It is now perfectly useless to gested the execution of an architect from a hope that resist the changes that have been introduced with intimidation might be found more effectual in its the assent and approbation of an immense majority good results than competition perpetrated with sin- of the people.

With Mr. a sympathetic f ee li ng i n nels, rendering the new code advantageous to the this matter between DISRAELI and th e Chi e f community, and not sacrificing from a ridiculous Commissioner o f W oo ds and Forests, we might at etiquette or absurd pride the substantial interests of length have som e prospect of real decoration to the the junior members of the profession. If all such capital, both in regard to its public edifices and its persons applied themselves earnestly to advancing, in principal monuments. Previously, moreover, we place of retarding, the cause of legal reforms, the might have the happy chance of a gigantic a n d en ti re system would be placed upon a foundation surely most desirable attempt at removal and exter- eminently conducive to the welfare and prosperity of mination. If the bronze hobgoblin on the top of the the nation. triumphal arch be not dragged down from a position frightfully consp i cuous—at any rate the ginger -beer g v e e r r beer bottles on the dumbwaiters opposite the National Gallery might yield their site to some less paltry experiment in the construction of a couple of fountains. The pigtail of his Most Gracious Ma jesty King GEORGE 111. might be shortened by about two feet and a half—stirrups might support Ithe feet of the royal groom near St. Martin's Church—a companion figure (if that were possible) might be found for the opposite pedestal—the horn like extremity of the lightning conductor might be humanely extracted from the head of his Royal High ness the Duke of YORK—another bronze be inserted in the empty socket still blurring, as with a stone blind look, the west side of the NELSON testimo nial, and four British lions be at length coaxed up Parliament-street, to become as permanent squatters in the neighbourhood of Charing-cross, as even those distinguished artists known as the Royal Academicians. Eventuelly:even, it might be practicable to embellish the front of the present Na tional Gallery, with a view to transform it into a structure worthy of crowning what is absurdly called " the finest site in Europe"—a site, by the w'ey, not to be mentioned in the same breath with Calton Hill, or the centre of Sackviilesstreet, or the gorgeous and imperial Place du Carrousel. Latterly much has been effected in the cleared direction. The British Museum has been rendered an edifice worthy of its designation. Buckingham Pa lace, although rendered sowewhat ridiculous by the heraldic gambols of the lion and the unicorn at the centre gate, has been no less singularly improved in external appearances than in internal arrangements : while the new Houses of Parliament have assumed to themselves, with the florid beauty of their Gothic architecture, a distinction only inferior to the modern basilica of St. Paul's and the venerable cathedral at Westminster. What is next required is unquestionably a National Gal lery not unworthy of its destination. Kensington Palace, if a new structure be not required, would of course be preferable to the building now disgracing the metropolis. Adequaae room might then be foand, not merely for the collection of the old masters, bat for the paintings by native artists munificently be queathed to the nation by Mr. VERNON, and temporarily hanging in Marlborough House, and the matchless landscapes and sea pieces of that incomparable artist, the late Mr. TURNER. Fortunately there is at length some prospect of a building of this kind being pro vided for the pictorial treasures of England, the Right Hon. the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having last evening expressed a hope that the Ministry would be in a position next session to lay before the public a plan such as would prove satisfactory to the popular expectation.

The County Courts Extension Bill passed through Committee on Wednesday, and may be considered to have virtually received the Legislative sanction. Two clauses were added to the Bill—one regulating the mode in which warrants of execution against good; and chattels out of the jurisdiction of the Court, in which the judgment had been obtained, should be put in force; the other, providing that henceforward no county court judge should prac tise at the bar, or as a special pleader, or equity draughtsman, or be directly or indirectly concerned as a conveyancer, notary public, solicitor, attorney, or proctor. This last is a provision of immense im portance, and calculated to be productive of the most beneficial results. In 1846, when the original Act, 9 and 10 Victoria, c. 95, was under consideration, we strenuously urged the propriety of requiring the judges who might be appointed to devote their entire time to the arduous and important duties of the station, and that they should relinquish all private practice, which might have the effect of disturbing or diverting their attention from the fitting discharge of their judicial functions. That opinion was then over ruled ; it was supposed that the daily attendance at Westminster Hall would have the effect of keeping up the qualifications essential for the office, and also that competent persons might be willing to accept less remuneration, if permitted to retain their private practice, than if compelled to attend solely to their courts.

Although the judges might not sharpen their wits by daily collisions with pro fessional rivals, or engage in the competition inci dental to a barrister's life, high-minded and con scientious men would scarcely abandon their studies or refrain from keeping themselves au courant with the legal knowledge of the day, merely because their emolument would thence forward be derived entirely from public sources, and could not be increased or diminished in consequence of their competence or incapacity. There is an esprit de corps, a desire to gain the esteem and re spect of the community, that would act as the strongest incentive to the necessary study and pre paration. The regular attendance of a body of effi c'ent barristers, the assistance of the advocates on either side, who had studied the points of the case, and were prepared to submit their calm and deliberate views, and to cite the lat..st cases for the consideration of the Court, would do more to ensure sound decisions than the most extensive practice and constant reading on the part of the judge. The elject, then, should have been, as far as practicable, to ensure the formation of County court bars, so that every one of these tribunals should have the advantage of competent men to 1: 4 3 slat the j u d ge as we ll es the suitors, and to keep the fct l'aer under the view of intelligent persons capable of detecting and exposing any erroneous decisions. B7on eto singular error of judgment th a t great desidera dtum was not on l y lost sight of thin to but every g was p re vent the attendance of local b err i sters,nnd t° bani sh them from these tribunals.

JU N , 1 1, 1852. LITERATURE. THE FORTRESS OFKOMAROM: By Colonel Sigismund TJialy. James Madden. The siege of this celebrated fortress during the Hungarian war of independence, in 1848 and 1849, will be remembered by all who took any interest i❑ that disastrous war. The narrative of Colonel Thaly, who was superintendent of fortifications at Comorn during its siege, must prove interesting, if only from the knowledge that the facts therein set forth are almost certain to be genuine, but throughout the whole narrative the interest of the reader is kept up by either the description of the fortifications or by an account of the gallantry or treachery of individuals. The work concludes with a biography of Moritz Perczel, one of the most celebrated and successful generals of Hungary. The translation of William Rushton, 1X1.A.,"0f University College, London, proves him to be master of the language, and an appreciator of the Colonel's idea. For the benefit of those who are unacquainted with the history of the country, we subjoin a brief description of the fortress, which will explain why the Austrians were so anxious to obtain possession of it, and the Hungarians no less anxious to retain it : "In the southern angle of the fertile island of Czil (Schutt), formed by the branching arms of the cii4lity Danube, which divides itself into two rivers below Posony (Presburg), and at thn confluence of those gigantic streams with the waters of the Waag and the Nyitra (Neutra) stands Komaroce (Comorn), upon a wide plain which is not commanded by any neighbour ing heights, and as the fortress has been built according to the most approved rules of military science it thus combines the greatest advantages both of nature and of art. From its position upon the main river of the country, on the road leading from the capital of Austria to that of Hungary, having means of communication with each hank of the river, along which runs the high road to Vienna, following the course of the stream, Komiimm (Comorn) is justly considered the key of Upper Hungary, in like manner as Peterbilead (Peter wardein), which l oo k s d own f rom a towering height upon the waters of the Danube in another part of the country, is called the key of the south." FINE ARTS. INAUGURATION OF THE EXHIBITION. Painted by H. C. Selo us . I A remarkable picture commem orat i ve of the moss extraordinary of all peaceful event s d ur i ng the pre. sent reign, is now on view at No. 4, Trafalgar -square The artist who has undertaken the Lomewhtit difficult task of conveying an idea of the appearance of the interior of the Crystal Palace on the M a y D ay o f 1851, when th e Great Exhibition of the Production of the Ind us t ry o f a ll N a t ions was solemnly inaugu rated by the Sovereign, is Mr. 11. C. Selous. A de scription of the work of art now exhibiting would re quire considerable length and no inconsiderable elabo ration. Such, however, were useless to attempt— seeing that the production itself is so accessible, and that the whole of the complicated grouping may be appreciated for its really wond er f u l merit almost at a glance. Nearly one hundred portraits are comprised in the picture—numbering amongst them, of course besides the Royal Family and att en d ants, the Duke of W e lli ngton, the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord John Russell, the Earl of Derby, the Earl Granville, Sir William Cubitt, Sir Charles For, Sir Joseph Paxton, Dr. Lyon Playfair, Sir Charles Barry, Sir Charles Eastlake, and Sir Charles Lyell, besides a variety of other persons, together with the different Royal Com missioners. Several of the likenesses are really ad mirable, and the colouring and arrangement of the whole picture singularly meritorious. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. MR. AND MRS. CHARLES KEAN'S BENEFIT. If histrionic pre-eminence and consummate manage rial skill and judgment be deserving of the appreciation of the intelligent public, these accomplished artists as suredly put forward claims of no ordinary strength to a signal homage on the part of the habitués of this theatre on Monday evening next. It were quite super fleus to enter into a detailed consideratioe, or even a simple enumeration of their triumphs in these two capa cities, separately or collectively; triumphs comprising, amongst others, such impersonations as the two master pieces of acting at the present day—Hamlet and Viola, and the two most superbly got up productions on the London stage—King Jofn and the Corsican Brothers. The peculiar amount of patronage which has been be stowed upon the elegant theatre in Oxford-street since the assumption of its management by Mr. and Mrs. Kean is a gratifying proof that their exertions to ad vance the interests of the drama arid refine the public tact) have not failed in reaping their due reward; and the brilliant and overflowing attendance which we feel confident of witnessing on the night of the 14th will alike demonstrate the extended esteem and admiration they have so justly won, and prove au incentive to perseverance in a punter career, unsurpassed, if not unequalled, in theatrical annals for brilliancy and sub stantial merit. A singular and striking novelty will be brought out on Monday, entitled The Vampire—" a Phantasm related in three dramas"—in which the au thor, Mr. Bourcieault e well known to fame for his bril liant comedies, will himself s u st a i n th e pr i nc i pal cha racter, Sir Alan Baby. The part of his ill-starred vic tim, Lucy Peverell, being assigned to Miss Carlotta Leelerq, is sure to be invested with that picturesque and unexaggerated grace by which her accomplished de lineations are invariably distinguished. The piece alto gether is very effectively cast. The date of each drama ie the 15th day of August in the sixty-first years re spectively of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nine teenth centuries. Thus the daring dramatist takes an eight-year leap into futurity, " And panting time toils after him in vain." The scene of the Phantasm is laid throughout on the sides of Snowden. 0- Aberdeen all pd Do. No. 2, 7 per ct. 3% Caledonian, 10/. all pd Ches. & Holyhd. all pd Dundee, Per., & Aberd.

Immediately upon this proposal being brought yesterd ay under the notice of the members of the Cabinet i n the Lower H o u se of Parliament, a reply was made by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER such as must be cause for sincere satisfaction among all the lovlrs of high art in the United Kingdom. The Right Honourable Gentleman— remembering, it may be, the half promise of some Ministerial enterprise in this direction yielded by him upon the occasion of the last dinner given by the Royal Acuclemy—acknowledged with all readi ness the althost imperative necesEityxisti constriction of some fitting and:app ropriate receptacle ng f o r th e e . for the national collection of pict ures and oth er - 1 1 , 9 e. of art of that character. l ie did not, how •••••lit-i0r, c t.;) 4 .., •., self with this simple b ut significant ,44,47114„. . ,-;,.. , ai.

No less than Si. a year was charged for su pint' ing a house of the annual value of 2001, and to shop the inconsistency of the Bill, a house with a value 13( lond 2001. a year would be charged less than the 2001. a year house._(gear.) Mr. BECKETr supported the motion, and defended the charges authorised by the Bill, which were as. a year for an unlimited supply to a lot. house, rad 16& for a 201. house.—(Dear,) Mr. HUAIE should support the decision which , Or Committee on the Bill had come to, and trusted hi e , Hon.

Lord EI3RINGTON inquired when it was proposed . to take the second reading of the Bill. He hoped i$ • would tot be at a late hour of the evening? Mr. WALPOLE said it would after a quarter past 11 o'clock.._ r, h not bebrought on . Mr. P. DUNCOMBE wished to now whet her it VW' proposed to take Supply at six o'clock? Mr. WALPOLE replied in the negative. The Go,- verntnent would go on with the Law Bills. The motion was then agreed to. MILITIA ESTIMATES. Mr. BERESFORD moved the Select Committee to prepare Militia Estimates :—Mr. Secretary at War, Viscount Palmerston, the Judge Advocate, M r . 'aid ney Herbert, Mr. Ellice, Mr. Vernon Smith, Sir William JollifD., Mr. Cornewall Lewis, Mr. George Alexander Hamilton, Colon. I Lindsay, Colonel Dunne, Sir John Tyrell, and all Colonels of Militia. Power to send for persons, papers, and records; three to be the quorum. To sit and proceed fortwith. Mr. HUME said this was an unnecessary proceedin, and he hop e d now that we were to have the militia tha g t it would be dune away with. The Committee eras es perfect farce, for all i t woul d h ave to do would be to agree to th e est i mates that might be put into their hands by the Secretary -at-War. Mr. WALPOLE remarked that sending the estimate to a Select Committee would not preclude the House from exercising an authority over it in supply. The motion was then agreed to. PUBLIC TAXES. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. WILLIAMS rose to move—..'That it appears, by returns ordered by this House, that an enormous amount of the public taxes is annually intercepted on its way from the people's pockets to the Treasury, espe cially by the departments by which the taxes are col lected, and is expended for the payment of the revenue officers and other expenses, but without the supervision or control of this House; and in violation of the consti tutional principle, that no taxes shall be imposed on the people, or the product thereof expended, without the authority of their representatives in Parliament. That for the security of the public monies, and accurate keeping of the public accounts, it is indispensable that the whole of the public income shonld, without nay de duction whatever, be paid into her Majesty's Exche quer, and that no portion of it should be issued there from, on any plea or pratice, without the sanction-of" Parliament, as it was recommended by the Commission,.. which consisted of Members of the House, appointed. by the Crown in the year 1831. Mr. HAMILTON hoped the Hon. Member would not poisevere with his motion now. Ho could renew it cn bringing up. the report,—(Hear, bear.) Mr. WILLIAMS acceded to the proposal, but question ought not to b e left in theMhr. anidistjAolfEausainid this s ndest Member. The House had already decided that the public accounts should be made , out in one form, and that no money should be stopped in.. its progress to the Exchequer. It was an anomaly which. did not exist in any other country, that seven millions:, of money received as revenue was omitted from the re-- turns and taken out of the control of Parlia men t, After a few words from Mr. WALPOLE, the subje at dropped. . MAYNOOTII. In reply to Mr. MONSELL, Mr. WALPOLE said ha apprehended that the 11 dlOl7l why there was no vote on the es!imates for keepin g the Ccl!c.ge of Mayoooth in repair was, that th , ) late Government - , who had prepared the estimates, chid not conader such a vote ntccssary. The vote last year was only carried by a arajarity o f two or oce, and tUere was n much prospect of the Government getting the Hod to to grant any sum for repairs in the preseat-state of pub lic business, even if they wiohed to do so. Mr. ANSTEY thought the Government bad note d with a very viiso discretion in not bringing forward th vote. (LEFT BITTING.) 61-e" dis.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for export, and 3,500 on speculation. The market was very firm, and prices of all kinds were a turn against the buyers. The sales comprised 9,000 American, 500 Pernam. and Maranham at 51cl. to 71d., 200 Egyptian 64d. to 91d., and 300 Surat et 3il. to 41d. par lb.— Railway Shares were dull at rather lower prices. In the produce markets, although very little was done yesterday (owing to Ascot), there have been large trans actions this week. A good deal. of East India Sugar has been offered, and this has occasioned a slight decline in prices. In West India a fair business has been done at full rates generally. Coffee has been very firm, and though not brisk for Native Ceylon, has been active for most other sorts. Saltpetre has beea rather cheaper, and Cochineal has fallen Id. to 2d. per lb. Cotton is still in good demand. Tea has a fair sale, and Tallow con tinues at about the former prices. Fish Oils generally tend upwards, but other qualities aro dull. Tallow has maintained its price. Upon the state of the Metal trade, Messrs. William Short and Co. report as follows: " We had during last month a large demand fur rails, chiefly for America, and the price has advanced to 51.155. per,ton in Wales, at which business has been done. Bars have, though in a less degree,' followed rails, and 4/. 17s. 6cl. is demanded for first-class makes, while none whatever is to be had under 4/. 12s. 6d. In Scotch pig iron there has been considerable business; prices have fluctuated to some extent, but the market closes at 3s. per ton above the price on the sth ult. Foreign iron is without change. Copper has been advanced id. per lb. on manufactured, and 90s. per ton on Cake and Tile, while the discount has been lowered from 3 to 2i per cent. The demand continues good at the advanced rates. 'Tin—Engli s h i s unaltered; foreign is a shade ea s i er; and we cannot quote Bence, beyond 85s. The stock in London is about 2,000 tons; in Holland, in second ' hands, abo u t 14 , 50 0 slabs or aout 440 tens ; an d the quantity advertised by th e Dutch Trading Company for j sale on the 4th of August next is 142,582 slabs (exclu sive of new importations which may be added, not ex _ seeding 15,000 s l a b s ) , or , i n a ll, 4,392 tons, ma ki ng the whole available stock on this and the other side, u n til August, 1853, 6,762 tons, against 6,244 tons at this period in 1851, and 5,000 in 1830. Tin plates are in good request a t quo t e d p r i ces . Lead has adv anced some 53. per ton, an d cont i nues i n fair demand. Speller.. Consequent on account of high prices at Hamburgh, the price here has advanced; business has been done at 15/, 103. per ton, and the market closes at 151. e s , 6,1. to 151. 10s. Stock on Ist inst., 10,440 tons, against 12,380 tons at this period last year." The easy state of the Money Market offers a tempta tion to many foreign companies to come here bidding for loans, advances, or share subscriptions ; an d in mer cantile circles connected with the United States, it is asserted that some railway undertakings of ver y doubtful promise will be brought under notice here. It is to be hoped the public will discriminate, and not rashly place their surplus means in such compauies. re an e , re ample facilities for investing money nearer h o pe , me a n quire a consi derable Canadian possessions will shortly derable amount for railway purposes. The market for Public Securities ,has been particu larly fi rm again, and a further advance in the quotations of * to i per cent. has taken place. The disposition is still to invest, because the transfer books close this even ing, and the accumulation of money goes on. The Bank of England, it is understood, increased last week the specie in its vaults by about 150,0001,, and this week an addition has been also made to some extent, not withstanding the shipments to different parts. Con sols have ranged from 1001 to 101 i for Transfer, and have been 1011 f for Account. The New Three-and-a-Qaarter per Cents, have been marked 1024 to 103, and the Three per Cents. 100 k to i.

Shrewsbury, and Birmingham, North British, York and North Midland, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, there is decided buoyancy. Brighton likewise are firm. The Lanca shire and Yorkshire traffic shows a large increase. French shares have been very quiet. Gold Mine shares , though dull , bring about pre v i ous rates.

On the whole, the arrivals of English Wheet, coast wise and by land carriage, have been seasonably good, this week, those :by the farmer mode of conveyance having amounted to 4,410 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent, with a few parcels from Norfolk. The show of samples here to-day, from some of the cargoes having been sold prior to arrival, was by no means extensive; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds was in a slug gish state at Monday's currencies. Scarcely any sales took place for for ward delivery. From abroad, 7,160 quarters of Wheat have come to hand. Selected quali ties ware held at full currencies. In other kinds, next to nothing was doing. Floating cargoes were quite as dear as last week. With Harley we were very mode: ately supplied. Most kinds sold at previous figures.
