Peraima. his retainers to raise dykes and make drains, till ho provoked the jealousy of nethbourr, who alleged that he flooded their lands to dry his own. Then there were feuds and fights, and attempts to destroy the dykes, till some great winter kolas rolled over the country and swamped the occasions of strife, reducing all parties to the same helpless ness against the encroaching sea. Then the mariners and merchants of Lynn rejoiced, because their harbour was deep, and fresh traffic came to their port. As the state of English society changed, and wealthy citizens began to see the bearings and benefits of public works, they asked why the sea should be allowed to play fast and loose with land which had once afforded game to the sports man, and shelter and habitation to the Britons when the Romans were everywhere else. One scheme of embankment aJer another was ap proved by kings, and praised by nobles, and blessed by bishops, and exulted in by adventurous capitalists ; but one day King HErrav VI. heard, amidst other misfortunes, that the sea had washed away all the works. King HENRY VII. heard the same bad news, and sorely the news must have vexed his rapacious souL Queen Euzass-rw's servants had to tell her that the Waah had made a clean sweep of a mass of wealth invested in the soil, or growing out of it ; and JAStES I. re ceived the same bad tidings. Then many citizens said that their fathers had been right when they shook their heads over new speculations. Time after time it had been said that the disaster could never happen again, so well planned were the drains and so firm the dykes ; yet the disaster always had happened again, and it no doubt always would. When men tried to raise Jie fruits of the earth from the domain of the sea, they d - served to be disappointed. It was impious not to accept the rebuke. There are always men, however, who will be sure that disasters are rebukes be fore they will fold their hands and submit Some such men thought the rebuke applied to making dykes cf loose soil, and stopping or turning streams, instead of helping them to flow away ; and in the reign of CHARLES I. there was an Earl of BEDFORD who was of this turn of mind ; and he and some comrades began the great scheme of drainage, by which his name became connected with a vast district of reclaimed land. There was loose earth in the embankments still ; and there was, moreover, a screw loose in society at that time, by which ravage was let loose on the new territory. During the wars in which a certain Huntingdon brewer made himself famous, it was a device against the Royalists to cut the dykes, and spoil what the sea had left of the great Bedford property. But the son of the en terprising earl set to work again, fifteen years after his father's first attempt ; and he persevered till a regular system of preservation was organized, and a corporation invested with the care of the whole project. The different stages of improve ment since CHARLES IL's time have been marked by Acta of Parliament, by which one practicable navigation after another has been secured, and the wide waste has been made the seat of towns, vil 'Agee, and homesteads, of production and traffic, According to the present arrangements, her Majesty, with the royal family sod suite, will leave Bal moral on Tuesday morning, the 3rd proximo, for Windsor Castle, where she will arrive on the following morning to breakfast, soon after eight o'clock. The court will remain at Windsor until Monday, the 16th of June, the day before Ascot races, when her Majesty will take her departure for Osborne, Isle of Wight. Preparations are going forward for the marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Alice. which will take place at Osborne about the latter end of June or early in July, and not, as has been stated, on the 9th of June. The Priam, Alice and her illustrious consort contemplate visiting Switzerland in the autumn. The state apartments at Windsor Castle will be closed to the public after Friday next, and will remain so durisg the time of her Majesty's residence there. PRESENTS FROM HER MAJESTY TO THE ZOO LOGICAL CAROLE'S, REGENT'S PAWL —A short time ago, her Majesty received 12 or 14 beautiful Brahmin bulls and cows, as a present from India. Wishing that our Zoo- logical Gardens should participate in Um gift, Mr. Bartlett was last week directed to proceed to Shaw Farm, in the Home Park at Windsor, and he there selected from the herd a male and female—the former a charming pearly grey, and the latter a creamy white—both very floe animals. Her Majesty also presented a wild sheep of North Africa (female), called the Aoudad, the society being already in possession of a male of the spades.

MONDAY Emmert The note in the Monifeur which accompanies General de Goyon's nomination to the Senate very ingeniously baffles all attempts to draw any satis factory inference from his elevation in regard to the Roman question. That the general's command at Rome is over stands indeed confessed, but thou the reason given for his being "called to resume ser vice near his Majesty's person " is that the reduc tions effected in the army generally necessitate a re-organisation of the corps of occupation of Rome. Not a word here of proximate evacuation, or of any change of policy. The Pays repeats, with more emphasis than before, that the Marquis de Lavalette will not return to Rome, and that the embassy will be confided to a marshal of France. It would, however, be very inconsistent with the implied assertion of the Muniteur that the army of Rome is to be reduced, if it were to be placed under the command of a marshal instead of a general of division, and it must be remembered that the Pays' former statement was that Marshal Niel would unite the functions of ambassador and commander-in-chief. N.BattA! ._.9.W. toW.N.W., --- - The President of Liberia visited the House of Commons yesterday. He occupied a place in the Speaker's gallery, and was present during some of the discussion on the Highways Bill.

The widow of the late Count Pourtales, who was Prussian Minister at Paris, will enter on her duties as pro visional first lady of honour to the Crown Prisons in August nest. In the House of Commons on Friday, Sir De Lacy Evans will move that, in the opinion of this house, no further postponement ought to take place in giving effect to the promises of government, that the command of regiments should be no longer purchasable, and that the promotions to that rank should henceforth be regulated by selection upon the responsibility of the Commander-in- Chief. . _ . listAtux 7 Wrterly, strong to moderate, sboweii, am.. 78. W. to N. W., fret, One of the French writers now in London is pleased to write home to his fellow Parisians that two fea tures of English society are their extensive patronage of favourite preachers of religion and morality, and patent medicines ! "The rich of London, especially the ladies," be says, "are gnat patrons of particular priests of the church of England, who generally write poetry and possess a pleasing address and engaging voice. Whether the na tional churches are not large enough to receive all the Christian congregations of the higher classes I know not ; bat certain it is, the reformed church of England has many private establishments for a select public worship, where the officiating priest is paid well, invited to dine with the nobility, loaded with presents, and made what in England in =lied ' a pet.' He is a religions luxury, in fact, for the rieh only, and preaches, I am told, a polite and fashionable divinity. I have visited one of these places for prayer and devotion, but it had not much the appearance of a church outside, and I could only understand a very little of what the preacher said, se this class of clergy, like artistes of the stage, put on as artificial voice." „ rain In places.

" The preachers relate," it says, " the ►dven tures of the Virgin and of the ►postles with as much detail as Alexander Dumas describes his visit to the Cam:mute For example, they tell in what intim►cy the Virgin and the apostles lived at Jeronimo for six months after the death of Christ, and how Mary decided that it was time for them to separate. Having taken the hearers on a promenade into all the places sanctified by the memory of the passion at Jerusalem, they make them witness the adieus and the shedding of teen, and repeat the very words of each at the moment of separation. Nothing is omitted ; the romance is complete." " •' In spite of all the studied ambiguity attending the act, I think the better opinion is that the terms used in shelving General do Goyon in the Senate , are merely devised for the sake of letting him down easy. The question agitated a few days ago whether he was "recalled," or only "called" from Rome, is at any rate settled. The prevalent feeling is that an important step has now been taken towards the evacuation of Rome. The Bourse has presented no striking feature. Uneasiness on Mexican affairs still continues, and is indeed augmented by the reproduction in the Moniteur of a violent article of the Patric against Spain and General Prim. The Rente, after a slight rise, became very flat, and closed at 70fr. 30c. for cash, and 70fr. 20c. for account, with a rise in the first case of I.oc. and a fall of 10c. in the latter. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c. The Italian Loan rose 30c. In railways there was scarcely any change, and but little business was done. Cease Mires rose sfr., closing at 118 fr. 75c. M. Viennet, the Grand Master of the Free masons of the Scotch rite, openly refuses to submit to Marshal Magnan's decree calling upon all dissident lodges to join the Grand Orient, under his command. M. Viennet will obey nothing less than an order from the Emperor himself. It having been made matter of complaint that the steeplechase prizes given by the government are generally carried off by English horses trained to the sport and mounted by English jockeys, a change has been made in the regulations, with the view, as it is said, of making steeplechases more useful as an encouragement for improving the breed of French horses. After Jan. 1, 1863, stal lions only will be eligible to run in official steeple chases open to horses of all ages and countries. But the Hares committee means especially to patron ise steeplechases for half-bred French geldings and ' mares not less than four nor more than seven years of age. The idea which governs the change --. Secretary Chase says the daily expenses of the war have been exaggerated. He does not estimate the total debt on the lest of July at over 600,000,000 dollars. He has recommended to Coupe's the issuing of 25,000,C30 dollars of demand Treasury notes of denominations under 5 dollars. At New York ou the evening of the 12th an im mense crowd congregated in the space opposite the Fifth Avenue Hotel, to hear the serenade given by the band of the 7th New York Regiment to Mrs. M'Clellan, the wife of the general. The appearance of the lady on the balcony was the signal for a burst of applause that rang through the whole city, and that thundered louder and louder still when some one waved from a window the "star-spangled banner" and a voice from the crowd called out, "Three cheers for that flag !" Nine tremendous cheers were instantly given. Not the least significant part of the evening's display was to call for the famous Abolition tune,— " John Brown's body lies mouldering in the jg rave, " But his soul is marching on. Hallelujah ! The band responded to the call, and elicited new hunts of applause that teemed to drive the people wild with excite matt. ---- The 12th was an exciting day in New York. The churches in the afternoon were almost wholly left to the women and children, while the men swarmed into the hotel lobbies or gathered at the corners of the streets to read and discuss the telegrams in the extra editions of the newspapers. The newsboys kept up a continuous and dis cordant about of " Glorious news !" and drove a prosperous trade from morning till night. The uproar which they created in the proclamation of their wares, especially when they announced the "Destruction of the Merrimac!" interrupted the services in many of the churches ; sad scores of men (the ladies could not well move for shame's sake) slunk from their pews as quietly as they might, and many a sermon cum in consequence to a more sudden close than was originally designed for it. Signors Jessie White Mario will deliver her last lecture is St. James's Hall this evening ; James iltiunteld, Esq., M.P., is the choir. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

The Cork Reporter has an account of a banquet which be. just been given by the chief citizens of that town, under the presidency of the High Sheriff, to Mr. Sheridan Knowles. The veteran dramatist, who is now in his 7Sth year, has been staying at a hydropathic establishment in his native city, and is about returning to Scotland. In a speech, in reply to a toast, he narrated the history of his life, his father's departure from Cork, his settlemen,t in Eng land, the generous kindness of his nes- relative, Richard Brineley Sheridan, his employment as a teacher of elocu tion, his turning his attention to dramatic literature and to the stage. In the course of the evening he sang the Irish melody, " I saw from the Beach," to his ca n accom paniment, with a touching earnestness and feeling that caused general emotion, especially the couplet : Give me back—eve me back the wild freshness of morllng, Her clouds and her Man are worth evenings best light. The Cork Reporter op that Mr. Knowles's language was " full of earnestoes and fire," and that his addres was delivered " with a freshness and fervency quite marvellous to witeess." On Sunday last, a pastoral letter from the pen of Dr. Cullen was read in the Roman catholic churches and chapels in Dublin, in which the rev, gentleman dwells at some length upon the educational question, and contends for the same freedom for hie fellow-countrymen as is afforded to his co-religionists in England. He also advert. to the prevalence of secret societies, points out their evil effects, and strongly discountenances them. VitiTTAVON OF TILE ARCHDEACON OF LONDON.— Yesterday morning the Venerable William Hale Hale, Archdeacon of Loudon, held his annual visitation of that part of the diocese which is under his jurisdiction, in the parish church of St. Sepulchre, Snow-hilL The church. wardens, who have been recently elected by the various parishes, were admitted into their (ACM, and the outgoing churchwardens made their presentment.. Nothing of any importance transpired with regard to the proposed removal of city churches, and it appears from the replies made by the churchwanleos that no definite arrangements have yet been made in reference to any single parish, although in several. negotiations have for some time past been going on. The archdeacon did not deliver a charge to the clergy, as it is the intention of the bishop to hold a visitation of the diocese in the autumn, on which occasion he will deliver • charge to the assemble d clergy in St. Peal's Cathedral.

The twenty-seventh annual general meeting of the proprietors use held at one o'clock, at the office, (Ad Broad-street ; Mr. H. trasoarre is the chair. The fiscarraar (Hr. H. B. Hyde) read the report. The balaseessalsest at the aloft of 1861 exhibits a total of area of above six millions, being the highest figure ever ruched by the bank at the close of any year since eta establishment. The direeters propose that the paid.up capital of the bank shall be further increased from 000,0001. to 600.0001.—by a present allocation of bl. pm shore on 20,000 shares, making together 100,0001.—mA of the =di- Tided profits, after which proposed addition to paidsup capital the rest or undivided profits will be 99,050'.14 6d., and each 501. share will stand as 301. *lap. When the dividend shall be declared next August it is proposed that it shall he at the rata of 8 per scot per annum on the paid. up capital of 600,0001., end that the bonus or extra dive deed shall be 16s. per share. The CHAIRMAN said the report left but little for him to say. He believed the National Bask never steed higher in the estimation of its shareholders or its customers than it did it that eminent. It had second the utmost degree of car Memos both in Ireland end in London. The net of 204,0004 was most satisfactory, especially as a met at the rate of 24 per coat per annum had been divided during the list half. ear, and there was every reason to believe that the board would be enabled in August next not only to pay the increased dividend, but also to add to the reserve fund. Re bank bed yielded 201. 13e. 4d. per mot. per annum in the last three years. He then referred in terms of strong cos. damnation to an anonymous letter which had been en. milated smog the shareholders, characterizing it es a fool and malicious production. The board had, he said, nicly endr.-xvourad to obtain legal proof of the authorship. The author ought, in fairness, to be in the room, and no doubt was there. (Heir, bear.) He then sp. pealed to him to come forward end declare him self to be the author.
