Wag On Iles alisF!•,ia the plibinite of 20.-- (From the Times.) During the last few days twelve of the leading building firms in the metropolis, after mature consideration and watching bow the system worked with other large em. ployers, have decided to adopt the plan of hour payment and Saturday half-holiday for their men. These firms are in addition to three who have already adopted it, sod as there is now no doubt that in the coulee of another month this hour payment will become the rule of all rupee menu with labourers, the masons, seeing that the masters are determined, have held a meeting to endeavour to com promise matters. With this view the following letter, which, it is to be presumed, contains the ultimatum of the unions, has been forwarded to Hews. Holland and Hansen, and through them in effect to all the gnat oontracten. It is dated from the Sun Inn, Mason-street, Lambeth, May 27, and is as follows : logs, and even the roofs, were crowded with attired ladies, including Lady Grosvenor and a large number of the aristocracy. The ground was kept by about 400 men of the London Scottish, under the command of Lord Elcho, assisted by the Marquis of Abercoro, Sir David Baird, Captain l'age, the Adjutant, he. The Queen's were under the ocerunand-in-chief of Lieut., Colonel Earl of Grosvenor, Lord Gerald Fitzgerald, Major Russell, Major Loch, and Major and Adjutant Mayne. Colonel M'Mtudo, inspector-General of Volunteers, ammo. pulled by Major &skins, C. 8., was also present. It had Ines arranged that the King's colours should be presented by CapSain Robertson, R.A., as the son of the colonel of the old Westminster Volunteers, and the regi mental colours by Richard Twining, Fag., as the son of the Bentenannoolooel of the old regiment. The colones, which appeared in a very excellent state of preaervatioe, consisted of the Kiog's colours, the regimental colours, and the saluting Rag. There were also six of the old camp colours, bearing the then number of the regiment (Bth Middlesex), the present number of the Queen's being the 22nd Middlesex. The King's Standard wan liekl by the Hun. Frederick Byng, who is a private in the present corps, as he was also in the Old Westininstets. " Bir,—l aminatructed by the moony of London to for- ward to you the following resolution (as a proposition to mettle this loaf agitation, thinking as we do, it is an honour able compromise both to masters and workmen of this vexed question), at a general meeting of operative MOORS, held May 1, at Hawkstone-hall, Waterloo-road: " Resolved,—That seeing the determination of the master builders to enforce the half -holiday, we, the mums, accept Ss. for the ant live days of ten hours, and It for Saturday, but to leave work at 12 o'clock on Saturdays,' " Hoping the above will meet your kind consideration and approval, and that your an., er may be in the affirmative, on behalf of the moons,-1 am, Sir, to., " CHAZAIII SIT. In cosetqamicse el impaiwirmai PPiermis?boinswftm..--- LONDON IRISH RIFLE VoLUNTRERB. —Thetis la no truth whatever in the statement that this corps is to visit Ireland during the summer or autumn. The applies tioa to the proper authorities for permission that it might be allowed to visit Dublin fur a few days was not only refused, but was not entertained for a moment. A strong detachment of 2tlo men of the 62nd Regiment, and the same number from the 63rd Regim ent, have embarked at Halifax, Nova Scotia, for St. John' Ns ew foundland, in aid of the troops already there, to suppress the serious riots which were Whin place there. This force is under the command of Colonel Fordyce, Amaiatant Quartermaster-General.— United Smug Gazette. Psou Pans MONIY.—The following are the names of the ships entitled toolbars, for services during the flunnele war al 185243:—Bittern, Cleopatra, Contest, Vox, Hastings, Her.ues, Rattler, Salamander, Spartaa, Sphinx, Styx, Serpent, and Wiucbeater.—United &Trice Gazelle. Sure—At one time it was sup posed that the Lords of the Admiralty would wait to see the performances of the Warrior at sea before ordering any further iron ships to be built ; but it would seem that either the alownem with which this pattern ship is pro gressing in her equipment, or the rapidity of the move meets of our imperial ally on the other side of the water, has induced their lordships to change their minds upon the subject ; for we have reason to believe that at least six additional iron-plated ships will be constructed in private yards as soon as the dniwings can be prepared. Three ships will be of a most formidable character, attl we have no . doubt will be built on &Alpe which will combine great spied with vast powers of resistance. We stated - last weak that orders had hem soot down to Chatham to plate the wooden ship Royal- Oak with iron ; it now appears that this system has found favour in the eyes of *lane who have the direction of our naval affairs at Whitehall, for it has been decided to adopt a similar plan with four other vowels. It would seem from this that the Lords of the Admiralty are inclined to lend a willing ear to the ad vice of their colleague, the Hoo. Sir Richard S. Dundee, rather than to that tendered them by the Defence CuMMill• loosen. raray aa el Nary Gazette. that the. maiden refuse. The masters have tumors tionably refused this offer, on the grounds that they have already lest thoweinds upou thousands in con sequence of there being no definite meaning attached to the term "a day's labour," sod the efforts of the unions to reduce it to nine hours. They state that if they accepted this compromise of payment by the day, the question would be just sa it was last year and at the beginning of this, and that before six months elapsed there would be a repetition of the old strikes in favour of the nine hours movement. They also called attention to the fact that they do sot en force a half-holiday, as the resolution of the =MOOS them selves proves by their wishing them to enforce it from 12 ..leek instead of 1. They decline to be parties to enforcing anything on the men as to hours of labour, as it was the sole reason for their adopting hour payment that each man might be left at liberty to work as lung as be pleased. The masters state that tkeygnarantee that their mils shall be open to all workmen for ten hour. daily, and not Ws.

I obtained the tickets from Mr. Lsmbson on the distinct understanding that they were not to be sold but given away, hut, at the same time, that voluntary penny subscrip• time were to be solicited for the purpose of defraying neces sary expenses. I issued the tickets in accordance with those instructions, and entered the subscriptions on a printed sheet of paper supplied by the committee for the purpose. This sheet I have still in my possession, and shall be happy to submit it for inspection. It contains the lames of the subscribers, the amounts, and the number of tickets. Some subscribed more than a penny, nod several nothing, for I did not hesitate to deliver tickets to applicants whether they subscribed or not.

In reply to questions by the chainosn, he stated that great difficulty ex isted in ascertaining the creeds of the inmates of work. houses equally as regarded these unions where register' were kept, said where they were not kept. The general rule in the London workhouses was that no Roman catholic paupers were allowed to leave the bowie to attend mass till they were 60 years of age. They were also not unfrequently de prived of the liberty of going to attend religious service for breach of the workhouse roles. He did not mean to say that the workhouse rules should not be kept, but their breach ought to be punished in • proper manner. What would be said of a magistrate who, instead of inflicting the usual legal punishment for an Wino% should senteooe • person to be prevented from say. ing his prayers for a week or fortnight! No Roman catholic books of devotion were allowed to he used by Roman cathol r ic i cupers unless they were open to the inspection of the cha in, the governor, and matron, which, of course, rends the peirmasiou to use those books nugatory. He stated os the authority of the Rev. J. Cochraue that pro. testant tracts were fieely distubuted among Romeo catholic paupers, as well as prott-stants. In St. Pencnui uniou the general practice was out to send for a priest unless • Roman catholic isolate were seriously iIL By Mr. Walpole—Unquestionably it was lane that is fit.

As in the last Exhibition, one half the entire space of the building will be allotted to England and the colonies, and the remainder among the various foreiga countries. All the applications for space from England have been sent in, and some idea may be formed of their extent when we state that, if all were granted that basked, England alone would require a building nearly three times larger than the entire structure for next year. Home ex hibitors' demands are preposterously exorbitant A visit to the site of the proposed building is the beet way to get • fair idea of the immense extent of the intended structure, and also of the rapidity with which it is being raised. A fortnight ago, and the surveyors were only marking Oct the ground, and a line of little sticks of different colours wax the solo aid to tracing the else of the building. Now all the concnie foundations have been laid and hardened, and the walls of the picture pllery are already some 1.5 feet high. The foundatioos have already consumed 5,000 tons of macre* which, as the first item, is pretty fair. On thew foundations will be laid n early 60,000 tons, or I,4oo,oo.lcubte feet of brickwork, requing upwards of 18,0110,000 bricks to build it. T 18,000,000 bricks no less than 22,000 tons of mortar will b requisite. 10,000 tons of ironwork—vix, about 7,000 tens of cast, and 3,000 tons of 'wrought iron—will be used in the entire structure. As there are nearly 1,200,000 superficial feet of flooring, the same amount of timber as of ire* is required—namely, 10,000 tons. The &oriel; alone use. same, 360 miles of planking, seven niches wide, and 270 miles' length, nine inches wide, or upwards of 600 miles' planking is all. T actual he aual quantities are 1 40000 of and 2,000,000 lineal feet of each kind. For the windows no less than 11$ miles lenith, or 600,000 feet, of lashing will be required, to fill in which are required 500 tons of sheet ems and upwards of 50 tons of putty. The roofs will need 600,000 square feet of felt ; and moues the minor items are between 200 and 300 tons of nails, 600 ton of paint, 300 tons of piping, and so on. The cubical contents of the whole structure will be no less than 73,000,000 cubic feet. MUSWELL-HILL LAND COMPANY. The first ordinary general meeting of share holders was held on Friday at the London Tavern ; Colonel Losnincrron in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report of the directory., of which the following is nn abstract. The whole number of shares (exclusive of 7,000 reserved for the vendors) have been allotted, and the deposit of 21. 10• paid thereon, with the exception of 752 shares. On Jun 12, 1860, the agreement was signed for the conditional purchase of the Tottenham Weed estate, and a deposit of 15000/. paid. The directors have been in communication with various Forties who have • plan for a palace, garden, and parks, in the centre of estate, for which traffic arrangements .1 • satisfac tory character can be made with the lireat Northern Rail. way, but no further action can be taken until the company have decided on the course to be with respect to the purchase of the land. t o &ti d event of power to purchase being given to the direc ton they most also he empowered to borrow'on mortgage to the extent of 70,0001. if these borrowing powers are not given, and the land not purchased, • call of 10s. per share must be at once mole to meet liabilities coming dee on the 12th of June. The financial statement showed the re ceipts from calls on shams, &c., up to Mark, 25, 1861, to be 15,6201., from which 15,000/. has leen paid condi tionally for the purcha.se of land and 'Nome other minor expenses, leaving • baleen in cash at bankers of 1241. lie. lid. On the motion of the chairman the report was received. The meeting was then made special for the purpose of considering the propriety of completing the purchase of the land, and of conferring the incesatry borrowing powers on the directors. _ _ _ After some discussion and explanation from the CHATS MAN and Mr. Barry, the COMpktly ' S surveyor, the following resolution was agreed to : - "That this nit,ting is of opinion the purchase of the land should be completed, but that it should be at the discretion of the directors as to what period they should complete the purchase." A resolution was also agreed to empowering the directors to raise a sum not ex ceeding 70,000/. for the above purposes. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the busineas.

THE GALWAY SUOMI/Y.—A special meeting of the municipal council of Dublin was held on Friday in the City Hall, for the purpose of petitioning the House of Com moDe "to restore to the Atlantic Royal Mail Compsay the subsidy of which they have been uujustly deprived by the arbi.rary act of the Postruaster•Geueral, and to adopt such other measures as may be best calculated to protect the Galway Atlantic Company from the unworthy combina tions of interested monopolists. The chair was taken by the Lord Mayor. On the motion of Alderman Reynolds a series of resolutions were adopted exprenive of dismal& faction at the withdrawal of the subsidy, declaratory . of the advantages afforded by Ireland for picket communication with America, end calling upon the lush members to use every effort for the restoratiou of the subsidy. A _petition fonodel on the resolution. was also adopted. Meetings with a similar object have been held during the past week. NOVEL IMPORTATION or STUCIL—The Mermaid. which arrived from Canterbury last week, had on board :38 sheep from Mr. George Rich's celebrated merino flock, con sisting of 28 rams and 10 ewes. Some of them are intended for the breeding establishment of the Emperor Napoleon at Rambouillet, according to the arrangement concluded with Bann Daurier by Mr. Rich on his visit there in 1889. The remainder are for the improvement of Mr. Rich's own este bbahment in England.

Pending the production of a new comedy which is is preparation, the management of this theatre has re vived a seriocomic drama, called All that glitters is mat Hold, written by Messrs. Morton, and originally produced on the same stage during Mr. Farren's tenancy. The part of the heroine, Martha Gibbs, a factory girl, which was one of Mrs. Stirling's happiest creations, is now played by Miss Ssdgwick with much redundancy of gesture, and such melo- dramatic depth of voice and general intensity as is seldom seen in the Olympic. Indeed the new cast shines but poorly when contrasted with the old. Mr. G. Cooke, genial and hearty though he be, will not stand comparison with the elder Farrell ; Mr. F. Robinson is by no means a Leigh Murray, and there is a smallness and a narrowness about Mr. H. Wigan's "fun " which prevents his obliterating Mr. Compton 's quaint rendering of the character. BLONDIN AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. That illustrious potentate, " the Emperor of all Ifsoills," held his first English levee at the Crystal Palace an Saturday last, and seldom has • sovereign received • more brilliant court, or been greeted by • more universe' or hearty homage. The British public had bee• well papered . is see something extraordinary in M. Biondi°. The American chroniclers had done full justice to his exploits, end the latter had—which was of much more imped ance to • British public—received the imprirnakr of the "Young Hope of England." M. Biondi& had crossed the terrific falls of Niagara oa a hemp's& , thread, in the presence of the prince of Wales, and his royal highness had in gracious terms expressed his approbation of the fearlessness, finish, and originality of the performance. Had M. Blondin performed before Philip of Macedon, that moat sarcastic of potentates would have rut him • rope ; but Albert of England, more kind arid ap precistive, so distinguished the great acrobat by his appro. !ration as to induce the latter to make his strikingly original cider of biking "Casar and hie torten.'" across the ter rible chasm on his frail, fibrous bridge. M. Blondin bad, therefore, in the noblest theatre in the world, already per formed the most wondrous feat of courage and dexterity ever witoessed. The very conception of such • perform ance was alone enough to 'immortalise the man ; ad be had done it in the presence and with the approbation of one whom Englishmen deem the most illustrious prince in Europe. It was not, therefore, to be wondered at that Saturday last should have found the Crystal Palace filled with one of its most brilliant and distiagnished Saturday audiences. Wo do not allude merely to the numbers. although they were very great, but to the class of per sons who were present, including the ,`file of the nubility, and the best dressed and meet fashionable of our whole upper ten thousand. In Spain the gentlest senoras crowd to the bull fight, and—" oue touch of nature makes the whole world kin "—in Eegland the fairest maids coil mat comely matrons hurry to the Crystal Palace to see the brave little Frenchman performing • feat to which the "dreadful trade" of the seraphim gatherer was but children's play, crossing the vast concur, of the crystal transept on what looked to be a mere thread, at a height of two hundred feet from the ground, and that too with an ease, a certainty, and • gram, which, after the first convulsive pep of terror was over, enabled the vast audience to look at the mdse. mutat and still inure extraordinary feats with unruffled composure and admiration. The company commenced pouring down train after train in quick succession from twelve o'clock, and at four, the time fixed for the commencement of the performance, the transept and ita immediate neighbourhood, except that por tion which had been railed off, with • rather ominous previ sion, immediately under the aerial bridge, presented • crowded and brilliant appearance. Far up in the concave roof • rope— it appeared in the distance a mere line—was stretched as tight as windlasses and pullies could draw it, along the whole length of the transept from the back of the Handel oreisselas W the eremite gallery. A small platform at either end, decorated with one or two dap, were the only additional preparations, and the audience, having very pool completed their examination of these, awaited in palpitating expectation the peat performance of the day. Being placed in a very high gallery, almost immediately under the rope, and also under M. Blondin's starting point, we had the advantage of • very close inspection of the performer and his work. Blondin is • man of small stature, but • model of muscular compactuess and symmetry. If his whole motive power had been a system of flexible steel machinery moved by clock-work, there could not he greater precision and certainty iu his movements. It could be seen in • moment that he was • perfect muter of his work, and that the nerves had been brought into such complete subjugation to the will, that any fear on his pert was completely oat of the question. In this fact lies the whale mystery and success of his performance, and it is re markable that this perfect control of the nervous system is attained more frequently by the French than by any other European people. The French have always supplied us with the bad rope damns, equestrians, and equestrienne•, no Englishwoman having ever approached the French ladies of the Acids [rote in deed. of daring, except, perhaps, the celebrated " Belle Reei4e," Miss Voolford, still living, we believe, as Madame Ducrow. The splendid nerves of the French, combined with their stnall, light heads—we mean physically light--enable them to preserve their composure in positions so giddy that the heavier, fuller•bloudd Englishman would infallibly tumble over. Wherever an Englishman has anything to hold by, wherever his iron muscles can be brought into play, be can fairly rival his more mercurial neighbour in deeds of daring —as, fee instance, in the rigging of a ship, or with a musket and bayonet in his grasp ; but when the work to he done is to trip lightly over • rope at two hundred feet from the ground, or perhaps to apply with cool nonchalance the fuse to • mine, the physical peculiarities of the French organization give the Frenchman peculiar advantages. If the rope at the Crystal Palace on Saturday had been stretched at • distance of two feet from the ground any little boy amongst the spectators could have tripped across it; it wee its position that consti tuted the wonder of the performance, and that position bad evidently not the slightest tenon for the intrepid M. Moodie. Shortly after four o'clock the band struck op • martial stress, and all eyes and gluons were turned to the tiny plat form far away in the transparent roof, upon which the performer was standing previous to his perilous journey. A tightfitting garment of woven silk exhibited his muscular symmetry in full perfection. He wore a head-dress of ostrich feathers, and across his buds jie balanced an enor mous pole sixty pounds weight, and looking like the stud ding sail boom of a large ship. The facility with which he managed this, playing with it as if it were • feather, was not by any means the least wonderful past of his performance, and showed how enormous must be his strength when com pered with his light weight and small stature. There were • few of the preparatory test steps usual with rope dancers, and then off h.- started with a gradually accelerated pace as be approached the "dip" of the rope, and as gradually reduced as he ascended on the other side. People held their breath, strong men flushed and became pale, and many actually turned away, unable to look at what seemed to give the performer himself not the slightest trouble. The British public had now got a " sensation "performance with a veugeaoce, and they en joyed it, sensation fashion. During the journey their hearts heat quick—their colour changed—they turned their heads away in tenor, and then turned them back again, under the spell of a resistless fascination. When Blondin arrived in safety at the far end, a simultaneous sigh of relief rose from the audience, and then a loud, warm, wondering cheer broke over the whole interior, establishing unmistakeably and at once the performance as • grand " sensation" success. But this was only the beginning. U. Bloodin walked backwards with the same facility as he had walked forward, to the great enjoyment of the audience, who now felt that they were quite sure of their man, and could enjoy his extraordinary feats without any alloy of apprehension. This would have been almost enough for one day, but the most wonderful part was yet to come. Covering hie head with a sack, he started forth blindfold, and, amid the actual shudders of the vast company, proceeded on • new and more perilous voyage. There was • man actually proceeding along a rope stretched at • distance of two hundred feet from the ground, and with his eyes blind fold, and the upper past of his body enveloped in a sack! the the at tbs t th• Ifs ai 11•116 NW- me ,-.. ...,- I ~I ~~ f
