THE SUN, ------- THE GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION ! TO BE HELD IN DUBLIN, 1853. The following d es criptive particulars of Mr. Ben son's design, which has been adopted for the Exhibi tion Building will be read with interest :—Presenting a front to Alerrion-square of 300 feet, the main or cen t re feature of the elevation consists of a semicircular projection w hich . form s the eastern termination of the cen tral hall. This will be a noble apartment of 425 feet in length, and 100 feet in height, covered by e semicircular roof upon trellis ribs, in one span of 10 0 . feet. On each side of the central hall, and running . parallel to it for the same length, are two halls 50 ft let wide, with domed roofs, similar to that which cove ra the main nave or hall of the building. The height: from the floor to the roof of each of these halls will_ be 65 feet. They are approached through passages, from the centre hall. In addition to these three halls.. are four compartments of 25 feet wide, running the whole length of the building; two are placed. between the centre ball and the side halls, and two on each side of the latter ; divided into sections of 25 feet square, forming convenient divisions for the pur— poses of classification. Over these compartments are spacious galleries, also running the length of th e which will net only afford increased spa ce for exhibition, but an agreeable promenade from whence the effect of the three halls will be seen to , great advantage. The ceiling of the halls being divided . into panels formed by the trellis ribs and the other constructive parts of the building, will provide ample opportunity for effective decoration. Light is ad- mitted from above in one unbroken and equally dis: • tributed body. The construction o f the building. is . strongly marked on the elevation , and forms i n tact the ornamental character of the design. There are ) also external galleries which will be attractive features in the exterior, and will be u seful in p rovidin g access to the roof for repairs, &c. The termination of each i of the principal roofs to the east and west is semisphe- , rical, giving strength as well as effect to the building. i There will be three entrances n the front facing Merrion-square, under a range of verandahs, through whigh access will be had for the holders of season tickets and the general public. The materials of the building will be iron, timber, and glass. The latter will only be use d for light, as before described. The parts of the roof at each side of the lights will b e timber, covered with the water-proof cloth, manufactured by Messrs. Mslconason, of Portlay, county of Waterford. The trellis girders which support the galleries will be of wrought iron, supported on csst iron pillars. Ample accom modation in the way of refreshment, retiring rooms, offices, &c., is provided in the plan. Access to t he Building can also be had by the spacious court-yard of the Royal Dublin Society, whos e suite of apan ments, including the Museum, w ill be thrown oy . e i n b t i o the public during the Exhibition. T he feet. ava il a bl e l area of ground floor will be 147,704 87 Of wa! space there will be not less than ,000 . .feet. The design, not only in respect to t h e striking and bold effect of the elevation, hut al so o f the interior, is deserving of the highest praise. Air. Benson a ppears to have forgetten the Crystal Palace, and has had the coura ge to think for laix s elf. He has pro d uce d a des ign worthy of the purpose c ontemplated, ..and highly cr e dit a bl e t o his artistic and practical cnaracter as an architect. 1 We under stand that a lithograph will be published in! showing the principal 8 few days by Mr. M'Glashan, elevation of the building. FRANCE. General d'Ornano, who has just been named Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, was born at Ajaccio in 1784. He descends from a Corsican family which has already given two Marshals to France, under Henri IV. and Louis XIII. He entered the army at the age of sixteen, and made his first campaign at Marengo. He was afterwards Aide-de-Camp to General Leclerc in the expedition to Saint Domingo. After the battle of lena he was named Colonel of the 25th regiment of Dragoons, at the head of which he made the campaigns of Switzerland and• Yoland in 1806 and 1807. After the peace of Tilsit - he served under Marshal Ney in Spain and Portugal, and was made General of Brigade after the battle of Fuentes d'Onoro. He followed the Emperor into Russia in 1812, and was promoted to the rank of general of division on the eve of the battle of La Moskowa, where he was at the head of . the cavalry. In 1814 he commanded the army wh ich covered Paris. General d'Ornancam ko.ns forty-eight years of service, and twenty.pawns. He was named grand officer of the Legion of Honour, in 1834, and Grand Cross in 1850. .al We find the following in the weekly commercial bulletin of the Presse :—" The improvement in bu siness which we me n tioned last week , has acquired fresh progress i n a ll articles manufactured in Paris. Important orders are received by every packet from the Brazils and the United State s, and there is every reason to hope that the export trade, which had . been dull during the first six mo nths of the ye re ar me , will im. prove for the autumn month s. It may beremembered that the American markets were very much over stocked at the commencement of the year, and that a Ipart of the goods sent out in 1851 were obliged to be sold at a loss ; but as these goods have now been com pletely got rid of, French goods are again in demand in the American markets. The manufacturers are also busily engaged for the Sou . th Sea and the north of Europe. Sweden . and Russia have recently made extensive purchases in bronzes and articles of Paris manufacture. it4OIITALITY in the METROPOLIS.

Essex, and, upon the day in question, a dead horse having to be fetched some few miles from the town, he went for it, teking with him a little boy and a. girl for a ride. When he got to the place where the horse was, although then somewhat " fresh," he had more beer, and was, when he started to return, very nearly drunk, and flogged the horse into a furiow gallop, and, upon turning a place called Bull-corner at Barking, the cart upset, and threw him, the, two children, and dead horse out. The little boy fell under the cart, and received such a fearful fracture of the skull that his brains came out, and he died in a few minutes, the prisoner himself receiving such seri ous injuries that for some time be was au inmate of the London Hospital. The several witnesses who were examined all gave the prisoner a good character for humanity and stea diness of conduct. The jury found him Guilty. The RECORDER asked how long the pn'solier had been in prison ? The prisoner said he had been ten days in tht 3 hos pital, and one month in gaol. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said. that where persons having the command of horses uxged them to a furious spee"d, and any accident re ;tilted from it, he should, if the case came before bin], punish them most severely, as he did not know any class of offence that evinced more recklessness is to results, and most especially in the case of ornl aibus and other public drivers. There was some difference in this instance, and, considering what the prisoner had already suffered, and the character he had b orne, he should order him to be further imprisoned for one month in NewgAte. Upon this case being called in the turn it st ood upon the paper, it had to be postponed until Is •ter in the day, one of the Learned Counsel retained in it being then engaged in one at the Middl ss ex Sessions. His LORDSHIP said that the inconvenience caused by the Middlesex magistrates fixing the same d sys for trials as this Court was very great, and th sre ought to be some alteration in the system. It N vas most improper, quite unnecessary, and very unjust to the bar. Several gentlemen of the bar said they felt the in— convenience very much, and Loped that there would soon be some alteration. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, Q.C.) Charles Collins, 62, publisher, a respectable look ing. old man, was indicted for stealing a case of four portraits, valued at 101., the property of Ante nio Claudet. Mr. W. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Robin. son defended. The prisoner in this case had gone to the 'proseilu tor, who is the well-known daguerreotype artist of Regent-street, and, under pretence that he was in ib fishing a portrait gallery of the aristocracy and others, borrowed the case of likenesses, which o rere never returned, and subsequently found to have b een pawned. The evidence failing to prove that the pictures hacl been given to the prisoner in the first instance, Lordship directed an acquittal. He was then indicted for stealing a daguerreotype portrait, the property of Robert Hogg. The prosecutor, who was the American daguerreo type artist, and proprietor of the miniature gallery, 432, West Strand, proved that the prisoner came to him with a. similar tale, and after having some busi ness transactions, one of which was getting him to take the likeness of Mr. Charles Salisbury Butler, LP., he obtained the portrait in question, which was also pawned. In cross-examination this witness said he did not know whether he gave the portrait to the prisoner or his son. The prisoner was Acquitted. A third indictment was then gone into for stealing a portrait valued at 51., the property of Lord Sandys. This case was also enveloped in the same mystery.. An application for the same purpose as above stated was made, the prisoner introducing himself by letter ; this was last year; and when the prisoner was taken into custody, among the duplicates found on him was one relating to the portrait (an oil painting) in ques tion ; but how it had found its way from his Lord ship's mansion in Curxon-street, May-fair, to the pawnbroker's could not be unravelled, no one recol lecting its being given to the prisoner. An Acquittal was taken in this case. Inspector A Cumming said there were about fifty more cases against him if the parties would have pro secuted. The prisoner had carried on the game for some years in all parts of the country, and had de frauded hundreds, the value of the portraits being some thousands, and persons so defrauded had sent up money to redeem their portraits. William Worley, 39, tinplateworker, was indicted for feloniously wounding Nathan Defries, with in tent, &o. Mr. Ballantine prosecuted, and Mr. Charnock de, fended. The prosecutor, a gas engineer and dry meter maker, stated that in June last prisoner worked for two days in his shop, for which he demanded pay ment. Prosecutor referred him to his cashier, telling him that his payday was Friday. On Tuesday, the 6th of July, prisoner went to the counting-house of the factory in Diana-place, and said he had come, for his money. Witness said that he knew nothing of it, and rang the bell for his foreman, whom he asked if anything was due. The foreman said there was not, but by their rules the prisoner owed them money for spoiling some work. The foreman then went away, leaving prisoner, who said, " You don't mean to pay me ? Then, I'll pay you," and immediately took a mallet from his side pocket, and, brandishing it to take a sure aim, atrack him with all his force on the head and ran away. Witness called " Murder," and tried to follow, but the blood spirted like a fountain from the wound, a fearful one just above the left ear, and prosecutor fainted. When he recovered he was at the doctor's, and the prisoner was in the hands of the police. It further appeared that the same morning the pri soner had threatened to do for the prosecutor if he did not pay him. The foreman bad heard his mas ter's cries, and ran after the prisoner, who was running away as fast as he could. When in the hands of the police he said he was sorry for what he had done. On behalf of the prisoner it was stated that he had always been a quiet, well-behaved man, and had a wife and family. The jury found him Guilty, recommending him to mercy. He was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour. In the co urse of the day t ru e bills were found against Lord Frankfort and Mary Taylor for misde meanour, and, upon the application of Mr. Giffard, a warrant was issued for the woman, who it was said had absconded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HO USE. Mr. IL Sewell, of the Mansion-house, who on Sunday last, in consequence of instructions which he bed received from the Lord Mayor and Alderman Finnis, accompanied to Liverpool the emigrants who complained of the delay in the sailing of the City of Lincoln, bound for Port Philip, for the purpose of making satisfactory arrangements for their departure, reported to his Lordship upon the subject. He had, he said, the satisfaction to state that the vessel had, since the reported insolvency of the former holder, fallen into the hands of Mr. Bates, a man of respect ability, who not only released her from her embar rassment!, but paid the greatest attention to the com forts of the poor passengers; and that Lieutenant Pryor, of the Government Emigration Office of Li verpool, had testified to the excellent condition of the articles of food which came under his supervision officially in the ship. He had promised to convey to his Lordship the emigrants' warm expression of gra titude for the prompt and effective measures adopted by the Lord Mayor and Alderman Finnis to obtain for them reparation for the delay, and security as to their proper accommodation during their voyage. They had given three cheers for the City magistrates when he was leaving the vessel, which was to sail at twelve o'clock on Wednesday (yesterday). Mr. Sewell also said he was gratified in stating that the Prince Alfred emigrant vessel, concerning the delay of which complaint bad been also made at the Man sion -house, had gone through the Downs, and that all the passengers on board had been amply accommo dated and provided for. The Loan Mikyoa said that he and his brother alderman felt the most sincere gratification in car rying out the object of the Emigration Commission ers to the fullest extent. The claims upon the ener getic exertions of the magistracy had increased in proportion to the numerous departures to foreign countries, and the public might rely upon the strictly impartial performance of the duties of the alderman at a time when more than usual vigilance was ne cessary. Edward Wilson, a well-dressed fellow, was charged with stealing three tumblers, a salt cellar, and a spoon, in an eating-house in Bow-lane. The prisoner dined in the house, and after havi ng remained there between two and three hours, was walking out, when the waitress, who had recollect e d him from a former visit which proved unprofitable to her, stopped him, and asked him to lighten his burden, which he did in a moment, at the same time beggi ng pardon for the mistak e. The p risoner had in his pocket a couple of shoe-brushe s, which he h ad in the morn ing Gilts a stolen from a nother house. lie"was forthwit h sentenced to imprisonment a n d hard labour for tw o months. The Loan MAY OR said he had received t commu nication from t he chaplain to he Compter, which, as it related to a reformed criminal, or-s tree e a better place he thought cou ld not be announced • than the justice-room from whi c h th e reclaimed per- 19, 1852, son had been sent to the extreme tribunal. In his I The following y t h e same as for achts are entered to conten d for Prince Lordship's opinion the chaplain's humanity had fixed Albert's Cup , to-morrowthe course being upon a case possessing strong claims upon those who her Majesty a Cup. Itwill be confined to t had power as well as will to do good. It was as fol - of the Royal Ya c ht ci i' uadron:— Godolphin. lows :—The mother of a reformed criminal was G queue, 47 tons—Lord Alarm, 248 tons—Joseph Wild, Esq. anxious to get out to America to join her son. The Gloriana, 134 tons—Joseph Ge©, Esq. he sc hooners boy was trained to crime by his own father, who was Gipsy Queen, 160 tons—Sir H. Br Hoghton, Bart. convicted in the same case. At the close of his im- Claymore, 138 tons—Archibald Campbell, Esq. prisonment the unfortunate boy was sent to a refuge, and after some months probation sent out to America by Lord Shaftesbury, assisted by the Sheriff's fund. That took place in April, 1850. Since that time he has gone well, and is now, to use the chaplain's lan guage, " I believe an upright and conscientious man. He has written to say that, if his mother can be sent out, and also a brother who is imbecile and unable to earn a living, he will provide for them both. His mother has herself always been a respectable woman, but now is reduced to earn a precarious subsistence by waistcoat making, and is a widow in her 58th year, her husband having died in prison." To the correctness of the statement the chaplain expressed his great willingness to bear testimony, upon application at the Giltspur-street Compter or the Mansion-house. - BOW-SI'ItEET. - William Avis, of High-street, St. Giles's, under taker, appeared to an adjourned summons, charging him with having buried an infant, " for which no certificate had been duly made and delivered" to the registrar, as required by the 6th and 7th William IV., chap. 86, sec. 27. kc 6 The facts proved at the former examination were —the birth of the infant on the 2d of June, and its death on the sth ; the delivery of the corpse to the defendant, who undertook to supply a coffin and bury it for 33., which was paid to him for that purpose by the grandmother (who also stated that she supplied him with the requisite medical certificate) ; and finally, the discovery that the child had never been buried at all, which was the defendant's answer to the charge. The case was adjourned for the attendance of the medical gentleman who was said to have furnished the certificate, and notice was given to the defendant in the meantime to produce it. Mr. F. Hatton, solicitor, now appeared for the re gistrar, to support the charge. Mr. G. W. New, assistant surgeon to St. Giles's workhouse, deposed to having attended the infanta mother during her confinement. After the death of the child, which only lived two deys, witness gave the grandmother a proper certificate for delivery to the district registrar, and he believed it was taken by her to the defendant. THE LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER REGI- Among the measures necessary to develop f u lly the resources of the Lake Superior m i nera l region, is 0.00 which requires the aid of the Government , and whWe ich. presents strong claims to favourable consider ation. al lude . to the construction of a ship cana l a round the falls of the St. Mary, or Sault St. .Marie, a s it is more commonly known. The St. Mary's river is the outlet. for the waters of Lake Superior, and connects t h a t with. the great chain of lakes which form the northern. boundary of our country. The river is navi g able to the. rapids, which extend for a distance of half a mile only. These rapids interrupt navigation, and in consequence all. the supplies for the Lake Superior reg ion, as well as the rted, products of that region, must be unladen, transpo muc h around the rapids, and re-shipped, of cours e at expense and great inconvenience. It is to do away wlgn this evil, and to make the navigati on continuous, tbat... aid is asked of the Government. The topographY ?I the country is favourable for the construction of a ship can a l, which need not exceed one mile in length. I t is• believed that the tolls derived fro m the canal would ultimately amply compensate the Government for the outlay which would be required. This has the . case with the Louisville canal, and, although thet,. navigation through the proposed canal would not . 0 ' course . be so great as on tha Ohio, it must of necessity,. ultimately become very large. The mineral resource! oat proved to Lake Superior are rich in rho extreme. The product.io of copper is only limited by the means of traneSortation, and iron and other minerals are found in,,,,P"sndarree. n The copper ore is of the richest quality, Yield in g, - ' whey smelted, from 60 to 70 per cent. of th e pure meta coo iron . ore is also of the best quality, and the posed.

Formal proof was then given of the service of the notice by Mr. Hatton's clerk, the previous evening. Mr. Duncombe—We don't produce it. The grandmother was then re-examined. She stated that she delivered the certificate to the de fendant's daughter, who was acting as agent for him in the shop. The age of the child, the cause of its death, with the name and address of the parents, were inserted in the certificate. On every occasion when witness had called on the defendant respcting the baby she was assured that " it was all right." Mr. Duncombe—Am I to answer the charge set forth in the summons ? Mr. HENRY—Yes, certainly. Mr. Duncombe—We are charged in the words of the Act with incurring certain penalties by burying a child without a certificate. You have it in evidence that it has never been buried at all. Mr. HENRY—I have well considered this case since it was adjourned last week, and I am now of opinion that the defendant is liable to be convicted under the Act. I certainly had a different impression at one time, but everything turns upon the meaning which is to be attached to the word " bury." If we regard it exclusively as implying an interment, doubtless there would be some difficulty in showing the lia bility of the defendant, but the word admits of a wider definition. If you look to Dr. Johnson's dic tionary you will see that the word " bury" is de scribed as signifying "to put in a grave, to hide, or to conceal." Now, it is quite clear to my mind that there was in this case a concealment of the body from the 7th of June, when it was delivered to the de fendant, to be buried, until the 10th of August, when the officers found the body in the coal vault of Mr. Avis's house. CRYSTAL PALACE IN BATE.. •s 1 al A roject has been started for the erection of a Cll . :, 1 ., .Palace in Bath. An elevation and sections of the 13 1 1. " 1 , i t ng were exhibited at the last meeting of the Sorties. 0 ural Society; and we have since been favoured fit 0 private inspection of them by the originator, gr. d a is Peacock, architect, of this city. The site propos e .13 the Sydney Gardens; the eastern side of the open 513 V., g has been chosen with the especial view of Pre serv— l i• the noble central avenue. The building, ludo the '' 1 . g L inal Crystal Palace, consists of a nave a transe P l : t 'e nave is 144 feet long and 48 feet wide, an d the c ii %, sept is 96 feet long, 48 feet wide, and 70 feet high' a outside is supported several improvements are introduced in the constre: I by ornamental iron buttresses, e l i _ , tion. Such a building would undoubtedly be a g r iit ddition to the amusements of the city, forming, 05 _ i might in the summer, the scene of horticultural au; other exhibitions, and in winter a promenade and g s f A den. We need scarcely add, that the formation 0 , , winter garden is a desideratum in a city which is the re i sort of valetudinarians, The cost of the bulld iu g no • i estimated at 6,0001.; and it is proposed to formsa c i: 5 , L PanY, and to raise the amount in 1,200 share °` s 0 each. There is this recommendation of the affair B i a speculation, that if the returns from the build o bou jv i cold for a palm house or other purpose. that Messrs. Fox and Henderson have agreed to er , i ' e ,,, the building, and render it fit for use, in twelve wee!'o from the day of its commencement; and be believe 5., may add that there is much probability of the deli ei a l being accomplished. Mr. Peacock contemplates Bev r re works in connexion with the building, such as th e e n ; r tioa of fountains in front of Sydney Hotel; the er, be Wen nderoto: It tion of a museum, to which the Gothic Hall wo 7 r . appropriated, and generally the renovation of theli 0 ' dees.k We heartily wish him success in the 81) , Ir „„, jt exertions ha is making to carry out his project, sa l " must add considerably to the attractions of the cal. Mr. Duncombe, interrupting his Worship, hoped he should be permitted to argue this point. Mr. HENRY—That is quite irregular. Mr. D uncombe having contended that no opportu nity had been given him to discuss the point, was allowed to proceed. He was quite sure that the Legisla ture never contemplated a question of this kind. The Act says—" any person who shall bury, or perform any funeral or religious service for the burial of any dead body for which no certificate shall have been duly made and delivered," Sze., shall be liable to cer tain penalties. Now, admitting his Worship's inter pretation of the word " bury," where could the line of demarcation be drawn ? One moment's conceal ment of a body in any shop, charnel-house, or hospi tal, would make the parties liable ; and it was a com mon thing to have bodies sent to undertakers or other people's houses to be kept a few days before inter ment. The word " concealment" was never used in the Act; but even if it had been contemplated, what concealment was there in this case ? The defendant never hid or secreted the body. It was well known to al ll his establi s h men t an d t o o th e rs that the child was in his cellar, which had never been kept locked, but was accessible to all. The fact was, the grand mother had given M r . A v i s t o un d ers t an d that it was a stillborn child. Otherwise the burial would have cost at least 12 s . Th en , as to t h e cert ifi ca t e , h e de nied having received it, and ther e w a s no proof of its delivery to him, although the grandmother stated that she had left it at the shop in the hands of the de fendant's daughter —a mere child. He had no certi ficate, and he did not know the address of the parents : and even if h e h a d k nown w h ere t o fi n d them, it was not incumb en t on hi m t o h un t f o r the certificate, which, according to the Act, ought to have been delivered to him. The child had not been un fairly disposed of, or spirited away, or concealed ; and the conduct of Mr. Avis was praiseworthy in compa rison with the obvious neglect of the registrar, who hadl never registered its birth even, but now came into court for half the penalties, to which the Act entitled him. Mr. HENRY—He is not allowed any portion of the penalty under the Police Act, which overrides the other. - a---- - -----_ THE COUNTRY MARKETS. . b. , , LEEDS, AUG. 17.—The weather since Friday.io ''' district has been pretty favourable, and to -day Is Y fine.

Besides, it was common to use the word in that sense. When we say " buried in oblivion," we do not think of interments. However, this was the first time the question had been raised under the Act, and therefore he should be very glad to have it fully discussed at Quarter Sessions. If his view was not supported, he could only sa y th a t a ll the evils which it was the design of the Act to remedy must go unpunished. His Worship then inflicted a p enalt y of 61.

COWES, Auo. 18.—The race for er Majesty's Cup had not concluded at the time of my last communication being dispatched, but, as was a nticipated by several per sons at an early period of the race, the Arrow succeeded in recovering the position she appeared temporarily to have lost on going towards Ryde, for she passed the station-vessel at Cowes as under : h. m. sec. Arrow 1 36 30 The other two vessels appeared to be almost at this point out of the race, but on passing Cowes they were timed as follow: h. in. see. Lavrock 2 19 5 Aurora They then proceeded for the rest of the course to the vessel moored off Yarmouth ; but, on reaching Egypt the Aurora st ruck her fla g , and gave vi ti r t) ua a l l l l y further s h ar e share in the contest, leaving the taco Arrow alone. The great difference in the time of the arrival of the two last vessels, it is stated, is ac counted for in this way. On going down t owar d s th e Nab Light , the Arrow throughout kept to the north ward, whilst the Aurora and Lavrock were close under the island. When abreast of s fl o wing strong from the north- t east, el s e h n e 's, caughtw tla a breeze i t np, made a long reach, and rounded the Nab, whilst the two others, being under the island, went f as t t o th e leeward. This difference of position ns thebetween the of the Arrow, and the A Aurora and La vroc k . passing Garnet Bay, the Arrow had it entirely her own way, rounded t"e station at Yarmouth, and arrived off the starting vessel at Cowes as under:— h. m. sec. Arrow The Lavrock on her return from Yarmouth experi enced the effects of a very heavy storm of th under and lightning, with hail and rain, but on this passing over the wind dropped, and a perfect calm ensued. In this becalmed state she remained for two hours, during which she drifted back several miles with the tide. She eventually managed to pick up a light breeze and got back to Cowes at the time under mentioned: — h. m. sec. Lavrock The Arrow was therefore de clared to be the winner of her Majesty's Cup, being the second gift of her Majesty won by Mr. Chamberlayne with that vessel this season. It will be remembered that she won the Queen's Cup at Ryde in the Royal Victoria Yacht Club Regatta. beating the America clipper by several minutes, the first time she was ever van q uished in any waters. It was nearly a " dead heat ' between her and the Musquito, as the Arrow being the larger of the two, tho extra len g th of her bowsprit vessel, her the victory.

SEVERE THUNDER STORMS (From the Inverness Courier.) Exactla this day six years—on the 12th of August, 1 1 846—we recorded one of the most terrific thunder storms experienced in this district for at least half a century ; and to-day we have to chronicle 0 storm perhaps equally severe. On Thursday even ing last very heavy rains fell in Stratbglass, accom panied for some hours with incessant peals of thun der, and f requen t and particularly vivid flashes of ligntning. Oa Friday several loud peals broke over the town; but were followed by only slight showers. Th e northern side of the Cromarty Firth was on that day visited by a storm which will be re membered for many a day. In the morning some lengthened peals were heard at a distance, which gra dually lessen e d tall was right over Aln about one o'clock, when the storm discharged e _ ess, where for nearly two hours the clouds ThelJey was f o ol th?ir contents with terrific fury. as if the ep le had heavily ,set.

Rain fell in torrents for nearly half-an-hour, and darkened the heavens so as make the scene really terrifying. We have heard of several cases of indisposition occ urring from fright. The thunder was so frequent that scarcely to minutes ilutervened between each successive peal. The rain speedily formed rapid currents i n many flooded of te streets, and forcing its way into severa l houses, o the lower rooms very much. The inhabitants living on the west side of the river, which is badly drained, were the greatest sufferers. They uttered to all visitors expressions strongly condemnatory of the in which they are treated by the part i es whose duty it is to attend to the proper drainage of the streets. The Castle Commissioners, we think, should now be for having of the necessity that necessity exists having the Wynd leading to th County Buildings Buildings causewayed, as on Satur day least a. l rain carried from the pathway de posited at probably as much ctohuple of cartloads of gravel, which is de head of Bridge-street, in addition to the C oranaerc , ll ,ch more conveyed into the cellars of done to property by Although some damage was that we 14'7 bY the storm, we are glad to say struck the chimney of no deaths.

The KING, accompanied by the ..Hereditary Prince, Prince CHRISTIAN of Glucks bourg Prince FREDERIC of Hesse, and the Ministers and high dignitaries of the Court, arrived at noon. •The Royal party were received by Councillor E SEN, President of the Committee of the Exhibition, who addressed his MAJESTY in a speech in which he expressed the sentiments of gratitude felt by the ma nufacturing classes for the encouragement given to arts and manufactures, and his constant desire to promote the welfare of his people. His MAJESTY re plied in the most gracious manner, and his words were received with loud cries of " Long live the King." After the departure of the Royal party the doors were thrown open to the public. SWITZERLAND. The National Council of Switzerland, in the sitting of Saturday, decided that the Federal Council should be authorised to bring into execution, on the Ist of October next, the postal treaty between Switzerland, Austria, and the German States. The Council was also occupied with the proposition previously adopted by the Council of States, relative to relieving the cantons which formed part of the Sonderbund, from the payment of the sums remaining due on their portion of the war expenses. In the course of the discussion three several resolutions were made ; one, that the whole sum due, 3,340,771 f., should be re mitted ; another, that the amount should be only 1,000,000 f. on the principal sum, and 953,165 f. of the supplementary debt; and a third, that the latter sum alone should be remitted. Eventually, the motion for giving up the whole 3,340,771 f. was carried, the Radical Members having displayed a conciliatory epirit. " The Council of States, on the same day adopted a resolution to the effect that if the Federal Executive Council should receive diplomatic commu nications relative to the affair of Neufchatel, they shall be communicated to that canton." The Duchess D'ORLEANS and her children arrived at Geneva on the 13th. ITALY. The Official Gazette of Savoy of the 15th states that Genaral Forey, the officer - who organised the twelve battalions of Chasseurs de Vincennes, being lately at Turin, recommended the practice of firing at a target, as a great element of strength for the Pied montese nation ; and that M. Perzusti, Minister of the Interior, approving of his advice, has now published a circular, warmly recommending the authorities to encourage the practice alluded to. GENERAL FLt3RES. LIMA, JULY s.—We have accounts from Guayaquil to the 2d inst., according to which General Flores was preparing to assault the place, but his forces were reduced to 600 or 700 men, tind the chances are against him. We consider his discomfiture will be the most advantageous to business, as our trade would be immediately restored, whereas if he gets in there will be a civil war, and he will lay on heavy contri butions to defray the expenses of the expedition. TRINITY CLIURCII, ST. 31ARYLEBONE, NEW STAINED GLASS WINDOWS. In consequence of the pleasing effect produced by the beautiful stained glass window erected some months since over the Communion-table at thi s church, as a memento to the late H. St. George Tucker, Esq., which was then fully described in this journal, Mr. James Laver, churchwarden, in con junction with the Rev. T. Gamier, 8.C.L., the rector, started a subscription to defray the expenses of decorating a window on either side of the abe,e in a similar manner. So promptly and liberally was the appeal responded to by the congregation that an immediate order was given to the same artist, Mr. E. Baillie, of Cumber land-market, Regent's-park, by whom the new win dows have been erected within these few days, and from the general approbation expressed of their bar. monising with the architectural style of the church, while the glare of light which hitherto prevailed is so admirably softened, another refutation is given to the opinion pr ev al en t in some q uarters, that none but othic churches can be appropriately decorated with stained glass, and will evidently show that it can be effectively introduced into any church of whatever style of architecture. Each of the new windows is arranged in six com artments. The western displays in the upper por tion a beautiful emblematic design of " The Lamb bearing the Flag," tastefully arranged amidst elabo rated ornaments upon a gorgeously rich blue ground ; the lower portion of this opening is filled with beau tiful scroll work in chastely arranged colours, com prising the brilliant ruby (which has at length 'eaen brought to equal the celebrated specimens of ancient manufacture) combined with rose-pink, purple, y e ll ow , an d v arious tints of green. The two ride openings are in panels, enclosed within a rich ruby and _„ a bold yellow ornamental margin, and displaying cor e manner. blue singlepartmen back ground effective, throwi ng und of similar aspe c t, scroll on a blue ground. The other are treated in a similar manner. The windo w w ev as indo the window is truly brilliant and up the ornaments in a very pro minent The eastern window presents a at the top the base of each of thethe centre only variation being in the emblem cen.tre, which is " The Dove."

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 18. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL.) .Alice Shaw, aged 23, was indicted for the wilful murder of her new born child, at Liverpool, on the 25th of March last. Mr. Preston prosecuted, and Mr. Monk defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner had been housemaid in the family of a gentleman named Ripley, residing in Abercrombie-square, for about five years. No sus picion was excited that she was in the familyway. On the morning of the 25th of March she was at breakfast as usual, and went upstairs to attend to her duties. When the servants called her down to din- ner they received no answer, and on going up stairs they discovered the prisoner lying on the floor of one of the rooms insensible. Mr. Nottidge, a surgeon, was immediately called in, and discovered that she had been recently delivered of a child. In an adjoin ing bedroom the newly-born body of a female child, with a flannel handkerchief wrapped round its neck and the tongue protruding, was found in a wash basin. Oa a post mortem examination of the child the lungs were found to be congested. In the opinion of the surgeon the child had been born alive, and had died from drowning. Mr. MONS, for the defence, contended that the test of the child having been born alive—that its lungs floated, was now exploded, and there was no satisfac tory evidence to show that the child had ever lived. Assuming it to have been born alive, there was no satis factory evidence that the prisoner had caused its death, as she might have become insensible while at tempting to clean the child. His LORDSUIP summed up, directing the jury that if they were not satisfied that the evidence was con clusive as to the main charge they must acquit her, as there was no evidence to support a verdict of con cealing the birth. The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. James 111`Donald, aged 18, and John .211 a nor, aged 18, were indicted fcr a garotte robbery on James M‘Kowne, at Liverpool, on the 23d of April last. Mr. Simo n prosecuted ; the prisoners were un defended. It appeared the ros e cutor was a pig and cattle dealer, and ab ou t 12 o'clock on the night of Friday, the 23d of April, he was proceeding towards his lodg ings in Upper Milk-street, when he was attacked near there by five men, who seized him by the throat and pinioned him. Having prevented him from making any resistance, they robbed him of 145/. in gold and notes, upwards of 1001. pound of it being in sove reigns, after which they made off. Tho prosecutor, who is an Irishman, knew the men, who were also Irish, by sight, and afterwards identi fied the two prisoners, who were apprehended at Ormskirk, having changed there one of the Si. notes, which was proved to have been paid to the prosecutor by a man in Birmingham a few days before in a pur chase of come pigs. The prisoners, in defence, said they found the pro secutor lying drunk under a lamp-post, and his money lying beside him, The jury f oun d t h e pr i s oners Guilty. His LORDSHI P , in passing sentence, said it was shuckin g t o think how prevalent the crime of which the prisoners had been found guilty had become in this part of the country, and it was necessary to make an example of them. The sentence of the Court was that they be transported for fifteen years. John Dowd was iialicted for having, at Liverpool, on the sth of April, murdered Thomas Conway. Mr. T. Atkinson and Mr. Ilibleert prosecuted, and Mr. M'Oubray defended the prisoner. It appeared, that on Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning, the sth of April, the prisoner and the deceased had a quarrel in Albert-street, Toxteth park, the orign of the quarrel not being clearly known. Both were drunk, and began to fight. After having fought three or four rounds fairly, as described by several witnesses who were present, the prisoner was seen to pull a claspknife out of his Packet, open it, and then return it into his pocket. He then again challenged the deceased to renew the fight, and two or three more rounds were fought. A woman named Mary Holland interfered, and per suaded the deceased to fight no more. The deceased then walked towards his home a few yards, when he was followed by the prisoner and stabbed in the side. The prisoner then walked sharply off, but was followed and taken into custody by a policeman. When apprehended he denied all knowledge of the matter. The deceased was immediately taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died shortly after wards of acute inflammation produced by the wound. His dying declaration was taken, which in substance stated that he and the prisoner went into a whiskey shop, had some drink together, and quarrelled ; that they then went out and began to fight, and fpught several rounds, when he refused to fight any more, and the prisoner stabbed him as he was going away. They were both drunk at the time. On the case being closed for the prosecution, His LORDSHIP asked whether the counsel for the prosecution, after this evidence, could contend that the facts amounted to more than evidence of the crime of manslaughter, which he thought could not be denied by the Learned Counsel for the prisoners. Both Counsel having assented to this view, by the direction of his Lordship, the jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter. He was sentenced to be imprisoned for two years with hard labour. Sabrina Mooney, aged 22, and Mary Mooney, her m aged 60, were indi cte d f or t h e mur d er o f th e f infant child of th e younger pr i soner at e m ot a h l e e r War rington on the 9th of July last. Mr. Monk appeared for the ,prosecution, and Mr. John Cross, assigned by the Court, defended the prisoners. I t a ppeared that the two prisoners lived in a court called Grimes-court, at W arr i ngton, an d th a t f or some weeks prior to the 9th of July last the younger ' prisoner was observed to be stouter than usual. On the night of the 9th of July, about eight o'clock, the younger prisoner was observed to go into the privy in the yard, she having previously been brought home in a cart ill. A short time afterwards cries of " Mother, mother," were heard to proce e d f rom th e privy, and a neighbour hearing them told the elder prisoner that her daughter was crying out for her. The mother went into the and was seen after rds leading er daughter away. She consulted a wards neighbour about her, tellin g her that her daughter had been taken with a violent hemorrhage for the first time for nine months, in consequence of a cold she then got. The prisoner was put to bed, but, suspi cion arising, the privy was afterwards searched, and in the soil, deeply imbedded, a newly-born infant child was found. On examination, the umbilical cord was found to have been broken, and the lungs ap peared to have been inflated, and from other appear ancesthe surgeons called in were of opinion that the child had been born alive. The lungs crepitated and floated, and part of the soil was found in the bronchial tubes. Mr. C 1; had for the defenc e , urged that the eld er h a d evidently gone only to assist her prisoner d aug hter, a nd that the dau g ht e r had been tak en in labour in the privy, and the child had fallen into the soil. A s to the daughter, however she might b e liable to the charge of endeavouring to conceal the birth of her c hild, she w to as not on the evidence gu il ty ed her. of the charge imp ut His LORDSHIP summed up, and The jury found the younger prisoner Guilty of concea l men t of birth, and Acquittedithe elder pri soner. She was sen t e nced to be imprisoned for six ca l endar months. In the Nisi Prius Court an action for dam ages in a between two vessels at sea oc cu • a collision case pie the part of the day.
