REPAZINIRATION OP FLINTSHIRE. FLINT. MONDAY. The contort for the seat in parliament rendered vacant by the death of the late member, the Hoo. Mr. Mostyn, is likely to be very warm and cline. The reopen. Ore caudelates—Lord Richard Grosvenor, mound eon of the Ilan su of Westminster, in the liberal interest, and Mr. of Kinmell.park, no the conservative side—ar• pursuing an active canvass. and to-day and Saturday their friends have been busily engaged amongst the farmers and other freeholders attending the market. The writ, which was moved for in the House of Commons on Friday sight, arrived on Saturday nurning, and we understand that the I ligh Sheriff has boo! thu nomination and election for Saturday and Tuesday next. Mr. Hughes numbers anumpt his supporters many 1.1 the conservative gentry of the nicety; but there is one amongst them who, we under. Sheba, decline., to use his influence in favour of Yr. Hughes -we allude to Sir Stepbee Glynne, brother is-kw of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was roes. deafly stated in Flint to-dav that Sir Stephen has pointedly refused to form on. of Mr. Hughes's committee, and, inas much as he tae considerable 'printers in the district, the chances of nieces. of the conservative candidate may be loo sened. It is believed that the hostile spirit in which Mr. Hughes, in his address, speaks of the Chaeoellor's hue. is a great measure, led to Sir Stephen Capito l = nano. It will be nvienibered that at the general election in 1567 Sir Stephen Wynne was s aiedidate for the represen tation of the county, in opposition to the late member, Mr. Mmityn, on which occasion the present Chancellor et the Exchequer took sa active part is Sir Stephen's favour.

MUSIC. NEW PHILHARMONIC CONCERT& _ _ Dr. Wylde is carrying on theme concerts with re markable success ; but it would seem that his present sue ens is eoneiderably owing to his having changed the charge. ter of the entertainments, which now depend less on the rzength of his orchestral performances than on the attrac tions of the Italian Opera elegem, Millie. Titiens and Signor Giuglini, whore wavier+ he has again obtained on terms which, as reported, are so enormous that we do not venture to mention them lest the rumour be a mis take. We regret the growing tendency to remunerate these opera stars in a manner entirely disproportionate to what is customary with regard to the moat eminent musical performers in every ether branch of the art. Hut Dr. Wylie does what he Gods beet for himself, and is well en titled to do so. He bad a room crowded to the doom, and doubtless has had a good return for his outlay. Indeed, the concert, indepeodently of these attractions, was very goml. We had llcethoveu's Pastoral symphony extremely well performed ; Mendelssohn's " hies of Fingal," and a concerto of Spohr's charmingly executed by Mr. Henry Blagrrcre. The bulk of the concert, however, and the part* which chiefly engaged the attention and drew forth the plaudits of the audience, were the airs and duets taken from the fashionable operas of the day, sung by the two performers we have named, MR. TENNANT'S CONCERT. This young anti rising performer, who is taking his place among our favourite tenor-singer, had a con cert at Exeter Hall last evening--a brilliant and sue sessful entertainment. Them was an ample and varieil bill of fare, the particulars of which we cannot detail, being able to mention only two or three things which were especially prominent. In the first place, Madame Alboni made her first appearance in London this season ; sang as exqui sitely as ever, anti was received with the enthusiasm AO justly her due. Her pieces were the air "Ui pincer" from the Go:m Ladrii, Itode's famous air with variations, and the well worn, "11 ',egret° per es•er felice," in L,, rein Borvia. Madame Catheriae Hayes had a re ception nearly as brilliant as Alboni. She sang the pathetic air, " Qui la voce," from the Puritans, with much feeling, making an evident impression on the audience. Mr. Tennant sang several pieces in • manner worthy of his rising reputation. His performance, especially of Mendelssohn's "By Celia's Arbour," was delightfully pure and refined. One of the moat ' , leering performances of the evening was Verdi's fine duet, " Oh, di goal oats," sung by Signor and Madame Ferrari with perfect ensemble, finish, and truth of expression. Schubert's famous song, "The Wanderer," was magnifi cently sung by Formes. There were some instrumental pieces, the principul of which were Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," anti a no-turns of Chopin, performed in his usual masterly style, by M. Charles Halle. Millle. Titiens will make her first appearance at Faeter•hall in the Cregtion, under the auspice. of the National Choral Society, to-morrow (Wednesday) ; Mr. Martin having, we are informed, engaged her at the unpre cedented sum of 120 guineas to sing the comparatively few liars belonging to the port of Gabriel. DRAMA. -~- OLYMPIC. Mr. Robson being still incapacitated by illness, the management has availed itself of the star services of Miss Amy Seilgwick, who appeared last night as Lady Tessle in The Sch..ol for &modal. We have frequently had oecuion to comment on Mira Sedgwick's performsnce of Ude character, sad we see no reason to differ from our previously expressed criticism. Miss Sedgwick's Lady Teazle wants high breeding and repose, and is coarse. etagey, and artificial in the highest degree. There is a Eighty provincial mannerism about her, • redundancy of gesture and • pitch of voice, all entirely out of harmony with the character. Of the other parts the hest was that of Sir Peter, as played by Mr. Addison with much senile unction and fretfulness. The piece was handsomely placed on the stage. _ _ _ LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1881. ST. JAMES'S. Last night a new French company, under the di rection of M. Lambert Dennery, opened this theatre for a summer season. The pPer de resistanee was Les Voyeges de Mons. Pe reicher+, in •rhich the principal character we. played by M. Geoff rey. We re■ene our comments, merely noticing that, contrary to the general rule of the French stage, the smaller parts were not very satisfactorily tilled. ASTLEY'S. This once popular place of amusement, after being closed for some months, and its properths, including its famous stud of cream-coloured and mottled horses, die. posed of by public suction, was opened last night, and the well-known attractions of the arena and the stage again exhibited to numerous and applauding circle. ..f sp„,,r,s i t o r s . The bills announce that the management of the theatre is in entirely new bands, but there hat been little or no de parture from the old modes of winning the presence of the public. The horses were as shrewd as of old. They prated, enr•adled, and curvetted with the usual grace and Master Adolphus Boerne, Mr. and Mrs. Palmer, Miss Palmer, Mdlle. Annie, and Mr. Ricluuda, rode them as cle verly, and leaped them through hoops as wonderfully as ever. Moon. Fisher, Nice, Nicole, and Moleno performed the most surprising feats on the "eying trapeze," on "the double ladders," and in various other ways above and on the ground, which excited by turns the terror, the wonder, and the applause of the spectators. "An Arabian Fa.," in which a grand Turkish ballet was introdueed, succeeded to the sans of the arena ; and the evening's amusements wound up with "The Mill iu an Uproar," • comic ballet, which win well executed, and afforded • favourable oppor tunity of estimating the streogth and resources of the management, Mr. Lauri taking the principal part. The theatre has been newly painted, and looked cheerful. The venous entertainments succeeded each other in rapid sue. cession. Nu effort seemed to have Leen spared to provide • good Whitsuntide bill of fare, and it was accepted us such. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO AMINALII. —Yesterday the 3fith annual meeting of this society tiheld at St . James ' s -ball, Piccadilly ; the Bishop of Bath and Wells (Lord Auckland, in the chair. The right rev. and noble chairman, in opening the proceedings, pointed out bow intimately religion and kindness to the brute crea tion are allied to each other, and took credit to the society for the abolition of Smithfield and all its attendant horrors, the improvement in the treatment of .sib bones, cal the suppression of the dog-eart nuisance throughout the king dom. Leaving brutal cruelty, be neat spoke of physical cruelty, especially vivisection, which he denounced, not only because of the pain it imitated upon the poor creatures subjected to it, but also because it was in reality no help to science. The report stated that representatives of the society attended a general anti cruelty congress held at Dresden in July last ; that two deputations had waited upon the Emperor of the French in reference to vivisection as practised at the %octet marry schools in France, and were well received ; that the Italian parliament was about to pass • law similar to Martini Ant ; and that the society had secured cioovictions during the year in.. 54 moos of cruelty which they brought under magisterial notice. The meeting was +Addressed by Mr. Mackioooo, Sir John Scott Lillie, Sir John Buller cast, Rev. Mr. North, sod other gentlemen. Resolutions were adopted in the spirit of the report. The proceedings terminated in the usual manner.

THE WHITSIIN HOLIDAY. Burnt' MrsevM.—A holiday period like the I present has never pawed by without witnessing a great accession of visitors to the great national receptacle of what ever is curious, time-honoured, instructive, and interesting. The scene yesterday formed no exception to the rule. Before 5 o'clock about 20,000 persons had already passed under the massive pediment, on their way to inspect the varied con tents of the Museum, and every one appeared observant and happy. The King's Library and the Grenville Library were especial objects of attraction, and applications for tickets to view the new healing-room, to which alone access can be obtained by that portion of the public who aro not admitted for the purpose of study, were exceedingly numerous during the day. CRYSTAL PALACE. —Upwards of 3.1,000 persons visited the Palace yesterday. In addition to the usual attractions, the directors bad provided extra amusements for the holiday visitors. At half-past ono the Swiss Min. steels appeared in the orchestra, and sang several of their favourite melodies ; them were succeeded by the well known Christy Minstrels, who delighted the audience (at least, those who were fortunate enough to bear them) with some of their choicest nigger ballads and burlesque opera performances. In the grounds a variety of amusements were afforded, including a balloon ascent by Mr. Coxwell ; the prmentstion of colours to the Finsbury and Clerkenwell Volunteer corps PAL Middlesex) also took place on the terrace, and attracted the attention of a large portion of the resembled thousands. Cr.Emoltwe GAZDINI4. —From the opening of the doors until a late hour in the evening these gardens were thronged by a large concourse of visite", although nothing but the usual amusements had been announced. Judging, however, from the good•humour and hilarity that prevailed amung4 the crowds, these proved sufficiently attractive. The stereurama, • beautiful work of art, was crowded throughout the day, while the circus was • great source of attraction to the juveniles. Dancing on the circular plat• form was kept up with unflagging spirit, and must have severely taxed the powers of the orchestra. SCluti GARDgNM.—These garden were well patronised by the holiday folks, and a continued round of amusements were provided for their entertainment. A talented equestrian troupe, under the direction of Messrs. Hutchinson, gave throe performances during the afternoon and evening, the intervals being tilled up by the Coloured Court Minstrels, dancing by the corm tie singing, and instrumental performances. At dusk the large plat. form end the music hall were thrown open for dancing, which wee entered into with great spirit and prolonged until a late hour. ()groan Mewl' HALL,—Menem. Morton and Stanley have made a aucceseful venture in the west, as they have already done in the south-west of London—we mean in the CanterhuryhalL All the general arrangements at the Oxford last evening were in excellent working order, and the overflowing audience were, se Pepys would say, pleased "mightily." TYROLINE Mitorrarts.—A party of Tyrolese singers, under the auspices of Mr. Mitchell, appeared yester day afternoon at St. James's Hall, and are to sing there daily during the Whitstin holidays. They appear to be the same persons who sang several years ago at the St. James's Theatre—at Insist we recognised Mane. Margreiter, whose homely but not uncomcly aspect, tunable voice, and inarti- ficial but pleasing manner of " warbling her native wood notes wild" attracted considerable attention. The present party (who are stated to be from the Ziller-Thal) consist of five men and two women. They have all good voices. which blend well together, and the simple harmony of their part-singing is sufficiently pure. But the great defect of their singing —and it is no fault of theirs, but of their music—is its excessive monotony. Tyrolese music has • peculiar character, but is so very limited that when you have heard • few specimens you have beard the whole. It has but one rhythm, an all Its melody consists at • few phraaes, on which endless changes are rung ; while the harmony seldom goes beyond the tonic and the dominant. Add the variety given by the " Jodeln," or bell-like voice, a kind of falsetto calculated to be beard at a distance among the mountains, and you have the whole of the T)rulese music. Such us it is, however, a little of it occasionally is very agreeable, and so it seemed to their audience yesterday, for their performances were heartily applauded. They sang both solos and choruses, and (as appeared from the programme) on subjects both sentimental and comic ; but, as there were no books of the words, it was impossible to make out what their ditties were about. ZOOLOCICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S-PARK. The gardens of the Zoological Society of London were crowded with visitors during the whole of yesterday. Nearly 26,000 persons paid for their admission, and many of the fellows and their friends were likewise present. On no former oc casion since the establishment of the society has the number of entrance* in one day been so large. It is gratifying to learn that, under such extraordinary circumstances, no accident of any kind took place, and that the animals seemed but little disconcerted by the unusual number of spectators. It may be added, as an interesting incident of the day, that a fine female giraffe was born during the forenoon, and, in spite of its first appearance at such au inconvenient moment, seems likely to do well. CHEENWICH.—AIthough the ancient institution of Greenwich fair and the glories of "gingerbread alley " have departed for ever, yesterday the park and Black heath were crowded by thousands of visitors, and the ca terers for U. amusement of the public reaped a rich har vest. The steamboats throughout the day were thronged with parengersoind train, every ten minutes from London poured suminsire streams of pleasurc-aeekers into Um already crowded streets. —An immense multitude visited Woolwich yesterday, and the entire fleet of the steamboat company was busily employed in the passenger traffic to and from the various stations from Hungerford to the Nore. ROYAL PAVILION GAR URNS, NORTH WOOL WICH.—This popular place of amusement was opened for the season last evening, under the meet favourable auspices. The gardens were crowded with thousands of visitors, the majority of whom arrived by the Eastern Counties Branch Railway, and the amusements provided gave uni versal satisfaction. The illuminations, under the superin tendence of Mr. Duffell, included " lime lights, " and were splendid. The musical arrangements, under the direction of Mr. T. Herman, included a grand vocal and instrumental concert, the band consisting of forty performers, and a novel " shadow entertainment," invented by Mr. Nelson Lee; and a host of other amusements terminated by an excellent display of fireworks. LiveaPoOC-7estA3rday the great holiday week commenced in Liverpool. Thousands of people from the manufacturing districts arrived by cheap trains on Satunlsy and yesterday, and as usual dispersed through the town and suburbs, chiefly, however, congregating near the docks and various ferries. The weather was beautifully tine, and pro mises to be au during the week. NEW HORTICULTURAL GARDENS AT KENSINCTON —The Council of the Horticultural Society Lave just issued their rules for admission to the gardens during the present year, but they are rather long anal complicated with the many privileges of fellows, &c. What the public at large are interested in knowing is what briefly are the means of getting access to these gardens. They are these :—On every day during the present year, including Sunday after noons, an annual payment of four guineas will admit six persons, all of whom, except the proprietor, may be di!. fereut on each day. On the show days two persons are ad missible, one of whom may be different on each occasion. An annual payment of two guineas admits three persons every day except show days, when one (the proprietor) only is admitted. On show days the public are admitted at the first, on the sth of June, for 10s.. and at the others at varying rates from ss. to Is. On Saturdays the public obtain admission by payment of 2a. 6d. each person. Promenades, with military bands, will take place every Wednesday and Saturday dozing the month' of Jane and July. TRU LATI Duna OF BXDFORD.—The funeral of the late esteemed Duke of Bedford is fixed for to-morrow. We have roman to believe, in accordance with the wishes et the late peer, that those who attend on the mournful wee elm will be confined to the immediate members of the family. WOLVERTON WHITSUNTIDE FESTIVAL. A very pleasant and interesting festival came off yesterday at Wolverton, can of the new railway town. whose rapid growth in population will be one of the features of the forthcoming census. Not many years since a few cottages furnished the excuse for giving the place a name, and now there are several long said regular-built streets, • neat church, and soon will be added a mechanics institu tion, to lay the first stone of which formed the great feature of yesterday's ceremonial. In the morning the station church was crowded to hear the Lord Bishop of Oxford preach an appropriate sermon, and amongst the congrega tion were his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, the Earl and Countess of Caithness, Earl Ducie, Sir Harry Verney, the Marquis and Marchioness of Chaudos, the directors of the London and North Western Railway, several clergymen of the neighbourhood, Mr. M'Connell, Mr. Scott Russell, Lc. The remainder of the church was densely filled with work men and their families. The congregation came to church in procession, headed by two courts of Foresters and their hands from the neighbouring district. The right rev. prelate took his text from 1 Corinthians xii. 12, and preached en eloquent discourse on the unity of the church of Christ, the necessity and beauty of which he illustrated by comparisons such as were likely to produce the most striking impression on the minds of his special audience. The deportment of the workmen and their families was most decorous and attentive, and all present seemed deeply moved by the earnest eloquence of the distinguished prelate. At the termination of the service another procession was formed, headed as before by the Foresters' band, and the company repaired to the site of the new mechanics' institu tion, where the usual arrangements had been made for the inaugural masonic formality. The "laying" of the atone was performed by his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, who said upon taking the trowel in hand, "I am not going to detain you here with a long speech respecting the bene fit. of mechanics' institutions. If it were necessary there is one near me (the Bishop of Oxford) who is much more com petent to dilate on each • subject. I have only to congratulate you on the spirited exertions you have all ready made to promote the mimosas of that one with which we are now about to make a beginning. The workmen have themselves subscribed 500/., the railway company has given the site, and with such an auspicious commeucement there is little doubt hut that the institution will soon be in a prosperous condition. (Cheers.) Considering the short time that the project has been in contemplation, such pro. gross is wonderful, and it is a great credit to the working men of Wolverton soil its neighbourhood. (Cheers.) In stitutions like that which we are about to raise are • benefit anywhere, but in Wolverton it will be peculiarly valuable, in the absence of all other means of amusement. (Hear, hear.) All work and no play, it is said, makes Jack • dull boy ; and it is in order to assist 'Jack' in getting some play that I have come down here to-day. (Loud cheers). I shall not detain you any longer, being curious to see you engaged in these strong and manly exercises which most contribute to make Englishmen able to defend their country against all comers." (Loud cheers.) The done was then deposited in its bed with the usual formalities, the Bishop of Oxforddelivered a prayerenda pro 120U0Cellbleming, and the whole assembled multitude struck up the Old Hundredth Psalm in solemn chorus. Immediately afterwards an adjournment was moved to the field where the sports were to come off, sod a couple of hours were de lightfully spent by the workmen in athletic games and ex ercises, and by the general company in admiring and mi. planding their prowess. The proceedings terminated with a monster tea party in the new engine shed, which had been fatefully laid nut and decorated for the occasion. Tables were laid the whole length of the apartment, and an abundant supply of tea, cakes, and other refreshments were dispensed to the working men and their families. A raised platform was devoted to the Bishop of Oxford, the Duke of Sutherland, and the other distinguished guests, and from it the right rev. prelate delivered a few parting observations. His Lordship said he should not be so unreasonable as to detain them with any lengthened observations at a time when a much more pleasant amusement awaited them than listening to long speeches. The tea was growing cold, and the cakes were speed in tempting ahundauee on every side, and besides their directors had already set them the bad example of falling ou the bread and butter before the regulation time. (Laughter.) What he wanted to do was first to congratulate them and himself on his being able to redeem in the dry weather the promise he had made in the wet, and to participate in their festivities. (Hear, hear.) He should say but a single word—it must not be more—respecting the building, the first stone of which they had laid that .lay. That building was intended for a two-fold purpose—amusement and instruction ; nail be knew he was addieseing an audience amongst whom there were many who wished to see such a place not only in order that they might flied amusement after their hard work, but also in order that they might educate themselves more highly, so as to fit themselves fur intellectual enjoynseet, and for any other position in life which the providence of God might open to them. (Cheers.) After all, the only real, sound, profit able education which man or woman got was that which they got for themselves, for it was done with • will, and was therefore done in a very different manner from that which was done without it. (Hear, hear.) He ob served to-clay that they had all watehed v as he had done, attentively the men who were leaping over the pole. Had they not known the man who was going to clear the bar by the peculiar expression of will which they saw in that man's countenance as he ran to hound over it, (Loud cheers.) In their pump through life they would meet with many • has, and, oh ! how great was the pleasure of getting over it. The pleasure 10110 when they cleared it one day to put it an Inch higher the next, and so go over that, until they reached the reassoaable maximum of their human powers. (Hear, bear.) Such was the way in which people should set about training themselves; it was to do it with • will, making the conquest of to-day the groundwork from which they would spring to the enterprise of to morrow, and never tiring in the race until they felt that an honest life's work had been achieved. (Li.u.l cheers.) They proposed to have in the institution a reading-room fur nished with good books, and in which lectures would he given. They also prop osed to have facilities fur the study of astronomy for those who wished to make themselves more than ordinarily familiar with the wonderful works of Ood. He could hardly see or thick of anything better than such institutions. The real rest for the working man was not idleness but change of work. In the labour of the morning his muscles and sinews were called into play, hut in the evening, when he was resting them, be could call out his intellectual powers, and raise himself to a position in which he could enjoy God's gifts with • perfect relish and appreciation. (Cheerio.) Such were the uses to which they hoped to put that room, which he bored would also serve as a goodly rallying point for social intercourse between man and man. He hoped that they would meet there again and again; and as they worked together, so they might learn together, enjoy rational amusement■ together, and be ready always to exchange the hand of friendship with each other. (Cheers.) Be was not going to detain them any longer. He maw signs —ant of impa. tience—nothing of the kind, but signs which showed him it was time the feast should begin. The tea was waiting in the cups, and the cakes were asking to be eaten. He was not, therefore, going to detain them any longer than to tell them how heartily he wished them God speed, and to me miee them that if it should please God to prolong his life, it should be his greatest pleasure to assist at the opening of their institution, and to preside at their festivities. (Cheers.) His lordship left immediately afterwards, being followed to the platform by crowds, who cheered vociferously until he took his seat in the railway carriage. The remainder of the evening was spent in the open air amusements, which had been interrupted by the tea party. A noticeable incident in the day's ineceedinge was the arrival from Buckingham of a newly invented locomotive calculated for common reads, and intended for Switzerland, to which country, we were told, the inventor, Mr. Ricketta, had already sent many of his carriages, all of which were working with success. The locomotive, which steamed into Wolverton yesterday, came at the rate of nine or ten miles an hour, and carried • large number of passengers, ieclud , hag the Earl and Countess of Caithness, and several scien tific persons who took an interest in the invention. The whole festivity terminated at an early hour, having given un mixed satisfaction to all the participators. Soma Kixemaros Musaux.—lrving the week ending May 18, the visitors have been as follows :—On Monday, Tuesday. and Saturday, free days, 5,530 ; on Monday and Tuesday, free evenings, 4,034. On the three students' days (admission to the public 6d.), 1,806; one students' evening, Wednesday, 155; total, 11,525. From the opening ef the museum. 2,037,077. FREI EMDARATION TO THE CAPS OF GOOD HOPE. —The Sedgemore, of 920 tons, being the twenty-eighth free emigrant ship despatched at the colonial expense, sailed from Southampton on Saturday last for Table Say. with • selection made from the artisan and •gricultunal classes, by the acting eniimation agent. Mr. A. C. Saunders. They number 258 souk, e9ual to 223 statute adults, and are under the charge of superintending surgeon S. P. Cheneell. Mr. Saunders appointed from among them John .M'Kay to be schoolmaster, Jane M'Connell to be matron, and Alice Wright enb.matron. The emigration to the colony nodes the local act of 1857 has now reached a total of B,2oosoak• (Stamped, ld. Additional.) LTWOPE JERUSALEM. TO THE Ennui Or ke Hirst. Sia,—For thu last three months we have hat numerous military parties in the Holy City from the French expeditionary force at Beyrout, and have duly admired the wonderful fertility of invention manifested in their uniforms. We are a grave people here, and the effect upon us was somewhat startling of such kaleidoscopic combinations of red, yellow, light blue, white, dark blue— without the least idea of congruity of colour—and it was the rarest thing in the world to see two men dressed alike. The largest party was at Eitater, when wane of the navy accompanied them—a far superior set of men. At the same time a large caravan of French clergy sod laity were here independent of them, including soma renuirkable cba ratters, such as the Jesuits (formerly Russian princes) Ciagarin and Hatable, and the celebrated Ferdinand de Lessem with two of his Egyptian company, who had travelled from Suez to El A rish in a carriage drawn by camels. Persona of a naughty, that is of a hostile, English ten. perarnent, may ask slat was his object in coming to Jere. mien'. He has himself published the motive—namely, to render thanks at the Holy Sepulchre for the great success that has attended the work of the Isthmus Canal, and to place so important nu undertaking under the special pa tronage of the Divine Redeemer! Of course his compatriots were edified by such suitable conduct. That scene has shifted, and now we have in our AMU companies of cleanly, well-behaved English officers of her Majesty's line•of-battle ships Hannibal and Renown, succeeding the visit of Rear-Admiral Mundy, of Neapolitan and Garibaldbui reputation, who was here lately for a few days, and paid a very stately visit to the local Fuchs, with a train of Dewily thirty officer', he being the first British admiral in command that had ever reached Jerusalem. The city was much enlivened during his stay, and there can be no doubt that, with the feelings of the native population previously enlisted in our favour, the English name has got a lift that was very much wanted. Throughout the country, among all classes of Mohamed:4ns, the feeling is universal in approbation of the office which they suppose the English are come to assume, namely, "to defend the Sultan against be French." It has required an Oriental nature to enable the pea santry to endure without rebellion the famine which is afflicting the southern districts, arising from failure of the two last harvests. It may be that political intriguers may yet be able to work upon the minds of the distressed people, either for direct measures fo be taken, or for remain ing supine while others overthrow the Turkish government. The local rulers , lo nothing for relief of the sufferers, and leagues of arable hual are unsown this year, for want of send at the needful time. Many are the instances of land pro- prietors between this and Oasa who till lately, with true Arab hospitality, would not hesitate to kill sheep for guests four time., in a day, now wandering around us in rugs, and begging broid from house to house. In the winter there was an excessive mortality among agrarian cattle. An enormous emigration has taken place from districts south . . _ of us into Egypt. A good many robberies have taken place of late through out Palestine, including an unusual one, namely the plunder of some baggage of English travellers going to the Jordan ; these were ,onsiderably in advance of their bag gage, and the guides and muleteers in charge of it were Bud. dealy attacked in a narrow pass by some vagabond Arabs belonging to a remote territory, who happened to be pass ing along, but who are scarcely known to the regular Arabs of the surrounding country. Stith events have mu currod before to other people, especially if guided by soldiers, but never to the English. The owners of the baggage were meanwhile proceeding along very innocently and happily, till at Jericho they found no baggage arrive. On the Sunday immediately after their return wo had a thanksgiving introduced into the church Liturgy, "by some travellers, for deliverance from great perils by the way?' On account of the confessed inability of the Turkish go vernmant to protect traveller pawing the Jordan, the English Consulate has for fifteen years volunteered to en sure that protection by means of contracts with the petty Arabs in the intervening territory, who on their part make contracts with the wilder Arabs beyond the river. And such prompt measures were taken on this occasion that near 500 men were in pursuit of the robbers within a few hours, and they were overtakeo beyond Masa, on the Hadj route, in the Desert. The Consulate, certain of recovering the whole and more from the contructoes, advanced to the travellers within two days the sung, which they de clared to have lost, and engaged to do the same on behalf of the drisgontans and muleteers in a few days more. And this is one of the multitude of ways in which our Consul's enemy and influence prevent the Turkish Wane from sub siding to its real level of inefficiency. Ilad application been male to the local government not a piastre would have been recovered, as has been repeatedly proved. The Greek and Russan pilgrims are crowding into Jen saken for their Easter in a few days, and it is expected that the Creek patriarch will come from Constantinople fur the occasion. There is no new Armenian patriirch yet arrived, which is a loss to the sightseers, as his installation would be a splendid spectacle.—l em, &c., S. Jerusalem, May, 1861.

The firemen then went to work, and with the aid of a good supply of water and the hand engines they managed to get the fire extinguished, but very little of the stork was saved. The property was going to the vitriol works at Kennington-park. Lutes OP THE SHIP JOHN, OP LIVERPOIPL..— Report of the barque Actmon, of (lhogow. W.
