of the party opposed to it. If the decision should be ad verse to the Government, I think, without going into the comparative merits of individuals, the ranks of the Liberal party will afford the means of forming a Government quite as efficient as that now sitting on the benches opposite. (Cheers and laughter.) Having lost three of its most im portant members, looking at the remnant of this shat t e red administration, I think it is no great presumption on our part to say that it is possible to form a government com bining elements deserving of as much co n d enconfidence as any that can be found on the Treasury bench. But if should be defeated it would be much better than to continue in our present course. (Cheers and laughter.) lam not in the least daunted by the indications which come in inar ticulate sounds from gentlemen on. the other side. If they consider themselves in a majority, I would rather it should be proved by counting in the two lobbies t han consent to the continuance of the present unconstitutional course of proceeding. If gentlemen opposite have reasons to urge against the amendment, let the nation hear what they have to say—let the country, and let Bur* know the grounds on which they claim the confidence of the country. There are plenty of gentlemen on this side of the house prepared to answer them, and then we shall be prepared . to accept the vote as conclusive evi dence of the real opin ions of the people. Mr. Sergeant DEASY now moved the adjournment of the debate. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER suggested that it should be resumed on Thursday. The suggestion was acceded to, and the house ad journed at half-past twelve. O N CE A WEEK. A Miscellany of Literature, Art, Science, and Popular Information.

The adjournment of the debate until Thursday still leaves in suspense the fate of her MAJESTY'S Government. By Friday night, or Saturday morn ing at the latest, the decision of the new House of Commons will have been announced unmistakeably by the tellers either of the Treasury or of the Opposition. Whatever may be the political predi lections of different individuals, we do sincerely believe there is but one unanimous feeling as to the paramount hope at this moment to be cherished by all parties and sections of parties without distinc tion. An earnest, almost prayerful, hope that however the decision may go, it may be one unmis takeable in its character. What England wants at this moment is a strong Government—not a Government upon sufferance--not a Government ', fi n ding strength alone in the weakness caused by the division of its antagonists. The existence at, this period of a great and growing, a fierce and sanguinary war in the very heart of the European ontinent, is of itself a sufficient reason why every loyal Englishman should wish to have the hands of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, whoever those Mini sters may be, strengthened to the very uttermost, That tremendous conflict has but just now been frightfully signalised by a eruggle so desperate, so prolonged, and so destructive, that it might tempt Professor CREASY to add a supplement to his historic masterpiece. It is difficult to believe that a war thus illustrated at its very outset by a pitched battle in which the armies actually engaged in the field numbered the frightful aggregate of 250,000 men, in which altogether from 25,000 to 30,000 men were within the brief compass of one single day placed hors de combat—in which, if but a comparatively few cannon and standards were captured, from 7,000 to 8,000 men were taken prisoners—it is difficult to imagine a war, thus marked at its very commencement by the evidence of its extraordinary magnitude and desperation, can be expected to burn itself out within the limits of the Lombardo-Venetian territory, not spreading further west than the borders of Savoy, further east than the shores of the Adriatic, further south than the frontier of the neutral principalities, or further north than the range of the Carpathians. It is still more difficult to count implicitly upon the restriction of the war exclusively to the space n2mprised in these narrow boundaries—when all Germany is fiercely and jealously watching the prog ress of the contest, sword grasped in hand ready to obey the signal for an advance against the imagined foe of Fatherland! When the legions of the CZAR are m uster i ng in ustering expectation of some great but mysterious emergency upon the borders of all those expectant Sclavonie nationalities. When even the effete councils of the SULTAN CALIPH are hastening the organisation of an army in the vicinity of Montenegro I When 10,000,000 Hungarians are listening in breathless expectation for the tocsin t o sound anew for the general rising' to be led on once more Hand o r re agaiin h s is t ,the imperilled rule of Austria by R floadjutors! These and many other probable dove / opments of the present war in Lombardy are seognised on all sides as imminent possibilities. A udthus recognised there cannot but be one u a ive4sal hope of patriotism among all parties in the House and out of the House—Whigs and Tories, Radicals and Peelites, Liberals and Conservatives—the hope above all and beyond all, that come what may out of the division, which, at the close of either Thursday or Friday's sittings, must terminate the discussion now adjourned to the former evening, England may at least and at last obtain a strong Government. In writing thus we are perfectly aware that the new House of Commons is, if possible, yet more equally balanced than its immediate pre decessor. We cannot, therefore, in reason, anticipate, in any eventuality, any consi derable majority—whether to the side of the Opposition, or to the side of the Government. We believe that the division will be very close, and more than this that it will—in spite of Lord PAL MERSTON'S bumptious confidence--run, in this manner, in favour of the existing Administration. But what we would urgently insist upon in either case is this—that result, however the division may—to the confirmation of power in the hands of Lord DERBY and his colleagues, or to the transference of power to a new and compre hensive coalition of hitherto dissentient sec- tions from the side of the Opposition—the House of Commons should at once accept that division as decisive, should regard it, at any rate for some time to come as final, should award a patriotic support to whatever Ministry it may result in ! That Par liament in fine should, by a patriotic postponement of merely party struggles, after this for one rational interval—however that interval may eventually come to be restricted by at present unforeseen circumstances strengthen the power of the Executive, and enable the Govern ment (whether Derbyite or Anythingite), to carry on the business of the country for some time to come with a due regard to the interests of the country, with a proper consideration for the dig nity of the Crown, and a reasonable prospect of so resuming the unembarrassed exercise of the na tional influence in the councils of Europe, that, through that influence, so exercised under the blessing of GOD, peace may be happily restored to Christendom. These are the earnest hopes we do in our heart—we do from our con science—believe to be the most dearly cherished at this moment (upon the eve of this momentous divi sion in the House of Commons) by all ranks and classes of patriotic Englishmen. The " ulterior" results of that division in strengthening some Go vernment—be it the Government of Lord DERBY or be it the Government of Lord DERBY'S successor —are looked to by the country at large with far more solicitude by all right-minded and loyal Englishmen than the " immediate" effects of that division in deciding the alternative between this or that Administration. Meanwhile, there are significant intimations we cannot but recognise, affording some reasonable grounds of conjecture as to the character and bear ing of that immediate result of the amendment upon the Address, moved from the side of the Opposition. Several of those significant in dications may be enumerated briefly and cate gorically. To begin with, as we all know, perfectly well by this time—Government, strong in the last House by reason of its compactness and unity, as compared with the division of its antago nists of the Opposition, resumes its place in the new House with the ranks of its avowed supporters considerably strengthened. Government, in other words, to be plain, had 277 supporters in the last House" of Commons. It has 303 supporters in the present House of Commons. It has gained, otherwise to express it, twenty-six seats in consequence of its frank and manly appeal to the Country upon this very question now coming directly before the House itself, the simple and perfectly comprehensible question of Confidence, or No Confidence. Those twenty-six seats being consequently ab stracted from the opponents of the Government count in favour of the latter exactly double upon a division, namely, in all, just fifty-two. The " In dependents," even before the giving those fifty-two direct votes to Ministers—the " Independents," even when lured by the specious and illusory, and most Insidious, become simply vague and factious reso lutions of Lord JOIIN RUSSELL—the "Indepen dents," even in the last House of Commons. under those far more advantageous circumstances for the chances of the Opposition—so divided among themselves that the Opposition, even then, only contrived to secure a clear majority of thirty-nine in a House of 626 members ! And the chiefs among those " Independents" now —what tokens do they already give of the course they are about to pursue under circumstances, as already seen, far more auspicious for Her MAJESTY'S Government ? Mr. ROEBUCK is dead against Lord PALMERSTON, and those who would co-operate with Lord PALMERSIFON in striving by every means and by every sacrifice of principle to turn out the existin g Administration. Mr. HORSMAN is as man fully opposed as ever to any mere party move, contrived alone for the especial advan tage of what Mr. DISRAELI, with his poignant wit, dubbed, last night, by a sneer of sub lime derision, the educated section ! Even Mr. BRIGHT don't half like taking up for good and all —or for bad and all, as the case may be—with that tEolus of Europe, my Lord PALMERSTON ! We don't count much, of course, upon the Independence of Mr. BRIGHT now—after all his " soft sawder " to the champions of the Great Families, and after all his base and insolent ingratitude to the very Press that helped him to his own reputation. There is a fascination even, we dare say, to a Quaker with- a stand-up collar and a broad-brim to his hat, in the title of —Right Honourable. ' But even—through all this—even Mr. BRIGHT is faintly waver ing. We know well enough from our past experience of his conduct and character how he will inevitably n in the end—but even he at this eleventh hour is actually given to a pretence of wavering. While Mr. ROEBUCK, however, is vindicating to the last his undimmed repute as a Tribune of the People—while Mr. HORSMAN and others are signally evidencing their right to the proud title of " Independent"—are there not already among the new Liberal members just returned to Parliament supplementary indica tions of the result of the coming division—indica tions full of encouragement to the more golden hopes of the present Government ? As if -in answer to this—did not the House of Commons hear last night and cheer last night the bold, frank, unhesitating avowal made by Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR, the honourable and learned gentleman who so gallantly conquered by a coup de main even a high and mighty City magnate like th!G h Go vern or of England— van ms e M r.

The bo T r h o e u p g at the last be but small; but in hcl a e n aorf Southamptoncase , ma j o r it yan d r ainayevery case, the House of Commons must see after wards that it is decisive —namel y, giving us for some time to . come whatesrwonmmeeelniaA certainly not been ive a u llo as we a d n t e o ffi p c o i s e s n e t ss G f o o v r past, a strong as The details of the battle of Magenta are still wanting. The French and Austrians give very different accounts of the -transaction. According to the former, a treat and decisive victory was gained on Saturday, which ought to have enabled the allies to enter Milan, which had been evacuated by the enem y, with the exception of a garrison left in the citadel. But they have not advanced, and there seems to be no doubt that the battle was renewed on Sunday, and that the result is not yet known. There were an enormous body of soldiers engaged on both sides. The French state that there were 180,000 Austrians, and 120,000 of the Allied troops. We must, however, receive these statements with some degree of reserve, and also those relating to the killed, wounded, and prisoners. If 20,000 Austrians were placed hors de combat, and 7,000 taken prisoners, the slaughter would have equalled, if it did not exceed any of the great and decisive battles recorded in history. There was not greater bloodshed at Waterloo, or at Austerlitz. or *liked at any of the memorable contests during the middle ages. • The second day's combat must have been equally sanguinary, although wt know nothing of the THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1859, result, and the loss on both sides must have been very serious. Taking' all these matters into consideration, the battle of Magenta will, we believe, turn out to be one of the great conflicts that exercises a lasting influence on the welfare and stability of nations. We shall look with much anxiety for the authentic accounts of the termina tion of the transaction. If the Austrians are re treating rapidly, as has been asserted, they will probably be glad to make the concessions that will be urged on them by the British, and we should hope the Prussian, Government. It is full time that their rule in Italy, which should never have been tolerated, should cease ; and if they are wise, they will adopt such measures as will induce the peoples of Hungary and Gallicia to remain in some degree contented with the rule to which they are compelled to submit. Without Lombardy and Venice, without in any degree interfering in Italian affairs, Austria will still have a very extensive territory and numerous subjects. She will, in fact, save money by avoiding the undue meddling in the affairs of other States in which she has previously indulged, and thus be enabled to meet more successfully the pecuniary demands on her exchequer. This is an important matter, and one which cannot be lost sight of even by an Imperial General. It is satisfactory to know that her MAJESTY'S Government are determined to preserve a strict and impartial neutrality under any circumstances that may arise—that they will not be induced to let the blood of our brave soldiers, or the money of the overweighted taxpayers to be expended in such a cause, where neither party can obtain our sympathies. We should greatly desire to see Italy free from German mal-administration ; but we greatly doubt if giving it over to LOUIS NAPOLEON would not be merely a removal from the frying-pan into the fire, which would by no means benefit those subjected to the operation. We must, of course, keep up a high state of prepa ration for any contingency that may arise. It is all important that our navy should be so constituted as to be prepared to meet the united navies of any other nations that could by any possibility be brought against us. England is, with abundant reason, proud of her wooden walls. She will never willingly, or for any pettifogging saving, relinquish the maritime supremacy which has so long been her acknowledged right. The moment she should do so she would sacrifice .her position in the scale of nations, and she would sink into a a second or third rate power, compelled to submit to the dictation of her continental neighbours. This will never be submitted to so long as Great Britain has a man or a shilling to expend. The process may be costly, but it is indispensable. We cannot avoid it ; and whatever additional burdens may be imposed on us for the purpose, we must submit to them with willing hearts, and pass bravely through the pecuniary ordeal to which we may be exposed. The lives of our men must be spared, but the best security for peace is, always to be prepared for war. It is an assurance against fire which every prudent man and every prudent nation would not disregard. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA COVENT, GARDEN. An extra performance took place on Monday even ing, when Meyerbeer's opera of " Les Huguenots" was given. Madame Grisi and Signor Mario filled the principal parts, and it is unnecessary to say that their performances were entirely successful. The characters of Raoul and Valentine afford ample scope for the display of dramatic power. Ma dame- Grisi's fine acting was fully equal to the occasion. The duet in the third act, in the scene between Raoul and Valentine, in the castle of De Nevers, was especially effective, and was warmly applauded by the audience. Mdlle. Marai was graceful Marguerite de Valois, and Madlle. Didiee was very successful in the small but important role of Urbano. M. Zelger acquitted himself creditably in the difficult part of the old Huguenot, Marcel, though without distinguishing himself particularly. The other parts were well filled up, and the choruses went off very satisfactorily. The anathema by the monks in the third act was given with great effect. Last evening, in accordance with the general desire, Rossini's opera of "La Gazza ladra" was repeated, and Mdlle. Lotti's rendering of the part was as successful as on the former occasions. Her pure voice and careful singing were displayed to full effect in the arduous part of Minetta, and her acting of the unfortunate heroine was natural and pathetic. Mdlle. Didill again appeared as Pippo, and was very favourably received. Ronconi's performance of the unworthy magistrate was as good as on the former occasions; and Tagliafico and Gardoni, as the father mid lover, were both excellent. The house was fully and fashionably attended, and the performances warmly applauded. On Thursday's Flotow's opera of " Martha" will be given, when Mdlle. Lotti will be the prima donna. WYLD'S MAPS OF THE WAR. 1. Wyld's Military Map of the Theatre of War. 2. Wyld's Theatre of War ; Quartermaster-General's Map. No. I. Mr. Wyld, as usual, keeps abreast of the wants of the day with his excellent maps, The first of these includes the entire territories adjacent to the war : the south of Germany, south-west of France, Austria, Switzerland, part of Bavaria, as well as Piedmont and Lombardy, with the Duchies [of Farina and Modena, and the States of the Church as far as Ancona, and Tuscany as far as Leghorn. Though, from its comprehensiveness, on the scale of 20 miles to an inch, we find the names of nearly all the small est places yet referred to in 't ; while it presents the whole scene to the eye at once. The second map covers but the extent of country in which military operations have been, or are now, conducted, and indicates the positions of the troops. It is on the large scale, thetefore, of three miles to an inch, and gives every place great and small. We can not too strongly recommend it to all who wish to obtain p, clear conception of the various movements. We found its aid, for instance, invaluable in drawing up the resume of the invasion of , Piedmont by the Austrians, and their final repulse, which we laid before our readers yesterday. TSB NAVI'. The Pearl, 21, screw steam corvette, Captain L. S. Sotheby, arrived at Spithead late on Monday evening from Calcutta, Trincomalee, and the Cape of Good Hope. She was 37 days from Trincomalee to the Cape, and, after stay ing there 10 days, sailed on the 12th of April for England, calling at St. Helena. The weather has been fine the passage home, with light winds until in about 37 N., when strong north and north-east winds were met with. The Pearl was commissioned on the 21st of December, 1855, by Captain Sotheby, her present commander. Preparations were being made at Plymouth for docking the iron screw steam storeship Himalaya, Commander John Seccombe, hourly expected. The following Austrian ships, wlich have escaped the vigilance of French and Sardinian cruisers, arrived at Fal mouth on Sunday, and will remain there, viz.,—the Armenia, from Alexandria, with cotton seed ; the Dussan, from Matanzas, with rum ; and the steamer Beppi, from Marathonisi, with timber and oil; the first and last were bound to London direct. The cargo of the Austrian brig Ljubica, consisting of sugar from the Havanna, is being transhipped by the steam vessel Metropolitan for Glasgow, after remaining some timo at Falmouth. The Danish barque Herrmann, Ceptain Andresen, from Hayti, April 28, for Copenhagen, was off Plymouth on Mon day, and reported that on Sunday afternoon, about 16 miles south-west of Scilly, she passed a ship of war lying to—she was barque-rigged and of the same class as the steam sloop Virago. The following appointments were made at the Admiralty yesterday :—Captain E. G. Fanshawe, to the Trafalgar, commissioned ; Capt. Sir W. Hoste, to the Neptune, com missioned; Lieut. C. 0. B. Hall, to the Victory; Lieut. C. R. Buckle, to the Aboukir ; B. J. Hooper, Master, to the Trafalgar; D. Mg/ Jago, Master, to the Neptune; J. B. Wells, Master, to the Cornwallis ; R. P. J. Simpson, Master, to the Dauntless; John Thompson, Master, to the Himalaya ' • W. H. Richards, Paymaster, to the Dauntless ; and F. M. Luther, Acting Assistant-Surgeon, to the Hima laya. Mr. C. R. Buckle, Mr. R. G. S. Pasley, and Mr. E. J. Jermain, Mates, were yesterday promoted to the rank of Lieutenants. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort honoured the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden, last evening, with their presence. The Royal suite consisted of Viscountess Jocelyn, the Hon.

MONEY MA CITY, Two o'CLocx. The continuous arrivals :of specie from America and Australia have prevented an important efflux from the Bank of England, for the ex port demand is so active that in the absence of sufficient supplies the metallic reserves in Threadneedle•street would have been trenched upon to a considerable extent. As it is, how evdr, the requirements of the bullion dealers have not only been provided for, but there has been a balance available for the Bank, and the return to be published on Friday next will no doubt exhibit, like its predecessor, an increase !n the item of " bul lion." A continuance of the movement, combined with the quietude of the money-market, may ulti mately induce the authorities to reduce their terms of discount, especially as the minimum is now nearly one per cent. under the value of dis count accommodation in the open market. The demand for money continues exceedingly quiet, and the requirements of the commercial public, which are very limited, are freely met on extremely easy terms. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon importance. About was no alteration of About £20,000 in gold, principally Rupian, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. To-day a call of £4 10s. per share, or £249,997, becomes due on the Bombay and Baroda Railway. The bar silver brought by the last West India packet has been disposed of at 62d. per oz., being a decline of id. compared with that realised for the consignment by the previous steamer. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with a very quiet appear ance, and only 5,000 bales sold at about previous rates. In the Railway Share Market business was less active, but prices continued very firm. The half-yearly meeting of the African Steam Company took place to-day—P. Hadow, Esq., in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the new contract with her Majesty's Government had been performed in a satisfactory manner dur ing the last six months. The revenue account showed a credit balance of £5,904 17s. 3d. avail able for dividend, but the directors did not recom mend it to be more than 7s. per share, being at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The report was adopted unanimously. The meeting of the Atlantic Telegraph Company is now being held at the London Tavern. The market for English Securities opened firmly, and indications of buoyancy soon became visible. The improvement was equal to per cent., but since then the Rentes have been reported A per cent. lower, and the Funds have consequently receded to the extent of t, per cent. Consols for transfer have been 941, but they are now 931 2 4 . For July the highest point attained was 94, and the present quo tation is 93! A very limited business has been transacted on speculative account. The New Threes have advanced to 9211 y ; the Reduced to 921 931 ; and Long Annuities to 17 13-16ths. India Loan Debentures are steady at 941; and Exchequer Bills at 19s. to 235. Kem. In Foreign Securities a fair amount of business is recorded ; prices, however, in most instances show little improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 67 to 69 ; ditto New, 561 to 571 ; but the 4 per Cents. are flat, at 102. Mexican has advanced to 174 18 ; Portuguese to 42 43 ; Russian 5 per Cents. to 104 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. to 411 ; ditto De ferred to 281 29 ; and Brazilian v i per Cents., 1852, to 90 and 91 ; ditto 5 per Cents. are steady at 100 ; and the 41 per Cents., 1858, at 91. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and rather less buoyancy has been apparent. North Western, Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln, and North Eastern (Berwick), have declined 55., and Eastern Counties 103. to 15s. Great Northern, Great Western, and North Eastern ( York) advanced about 103. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has been very little activity. Great Luxembourg and Northern of France have realised former rates. Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares have advanced to 61 61, and the New Shares to 6 and 61. Great Indian Peninsula are firm at 98. East Indian have improved to 1001 1001. Eastern Bengals to 4, and Punjaubs to 3 1 ,4 31-1. For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been scarcely any enquiry.

The mournful proceeding of removing the coffin con taining the remains of that distinguished general, Sir Thomas Picton, from the cemetry of St. George's, Hanover square, in which they were hastily interred after the field of Waterloo, to the depository of our national heroes at the Cathedral Church of St, Paul's, took place this morning. There was little military ceremony used on the occasion. The coffin containing the remains of the departed soldier was simply placed on a gun carriage , covered with the colours of England, and attended by a small party of Artillery. The 'first mourning coach contained J. Picton, Esq., Col. Verriker, Col. Bagot, and General Wood. The second, the Rector of St. George's, Hanover-square ; Mr. Stanley, and Dr. Bruver. The third, Hr. Cooper, Mr. Wester ton, and Mr. Tre herne. Then followed one of the Royal carriages, next, the car riage of Mr. S. Estcourt, representing tho Government, then thai belonging to Field Alarshal Lord Strafford, and several others. Precisely at one o'clock the coffin was received at the south door of St. Paul's Cathedral, by the Dean and Canons, by whom it was immediately conducted to the crypt—the great boll tolling and the organ pealing forth " The Dead March in Saul." Without a word being spoken, and amidst profound silence, the coffin was lowered into its final resting-place, near the tomb of his illustrous commander, the late Duke of Wellington. The coffin was of the plainest description. It to all appearance was fashioned out of six plain oak boards, without the slightest attempt at ornamentation, but of im mense weight as it was with difficulty supported by 12 men. Among those present in addition to the mourners were Lord Gough, Sir J. Burgoyne, Sir It. Gardner, Sir Thomas Brotherton, Sir J. Jackson, Sir Hugh Ross, &c., &c. The arrangements for the removal were confided to Mr. Banting, of St. James's, and were carried out in the most admirable manner. THE BURNING OF THE EASTERN MONARCH.— PORTSMOUTH, Tuesday.—The adjourned inquest, before Mr. Cooper, the borough coroner, on the bodies of the sufferers who lost their lives by the burning of the ship Eastern Monarch, at Spithead, on the 3d instant, was re sumed yesterday afternoon, at the Quebec Hotel, but' the evidence given did not throw any fresh light on the cause of the catastrophe, which it was suggested might have arisen from the saltpetre on board. The coroner, In his address to the jury, regretted that the Council for India did not provide for the return of troops to England in ships that were not freighted with combustible materials. The jury returned a veadict of " Accidental Death." . - • MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS (SOUTH LONDON DISTRICT.)—The usual annual sheet of this dis trict, for the year 1855, has just been issued. It appears, that, out of 3,895 members, there were sick 772, who re ceived sick pay amounting to £2,045. 53 members died, besides 28 wives and widows of members. A pithy table contains an account of the sickness and mortality experienced during the past seven years ; and the total shown to have been paid for sickness, fir, nerals, and to widows and orphans, in that time, is £29,976. The statement is highly creditable to the district, which is in a flourishing state—having now 4;023 members (average ago 35 years), and a surplus capital of £33,524, of which about £263 only belongs to the Distress Fund. From all other funds members claim benefits as a right, but this is intended to relieve extra ordinary cases ; and, to increase the fund, on the 2d and 3d of August the Odd Fellows of the metropolitan dis tricts hold their annual fete at the Crystal Palace. On this occasion the usual attractions will be enhanced by a special popular out-door entertainment, under the direction of Mr. Nelson Lee, the well-known manager. Madame Pauline Violante, "the celebrated aseensionist the Atlantic wire," will pass over the great basin during the time that the fountains are playing ; tba Jamieson family, the brothers St. Leon, and "the renowned Sam Collins, the great delineator of Irish character," with various other entertainers, will appear. A tent for dancing will be erected, and a double military band will be in at tendance. Arrangements have been made with the various railway companies to run special trains op. both, days ; and and the additiOnal music, we doubt not t 1,4 antertainments h f lc lin a t t a tr i4 ae l ti ti v l e 9 , f e:::: 8 ; a large surplus for the the cricket matches, w w i l ll at pr wi ov t e h the widows and orlAngt§ 41 whose behalf they have been provided, ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. osin g Business Share Railways.
