LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8. lr is impossible not to admire the bull-dog pluck and tenacity shown in the repeated at tempts of a well-known clique to remove the national pictures to the West-end. Only two years ago Lord PALYZRSTON obtained a vote of 17,000/. for the National Gallery on the distinct promise that the present building should be made fit for the whole of the national pictures, by the removal of the Royal Academy to Burlington House. Yet on Monday evening his lordship frankly announced that he had changed his mind, and urged with all his energy and ingenuity the ad vantage of spending 150,0001. in removing the national pictures, and abandoning Trafalgar-square to the Academy. There is something more than natural in this obstinacy. The scheme of carrying every public institution westwards was, it is well known, the favourite idea of the Late Pavics CONSORT. But the public refused to consent to the project even during the PRINCE'S life, and therefore naturally expected that no more would be heard of it after his death. The hope is plainly doomed to disappointment. The royal desire has an undying vitality. After twenty hostile votes it rises again, and tries still to push us from our stools. It reappears in Protean forms, and in every variety of seductive guise. If it cannot carry off the birds and beasts from Bloomsbury, it will at least entice away the Old Masters from Trafalgar•square. If it cannot lead us to Kensington, it will at least lure us to Piccadilly. This persistence is more than human—it is preternatural, ghostly, and weird. Flesh and blood cannot stand against the operation of an invisible and impalpable agency. We may resist and defy it for a time, but in some moment of levity, or weakness, or distraction, or prostration of spirit, the immortal and unquench able Presence will triumph, and we shall thence forth only have the knowledge that we have been overborne and lost. Yet if fate could be averted by any process of ressouing, we might certainly still hope for deli verance. No argument worth examination is ever propounded in support of the desired removal. Smoke was the first bugbear used, but roses now bloom in the Temple-gardens, and it is impossible to pretend that pictures must fade at Charing cross. Dust was the next suggestion, but it seems the dust rises chiefly from the visitors' feet, and as the bulk of London lies to the east, it is hardly probable that the visitors' feet would be made less dusty by trudging an additional half-mile towards the west. The theory of danger from foul air and gas has been silenced by scientific experiments. 80, as no imperative necessity for removal can be insisted on, we can only consider the comparative advantages of the central and the western sites. In favour of the latter there is urged the greater quietude of the Burlington House region, the greater convenience to students, and the economy of building a new edifice rather than extending an old one. These reasons hardly need refuting. It will, we imagine, be a novelty to most persons to find that the noise of Charing cross disturbs their contemplation of pictures, and we must in that case admire the self-devotion of the Royal Academy, which is very willing to accept the continued use of the rooms for the pur pose of its exhibitions, and for the instruction of its students. The economy of abandoning the gallery to the Academy and building a new one, instead of leaving the Academy to build for itself at Burlington House. according to its agreement with Lord DERBY'S government, is a theory which is also as new as startling, and which the most ingeniously framed estimates will hardly persuade the public to accept. But that which after all must rule the decision is not a question of money. It is whether the pictures which the nation buys and keeps are bought for the few or for the many. If for the few, and these few are chiefly the rich, we grant that the removal to May Fair is a convenience ; but if for the many, and the many are necessarily not the rich, then they ought to remain in a site which is so much more accessible to the bulk of the population. Accepting the Royal Academy's approval of either site as decisively settling the question re specting the convenience of students, it would thus appear that the whole matter in debate turns upon the numbers which each locality is likely to invite. All the expected superiority of Burling- tou House as regards quietude and freedom from dust, depends on the assumption that fewer per sons will there enter the gallery. And we doubt not that this assumption is perfectly correct. It is a quarter of an hour's further walk ; going and returning it will demand half an hour's more time at each visit. This is irrespective of the fatigue, a serious tax on most workers, and will undoubtedly render their visits less frequent. But is this an object to be aimed at 1 The very pur pose of Art is to educate and inspire, and how can it perform its functions, if obstacles are placed in the way of its lessons 1 We may admit that a large proportion of those who peas through the galleries are scarcely sensible to its influence. But its glory is that it influences insensibly. All who gaze are not made connoisseurs. But few gaze without carrying away some memory to rise in after years, some subtle and inexplicable suggestion of a new sense, some revelation of a higher and purer world. They cannot explain it, they may think they care not for it, and may never return again. But even then there has been a moment in their lives abstracted from the weary cares of the world, and spent among the smiles of angels and in the freshness of bountiful nature, and who shall say that even such a fleeting respite of the soul is fruitless T But to suggest such cases as these is to put the question at its lowest. The majority of men and women do care something, more ur lets , and according to their several under standings, for Art, and are semi* infiuegeediril pleasure in beholding ite wqrks. On thin its effect is undeniably beneficial, and sway indeed ii were strange if appreciation of so divine a faculty were given to none but a few elect. So for the sake of the majority of the visitors we must still plead for the retention of our collections in the heart of the metropolis, and still thank the House of Com mons for every fresh rebuff it administer to the meddling fanatics who would remove them to the richer neighbourhoods. •EXPAUS, PARLIAMIINTARY DIVISION.

A fearful accident occurred last night on the South-Western Railway. One of the trains return ing from the Ascot races—one of those long un manageable trains, heavily laden with holyday makers, and such as are only seen at race times— ran into another train at the Egham station, destroying two carriages, killing five passengers almost on the spot, and more or less seriously in juring between 20 and 25 others. The accident oc curred at about a quarter to 8 o'clock to the train which had left the races a little after 7, and which was followed as soon as safety, as It was thought, permitted, by another train equally long and equally heavy. It may be mentioned here that, owing to the many false starts, the races'were not over till a late hour, and that as it drew towards evening consider able anxiety was experienced by the railway officials as to the rush of passengers they would have, all desiring to be sent off as fast as the trains could be filled. This rush came at about 7 o'clock, and the trains were despatched very rapidly one after the other. That to which the accident occurred left Ascot soon after 7, and, though the line is a particularly difficult one, full of dangerous curves and steep gradients, it arrived at Egham safe enough shortly before 8 o'clock. Tickets were collected there, and while this was going on a complaint was made to the station authorities of some card-sharpen being in a carriage. An altercation arose about their removal, which, whether successful or not, was long enough to delay the train two or three minutes more. During this interval the next train from Ascot came up, just as the first was moving off. The inevitable collision was so clearly seen that those in the station called to the passen gers in the last carriages to jump from them. The guard was in the break-van, the last of all, and his experienced eye needed no warning as he looked out and saw the next train coming on. He jumped out at once, though not a moment too soon, as the ()rushed fragments of his van caught his coat skirts and tore them off. The collision was very violent, owing to the im mense weight of the following train. It crushed the guard's van to splinters, crushed a second-class car riage next to it, and partly crushed another beyond. The usual scene of confusion and dismay succeeded. Assistance was at once telegraphed for to London and to Ascot, and the work of succouring those injured instantly began. There was a horrible scene beneath the ruins of the broken-up second class carriage. From out of the wreck the bodies of four gentlemen were removed. A fifth died as he was being carried to the bank, and a sixth was so injured as to leave last night almost no hopes whatever of recovery. About 25 other passengers were found to have sustained injuries, such as concussions, dislocations, and broken bones. But even the moat serious of these, it is to be hoped, will not be likely to prove fatal, se, with the ex ception of the one whom we have mentioned as believed to be mortally injured, all, it is stated by the railway authorities, were in the course of last night enabled to come up to town and either pro ceed to their own homes or were taken to the hospitals. About 25 passengers thus came to Waterloo, all more or less alarmed and shaken, many weak and faint, and with their clothes covered with blood. At 12 last night the gentleman whose almost fatal injuries we have mentioned was brought up on a stretcher bed in a guard's van. He was accompanied during the journey by a surgeon, and was removed from. Waterloo on a bed placed in a light long chaise which the officials had provided to take him to Charing-cross Hospital. His name is unknown, and he remained as insensible as one already dead. In appearance he was a young gentleman of six or eight and twenty years of age. It is stated that the train which ran into that at Egham was going at great speed. This, however, can scarcely have been the c a s e , as i n this case its weight would have been sufficient to crush it through half the train it ran into. Very few persons were injured, or even much shaken, in the second train. None of its carriages were hurt, and its engine driver and fireman kept their posts on the engine unhurt. All this would seem to prove that it could not have been going at great speed, but from this very fact it seems equally clear that there either must have been no signals at all at tl.is sta tion or else that they were most recklessly disre garded. The line was cleared in the course of about an hour, and passengers went on as usual ; but up to this morning the inquires were anxious and incessant at Waterloo from those who had friends and relatives missing to know the names of those killed and wounded. Three of the bodies were identified. Mr. Clegg, a licensed victualler, the landlord of the Harp, Jermyn-street ; Mr. Cockerell, the clerk or con fidential agent of Mr. Padwick, the well-known racing man ; and a Mr. Winfield, whole not known, except from the direction upon a letter found in his pocket. There therefore remained two bodies that bad not been recognised at the time our reporter was obliged to leave. The bodies were all removed to the Railway Inn, close to the station at Egham. We may state that the corpses were not much mutilated, death apparently having arisen from concussion. One gentleman was also conveyed to the Railway Inn in a very dreadful state, having had both his legs so much shattered that ampu tation is inevitable, and will be performed as soon as be is capable of bearing the shock. On inquiry, it appeared that he is a gentleman in the establishment of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. One gentleman was brought to London at his own request, and conveyed to Charieg-cross Hospital in charge of Mr. Heyward, where he wa,r promptly examined by Messrs. Tra vers and Hughes, the house surgeons, and it was found that he had several ribs broken, his right leg was also broken, and he had sustained such severe internal injuries that the issue is extremely doubtful. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS,-(THIS DAY.) MEAL WIDNISDAT. It appears that Mr. Clarke, one of the medical gentlemen who was early in attendance on the sufferers, telegraphed to Mr. Fergusson, the sur geon, that amputation was requisite in the case of Louis Kay, • young man who was so seriously in jured, that at first it wan considered be was hardly likely to survive. He is an apprentioe to 1)L Francatelli, chef-de-cuisine in the establish ment of his Ro yal Highness the Prince of Wales. Mr. Fergusson left London immediately, and ou arriving at the Railway Inn, assisted by Mr. Clarke and another medical gentleman, removed the poor young man's feet, which had been terribly shat tered. He is now (12 o'clock) somewhat composed, and has been visited by some of his relatives. As stated in the account of the disaster furnished to the papers last evening, only five persons were killed, and up to the moment of writing this account, only four have been positively identified. Their names are as follows :—Mr. Edwin Hall, corn-merchant, residing at No. 8, Duke-street, Manchester-square. This gentleman had his legs cut clean off above the knees, the lower part of the limbs being mash e d up ( we no other word to express it) with the sand and gravel of the permanent way. The person who was stated to be Mr. Cockerell, who proves to be a man named Cobbett, known in racing circles as "Padwick's Mouse," and who dwelt in the same house as Mr. Hall, referred to above. His employer, Mr. Padwick, came here this morning. The third has been recognised as Mr. Wilbey, the landlord of the Globe Inn, King's road,Chelsea. This gentleman died from concussion. Mr. Clegg, the landlord of the Harp publichonse, Jermyn-street, was further identified this morning by his widow, who we need hardly say was com pletely overcome. He was a gentleman well known and highly respected. The fifth body, as yet, is not identified. In the pocket of his waist coat was found an envelope bearing the postmark Newmarket, and addressed to " Mr. Wtn. Ashman, 27, Bury-street, St. James's, London, W.—paid ;" and inside is written in pencil, "Royal Hunt Cup—Turcos. Mr. Deans." g: also, has apparently died from concussion. Ti bodies all lie in a room at the back of the Rail a„, Inn, and have been cared for by Mr. Inspeo ,r Newland with all decency and respect, cousideru, the limited means at his disposal.

This afternoon Mr. William Carter, c‘roner f : Surrey, proceeded in a special train to Elli n :. open the inquest. Several persons who are . to be able to identify the deceased went down to scene of the accident at the same time. Had the first train not been en motion t extent of the catastrophe would have been apv, ling : but the shutting off the steam, and 0th..1 v.:. checking the speed of the second train an i t motion of the first one, materially lessened t. . shock. No carriage was thrown off the nietalQ an hour's time the line was cleared and the sec;. train proceeded on its journey to London, brin.:n 4 up nearly all those injured in the first train. N one in the second train—not even the driver a t., engine —was hurt. _ It is stated that platelayers had been AatioL, i along the line at intervals of a quarter mile . with flags, kc., to signal the different train , , a!, guard against accidents.

He was very much shaken at.l nervously confused, but during the night L.. covered somewhat. He said this morning that 'ft.. shock was so sudden he could give no account the accident.

WRDINFADAY aliEsT .INTEELIOraicz.— RUSSIAN OPPOSITION TO GERMAN CLAIMS. The Boe►sedwlle of Hamburg says :—" We learn from a reliable source that not only has Russia pro tested against any arrangements which can be re garded as an attack upon the integrity of Denmark, but has also caused it to be understood that if no attention is paid to this protest, her court would reclaim a pert of Holstein in which Kiel is in cluded. We are informed that this step on the part of Russia has led to an exchange of despatches between the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, and that the result of this correspondence may occasion a new crisis in the attitude of the two great German powers, or at least of one of them. To judge from certain indi cations, they consider this step of Russia as much more serious than the noisiest demonstrations on the part of England. There are here, as at Berlin, certain influences which are strong enough to cause a reaction in the policy of the two great German powers, from the sole point of view of the maintenance of good relations with Russia. It would not then be impossible for Austria and Prussia to return to their first programme of per sonal union." GERMAN ARROGANCE.

(now on owi conaronm.) PARIS, TCESDAY EVMMO. The friend who told me yesterday that La Porn merais would be executed this morning believed so firmly in his news that he got up at 3 in the morning and went to the Place de la Roquette. There be found a considerable crowd, all expecting that the lugubrious drama was to come off, and refusing to believe the policemen who told them that they might go home, for there was nothing to be seen. The company consisted chiefly of the working classes, but about 4 o'clock, the appear ance of a string of carriages from the Quartier Latin, containing students accompanied by ladies of the demi-monde in very loud toi lettes, provoked • scene of disorder which lasted for a long time. The working people of Paris have never, since 1848, manifested any hostility towards rich people, but they have lately shown a singular antipathy to women of their own class who flaunt before them in fine dresses purchased with the wages of shame. Their susceptibility on this point was first shown when the new boulevard which abuts on the Barriere du TrAne brought a stream of the fashionable world through the Faubourg St. Antoine to the Vincennes races. On se veral occasions the police have been obliged to protect women of a certain conspicuous class against the insults of the multitude. It was this sort of rough, honest, but ill-regulated indig nation which broke out at daybreak this morning when • procession of students and their mistresses, fresh from au orgie, appeared at the Place de la Roquette, hoping for a new sensation by the sight of blood. The crowd surrounded the carriages, hissed and jeered the inmates, and so provoked some of the students that a general melee ensued, iu which blows and kicks were freely exchanged. It took the small police force on the ground a con-i siderahle time to restore order. Several arrests are said to have been made. M. Lachand, accompanied by La Pommerais' father, has gone to Fontainebleau to-day hoping to be permitted to make a last appeal to the Em peror. The public will certainly encamp before the Place de la Roquette again this night in expec tation of the execution. The Pattie says that Madame La Pommerais has determined to pass the rest of her life in a convent. La Pommerais is said to be more subdued than be was. He still sleeps and eats well, but speaks less of his chances of a pardon, and listens more to the exhortations of the chaplain. A chapter of Iloasuet, on the " Immortality of the Soul," is said to have made a great impression upon him. M. Eugene Godard has addressed a letter to the journals to account for the non-performance of his promise to ascend in his balloon on Sunday. All WEATHER REPORT. WZDNILSDAT. JDDI Nam . : 097 9, 591 9W.

GOLD DIIZINO AT BOKDS►UL— Bortiesux is at present labouring under a fever for gold-seeking. No in. dications of the precious metal have been seen, but all is founded on tradition and legends. In 1791, the monks of the Quatrain being driven from their peaceful abode, are said to have buried two barrels of gold and a peat quantity of sacred vessels under the room of the Prior, but the biding place was afterwards changed to the back of the grand altar in the church. A lay brother is said to have revealed the secret to a locksmith, who, on his deathbed communicated it to his family. In 1818, the cur.; of the Church of St. Bruno, which stands on the site of the old convent, hail excavations made and some sacred vases were found. and as his charity to the poor far exceeded his known revenue, the suppo sition was that be had also discovered the gold. He, how ever, hail • private fortune which threw discredit on that ides. In 1833 fresh diggings were made by tas locksmith's family, bat, after seven years' useless labour, abandooed. The work was then continued by a company, which cave It up in 1542. A fresh company was authorised in 1845, but obtained no better result. Somnambulists and so-called sorcerers were consulted, but all to no purpose. At present fresh digger have come forward to continue the search, sod an order of the mayor declares that the demand for authori sation i• based on serious and rational data.

The hones took fright at the strange appeavanes of the man and his conveyance, and became uncontrollable. After they had gone some detance, the carriage was overturned. and Mr. Ward, his friend, and the servant thrown out, happily withoot receiving any seriotur injury.

A MAN BURIED Auva.—On'Thureday list, a man named Jacob Ramley, • well sinker, residing at Co. perby, met with • frightful accident. Ile had been etc. ployod at Weheral Shields in filling up a well which had been sunk without water being found. About 30 feet 12 , 1 been filled, and there remained other .10 feet to fill. While he was employed in the well the woodworc unexpectedly gave way, • large quantity of earth fell in, burying the unfortunate man alive. Ai. &bannee was procured, but as only one man could work in the well at • time, the proem of clear. log out the earth that had fallen upon him was very slow. The accident occurred at 9 o'clock in the march*, and at half-pant 9 o'clock at elitist there were still 12 feet of earth upon him, and there seemed to bs nobops entertained that he could be rescued alive. On Frilry the excavatiou continued, but there was still about forty feet of sand above the unfortunate man. In the morning there was another fall of mod into the well, and operations were delayed till more substantial props were greeted. There was a great crowd round the spot, and the workmen were very assiduous: but of course the occupant of the well was long ere this a lifeless corpse—indeed, the Ind fall must have crushed him to death. -- --- THE LA ILES.—THE VISITING Sumac—The improvement which has token place in the trade in the manafacturieg districta, together with the extremely fine weather in the " lake country," is already be ginning to tell in the neighbourhood of Windermere. Daring the last fortnight the visitors have been et. tamely numerous for so early a period of the fear. The principal hotels have been quite full The hopes of the hotel and lodging-house keepers an coagequestly raised that the season may prove et longer duration then that of last year. The visitors have no reason to regret their early visit, for the stwrousding country is truly magniticeet in its plentiful sad beautiful foliage. '{'be steamboats hare commenced plying on the lake, and the flotilla of small boats is quite ready. The Derwestwner Hotel. Portiowale, was fall of visitors a week ago. —Clitaherfand Par itir DISEASED SnEite.--Several persons are said t.) have realised large profit@ lately by purchasing sheep jest I as they became &seemed for a low price, killing them imme diately, and seeding them to the London market. As tie disease was most apparent is the lungs, which were not sent with the carouse, the London meat inspectors were fora long time deceived.

Tux SMALL Poems IN DIPLOMACY.—poor e.. 1 Turco !—I can't know how old be was, but he was nearly blind, exceedingly feeble, intensely stupid, and much given to ailleo. Still, whenever any one of the family—be didn't mind the servants—would go oat to the stablayard, bc'd rouse himself up, and, affecting to believe it was an it trader he'd give a fibres bark or two, when, discovering his ' error, he'd w g his tail and go back to his den—all this being evidently done to show that he was as vigilant as ever—a sort of protest, that said, "Don't believe one word about my being blind and toothless, still less flatter yourself that the plan is secure. It requires all my activity and watchfulness to protect ; but go tack in nesee. I'm ready for them." Now, this is exactly Williamshat Turto is doing at Munich and Drodeu. Whatever W oomes out with s hint that he is not wanted, Turco makes a furious noise, rushes here and there after a turkey-cock if he can find on'. and thoroughly satisfies the family that he is an iovalall.l ,, bent, and could not he dispensed with, Like Turco. %c ), who always barked, or tried to bark, whenever he hoard any nobs or commotion going on outside, these people are tare to make an uproar if there be say excitement is their neighbourhood. No sooner did Menrig-Holstein begin to trouble the world, than despatches began to pour in front pines that a few weeks before even the ms engers scarcely knew on the map. They related interviews with unkeovo prisms and unheard-of miniaters, sod spoke of hopes, fears. wishes, and anxieties of people who bad not, to our appre ciation, a more palpable existence than the creatures of the heathen mythology! Much grumbling and sore of ear, Williams goes back to his kennel. " What suppress the mission at Roben-Schweinstadt, when I hold here," ex claims the minister, " the admirable report of our diplo matic agent out the state of public feeling in that important capital! Will the hociourable gentlemae, to whose long experience of fangs polities! am ready to bow, inform me bow the relation of England with the continent are to le carried on unless through the intervention of rich appoint meats! Can the honourable member for —" (a shit owner, perhaps) "carry cm his great and important busi. nese without agencies? Can the bosourahle gentleman himealr (a brewer) "he certain that the invigorating and admirable produce of his manufacture will attain the ale. brity that it merits, or become thedally beverage of count less tbousaods is the tropics, attempted be those aids which to commerce or diplomacy are alike indispensable" This is very like the Premier's eloquence. I almost think I 222 listening to him, and even see the smile of triumph with whichb• appeals at the peroration to hi■ friends to cheer him. Turco is safe this time ; and, better still, be teed never bark again till next Easter and another budget. Blackwood's Maga:int for June, ! tl
