DE °ZEMIN; after great earls, ancoreded in calling the attention of the Government to the anomalies which hampered the working of the system, and some alight and ineffec tual modifications were introduced. Within the last taw weeks, however, additional facilities have been given to the holders of Credit Foncit r bonds (when held so orearity for loans) as regards their realisation, and Go egaratkoe of the Society appear to feet the geed Whet of these serious changes.

We have ?Arra to this matter at greater length them we should otherwise have done from the cie minriesee that the relative prices of the Credit Tomes sad the Credit Foncier shares have been = i s a sort of slur on the capacity of the new of the Bank of France.

Believing, mere elle. ant the position of the French Cridit Mobilise i.eWy attributable to the MAIM. Emus, ws di NI attach the slightest weight to the amen elik)ms been circulated, that M. E. Pin= is &beet to resign his post ea President. Still lees ces &Ws is it that he should have been imbed to some to mesh a determination from any feeling of diesp pointment at not being allowed to introduce his pe culiar views into the management of the Bank of France. The systems of the two establishments are PO totally different that the suggestion is palpably abased, and has no other foundation than the fact of his having been invited to express his opinion re specting the modifications to be introduced into the Statutes of the National Credit Establishment. The general financial views of the Count DE Gee. MDT are understood to be very similar to those of 31. D'Asc.ort —namely, to apply the resources of the Bank chiefly to the development of Commerce sod Agriculture, rather than to maintain the prices of Storks and Shama. He is said to be equally opposed with his predecessor to any extension of the paper currency unaccompanied by a proportionate metallic bailie; and on that account he is lees popular among • certain class of French financiers than some who mem maned as candidates for the office. Of good flimßr—his father having been a gentleman of Mmo position in Normandy—and of courteous rose, he pommies those personal &tinn ier* which, combined with his great powers of lication, arc essential to the maintenance of the of so important an aloe t and trying as the ocupemisca necessarily must be to any one succeed ing the late highly-respected Governor, we trust that M. or OCIIIINT will fully maintain the high character of the Bank of France as • National Esta blishment, and extend still more widely the sphere of its public utility. He accept' his appointment at • period by no mans free from political and financial elands ; but so far as our information goes, he would appear to be fully alive to the notiess:ty of continuing that firm and prudent coarse which has enabled his prodecemor to maintain the credit of the institution through periods of difficulty such as we trust may not again either endanger the Bank of France or cheek the growing commercial prosperity of the country. THERE WS= to be no question at all than Tendon who have violated their trust shall be made arias& nally responsible—that, as Lord BIOUGHAX sap, the fact of a man being a Trustee is only an aggravation of his robbery. The only difficulty which seems to be felt is as to the best mode of giving practical effect to this unanimous opinion. ameting any new law it is obviously eon 'saint to do so in the way which shall be most seedy understood by persons generally, and shall be most easily appliod by those who admi nister the law. In the case under consideration this is especially true, because the new law is one which will have to be applied, not only by the Judges of the Superior Courts, but by Magistrates at Quarter Senins. The Bill whirl the ATTOILNET•GENZIAL has introduced into the Homo of Commons consists of a good many sections, sad, so far as we have had an opportunity of forming an opinion, seems to be wincessearily prolix : whereas simplicity and definiteness ought to be the aim of the framer of every new criminal statute. ----- In defining this new criminal offence there is certainly ample material from which we may derive assistance. For the misappropriation of the property of another—in other weeds, fraudulent breaches of trust—have been deemed thefts from the time of ITSTINLita to the time of the Code NAPOLEON. In fret, it should seem that the only countries in which this offence is not considered criminal are England and Ireland. It is not the duty of a journalist to draw Acts of Parliament ; but having considered the matter, we cannot help suggesting that the whole object might be attained by some such simple clause as this : That any person who, being a trustee or bailee of the property of another, shall, with intent to benefit himself, fraudulently deal with such property, shall be dosed to have feladonaly stolen, takes, and carried aim such repute within the moaning of ea iallelmea he Weeny. This, as it seems M ier well semoolhit Ihe wide sod in view. The IliodeisoliesalgalL easiterhpesperty " being meek the dime d homy b ewapiste ; and this mho of dli f7le des has two advan tages. The *saddest imeisi is the English equi valent fits thefroadohne emereetotio of the Roman be, mid dierefore all the ewe which bare been ieilll won these words will serve as the beat pls r ue to the interpolation of the terms in lie proposed statute. But, further, this fraudulent dealing with intent to benefit himself is the popular notion—and, indeed, the true notice—of the mast aggravated species of theft. In charging the Jury, therefore, on such an indictment, the Judge will have the great advantage of knowing that the Jury will readily understand him : and in administering the law it is no small thing for a Judge to find that in enforcing a law he is enforcing an obligation the neglect of which is generally recognised ea a crime. We hazard these sugges tions on this important matter because we have reo son to believe that numerous attempts have been made to draw a satisfactory Bill on the subject, and because it appease, strangely enough, to be supposed that the making certain breaches of trust criminal is not only something quite new, but may, perhaps, lead to dangerous consequences, by preventing honest men from accepting trusts in future. The slightest con sideration, however, will show that there is nothing in either objective. At the same time we rejoice to find that so expe rienced and eminent an equity lawyer as Lord Sr. LIoNARDs has undertaken the task of relieving trustees from the consequences of some of those harsh doctrines which have hitherto prevailed in the Court of Chancery. There is scarcely any man of thirty who is not a Trustee in some way or other, generally in some marriage settlement, and there is scarcely a single Trustee who has not been guilty of some breach of trust, for which he may have a Bill filed against him. But, as Lord Sr. LEONARDS said, these breaches of trust are generally done from the most benevolent motives —in fact, at the earnest entreaty of the cestiti.que-trast-- of, in other words, the person beneficially into:sea Women, we are told, have gone down on their knees to implore the trustee of their marriage settlement to advance some of the settled mosey ; sad • !eau years after have actually themselves filed bills to have that very money repaid to them. Indeed, the kr/- convenience of being a Trustee is so great—the 11114 eulty of refusing to be • Traetee so considerable, dot the propriety of having some Company for the purpose of acting as Trustee has of late yeses been frequently broached ; and we understand that Company with limited liability is even now being established for this purpose. Lord Sr. LEONARRIS seems opposed to this idea, though we have remit to believe that some of the ablest lawyers sot Judges entertain a very different opinion. Tim plan of a Trustee-Company has, no doubt, ob vious advantages. For its own protection, it would adhere to the terms of the trust, it would fulfil the directions of the settlers of property and of testators, but further it would considerably diminish the expense of management, for it is well known that when Trustees are to be changed, or when their places vacated by death are to be filled up, a good deal of expense attends the new appoint ment. On every such change the property has actually to be conveyed just as it is trans ferred on a sale and purchase. Whereas, if the property were vested in the name of a Company, no each transfer would ever bo required, because the Company being a corporate body would be a permanent Trustee—it would neither die nor become incapable of acting. The question, however, whether the public will consent to have their affairs managed by a company instead of by individuals is one which time alone can determine. At all events we see no harm in making the experiment With regard to the details of Lord St. LEonsios measure, they are probably too technical for the columns of a journal ; but there can be no doubt that the doctrines of which his Lordship complains, have long been known and lamented by professional men, end we trust that the amendments of the law suggested by his Lordship may, notwithstanding the doubts of Lord Chancellor CRANWORTII, prove effectual. new effect was given to the myriad colours. The ear was pleased to ecotacy by the modulation of sound, human voices mingling with the strains of instruments, and mind and sense alike were taken captive. To exaggerate the impressions then excited would baffle the most imaginative. THE HANDEL FESTIVAL. THE REHEARSAL THIS DAY. This morning the Handel festival, so long the "ab ject of excitement and expectation in the musical circles not only of London, but of nearly the whole i kingdom, was fairly inaugurated by a grand dress rehearsal, as it is called, of the choral portions of the three announced oratorios. The company were more critical than, if not quite so numerous as, the crowds that may be expected on Monday, and the whole scene was calculated to give a very sufficient foretaste of the musical glories of the ensuing week. The grand orchestra, which had not been finished until last night, looked like a vast amphitheatre, and would be considered as affording sufficient accommodation for a large audience, anywhere but on Penge Hill, where ei erything from mute to megatheria is produced on the most coking scale. The great organ, v hieli has gradually ben built up in sections, and each section tested by anneal experiment, proved to be an instrument af stupendous power, such power, indeed, as to maks the lower garden terrace a by no means un favourable vicinity for the enjoyment of its im mense volume of sound. The transept was nearly filled with a very elegant company, there were a few also in the nave, where, thanks to the judicious clear ing away of several obstructions, there is quite"' good hearing and seeing as in the more expensive positions. Having been amongst the earliest of the arrivals, we bad ample opportunity for examining the general alffiffiliments, and are free to confess that every thing pearible has been done to transform this vest conservable, into a gigantic concert ball. The guinea mate in the transept are admirably arranged and classified, and, if not too near, will leave nothing to be desired in the way of accommodation. The galleries containing the five guinea stalls are luxuriously fitted up. and as there is little apprehension of these being too crowded, they will be admirably suited to the rich and delicate of our marital amateurs. An other comfortable reflection is that the weather is considerably cooler than it was a week since, and ;f to-day's temperature should be retained during next week, the action of the sun upon the glass will not produce so much inconvenience on was generally ap prehended. In the refreshment department Mr. Staples has made great exertions to satisfy the appetites that will have been whetted by three hours' sacred music. Comfortable dining room has been provided for 2,000 sitters in the various saloons, and well supplied refreshment stalls have been erected in the immediate neigh bourhood of all blocks and [galleries, and comestibles have been laid in immense profusion. Mountains of ham, myriads of thicken, tongues infinitely more numerous than were to be found in the tower of Babel, and pyra mids of pastry, that would do honour to the Boule vard Ita lia n. The rehearsal was originally announced to corn- MINIM at ten o'clock. and long before that hoer the deism at London-bridge wile besieged by musical milieus. The crowd, however, was naturally of the mesa select character, the wealthy ; and the teshion able were largely represented, while many artistic, musical, literary, theatrical, and scientific celebrities figured in the throng. The earlier steam boats and omnibuses brought the bulk of the choristera,whose accents, or exterior, usually denoted their provincial origin. With this class the ease and facility of the transit appeared to form the subject of as much admiration or astonishment as the structure they were visiting, hundreds of them, no doubt, for the first time. They evidently went prepared to witness crowding, crushing, and confusion. Indeed, some of them audibly ex their wonder and uprise at the end less streams of people flowing to and from the railway, but of pushing, squeezing, or fighting for places there was none. The admirable arrangements of the officials obviated all inconvenience or confu sion of that sort, and if their laboun pass off as smoothly next week as they have to day there will be no cause for fear or com plaint. But it wee not alone the railway that conveyed the visitors ; the road was preferred by a goodly proportion, and the morning being fine the ride down wee greatly enjoyed. Arriving at the Crystal Palace, its vast ex puisivecess became observable by its com paratively deserted aspect. The thousands who seemed overwhelming in the trains or at the station, were completely lost in the does avenues of this wonder of modern archi tecture. Once fairly entered, and seated in a gal lery of southern aspect, we were enabled to take in at a glance a tableau unequalled in beauty and mag nitude. Spreading many a rood" right in front of us was the leviathan orchestra, in size far beyond anything ever contemplated by the festival makers of ancient Greece or Rome, the whole of the centre-portion being filled by dense mares of Mr. Costa's black-coated choral legion, and the canine* fringed with the bright faces and gay toilettes of the innumerable St. Cecilia' who are to witch the world with their almost divine harmony during the ensuing week. At the centre of the chord of this immense semicircle was a neat pedestal, upon which stood the great maestro, baton in hand, and ready, by one magic wave of this potent little sceptre to awake into life and sound the thou sand voices and instruments which awaited the word of command. At this moment, the anxiety and ex citement of the audience were intense. There was a pease. Then the tap of the baton was beard, and, in a second, the whole of the orchestra burst out in a flood of stupendous harmony, and the suc cess of the combination became an established fact. The rehearsal began with the Overture to the Messiah, played by the orchestra about 400 strong. The effect of the instruments was excellent, the softest piano being distinctly heard, and the forte passages softened by the vast expanse. The choral, And the glory of the Lor d , " first dis played the power of the vast chorus, and dis pelled any doubts which might have been entertained as to their being able to move with precision. They followed Mr. Costa's beat with as much exactness as we have been accustomed to in Exeter Hall, and the masses of harmony were equally clear and distinct. In the chorus which followe "For unto us a child is born," the power of the voices was still more strikingly displayed. The con trast between the quiet, soft opening and the sudden burst of sound upon the words " Wonderful! Conn seller !" was inexpressibly sublime. Then followed . Lift up your heeds"—" The Lord gave the word"— and the chorus of choruses, the divine " Halle lujah." The performance of this stupendous effort of genius was the very climax of grandeur and sublimity. Madame Clara Novelle then entered the orchestra, and was received with a burst of ap plause. There was next a selection from Judas Maeeabeus, beginning with the chorus, " Mourn, ye afflicted children," the grave, melancholy character of which was beautifully expressed. It was fol lowed by another chorus of similar character, . For Sion lamentation make." The next chorus, . 0 Father, whose Almighty power," is the t in the Oratorio, and one of the greatest Lt Handel has composed. It tested, more than any that had yet been heard, the possibility of such a host of voices giving clear and distinct utterance to complicated fugal harmony. The asst piece tested the power of a single mike heard in this vast expanse. It was ft air " 0 Liberty," sung by Clara Morello. It might properly to be accompanied by a single violon la°, but on this occasion the principal performer lwas supported by several others. The fair singer's magnificent voice, however, rang through the place as if she had been singing in the Hanorer-equare Rooms. At the time oar report left, wheih was necessarily early, company were still arriving, and it was anticipated that royalty would be represented in the course of the afternoon, either bythe Prince of Wales or Prince Albert. There were no reserved sesta to-d, every one was left to take what seat he lik e; the majority, of course, selected the floor of the transept, but the galleries are decidedly the beat spots both for seeing and hearing.' In the course of the morning, and during the progress of the more solemn portions of ghe " Messiah," a cloud passed over the sun. The audience, as wallas the orchestra, were 'tending uncovered, and by the shade quite a EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (rams 0171 Owl! CORRISPOVDIINT.) PARIS, FRIDAT EVENIWO. The split between the leaders of the opposition in Paris is decided. The Debtsls, Sic('le, and Presse, adhere to the list of candidates originally published by the two latter journals, and the Courrier de Paris and Estafette nail their colours to another. The difference, however, bears only upon five oat of the ten cireumacriptione, namely, the let, 4th, 7th, Bth, and 10th. For the five others the namta are identical in the two lista, namely, Bethmont (2nd), Cavaignac (3rd), Carnot (3th), Gondeluta: (Gth), and • • . FerdfitandaeLastcyric(ith).fhe: will therefore Mill be supported by the united strength of the active opposition party in Paris. The list which I mentioned yesterday tia having been agreed upon by the committee, supported by the Costrrier de Paris, has been again slightly changed. M. Jean Reynand is brought forward for the Ist circumscription instead of M. Jules Simon, who is transferred to tho Bth ; and M. Eugene Pellotsn, of the &irk, is selected to oppose Dc, Veron in the lOth circumscription (that of &eau:). In order to avoid confusion, and u the mat- ter now really assumes considerable import ance, I copy this last revised list as given authoritatively by the Courrier de Paris and Estajette of this evening. It is as follows :—" Jean Reynaud, ex-representative (Ist circumscription), Bethmont, ex-representative (2nd), General Cavaig nee, ex-representative (3rd), Gamier Pages, ex-re presentative (4th), Carrot, ex-representative (3th), Gondehaux, ex-representative (6th), Jules Bostide, ex-representative (7th),J ales Simon,ex-representative (Bth), Ferdinand de Lasteyrie, ex-representative (9th), Eugene Pelletan, of the Sleek (10th). All the - above candidates, vrith the camp- tion of M. Pelletan, who is absent from Paris, have signed their bulletins, and deposited them at the parquet, so that they are legal candidates com ing in their own names, pursuant to the decision of _ . the Court of Caseation. The Cuurrier and &estate give the above ma a list recommended "at a meet ing of ex-representatives, ex-ministers, ex-council lors of state, AT., &c., constituted as an electoral committee," and (ignoring the list of the Debuts, Prase, and &eel') observes, " All the other candi datures, therefore, except the above and those pub lished by the organs of government, mast be con sidered only as individual candidatures." The Daats, in publishing the list of the Sieele and Presge, thus cautiously proclaims its adhesion to the coalition : It is searrely aseomsoy to se to observe that this Lid con tains the a 5.... al soma vary haboarahle mos whose opinions are sot ems, sad from wheel we we separated by a marked Memos at views. By the aide of those names figure Chen which for divers rea sons caurnand oar sympathise, and which we should wish to are honoured by the choice of the electors of Paris. We allude to the names of MM. Veen, former liquidator of the civil Int of Louis-Philippe ; Ferdi •aad de Lasterie, member of our former Chamblee; Hey non, former eub-prefect of Bees= ; Hethment, one of the moat distinguished mneben of the Paris bar; our colleague, M. &doused Lsboulays ; General Cavalgnac, who will always have a della on the gratitude of the country. The mew when names we have quoted do not all repreerat the same shade of opinion, but they belong to the liberal cause, and have gins sofficient proof at their attachment to order. We exclude no name, we merely point out our pretence.. Th. Press* declares itself well satisfied with this manifesto. It thinks the reserves of the Debate per fectly legitimate in its point of view. The Debate maintains its own independence, while it respects that of the electors. This attitude is also ours." Among the most important new opposition can didates in the departments are M. Dafaure, the eminent advocate and ex-minister in the Charente Inferieure, and M. Marie, of the provisional govern ment, in the Yonne. At the Bourse the market was very buoyant, and the Route in great demand. It was announced that the French Rentes would be quoted and transferred on the London Stock Exchange, and reciprocally the English Consols quoted and transferred on the French Bonne. The returns of the Bank of France published this morning are considered as very favourable, the bullion having increased blf mil lions, the portefeuilles decreased 34 millions, and the circulation of notes 14 millions. The market con tinued to improve to the close, the government broker making large purchases, in order, it was re ported, to invest the funds of the military dotation. The Bente rose 50c. for cosh, 55e. for account, closing at 68fr. 40c. and 68fr. 60c. ; Mobilier rose 20fr. The Orleans Railway rose 20fr., Mediterranean 27fr. 50c., and the other lines front sfr. to lOfr. A telegraphic despatch from Dijon, dated one o'clock this afternoon, states that the long-pending lawsuit between the State and the Count de Cham bord has been decided in favour of the latter. The Crown will doubtless appeal to tho Court of Cessation. A fire broke out yesterday afternoon, in the kn. stores of the cavalry barracks at Fontainebleau, sal at one time threatened to destroy the entire range of buildings. It was, however, got under in lass than an hour. This fire, following so quickly upon those at St. Germain and Versailles, leads to the suspicion that incendiaries mast have been at work. The authorities have ordered an enquiry. It is stated that at Versailles the remains of lucifer matches were found among the ashes of the straw consumed. The sale of several of Paul Delaroche's pictures took place to-day, and attracted a vast crowd d dealers and amateurs to the auction mart. The priest obtained were very high. The small picture of the " Virgin with holy women on Good Friday," was knocked down at 41,000 fr. " A martyr in the time of Diocletian" produced 36,000 fr. A reduced copy of the famous Ilemicycle, of the theatre of the Beaux Arts, brought 43,900 fr. "Christ, the Friend of the Afflicted," a picture less than ten inches high, pro dnoed 7,400 fr. An agent of the Marquis of Hert ford was present, and it is thought that he made several purchases. " The country house of M. Duchdne de Vere, well known as connected with the Napoleon Docks affair," says the Courrier de Paris, "has just been sold to )1. Arnauld, director of the Hippodrome, for 165,000 fr. This house, which is admirably situated at the entrance of Boulogne, had attracted the notice of the Duke de Malakoff, who wished to purchase it, but did not succeed."

(BY P.LECTRIC TELZORAPN.) SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDiT MO/NINO. The Teviut has arrived with the South American mails. Iler dates see:—ltio, May 15; Buenos Ayres, 3 ; Lisbon, Jane 9. She has brought home 101 passengers. Amongst her cargo arc diamonds worth 87,0521.; specie to the value of 239/., besides one box of gold dust. Her Maj:sty's ships Indefatigable, Wasp, Rifle man, and Virago were at Monte Video. The Presi dent sailed from Rio for England, and the Retribo. tion for the Pacific. The Princess Royal was at Lisbon. The Golden Fleece arrived at Bahia on the 19th from the River Plats. We learn that disease is rifo in Monte Video. In the confederate provinces everything goes on smoothly. The British Packet, published at Buenos Ayres, says that " So far as foreign or commercial matters arc concerned, we cannot extract much consolation from the present lowering aspect of political par ties." Exchange at Buenos Ayres, 745. per doubloon. The packet was detained by the British minister to carry home the result of the election for the go vernor of the province. Absina was e:ectecl, but he declined. His renunciation, however, was nega , tired by a majority of 44 to 11. His acceptance was looked upon as certain. The bank of Buenos Ayres had raised the interest of deposits. In the Argentine Provinces the revolution in the Rosa Rio had been put down by the governor of Sante Fe, and a temporary arrangement had been come to with Uniniza. At Rio the money market was tight. The Bank of Brazil had risen the rate of discount to 9 per cent. The coffee crop would be the largest ever known. It was doubtful whether the new ministers would be able to sustain themselves. An application had been madc by the merchants to suspend the operation of the new tariff. Yellow fever was diminishing at Pernambuco. The exchange on London was 271 to 28 ; 60 and 90 days. Money scarce at these rates. One hun dred and twenty thousand pounds effected by the Teviot. Freights have advanced. From Lisbon we learn that the King of Portugal had announced his intention to get married. It is believed that the intended Queen of Portugal is a daughter of the King of Bavaria; others assert that the royal choice has fallen on a Saxon Primus whom his Majesty saw at Breeden. It is believed that the concordat with the people will be rejected by the Cortez. A SAGE INQUIRY. (From the - Essiniser.) In the parliamentary reports of list Saturday ap peared the heading, Cows in Hyde Perk i What could this preface mean Wee it like fah in water or birds in air, or Sowers in June ? Or was it like bulls in China shops, or pigs in flower gardens, or bores in parliament! Was It a matter of grievance or congratulatica ? Was It • public wrong or a public right ? Wee it an encroachment on the rights of the subject, or was it • gracious boon of the Crown ? Who, on reading such • heading, knew what to think of cows in Hyde-park ? It was • bran-new palls mental, question. Ought the idea of cows in Hyde-park to excite anger or pleasure ? Should it Inspire constitutional jealousy mad Warm, or should it be 'relearned is pleasant bucolic news P . There was much in the question. Mr. K. firmer had made the discovery that there were cows in Hyde-park, and he was full of satiety to know by what authority anisuab of that strange sort were in a park, and whether any of the Ranger's °Seers were permitted to have the run of cows free of charge, and If so, whet we the allowance of cows to each man? These iambic. were answered with all gravity by Sir B. Hall. How happy it is for no that we have mem bees who will know all about everything, and who think nothing too small or ineignificant for their inquiring minds. As every Jack has his Jill, so every question has its mover in parliament. Them little things ere indeed great to little men. But after all, why was the mind of Mr. H. Seymer troubled by the presence of cows in Hyde-park f It ought to have been cheered and solaced. How useful and pleasant it la in this metropolis to keep alive by visible evidence the belief in the cow. What would become of our filth in that curious compound which is delivered at our doors mooning and evening if we had not the evidenoe of the exis tence of the cow within easy reach of no f The cows in Hyde park answer a conaerverive purpose. They are conaervittivo of our natural history. The idea of the cow would alto gether pans away VT= the metropolitan mind if it were left to nothing but the production of London milk. In such ease the notion of the cow would sous be that it was a tin pail bound with brew, of a certain figure and capacity, or that it wee a primitive formation of chalk, or that it was a bullock's brain. The current phrase, milk from the cow, indicates the precariousness of our tenure of the animal. We do not say wine from the vineyard, or beer from the brewing-vat. Bat we do my ad& from the cow, because we instinctively feel how necessary it is to keep tip the connection of ides between the milk and the cow. In the civil service ezerninationa, what is milk? should be a standing question, end any scepticism should be combated by reference to the animals to be seen alive and grazing in Hydepuk. It has become a current saying, he knows no more of the matter than a London milk maid knows of a cow. La a French encyclopedia the lobster was described ea a shell•gd of a lively red colour, and if our cite went° take upon thenseelves to give a definition of milk, we apprehend they would not be more suomadul than the French soma with the lobster. . What, that, can be Mr. K. Beymer's qtarrel with the animals in the park which give the London world assurance of a cow, notwithstanding ail the other evi dences tending to prove its non-existeate? The worst oh• jection is that they make a mese here and there, but let us tell Mr. K. Seymer that no mesa they make in the Park is so bad as the muse they do not make in the milk-pails, and foully they are libelled in having the said mew charged to their account. First impressions being always curious and interesting, the first view of the sea, the first view of the Alpe, &c., we should like much to know what a London dairyman would think of the cows risible in the flesh In Hyde-perk! Would be recognise them, or would he be like the herald-painter, who, before he died, bad the curiosity to go to see the lions in the Tower, end flatly denied that they were lion, saying, I ought to know what lions are for I have been painting them ell my life, rampant, coolant, and parsant, and these creatures are not in the least degree like the lions I have ~ In consideration of the eminent service Mr. K. Seymer has rendered in moving this momentous vaccine question, a slight change should be suede in his name, and henceforth he shoed be known by the addition, not of Mr. Her, but of Mr. Cow Seymer. MR. W. H. RUSSELL—This gentleman is now engaged in giving his "Personal Narrative" at Liverpool, where he has achieved great and deserved succor. CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE SHILLING DAY. JrNIE 12.
