Tue New Exhibition of specimens of Prac tical Art, which opened yesterday at Marl borough House, was gratifying not so much for the actual value of the works exhibited, as that it is a step in the right direc- ' tion. It shows that the new superintendents of the department of practical art, are in earnest. Facts and arguments have already proved beyond dispute the necessity of an alteration in, or addition to, our ordinary system of instruction. We have, from time to time, laboured to show that, unless the education supplied to the rising generation is such as to enable it to grapple with the altered state of the world, we shall not be able to maintain our position in the front ranks of industry. On the contrary, wo shall be obliged to give way to those nations which are wise enough to nurture their youth in the know ledge of those sciences which have multiplied the re sources and augmented the powers of industry to a degree of which our ancestors a century back could have had no conception. These assertions we have supported by facts and strengthened by authorities. itie have shown that oar superiority in many branches of manufactures has been contested, in others overthrown. We have shown that the results of the late Exhibition prove that in many instances foreigners, by the employ ment of scientific means, have surpassed us, in spite of the enormous advantages we possess in the wealth of our capitalists, in the superior organisation of our industrial forces, and in the accumulated experience due to our position as the first manufacturing country in the world. This, then, is the fact which we wish chronicled, which we would have inscribed in gigantic letters lon the walls of every manufacturing establishment. Science, which at one time crept as a little child, and did but a child's work in the vast labour-fields of industry, is now doing the work of a giant, and is receiving each day increments of strength too rut to be calculated. Science it is, which laughs to scorn the wealth of the capitalist and the skill of the labourer who will not avail themselves of her aid. It is to science, then, that we must look, if we do not wish to see our long-vaunted supremacy in manufac tures vanish. It is for this reason that we have for some time past insisted upon tho necessity of an im proved system of industrial education. It is for this reason that we hailed with delight the announcement of the intention of the cosimuisoners of the surplus fund of the Great Exhibition, to apply that surplus in such a manner as to forward the progress of such an education. Oar readies will remember that in he nurse of nver vemsehe upon the application of the wades to thin wpm, we pointed to the schools ci i. sa institatioas which, although they have felled in the object for which they were were yet capable of being rendered very disettve Ibeing . joined to industrial and scientific indite t We showed that art, which was now a mere abstraction, might by such a union be rendered prac tical and subservient to the use and ornament of every day lite. We suggested, therefore, that a portion of the surplus should be employed in increasing the effici -1 ency of these schools, by endowing them with means of instruction in science and industry. Now, whe ther our suggestions will be acted upon by the com missioners of the surplus fund we are not able to say ; in the meantime, we feel great pleasure and some pride in observing that the government has adopted the plan which, we believe, we were the first to suggest, end which we have been certainly the most zealous in advocating. We announced lately that the government bad organised a special depart ment at the Board of Trade, for the purpose of adHheaseeine the sideney of the existing schools of idly, and dile set education generally se applied leellehishilla The exhibition at Marlborough Nail le r a teethet the new superintendents have ben __,/kkehowever, in only one step in the right direction. We ban as doubt that the judgment and experience of Ma Ones will tend very materially to increase the dieing' of the new plan, by cementing a greater Minion between art and industry than has yet existed. Artiste who have been taught to con din design Ile the great desideratum will b;h i C that all design dust be subservient to therac laity of execution. The limits to whisk net must be confined, when its creations are to be realised in manufactures, will be more seedy pined out.

Taken as a step in the right antis% we an grateful for the attempt to reform the shook of deign ; but we must persist is considering it as only a step.

THE House of Comm is extremely sensitive on the score of privily, is poor devi l of a printer can publish anything AB &MR of Commons wishes to keep concealed, however trivial ;—no disappointed suitor can give vent to Ms helpless exasperation in language soooortomis but the serjeant-at-arms is hounded upon him. As the House of Commons is strong it must be held to play a cowardly and dis creditable part if it wreaks merciless vengeance on the weak and friendless for offences against privilege, and allows the powerful and well-allied to escape with impunity. If there be meaning in words, the conduct of the Marquis of LomioNunter is the Downshire elec tions, and his letters respecting the canvass for that county. actually on foot, are grow and asequi vocal violations of the privilegeeof the Rousse Com mons. The doctrine that apsessyht sot to mai& in elections to the House of say be allowed to rest. It is impossible to provost boos interference and it is imposdbis to protest their will that who does not pledge himself to think, act, sob speak in the Hours of Commas as the Marquis of LOSIDOXDZKItY bids Isies.

To . emigre th is feeds., it siaims a right, at any tuns) to exclude the lionsizore and the public ft= say knowledge of what ram on within its walls. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY by sending a servile creature of his will to vote as he dictates iu the House of Commons, to let him know everything that is dose then, has violated the privileges of the house. In his letters to his nephew he has boasted that ho has acquired this power by corrupt means, that he has exercised and will continue to exercise this power. The Marquis has violated the privileges of the House of Commons, and the house knows it. Will it suffer a wealthy Marquis to commit a more gross and insulting out rage against it than any of the Srocitom.Es and others whom it has so often and so relentlessly punished ? It is not to be expected that ministers will move VlLord LONDONDERRY. The marquis's poll- A is little more than an avowal of faith in Lord DIM. " Great are the English landlords, and Lord MISSY is their prophet." It is to serve Lord DERBY that the marquis is at present so particular in his dealings with his parliamentary nominees. Lord DERBY and hie colleagues will wink at such excess of zeal. But the House of Commons owes it to itself to arraign the Marquis of LOJDONDY.RRY of breach of privilege, were it but to ascertain whether ministers will have the hardihood to pro tect the offender, whose offence has been committed in order to serve them. To this end it is desirable that some independent member of the House of Com mons should move a resolution that a representation be sent to the Peers of the breach of the house's privileges by one of their number. If the ministers in the House of Commons oppose this motion, the country will know that they seek to obtain a majority in the nominal house of re presentatives by the means which the Marquis of LONDONDERRY has resorted to. If ministers in the Lords screen the delinquent, the country will under stand that Lord DERBY approves of what the Mar quis of LONDONDERRY has done. If a majority of the Commons, or of the Lords, or of both, the attempt to punish this boastful breach of privi lege, the country will understand that our so-called House of Commons is a mere mockery of a national representation. Whatever bo the result of the motion, it must serve to accelerate a reform of the House of Commons, by concentrating public atten tion on the unworthy jugglery practised in its elections. THE DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. The prevalent opinion has been that the present parliament would be dissolved on or about the 10th of June. A later day seems now probable, since it appears that the Queen intends to hold another drawing•room about the 3rd of June, and contemplates giving a state ball about the 18th of the same month, at St. James's Palace. A grand ceremonial like a state ball is not likely to be given after the dis solution. slog theist goveroarent bad no in terest to preventing that publication. If it had not listened to oonaideratioos of • superior order, it would have haat mad to give to them documents a publicity which could only have been advantageous to dt ; but above private inte rest there is respect for the constitution and for the principle as wh'els it is based. The government could net authorise the publication of a letter which advises the refusal of the oath required by the constitution, in supporting itself on a principle essentially contrary to that of the national sove reignty. There is great talk about a note prepared at the ministry of foreign affairs, under the inspiration of Louis Napoleon, relative to the treaties of 1816. The government lays down in this note principles of oom plebe independacce, in relation to the foreign powers, as regards the question of the form of government, and the eventuality of a Bonaparte dynasty. The numerous violations of these treaties during the last thirty years are distinctly enumerated. The warlike tone of the speeches of M. do Per signy and General do St. Arnaud at the dinner of the Hotel do Ville, to which drew your attention last Sunday,. has produced • profound sensation in diplo matic circles. The AssetnbMe Nationale is of opinion that the sentiments and language of the minister of the interior and war, on this occasion, will produce no small commotion in foreign courts. The progress of the committee on the budget in their labours is beginning to give serious umbrage to the government. M. Gonin, the banker, an eminent financier, appointed by the National Assembly reporter on the budget of 1851, and president of the present committee, his been heard to declare that, instead of a deficit of 40 millions of francs, as stated by the ministry, there will be a deficit of at least 100 millions in the budget of 1853. As there only remain only six weeks more to finish the session of the Corps Legislatif, it is evident they . will not be able to givo the budget a serious examination. The grand reduction which the committee intend to propose is based on the abo- lition of the ministry of police, a department which entails an enormous charge on the treasury, and is a mere fifth wheel in the administration. The letter and spirit of the constitution are equally . opposed to the prolongation of the legislative session beyond the end of June; and if the deputies bring not their appointed labours to a termination before that date, the arrears of work will be cleared off more expedi tiously without their assistance. In fact, the 33rd article of the constitution provides that, in case of the dissolution of the Corps Legislatif, and until this assembly be reconvoked, the Senate, upon the proposition of the President of the Republic, provides by measures of urgency for all which is essential to the march of the government. There is no doubt but the easy mode of legislation here de scribed will be adopted during the nine months re cess of the Legislative Body. The deputies are also said to be resolved upon cutting down the budget of the Senate, of whose members they entertain the greatest jealousy on ac count of their rich dotations, while the Corps Legis latif is cut off from all such sweets, Tho Constitittionnel contains a biting article upon the letters of Changarnier and Lamoneo4re, from the pen of M. Grimier de Cassagnac. " When rogues fall out," you know the rest; and without applying this term to General Changarnier, and still less to Lamoriciere, the devotion of the former general to the cause of legality would not have prevented him from knocking the republic on the head, if he had found a clear stage for performing the character of Moab. This much at least was generally admitted at the time; such a course might, for the rest, have been dictated to General Changarnier by his con science as a duty; but on all hands • sole tion of the crisis was regarded as impossi re bt i , li a l fid the consequence was that all parties conspired. Out of the reciprocal accusations of the leading men of these parties, the best materials will be gathered for the history of the crisis. Granier de eaasagnao beings on the present occasion three distinct charges against General Changarnier, which are perhaps 6n this ac count not undeserving of attention. First, he says: Is March, 11/49, Gen. Changarnier applied to Prises Louis Napoleon for a written authorisation he Wow tbe Constituent Assembly out of the window. thsesitly, at the . period of creating the great military esenmende,Ges.Gbam. gamier again urged with energy the astisssity of s snip dies!; and, se Prism Lomb Napoleon meshed these stew tares with great coolness, the general areplellsed abed before the ministers, &airily; that there wee s abst be done with that names Diafoinn; and Wray, is ls.

Is Ise, two years running, General Cbesierater perstesied Prises Loyd' Napoleon to obtain from him a written order to drive away , the Amemblies. Louis Napoleon has granted to M. de Persigny a favour which may be taken u a pledge of the regard which he entertains for the minister who is to be honoured by an alliance with his house. The cha teau of Fontainbleau is to be placed at the disposal of M. de Persigny and his bride during the honey moon. M. Fourtoul is to be Minister of the Interior ad interim, during the absence of M. de Persigny. In the sitting of the Corps Legislatif to-day the adjourned debate on the Rehabilitation Bill was re sumed. M. Delapalme opposed Art. 623 in its en tirety. This article imposed on the convict seeking his rehabilitation the obligation of proving that he had paid all costs, fines, and damages to which he might have been sentenced. it might happen that a worthy person might not be able to do this. The object of the existing laws upon the subject was that a crimi nal having undergone his punishment might be restored to his place in society upon proof of his me. al reform. The new law should not introduce new severities. With regard to fraudulent bank ruptcy they should not make that offence blacker than it really was. (Laughter.) An unfortunate man might be declared a fraudulent bankrupt be cause he had concealed 150 francs' worth of his pro perty to satisfy the most pressing necessities of his family. No doubt rehabilitation ought not alone completely to restore a fraudulent bankrupt to his commercial position, but the default of payment ought not to be a positive bar to his rehabili tation. M. Langlais supported the article. The two first clauses of the article were then passed. The 3rd clause, which relates to fraudulent bank rupts, was opposed by MM. Remade and Devinek, and supported by MM. Curvier and Lang- Isis, but wu ultimately adopted. The remaining articles were then adopted without opposition, and on a division upon the whole bill it was palmed by 212 votes against 11. On the order of the day being read for the discussion of the bill for the levy of 50,000 men of the class of 1862. M. Dumival said he did not rise to speak against the law, but concerning it. They had lately in their bureaux, upon the occasion of discussing the budget, been made acquainted with some serious facts. He alluded to the want of equi librium in the finances—to the deficit. He did not wish to give a sombre hue to their position, but ho thought it was their duty to search out the remedies' for such a state of things. Several propositions had already been made with this view. Some had asked' for the re-imposition of the salt tax. Others were in favour of an income tax. Others, again, of whom he was one, were of opinion that the bait remedy would be a reduction of their expenditure. He would not defend himself against the accusation that he wished to disparage the army. The army was the pride and glory of all of them, and its honour and consideration could not be brought in question in a budget debate. But he thought it worth examination whether the necessities of the country required so numerous an army. Who could deny that tranquillity was now everywhere re-established. The laws were never, more readily obeyed, at no time had institutions been more universally respected. The head of the' state had been raised to power by the acclamations of the whole people. Where, then, was the necessity for the maintuhanoe of such an imposing force as they had? Without being an optimist, and admitting that bad passions existed, as they always would ex ist, ho would ask where now was socialism? where were its chiefs? Neither was there any danger to apprehend from foreign countries. Regrets and hopes there might be in certain quarters, but there They were, then, in every point I situation, and there was no rea _Ay should be upon a different footing establishment that they had under the les committee of the budget would cer ' matter from this point of view, Al to re-establish the equilibrium of General Allard, a councillor of state, by - President of the Republic to sup port the measure, said the question that had bees raised would necessarily have to be considered upon the discussion of the budget. The number of 80,000 had been fixed long since, but it would be open to the house to reduce it should they object to the expense. At present the objection was prema ture. (Applause.) The bill wu then voted unani mously, in a house of 220 members. After voting several local bills the house adjourned eine die. The following members of the Corps Legielatif were elected today as the committee on the bill re lating to crimes committed by Frenchmen in foreign countries: MM. Laffitto (Charles), Riche, O'Quin, De la llaichois, Dubois de 11-auverger, Vernier. Notwithstanding the decree which gives precedence to the Corps Legislatif over the Council of State, it seems that the ministerial bureaux lose no occasion of inverting the order fixed by the President, and setting the councillors of state above the deputies. Ihus, at the sittings of the mixed commission appointed by the Minister of the Interior to examine the question of Ilse sate raised for hospitals upon the receipts of the timbres, the clerks of the ministry gave precedence le the councillors of state over the members of the Corps Legislatif. This treatment, which seems a sakulated system of insult, is bitterly complained of by the deputies • and M. Billault has applied, on the behalf of the body over which he presides, to Louis Napoleon in person for redress. General Parchappe has presented to the Legisla tive Body a report, in the name of the committee charged to examine the bill authorising a levy in 18.53 of 80,000 men of the class of 1852. The re port states that, in order to keep up the armed force of France at 500,000 men, it is necessary to call out 80,000, as has been done annually for twenty years put; and, as an additional reason for the levy, it says: " Foreign countries do not reduce their armies. England feels great anxiety with respect to our pro gress and the firm and becoming attitude of the country; her Chambers have voted subsidies for the organisation of a numerous militia and the increase of the navy. In Austria, the sovereign of that em pire and the Emperor of Russia have passed is review the troops assembled at Vienna." Two bills are about to be submitted to the exami nation of the Council of State, ono relative to the sojouni of foreigners in Paris and Lyons, and the to the formation of the High Court of Justice. It is said, by the Petrie, that 3,000,000 fr. are to be accorded for the execution of the Cherbourg Rail way, and 3,000,000 fr. for that of the line from Tou louse to Cette. Generals de Bois-le-Comte, Allouvcau de Montreal, Martin de Bourgon, and Nihon, who were re cently promoted to ;hat rank, have been placed en disporsibilia M. Capelle, councillor-general in the Haute Ga ronne, has refused the oath. I mentioned yesterday that Louis Napoleon had been accompanied in his view of the gallery of Mar shal &tilt by M. Fortoul, the minister of 'public in struction. A speech is reported to me by a person who was present on this occasion, as having been uttered by this minister, which affords an excellent test of the civilisation of some of the highest tonne tionaries of the present government. Louis Napoleon paused before the famous "Conception of the Virgin," of Murillo, the pearl of the collection, and asked M. Fortoul his opinion of it. The minister of public instruction, I bear, replied : " Mon Prince, n'achetez pas une credto comme cello-la; je yowl trouverai vingto brosseurs it Paris qui vous en feraient mieux quo ga." This assurance reminds one of the famous blonder of the Roman Consul Mummies, who when he was informed of the destruction of the famous pictures and statues in the sack of Corinth, said that he would order fresh ones to be executed. The modern Athenians, as the Parisians style them selves, laugh quite as heartily at the taste of M. Fortoul, as the ancient ones did at the barbarism of Roman consul. At the Bourse the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. fell 5, closing at 99.70; the Threes fell 5, and closed at 70.36. The railway market was heavy. Rouen fell 7.50 ; Orleans and Central, 5 each ; Bordeaux, 3.75 ; Idarseilles and Northern, 1.25 each; Havre, Tours sad Nantes, and Testa and Bordeaux rose 2.50 each. . . . .

The Ritorgimento of Turin, of the 15th, announces that the Marquis d'Azeglio, president of the Council of Ministers, 1. Galvagno, Minister of the Interior, and M. Forests, Minister of Justice, have given in their resignations, in consequence of the election of M. Ratazzi to the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. The same paper adds, however, in a sub sequent article, that Count Cavour, Minister of Finance, has offered his resignation, declaring his approval of the election of M. Ratazzi, thus offering himself as a holocaust for that act, in o der to induce his colleagues to remain in office. The last rumours current at Turin on the subject were, that the port , folio of foreign affairs was to be offered to Count Col legno, legno, now Sardinian minister at Parts; M. ltatazzi was to take the interior, and Count Cavour was to remain in office as minister of finance, with the pre sidency of the council. The Piednionlese Gazette of the 15th publishes a royal decree authorising the execution of tho con vention between the state and the company for the construction of the Turin and Savigliano railway. GERMANY. According to a letter dated Berlin, May 13, and received in Paris yesterday, early in the present month the Russian am ba ssador at Vienna sent to the Austrian cabinet a note, in which the Czar pro nounces in favour of the integrity of the Zollve rein, and consequently against the formation of a third group, as furnishing new faci lities to radicalism and foreign influence. It is added in the note that the Emperor of Russia does not pretend to mix himself up in the affairs of Germany, or to limit the efforts of Austria in the interests of her commercial policy, but that he desires, in the interest of Germany, that the smaller states should attach themselves to one of the great powers of the German confederation, and that if they wish to secede from the Zollverein they ought to rally around Austria. The Hamburg BOrsenhalle contains the same intelligence, which, however, should not bo received without caution. In the sitting of the Second Prussian Chamber on the 15th, M. von Manteuffel informed the house that the legislative session would be closed in the course of this week. Baron Vincke asked M. Manteuffel when the government intended to proceed to the elections for the First Chamber, conformably to the unrepealed prescriptions of the constitution. Tho minister re plied that he should answer no such question. A ministerial conference was held upon the 15th upon Zollveruin affairs. The New Pruesian Gazette states that the question for consideration was, whe ther Prussia should hold fast by the principles laid down in the circular convening the Zollverein Con gress, and reiterated in M. Manteuffers speech, or deviate from them in concession to the wishes of Bavaria and other southern states. The result of the deliberation, according to the authority just men tioned, was a firm resolution to maintain the ground already taken up, and while continuing negotiations with the states in question, to fix a term by which they must accede to, or definitively reject the Prue, grin Zollverein policy : : The Prussian military serenaded the fluke of Augustenburg at his hotel in the Itossmarkt at Frankfurt on the Ilth. The Augsburg Gazette slates that not only the Senate of the free city of Frankfort, but those also of Hamburg and Lubeck, have received from the Federal Diet a monition to bring their several con• stitutions into harmony with that of the liunii. A number of police agents of vari(us Gi rmar t states have lately been sent to Frankfort and its neighbourhood to watch the proceedings of several persons alleged to he democratic emissaries, who bays lately arrived on the right bank of the Rhine. The Emperor of Russia was at Weimar on the 14th on a visit to his sister the Grand Duclims. It is stated that from Berlin the Czar will proceed direct to Warsaw. Tho Imperial Chancellor, Count Nesselrode, was expected to arrive at Berlin on the evening of the 'l6th. Ile would proceed on the following morning to join the Emperor of ltuesia at l'otsdatn. A letter dated Vienna, May 13, in the Indepess. dance Beige, mentions two measures as itnntineht a reduction in the army, and the conversion of the coupons. TURKEY AND THE LEVANT. We have reoeived from Coostantinople news up to the Gth it et. Sir Stratford Canning, or rather Lord Stratford de Redelifr•, the British ambassador, basing received from his government leave to absent himself from his poet, was on the point of emharking with his family for England. Colonel Rose had returned from Egypt, and would replace the ambassador as charg‘: d'affitires during his absence. Mr. Alison, Oriental secretary, having obtained leave of absence, had embarked, on the Ist inst., in the Lloyd's steamer, for Trieste, whence he would proceed to Englund. The Egyptian affair was regarded as settled, al. though no official notification of the arrangements concluded by Fuad Effendi with Abbas Pasha had been yet published by the l'orte. M. Servicen, the physician of Fund Effendi, charged with despatches from that plenipotentiary, having performed quaran tine at the Dardanelles, arrived at Constantinople on the 4th inst. The departure of the Surri_ , Emini for Mecca took place on the Ist with the usual ceremonies. The caravan would start from Scutari, after the delays prescribed by custom, in order to allow the faithful time to join. The Onarier d'Athenes, of May 7, asserts that the finances of the state arc in a melancholy condition, and adds that the Minister of Finances, finding him self unequal to the task of ameliorating the financial position, was about to send in his resignation.

SlR,—Lord Londonderry's conduct in the county Down is nothing new, as the following statement will prove : The late Mr. Purvis, the eminent Chancery harrister an& Queen's counsel, had a country house and some prhperty near the city of Durham, where ho was highly esteemed • and, on a vacancy occurring in the representation of the; city, during the Anti. Corn-law agitation, Mr. Purvis, not unnaturally, became a candidate on conservative principlso for the seat. Having done se, he called at Ifolacements House to request Lord Londonderry's influence, which was then undoubtedly great, ono of his largest collieries being within the parliamentary borough. Mr. Purvis wax received rudely and coarsely, I might almost say vio lently; reproached with seeking to deprive Lord London derry of his seat for Durham ; and plainly told that, wilds be consented to become Lord Londonderry's member, hi should not be returned. Mr. Purvis was not a m an t o sub. mit to such dictation ; he declined those terms, and poi. need in his independent candidature, Mr. Bright become** the liberal candidate A common friend of Lord Louie derry and Mr. Purvis interfered; his lordship abated& little in the insolence of his tone and requirements ; and de last his support became a matter—so my deceased fried more than once ensured me—of pecuniary negotiation. It went off in the middle of the night before the polling day; and on the morrow Mr. Bright was elected by Lord Lon donderry polling his pitmen for that very excellent member. This so disgusted the Durham conservatives, that no conservative has since been returned for that city. They cannot return one without Lord Londonderry's voters ; and he will not support any one who will not recognise Ns authority over their votes in the House of Commons. Now, however, Lord " Dolly" Vane is standinat as Durham city ; well as Lord Seaham for North ham. And the question is. whether the Durham anon votive' will, after the publication of Lord Londonderry's Down Correspondence, degrade themselves by promoting this peels selfish traffic in boroueh and county seats. I am, &c., A FRIEND OF TILE LATE MR. PURVIS. THE COMMISSIONERS EDE THE GREAT Enna.. TTON of last year have just presented to Mr Secretory Walpole the first report on that undertaking, in order to its being laid before her Majesty. The report, with its appendices, at present extends to 211 closely printed int penal octavo pages, and is illustrated with two large plain of the Exhibition. The report itself is a cone:se stet of the organization, labours, resources, mean., proced and arrangements of the commission, and the achieved. The appendices, forty-two in number, supply a hod" of most exact and interesting details. THE NEW SITE FOR THE CRYSTAL PALACE.— The Crystal Palace Company have published the details of the plan they have adopted for the future disposal of the building, and have furnished ample information respecting the purposes to which they intend to devote it. Sydenham, a station on the Brighton Railway, is the spot where the palace is to be re-erected, in the midst of a park of 150 acres, which is to be planted with specimens of every tree which can be grown out of doors in England. It will coa -1 tain a winter garden of 18 acres in extent, and within ifs walls dower shows are to be held. There are to be sculp tures by the chief living artists, and casts of the most brated works of antiquity. eology and mineralogy will receive their appropriate illustrations, while specimens of the most striking costumes and manufactures of the various nations will be laid out as at the time of the Great Exhibition. Not the least interesting part of this splendid spectacle will consist of samples of machinery, such as those which were seen at work in the northern section of the building. The situation in which the building is to be placed is as easy of approach for the greater proportion of the inhabitants of London as the former sito. It is bit an affair of a few minutes to pass from the London to the Sydenham Station. There are also to be extra= from Waterloo, Vauxhall, and the Bricklayers' Arms, ae that the inhabitants of any portion of the metropolis mg have the opportunity of visiting the Exhibition with a tclerable degree of facility and comfort. LONDON MILITIA.—A Court of Lieutenancy foe the City of London was held at Guildhall on Saturday beet, on which occasion the Lord Mayor presided. It was at tended by the lieutenant-colonel, several of the aid and a numerous body of the commissioners. The court been specially summoned to receive a report from a com mittee appointed to inspect the staff and the different of of the corps, and the report stated that the committee hod inspected the majority of the officers, and found some ef them effective and ready for service, that others of the officers had sent in their resignations, and that some of the older officers who had been connected with the corps during the last thirty years had signified their intention to resign upon the passing of the act which professed to retain IS them their respective ranks. A captain and a lieutenant who were said to be abroad were reported to be efficient. The court was occupied for some time in considering the questions as to the mode and time of filling up the vacant offices, and letters from the Secretary of State were read connected with the matters upon which the members had assembled. The Lord Mayor mentioned to the court that he had received a letter from Colonel Thompson, in which that gallant officer had expressed his wish that the vacant appointments should be tilled by military men who had served in the army. It was finally referred to the commit tee to inspect the testimonials of the numerous candidate@ for the appointments, and to report to the court the Mahal of those who might be considered beat qualified to fill them, at the same time that it was distinctly to be understood that the cimmittec were not necessarily obliged to exclude all persons who had not served in the army.—A vote of thanks having been passed to the Lord Mayor, the court adjourned. EXPLOSION AT THE SOUTH LONDON G.ts WOHKOs —This morning, shortly after 10 o'clock, an explosion took place at the South London Gas Works, situated at the side of the Surrey Canal, near the bridge, which resulted in the destruction of considerable property a d serious injury to several men. It appears that a great number of men are constantly engaged at the gas works, and this morning at an early hour three of the mechanics, named T. Smith, W. Fox, and J. Westley, were employed in the valve houm," when one of them had some occasion to raise n valve, and while doing so the gas suddenly exploded, having com municated with a light which had been carelessly left M a corner of the building. The noise caused great terror in the neighbourhood, and when ateistance reached the men, they were found frightfully burned and disfigured about the face and various parts of their bodies. The hair on their heads was burnt off, and the unfortunate fellows, when released, were in a dreadful condition. They were imme diately dragged out of the shattered building, and seen by several medical gentlemen, who, after affording some aid s had them conveyed to Guy's Hospital. A LOST BALLOON.—The Echo Saumurois of the 14th says:—.. A balloon fell yesterday about four in the afternoon in the commune of Ncuille, near Saumur. No one can say whence it came, nor tell anything about it. It i. about 343 feet in diameter, and the green and yellow silk 4,f which it is made is of English manufacture. There was no car attached to it, but merely a basket, ill which were found half a roll, some pieces of cord, and some small tools." "NO HOUSE ".

MIL DISRAELI AND JEWISH DI Among other debts which the parliament, now on its death-bed, leaves to be paid by its successor is that of justice to our Jewish fellow-citizens who retain their ancient faith. If we advert to the relation in which the CHANCELLOR of the Ea CHEQUER stands to the Jewish claimants for justice, it is for a more worthy purpose than merely giving utterance to smart and stinging sen tences. It is for the purpose of pointing out to the young who may be entering on a political career the inconceivable humiliations which all men of genius must experience who stoop to be the instruments of a Proud, bigoted, narrow'minded faction. Mr. DISRAELI IS indispensable to his party ; both he and they know it. Mr. Dlsasett prides himself on his Jewish descent. If there is one opinion in which we are entitled to believe Mr. DISRAELI einem, it is that of the excellence of the Hebrew race; he has obtruded this opinion in his biography of Lord GEORGE BENTINCE, as well as in works of fiction; he has voted for the admission of the Jews to parliament. But Mr. DISRAELI must tamely endure when his colleagues and his faction spit on the gabar dines of his race, showing by the gusto with which they do it, how they would treat himself if they iced. The faction make themselves amends for the mortifying consciousness that to Mr. Dlsatam they are mainly indebted for being where they were, by treating his kinsmen contumeliously, looking at him the while with a malicious side-long sneer. The tenacity with which little minds cling to the privilep of persecuting is wonderful. MOORE de scribes his ineffable Fadladeen as killing a kind of 'mill lizard when he could get no heretics to torture. Di/Enters, catholic have in turn been rescued from the persecuting propensities of the tories, and the tories now vent upon the Jews, as far as they safely may, the whole of their unextinguishable love of persecution. The length of time for which our bigots havo been allowed to insult and tease the Jews, if not seriously to harm them, is not creditable to the nation. Two hundred years ago CROMWELL tried to do justice to the Jews; he even attempted to bribe their opponents to swallow this unpalatable act of justice by dressing it with the sauce piguante of fana tical absurdity; but in vain. Soon after the begin ning of last century another attempt to eman cipate the Jews was defeated by aids of the same mobs who cheered SACHEVERELL and High Church. And even now, year after year, our INOLISES are able to procrastinate the extirpation from our statute book of the shabby laws which by a side-wind deny all of Jewish descent, who adhere to the faith of their fathers, their rights as British citizens. Will matters be mended in the new parliament P It may be doubted. The Jews are comparatively i few n number, and it would be hopeless to try to make their emancipation a hustings question. On ' this point members will be returned unpledged. In the new parliament those who desire to see the Jews righted will have nothing to rely upon but the com mon sense and equity of members, and perhaps the chance of some complication of parties that may make it worth the while of some leading politicians to do for once in their lives a just and generous action. 'rho cause is too good a one to be given up in despair. But the Jews and their friends have nothing for it but to keep their purpose steadily in view, and to bo on the alert to seize every occasion that ogees to promote it.
