Bea LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 16. caves the logical connexion between the PREMIER'S expensive premises and his " cheap " conclusion. Mr. GREGORY, in his very able and courageous speech, disposed of the PREMIER'S argument by simply pointing out that it consisted in nothing but a series of immense &assumptions. By begging the question whether all this immense space at South Kensington re quires to be covered in at this present date, and to be filled with specimens, and the question whether it is for the public advantage to spend half a million more or less in the next few years on that collection of centipedes known as the Department of Science and Art—is an easy way of disposing of Parliamentary inquiry. Mr. GRE GORY stated, and Mr. GLADSTONE parried, but did not answer the thrust, that this new construction was a renewal of the scheme which all the world of Science except Professor Owerc--and Professor ORIN himself while unconverted—had condemned, for carrying off the natural history collections from the British Museum to Brompton, and separating them from the library without which they were rubbish to the student. The house of Commons has once rejected this scheme ; but under the sign of South Kensington it is destined to conquer. Mr. Gt.snerross exerts all his rhe torical swordplay to convince the House that Mr. Garnosx's apprehensions are purely chimeri cal ; that the Government has no idea of remov ing the "learned bodies" from Burlington-house, or the Geological Museum from Jermyn-street, or the National Gallery from Trafalgar-square, or the National Portrait Gallery from Heaven knows where. But he does not repudiate the intention of removing the natural history collections from Bloomsbury ; and as to the rest, be dwells with sig nificant emphasis on the shifting centres of an expanding city, on the accessibility of South Kensing ton by a "ring of railway communication," which is to bring Brompton or Fulham practically nearer to Stepney or Whitechapel than Holborn or Pio cadilly. He appeals to the testimony of Professor Aosseiz and the example of Massachusetts in favour of double the number of acres that we bestow upon natural history collections ; and he carefully distinguishes present necessities from future requirements. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is far too conscientious a Minister to lead the House too far astray, whatever may be the instructions on his brief, and he certainly did not diminish the reason able apprehensions of the independent minority last night. Nor, when he indignantly opposed the authority of the paid Surveyor of the Go vernment to the free and unpaid opinion of an eminent engineer quoted by Mr. GREGORY, did the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER improve the case of the Building, or remove for a single moment the conviction of minority and majo rity alike that Mr. HUNT'S rough calculations of the cost of putting the Building in permanent order were, to the eventual expenditure in repairs alone, as stone to stucco. Indeed, Lord Psiminntroe, in adjourning the vote for the purchase of the Building to Thursday week, in order to givetime for further consideration, evidently understood, that however willing &working majority might be to throw away the trifle of 120,0001. on an eligible piece of ground, it was on condition that the purchase should be cleared of all encumbrances, and that the place should know Captain Fowisz no more. We think we may without presumption anticipate that the result of further consideration on the part of the Government, the House of Commons, and the public, will be, that the public-spirited contractors will be invited to cart their caravanserai away. IT is a pity the Crown Prince of PRUSSIA was not in the House of Commons last evening. He would have seen how smoothly the wheels of par liamentary government can be made to run along a royal road. He would have seen how harmless is the bark of a Parliament, how innocent its bite, how capacious its swallow. He would have seen how a veteran Premier, strong in popular favour, can turn that favour to uses of which the people know nothing but the cost. He would have seen a more than liberal Minister of Finance employing his wondrous gift of eloquence, and his well-earned reputation as a conscientious economist, to make a huge hobby of mysterious origin look like a national interest, exhibiting all the qualifications of an expert salesman in the fancy goods line, and all the vehement persuasive ness of the conductor of a mock auction. He would have seen a majority of nearly two to one, including past, present, and future placemen of all possible administrations, eager to buy at the cost of their constituents the reputation of a loyalty above their fellows. He would have seen how very small a party even in the British Parliament can be said to have a will of their own under cm :,ain conditions of the moral and social atmosphere that surrounds them. And seeing all this, we cannot but think that the Croa a Prince of Plums would have arrived at the conclusion that it `i worse than folly to quarrel with parliamentaii in stitutions, and that royalism from above is but the infancy of the art. On the purchase of the International Exhibition Building, if not of the site on which it stands, it is notorious that every public man who can be ' called the master of his own convictions, every public journal that can be called a voice, and not the echo of an ante-chamber, disapproves a transaction of which the truth can only be whis pered in a corner. From the beginning to the end " South Kensington" was, and is, and ever will be a mystification. The tenure of the trust estate of the Commissioners of 1851 ; the conditions of that trust; in whom tho beneficial interest resides, or to whom the equitable estate belongs ; to whom and for what the public, through its representa tives, agreed last r;ght to pay 120,0001. for the sixteen acres and a half of land upon which the International Exhibition Building still stands ; all these questions belong to the great "previous" mystification which no Government speaker has yet condescended or attempted to explain. An that the public dimly perceives is a Department of Science and Art, of which Captain Fowire's palace is the Duomo, and a Horticultural cemetery is the Campo Santo. These are the constituent bodies of South Kensington, besides the Brompton schools which have worked such wonders in the taste and workmanship of our domestic furniture, and have invented a completely new set of toast ing-forks, carving-knives, and " The Brompton establishment is another mystification of which we believe it would puzzle Mr. GLAD STONE himself to render a succinct and accurate ac count. But the greatest mystification of all is the process by which the Commission of 1851, the surplus of that Exhibition, and the subscriptions , of the public, have grown like a gourd in the night into an enormous tree, with spread ing branches and innumerable leaves. " Only " a drop of water in the ocean of national expen• " diture," we are told ; but a drop of water that holds all sorts of creeping things. Can we be surprised if even Lord PA LII liBTON was laboured and ineffective in presiding over the mock auc tion last evening ? The thesis was that, as our building land is so deer, and our buildings are so ugly, we should hasten to buy thee° sixteen acres and a half, and the shed that covers them, lest we be tempted by architects and artists to construct something more ambitious in design or in ornament, and lees cheap than Messrs. K ELK and LUCAS'S leavings. Lord PAL. MEESTON laid great stress upon the ex cessive dearness of land in any more central part of London ; besides, a new London is rapidly springing up, of which South Kensington will be the centre, and we must look forward to a distant future, when posterity will thank us for having provided them with a cheap adaptation of brick and stucco instead of a more solid and enduring memorial of the early genius of the Department of Science and Art.

THE ROYAL VIET TO OXFORD.—OXVORD, JUNE 15. —The influx of similare to-day has been very °ponde rable, and hotel accommodation, which was almost absorbed last week is entirely out of the question. Private lodgings, although neeemarily in great demand, are stall to be obtained, as most of the tradesmen in High-street, Broad-street, besides the residents of the suburbs, have thrown open their houses with a view to the couveoienc e of the nume rous visitors. Great preparations are being carried out in the university and city for the reception of the Prince and Princess of Wales who will arrive from Cullum at half past 12 to•morrow. As some misapprehension has arisen as to the admission of bachelors ►nd uodergraduates into the theatre, the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors deans to inform them that it has been decided to admit them, and indeed masters of arts also, by passes only. 850 passes will be issued to undergraduates and bachelor, for each day.

Queen Marie Arnelie received the deputation in the draw ing -room, surrounded by many of the members of the Orleans family, when the following address was read : "To lies MAJESTY TEO QUEEN AMEtli. _ "May it please your Majesty,—The inhabitants of all ranks io the village of Ether desire to express to you end your royal boom their humble and sincere congratulations en the occasion of the marriage of their Royal Highnesses the Due de Chartres and the Princess Francois. of Or leans, and their anxious hopes that the event may prove a blessing to the royal pair, and a constant source of happiness and delight to your Majesty and every member of your family, particularly their Royal Higlnieses the Prince and Princess de Joinville. They gladly seize this opportunity of addressing you, that they may add their heartfelt and grateful thaoks not only for the open band of charity on all occasions to the poor and suffering, but for the unvarying kindness and attentive courtesy to every member of the village, high and low, shown by all your royal family, and they affectionately pray that it may please the God of ns all, rich and poor, to have your Majesty and your family ever ia His holy keeping. "Signed on behalf of all the inhabitants of the village of Faber, in the county of Surrey. " Wm. Gro. Barr; amirman." The Queeo, in a clear voice, but tremulous with emotion, thanked the deputation, and said that, among all her mis fortunes, she felt a great consolation at this expression of feeling on the part of her neighbours, and that the remem brave° of that day would never be awed from her memory. THE EXHIBITION EVILDINOS.—A public meeting to protest spinet thin purchue is called for tomorrow, at two o'clock, at the st. James's-hall, Mr. Bamford Hope to take the chair. Mr. Cave, M.P., chairman of the West India Committee, has received a letter from Jamaica (says the Times) containing a scheme which has caused great interest I in the island for wing rum, instead of spirits of turpentine is the preparation of paint. The present price of turpen•, tine is 10e. a gallon ; that of rum is bend from is. 4d. to 2s. ; but the duty amounts to 10s. 24. in addition, and it is suggested that rum rendered unfit for drinking, either by a mixture of creosote or naphtha, each as is now used in methylating spirits of wine, might be admitted duty free u a desiccant of paint, for which it has been proved by experiment to be well fitted. The revenue would not ',offer, as the spoilt rum would oome into competition with a duty-free article, end considerable relief would be given to the painting trade, which is in many places almost brought to a stand by the high price of turpentiva It is understood • that Mr. Cave has brought the question before the proper authorities, and that it is still under consideration.

The following fact, which we find mentioned in the Polish journals, shows the perfect organisa tion of the system of surveillanoe exercised by the National Government of Warsaw : A few days ego, Y. Enoch, Secretary of State, was in vited to a private party at the residence of the Grand Duke. On that very day a number of prisoners were brought to Warsaw. The Grand Duke asked what was to be done with them, the citadel being filled. H. Enoch replied, _ . "The old most be emit to Siberia, and the young incorpo rated in the army." The conversation took pleas in French, and, with the exception of the Grand Dukes family, no one was present except two aides-de-camp. Two hours after, M. Enoch, on returning home, wee surprised to find a letter from the National Government, in which bia own words were quoted, and threatening him with a halter. PRUSSIA. According to a Berlin letter the departure of the ' King of Prussia for Carlsbad will be delayed a few days, the ministry being desirous that a decision should be previously come to relative to the mea sures rendered necessary by the present situation of the country. All the principal towns of Prus sia are preparing addresses to the King, praying his Majesty to put an end to the deplorable crisis into which the ministry is precipitating the country. BELGIUM. The precise results of the Belgian elections are now known. There were 59 deputies to be named, and of the members going out 31 belonged to the liberal party and 28 to the catholics. The late returns have given 34 to the latter and only 25 to ' the liberals, so that nine votes have been taken from the parliamentary majority of the Rogier ministry. The government party, computing all its forces, could not previously reckon on a majo rity of more than 10 or 12 votes. Hence the situation of the cabinet becomes critical.

Colonel Lapinski's expedition, which was sta tioned for a long time at Malmo, has unsuccessfully eadeavoured to disembark, during a tempest, at Polangen, a village on the Baltic coast, in the government of Wilzig.. The expedition made the passage on board a Danish ship. Twenty-four Frenchmen were drowned in the attempt to disembark. The expedition returned to Gothland on the 14th hurt. PORTUGAL LISBON, Jose 12. The Bing and Queen are residing in the Palace of Ajuda, but leave for Mafra in a few days. The report that cases of measles have appeared at Cintra has induced the court to defer for the present its visit to that favourable summer resort. A motion is before the Cortes for the abolition of capital punishment. The Deputies are discus sing questions connected with the marine depart ment. In the upper house the peers are occupied with the project for the imposts on property.

GueroulesOpinionNationate is the only even ing paper that presumes to offer a criticism upon the Emperor's letter to General Forey, published by the Moniteur. It says : These words breathe a generous sentiment which we have great pleasure in recording ; but it must be confessed, after all, that they do not tell the country what it most desires to know, namely, what are the precise intentions of the government as to the object and duration of the expe dition. The field is left open for all aorta of conjectures ; end the public will continue to ask with anxiety whether the mission of our army is to protect the new government with which it is intended to endow Mexico for some very long time, and whether even we may not exact territorial I compensations. The latter hypothesis does not, indeed, seem to be consistent with the imperial letter ; but one may easily be mistaken when a situation is imper fectly defined, and an article in yesterday's France is calculated to excite apprehensions. M. de la Guerouniere's journal argues that, since the expedition has cost us a great deal of money, we are entitled to ample compensation. It sneers at " platonic " glory as the only recompense for our sacrifices, and demands effective guarantees "for the honour, interest, and influence of France." Bullier's Correspondence says that France will "confine " herself to requiring a territorial and maritime establishment in Mexico ; and that as to the "emotion" which such an arrangement may produce among "certain governments," France will care no more about it than they did about the perils of the euterprise in which she has succeeded, but in which their hope was that she might fail. The same Correspondence says : In spite of the denial of the CoListimionnel, I MR certify that the preparations ordered in the anticipation of large reinforcement' of men and material (more especially the latter) being sent out to Mexico are Mill going oneactively at Toulon and elsewhere, only they will be kept back till detailed report' are received f ram General Forey. General Marey-Monge, one of the newest sena tors, has just died at Bone, in Algeria. It is rumoured that Gen. Bezaine, who, according to the latest news, was marching from Puebla upon the city of Mexico, is to be forthwith made a senator. There is not the slightest doubt that General Forey will shortly be gazetted a marshal of France. ----- The Bourse, after some fluctuations, closed with - - decided firmness.

THE ELECTORAL RIGHTS OF COMPOUND HOUSEHOLDERS. Yesterday a deputation, emanating from the Fist London Parliamentary Reform Association, waited on Sir George Grey, to call his attention to • recant decision disenfranchising compound householders. The deputation was numerous, sod included Mr. Haddeld, kLP., Mx. Baines, M.P., Mr. Lawson, Mr. Washingtoo Wilke, Mr. Twelvetrees, Mr. J. A. Horsier, Mr. John Ford , Mr. Warigtte: Mr. Allan, the Rev. Dawson Burns, Mr. G.J. Holyoake, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Donavon, Ac. The deputation was introduced by Mr. Hadfield, M.P.; and the Home Secretary wee addressed by Mr. Ellis, Mr. Washington Wilke, Mr. J. Noble, Mr. Ford, and others. The speakers pointed out the great hardship indicted on the compound householders whose claims to exercise the franchise, on the condition of paying the composition to the poor rates previously accepted by the pariah, bad been re ]acted. It appeared that a numerous body of householders had in the mat of London served the overseers with notices to be placed upon the rate-book, in order to qualify them selves to be put upon the register, under the provisions of Sir William Gaye act, but the perish, instead of claiming the amount payable under the former composition, chose to charge the applicants at the fuU comment. The right of the trustees to terminate the composition had been affirmed by a bench of magistrates in the case of " Suffern v. The Pariah of Bromley." Such a decision was, in the view of the speakers, opposed to Sir W. Gay's act, and it we. hoped the Home Secretary would introduce a measure rendering the law ea the subject clear, and affirming the right of the compound householders to exercise the franchise when they had paid the composition formerly accepted. Sir Geoircit GREY remarked on the difficulties connected with the question, and said he rather thought the depute. lice ought to have obtained a decision oa the points at issue in the Queen's Bench before it had been submitted to his notice. He begged to nay, however, that he would give the question his beat consideration. WEATHER REPORT. ...(THIS DAY.) TITIZZAT, loin te. 8 a.x. THE OXFORD COMMEMORATION, (THIS DAY.)

The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived here at half-past 12 o'clock, and were received on Mag. dalen.bridge by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of Armagh, the Bishop of London, and the members of the University, in costume.

THE PRIGHTPUL ACCIDENT OR THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY. OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION.—(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner for the eastern division of the comity of Surrey, proceeded, at the Pied Bull Tavern, Streatham Common, with the investi. (ration into the circumstances attending the death of Mn,s Lucy Elise Chasers, and George Bland= and Charles Stone, the two soldiers of the Grenadier Guards, who were killed by the frightful accident which took lace on the London and Brighton Railway near the Streatham station on the evening of Friday, the 2ilth whew a very large number of people were injured. Mr. Faithfull, the solicitor, appeared for the London and Brighton Company, Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Mr. White) attended on behalf of the Grenadier Guards. a number of wham were injured and two killed, and Mr. Burgon tended on behalf of Mrs. Salmon, the widow of the engine driver. Mr. Slight, the secretary of the London and Brighton Company, audit:7ololml Yollend, the government in spector of the railway department of the Board of Trade, who ham made his official inspection of the line, were also preeent. The jury having answered to their names, The Coroner said the jury would remember that the in quiry was adjourned priucipally for the purpose of taking the evidence of the engine-driver and fireman, but the former had died, and the latter was unable to leave the hospital. They would, however, go on with the inquiry as fez as they possibly could. James Walker was the first witness. He said—l live at [Battersea, end em in the service of the London. Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, and have been so for thirteen years. I have only been • guard in the service eaves On Friday, the 29th of May last, I was acting as headguard to the train on that line. It was • paasenger train, ousisting of 16 carriages. I cannot tell you how they were placed, but there were three brakes, and the remainder were first, second, sod third clue carriages. They were brake vans, one of which was next the engine, another In the middle, sod the last at the end. The train formed part of another train which had left Eastbourne, Brighton, and Hastings. The carriages arrived at Croydon at about four minutes past six o'clock. I mean the East Croydon station. Oo the detachment of these carriages, which were the hind pin of the train, the front part proceeded, end the last part—the 16 carriages—. was left behind, and the engine was thee attached to take them on to the Victoria terminus. The engine lam speak. Mg of was numbered 131, and John Salmon was the driver and Edward Tribe was the stoker. I did not den the train at Croydon, bat the bead porter did. His name is Curies Hewitt. I ootioed that we left at eight minutes mat six. It wee an express train from there. and was not to stop at any eta. tion. I did not speak to the driver as to the nature of the transit at starting, or at any time. We were due at the Victoria station at 6.20. We were four minutes behind time in starting. I did not speak to the driver at this time relative to the speed. I did not heir anyone speak to him withard to the loss of time. On the journey something On arriving near the distance signal at Streatham. common I found the engine commenced oscillating, and then the carriages. I was underneath the distance signal when I first felt the oscillation. 1 was looking out of the frost window watching the brake. I was standing up and could see allover the train. I raw the engine oscillate and loom mewed to apply my brake, but before I could get my brake hard on, I found that the engine had left the metals. There was no iodisation as to which side the engine had left the rails. I should say that the distance we had travelled from first feeling the oscillation to where the engine went off the line was about 200 yards. We were running at about 30 codes an hone and a little over when I first felt the oscillation. After the engine had left the rails she turned over, but did not be- come detached, and the carriages stopped. It turned over on the right, on the down line. The carriages then all came into collision, and were on top of each other. They were not all broken up, some of them are now standing on the rails. The Coroner—Did you see the engine - driver! Witness —Yes, I saw him two or three minutes after; he was lying amongst the nine. I was very much hart myself, havieg been thrown out of the Make. He was removed, and I think in a state of insensibility. I did not speak to him, neither did he speak to me. Salmon had driven the same engine from Victoria-station at 5.5 on the Friday evening to Fast Croydon. It was attached to a train which was to go on to Brighton. At East Croydon the engine was detached, and put into the aiding to wait for the other train, the train which met with the soudent We wen 45 minutes between the arrival of the first and the deur tore of the second train, and during that time I did not see Salmon. Ido not know what became of him. I saw him about • minute before we started from Victoria. At that time be was perfectly sober. Upon feeling the oscillation I was looking forward. I had • view of the hue beyond the angine, but I did not observe scything like an obstruction on the line, neither, from what I have since heard, have I any reason to believe that there was anything on the line. The Coroner—Then can you account for the engine leaving the line Witness—No, I cannot. The Coroner—Were you travelling at a greater or a lesser speed at the time of the oscillation ! Witneen—We were not keeping time. We were not travelling so feat as we ought. By the Cormier—There is no communication from one guard to the other. There is • communication from the guards to the driver, but not from guard to guard. Upon feeling the oscillation I did not communicate with the driver. lat once commenced to put on my brake, that being the first and best remedy. 1 could not do the two things at the same time, indeed I was so knocked about I could scarcely do the one. [The inquest was proceeding when our report left. Mr. William Currie, an English gentleman for many years resident at the Villa Currie, on the Lake of Como, has just died at Nice. Hs was a great collector cl books, pictures, cameos, and precious stones, and had one of the flutist collections in Europe. Mr. Carrie has left his books to the Ambrosian Library at Milan.
