1{ THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Nothing can be more gratifying to the friends of national progress, popular enlightenment, and innocent amusement, than the rapidity with which our great Exhibition is warming rip into complete and vigorous vitality under improved management, and through the adoption of a few simple remedial measures which, until within the last few days, were obvious to every person who strolled through the building, except those who were mainly respon sible for their adoption. The visitor who sat under the eastern dome on Saturday last, and looked down the now almost cleared and noble nave, skirted with fine statues or other objects of high art, and interspersed with hothouse greenery, could scarcely recognise in the magnificent vista, thickly dotted with a brilliant crowd of delighted pro menaders, the same space which some three weeks since reminded him in one spot of a chandler's shop, in another of au ironmonger's store, and everywhere of chime, confusion, bad taste, disorder, and total want of the power of arrangement. It is true that a great deal still remains tobe done, and we speak in sinoerecommendation of what has been done as an encouragement to f uture efforts ; for, notwithstanding the marvellous progress that has been made within the last few days, it will require all the exertions of the promoters of this great undertaking, assisted by the talent which they have recently called to their aid, to win the race from inexorable time, and to secure that great and true English test of ultimate success the balance sheet. The Canadian peep-show still rears its unsightly head in defiance of the beautiful stained glass win dow, which like "many a flower" remains "doomed to blush unseen," its architects being so much in love with their bandywork as to remain deaf to all the solicitations of Mr. Cole. Still nearer to the central platform, Tasmania, reminiscent of its former position as a penal colony, has erected what looks like a lofty gibbet, perhaps as an evidence of its right to be called a civilized community • and the result of these two eyesores being allowed to remain is, that the transept in which they stand is completely spoiled and thrown away, for nobody thinks of venturing down into what reminds them of a waterside timber yard, to look at the many really interesting objects which have been sent over, both horn America and Australia. Nova Scotia has a moat attractive court, but it re mains a desert, and there are scores of objects from Australia which people would run to and admire ; but what with the fear of being overwhelmed by the great timber piles from above, and of breaking their shins amongst the logs, stumps, and battens below, they give the quarter a wide berth, and our colonists have, in consequence, to complain of as much neglect in the International Exhibition as ever they experienced iu the imperial parliament. In the nave, also, some of the original squatters still continue obdu rate. Mr. Nicolay's menagerie, like the London Tavern, "staring o'er the way," protrudes its two savage tigers into the very centre of the pro menade, ready to devour any unlucky visitor who should dare to whisper a word against the supe riority of " trophies" over all other modes of central decoration. We shall be obliged to find a new explanation of the word in the next edition of the dictionary. The mind which suggested " tro phies" as a means of ornamenting the Exhibition building never intended that the word should mean candle-boxes, or fur-shops, or coach-stands, or heaps of ironmongery. The ancients carried their trophies in their triumphal processions, and piled them at the termination of the march, and there would not be the slightest objection to form ing a procession for the trophy-holders of the nave, in which they might march down the centre, bear ing their precious wares aloft, and to appropriate music—the Dutch concert, for example—and pile them anywhere they liked beyond the boundaries of the building. The first sensation experienced on entering the building on Saturday was one of exquisite pleasure at finding the great Majolica Fountain, the triumph and ne plus ultra of the potter's art, at last a com pleted work, shooting its diamond spray up to wards the crystal roof, and diffusing coolness, the sweet monotonous music of falling water, and a dreamy sense of beauty in every direction. First, the sound caught and pleased the ear, then the sparkle of the water delighted the eye, and, finally, as we approached the edge of the basin, the noble design, the gay but well chosen colours, and the happy appropriateness of the figures, extorted un qualified admiration. Lowest down on the fountain a cordon of lusty Tritons spurted bold jets from grotesque shells ; next above them a bright circle of water nymphs supported between every two a rosy lttfle cherub, who poured down a silver thread, and at the pinnacle a noble figure of St. George trampled on and fought with a terrific dragon, the strife creating such a shower of glistening spray as wrapped the whole tableau in a bare which the descending sunbeam tinted like a rainbow. Every one felt, and thousands uttered the word "success", and the Majolica Fountain was at once installed as one of the chief "lions" of the Exhibition. On the western platform, Herr Pauer, more faithful to his appointment than other players of far leas eminence, entertained a crowded and fashionable audience with some masterly piano forte music. It is needless to say that the per former WWI loudly applauded, but the pleasure of the listeners would have been very much enhanced if' care had been taken to keep order within a reasonable radius of the instrument. This, how ever, was not done, as almost immediately above the player's head a vigorous hammering was sus tained, and close at hie side, the turnstiles kept up an unceasing " click, click." This latter, of course, could not be helped, and the only remedy will be to remove the piano next time further from the entrance. It is not improbablealso but that the great novelty of hearing these now celebrated pieces of mechanism going with anything like regularity may have been as pleasing as the music to some of the spectators ; but surely the hammering might have been suspended for half an hour, as also a series of miniatureShoeburynees experiments, which were performed with a formidable battery of ginger beer bottles, close to the professor'. ear, all the time Le was playing. A cork went off with a tremendous report iu the middle of one of his most delicate pianissimos, and evidently startled even his well disciplined nerves. Some arrangement and orga nisation respecting the musical displays are amongst the first details that must be attended to, and they are matters in which the exhibitors themselves should give their heartiest co-operation, seeing that they are the must interested in procuring for their instruments a fair hearing. One fact is, it is said, worth a thousand arguments ; and it is a fact that one of the first results of the piano experiments of Saturday week, and their subsequent mention in the papers, was that on Monday a purchaser was found to pay 250 guineas for Collard's "grand," which had been one of the imstrumentspleyed on. Nothing would be easier than to arrange a programme for each day, which might be advertised in the papers, and posted in conspicuous parts of the build ing. Everyone should get hie fair turn, and it should be the care of each exhibitor to secure the services of a competent performer. In this way, the public would be attracted, and would be made acquainted with the merits of each maker ; in addition to which, a most favourable opportunity would be afforded for bringing out a mine of young professional talent which is now withering iu the cold shade of the musical aristocracy. The latest work published in connexion with the International Exlubition is a " Popular Guide," compiled and written by Mr. Edward M'Dermott, and which will be found exceedingly useful to those whose time or means will permit of only one or two visits. It is published by Messrs. W. H. Smith and Son, of the Strand, and sold at the ex ceedingly moderate price of one shilling. The number of visitors admitted on Saturday was as follows :--Season tickets, 10,176 ; on payment of 65., 5,278 ; total, 15,04.

There is nothing that astonishes and charms the foreigner so much as this superb creation of modern enterprise—a pekoe which furnishes to rich and poor a continual feast of sight and wend which ministers to all tastes, however simple or refined ; which is an academy, and • pictured history of all the arts, a gymnasium, a garden, an enchanting Announce. We have beard many Frenchmen say t h at to behold the Palace of Crystal was worth a week's exile from the beloved Bou levards. Nothing but familiarity shuts English eyes to the fact that one of the wonders of the world is within half an hour's ride from London-bridge. On no =aloe has the Palace which we owe to the gash' s of a Patton and IM Owen Jones, looked move dazzlingly beautiful than on Saturday lest, when the first pest Flower Show of the season drew some fourteen thoussod delighted visitors. All the omens were propitious. An English summer's day ; sot too bright or too sultry, but set fair, and with • misty veil over the green soft distance, which made the Palace sad its gardens look like an immense diamond surrounded with emeralds. It was one of those days when every hour towards the evening the atmosphere becomes more tender and more transparent. Early in the morning the judges of the show were busily elapsed in making their swards, and then, from 11 o'clock till four, • rapid succeesion of long crowded trains from London-bridge and Vic toria stations poured into the Palace terminus. At twelve o'clock the doors were open to the public, and presently, for those who came expressly to see the flowers and the fountains, and to hair the orchestral and military concerts, began • series of performances on the organ, by the military band, by the Palace orchestra, in terrupted only by the playing of the Great Fountains. We have sever seen so vast a multitude so thoroughly end unreservedly gratified. The Crystal Ps/ace bids fair to Weems as proverbially lucky in its Flower Show weather as the Botanic Gardens are usually unfortunate, and the Crystal Palace is, so far as the show itself is concerned, independent of all chances or changes of weather. In the transept and nave fourteen thousand people can lounge about literally " at large," and, under a velarlum which would not have disgraced • Roman amphitheatre, • population that would astonish a German duchy can make as good weather as it likes. On Saturday, two lines of spectators kept moving up and down the double bank of flowers in • continuous stream. The gigantic Handel orchestra, now completely roofed in, had • most imposing appearance, crowded as it was on both rides from the roof to the lowest nat. At the corners of the transept and the naves ism.= bunches of ashes threw a flush of warmth end *alma ewer the dreams of the ladies, who seemed to vie with the aid in delicate brilliancy and lavish variety of tints. flare was a show of English bemoan in the employ enough W drive the speckles continental proselyte to despair. Bet to speak of the flower,. A finer collection at orchids, makes, pelargoniums, cinsrarias, calosolariw, and heaths bee seldom, if ever, been exhibited. The roses, too, though it was sot their day, were most remarkable for fulness of blossom and variety ; several entirely new specimens made their appearance under pleasant or popular names • and it I I would be difficult to illustrate the triumphs of hor ticulture to greater advantage. The music, which is always • power ful attraction on Saturdays, was on this occasion of quite an exceptional character. Indeed, under the able and vigorous auspices of Mr. Manna, the leader of the orchestra, the Crystal Palace is acquiring classical distinction by its con certs. Early in the afternoon the band of the Coldstream Guards played (among other pieces) with admirable spirit and effect Auber's International Inauguration March. Later, the orchestral bend, coneiderahly reinforced, played Meyerbeer's International Overture, and (for the second tints) the March composed for the coronation of the King of Presets. These striking compositions, of which we have already ma. dared account to our readers, were on this occa sion played to perfection. Perhaps, however, both the overture and the march (especially the former) are heard to more advantage in • theatre or couoert-room, as the scores are written with all the illustrious composer's elaboration of design. Still, such are the power and affluence of the instrumentation, that the grandeur of the harmonica and the richness of the combinations lost none of their power in that colossal wile on Saturday. The most telling of all the pieces, however, was decidedly the sublime prayer from Rossini's Mose in Epitto, given by the full orchestra and the great organ. This was rap turously re-demanded. After the concert the audience dis persed themselves over the Palace and the gardens, and an exclamation we heard more than once during the day was, What • pity the Great Exhibi tion is not bore ! " There would, no doubt, be much to say for and against this idea. At all events, it was uni versally expressed on Saturday. We subjoin • list of the first prises for flowering plants and fruits. Of the latter the grapes and strawberries were noticeable ; the rest was comparatively insignificant. On the whole, we may con gratulate the Directors of the Crystal Paws on • day which was throughout sad in every respect most happy and successful. MUSIC. HER YAIRSTrf3 THEATRE. On Saturday evening the Barldere di Sitiglia was followed by the Cantata written by Verdi for the opening of the International Exhibition, and now performed for the Ent time. The public ere already aware of the circumstances which led to the compositionof thiawork, andof the fact that when the score was delivered to the commissioners it we returned by them to the composer. Without reverting to the CM.. I troversy caused by the rejection of a work by one of the greatest musicians of the age—a musician, too, who had been chosen to represent his country at our great inter national festival—we may express our regret that the re jection took place, as the work has been proved to be well worthy of the occasion for which it was designed. It is a short dramatic poem. The scene is the interior of the International Exhibition on the inauguration day; and the people of all nations assembled within the walls of the palace express the feelings excited by the solemnity. Hence the piece naturally takes the musical form of • solo for • single voice—one of the people--accompanied by • chorus of the whole multitude. In composing the work, Verdi bad destined the solo pert for Tamberlik, whose power ful and penetrating voice was eminently calculated for such an occasion. In preparingit for performance at Her Majesty's Theatre this pert was assigned to Mdlle. Thiene, the com poser making the changes necessary for its adaptation to her voice. The work suffered nothing by this arrangement, for no voice surpasses in power or quality that of the illustrious prima door of Hex Majesty's Theatre ; ad the voice of "ens of the people" might be that of • man or • woman with equal dramatic propriety. The words are Italian. The author's name is not given, though it deserved mention, as the sentiments appropriate to the occasion are expressed in animated sod poetical diction. The tone of thought has • considerable resemblance to that of our Poet laureate's Ode--a coincidence quite natural, and to be expected. The circumstance of the words being Italian could form no objection to the performance of this Cantata on the occasion for which it was signed ; for whatever may have been the case in the days of Addison and the Spectator, music with Italian words, sung to an English audience, is no longer an absurdity. The words with their Freida version would have been in the hands of the public, and nobody could have been at aloes to understand the meaning of what he heard. The Cantata opens with a " Chorus of the People ;" • hymn of praise and thanksgiving, broad, simple, and jubi lant—admirably exprering the devotion of a great multi tude 'rambled on such an occasion. Then, as in the Greek tragedy, • single person takes up the strain, giving utterance to the sentiments of the whole assemblage, inspired by the magnificent spectacle around them. " lipettrolo sublime !" exclaims the speaker: but we shall quote • few lines of the English version, which, though somewhat prosaic, gives en idea of the tone of the poem— "O vision most enchanting! from all climes, Where sheds the San his ardent, fiery beams, Where snows eternal cover hill and plain, Have daring crowds the mighty ocean keel— The tempest battled, in • fragile bark, And hasten'd to this shore, where is uptesr'd • Temple to the World, The varied works of man therein to show — What Earth affords most useful and most rare." This bright vision is contrasted with the scenes— " When war and devastation Were spread abroad—when nought was heard, But the dread cannon's roar, and din of arms." " Bat," says the speaksa, after dwelling for a Ms an this picture of human strife— " A change bath come ! the darksome clouds are gone, The rage of man is past ; like loving brothers, Within the lofty floe, all meet in peace : To Heaven, all-gracious, let our prayers Arend !" The choral prayer which follows, for peace and brother hood over the whole earth, is soft, solemn, and fall of pro fessed feeling. The finale is a movement partly solo and partly choral. The following is the conclusion : Hail to England ! mistress of the sea ! The ancient, blest abode of liberty ! Hail to France! our faithful, brave ally! And thou, beloved Italy! my land, For whom I pray, may Heaven tby struggles aid! Hail ! hail ! to all who bear us friendly love ! These words, delivered by the solo voice, as representing an Italian among the multitude, are blended with choral passages, in which the national hymns of England. France, and Italy are introduced with great ingenuity and effect and the work is thus brought to a brilliant termination. This Cantata does high honour to its illustrious author It is inspired, not only with the genius of the artist, bu t with the spirit of the man. Verdi lives in the hassle of hi s countrymen, both as their greatest musician and es an ardent and distinguished patriot, in which character he sup ports the cause of unity and freedom in the Parliament of Italy. It was performed with great effect When the curtain rose the stage had a striking aspect. It was to its utmost depth covered with people. In the front stood Titian', supported on either aide by the most eminent members of the company, including Trebelli, Lemaire, Giuglini Armand', Bettini, he., and behind them was the great hod; of the chorus, two hundred and fifty Wong. Titiens was magnificent ; we never were more deeply impressed with the power of her incomparable voice ; in its accents of fire and energy it rang through the theatre like the sound of a trumpet, while it was clear and distinct even in its softest tones. In this respect Titian. reminds ns of Clara Norello at the Sydenham Handel festivals, when her "Sing unto the Lord, for He bath triumphed gloriously !" bad a greater effect than all the thunder of the chorus. Mdlle. Titiens' noble and dignified presence, her intelligent reading of the music. and her varied a:premien, by turns grand and pathetic, completed the effect produced by her voice ; and we have seldom observed a vocal performance make a more evident impression on an audience. The chorus and orchestra, con ducted by Signor Arditi, acquitted themselves ably and satisfactorily. The reception of the performance was enthusisatie. When it concluded Signor Verdi was called for—not once only, but several times, and when he presented himself, at one time ' led forward by Miens, and at another by Giuglini, he was greeted with acclamations reiterated and prolonged for several minutes. TeeTaexcs '.-90 Friday Mr. Penuethorue, the architect, wee examioed by the ermsmittee,_ca behalf the crown lama, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Braman, and others, the occupiers of bares and lands ioWhitehalligardens and Richmond-place, abutting ea the route of the prepared embankment, and which they allege will interfere with their hitherto free access to the river, deprive them of their privacy, and be a nuisance to the neighbourhood without any Ce iog public advantage. No embankment was needed the Westminster-bridge traffic, which they con tend will be sufficiently accommodated by the new street into Whitehall opposite the Hone Guards, and any public road along the embankment between their residences and the river, would at its junction fat Westminster-bridge with the road over that bridge, be productive of danger to the public from the collision that would be oceaatoord in the traffic. An Alternative road might be devised that would not inter fere with their residential interests. The Duke of Buc cleuch was examined in support of the allegations against the emtankumut as affecting his property reported yester day, and Hon. C. Gore upon the question generally. Mr. 'Ate, M.P., gave evidence in favour of the embankment, and was of opinion that the Metropolitan Board of Works were perfectly competent to carry out its construction, having to deal with works of equal magnitude. The question was mainly one of money and ha bad to suggest, as Presi dent of the Institute of British Architects, that architec tural features and arraogemeata might be combined with the embankment, that would greatly conduce to its beauty and usefulness as a natiocal work.

On Saturday morning, at a quarter-pmt four o'clock, the roadways sad tramways of the new Westmin ster-bridge were opened for traffic. This early hour for the opening was selected as it was the hour of the birth of her Majesty, on the 24th of May, 1819, at Kensington. A salute of 25 gnus was fired at the same time, corresponding with the number of years which her Majesty has reigned. The plan which hes been adopted of building the bridge by halves necessitated the use of the footways in the first in stance for the light traffic, and a few days will elapse before the footways are laid. As Mr. Cowper bad promised that the bridge should be opened in May, Mr. Page, the engineer, exerted himself to the utmost to have everything ready for the traffic, and it was very ap. propriately decided that, as far as possible, this should be ' completed by the Qoesn's birthday. But for the lamented death of the Prince Consort her Majesty would have her self been present at the open* of the mew bridge. The new bridge is very nearly Wen as wide as any of the bridges over the Thames. Within the parapets it is 84 feet 2 inches wide. Of this the footways occupy 28 feet, the road for the light traffic 39 feet, the tramways 14 feet 8 inches, and the space between them 2 feet 6 inches. The tramways consist of iron plates. bolted to timbers, and laid upon an *Annie bed of cork and bitumen. The curb of the footway is formed of ROY of Mull granite ; the footway itself is of Blashfield's terra Gotta. It inclines towards the parapet with a fall of 14 inch, and a gutter on each side carries off the water. The value of this material for paving purposes may be estimated by the fact that when rubbed with sand and water against Yorkshire @toile the stone lost twice as much as the terracotta. The pavement is laid in diamonds, and it has a very pluming effect The bridge consists of seven arches, and has been already fully described in our columns. It was commenced in May, 1854, and the works continued in progress to March, 1856, when they were interrupted by the failure of the contractors. A further delay of about two years took place, in which parliament discussed over and over again the question of proceeding with the bridge upon the present site, and it was not till about the middle of 1859 that Mr. Page was enabled to vigorously with the work. This is the fourth = I which that engineer has constructed over the Thames, and the work is one which reflects the highest credit upon his good taste as an artist, and his practical ex perience as an engineer.

DWI" l SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE MEETING AT BATH. TO THE EDITOR OF THS EIFILEsn. Sig,—The racing at York, Mahon, and Salis bury has tended to condom the result of the Chester Cup, surprising as it may have been to many ; and the per. formsnoes of The Wizard and Cape Flyaway show there was little mistake in the Two Thousand. Doak ran • good hone at Salisbury, where some promising two-year•olds made their first appearances, and some heavy betting took place there on the Derby, the money being so plentiful to invest on the new favourite, Narrow (a dark colt by Lamb ton out of Nash that had 'been favourably tried with Wingrave), Spite, and Star of the West, that they should all become pretty rood favourites, as there is plenty of room for them in the front rank. How ever, there may be some extraordinary revelations at Bath, where all the talent would congregate on Tuesday aid Wednesday next to witness the last knockinmi out and in, even if the programme were not attractive enough in itself. Many Derby candidate* are espied at the meeting, and at the entries for the eleven events already Mimed, to be shoat the best ever brought off es the erne. The Trial Stakes, one mile, cau bout of fifteen subs., and aniong them Birdhill (3 yrs, 7st), Star of the West (3 yrs, 7st 31b), Gemara Hem (3 yrs, 9st), Voltella (4 yre, Set bib), and Coinneror (4 yn, fist bat bring • claiming race, the Sear will hardly and Bkdhill did such • good thing at Salisbury, that the show,nke of Beaufort may not like to lose him for 4001.

The Tenth Biennial, for thrairyrolds, one mils and a half, ought to afford • good Derby trial, and the meeting of Tonna° and The Knave will be quite an event for the respective backers of Mr. Merry sad Mr. Parr. Ethel ran but moderately in the One Thousand, and neither Ellangowan nor Gems having been out yet this year, the rase may be left to the two named, of which Tolnroo hen a 31b allowance, quite sufficient, in my opinim, to entitle him to the preference over the distance. Star of the West has another engagement in the Keine* Stakes, and this be may pass over, client* his 6lb allowance (as it is not worth 1001.), when it would be a good ram between the Dwain oat, Bo hernia, and Royal Stag, the latter being in receipt of bib from the:other two.

The rally in the Ilverpuol coitus market early in the week caused some extra business here, but spinners were not able to get en advance on yarns to corer the entire rise hi the raw material, though they were able to improve their position a little by reducing stocks. The prices of yarns, such as are required by the Blackburn maimfacturers, and of doubled yarns are rather better than last week, and we close with much steadiness in some other descrip tions of twist, but the market has resumed the quiet, thuggish aspect it bad before, and @planers are making but few sales. In cloth there is quite as much inactivity as at the close of last week, and the advance of prices which sellers have attempted to obtain entirely stops Walrus'. In some instaiwxa manufacturers are again rather disposed to rem sales, and in these caws buyers are able to operate quite as advantageously as they could nice or ten days sines. The chief business during the week hes been in shirtings for India, but these cloths are now attracting but little at tention. In printers and domestics sales are very limited.

HAEDWAKE.—B3rianou•ii, MAT 24.—The trade of this town continues dull ; sense breeches there are in dications of de ' Much of this quietude is to be attributed to the scanty supply ol ooden received through the factors, whose travellers are seeding home, in some instance 4 ourhalf, and, on se average, act more than two-thirds of what is nsually received at this season. This stagnation is not eoalleed to any ',alkali: locality, both general io far as regards the hem bred% theeowntry iron mongers and other shopkeepers having evidently a great disinclination to lay in Meeks meek heyoud immediate se quireueuts. The metal trades are all doll, and there are • considerable number of unskilled workmen out of OW ployment. The merchants' orders are rather small ; the 4seith and Levant trade keeps up, but in other =te the coatinental trade is dill. A few frisk have just been given out for some of the South American markets ; but with the Brasil there is nothing whatever doing. In the various branches of trade outied on in the adjoinining district then is rather men activit ; but at best, manufacturers have not many order@ The nailmakers base most of them returned to work, but there is still • good deal of surplus labour un employed. The iron trade in this district is rather better makers of best brands of sheet iron are able to keep the mills in full operation, and for angle iron there is • fair inquiry .

Morgan I and Scott, of Bishopegate-etreet. The prisoners went into the shop to look at some shawls, and contrived to conceal, under their ample cloaks and crinolines, the whole of the above property. When accused of the theft the things were dropped from their draws. The prisoners implored his wor ship to deal with them summarily, but he said it wee too serious an offence for that, and committed them to Newgate for trial. They were removed shrieking from the bar. GUILDHALL. Margaret Long, who has been some time in the West London Union, and whose children are at the Heiman School, was charged with deserting her children. Beckett, the relieving officer, said that a van was hired on the preceding day for the purpose of taking the female paupers of the union to see their children at the schools at }Unwell. Witness bad charge of the women to prevent them from getting drunk. When begot beck, however the prisoner was missing, and she did not return till about three boors after. He then gave her into custody for deserting her childrea. Alderman Copeland expressed his astonishment at the woman being given into custody under such circumstance% and asked if she was locked up. She stated that she had been locked into the cell, and kept there all night. , The magistrate aid this was most shameful and disgrace ' ful, and the conduct of Beckett should be properly repro ' anted to the Poor-law Board. • The charge was dismissed at once. Owen WCarthy (in the them of the Tower Hamlets Militia) was charged with violently assaulting Hiss itey, • bonnet maker, and also with assaulting Fred.lFakefield. The prosecutor was returning home from • friend's bogie, about one o'clock in the morning, when she was mended by the prisoner, who was drunk. She pushed him sway, and he then ber me very violent, and streak her several severe blows on the face, which caused her nom to bleed, and otherwise injured her. The young man Frederick Wake field interfered in her behalf, when the prisoner also struck him two blows. Hies Rey stated that her dress and bonnet bad been spoiled by the blood which Bowed from her wounds. The prisoner behaved in a very violent manner while in court, and denied the charge. Sentence—Si: weeks' hard labour in the House of Cor rection. WORSHIP-STREET. George Far was charged with having violently assaulted and robbed Mr. Joseph Pries, raiding at Islington. The warms wee committed on the 10th inst., but the prosecutor had been unable to attend, in comesqueoce of the injuries be bad received. The prosecutor had lama attacked by three men, WOW of whom had placed their hands upon his throat and prevented him from militia for assistanos. whilst the others rifled his pookete, and then ran off. The prisoner was caught by • constable near the place, and the prosecu tor's perm was found close by. The prisoner said he would plead guilty, but the magi strate told him his crime was too greet for any summary punishment ; he was therefore committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. Edward Travers, a returned convict, Timothy Corner, Anne Levy, and Catherine &ram were charged with being concerned with others, not in custody, in breaking into the South Loudon Co-operative Stores, Borough-road, and steal ing therefrom about half a hundredweight of tea, two sides of bison, about 161. in gold and silver, and other property of eenideable value, the property o f t h e trustees of the sesisq. Ira. Lambert, the store-keeper of the society, said he lived on the premiss, and had charge of all the property. He was also • member of the society, which supplied un adulterated provisions at cost price. On the previous night he passed through the store-room, and found every thing secure. About a quarter past four he was aroused by the police, whom he found in the shop, end he then dis covered that the tea-chest bad been emptied of about half a hundredweight of tea. He also Wield two sides of Moon, 161. in cash, sad other valuable property. The premises bad been entered by forcing the back window. The police had found the shop door open, _and had thereupon called up the storekeeper . They afterwards went to • house in James-street, and there found the two female prisoners in bed, and in their room they discovered a sack containing the quantity of tea which bad been stolen, and which they denied all knowledge of. They then went to the house of the male prisoners, in Little Surrey-street, and found them in bed, and in the water-closet they dis covered a side of bacon. The male prisoners also denied any knowledge of the robbery. They had, however, been seem by two lads returning borne from i the glass-works in the Blackfriers-read, to enter the house n James-street with a bag like the one containing the tea, and afterwards go into their house in Little Surrey-street. A third man came up, and told the boys be would give them a threshing if they did not go off. They ran away, and went with the information to the police. Remanded till Friday. THE MIDDLE LEVEL FLOOD. LYNN, SUNDAY Airricasoo. The tides began to increase yesterday, and tt, authorities are busily engaged in cnidging the tops of the several banks in the neighbourhood, all they will contin ie to increase till next Friday or Saturday, when higher tides are anticipated that were the last "springs." The state ment as to the dangerous state of the Terrington banks turns out to be correct, as workmen have been engaged strengthening them. All the bargee have at length been ordered from the neighbourhood of the dams that are in course of construction. This has not been done till after consider able damage him been done by their being repeatedly driven from their moorings and dashed against bridge, and dams, &c. We have just returned from the sluice, and found there about two hundred men at work. The principal work being done is the coffer-dam, where pike about 4b feet long are being driven, commencing at both sides of the cut. If no unlooked-for catastrophe occurs to this work, and if the proceedings are pushed on with alacrity, it is likely that the coffer-dam may be completed in a fortnight or three weeks. The earth-dam lower down the cut, and upon which so much reliance was placed, was being constructed by Mr. Huller, the Dutchman, and that work has been positively abandoned. This has been done by the order of the engineers. Several thousand sacks of shingle have been thrown in, but the scour carries these away almost as easily as the earth. Mr. 3dtiller's dam had progressed to such an extent that at low water there was only some tivefeet of water over it. It is intended to try if stone can resist the power of the tides, aid two thousand tons of stone have been ordered from Yorkshire, The new sacks are nearly all used, and another order has bean given for twelve thousand seeks to be supplied imme diately. Under the present arrangements, however, it is not believed that much progress will he made. An extra force of police have been embodied to protect property, several robberies having been committed by persons in boats, who have gone to the deserted farmhouses that are partially under water and taken away articles. Thousands of penises have visited the some of ostastrope to-day.
