, a email village ten miles distant, in which he informed the inhabitant. that ho was about t,l Mardi to that place, end would give so quarters to any whom he found there who did not join him. There being no means of transp orting baggage at Cabanas, where we landed, Lope: ordered Colonel Crittenden to remain there and protect our stores, consisting of 100,000 musket cartridge., 3,000 muskets, and 709 pounds of power, in kegs, together with the per sonal baggage of all the officers, saying thathe would much on to Los POW, with the regiment of infantry, commended by Colonel Downman, and send from thence transportation, and that he would remain there until joined by Crittenden. Accordingly, Lopez marched at 8 o'clock, with 323 men, leaving Crittenden at Cabanos, with 130 men. At 11 o'clock that night, Crittenden received two carts, and seeded ina diediately after, to join Lopes at Lee Pews. The carts being heavily loaded, and the roods bad, our progress was of necessity slow, not advancing more than a mile an hour. About two hours after daylight, on the morning of the 13th, we reached a house containing a store and grog shop, about for miles from Its Poem. The advance guard and main body only had reached the' house (the rear guard, with the carts, being still some quarter of a mile behind), and were engaged in eating breakfast, their arms being laid aside, when they were sur prised by the report of musketry and the whistling of bul lets, which proceeded from the advanced guard of a body of the enemy, five hundred wrong. We immediately seised our guns, and killed nine of the enemy, and made one prisoner, none of our party having b.en injured. Not geeing any more of the enemy, the colonel concluded it was but a foraging party that had attacked us, and our rear guard having come up with the carts, ordered ns to resume our breakfasts, which we did. About ten minutes after, we were again attacked by the whole force of the enemy, they having the advantage of position, bring posted on the brow of a hill overlooking our position ' with a belt of chapparal some three hundred yards wide inter vening, ever which we could not fire. Crittenden Mime (Lately gave the order to charge, leading himself, and forced the enemy to retreat to a large body of ehapparal, Dome seventy-five or eighty yards in the rear of their find position, from which they opened • heavy fire upon our Sores as soon as it appeared in sight on the brow of the hill. Finding he could not maintain that position, Critten den gave an order to retreat to the house, which was done, while the enemy resumed his position on te bill, and again opened his fire; upon which Crittenden . ordered a second charge, at the same time saying that he w ished a small party to attain a position at the right flank of the enemy, to charge from that side at the same moment he charged from the front. Second Lieutenant, W. 11. Crafts (also of Company R), and myself volunteered, and succeeded in attaining the position with twenty men. After remaining in it fur about half-an-hour. and hearing nothing of Crittenden, we re turned to the house, where we found Capt. Kelly, of Com pany A, wi'h ten men, guarding their carts, but could hear or sic nothing of Crittenden. the enemy soon after ad vancing towards the house, we were compelled to retreat, leaving our baggage and stores; and that night, or rather the nest morning, we succeeded in forming ajunction with Loper at Los Puma, half-an-hour before his march from that place. At the same hour that Crittenden was attacked at the hacienda, a body of the enemy, eight hundred strong, under General Enna, attacked Lopez at Los l'osas. After a hard light of over two hours, the enemy retreated, leaving the American' masters of the field, and over two hundred of their number (among whom were several of their highest officers) dead and wounded—the American low being in killed, wounded, and missing, only about thirty men,among whom Culonel Downman and Lieutenant Loins:in were killed, and General l'ragay and Captains Brigham and Gouti were mortally wounded. After the action, the Spanish wounded were brought in and as well taken care of 011 circumstances would admit. Lopes rode entirely Un armed over the field, through the hottest of the fir,', occa sionally applying a red raw bide with a great deal of vi• gout to the shoulders of such men as be thought could be hurried into tiring a little faster. 011 the morning of the the 14th, at two o'clock, Lopes marched from Los Posas into the mountains, leaving there 17 wounded Spaniards and 13 of our side, all of whom were bayonetted by the Spaniards, and their bodies piled in a heap, crossways, at the foot of a hill Two days after (on the 16th) Lopes was again attacked by three hundred lancer', and six hundred infantry, while encamped at a hacienda which formerly belonged to himself, but was confiscated sense three years since. Here the action lasted from 11 to 2 o'clock, on one of the hottest days 1 ever experienced. The enemy were again compelled to retreat, with a loss of three hundred and twenty men, and at the same moment that the retreat of the Spaniards in one direction was reported to Lopes, be issued an order to his own force to retreat in the oppo- site, and actually,. that day, made a forced march of eighteen miles in five hours, over a mountain road. On the 19th, being still on the mountains, wo were overtaken by a severs rain storm, which destroyed the greater portion of our ammunition, and rendered our gene entirely useless. We encamped, on the evening of that day, at a rancho at the him of the mountains, about two leagues from Ilahia liouda. We remained undisturbed that night; and were attacked just at breakfast time on the morning of the 20th, being taken by surprise, the sentry on the outpost having left his post to wash himself in a creek, where he was killed. Owing to the unserviceable condition of their arms, the force under Lopes was completely routed, flying to the mountains in all directions—Lopes him self barely escaping on horseback, with the loss of his saddle, pistols, and spyglass—of every thing, in fact, but what he wore. That night he encamped on the top of one of the highest mountains on the Island of Cuba, mimed to all the violence of • terrific norther, without shelter, fire, or foot).

Lopes was entirely at liberty, and smoked his cigarette with apparently u much unconcern as he ever did in his life. Outside the harbour of Hanel, Lopes was transferred to the steam frigate Pizarro, which con- bi. rd this r to THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1851.

The =n passed through a regular process, their hair first eat clime to their heads. They then passed into the beads of another barber, who deprived them of their whiskers ; then smother provided them with a pri. son uniform, and the entelees were terminated by a big negro, wbo securely fastened them in pairs by a chain, similar in sire and weight to a log chain, firmly secured to the code. At the time of say release from prison, which was at 10 o'clock on the night of the 4th instant, there were 163 of our form prisoners. They were all chained, and confined in on. large room hardly large enough, however, for all to lie down at once. They were treated very kindly, and allowed all the privileges that could be expected. As a matter of coarse, where so many men are confined in a limited space, and not allowed to leave it under any cir cumstances, It naturally follows that it must be very un pleasant. Their sentence is ten years' teed labour in Spain, probably in the construction of a canal. They all appeared to be in good spirits at the time I left, being under the impression that they would soon be released after their arrival to Spain. Lopez was brought from the Pizarro, and publicly gar roted in the square adjoining the prison, at 7 o'clock in the morning of Monday, the Ist of September. With him ended not only this expedition, but I sincerely trust all ex peditions to Cuba. Up to the time I left, the Spaniards could account for two hundred and seventy-one Americans including Crittenden's command—whom they had killed, that is is maim ; wounded men who were left on the field, and sick lel fatigued men who gave out on the march, and were left behind, and men whom they hunted down in the moon like with dogs. Those, with the 160 taken prisoners, make • total of 431 men accounted for—leaving a balance of 22 mss whose fate is yet unknown—the total force landed balms 1.13 men. Of these 22, probably the greater portion OP yet alive and in the mountains ; and as the trooo have all been recalled to Havana, it is probable some of them may yet succeed in getting home. Out of the whole num ber 'made prisoners, but two others beside myself have been paelened. These are Colonel Haynes and Captain Kelly, wham the Captain-General pardoned, and sent home, unsu lifakeL Mew were to leave liavana for this port in the pain* ship Norma, on Friday. My own release was granted as a special favour to Captain Charles T. Platt, of the United States ship Albany, on board of which I was conveyed by an aid of the Captain-General, at eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, the ship proceeding to sea im mediately. His excellency sent a government tow-boat and pilot to take her out. Lopez way caught with bloodhounds in the mountains, on the morning of Friday, the 29th inst. The dogs being some distance in advance of the men, bit him badly in the left leg. There were seventeen countrymen in the party who captured him, each of whom was publicly presented with 1,000 dollars, and a cross of honour =meth ' ately after his execution. Let us now review the causes and results of this expe dition. At the time I received my appointment *eft Mr. Sugar, one of the editors of the Sew Orleans I was told by him that a revolt was regularly orp r il . it among the creoles throughout the Island of Cuba; that they had elected General Lopez a. their leader, and their object was to free Cuba from the tyranny of Sevin, and either form a republic of their own, or annex the island to the United States. lie told me that Lopez was about to leave New Orleans for Cuba, with about five hundred Americans; and that his landing was the signal fur a general rising, and that within ten days after landing he would be at the head of an army of tea thou sand men ; that there were also two whole regiments of Spanish troops to come over to him with their equipments. The same story was told to all. Was it so ? As I have already listen stated, our first salutation was a volley of musketrr, instead of, as the Iklla s, a large body of friends, with horses, stores, itc., for our use. Instead of finding the creeks our frkuils, we fuund them our most bitter enemies, far more so than the trooes—keeping the troops constantly informed of our movements, and hanging on our skirts, putting to death, without mercy, all those who straggled on the march. Of the troops I cannot bat speak in praise, without a single exception. They treated the prisoners with the utmost kindness, giving them wine, cigars, bread, tobacco, and aguardiente , freely, and from their own small means. I imagine no one will say that we had any right to expect such treatment. Oar conduct forced and demanded their respect, but cer tainly we had no claim either on their sympathy or gene. resity. Much has been said relative to the execution of Crittenden and his men. Among all the prisoners now in Havana, much as they admired Crittenden, there is but one opinion, sad that is, that that execution was justifiable—was merited. That they were deceived, all know ; but that was no busi ness of the Spanish authoritien. Surely the provocation re erived was sufficient to justify not only the execution of those men, but of every man connected with the expedition. Why, look at this affair in its proper light! Where even in history—in the annals of the world—do you find a similar occurrence? Here four hundred and fifty men, without having received the least provocation, leave their homes, and invade the shores of a perfectly peaceful island, expres sing a determination to take that island from its lawful owners by f orce. Self-preservation is one of the first laws of nature; and if the law will uphold and protect that American citizen, who, wishent hesitation, shoots down the midnight robber in defence of his property, certainly that law will up hold the officers of the crown of Spain in exterminating a band of men who anissapt to wrest its brightest jewel from that crown. I eondiw that every man connected with that ex pedition deserved death. At the time I was made prisoner, I fully expecte' it, and, although the reflection was any thing but phsesffiet,z conscience l told me that it was tr .

Certainly I was not present at the time, and can not speak positively, but I cannot learn from a reliable source that such was the cue. I have conversed with the officers of the United States ship Albany on the subject. They are men of high standing in society; and they ware me that such was not the eau—that t hey were shot lb ac cordance with mnisary usages on such occasions ' and that the only thing that could ire condemned was the way in which they were drugged to and thrown into carts by the n ordered to bury them. e rt n l t i 'l as been reported that Crittenden wrote home that he had been ebandoned by Lopez. without arms or ammuni tion. Ido nut believe that Crittenden ever wrote anything of the kind. Attached to his command, la hourly contact with him, I knew his, and do not hesitate in saying that a I braver, nobler, MSS bemearable man than William L. Crittenden never lived. Instead of having no ammunition, he bad all, and was pootisslarly selected to guard it, that Wag a most difficult awl yet most honourable service.

Lord Palmerston arrived in this town on Monday evening, on a visit to 11:s constituents, and was entertained at a public dinner at the Assembly Rooms this afternoon. Upwards of two hundred of the constituency were present, and the noble lord's reception was most enthusiastic. FRANCIS HOLE, Esq., was in the chair, and JOHN IIr.ATII. COAT. AMORY, Esq., Sice-president. John Ilentheoat, Esq., and the Mayor of Tiverton, .1. S. How, Esq., were among the guests; and many of the most influential in habitants of the town and neighbourhood were also present. On the removal of the cloth, the chairman gave " The Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," and The Army and Navy," which were duly honoured, and the last-named toast acknowledged by Captain TAYLOR, R.N., and Captain EDWARDS, of Ilalberton. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Clergy of all Deno minations," coupling therewith the name of their esteemed friend who was now present, the Rev. 11. Madgin pendent minister.) The Rev. 11. MADOIN, in returning thanks, expressed the highest regard for the noble lord, in consideration of his past conduct, and the utmost confidence as to the future ; and warmly applauded his resistance to French aggression at Tahiti, his conduct on the Greek question, and his efforts for the suppression of the slave trade, his allusions to which were received with reiteratA cheers. The CHAIRMAN next gave the health of her Majesty's ministers, the reception of which was of the most enthusi astic character. Lord PALMERSTON said, on behalf of her Majesty's ministers and for himself he begged to return them cordial and sincere thanks for the very handsome and very flatter ing manner with which they had been pleased to receive the toast which his friend had just proposed. (Cheers.)' It bad been the ttudy of her Majesty's ministers to secure and continue fur themselves the approbation of their 'sovereign and the confidence of the people. (Loud cheers.) They believed that the best made of attaining those me was by pursuing steadily, temperately, and systematladßy k i the course of progrenive improvement. (Hear, hear.) They were aware that in that temperate and steady course they might sometimes on the one hand excite the alarms if the timid, while on the other hand they might disappoint the expectations of the enthusiastic and the precipitate. (Cheers.) 13,.ut he was satisfied that it was only by suck calm, temperate, and deliberate conduct, that it was pos sible for those who had the command of the vessel of the state to carry it in safety through the dangers of its voyage ; avoiding alike the rocks and quicksands which lie and obstruct its progress, and weathering on the other hand the storms which it might be destined to meet. (Cheers.) Hitherto he trusted they had conducted that noble vessel la safety through that portion of its course which had been submitted to their control. They had carried it with Its timbers sound, its tackle in good order, and its crew healthy, cheerful, and contented. (Loud cheers.) And he trusted that when the day might come when they might have to hand over their command to other persons they might be succeeded by men squally anxious for the safety of the vessel, and equally determined to steer it according to the most approved principles of political navigation. (The noble lord resumed his seat amid enthusiastic cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed, in a highly compli mentary speech, the "Ilealths of the Members for the Borough," the Noble Lord who was especially the guest of the day, and their valued and esteemed friend, Mr. Heathcote, who was his lordship's colleague in the repro. seotation. (Loud and long continued cheering.) Lord PALMERSTON was vehemently cheered es rising. He said, undoubtedly one of the most difficult things which it could ever fall to the lot of any mast to perform—although, at the same time, it was a difialty most grateful to his feelings to encounter—was that of His ambition led him to be th - e tool andvictim Mutely 4 1 - 1 ---- ss ia gan . p . e . iston.

( "Hear, hear," and cheers.) They , believe, wee actually in danger himself from the rabble of had, indeed, within the las t few months witnessed a most 1 Havana, a guard of Spanish soldiers having been placed over his property and person by order of the Captain- striking example that anticipations of a gloomy character General. As for the Albany she was powerless on that might prove unfounded by the result. When his Royal Highness trines Albert, with that foreseeing mind and thatintuitiee judgment, matured by knowledge and ex perience, which so distinguished bim—when his Royal High- nese conceived the east notion of the Cheat Exhibit io n, which was now soon about to close, there were not wanting men who anticipated from it great evils, internal commotion, destruction of property, interruption of social order. Many opposed it on those grounds ; many still more looked at the project with hesitation and with doubt. The result had amply justified the expectation of the man who conceived the idea, and signally disappointed the alarm of those who . . _ looked on it with apprehension. lie did not say that the government of the country was not prepared, if any alarm ing apprehensions had been realised, but there Lever had been an occasion on which such a multitude of persons had been daily collected on one spot (not only from esery part of the country, but from everyjand in Europi, where such har mony had prevailed and where inch uninterrupted order had bc.•n preserved. (Enthusiustic cheering.) It was impossible not to sec many bensfleiul results likely to arise from that eeh, be would defy them, by anything that they could 40, to enrich all the poor. But, although they could not do that, they might do a great deal to make their poverty comfortable, by enabling them to command as large a ror tion of the necessaries of life as the dispensations of 'ro vidence and the state of society would enable them to have within their reach. (Hear, hear.) This was exactly what had been done br the repeal of the corn laws. An instance of the way tn which that repeal had benefited the poorer classes had been stated by his right hon. friend the Mimetic,: of the Exchequer during a late debate in' the House of Commons. His right hon. friend had had! sent to him from that part of Yorkshire with which he was connected, a comparative statement showing on the one band the wages of the agricultural labourer some 14 or 15 years ago, and of the number of loaves of bread which he could purchase with these wages; and, on the other hand, what could be purchased with the present wages of the same elms of men. The wages 14 or 15 years ago—for it was near the manufactur ing districts, and wages were somewhachigh—were 15s. per week. And the man could purchase with that amount 12 loaves of bread. His wages this year were 12a. per week, and with these he could purchase 21 loaves. (Cheers.) But he did not want to buy so many as 24 leaver, and he had therefore a surplus left with which to purchase other comforts and conveniences tend ing very much to cheer the poverty of his existence. Well, then, those who thought that the comfort and well being of the labouring classes were the foundations of the welter° of all who were shove them must feel that the repeal of the corn laws and the cheapness of food had been of great benefit to all. Let them then take the farmer —and he was himself a farmer iu a a very small way—though be would not of course pretend to set his judgment up against that of many of tho gentlemen around him— many of whom he had the honour to represent. Now, the farmer and the landowner, who were the producers of corn, ran away with the fact that corn-wheat had generally fallen in price, and then they said that they had lost all the difference between the former high prices and the present low prices. But they ought to take the other side of the balance-sheet, and sec how much the cost of production, bow much their outgoings, had diminished at the same time that the price of wheat had fallen. (Hear, hear.) Would any man who complained of the amount which he now lost upon the sale of an acre of wheat, take into consi sideration also the amount which he had gained or saved in producing it. The cost of the seed was loss ; the wages of labour were less ; he bad his manure cheaper and of hetti r quality; he had a greater command of machinery, and of machinery of a better kind; his poor rates were less ; his tithes were becoming less and less, as the averages of the cheap years came into the account ; and his rent, in most cases, where it was not very low indeed before, was less also. And, then, besides all this, there was that increased skill which was happily extending very rapidly, and which, by bringing the aid of science to beacon agriculture, had enabled the farmer to ' produce a greater quantity of food out of the same extent 'of land than he had ever done before. When ho looked at all these things, ho believed that the farmer even, when he struck a fair account, would find that the balance of loss was far less than he had ima gined. But, after all, he was perfectly certain that it would be found, in the long run, to be a question between the landlord and the tenant-farmer. (Hear, hear.) The tenant-faience hired the land of the owner, and employed a certain amount of capital in working it; he must make the interest upon that capital, or he could nut live ; and the bargain must he ultimately adjusted so as to enable him to snake that interest under the altered state of things. Ho said then that the order and contentment of this country had arisen front the causes which they had taken the liberty of pointing out, and they might in deed console themselves with the feeling that this land had been peculiarly favoured by Providence, in hav ing been exempt, even during the course of a long and bloody war, tram the innumerable calamities that attended every country which was itself the scene of war. They had pasted through that long period of war with a success of which they would not boast, that which had enabled them to secure a peace, during the continuance of which the country had advanced in all the elements of national prosperity, and had set an example to the world in the arts of peace, as she had previously done in the triumph. of war. (hear, hear.) Well, then, they ought to endea vour to deserve the favour which had been thus dispensed to them. And one of tha ways in which the government of this country and the people of this country could deserve it was, he thought, by uniting together to perform those high and holy functions which he believed it to be the destiny of this empire to fulfil. tli ar, hear.) Those functions were, he thought, to set an example to the world of huma nity, of enlightenment, of order, and of good conduct, both in public aad private ; and he thought tuat, in the next place, it was their duty—the duty of this nation—to employ that influence which a great and powerful country like this must always possess, for the purpose of promoting and securing peace among the other nations of the world—(cheers)—and of en deavouring. as far as they could do it with propriety, to persuade other governments to extend to other countries as much as possible of the civil and political blessings of which they themselves were so proud. lie thought that the people of this country had nobly performed their part of this duty, and lie was sure that it wee the anxious desire of her Majesty's government nut to be backward in performing what belonged to them. The people of this country nobly performed that duty in the course of the last year, when they supported unanimously and enthusiastically the govern ment of England, by exerting its influence to prevent a foreign sovereign from being compelled to violate the Laws of hospitality, by sacrificing men who had thrown themselves upon him for protection. Those efforts were successful, and he was happy to say that the last of those exiles were now on their way either to the shores al Europe or to the shores of America, according to their own choice and wishes. That, however, was but a momentary difficulty, though it was one which had called forth an expression of generous feeling on the part of the people of England. (Hear, hear.) But there had been another subject of far longer duration, requiring far greater and more determined exertions, and far more considerable sacrifices. lie alluded to slavery and the slave trade. (;:lieers.) It was indisputable that the crimes committed in regard to African slavery and the African slave trade had been greater is amount than all the crimes ever committed b the whole human race from the beginning of the world until now. Our 'tweeter., indeed, bad been stained with the same guilt, and it required great exertions on the part of the philanthropic men who lived in those days, of Wilberforce and Clarkson, and the rest, to induce the peo ple of this country to wash their hands of the slave trade. They had .succeeded, however, and the slave trade woe given up ; and after that the people ot Eng land did a great and noble deed in 'mama pating their slaves. Never was sacrifice made with greater cheerfulness, and our example had been of great value. He did not mean to say that the people of France, who had very early taken great interest in the cause, would not have done what they had done even if them measures had not been adopted by the legislature of our own country ; still it was a matter of fact that it was not until after England had done it that France had followed in the same track. She had now, however, both abolished her slave trade and emancipated her slaves, and thus constituted an additional bond of union between that nation and this. They sometimes found nations united by the bond of mutual injustice, but here they had the bond of a common humanity and noblemindedness. He waggled to say that the efforts which successive governments had made for some time past, and which had been supported by public opinion in England had been so far successful, that they did see something like an approaching termiaatioa of this great guilt. They had succeeded in inducing the government of Brazil to alter their course, and to go in the way of justice as far as they were able to do it. He did not mean to say that they ought to be so confident of their pur pose as entirely to trust to their spontaneous exertions. The thing required to be watched, but it was a fact that the importation into Brazil had dwindled down to next to nothing. The noble lord next referred to the development of legitimate trade with Africa, and to the anxiety of the people to engage in it, instead of selling their children or kidnapping their neighbours, that they might obtain European commodities; and concluding by an allusion to the spread of civilisation and of Christianity as a consequence of the extension of commerce, resumed his seat amid loud and longe , ontinued cheers. Mr. HEATHCOAT, M.P., also briefly returned thanks, and complained of threats of exclusive dealing which had been made at a meeting of protectionists held in the town of Tiverton some time before. Several other Mesta were given and acknowledged, and the meeting separated at an early hour. Ealiibition—an Exhibition which almost all of them had seen, for he should think there was hardly a man who could possibly go there who had refrained from visiting it. In the first place, it must improve the industry of all nations, because nothing so greatly improved the human mind as comparing the products of industry of one country with the products of the corresponding industry of other nations. He was satisfied the idea that their manufacturing industry would suffer from the competition of foreign produc tions would be disproved, and the result would show that they would derive great benefit from the lessons which bad been exhibitcd there. Then, again, the number of persons who had gone up to London to see this great display, and who would otherwise,perhaps,never have stirred from their homes, must lead to a great enlargement of mind, and to a develop ment of ideas among the poorer classes of tho community. But, perhaps, tho most important and the most lasting result would be the great strength which musaal intercourse be tween those of different nations congregated in London would extend to those bonds of friendship which secured international peace. (Cheers.) Foreigners—and many they were who had visited this country on this occasion—hail gone back deeply impressed with the unvarying kindness and civility shown to them by every person whom they had encountered, not only in London, but in every part of the country into which they had penetrated; and perhaps there were no men who had been more strongly—and they said it themselves—more unex pectedly impressed with the kindness and hospitality of England than our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic. (Loud cheers.) They had hod ample opportunities of knowing that there was hardly an American who had not gone back with feelings of regard and affection for their cousins here, and disappointed, agreeably disappointed, at finding themselves the objects of kindness, courtesy, and hospitality. Now that which had struck foreigners had been, not the variety of splendid works of human genius in the building, not the building itself, which was still more re markable than anything it contained, but the order which prevailed throughout every part of the country into which they had happened to go. (Cheers.) They had said to him, " What we admire most is the order which prevails. We see no military, no gendarmes, with muskets and bayonets, but only a few, and a very few, quiet looking policemen, with bits of stick in their hands, anxious to help us on every occasion, and to inform us where we can see what we want to look at; and we must say it is marvellous to see so great a country as this, where the people themselves preserve such admirable order." "Well, gentlemen," he hail replied to his foreign friends, " 'filth') first place this is owing to the great good sense, the goodness of heart, the nobleness of qualities which belong to the British nation ; but, beyond this, it is owing to the knowledge that justice is impartially administered between man and man, without favour or affection. Another reason is, that every man is at liberty to express his opinions, whatever they may be. If he is wrong, he is met by those who arc right; if he is right, he convinces those who are wrong." (Loud cheers.) The conflict of opinions was a great warfare, which was always going on, and led to the happiest results. (Re. newed cheering.) Then, he had said to them, "There Is another thing to which this prevalence of order may he attributed. The government and parliament of this country have fur a great number of years past been labori ously, assiduously, and constantly employed in looking out for and putting into execution progressive improvement. We have—and when he said we, he meant the British nation—the British parliament under successive govern- meuts who have ruled the countiy incessantly occu pied in removing abuses and aiding improvements, and therefore the people are contented with what has been done, and if other things remained undone, they aro satis fied that in duo time they will meet with adequate consi deration." (Cheers.) He had said to them " The Test and Corporation Acts were repealed, and that valuable part of the community, full of intelligence and energy, the dis puter*, were placed on an equal footing with respect to liVii and religious privileges. That was the first step of blipsavement of recent times. Then the parliament re pealed the laws which imposed penalties and disabilities en the catholies, and by those means the catholics were ad mitted on an equal footing, on equal terms, to all civil and political rights enjoyed by their protestant fellow-country men." (Cheers.) In spite of that he would ob serve, in passing, that the government had lately been reproached by some members of that body at home and abroad, with intolerance and persecution, because they had thought it right that no foreign sovereign I should dispose of titles in this realm, and cut up and tipper ' Lion it into dioceses and bithoprica--(tremendous cheering, which lasted several minutes)—because it was encroaching ou the prerogative of the Queen, and trenching on the inde pendence of the country. (Renewed cheers.) But is all ether respects, the privileges and rights of the catho lic. were as free and on the ennui footing as were those et the protestants, and he wished that was the only degree of intolerance and persecution of which some of their fellows countrymen complained—that it was the only degree of Intolerance and persecution which protestanu had experi enced in some of the catholic, countries of Europa (vehe ment cheering)—where protestantism was an offence, when the inculcation of protestant doctrines was a crime, and when the Bible was regarded as a dangerous book, which so tats was allowed to read, and when seized was an evi &Mt of the criminality of the party in whose possession it was hand. (Renewed cheers.) He spoke of Rome, Naples, Temeny, Spain, and Portugal. He must do justice to say, there were other catholic countries, as France, Belgium, and even Austria, where a different systeni was pursued, and in the case of Belgium a catholic government and a catholic parliament gash atipcuds to protes tant clergymen who performed their spiritual duties is the Bntish protestant communities. That fact, which was an honour to the Belgian nation, ought to be known, bemuse it showed that nothing in the sincere belief of the Boman catholic religion was incompatible with the most perfect toleration. (Loud cheers.) Ile bad said to his foreign friends, " Then came the law commuting the pay ment for tithes; then the law for improving municipal in stitutions; then the law by which import duty was taken off the feed of man—(cheers)--and lastly came a law which, by dam* our navigation system, enabled the people of this asaitry to enjoy the advantages of the cheapest means of =t to this country of those commodities which they from foreign lands. This is the secret of the little eget you see in the policeman's bands, of the absence of and red coats; and depend on it any country that par se= the same course will present the same espcet of order Web yea so much admire here." (" Hear" and hears.) IN. was, aware there were still persona, and he was band to say they were considerable in num- ' leer, who thought the repeal of an import duty l ea corn was an injury rather than a benefit, and who looked to the re-imposition of that duty under the general term of protection to agriculture. In all human affairs it was a great point of wisdom to be able to distinguish be tween that which was only difficult and that which was ab solutely impossible. To encounter that which was difficult was a very noble pursuit. It roused the faculties, it dove.. loped the energies of man, and it was by struggling easiest difficulties, and overcoming them, that everything great sad glorious had been achieved. But when men attempted that which was impossible, they only laid up for themselves • store of disappointment, and wasted their efforts and em► pies on a fruitless pursuit. (Loud cheers.) Now, with re gard to the re-imposition of import duties on corn, for this purpose of protec ti on, that is to say, for e spo- Mile and avowed purpose of raising the prim of food, for the purpose of increasing the roats of the owners and occupiers of land, he ventured with all humility to say, whenever they saw the river EP running up from the sea to Tiveiten, instead of running down from Tiverton to the sea, they might then expect that protection was near at hand. (Enthusiastic cheers, which were pro longed for several minutes.) In @eying this he was but foreseeing the continuance of a system which would be for the benefit of all classes. No man could deny that the cheapness and abundance of food was on evident ad• vantage to the labouring classes, who werej the most numerous portion of our population. No man who looked at the constitution of the social 'dills* could fail to see that the labouring classes were the very foundation of the fabric; and that unless that foundation were solid, and firm, and stable, the fabric itself could not be expected to last. Now nobody could hope to make the poor rich. That was not the dispensation of Providence In the formation of the world or the creation of the human ram. There might be some other planet-sums other land yet undiscovered, similar to that land of wonder in which they had been told that pigs ran about ready roasted, with knives end forks sticking in their baths—(laughter)—in which this might be the cam ; but m ond in some such favoured region as that, man must laborer for his existence, and those who began with phVe i s a l ngth alone, would not expect to rue lug the seals of wealth. There must be a very unequal , distribution of the world's wealth;althoso bad laws, or national convulsions, might impoverish fon• THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The interest and curiosity which the contents of the Crystal Palace excite in the public mind seem only to in crease with enjoyment. Yesterday, the proverbially weak Wednesday, beaded an attendance considerably beyond 60,000, and comprising representatives not only of every corner of the British isles, but almost of every European I nation. Several Italian and Spanish physiognomies were noticeable, while the French and Germans were so numer ous as hardly to be noticed at all. The schools sent in an unusual number of fiat caps and white pinafores, and seve ral large manufacturing establishments emptied out the whole of their workpeople for a day's instructive holiday. A slight accident went near to furnish the crystal fountain with a nymph, the only thing wanting to complete its fairy character ; with this qualification however that the nymph instead of rising from the bottom according to all precedent, tumbled in from the top, and instead of diving "five fathom deep," on being observed, returned to tens firma with all possible celerity. The " nymph of the fountain " was a poor little charity girl, who, getting too near the brink in her eager curiosity, was pushed in by some of the equally eager spectators behind. She was immediately taken to the police station, where she stood for some time shivering in her wet clothes, until • passer by suggested that she should be taken over to the lodge opposite, the female occupant of which very kindly and promptly dried her wet clothes, and kept her until the exit of her party. This little incident disclosed one if the few wants which the prescience of the executive committee had left unpro vided for. In case of any accident to, or sudden illness in a female, there is no place of refuge but the police station, and there, there is neither waiting room nor female attend , ant to render such assistance as could hardly be rendered by persons of the other sex. The singular good fortun e which has attended everything connected with the Crystal Palace hitherto, has prevented the deficiency being noticed, but yesterday's accident fully proves its existence. The strong probability is that if the poor child, in the present ease, had remained in her wet clothes until the return oiler friends, loss of life, or at loud severe ilium, would have been the consequence. The amount of receipts from the Ist of May to the 23rd of Sept. inclusive, for season ticket, and admission at the doors, has been made up, and presents the enormous total of 366,3311.05. fal., to which must be added the previous subscriptions and donations, forming an aggregate amount such as perhaps never before was realised by any public exhibition in the time. Among the schools, were the Royal Naval, Green wich, 352 boys , ; Horsham Free Grammar, 378 boys; Hounslow National, 102; Southwark Wealeyan, 119; Bristol Blue Coat, 92 ; St. Mary's Industrial, 10 ; Domestic Mission, 46; St. John's Female Servants, 74; St. John's Wood, 74 • St. John's Roman Catholic, 2i; St. Barnabas, Pimlico, 16; St. Pancras Parochial, 11; Brook-street Ranted, 57; Queenhithe Ward, 37. The workmen and women employed in the Kensall-gicen Gm Works, to the number of GO, also came in a party, being headed by their employers. A good deal of interest was excited among the mechanics by one of the Swedish exhibits, which, although rather homely in ap pearance, is evidently calculated to be of great utility and general adoption. It consists of an iron kitchen range, small and compact in form, but admirably contrived for economy of fuel, and containing every requisite for culinary operations. The great novelty, however, in t h is utensil, and that which excited most notice, is an ingeniously con trived coffee roaster which stands ot, the top, and could be removed to constitute within itself a most valuable Auttit,tic requisite. The roaster itself differs from all those recently patented in this country, in being of a conical, instead of a cylindrical form, so as to present all the berries inside equally to the beat in every rotation of the machine. The handle forms an axle for the roaster, and rests across a small chafing dish, and being turutd by the band for a few minutes, roasts the coffee evenly and well. We should advise our inventors to look at this simple contrivance, as it could easily be made a separate machine, could be got up cheap, might stand without injury on a drawing-room table, and would no doubt meet with an extensive demand. Another novelty, to which we would direct the attention of the visitors, is tho packet of needles for the blind, in the French department, which may be threaded merely by the touch. The process is simple and complete when seen, but we will not deprivo the inventor of the gratification of himself explaining the mystery. The "Official Catalogue," notwithstanding its great price, goes off exceedingly well, the principal pur chasers being, as we understand, foreigners, who, however poor they may be, are unwilling to return home without an authentic memorial of the Exhibition. The engravings arc much admired for their execution, but they must be taken with this qualification, that they represent the goods, out so much of the most successful exhibitors, as of those who were willing to pay for the extra space and engraving. Another memorial of the Exhibition was exhibited - Mr the first time yesterday, in the chats: of a portfolio of " Recollec tions of the Crystal Palace," containing 25 coloured lithograph views of the most striking departments. The criticism of these pictures as works of art belongs properly to another department of the Express, and therefore we shall merely observe here that some of them are wonderfully faithful, and that their production in so short a time is a great achievement. Indeed the great number of views of the Exhibition, exterior and interior, is one of the fea tures of its present existence. Every stationer's and print seller's shop in London has a greater or less number of pictures, plain and coloured, large and small, of the great show—front the noble-lookiug coloured prints of Dickenson, of Bond-street, to the halfpenny sheet of the printers of Seven-dials. A collection of all these would of themselves fill a large portfolio, and would deserve a plate in the British Museum. The police numbers were 51,510, and the receipts 2,5721. 12s.

Mean tempe rature, 61.2. REMOVAL OF BRITISH ARTICLES NOT LIABLE TO CUSTOMS DUTIES. 1. The removal of the articles will commence on Thursday, the 16th of October, and the lellowing are the rules which the executive committee have I.tid down with the view of promoting the security of goods and affording the greatest convenience to the exhibitors. 2. The doors will be opened at eight o'clock in the morn ing, when preparations for removal may be commenced. But in order that articles may not be improperly removed until it may be convenient to the majority of the exhibitors to be present, no goods will be permitted to be taken out of the building before 9 u m., or utter sunset, when the bells will be rung. 3. A permit to remove articles will be issued to every ex hibitor. This will admit himself or his agent, and tho requisite number of workmen, for which he must make arrangements with the district superintendent. It will be absolutely necessary that the exhibitor or Ids agent :mend in person to admit his workmen. 'file permit will be dated, sod the articles must be removed within the period entered on the permit, and through that exit door only which is marked on the permit. If, owing to it, bulk, any article cannot be taken out by the exit door appointed, then the exhibitor must obtain from the district superin tendent a special pass for the west door. 4. Every exhibitor, or his authorised agent, in taking out articles must fill up a receipt, and deliver the same to the officer on duty at the exit door. Forum of receipt will be given by the district superintendents. The permit must also be given up when the exhibitor has removed hi. goods. 5. In order to provide as far as may be possible against confusion and accidents in the removal, in sonic cases a rotation will be established for the removal of each exhibi tor's articles and the permits to remove articles will be dated accordingly. If an exhibitor fail to remove his goods within the period assigned to him, his articles must remain until the turn for their removal again arrives. 6. Whatever aid the executive committee may be able to afford, is to be considered as auxiliary only to the arninge ments made by the exhibitors themselves fee the removal of their own articles, and the exhibitors or their agents should therefore bring with them force sufficient to ensure the security and safe and speedy removal of their goods. 7. Among so many thousand exhibitors, and so great a variety of articles, it will obviously be impossible to identify every labourer employed by exhibitors with the articles which he may claim to be employed in packing; and al though every care will be taken to prevent errors and losses, be still it must clearly understood that no responsibility ter losses rests with the Royal COMIIIiSSIORCTS or Executive Committee ; but that it. rests entirely with the exhibitors themselves. The executive committee particularly recom mend every exhibitor or his agent to attend se early as possible and make duo arrangements to insure the proper security and removal of his articles ; and it is suggested that it will be prudent that at every important stall the ex hibitor shall appoint a trustworthy person always to remain in charge of his articles until they are finally removed. 8. The executive committee think it right to repeat, for the information of exhibitors, the following decisions of her Majesty's commissioners (dated May, 1810) : .• 13. The commissioners arc prepared to take the greatest care in their power of all objects sent, but they are not pre pared to incur a degree of responsibility unusual with re gard to public exhibitions. For this reason it has been already stated, that exhibitors must be at the charge of in suring their own goods, and that the commissioners cannot be responsible for losses which may be occasioned by fire or any other accident. They will spare no pains in making such pollee and other arrangements as may appear ade quate fur the protection of the Exhibition and the security of the articles exhibited. They will, of course, give all the aid in their power for the legal prosecution of all persons guilty of robbery or wilful injury of any of the articles in the Exhibition, should such witUrtunately occur in spite of the precautions which will be taken." " 21. Packing-cases in which articles are brought to the building must be removed at the coat of the agent or exhi bitor, as soon so the goods are examined and deposited in charge of the commissioners." 61. All packing cases, &c., must be removed by the ex hibiters, &e., as soon as they receive orders from the Exe cutive Committee to do so. Packing-easel; not removed within three days after notice by the exhibitors or agents will be sold by the Executive Committee, and the proceeds applied to the funds of the Exhibition. Due notice was accordingly given respecting all packing oases which the exhibitors neglected to take away before the opening, and consequently the Executive Committee did not undertake the charge of any packing-cases whatever. 9. The conveniences for packing in the building are limited, and can only be provided in certain parts of it, and if performed in the building must entail delay, and all those casualties consequent on delay. Exhibitors are there fore particularly recommended in all cases where it may be possible, to remove light and valuable articles without repack ing them in the building. It is desirable, to prevent acci dents, that all small glass cases should be removed within the first three days—namely, 16th, 17th, and 18th of October. 10. In order to give the utmost accommodation to exhi bitors who desire to take advantage of the advice contained in the preceding ph, no packing - cases will bo allowed to be in into the building until Monday 20th of October. 11. All packing cases must be brought to the west end, and be marked with the exhibitor's name and the class and number to which they belong, or they will not be ad mitted within the building. Packing Cil6cll left empty for more than forty-eight hours will be liable to be taken out of the building. 12. Exhibitors are particularly requested not to allow h a y, paper, or the materials for packing, to be spread about on the floors. 13. As the removal of articles cannot be delayed to an i le n ft d unclaimed,peri od a , and final sad foray y ru art ri i . cl v es i g m a n i y a c l y l te e fixed by public advertisement. All articles left in the build ing after such notice has been given will be appropriated as the commissioners may direct ; and,if sold, the proceeds will be applied to the general funds. By order of the Executive Committee, 20th September, 1851. DIGBY WYATT, Sec. THE Ho:a. C. P. VILLIERS.— On Monday and Tues day last the Hon. C. P.
