PALMEI IS convicted ca the Tuesday—the Derby run for on the Wednes tiay—on this Thursday morning how many thousands Sr. cursing the delusion that has led them to stake their all, aye, and more than their all, on the premi um r•nnoes of that licensed hell when the pals of trainer., the friends of handicappers, sod the confi dante of stables, play with loaded dice against the reckless infatuation of fools and the easy pllitif lily of dupes. The character of the turf has vastly changed of late years. It has felt to the full the levelling tendencies of the time. Whatever it might coos have been, it has long ceased to be an aristocratic inetitutioe. Manchester is the great rival of TATTERSALL'S. On Gay given turf event • thousandfold more mosey changes hands among the betting dubs of the populous North, than smog those more exclusive associations of the metropolis that once arrogated to themselves the undisputed supremacy of the sporting world. To the speculative tendencies of the uneasy classes the turf offers the same arena that the money market dale to the more decorous, but scarcely mere moral gamblers of the Stock Exchange. In both, money is the sordid object—chance, the means of the reckless many—fraud, of the crafty Jew. If anything weld reed a sermon to turf speculators (which nothing of coons ma), it would be the fate of Wausit PALMED. This man possessed every requisite which would, s priori, be deemed necessary to sumacs in the career to which he devoted himself. His salt-command was perfect. His rea diness of resource marvellous. His presence of mind sever for a moment deserted him. In pews= of fax reaching combined= he hoe rarely been surpassed. Is the still more singular gift of making absolute tools of those whom he wished to use, the annals of great.= or of villas, might be searched in vain to lad his peer. In this raped JONATHAN WILD THE GREAT was nothing to him. The hones of FlELD tyro's fiction are distanced by the facts of Pilau's his tory. Cummins, the Postmaster, was his thrall, COOK his Gully, old Dr. BAMPOID his dupe I he was over WAID, the Coroner, by his presents—nay, even in the supreme crisis of his fat•, he has contrived apparently to Fedora a belief in certain quarters that the righteous sestina) just passed upon him is rather the result of popular prejedies than of even-handed Jude,. Aad yet this Booms of the betting-ring—this calm sad cold-blooded schemer who never allowed any osuoideratioas of wrong, or morality, or fear, to stand kw a nomad between his desire and its object —this calculator who had reduced life to a game of hasard—money his only object and crime his familiar isfort means—was singularly a unite as a speculator ma the turf. The insurance on his wife's life—say rather the blood-money received for his wife's mar der—paid of with difficulty the ruing debts of 1861. In 1856, those debt' had again reached the enormous aggregate of from 19,0001. to 20,0001. And yet the dice with which this man played were loaded—the hand that threw them never trembled with coin pusition. He owned hones—he was in with traleers —he was deeply versed in all the scents et the tuft and yet this was the reenit—rein, forgery, murder, and a felon's doom. We utterly disclaim the puerile exaggeration which would recreant even the professional turf man as neossearily a eandidate for ruin or an adept is crime. We know that sothing of the sort is the ewe. But this we do know, that a life whose business is speculation, whether sprat on the doing coarse, or at the gaming table, or in the Stock Exchange, is& life of all others most on dooarable to the healthful development of the moral faeultiee. It is a career in which ocomiosal sauce.' proves nothing beyond the eoppbook trails, that there is no role without its deeption--• ceder in which for one prise there ere a thousand blotto—a eider in which the most brilliant donee is leis en viable than swede in any other field el eater prise--• career in which failure has recently led to such crimes am those by which &num has lately raised a provisos, or that more execrable guilt which, is Nutmeg case, has appalled a world. There it, we lied, souse Need to suppose that the jut verdict by which this unmitigated villain has been pronounced guilty is already giving rise to eriticions which appear to as to proceed on a totally mistaken view of the nature and quality of the evidence required in criminal eases. No man, say thed objector., ought to be found guilty of mur der, diem the cause of death be discovered. The reseconablenessof this objection depends of conneopon the truth or falsehood of the proposition, that in every ease of death the cause of it is diecoverable. Id PALMER'S CIAO the proposition wee the very one upon which the jury had to make up their Wade The presseation averred that stryohnia might be given in such quantities es to destroy human life without the possibility of discovering say traoes of It in the body. The defied denied this. There wee evidence both ways; and the jury had to decide on which side the weight of evident), inclined. They decided, and rightly decided, that the pre pondenting weight of evidence was with the theory advanced by the prosecution. And, fortunate indeed was it that they did so. Had their decision beea the other way, not oely would a great criminal, of whom guilt every one is morally convinced, have escaped his jest doom in deference to as overstrained punctilio, but the very framework of society would have been shaken, and the fearful crime of scientific poisoning been let loose as an un punished scourge in the dwelling-houses of the lend. Ones establish the proposition that you will sever convict of murder by poisoning except where you detect its traces in the body of the victim, and you establish an impunity for all poisoning which is con ducted so scientifically ere to insult that the deadly ingredient shall be absorbed in the system, and thereby elude the operation of all chemical testis: If ever a verdict was justified by the evidence, it was that by which PALMII2 was pronoseoed panty r and we feel confident that any attempt to inter pose between this man and his righteous doom will be, as it ought to be, utterly undocessful. There has been enough, and more than enough, of misdirected sentimentalism already wasted on this man's case. We have no desire to comment harshly on any advocate plied in a position so arduous MI that of the ousel who bad to coded the defence of PALMER. But it would be wrong to withhold the expedition dour opinion that in asserting his solemn deviation of PALMEWA MUM:KAMM MP &Titian Saxe clearly overstepped the recognised duties of an advocate. Lord CAMPBELL, indeed, made a hied of apology for the learned Berjeast by telling the jury that such asseverations on the part of coded Rout nothing mere than the formal plea of net guilty tendered ma matter of course by every primate who, is the language of the law, "pats himself on GOD end his tosatry.• We emus* sue* this apology. The advocate is bound on behalf of his (limn to urge every argument which ingenuity can supply, and to exert to the uttermost every faculty be may poems.; but he is sot bound to degrade his moral nature either by professing a belief he does not feel. or by imposing upon the jury the expression of that belief for more than it is really worth. Another gross offeuee—not so much against the code of pro fessional morality as against the plain precepts of good taste—was the gratuitous introduction to the notice of the jury of that letter of Psalms's to his wife before their 'marriage, which proved nothing except that even each a man could, when it suited him, successfully simulate the language of love, and which irresistibly led the jury to reflect that the woman he so addressed was one whom, on the Coroner's inquest, he had been declared guilty of murdering, and whose reputation, after death, he had remorselessly lied away in the witness-box in order to shift from himself the guilt of those forgeries which it is now on all hands admitted were his own act and deed. But enough of this wretched man and his misdeeds; if the record of his eareer induces any neophyte of the turf to pause en his road to rule— I even his crimes will not have been utterly in vain. ' For any other purpose except that of example it would be better if a career so odious could at once and for ever be buried in oblivion. But it may not be. There are certain criminals whose enormous guilt is destined to an immortality of execration. With this hateful company the remorseless and sor did murderer, WILLIAM PALMMIL is henceforth en rolled. With THorrxu., and Bow, and Gsaste. ACILI, and MANKitto, his branded name will long be gibbeted before the gime of the world—a proverb of infamy, and a landmark of crime. The correspondent who yesterday favoured the Timis, as well all oureelves, with a very elaborate as count of Lord John Russell's intentions, would ap. pear to know more of them than Lord John himself; for his lordship does not, we are assured, contemplate a longer absence from Ragland than that which the parliamentary recess will afford. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1856. THE PEACE REJOICINGS. THIS DAT. In the suburbs of London this awning, business was elated satirely ensosaded, ealy those shops dialog la the neciesseries of lite keeping open. Ia the City end west elide however, by previous smageneet, the dale were genenlly epee for tM drat half of the day. 11esesealas wee dull oral gloomy. but, notwithetanah4 this, thousand; of country people wade their appeeranee by alas se tee e'clork, having owns fret the surrounding listriete principally as too', while tbe eaenreion trains ow ell the ustrepelitiut nilweye broght is imistinsou stream of visitors. The Int greet focus of attention was St. Ifisies'opark, wham at tea cede= as taspeodoa of Howl*ld troops took place spin the parade is frost of the Horse Gourds. Her Majesty, Priam Albert, Priam Frederick Willies' of Prussia, the Duke of Cazabridp, and L.wd Her ding' were peewit, 'tended by a sena, staff of pet rel °Mears. The troops formed to line, presenting anal, while the bands played "Ged IMMO the Quest;" after which the usual evolutions were pas through, sad her Majesty having expressed ►er oath/autism at the Gao sp umonis of her troops, and the mama in which the so:dutiese lad been executed, returned to Backinahms Palace; sad her Illutrlous visitor, accompanied by Priam Albert, then =tore(' the Gems-park and lamest= the pre parations 'kakis. there ter ti a exhibition of fireworks, la the afternoon her Majesty, as is sustamery, held a birthday drawiag-room, but so presestatiome took limos. Hyde-park at ea full hour, permeated= estremely sal mated sppearasoo; thoesasels of perms* locking is at all the gates to view the operations of laths mad peewits the various please intended to Gram la the grand pyroteeksie display of to-night It must have bees @somewhat mou ths to aces who made as early entry, to tad that the park was enveloped Is a mist, not =like that of a sold autumnal monolog; bet, as the day =missed, the vapours roes, sad, the people were easbled to ',Joy the natural beauty of the pleas, perfected by the rates of the last few days, as well as to obtain some Moe of the gigantic display of to sight. Is =did= to the feed pieces, with regard to which rapid progress wee made, stood the countless steads of rockets ready foe firing la lights of twenty and fifty, snoozed wit► torpid= to keep them dry, while hundreds of waggons from Woolwich, similarly protected, were os the grotad, filled to an overflow with pyroterhale projectiles. The Green-park, Victoria-park, and Primrose-hill, each preened a tinglas apparent*, and attracted a numerous concourse of visitors. There are feellop abroad surest timid and nervous people, that many reddest. will rear at the fireworks through the presents of the crowd; hat such ars the pre. sontior takes by the police to give safe ingress and ogres, and so vast is the epees that offers itself for eluding ground, that it seems hardly poribis that there should be any real muse for uneasiness; hare it may he observed that the displays will be better era from a die resis than from the immediate vicinity of the oselosuse, so that so aelessity for pressrun will eniat. The Queen her self will get no nearer view of the napalmed display this that afforded from the windows of the palace; while the densities attached to the royal ',trete*, with their wives and families, will occupy a gallery austreeted sada the palace windows ; and the families of the soldiers in Mil liner Barrer& are provided for by pasties erected is the bursek-yard—a lug way from the seer of display, hat suMeirtly near to lose aces of its sugallamos. As appearances with reseed to the weather ere not par ticularly favourable, warns have been takes to peeper the firework exhibitions should So night be shay, arises having been yesterday primed for that pupas to be herd if aressary. The streets throughout the wining were thronged with people watching the prep:stirs for the Illuminations. Many of the drips were sompleted, bat others were unfinished, and from their state it seemed quite probable thot night would COMO ea before they could be finished. At Somerset hree the design bat ore gigantis sad beautiful, occupy*: a large body of workmen throughout the day manly to roped the lamps. At the National Gallery the desists will be of an equally elaborate description ; but the preparation at two o'clock wore still very backward. At the Admiralty, all was finished except the suspension of a portion of the lamps. At the Horse Guards everything was la a forward wadi tins, so as to enable the spectator to form some flat idea of the extraordinary beauty of the des.p. At the Treasury the Beal preparations were isompleted in good time, and eilsibited an extensive outline of simplicity, combined with harmony In colour and distils. In the City and Strand many private astablishsents exhibited their patriotism and love of peace by the most extensive illuminative preparations is gee and luau, while designs is laurel extend eloog the astir* fronts of may q ' the houses, and flap and banners fly in all direction,. It would pelisses be unfair to ears individual Sitars generally, but it is at the same time Just to menthes that the Electric Telegraph Company, Birk iog waiers's, Drusamond's banking hoar, and other firms to this neighbourhood sum to have vied with sash other in producing something worthy of this great national at.. In Leicester-square the Panoption is well worth a visit, as is also the Great Globe; bat then is nothing else tallies for spacial mention. The while frost of the former will be gorgeous with Chinese hastens ; end the latter will dis play a transparsooy of the earth, which is ss perfect In detail es It is beautiful in gum, design. The Haymarket, judgiag from appearances, will be a ousplete blase or light, as mat of the well known re sorts of this night locality will exhibit either traepareneise or designs in gas or lamps. Not a few of thus—including Butt's—hove (+totally covered their devices so as to shroud them from the eyes of jealous seighboars, wall the hoar for "lighting up" shall arrive. Along Regent-street the preparations are upon a scale which promises to daubs the eyes of all beholden; bat there are two traerpareacies above the rest of the designs whisheAsUenge particular ettention. One b la the Quadrant, and occupies the whole front of a house, and bean the fol lowing motto Esglsnd and Franco gaited, give Hope to Hungary, Unity to Itely, sad Freedom to Poland." The other is Cramer, Beale, and Co.'s, t►a eminent music pub lishers, and russets artistic claims far beyond the ordinary range. Kees by the light of day it bu a very striking so ranee', and conveys an Idea somewhat poetic. It is a painting represenUag the fiats( of the sun from the sea, with two female Stereo iteedlat on the shore, personify. I lag Prance sad England, and swearing friendship over as alter, from which the sassed Home of friendship 'primp ; soldiers and sailors of bath stations standing near, and too aint.h the whole the simple word, " Concord." Varm's auks* no pretensions to absolve* &molly, bot shows a most tramparseey. in the Naha of which are *a words " Viva In Baia, !" A little higher, es the opposite side of the street, there le a most estauive deelp V gar, ocenpying the ostensive front of the ortablishmest knows as Argyll Row. It is a grand emblematical design Is gea, eonsisting of • brillisat mown eseireed by laurel wreath, surmounted by the lags of E &gland, Frame, Sardinia, and Turkey ; sup ported by two stare of Britaswick, and beerlog the motto, Alms, Bola. khya, Iskermase, and Sebastopol." Immediately opposite, at Jay's mourning eitsblielseet, is another estssaive and striking dreign in gee; and the joint effect of the two die ' playa cannot fall to be overpowering to the eye. Atter borough, UM silversmith, hes adopted a somewhat novel coarse, the frost of the hoes• being converted into a tem porary petters, by a profusion of flowers end evergreens gratiefelly intermingled with plaster statues; from the Rabid of which lamps will shoot forth theft rays is varying and brilliant hoes. Messrs. Nicol and o•ho, tredieines in this street also sabibit besstlfal design, and perbspi there limo other street which will offer so mach resod attraction. Waterloo-place will be brilliant, but the drag= err, p uma, speektng, not of a novel character. There will, how ever, be a great blase of light, combined with the advantage of the width of space from which to catch it favourably. Pall-moll, as it always is on inch ocessione, will be as attraction of the first segnitude. The Army and Navy Club his a design of great event, econbiniag stars, =owls, dap, sad laurel wreathe In profusion, the word Pesos" la large letters being below the whole. The Athena.= has a design in gas, bat being undoished it is only safe to say that it will be lees 'labors= than that of its opposite neigh. boar. The Refers, the Travellers', and the Carbon have so devisee, ►et will light up the !eaves. above with their basis' tuck= of ; while the United Service, the Guards', and the University exhibit tasteful and extensive designs. The Origami.

From *se sad of the street to the other there is within new, and wally of the designs acs altogether la egalikeat._ _ _ - Of Ph:meanly the same may be said with more wises modi fication ; there, towever, the tope of the home, facing the Green-park, sr, g Ily eovered with galleries emantand ing a full view of the drewerks. Lord Palmerston inhibits the royal eyphin with a mown sad star ; and the Duke of Wellington a design which deesives to be witnessed. Park-laze has little to induce a visit ; but like Piccadilly, the roof, of its booths bees often bean made available for galleries from which the fireworks in Hydr-park may be viewed. At the Albert Oats, the French Ambassador hos the ini tials N. E. and V. A., and surmounted by a crown, with ' the Imperial eagle above all. In Belgravia there is a plentiful display of stars and crowns, but little to tall for special notice. Baron Roths child, in Grosvenor-plass, has a magnidoent design in so loafed lamps of the Royal initials, surrounded by a broad wreath of laurel in rubies and emeralds ; aad Ltrd Pae stum la Reignite sciusrr, displays on the two front' of his resident)e designs in lamps of stars, crowns, and flogs ; and the Russia' ambassador in Chesham•place, surrounds his house with simple gas jets. The absence of striking designs is this eriatoeretic and wealthy quarter of the metropolis, is very marked, and gave Tile is some rather pointed goer meats la the baldness thoroughfares of Londoa the preparations for Ulaabatir g appear to be pretty general, bat u far as private houses are concerned it ap;eare to hare been taken for granted that display was not looked for. _ _ On the sou.h side of the river in such estabridunents u that of Yuen. Mandalay, and places of public resort, like large taverns, the consumption of gas for illuminative purposes bids fair to be extecsive ; nor are the suburbs without *eft aloud indiutiess of patriotic display. _ . . On the whole, it may safely bs said that, sboald the tight be fine, the iliassinetions sod fireworks together will pre sent a sight of splendour which bas rarely been witnessed, even by by the " oldest inhabitant," sad a by the "new • generation." _ While we write all is expeetatioa and suspense; f.r though may us Arm in the hope that the weather will be pro pitiou, others are u eppnhensive that the elements will be usfavourable, end teed more cr less to mar the beauty of Use sane. The streets are, aeverthelen, occupied with thrergiog multitudes, and the parks are gluing rapidly, thousands of people hatriog some to the spot, with an ample tronsion of creature comforts, to ena►le them to bold out till night, prepared to speed the day beneath the canopy of h , for the sake of Hearing a good place. dace are defog in all direction., sad the bells of None of chetahs" are nagging out their merry peals la honour of the fete.

ORSIN PAIL.—H•re a sufficient precaution has been taken to prevent accident, by fretting via additional entrance, at rooyecient points in the enclosure, of at least 100 feet in width, te facilitate the ingri - ss and egress of the crowd. Two of these additional entrances are on the Pieradilly side; one immediately in front of Devonshirt-hoom, and the other about midway be tween that point and Hyde-park•toraer. Two other, an nob is the lamellate Tidally of the Walling ton scats*; one in front of Apsley-house, and another at the top of Constitution-hill. A fifth occurs at the end of the Mall, oppoeito Buckingham Pelee', and the remaining one at the corner of Buifford.house. Tha Winding, too, which long Piccadilly on the northern side of the enclosure, has been n &bored " up on the park side, throughout its whole length, to enable it to resist the crowd that will doubtless he collected in that pert of Picca dilly. No carriage whatever will be allowed to enter or remain in the Green Park after eight o'clo:k. Sr. JAMIIII . II PAai.—Carriegee basing the entree of St, James'. Park will be admitted as usual until eight o'clock, but not allosied to remain beyond that time. HTD. PARK —The approaches for foot passengers remain without alteration here, except on the north side, where 1 wide openings have been made in the enclosure along the Bayswater-road ; in other parts of Hyde Park, additional entrances do not seem to be so Itteetillf7-1110t, on account of the vastly great , r extent of the enclosure, which precludes the apprehension of any serious pressure, and also becomes the existing outlets, especially into Park lane and on 'the Knightsbridge side, are already sufficiently numerous. For carnage., then is to be only one entrance to Hyde Park, namely, the Vic toria Gate, from Piccadilly ; and no carrione will be allowed to enter after eight o'clock. The carriages which remain in the park after that hour, must not psis or remain in any pert of the :out which is between Apeley Hoots gates, on the Piccadilly side, and the Marble Arch on the north side. Private carriages only may stand, but so as not to cause any obstruction, on the road in Hyde park which is between the Marble Arch and Kensington gardens ; they may also stead on the road along Lensing ton-gardens, aed on the road along the Serpentine. VICTORIA PARR —The display of fireworks in Victoria peek, which will be moot aecusible to a greet part of the middle clue and working alias population of the eutern district' of the metropolis, is to be exactly the same as that which has bean provided fcr the Oreen•park and Hyde park. PRIIIIOBK-HILL.—The fireworks to be exhibited here are materially different in their charmer from those in the three parks, although we are ■ot aware that, upon the whole, trey cfier superior attraztions ; it rather seems that care has bee. taken to equalise, a. much as poerible, the pleasures whieb are Truckled G r those resorting to each of the four plaom—since the distance of these different localities from each other, sad the fret that the exhibition will be simultaneous in all of them, forbid the notion of any spectators being able to pass from one park to another, and to enjoy what is offered in each. The firework, sent up from Primroee•hill, however, consisting almost entirely of swill pieces, which include the celebrated " parachute shell," will probably he visible enough throughout the northern and western parts of London, wherever a tclersbly clear view in that direction era be obtained; the elevated site, and come partitively unencumbered neighbourhood, of Primrose•hill, being taken into seeount. THE STREETS. The notification by the ChM Constniasioaem of Polio., given elsewhere, prescribes the several polies regulations of the 'venial'. Special regulations for several main thorough fares have been promulgated by the fame authority. PICCADILLY.—NO carriage will be allowed to pars along that part of Piccadilly west of Berkeley-street, alter eight o'clock, until the fireworks are concluded, unlit' it eontaio company goiog to some house in Piccadilly or in one of the neighbouring streets ; and no carriage, after eight o'clock, will be allowed to remain in that part of Piccadilly, on any yr, tones whatever. PAIL LAN I.—No carriage may remain in Park•lans after eight o'clock, nor may any carriage, which does not contain company on their way to the houses in Park-lane or housed in the neighbourhood, pass through Park•lane after that hour, until the eahibitios is over. The Tomes observes that if the gas companies do their dal, we shall to-night •oe a city that the Olympian gots might inhabit and walk to and fro in. " The reality, shot must go out betore morn; but till then we can gaze and gene to our hearts' content, and impress our memory with sh els ling vistas of suns and stars, sod laurel wreathe, and 'V. and crown., and heraldic clev.wei, and those familiar gOrlall in which the London artist finds fall sells fiction. We shall bask in • light of nior own this night. We ask the tolei Asa, not the favour of the skies. If they but lines us alone, and send no envious drizzly to spoil our sport, we shell bays light enough without them for cne." Bat, from the spectacle to the spectators. This will be a night of trial to oar much-abused country in general, and L indon in particular. 84etety will be reduced too its simplest form, for government, with a strong faith in tt e native vireo s of the Englishman and in just requital of our common merits. has this time 00 reserved places for • ticket aristicracy. We shall be • democracy tc-night. " Have Englishmen, then (c ntinnes the Tomes), that love of order, that mutual respect, that deference to the weak, that molesty, that will dispense with palisades and with constables ? Thant will not be the least excuse for pushing, as at every one of the foul places where the fireworks are to ha exhibited there be room for the whole of the epees:ow, even if the whole estimated million p•rvcrsely c h o ose to select the same locality. It p ogle, however, are reasonable, and go ti the park t to them —the most obvious course, when, with one tamps :ion, the fireworks will be the same at the four places—. ihey wilt have room not only to stand bed see, but ales to move about freely. It is possible, however, that here and there, owing to the peculiarity of the ground or of the op proeches, there may be • little crowding, so • word of ad vice. never push. It is a cationel stigma in the months of ferrign.re that an Englishman in • crowd is sure to push. It only packs • crowd closer, and disables it from motion. When a strong man pushes in a crowd, the pietism he creates acks to the misery of eime poor woman or child. The openings well be all wide enough for any multitude. Again, never rue. This is the Gills f Englishwomen. Though re oily 'sough tii go into • crowd, as scion as it looks large, or dense, or in motion, cr et the slightest unusual sound, • won so is spt to scream and to run Of course, see is then ant to fall, and get run over; while holf-e-down peor'e, standing or walking quietly together, an mist el divert the most violent me venientsaroued them • • • Theta will be some needy pick' ockets among us; and time, too, may break window, and attempt to get up • disturbance, as a trick of trade. Let everybody, thsrefrre, with a god pair of legs and arms, do hi. host to •t prebend the first fellow he sees at this work, and to sadist the police in doing so. There is •soteer danger. During the ezhibi tion of the fire works nor houses wit, of curse, be left comparatively unguarded. Y•t nobody would deprive servant of his •hen in the night's rmonments.

By the esmmoo laws of chance there must be some wet dents, and en: n 109 e disorder, sad we are telling people bow sot to make bad w wee" Orders were last night received by Captain Q.
