COPENHAGEN, Jaws 6. A few days ago the Russian Prince Sanguskoff i arrived here, attended by a numerous suite, and en gaged the brilliant suite of apartments on the first floor of the Hotel Royal. It was at first stated that ' he was conic as ambassador extrsordisary, but it now appears that he was only the bearer of despatches for the Russian envoy resident here. It seems, however, that be is a person of sums distinction in his native country, and had a private audience of the King at the Palace of Christiansborg. to deliver se autograph letter from his Sovereign. It was said that he IVY going on to Stockholm on a similar errand. but this is not the case, as he left this city yesterday by the steamer toe Kiel, and returns home via Hamburg and Berlin. Officers arrived here from the fleet state that whilst lying off Nargen they could plainly discover through I their telescopes a lady oo the promenade every even ing on the beech, attended by a numerous suite of ladies and cavaliers. It was supposed she was a member of the Imperial family. At all events she mat have been a lady of high rack and distinction, as everybody in passing her stopped, saluted in the most courteous manner, and remained standing still and uncovered till she had passed on. On Whitsunday there was a general strike of the "navvies" employed on the railway coostruotiog between this very and Cormier. About a hundred and Illy of them proceeded to the hoses of one of the sab-contrai.tors. who is also the superintendent of the works, demanding the payment of the money this to them op to that day, within three hoots. At the same time they attacked his house, demolished all the *Wows, and threatened hie life.

The authorities here attempted at first to put it down, and gave themselves a deal of trouble to find out the delinquents; now they shut their eyes to what is plug on. There is no law in force forbidding recruiting in Hamburg for foreign states. When the Foreign ion was first talked of, and Prussia and other states of y published prohibitions of it, the authorities of Hamburg, conceiving it to be a component part of neutrality, followed the example so nobly wt by Prussia ; but what was published was not an anti quated uorepealed law, but simply a prohibition ems natiog from the police office, and therefore not clothed with any particular power. It is, moreover, a well known fact that in 1848 and 1849 recruiting was carried on here at Homburg for the Schleswig- Holstein army quit* openly and with great success, ' and also in 1851 for the German Legion in the service of the Brazils. A contract has been concluded between the British government and the great provision dealers, Ball heirner and Co., of this city, for furnishing the need ful supply of fresh meet for the use of the German Legion at Heligoland, the contrectore undertaking to deliver the meat every three days until the end of September under the present arrangements. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, JI7NI 8. The hearts of the Dutch agriculturists see rejoic ing in the prospect of abundant crops. Though the season is late, everything in vegetation gives greater promise than usual, for we have had no frosty nights, as we generally have with early springs, to nip the bud or destroy the blossom. Even the districts so fearfully inundated last Much will prove abuncantly productive. Much of the land, it is true, has been left uncultivated; but on the whole, so far as the land is concerned, the inundations will have effected a benefit equal to that produced by the overflowing' of the Nile on what would be otherwise the unproduo tire fields of Egypt.

MONDAY EVENING, JUNE FINE ARTS. WORMS OF ANCIENT RAS nuts AT THE BRITISH INSTITUCION. We one not who knows it ; we feel more eery of O. in criticising this exhibition than any that NOM with the season. Private gentlemen and widow* liberally contribute for the pleasere.and in elsestion of the public works which they believe to be tiliqf Asstores of great masters, To disabuse them d their faith would do no Food ; it would make the (miters of the works exhibited uncomfortable, and it might deter others from exposing theirs to the ordeal of public comment. It has therefore been our prow ties to select for notice authentic works of unques tionable merit, with a view to indicate the lessons which artists and connoisseurs might learn from than. We intend to persevere in this course, and shall there. fore simply remark of the present Exhibition in penal, that it is scarcely of average extents" though it contains several interesting and 'matronly@ works. Hls The south room, dedicated, as usual, to the works , dmensed English masters, is perhaps the most in- ' eesting. We have seen works that take the eye l imere—nay, that possess more intrinsic value, in for rase Exhibitions, still there are many that will repay the inspection of the student of art. For example, Zoffany is well represented, and it is not easy to pro cure a sight of productions of this artist—one of the original members of the Royal Academy—that convey an adequate notion of his merits. His five paintings at present on view are calcu lated to elevate the estimate we had formed of him. His " Indian Scene" has something of that muddy colouring and detective grouping which characterise many of his works, but it is expressive of character. His "Reading the direction" is an excellent piece of yews. The pa's'. d look of the old elodpole carrying the hare; the cautious accomplish ment of young master who reads the direction ; the look of his companion, who indicates the place of the hare's destination and stuffs a piece of bread and ' butter into his mouth at the same time, are life-like and natural. The grouping is easy and graceful, and the colour clear and powerful. A singular interest attaches to one of two paintings of the children of George 111., by_ Zoffacy. It re presents Queen Charlotte, still young, and more beautiful than we are accustomed to see her delineated, with the Prince of Wales in a Roman costume grasping a spear, and the Duke of York (a mere baby) in an Oriental costume. If the costume was the choice of the Queen, it opens up a new chap ter in her history. There was a strong dash of romance about her in early life—witness the letter to the King of Prussia, which is said to have deter mined the King's choice of her for a spouse. Bat in this fanciful attire of her first-born there is the play fulness of the young mother superadded What a mistreat doss it present with the stern self-imposed ones of her later career! And how little did she Berra of the heartaches the boy Roman—would awe her! There is . perhaps none of our Queens who has been lees _justly appreciated than the wits of George HL How few know that she was the yahoo and correspondent of De Luc! Any tree woman, anxious to add a valuable contribution to the "Lives of the Queens of England," might find such matter here. Zuffany has also a creditable portrait of Andrew Drummond, E-q. And this reminds us that the only Gainsborough in the present Exhibition is a rather indifferent portraiture of Master Drum mond. There was some time ago, a talk in Edin • burgh of an exhibition of family portraits. What became of the project we never heard; but a noble exhibition might be got up of the portraits of illus trious members of old English families. Even to • modern family, like that of Drummond, • peculiar interest would attach; but how much greater would be that of the Northumberland', Cecile, and other really historical families! Then some of these portraits are valuable as work+ of art. To say nothing of those by Vandyke, even those of his uholars—Gandy and others—are occasionally of high merit. The picture by Hogarth of a Committee of the House of Commons examiniog Bambridge, the Warden of the Fleet, on a charge of cruelty towards prisoners, is not the least powerful of that great master's productions. The placid indignation of the round-hoed, be-periwigged senators is most som niferous. But Bainbridge is a gaunt wolf, brought to hay and snapping at his assailants. A historic interest attaches to this picture: it recommenors the first movement of the philanthropic party or public in this country. Thertrait of Miss Horneck (afterwards Mrs. Gwynne), po by Sir Joshua Reynolds, is a curious record of that muter. Originally it must have been as gorgeous as Indian shawls and jewels amid make it—now it is pale and bleached, a mere ghost of itself. Fortunately the colours of the fate have stood, and a face it is of unsurpassed sweetness. There is a "portrait of a gentleman" by Jackson—one of the most powerful and charao- 1 teristio productions of that artist. There is also' en admirable full-length portrait of a lady by Rota soy. Willie's "Rabbit on the Wall," Allen's ' *flinging Grove," and Turner's "Covering," are fine sposineens of the best styles of these artists. We will sake a tour of the two other rooms—devoted to the old masters properly so called—hereafter.

We are at a lore to understand why this Eabibitlos of Works of Art should take place at so inconvenient a dis taste. for the public. A better opportunity of rendscing the movement he art popular this that which three London imbibition, afford could net possibly be devised ; but owing to the out•of-thawey locality they are visit's; by a very small section of tie eosamanity. Oa Saturday afternoon last, the most leisure afternoon of the week, and a fine day, we noticed only a stadeat or two and a few earriege.folk in the auserous and *whop room. London is not like Pad', wsere the tailing masses an enjoy the opportunity of acquiring civilising knowledge, and of otherwise improving their minds during one day la the seven. The masses in England are denied this privilege. G.. eeee meat should therefore avail itself of every means of meeting this difilealty, by selecting convenient sites for ea►ibitioaa instituted under its control. Even when these seams of instruction are easy of access, an inspection of them on UM part of the shopkeeper, the clerk i+ clic*, the mechanic, he , is attended in each ease with ezpease ; but when placed at a distance, as is t►is inflame, an epportauity of visiting them is denied to the bulk of society. Consider lag that the espouse is defrayed by the people, surely every facility should be given to the public to contemplate proofs of intellectual progress made at their oast. ROYAL INSTITUTION. The leotnre-room of the Royal Institution was crowded in every pan on Friday evening, to hear Professor Faraday ezplais the sodas of Iteemeortr's apparatus, by which the effects of induced electricity are west strikingly exhibited. Mr. Buhmkorff is • philosophical maker at Paris, who has contrived by the application of well•knowa principles, and by • new combination end en largement of the ionisation eon, to prcthies from voltaic electricity some of the beautiful effects of the electricity excited by the most powerful machines ; and thus to show most clearly the identity of the force excited by friction and by chemical 'mien. The apparatus consists of a primary aril of upper win. round which there is wound a large quantity of finer covered wire; end by sending a voltaic current through the first coil, electricity is induced In the second, though no portion of the voltaic current passes through it. This " secondary element," as it is called, possums= inten sity resembling that axe ted by the electrical machine. The induction of an intensity current in a second wire was discovered twenty years ago by Profeessor Faraday, who sabibited on the lecture table the original apparatus by means of which that effect was produced. The induced electricity perceived on making contact with the voltaic battery is of the opposite kind to that excited on breaking contact, and Profemor Faraday stated that the cause of Mere being no observable offset excepting at the moments of making and breaking contest was that the two opposing au-cents being equal in force, they neutralised each other. By • mechanical arrangement, which. those who its ecquainted with a common medical coil apperatas will un derstand, the contact is made and broken automatically with immense Tepidity, and by this means the two electricities of the secondary current are separately brought into action. Ruhoikoff's apparatus is indeed little more than a greatly enlarged medical coil machine. The flood of electricity developed by this apparatus was exhibited is many beauti ful experiments. When • jar coated Maids with tin-foil was Placed within the exhausted receiver of an air-pump and one mid of the mooed wire was connected with the inside of the jar and the other end with the metal plate of the pump, there was a copious outpouring of purple light from the interior of the jar, accompanied by concentrated electric flashes, which varied in intensity as the strength of the voltaic battery was increased or diminished. Another remarkable exhibition of this condition of electric force was its passage in a succesio• of sparks between the ends of two wires. The sulks succeeded each other so rapidly se to be not separately distinguishable when the wires were stationary, but on moving them about each spark was distinctly visi ble; the optical effect, in consequence of the short duration of the electric spoilt, being the reverse of that when a con tinuous light is in motion. Vuions modifications of Ruben scoff 's coil have bun made by Mr. Grove end others, to increase its intensity effects and to mete the kind of elec tricity evolved approach still more closely to that excited by friction. In one of the arrangements shown by Professor Faraday, in which the secondary wire wax connected with the interior of • Leyden jar, the positive and negative slectricities of the sec• ndary current went exhibited sepa rately, and producing different. ffeau ; one being intensified by passing through the jar, end the other being in is ordinary condition. The sparks emitted by the intensified o. ?rent wens much more brilliant and made a louder sound than the other, and the actions of the two currants were also different ; for the former pierced holes through paper, whilst the letter set the paper on fire, and the ordinary current ignited gunpowder, which the other merely threw aside. Professor Faraday observed, in conclusion, that the extract. Mary pheaomena exhibited by Ruhmkorrs apparatus open new fields for discovery, which, if be were • younger man, he should have eagerly levestigated, and he teamed that other, who had their minds directed to the subject would be able to elicit by the observation of thou phenomena many important truths in electric science.

Mr. Hugh Hanamenley presiding, George Caterer and Thomas Appleby, labourer, in the service of Winless Ban well, a farmer of Wallington, were charged, at the instance of the Royal acre sty for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with gross ereaty to a bullock. Prete the evidence it appeared that on the 3rd ultimo defendant' were 'swaged ploughing with two teams of OU/11 in a field on Boswell'' farm. Appleby had two ycuog bullocks not sees tuned to the work, and jest as the day's !abut had concluded one of them fell down from exhaustion. lloth defeadsate tried to make the inlaid get up.

In less then five intents, after having been subjected to this savage brutality the-animal died. The carcase was sent b Batmen the saute night in • dung curt to a butcher in Wallington to he dressed. This butcher told the magistrates that be found it ma's of congealed blood and bruised flesh over the Übe, evidestly the result of violent blows on that part of the body. A quart of bl •od had escaped lulu the kidneys which alone would have owed the death of the animal, and must have occasioned terrible suffering defies life. These were several bruises on one of the hied legs, as if from an iron-tipped boot, end both nostrils were partially stuffed up with earth. The bullock was in es. tremely poor condition, and quite uodt for work of any kind. . .

The mimic strife that annually ruffles the bosons of Old Father Thames with the achievements of the beautiful little fleet of the Royal London Yacht Club came tame • Saturday, at the usual starting point, close to Erich, nudes unusually favourable circumstances as regarded wind and weather. Too frequently these harmless and health-giving feativals are marred by the rain, that spoils the dresses of the fair clubbista, or the midsummer calm that paralyse• the speed of the dainty little craft that have to struggle Mt the prize. On Saturday, however, these drawbacks weft ablest. as, although in the morales t►ere were some squally showers that drove the ladies under the awning of the es• cunion steamers and caused the gentlemen to button up t e formidable-looking pea-jackets, that give such • strikingly-nautical appearance to our brave yachtamen. the angry clouds gradually disappeared towards mid-day. the sun asserted his genial influence, and a brisk dancing hese& senttbe tiny fleet of wager yachts bounding merrily over the water. The race had, in short, to make it attractive, plenty of sun, plenty of wind, plenty of fair and fashionable company ; everything but a sufficient number of competing vessels to give reality to the struggle and value tG the prize which the liberality of the club had allotted to the winners. The prizes were four in number; a purse of 50 guineas to the winner in the first claw, and one of 31) guineas to the winner in the second, with additional prizes of 51 to the second in each class, so that there being only foss competitor it was t. all prizes and no blanks," according to the attractive programme of the German lotteries. This meagre list was the subject 9f much comment am , 11, the visitors, and was attributed to the celebrity of Mr. Lane's yacht the Phantom, with which the great body of yacht owners deemed it useless to contend. If such bs the case the evil should be remedied in anent two ways un • future occasion : either &spirit of emulation should stimulate the wealthier and more zealous members of the club to the building of yachts fit to sail agginit the dreaded Phantom. or the owner of that naapproachalate vessel, satisfied with the innumerable purses and laurels already won, should decline again entering the lists, so as to leave future farce to ►e contended for by more equally matched competitor. The following is the list of t►e vessels starting : FIRST CLASS. Toes. Owner. Phantom 3l .... B. Lane, Esq. Water Lily 2B .... J. Faaeourt, 111001• D CLASS. Kitten l4 .... •• R. Leach, E.q.

Oa arriving at Erith in tie Man excursion boat the com. pony found the four vessels moored in a lice across the river, and on the firing of a gun the whole got sadler weigh, at lh. 39 m 20 sec. The Kitten was the fiat in motion, then the Vampire, thirdly the Water Lily, and lastly the Phantasm, which, secure in her speed, took all her preparations for starti, gin a most leisurely manner. At this time the breeze was so stiff*. to give the advantage entirely to the heavier vessels, as was soon apparent from the position takes by the Phantom long a-head of her competitory, and which pat the result out of doubt in a moment. As the wind was quite fair for the Non, the vessels had nothing to do, on their downward puss{ e, hut fly before it, and those qualities which are moot prized in sailing vessels were not brought Into requisition. All made good speed, however, the Pump. tom doing this distance in 2 bean and 27 minutes, and the Vampire in 2 hours end 44 minutes. Is beating up,, the Phantom fully sustained her superiority; altbot gh occasionally weathered by the Kitten, the moment the wind freshened she recovered her ground, railing at a good pace, and in nautical phrase, almost dead in the wind's eye. She got home upwards of half an hour before all her competitors, baying performed the run to the Nore and back, upwards of 70 miles, within six hours, beating up against the wind for one half of the voyage. When the • boats had all come in, the owner. were assembled nu the deck of the Mars, and addressed by Captain Andrews, the • vim-commodore of the club, who complimented them se on the admirable qualities of their vessels and the nautivt skill of their commanders, at the same time noticing the curious fact that on this occasion every one had got a prize, so that nobody could reasonably go away satisfied. The gallant vice-commodore also noticed the annually iscreuieg number of their lady visi ton, congratulating himself on the fact that three 1 gatherings of the club were so careful.y oondueted that Its memoirs might confidently Whig, their trims, daughters, and sisters, at once to partici. ate in and enhance their own to ilments, without tiny tear that they would he subj.eted to the slightest annoyance or ioCetivrnirroph, These obesnations received a f loud a llowed bnd sao• nting or •he from the numerous company, o y cheers f Queen, the clab, and the winners of the day. The loud then struck up a merry polka and the company dar e:d upon the deck, while the Bea steamer bore them ateaclth e .:y baskak to town. The music, w hich was supplied by bawl of the Royal Artillery, under the Won of Mr. Soy was well select.d, and performed with all the pr. ion which this .well known military band is remarkable. • CRICKET.—UNIVERaITY OF OXFORD v.
