THE SUN, The Cork Exhibition has opened under the most favourable auspices. The most sanguine anticipations of its projectors and promoters have been fully and completely verified. The experiment has, indeed, been eminently successful, and there can be but little doubt that the results will be very beneficial, not only to the metropolis of the south and the adjoining counties, but even to the entire of Ireland. The gentlemen who embarked hand and heart in the un dertaking, sparing neither time, trouble, or expense, have ample cause for self-gratulation at the matured fruits of their labours. The invitations which they addressed to the community were promptly and libe rally responded to. Handsome contributions flowed in even from unexpected quarters, and ample funds were Chi's provided. Nor were ample contributions of another description wanting. Specimens of Irish productions, Irish manufactures, and Irish :art, were obtained in great abundance, and to an extent re quiring the erection of a spacious building for their suitable reception. This also was provided with ex traordinary celerity. Two gentlemen of great archi tecturall experience and ability devoted their entire time to the labour of love. Within little more than eix weeks, Sir THOMAS DEANE and Mr. BENSON had designed and superintended the construction of a building admirably suited for the various purposes for which it was required, and containing suites of spa.. cious apartments that reflected the greatest credit on all parties engaged in their erection and decoration. There was no flagging or procrastination. Every , man, even to the humblest labourer employed, ap peared to feel as if the entire matter depended on his individual exertions, and that the itionour of his country was involved in the issue, and they have hnaddeetdheir reward. Th urs d ay , th e 10th o f J un e, w as i " a great d ay for Ireland," and more espe cially so for th e i n h a bi tants and natives of the " beau tiful city" which has taken the lead in this pecu liarly felicitous national movement. We have said that contributions flowed in from many ,unexpected quarters. Mr. C. P. RONBY (for merly the respected secretary of the Eastern Counties Railway Company), a gentleman who has acquired an European reputation for his thorough practical knowledge of the railway system, and ability in developing traffic to toe utmost ex tent, lent his valuable assistance. He can vassed his extensive connexions earnestly end ef fectively, and thus obtained large pecuniary aid. But this was by no means all or even the most valuable portion of his exertions. Through his influence the various railway companies in England, as well as in Ireland, afforded every encouragement to the pro. ject. Not only were articles intended for ex. bibition conveyed gratuitously over the different lines, but a system of cheap fares were prot ,jected calculated to tempt persons to visit Ireland, and behold its natural prod actions and na tural beauties under the most favourable auspices. Toe steam-packet companies co-operated in a similar spirit. None, indeed, who could advance the great national object were idle or apathetic. Many earned for themselves the thanks and gratitude of the people of Ireland, and perhaps none more so than Mr. ittneey, to whose energetic exertions we have above alluded. It would be impossible to over-estimate the many advantages that must follow from the carrying out of tbi s co pe .culiarly f e li c it ous id es , w hi c h was originally "" P "g l and and his QOll.. promulgated by Mr. :DANIEL COBETT highly respeln-laW, Mr. JOHN SHEA, ex-mayor, two only excite 4 feeling and patriotic citizens.

Naturally enough the Peers who spoke yesterday upon the subject expressed, we may say unanimously, their solicitude that no in• terference with the generous course hitherto pursued in this respect towards foreigners by England should be permitted, so as to prejudice the interest of those morally guiltless unfortunates who flew t o t h is i sland from the pursuit o f a relentless enemy. The anxiety felt is that none but actual and recognised criminals may ever be surrendered to the demand of a foreign power after they have once eaten of our salt, and otherwise enjoyed the privilege of our hospitality. According to the original terms of the measure now before the Legislature every Frenchman in this country, as Lord CAMPBELL very ju s tly observed yesterday, would have been placed uncondi tionally at the mercy of the French Government. An alteration, however, has been determined upon by the as may mitigate the severity, presen t Cabinet such and possibly guard against the injustice of the pro posed enactment, by requiring that no party whatso ever shall be. given up to the authorities of the neighbouring R epu bli c unt il a cert ifi cate h as b een re ceived fr om a juge d'instruction. Acknowledging that so far the amendment, was judicious and accept able, the Chief Justice of England expressed considerable hesitation in giving implicit credence to any such certificate. Al though, he said, he could not require evidence against the party accused strictly and tech nically equivalent to what would be sufficient in our law to justify his commitment, still, " unless the Secretary of State took care to exact satisfactory evidence that the party was one who ought to be surrendered, England would lose its distinctive cha racter as affording a safe asylum for the political refugees of all nations." An impressive warning, coming as it does from one of the highest and one of the most sagacious of our legal dignitaries ! An other remark made last evening by Lord CAMPBELL upon the proposed measure, even when im proved by the suggested alteration, is eminently entitled i,to notice, :as one illustrative in a re markable manner of the probable and startling ope ration of the Bill when transformed into an enact ment. " Why," said the Noble and Learned Lord, "if the proposed convention was agreed to, and a change of Government hereafter took place in France, the PRINCE PRESIDENT if he took refuge in England, might himself be given up upon a mere modal d'arrgt, and the certificate of a juge d'instruction." This observation of Lord CAMPBELL we take to be one of sufficient importance to influence the ultimate decision arrived at in this matter by the present chieftain of the French Republican Government. The subject is one of a character so peculiar—affecting as it must necessarily do the future reputation of this country for hospitality and magnanimity— that it is most earnestly to be hoped that in the future stages of the measure it will be subjected to a 3 et more searching examination than it has hitherto ex perienced. Otherwise England may possibly find,in the end, to her dismay, that while hurrying this Surrender of Criminals (Convention with Prance) Bill through Parliament, she has boat the brightest jewel in her crown, the prerogative of mercy. She may dis cover that she has deprived herself, through this precipitate enactment, of the otherwise inalienable privilege of extending the hand of clemency to the political fugitives from the rest of the nations of Christendom. She may perceive that through the unexpected operation of this measure she may be actually decoying the unfortunate into a trap by holding out the hand of magnanimity, as she did to NAPOLEON, and th en , as in that lamentable instance, repaying the confidence of the guest by his virtual immolation. LONDON, SATITRDAY Deargh. We know little of the good people lof Cork if the most kindly hospitality be not extended to every person in any degree entitled to receive it, so that every facility and oppor tunity may be afforded for unequivocal enjoyment without deduction or drawback, and that the time consumed in the trip may be looked back to with ucmitigated satisfaction, and Irishmen and Irish scenes may be hence forward and for ever regarded from a just and accurate point of view. The exa mination of Ireland, under such circumstances, will be exceedingly useful, while so many tempting oppor tunities are afforded for not merely remunerative, but highly profitable investment in that country—oppor tunities which have only been neglected through the prejudices to which we have already referred. To every person who has time and money for an excur sion, we would earnestly commend the Exhibition now open in the south of Ireland, and we venture to assert that none who act upon our advice will ever regret the journey, or declare that their most sanguine anticipations have not been more than realized by their journey. OVERLAND MAIL B URMA H. We have received our usual telegraphic dispatch from Trieste, dated the 10th of June. Our dates from Bombay are to the 12th of May. Nothing was known relative to the future move ments of the expedition, nor of the enemy's proceed ings in the neighbourhood of Rangoon. An advance of the British troops upon Prome was, however, re garded as very improbable. It was reported that a revolution had occurred at Ave, but the report requires confirmation. On the night of the 14th the Burmese attempted to retake Martaban, but were repulsed with loss. Provisions were scarce and of bad qUality. INDIA. We hear that disorders were prevailing in the do minion 3 of the Nizam and Aoud. Sir Colin Campbell set out again on the sth with a force directed to St. Arriver.

Levassor has performed several evenings in the French plays. • His s tyl e i s peculiar and original. His character parts are perhaps his best, for no art can be in its 'way higher or more finished than that with which last night, in the Lait d' Annesse, he per sonated first the broken down and coughing invalid, then the clumsy, stolid peasant, looking a French edition of Buckstone in the Rough Diamond, min gled up throughout with gleams and glimpses of his real character—that of a thoughtless, pleasure-loving, chateau rouge-frequenting young man about Paris. In exhibiting what the French call chique—a sort of artistic slang—in look, speech, and gesture, M. Levassor is perfectly inimitable. Nothing can he more piquante, picturesque, or more true to the school of manners delineated ; while his character parts have a strong and finished individuality which stamp them at once as elaborate and polished creations of the art. Besides the vaudeville, M. .Levassor gave last night one of his comic musical scenes, in which he personated an aspiring member of the opera chorus, singing, indeed, for eighty francs per month, and debarred by his en gagement from ever being hoarse or having a cold, but as a pri mo t enore, h e w ill ut de Poitrine, an d p oc ket a a s a t t o ic u i n p d at t i h n e g h th o e us t e im w e it v h ih h e i n s , the yearly hundreds of thousands of francs of the Rubinis and the Marios. The make-up and awkward look of the artist as a mechanical singing noble or retainer in the chorus was richly droll. In the imita tions of well-known personages in the choral portions of .Der Freyschutz and Masaniello, the manner of chorus-singers was capitally preserved, and the au dience were convulsed at the lamentable break-down when he essays some wondrous note far up in the cloud-land of alt. The earlier part of the entertain ment consisted of the comedy of LaDerniere Confuete, enriched by the , delicate humour and crisp finish of style of M. Lafont. HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. Madlle. Coulon's• annual concert took place at the above rooms yesterday. With all the brilliancy o f the most dexterous executionist, Madlle. Coulon has an elegance and purity of style, a clearness and deli cacy of touch, a truthfulness and intensity of ex pression, which many an older and more celebrated artist might vainly strive to imitate or equal. That the audience were as much charmed with her per formance as ourselves was sufficiently evidenced by the attention paid to the lengthy yet sparkling, and in passages beautiful, trio in E flat of Shubert (in which she was supported by Sainton and Piatti), and the rapturous applause and double encore of the Fantasia (Lucia) of Prudent. That Madame E. Garica was encored in Rode's air, it if', perhaps, hardly necessary to say. Notwithstanding the diffident, we might almost say nervous, manner of Miss Barclay, in that delicious rnorgeau, "L'addio," of Shubert, the ap plause with which she was interrupted at the close of the first stanza appeared to reassure her, and she pro ceeded with the second with a spirit that rendered more strikingly effective the touchingly pathetic con clusion. Miss Birch's name is a "tower of strength," and may well pass without comment. The varied and attractive programme included, in addition to•the above, the names of Miss Lascelles, Miss Kate Hick son, Mr. Swift, Signor Ciabatta and Mr. Frank Bodda. The instrumentalists were : violin, Sainton ; violincello, Piatti; contra basso, Bottesini, and clarionet, M. Wuille. The whole arrangements were most creditable to the conductors, Signor Bellini and Signor Pilotti, and were evidently highly satisfactory to the numerous auditory, of whom, as aeems to be pretty generally the case at morning concerts, the great majority were of the gentler sex, WILLIS'S ROOMS. Mr. Carter Lee repeated his Sketches and Scratches last night at Willis's Rooms. The programme is not constructed upon any regular plan, or with any pal pable motive, but is simply a collection of anecdotes concerning music and its professors; the peculiarities of some of the most distinguished of the latter being pleasantly portrayed in song and story. Mr. Carter Lee has managed to get together a copious assem blage of whimsicalities, written or adapted, it may be presumed, by himselc. He plays on the pianoforte sufficiently well for the purposes of accompaniment; and is also a violinist, a flautis, and a concertina per former, in each of which capacities he introduces a solo. The phantasmagoria of Alfred Crowquill are pretty things of their kind, and the spectra steal into shape and evanish with all the precision that the lec turer requires. The rooms last night were fashionably attended, and Mr. Carter Lee was frequently ap plauded during the progress of his labours. CABINET CuUNCIL.—(Tars DAY.) A Cabinet Council, summoned last evening, was held at the Foreign_ office to-day at one o'clock. There were present, Lord Derby (Premier), Lord Hardwicke (Postmaster-Ganerall Lord Lonsdale (President), Lord John Manners, the Duke of Northumberland, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Henley, Mr. Herries, Mr. Spencer Walpole, Sir John Pack ington, Lord Malmesbury, the Marquis of Salisbury, and the Lord Chancellor. The Ministers were on the eve of breaking up when we went to press. FEES AT THEATEES.—A case of some interest was heard on Wednesday at the Bloomsbury County Court, in volving the right of taking Is. as a fee for retaining places for a particular evening. On the 22d of M,y,:the Hon. Mr. Lyttleton took a stall at the Princess's Theatre, for which ho paid the usual price of ad m i ss i on an d an a dditional shilling for ;bookiug the place. • Mr. Lyttleton summoned Mr. Charles Kean for a return of the Is. fee, alleging in person that as Mr. Kean, by his advertisements and bills, held out to the public that stalls were to be had at 6s. it was a con tract with the public for that sum. On the other side, Mr. Lewis (Lewis and Lewis), who appeared for Mr. Kean, contended that the public, by the contract, was to hare a stall when the doors were open, and not when a .g per son went to the box-office and had th e pr i v il ege o f picking out a stall, by which an advantage was gained, and for which a fee ought to be paid. Further it was urge d that, as it was a voluntary payment on the part of th e p l a i n tiff, he could not in law recover it back; and, also, th a t cus t om san ctioned the charge. The box-office keepers of the several metropo litan theatres gave evidence of the oustom of charging a fee in such case?. The Learned Judge (Mr. Heath) confirmed the custom, by giving judgment for the defendant with costs of witnes3es, amounting to 305., which the plaintiff had to pay. This decision will settle the question—th e fi rs t time raised—in the theatrical profession. EAST SIIFFOLK.—IPSWICEf, JUNE 11.--We un derstand that the prospects of the Protectionist champion, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, have become very far from encouraging to his partisans, a candidate having been started in opposition to the learned gentleman. Mr. Sutton Western, the son of Bin T. B. Western, of Tattingston-place, in this county, is, we understand, in the field, and as there can be no doubt that he will receive the support of the whole of free-trade portion of the constituency, there is every chance :of his ultimate success. Richard Nathaniel Philipps, Esq., of the Inner Temple, and Moor Lodge, Yorkshire, is canvassing the borough of Stafford on the Liberal interest. The last state ball of the season will he given at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday next. The Court will proceed to Scotland immediately after the dissolution of Parliament. N.

The increase in the amount of bullion in the Bank of England's coffers is to the extent mentioned under this head yesterday, and it is said the next returns will show a further addition. The circulation, in the mean , time, is very little added to, although large pUrchases of Go vernment securities appear to have been made on ac count of the Bank, and for the purpose of employing its aurplue assets, but the increase of public deposits will account for the addition to the circulation of paper:— Notes Issued ... 34,352,260 Increase .165,145 ... 3,065,992 ... ... 11,036 ... 6,119,961 553,662 ... 13,030,750 151,632 Rest Dcorea Public Deposits ...

APOTHECARIES, HALL. -- The following are the names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thursday, June 10 :—Joseph Hooper, Milton terrace, Wandsworth-road ; Ezekiel John Lock, Barton, Norfolk; Henry Richard Foquett, Newcastle Emlyn, Cardi gan; William Price Jones, Bala, North Wales; John Henry Hewer, Chobham, Surrey; James Rolph, London; Thomas William Damant, Fakenham, Norfolk; James Balfour, Cockburn, Guernsey; Benjamin Lawrence Hawkins, as an assistant. The mercantile advices from Vienna of the Bth inst. state that the favourable alteration in the rates of exchange had been followed by a re-action, the quotation on London having again risen from 11.59 to 12.7. In the money market the chief event had been an extraordinary advance in the shares of the Northern Railway, which about six weeks ago were at 150, and had 'now re ;shed 213. This movement had been partly caused ,by the failUre of another speculative operator in addition to one who", after having sold largely, refused a short time back to meet , his obligations. Gold was still at 291 premium, and silver at 21. Trade in all parts of Germany contirues' bad, 'owing to the de pression in the districts which have been visited with famine. The accounts from Breslau state that the wool fair which commenced on the 3d inst. had terminated after a rapiod sale, during the whole of which the advance ob tained at the opening was fully upheld. This advance was equal to 2d. to 3d. per lb. on fine, and 3d. to 4d. on ordinary descriptions. The French buyers were the most active, and next to them the English and Belgian. It appears that the total quantity brought to market was 55,500 cwt., being a deficiency of 6,300 cwt. as compared with last year, which also es compared with the preceding one showed a falling off of like amount. This continued diminution, coupled with the fact that the clip in Austria for the present season hsis been 12 per cent. below the previous one, was a circumstance that attracted atten tion. The • other fairs which would take place in Prussia during the month were expected to pass off well, as the wools offered at them consist of those ordinary descriptions which were most in demand at Breslau.

SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF PART OF THE PRESI DENT :STEAMER.— ( From a Liverpool Correspondent.)-- A short time since a piece of the wreck of a large steam vessel, composed of 17 timbers, and measuring 23 feet square, was towed ashore near Pennan, Banffshire, which was ascer tained beyond all doubt to, have formed part of a large steam-ship, and was conjectured to have been a piece of the long-lost and mysteriously-fated President ,A * minute de scription h oipfpt Shipping p G o r a t eionu Gazette o f f wreck; Wednesday,h o w e v e t r h , e having e ras p o p f e a re thed t e a n r g y in o e f s o t f h t e h e Liverpool the h u a i v i e d r a w d r d i r t e e s r s e e , d Associationt, he s tsaetcireeg that the description given does not correspond in any parti cular with the construction of the President, thus leaving the fate of that steamer as dark as ever, besides• showing that some other gigantic marine fabric has met a similar, fate.

During the .confusion which prevailed Whilst the fire was burning, it was the opinion of the P rj- ; cipals of the firm that 100000 L would not cover tb o , loss. As soon, however, as the ruins were suffinic ri k i ,,, , cooled, a minute examination was made by the "e 1; Bade officials for the purpose of ascertaining correc tl y the damage done, the result of which showed , IL'a one floor, used as the type store, and which c ontains upwards Ct 200 tons of type, so me o f t h e r letter being worth 6s. per lb., had not well; near so much injury as was at one time e; ,),- petted, Mr. Cl owea i n f ormed the reporter that 1 51 whole of the whit e paper had been destroyed, es, Well as the numerous printed a n d illustrated works ill ; : p . stores.

In vain did th!.:, be r , men endeavour to cut off the fire from the ."' t he portions of this property; so intense wa s, 2 ,o' heat that the windows in the letter-foun ds casting.shops were cracking and the frames *v ci i r , scorching, so that it was necessary for the men to re charge the water upon the last-named premises to P oe, vent their ignition.

LITERATURF. THE 1100KLRIES OF LONDOI.V. By Tho- mas Beanies. The author of this work has doubtless taken great rains in its composition. But instead of giving a b ig ' tory of the London rookeries as from the title we were led t o b e li eve, he bas rather chosen to trace back certain-ecclesiastical palaces, the remains of which ar e still to be f oun d in St. Giles's and other pl ace s of the kind. He d escr ib es at length the depravity and wan t of cleanliness o f t h ose who inhabit rookeries and the necessity of their removal, with some statistical 13 ' counts regarding the population and mortality tables ; but on what grounds Mr. Beanies attributes the dis; tress of need!e-women and p overty i n genera l t o rookeries we are at a loss to determine. The de; scription of the Gre a t Fi re of London, with whi ch the work terminates, is decidedly the most interesting part of it. Bally, Brothers.
