KOSSUTH. Sr. Pictezaa.—At an unusually numerous meeting of the fit. Penang //Mr!, which was held yesterday, in the sew Vestry Hall, Kist's. road, Camden Town, Thomas Ell Baker, Eaq., churchwarden, in the chair, Mr. Brettinghain claimed the attention of the vestry while ho introduced to their notice a matter which ►e Mt assured they would snow to take precedence of the other busbies. The illus trious Koseuth was about to anise in this country—he who had rendered himself universally popular by sacrificing everything in order to promote the interests and liberties of his country. lie regretted that this matter had not been mooted before ; the City of London and the parish of Mary 10011e had already organised an address to the illustrious Hungarian. The parish of St. Pancras, w►ich has a popu lation exceeding either the City or Marylebone, ought to have been the first to move in this matter. He could have wished for more time in preparing a compliment to the great man who had done so much to promote the welfare of his country. lie trusted that the efforts of those who had been the means of freeing this illustrious foragner from this despotic tyranny would be appreciated by the people. Even France, which had be come despotic from the absence of all liberty of the press in that country, had refused a passage through her territory to this illustrious man, who was seeking a home in America. Every country bad its patriot,—Scotland boasted its Wal- lace, Switserland a Tell, America a Washington, and Hungary bad her patriotic Kossuth ; and Hampden and Sydney had out tottod to sacrifice their blood in defence of the liberties of this country. Providence had ordained that this illustrious man, rising as he did from the middle classes, should not at this time succeed, but he (Mr. Brettiogham) trusted that the time would come when he might be re called to establish in his native land popular freedom and representative government. (Cheers.) He begged leave to move that the following address be presented to Kossuth by the churchwardens sod vestry, as soon after his arrival ea might be toned convenient: Honoured and distinguished Sir—We the churchwardens and vestrymen of the pariah of St. Panerus, in the county of Middlesex in vestry assembled, embrace the earliest op portunity aff orded by your presence among us of offering you our sincere slid heartfelt congratulations on your re lease from an unjust captivity, the deep respect and admi ration we entertain for your person and character. Your safe arrival in England, the native land of Hampden, of Sydney, and of Russell, martyrs to the right of resistance to the mandates of arbitrary power, iv hailed by this vestry with the ekepeq emotions of gratitude for your most provi dential preservation and escape from the machinations of those powerful and unscrupulous foes who have sought, not only to deprive you of your valu able life, hut also to crush the rising spirit of liberty and independence and destroy every principle of self-governmeut in your own and other countries. The vestry deem it a sacred duty to effer in this hour of adversity all the consolation in their power to one who has sacrificed so much on the altar of his country's freedom, who has suffered so much in body and mind for the cause of liberty, and who has endeared himself by his public con duct and private worth to the esteem and sympathy of all good men. Be assured, sir, that, as the local representa tives of one of the largest parishes its the kingdom, we have beheld with the most 141.211.1113 solicitude the noble and pa triotic efforts which you have made to establish in your country institutions similar to our own —institutions which hare been fur ages the bases of freedom and the great bulwark of liberty, and that we bare on all occasions concurred its the sentiments and hopes which have been so frequently and urgently expressed by the government of our own country in favour of the just claims and time-honoured institutions of Hungary. We karn that your destination is Asterism. la tat i:ountry you will observe the best exemplifieation of Anglo-Saxon principles, in the happiness, greatness, and prosperity of her people. May th e sojourn in the laud of your adoption be but for a short period ; may a righteous Providence ordain in its wisdom a change of affairs in Europe favourable to the interests of your country ; and may you be recalled from an honourable cede to become, like the illustrious Washington, the lather and first president of the Ilungarian nation." F. Healey, Esq., seconded the address. There was to be a borough demoustrution, and he hoped that the vestry would concur with Marylebonc in carrying it out.— Mr. Glover considered that the manner in which Mr. Brettinghiun bad brought forward the question did 11;m much honour.—The motion fur the presentation of the ad dress was carried by acclamation. SorvitwAnK.—Last evening a meeting, convened by circular, was held at the Three Tuns Tavern, High-strect, Borough, to consider what means should be adopted in Southwark to welcome Kossuth. Mr. Satterley presided. After some discussion it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Walker, that a requisition be presented to the high bailiff, requesting him to call a public meeting of the inhabitants on the subject ; and a committee was appointed for the pur pose of carrying out the requisite arrangements. 741.‘senverr.n.—M o. meeting of the friends of et.nstitutiunal government and liberal institutions, held on the 4th instant, at liewall'sbuildings, Manchester, George Wilson, Esq., in the chair; it was resolved, unani mously, "That immediately upon the arrival of Louis Koibuth and his brave companions, an invitation be pre sented to him respectfully requesting his attendance at a general meeting of the friends of Hungarian freedom, to be held at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, at the earliest day be can be present, consistent with his other engage ments,tfor the purpose of receiving an address upon his arrival in this country."—lly order of the meeting, George Wilson, Chairman; Smith I'.

DEXTER IX GLAsGOW.—The announcement that this celebrated advocate of the Bloomer costume was to address a public audience in the City Hall, and appear in the dress, drew an immense number of people to the Will on Monday night, the demand for tickets during the day being almost unprecedented. The specu lation, for such we understand it to be, must therefore have proved a tolerably successful one, as there could not have been fewer than 4,000 people in the Hall, not taking into account the number of disappointed ticket-holders whose clamours for admittance after the hall was choke full, were but'i loud and long. Long before eight, the large area and galleriis were crowded to excess, even standing room was at a premium —every ono being anxious, at any sacrifice of personal case or comfort, to obtain a view of the Bloomer. Ihe appearance of the lady, escorted by a young gentleman, one ,f the speadaton, as we understand, was the signal for a tremendous burst of noise—it is impossible to tai l it cheering—from all parts of the hall. Her dress was of course the object of eager scrutiny ; and we ob served various desperate attempts on the part of under sized gents. to get a glimpse of that garment which Mrs. Dexter chooses to designate by the name of trousers. It is unnecessary following the lady throughout the lecture, which she contrived, in the midst of repeated inter ruptions, to deliver. Of course she insisted on the abso lute right of the fair sex to adopt that style of dress which they conceived to be most conducive to their per sonal comfort and convenience, and maintained that in the Bloomer costume—of which she declared the advan vantages from personal experience—there was nothing offensive to modesty. On the contrary, she avowed 'that it was both convenient, modest, and becoming; and ex pressed her assurance that it would be adopted by every woman of good heart and disposition. A cruel wag Su the hall at this point raised a laugh at the expense of the lair Bloomer, by asking her if she included along with these "good understandings." Amidst various episodes of this kind, which every now and then checked the progress Of the lecture fur a few minutes Mrs. Dexter struggled on and made h er b ow to the audience about half-past nine o clock, amid tremendous cheering, hooting, waving of hats, &c. With some difficulty she got off the platform and into a side room, where we presume she waited till the coast was clear, though we have little doubt that the groups, who were gathering round the foot of the stairs leading to the hall, would not allow her to leave without a ileisy demonstration at parting. —.Ver.. Brilish Int Court. THE QUEEN'S PROGRESS. EDINBURGH. Iler Majesty and the Royal Family left Balmoral on Tuesday morning at eight o'clock, on their return south fur England. The royal party proceeded by Bellater, Aboyne, and Banchory, to the Stonehaven station of tho Aberdeen Railway, where the royal saloon carriage, be longing to the London and North Western Railway, wee in waiting fur their conveyance to Edinburgh. The royal party reached Stonehaven about half•past one, where lun cheon was provided and after a stay of a short time, the royal train proceeded southward with two engines, and escorted by several of the directors of the Aberdeen Railway. . _ _ The royal train pr6eeeded at a very rapid pace along the line. On reaching Forfar, where the Scottish Midland line commences, Mr. Stirling, of Kippendavie, and two of the other directors of that company, relieved the directors of the Aberdeen line. Shortly after leaving this station a casualty befell one of the carriages in the rear, the axle having taken fire from the friction, owing to the rapidity at which the royal train was proceeding. This was fortunately observed at the very first, and a carriage was procured in its stead. After a de lay of a quarter of an hoer the train again proceeded on its 'journey, no stoppage occurring till the royal party reached Perth, where the directors of the Midland Junction line gave place to three of the directors of the Scottish Central, the Lord Provost of Perth, Provost Sewers of Stirling, and Mr. Ronald. At the Fair Cityfis military guard of honour was turned out at the railway station ; and a large assemblage of citizens were present, who conducted themselves with the greatest de corum. After waiting a few minutes the royal trainagain sped on its way, leaving place after place far behind in a second or two; and no stoppage was made till the royal burgh of Stirling was reached. Here also a guard of honour w as turned out to salute her Majesty, and a considerable crowd was collected. The royal train, however, only delayed fur a minute or two. At Polntent, Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Hog, of Newlisten, and another director of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail way, were in attendance to receive her Majesty. The royal train had hitherto had two engines belonging to the Scottish Central attached to it, that company work ing the lines travelled over from Stonehaven. Here, however, these were removed, and one of the largest and most powerful of the engines connected with the Edinburgh and Glasgow took their place. From this point everything went smoothly along, the royal party proceeding at a dulling pace, till the train reached Broom house, about 13 mile, from Edinburgh, where, te.for tunately, another casualty held it. On reaching the place above-named, a noise, as of a slight explosion, was heard, and a dense cloud of smoke was immediately seen rising from the engine, enveloping the carriages in the rear for a minute or two ; and the tram all at once came to a dead stand. Steps were immediately taken to ascertain the cause of the accident, when it was discovered that the feed pipe, from the great pressure upon the engine, had given way. No time was lust in communicating the circumstance to her Majesty, and in informing her that no person was hurt, and that there was no cause ter alarm. Intelligence of the event had been despatched along the line, and the pilot engine, which had hitherto preceded the royal train at a short distance, was brought back. After the disabled engine got off the rails, the pilot engine was attached to the train in its stead. This involved a delay of three-quarters of an hour, during which time her Majesty kept her place in the saloon carriage. She appeared not to be the least discon certed, but good-humouredly reconciled herself to the in writable stoppage. A train being due from Glasgow a short t'me after, signals were at once had recourse to, and other steps taken, to apprise them in charge of it of what had happened, and to prevent it coming unawares upon the royal carriages. We regret to state that Earl Grey, in coming out of unc of the carriages, on being made aware of the accident, slipped his foot, end received a slight sprain. All things having been put in proper train for proceed ing, the royal party again pursued their journey, and reached Edinburgh at live minutes to eight o'clock—an hour and a lia:f behind the time fixed upon. On alighting at the Queen's station, nt St. Margaret's, her Majesty sv.ss received by the directors of the North British Runway, and by Mr. Sheriff Gordon, Major-Gen. Riddell, and J. A. Campbell, Esq. The royal party appeared in excellent health and spirits, evidently much benefited by their sojourn in tho north, and in no way fatigued by the length of the journey. The royal cortege having formed, and the escort of dra goons taken up their position, the cavalcade proceeded at a smart pace in the direction of Holyrood, amidst the loyal congratulations of the assembled multitude who lined the carriage way on either side. On reaching the palace, her Majesty was received by the Lord Prosost, and, in the absence of the lho:e of liamilton, by Mr. Rutherford, deputy-keeper of Holyrood palace. The royal dinner party, in the evening, consisted of her Majesty, Prince Albert, Earl Grey, and the other members of the suite. DEPARTURE FROM EDINBURGH. Iler Majtsty, Prince Albert and suite, left liulyrood on Wednesday morning at half-past eight, proceeding by the Regent road, and Princes-strtet to the Caledo nian Railway terminus at the Lothian-road. the line of streets along which the royal cortege pasi , ed was filled with numbers of the citizens, who assembled to give a parting welcome to her Majesty on her departure for England. The streets were kept by the military and police. Over the entrance to the railway terminus a fine canopy, beautifully decorated with heaths and evergreens, was erected. The royal party left about 9 o'clock, amidst the cheering of the mumbled thousands. The weather was very favourable. LANCASTER, WEDNESDAY. Iler Majesty arrived at Lancaster. the capital of her duchy, at a quarter to two o'clock this afternoon. The " good old town" had been in a flutter of excitement ever since her Majesty's intention had been intimated, and pre parations on a considerable scale bad been made for a fitting reception. The Castle of Lancaster, which forms the chief object in her Majesty's visit, occupies a commanding position on a hill to the west of the town. The towers at present stand ing are the Dungeon Tower, Adrian's Tower, the Bell Tower, the Gateway Tower, and the large square central citadel, called the Lungess, to the summit of which her Majesty ascended. Lancaster was originally a Roman station, and the first citadel was erected by them here. It remained in their possession about three hundred and thirty years. The Saxons subsequently held the castle, but its importance ceased under their sway, and it was comparatively neglected. Roger de Poiton, one of William the Conqueror's powerful barons, had all the land betwixt the Ribble and Mersey, as well as the hundreds of Amounderness, Furness, and Lonadale allotted to him, and he fixed his residence at Lancaster. The great Norman Keep, or Lungess Tower, now was erected, and formed the residence of the noble Norman. After many vicissitudes the barony of Lancaster was raised to an earldom, and subsequently to the dignity of a duchy. It attained the consummation of its power by giving an heir to the throne. John O'Gaunt, fourth son of Edward 111., became the son-in-law of the Doke of Lancaster, and afterwards succeeded to the estates and dukedom of his lather-in-law. John O'Gaunt was a great benefactor to the town of Lan caster, erected the noble Gateway Tower, obtained from his royal father a charter for the corporation of Lancaster, giving them the exclusive privilege of having pleas and sessions holden there, and nowhere else in the county. Henry of Bolingbroke, son of John o'Gaunt, on the death of his father, recovered his estates which had been seized by Richard 11., and subsequently dethroned that imbecile monarch and ascended the throne himself as Henry IV. The duchy then merged into the crown, but the adminis tration of its affairs was kept distinct from those of the crown, and they have remained so ever since. The Castle, since that period, has suffered the usual fate of citadels in the succeeding wars. It is now used merely as a prison fur criminals and debtors. New and handsome courts have been erected. The reception which awaited her Majesty at the good old town was very gratifying. The route from the railway station to the Castle was lined with spectators, and barriers were erected to preserve strict decorum. The royal party was met at the station by the high-sheriff, Thomas Perci val Heywood, Esq., and by the mayor of the borough, H. Cresson, Esq. On the Queen's arrival she entered the high sheriff's carriage, and, preceded by the mayor, senior alderman (J. Dockray, Esq.), and the town clerk, the royal cortege proceeded up Meeting-house-lane, crossing at the tpp of Market-street, by Castle-hill, and passing three ex ceedingly neat triumphal arches composed of evergreens, end decorated with Lags, &c. On the Cantle Parade an immense platform was erected on which was placed about five thousand pause, whose rim were exceedingly loyal as the royal party hove in eight. The Queen was conducted into the Shire-hall by the cus tomary entrance, passing through the Judge's retiring room. On her entrance into their beautiful court-house, the whole company, which comprised the ilite of the county, received her Majesty by bowing, according to an instruction to that effect. Iler Majesty was accompanied by Prince Albert, and the royal children, the Earl of Car -1 lisle, and the usual suite. _ Archdeacon Brook; accompanied by E. G. Hornby, Esq., chairman of the Lancaster Sessions; Foster, Esq., chairman of the Salford Sessions; and T. B. Addison, Esq., chairman of the Preston Sessions, were then introduced to her Majesty, when Mr. Brook; in a clear and very iur pressive manner, read the address of the county magi strates, to which her Majesty replied, but in so low a tone that what she said was not heard beyond the circle. The four gentlemen had then the honour of kissing heads. The Mayor, Alderman Duckray, and Town Clerk were then presented, and the borough address was read by the latter. It was as follows: TO TIE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLICBT WAJESTT. May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's loyal subjects, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of your ancient borough of Lancaster, beg to approach your Majesty with the expression of our ardent affection fur your Majesty's person, Find of devoted attachment to the throne on which, by the blessing of God, your 3Liksty is seated. We crave li permission further to express the grateful sense we enter tain of your majesty's condescension in honouring us with your gracious presence; and to assure your Majesty that the impression which so marked a token of royal favour has mule on ourselves and fellow townspeople is such as neither time nor circumstance CM obliterate. It is yet further our bounden duty to thank your . Majesty for benefits previously bestowed. For your Majesty's bounty in recently extending to one of our most useful public charities the aid of a royal donation, and for your Majesty's condescension in conferring upon our ancient grammar school thedignity of royal patro nage, we beg to offer our heartfelt acknowledgments. May we humbly avail ourselves of the opportunity now offered by your Majesty's goodness to advert to the peculiar cir cumstances that impart to your Majesty's sojourn within these walls a more than ordinary interest? It is with feel ings of cherished pride we reflect that from this highly favoured locality is derived the second title of your Majesty's illustrious house; and, carrying our thoughts back to the records of ages long passed away, we call to mind that the time-honoured spot, on which we are permitted by your Majesty's gracious favour to present to your Majesty this humble tribute of duty and affection, is the same, whereon centuries ago similar homage has been paid to one of the most mighty of your Majesty * renowned ancestors,whose career is identified with the palmiest days of England's chivalry, and whose memory is endeared to us by its intimate association with the day-spring of religious freedom within these favoured realms. We humbly trust that this nassing allusion to the reflected honours which your anc ient borough and castle of Lancaster have the Privilege of enjoying, will be deemed by your Majesty a pardonable indulgence, and that your Majesty will accept the expression of our boundless gratitude, fur allowing us, by this gracious visit, to add to our Lancaster annals one other royal reminiscence, and that one the dearest and the most memorable.—We hereby tender to your Majesty a humble offering of gratitude and dutiful obedience. And we shall ever pray that it will please Almighty God to shower his choicest blessings upon your gracious Majesty, upon the illustrious Prince, your honoured and much loved consort, upon the youthful members of your Majes ty's family, and that it may please Him in His great mercy to grant that your Majesty may long reign in uninterrupted happiness over a loyal and affectionat, people. The Mayor arid Alderman Dockray had the honour of kiising bands. The royal party then quitted the Hall amidst the warm and hearty plaudits of the assemblage. Iler Majesty afterwards ascended the Lunges, Tower, and on her return, after lunching, she returned to the sta tion, we have no doubt thoroughly convinced of the thorough loyalty of her Lancastrian subjects. ARRIVAL AT THE EARL OF SEFTON'S. (By Electric Thera OW (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, 'WEDNESDAY Maur. Tier Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, and party, arrived from Lancaster at Croateth-hall, in this immediate vicinity, at '2O minutes after d o'clock, p.m. The weather was exceedingly fine, and large crowds, principally of the surrounding gentry, who had received special invitations, welcomed the royal visitors on this their sovereign's first visit to Lancashire. Iler Majesty's noble host, the Earl of Sefton, conducted the Queen to the mansion, followed by Prince Albert and the Countess of Sefton. A select dinner party will have the honour of her Majesty's presence this evening. Should the weather continue line, the proceedings to-morrow will be attended with great eclat. TILE QUEEN'S RECEPTION IN LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The preparations for her Majesty's and Prince Albert's reception in this town arc now completed, and are of a character consistent with the importance of the com munity honoured with the royal visit. To-morrow is to be a gala day in the town and on the river, and corporation and dock authorities arc competing in magnificent outlay. To-morrow morning, at ten o'clock, her Majesty is to come into Liverpool, and at 11 o'clock she is to go on board the Fairy yacht, now awaiting her in the Mersey, and take a cruise on the river. The official programme of that and the other proceedings of the day appeared in the Express of Saturday, October 4. There are innumerable rustic festivities going on at Rainhill, Knowsley, and Croxteth, in honour of the royal visit. The tenantry of the Earls of Derby and Sefton will be the royal garde de corps, and countless triumphal and floral arches, along the roads and at the park entrances, indicate the loyalty which has so loug lair. latent in Lan cashire. As guards to look after the other guards het Majesty will be further protected by several hundred of the county constabulary and some companies of dragoons. In the evening in the villages, on the Knowsley and Crox teth estates, there will be fireworks, open public houses, illuminations, bands of music, and everyother manifestation of agricolous joy at her Majesty's presence in the neigh bourhood. At Croxteth Hall a limited but distinguished party has been invited by the Earl of Sefton to meet and dine with her Majesty and the royal consort. Earl Grey is the Secretary of State in waiting on her Majesty. Barriers arc continued along the whole route visited by the Queen, and will secure all the advantages of a rope barrier on a race-course, enabling the crowd to stretch themselves comfortably through the town, and giving every man, woman, and child in Liverpool the chance of a glimpse at the gracious countenance of the royal lady. Within the barriers police, military, and some fifteen hundred young men who have enrolled themselves as special constables for the time, constituting a "guard of honour," will keep order. On the river, steamers, yachts, and small craft, with all colours flying, will make a marine street for the little Fairy to steam through safely. The scene on the river will, in deed, if the day be fine, be worth her Majesty's remembering. All ferry traffic and tide tailings will be stopped between morning and evening. After the river, the two principal objects of her Majesty's inspectioa will be the Sailors' Home, the foundation-stone of which was laid some few years ago by Prince Albert, and the St. George's Hall, the first atone of which was laid on the day her Majesty was crowned. The Marquis of Lansdowne (Lord President) ar rived in town yesterday, and in the afternoon took his de parture for his seat, Bowood-park, Wilts. - . . Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office, from the governors of the West India Colonies. DIOCEsAN SYNOD MEET:NG AT DEEBT.—Yester day afternoon (Weilmsday) a meeting of 300 clergy and laity assembled at Derby, under the presidency of the Rev. T. Collins, of Knaresborough. A report was read and adopted, and the following resolutions were moved, se emitted, and supported by the Venerable Archdeacon Deni son, Captain Moorsom, J. D. Dickenson, Esq. ' the Rev. F. Merewether, Canon Trev or , F. M erewet h er , Esq., J. Rus sell, Esq., the Rev. Cooke, and the Rev. J. Swecte : That th's meeting pledgee itself to earnest and re newed prayer to Almighty God, and perseverance among the members of his church, on the behalf of the revival of synodical action, considering it to be essential to the completeness of the constitution, and to the Efficiency of the practical working of the church. That the encouragement which the committee have already received from nearly all persons in official situations with whom they have held communication, is an additional motive fur their continuing to press upon the minds of churchmen the necessity of diocesan synods, with the same respect and deference fur ecclesiastical order and authority, which they have hitherto exhibited. That this meeting re quest the committee to return thanks to ell persons and parties who have generously assisted them in their labours, and to Mr. Caswell and Mr. Pound for papers presented to them, without pledging its...lf to the statements and opinions contained therein. A finance committee was appointed, and thanks voted to the chairman, committee, and secie taries, and the meeting adjourned to early in February, to London. LONDON AND BRIGHTON AND SOUTH WESTERN R tILWASS.—The agreement between these companies for working the joint line into Portsmouth has just terminated, and the lomat company decline to renew it. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1851. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The daily experience of this week continues to add another, and that the greatest of all, to the wooden that have distinguished the glorious career of the Crystal Palace. Day by day, assemblages of considerably beyond 100,100 collect within its transparent walls, to prove at once its amplitude of accommodation, and the adamantine firmness of its apparently slender framework. Yesterday the aggro. gate closely approached that of the preceding day, and exhibited similar phenomena in the amount of pressure and excitement, in the varied aspects of the visitors, and the numerous channels from which the vast living stream was supplied. The only circumstance that tended to disturb the harmony of yesterday's proceedings was the purloining of • small packet of chocolate by a respectable looking foreigner, and the loss of two false teeth by one of the lady visitors. In the former case the offender was detected by the constable on duty in the act of placing the parcel in his pocket, and so much was he overcome by the discovery that he fainted twice on his way to the station, and while there submitting to the necessary preliminary investigation, the sense of humiliation was so apparent is hie dreadfully pallid countenance as quite to disarm all indignation at the paltry offence he had com mitted. In the other ease, the lady who had dropped her two teeth amid a crowd of nearly 100,000 people, rushed at once to the station to demand them forthwith from the police, and was loud in her denunciations of the inefficiency of the force, when she found that the prospect of their re storation was not only not immediate, but was exceedingly problematical under any circumstance. It is understood that the experience of the past three days, with the wonderful development of the strength and capabilities of the Crystal l'alace, has wonderfully bright ened the prospect of its retention in its present site for the purposes of a winter garden. A feeling of sorrowing anti cipation at the approaching demolition of the fancy fabric has given way to a general determination that it shall stand; and,' further, it is most confidently rumoured that the highest personage in the realm has expressed an opinion in favour of its preservation so decided as com pletely to neutralise all the intrigues of Princes-place or of the lords and lordlings in its immediate vicinity. Tho attendance of schools yesterday was unusually numerous, and comprised the following : St. Luke's Ragged, Lambeth, 25 ; St. John-street Ragged, 20; Chelsea School, 30; Brompton, 10; Marylebone (workhouse), 258 ; Fulham ditto, 100 ; Charter-house Charity, 14; Training College, Chester, 77; Adelphi Chapel Ragged, King William's Ragged, 28; Enfield Charity, 30 ; Lambeth Ragged, 52 ; Hornsey Ragged, 51; John-street, Old Kent-road, 42; All Saint's, Stepney, 167; Harrow-on-the-Hill Charity, 35 ; Tower Ward, 32; Ful ham Union School, 101 ; Ruislip, Middlesex, National School, 22; Hammersmith National School, 21; All Saints' Church, Spite Melds, Sunday-school, 59 ; Kensington Ragged School, 13; Neale's-yard Ragged School, 26; Episcopal Chapel, Gray's-inn-road, 21 ; Camden and Agar Town Itagged School, 3i ; Ilopkin's-street Ragged &hoot, 13 ; St. John's Servants' School, New Ormond -street, 16; Christ's Hospital School, Ipswich, 24 ; British and Foreign School, Abingdon, Berkshire, 16.5; Nottingham Blue Coat School, 18.

Last evening Mr. Benjamin Webster, the lessee and manager of this popular place of amusement, took his benefit, and certainly that gentleman must have been gm tilled by the crowded house which assembled at once to comp!iment and to reward him for his exertions on behalf of standard English comedy. The first piece selected for the occasion was the vernacular version of that old f:vourite, " The Sonnambula," in which the principal characters were sustained by Miss Louis/ l'yne, Mr. Har rison, and Mr. Weiss. Of Miss Pyne's Amino it is scarcely isissible to s:seak too highly. The first part was rendered with pleasing accuracy, great sweetness of tone, and much artistic skill; at the same time she fell not into the what is ofti a the weak point of the lyric drama, namely, too little attention to histrionic merit. Miss Pyae's Amino was a charming piece of acting. The grand hitale of the second act was given with great power and effect ; but through out, the performance was characterised by grace, modesty, and propriety. The celebrated "Do not mingle" was admirably executes', and received the compliment of an encore. Mr. Harrison,: who personated Elmo, was suffering from the effects of a severe cold and sore throat, hut he managed to get through the piece very creditably. Mr. Weiss, in Count ks.doVio, also appeared to win :" golden opinions" of the audience. The choruses were taken in admirable time, and the success of the opera was complete. Miss Pyno, and the two gentlemen just particularised, were called before the curtain, and almost overwhelmed with enthusiastic plaudits. Mr. Webster himself was afterwards greeted with Llllo less warm, and certainly a perfectly well-deserved reception in Tortiffe. Mr. Lambert likewise displayed great ability as the Tepee sentstive of the hypocrite's absurd dupe, Or on. These gentlemen were admirably supported by the rest of the dramatis persona., who left nothing to be desired. The entertainments concluded with the amusing piece of " Grim @haw, Bagshaw, and Bradshaw." UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL_ OXFORD, OCT.

The work of de molition and dispersion still proceeds of the materials of the old House of Commons, and several portions of the New Palace of Westminster are now seen to greater perfection than they were when the old premises were up.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. — Tuesday evening a fatal accident happened on tke line of the Eastern Counties Railway to a man named William Lever, under the follow ing circumstances: The deceased was in the service of the Electric Telegraph Company, and was in the act of cross ing the railway near the Mile End platform, when he was jammed between the buffers of two carriages. Ho was ex tricated, and carried to a surgeon's in the neighbourhood, who found the deceased had received such serious injuries that he advised his removal to the London Hospital, whi ther he was conveyed in a cab, but when the vehicle reached the institution the unfortunate man was found to be quite dead, having expired in the cab. The body was examined by the resident medical officer, who ascertained that the deceased had sustained extensive internal injuries. The body was conveyed to the dead-house to await an inquest, which will be held t rmorrow afternoon. t AND LIVERPOOL AGRICUL TURAL SOCIETY. The annual dinner of this society (formed four years ago by the amalgamation of the agricultural societies of Liverpool and Manchester), was held on Tuesday even ing, in the Manchester Corn Exchange. The Right Hon. the Earl of WILTON, the president for the year, took the chair. Among those present were: Lard de 'Labial-, Peter Ainsworth, Esq., M.P., Earl Talbot, Colonel Addison, T. T. Parker, Esq., Samuel Brooks, Esq., W. I'. Egerton, Esq., 11. Msinwaring, Esq., Jonathan Bruckshaw, Esq., T. W. Tattoo, Esq., and the Rev. George Eaton. The cloth having been removed, the usual loyal and other toasts were given by the noble chairman. The CHAIRMAN next proposed, "Success to the Man chester and Liverpool Agricultural Society." Ile had always considered that the objects of this society, whose anniversary they were met to commemorate, and of all of a kindred nature, were twofold; in the first place, by awarding prizes to create a spirit of proper emulation amung the agricultural classea, and by the application of science and *kill, and by an improved system of cultivation, to diminssh the cost and to augment the amount of produce capable of being raised from the soil of this country; and in the second place, to bring together upon kindly terms, and in social and friendly intercourse, the landlord and the tenant, the agriculturist and the labourer, and what was of still greater importance, the representatives of the manufacturing and trading classes, of whom he was pleased to see so many then present. Ile laid claim to no more knowledge on agricultural subjects than ought to be possessed by every English gentleman of the present day; awl he would not, therefore, take up their time by pre tending to give an opinion which system of draining or cultivation was the best. He had reason to think that it had been extensively believed that previous to the enact ments of 1816, and which were supposed to have stimu lated to great exertion the efforts of the farmers, that that class in England had been deficient in skill, eneray, and enterprise; but long before those enactments, English farmers did succeed in raising a greater amount of produce per acre than had ever been raised by others in Europe or even in the United States. In France, where the best system was pursued, the produce was about 16 bushels per acre, and in .the United States about 18; but recent parliamentary returns showed that in Eng.land, at the time of the close of the American war, the produce was 20 bushels per acre, and that, partly owing to the good un derstanding subsisting between the landlord and the tenant, partly by the exertions and enterprise of the En„alish fanner, and mainly, perhaps, owing to the assistance and encourage ment of agricultural societies, the produce of the laud of this country had been increased in 1816 to an average of 32 bushels yearly per acre. (Applause.) The same re turns also showed that while the population had increased 32 per cent., the produce of the country hail, during the same period, increased 1G per cent. During the last ten years, too, about four million hundred weight of guano had been imported from the ports of the Pacific, for the pur poses of manure. Ile mentioned there facts, because a great deal had been said about the want of skill, energy, and enterprise, on the part of the English fanner, before the enactments of 1816; hut at the same time it could not be denied that important improvements had taken place since that period. Ile believial that it was generally acknow ledged that agriculture, in this ueighliourlerod, was in a tolerably flourishing condition ; but this circumstance could not be considered us a test of the real state of agriculture in the purely rural and corn districts of the country— (applause)—because he was satisfied of the correctness of the opinion he hail before expressed, that the tenant farmers who held laud surrounding agricultural towns were pretty nearly in the same condition us market gardeners near the metropolis. While the most emixent state,men, and the most learned private individuals, differed so widely as they now did as to the correctness or otherwise of the policy of 1846, he thought the agri culturists had nothing to do but to await the issue of the great experiment then commenced. But lie was free to confess that in 1816, he feared that the unrestricted im portation of foreign produce would have tho effect ol re ducing prices to such an extent as to barely, if at all, leave the cultivation of land profitable, anal the prosent prices of corn, added to the burdens that now rested exclusively upon the land, led him to fear that iu the agricultural and corn growing districts it was hardly possible for the tenant fanner to make any profit at all, or for the lauillord to claim that return in the shape of rent to which he was clearly anal justly entitled. He had also dreaded—connected and at tached as he was to this town and neighbourhood, and in termingled as all his interests were with the prosperity . of the manufacturing districts—lest when our enterprising manufacturers met with successful competition abroad, they might find, too lute, that they had loot their market for their goods. (Applause.) Ile could only hope and trust that his tears anal anticipations upon this subject might not be realised. In common fairness, however, they ought to look to and consider the condition of their brother agricuL turista who did not Rows,' the advantages which those in this district enjoyed; for he believed that all whom he was addressing would agree with hint in considering the state of agriculture in this district to be an exceptional one. In conclusion, he would say to those present, "Exert your ',elves to the uttermost, relax not in your efforts, fur these are not days in which men can stand still." Let landlords and tenants, agriculturists and manufacturers, pull to gether ; then we mi..tht rest assured of the fulfilment of that great object to which we were all looking, namely, cheapness of cultivation and increased produce of the sail, l and then we should also ensure that which he would now propose to them as a toast, " %CM,' to the Manchester uud Liverpool Agricultural Society." (Loud applause.) The Right Hon. Lord DE TABLET next proposed the health of the chairman, to which his lordship briefly re sponded, and then gave " The health of the vice-presi dents," .T. EGERTON, Esq., in responding, remarked that it could not be denied that agriculturists were now exposed to much competition; that they were, in fact, much in the position of an overweighted racer. But many of those pre sent would, no doubt, know that before now weight hail won the race; and he had so much faith in the zeal, science, and endurance of British farmers, DA to believe that, spite of extra weight, and however keen tho competition, they would, like their friends the manufacturers, be in the market to meet the foreigner, and, as he believed, would ultimately beat him from it. (Loud applause.) But to do this, all classes must pull together ; and if landlords and tenants would only put their shoulders to the wheel, with a long and a strong pull, he believed the, might get well through their difficulties at once, and win the race in the end. Farmers must also leans that with small capital it was useless to think of cultivating a large farm, which was 'now too often attempted, but which was an error which he hoped would be avoided for the future. (Applause.) Earl TALBOT (by the permission of the noble chairman) proposed the next toast, "The Mayor and Corporation of Manchester." Ile was satisfied that there could be no greater fallacy, and no greater enemy to the national pros perity than he who would strive to enforce it, than that the agricultural and the manufacturing classes had interests which could be independent of or ditkrent train each ether. Ile had his own views on the policy of BIG, and had before expressed them; but he was satisfied that there was no manufacturer who, when lie was convinced that that policy had been and was injurious to the great bulk of the agricultural population, would not be as anx ious for the restoration of impart duties as the agricultur ists themselves could possibly be. JOHN POTTER, Esq., mayor of Manchester, in ac knowledging the toast, expressed his regret that circum stances had prevented his attendance at the previous meetings of the society. He had felt very great pleasure in being present that evening, because he was meet anxious to convey to those present with him, as he ft.t he could with the utmost sincerity and truth, the feeling of the manufac turing interests of England—that they were most anxious and desirous, and would use every title in their power to promote the success of the agriculture of Eng land. (Applause.) lie knew nothing about the cultivation of the land—about tile draining or sub. soil ploughing. lle was told that our agriculturists had something to learn from the light ploughs as well as from the reaping machine of America—but of that the agriculturists themselves were the hest judges. But he knew that whatever might be thought about the burdens on laud, about free trade, or about the cotton interest seek ing its own advantage at the expense of the agricultural interest, he was certain that the more we w;:re called on to rely upon our own exertions, intelligence, and industry, the more we should prosper in whatever we were called upon to do. (Applause.) lie felt that an honour had been done him by the manner in which his health hail been drunk, in connexion with the public body to which he belonged; and lie thanked those present for that honour. The corporation of Manchester had been but recently established—it had had to struggle with many difficulties, at first with decided oppo nents ; but he believed that it had accomplished much fur the good of the community, iu every social, moral, and phy sical point of view, and deserved well at the hands of those whom its labours had benefited. As he knew the personal sacrifices which individual members of the corporation had made—as be had seen how well, strenucusly, and gratui tously, they had laboured for the public advantage—he trusted that these effort; would at any rate be ackuowledged by every fair and candid mind. (Applause.) Their noble chairman had said that Manchester was shortly to be honoured with a vi•it from royalty ; and he trusted that the inhabitants were deeply sensible of that honour, and that, as Englishmen, we shared the feelings of our fellow-countrymen, and were most anxious to welcome our sovereign with that enthusiastic loyalty which her public character and private virtues so well deserved. (Loud applause,) He wished that their noble chairman, and those nearest and dearest to him, would accompany her Majesty on her route through Manchester, and that he would recognise and appreciate the warm and loyal feeling which pervaded this district. (Applause.) Wo were going to have one of the most magnificent sights that ever lxngland witnessed. Seventy thousand Sunday•school children were to be called upon to welcome their sovereign, and to breathe those glorious and loyal feelings so well ex premed in our national anthem; and he hailed this einem stance as an omen of good to the country. Some of us who had been brought up as radicals were not, perhaps, inclined to go quite so tar now as we were some years ago. (" Hear," and ioud applause.) We had seen in the CM: of European nations the results which had been reaped from anarchy, re volution' and the license of democratic opinions, and we were more inclined to recognise and to value the blessings we en joyed under the constitution of our country. (Applause.) 11 e were more inclined to fall back upon that government of queen, lords, and commons, which had for centuries pre served intact the liberties of England; and if we only adopted what was now so great a desideratum, a ra tional, a national, and a good system of education, he hoped and trusted that that constitution was destined yet to outlive the passing of centuries, (Applause.) He believed that nit one of the 70,0(10 children who Todd be brought together In Peel Park would ever forget the occasion of her Majesty's visit; and he trusted that all of them, whether the children of agri culturists or of manufacturers, wisuid ever maintain those feelings of loyalty which were so becoming to Englishmen, and so well deserved by our beloved Queen. (Applause.) lie hoped that the corporation would ever he actuated by the one feeling of working for the good of the community; he believed he could say that no jobbing ever yet existed among them, and he hoped the day was far distant when it would so exist. They were to be robed for the first time very shortly, and although it was said that the lobe covered cor ruption some years ago, he hoped, at any rate, that in the present instance, it would not bring corruption with it. flo was certain that all in this community would heartily join in wishing success to the agricultural interest; and he, :is& merchant, engaged solely with the home trade, wus per fectl certain that if the agricultural interest did not pros per, his own interest must inevitably full. The SECRETARY next read the list of prizes, and the prizes were awarded by the chairman. The health of the judges was afterwards drunk and responded to, and the proceedings then terminated, about nine o'clock. THE CAMBERWELL MURDER AND SUICIDE. Yesterday, the inquest held by Mr. Carter in this case was resumed at 2 o'clock, hosing been adjourned, u will be rememlared last week principally for the attend ance of Mrs. Fawcett, the widow, and her daughter May Ann. . . ..... Mary Ann Fawcett was brought into court in the arms of a man. She said she had been to school, and knew this Lord's Prayer. She knew who was God's Son—lle was Jesus Christ. After giving some other answers cribeing • re sad religious training, she said she was eight years old last April. Her father's Christian name was Ant :any. Yesterday week she lived in Wyndham-road ; having come there on the previous Saturday. Did not know on what time she rose on Tuesday morning. 11cr Cattle r and mother, her sister Emily, and her brother Frederick, wen all at home. There was no other person in the boa:, In reply to the questions what happen( 41, and whether any one did anything to her, and other similar inquiries, sho proceeded to say:—My father cut me with a knife, is was his carving knife. I was up in the first-flmr front I mm. Ile cut me in the neck. Ile also cut me in both handd. I put my hands up to my neck. I heard the baby (Frederick) crying, he was in the parlour. I saw hint there before I went up stairs. Father told me to go up fur a collar. I had just before come down stairs. I then saw Frtdc rick sitting in a chair at breakfast. I sat down to breakfast. My lather was in the shop, he had his caat on. My mother went out to post u letter for my father. I saw her do so. When I went up stair , , my father followed mo. He came to me in the front room. Ile said nothing to me, but took hold of my neck and cut me. I said to him, " Don't, father." After he cut me, he went to the !tack room, where my sister Emily was. I nuticAl his Emily was sitting up in bed, baring her breakfast. I telt that my neck was cut. I ran down stairs while he was going into the back room : he then had the knife whir's ho cut me with in his hand. Alter he went into the room I heard my sister cry out, "Oh, mother." Oa running into the parlour, I saw the baby. Ito was lying on the floor, against the window. I haul left him sitting in the chair. Ile had his night .:ress on. I looked at him and saw he was dead. I thought he was dead because he was cut in his neck. My fattier ran down stairs as 1 was in the parlour. lle came into the par lour, took the knife otf the table, and cut me again. lie did not speak to me. Recut me on the left side the came as before. After cutting me again he ran into t he kitchen, while I staid in the parlour. When I was cut the 14. ,and time my mother was still out. Not long after I heard a knock. My father was then in the kitchen. On opining the door I saw my mother. We had ito lodgers. ! did not see any permit enter or leave the house excel.: my mother. I saw my father's face when he took huia of ate. I don't recollect what I said to my mother 'chest I oi...ued the door to her. The child was then removed from the room. The Coroner then left it to the jury ta say whether, after the evidence they had heard, they r..quind uny in addition, intim:al:lg that ho himself wlsperleetly convinced by that already adduced. The foreman of the jury expressed a wish to have tho widow examined with regard to the letter, in ord, rto as certain whether or not tho writer contemplated suicEo at the time of inditing it. Sophia Fawcett was then led into tl.e room, in n pit:ablo state of weakness. On being examined, she said her noon was Sophia Fawcett. The deceased, Anthony Fawcett, was In r hus band. She came to live in Wyndham-road last Saturday night week, having removed front \e. 1, Wyndham-street, Bryanstone-square. Slw lived at the latter place six months, and the house she came to was Na. I, Qu. so's place, Wyndham-road, Camberwell. Three of her children came with her. Before the removal her husband Wll a porter at a cunfectiuner's. His object in removing was to do better for his family by entering into business in the general line. They arrived at the boost soon after six o'clock on Saturday evening. She and her husband c uat haltpast six on 1 ueulay morning. They had breallast between half-past seven and eight o'clock. Before lir, ak fast her husband was occupied in the shop attending to one or two customers. Ouc young man who cause into the shop that morning, said, " I'm sorry for you that ye ire taken the business ; there is no business to be done here." Iler husband was very low and very dull from Saturday night. Ile only shook his head in reply to the y. ung man. Remarks of the same kind as that of the young man were made by other persons on Monday. At S tit:link on Tuesday morning she went to the post-ultke to post two letters, one to Mr. Bridgeton and the other to a tea it , hler. Her husband wrote them on Monday night. She did not see the contents of either of them. '1 he object of the 1 ttcr to the tea dealer was to inquire why an order had nut :wen executed. Her hudiand told her that the object of tle-t to Mr. Bridgman was to thank him for his kindness. On proceeding to the post-office she left at home her two daughters, Mary Ann :mil Emily and Frede rick ; there was no one else besid e s t hem and bar husband in the house. She was only aliment about Fenn minutes at the outside. She went out lay the shop-door. Ou her return, the shop-door being shut, she went to the Private one. She had tried to recollect whether she tried the shop door and could not. When she knocked she ap prehended that something had occurred. After having knocked three tunes she thought her husband was n, more. She thought this because from Saturday night till Tuesday morning her husband's mind was in a dreadful state of ex- eitenimrt, owing to his suspicion that he had been deceived in the business. He did not sleep all that time. Before coming to the house he was quit,: c m ! posed. The door was opened by her daughter Mary Ann. Ou entering, she saw that something h a d occurre d. She had been t"ia that her husband was no murc, and had no doubt that he died by his own hand. Her husband's health had not been very good for the last few nion!hie. Five months ago he went away and threw himself into tho Thames. After he recovered, witness asked him what ho did it for. He merely shook his h ea d an d appeare d :cry much affected in his mind. lie had been in had health tot seine time before he first attempted suicide. Witness had always thought front his manner that he would kill himself sooner or later. He was often very much excited. He never threatened to commit suicide, but she considered that his head had not been in a bound state for many years. All that he hail to drink on the Sunday an d Monday home (Hate), preceding the murder was a pint of beer on each day. Her impression was that he destroyed his eliiEren and afterwards himself, in a state of insanity. On Monday she said to him " You tak e no not i ce of the dear halms.. At first he made no reply, but on her r e p ea ti ng the obser vation, he said, " Yes, I do." He was generally doatingly fond of his children. Ile was never played under restraint, but was cupped and bled a great mans' times. She had promised overnight that she would post the letters. Mr. Frederick Bridgman, the former employer of the deceased, residing at 10, Wigmore.street, Cavendish square, was theu examined, lie suid the deceased had been in the employ of himself and his halter twenty-three years. On Tuesday week lie ree , ived a letter from him. No reference was made in it to his death. ilia wife told witness that in July last he threw himself into the Thames, and in consequence witness would not allow him to return to his employ. Hail not seen the deceased since. On the 16th of July, the day be fore he threw himself into the Thames, he lett witness ttnn. porarily, having been very much intoxicated. 01 late years he had been of very intemperate habits, and under the effects of liquor lie was always very much excited. Saw his wife frequently . after he first attempted suicid e ; p a id her his wages for n time , It. a week, and th en gave him d9l. to go into business. If the business hail not answered he would have had na claim on witness, except for length of ber:ice. Had not given him to understand that in that ca.: he should have no other assistance. Joseph John Fawcett was next examined. Ile was hro thee of the deceased, and got his living as a casual parlor at Dover. Last saw brother alive th a t d a y fortnight at his then residence. He told witness that he had taken a 'Ami nes,. Witness said he did not like the neighbourhom:, ::ud the deceased resided that he hoped he was in honest lmr.ds. lie then accompanied the deceased and his wife to t h o Ex hibition. During the walk the deceased rumbled very inlets in his talk, and witness observets to the wife that ho 1.• :red his brother was not right, and would make anotlwr att :opt on his lite if the busineAs did not answer. Witness's f. then destroyed Idnifelf. His brother Anthony had nee. r to witness's knowledge been under restraint. This closed the evidence. The jury, after iihrii;ii:Umming up by the Coroner, took an hour and a quarter to consider their verdict. They then declared that Emily and Frederic% Fawcett were wil fully murdered by Anthony Fawcett, and that Anthony Fawcett d,stroy..l himself while labouring under a lit of temporary insanity." It may here be stated that immediately after the discovenr of the sad catastrophe, the widow and surviving having no home say.• that which had become, by Ustnia tioa at least, tiro horrible for their further occupation, were invited by a neighbour, Mr. Lee, a total stranger to tisem, and who is, it appears, a compositor at Ilansard's minting office, to take up their abode under his roof, No. 4, Wy A bdul-road; and from that limo Up to yesterday evc, qr. they were tweiving, day and night, his humble but g,:ktr ous hospitality and the kindest attention. During the progress of the inquiry it wu rumoured that a subscription was about to be covmi•aeed oa behalf or Mrs. Fawcett and her child, who appeared to be in a deploratile, if not destitute position.
