The grand jury having been sworn and empanelled, . h e RECORD ER p rocee d e d to c h arge the grand jury. -- lue said he was happy to inform them that there was "eY prospect o f t h e i r l a b ours b e i ng unusually light, kid it was, therefore, not his intention to detain them With any lengthened observations. Indeed, there was only o ne case in the calendar that it was at all necessary he should make any remark upon, and that was a ) eharg e p re f erre d un d er a special Act of Par. 'lame n t of attempting to drown a person. It aPpeared from the depositions in this case, W hich he had had an opp ortun i ty of looking over, that the party charged was ac cuse d o f h aving attempte d to the w a policeman from a v esse l l y i ng i n the r i ver, with thintention of murdering him. Of course the crime eparty was accused o f const i tute d the attempt, but ee was a second question to be di.,posed cf, namely, Was the attempt made with the intent to commit murder. 4 t was, however, no part of their duty to go into the mi• a uto details of each case; it was enough tor them to be satisfied that there was a sufficient amount of evidence 1 0 justify their sending the charge before another jury, teacl h e should, theretere, recommend them not to em barrass themselves with all the particulars of every case that came before them. The their dutiesgrand jury then r e t urned to the discharge of HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. 'Pe learn with much regret that the Loedon public e nd the interests of musical art in this country, are about to lose one of their most zoelouss and able ser vants, Mr. Lumley having determined on retiriug at th e end of the present season from the important enterprise oe, W i t ht which his name has been so long associated. yye d refer more particularly to circumstances which must be so fre s h i n the minds of our re a der s as the combination of die 6 tind nu ties and adverse events with which this spirited persevering gentleman has had to contend. It is to t"r°eteared that he is a very heavy sufferer from the ex natimn ° liberality which ho has uniformly displayed in infl uence rendered unproductive to himself by the 1%34,0443! circumstances, for which he was in no way to i nvit It seams that Mr. Lumley ia now prepared pro tro and posals for a lease of her Majesty's Thee- Concert-room and we have no doubt that 1 2 1, _ 101 . 1 . an enterprise will not long be unheeded by the Capitalists of the artistic world. The French Govern- Ment, it will be remembered, have lately increased the subvention of the Opera at Paris, of which M L ley is also manager, and it is said that they r h . am. him forthe ahveeviyt further in contemplation to indemnity loss which he has sustained from the ruinous influenc: of the great political events of the last two years in Paris. To the management of this branch of his undertaking We are informed that Mr. Lumley's energies will in futur e be confined, and since we depend so much on Paris as a channel and test for our importation of dra matic art, it will be some consolation to us that we may still benefit in some degrce by his judgment and enter prise. ---- FIR E CAUSED BY TUE RAYS OF THE S UN .— The weather yesterday was intensely hot. The thermometer in blthe Shade towards the middle of the day stood as high as ood heat. Ab ou t half-past twelve o'clock the r a y s o f the ti b ecame concentrated up on a sma ll timber building be longing to Mr. W. Jones, of 77, Albany-road, Camberwell, and the heat was so great that the premises immediately af terwards ignited, when the flames shot forth in a great body. The engines of the London Brigade and West of England ttlice were dispatched to the spot, but the fire could not be extinguished until the buildin g was nearly burned down. Mr. Jones wished insured in the Al,i,ince Fire-office.

No. CCLVIII. NEWMARKET AND WORCESTER RACES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Three out of the four stakes on the list for decision to-morrow at Newmarket are at present of the skeleton description; the other, the July Stakes, will be contested by a very small field, consisting of the Reiver, Phry gia or Vest, probably the former, one of General Any, n's, arid perhaps Amazon, War-Whoop, and The Creole. THE REIVER, as a matter of course, will trim. Tee match between Lord Exeter's Dove and the Duke of Bedford's Oasis, if not terminating in a forfeit, will bo won by the former. The match for one hundred, over the last half mile of be won by the former, con,idering that the latter con the new T.Y.C., b etween Vicandiere ant i Flirt, oug h t to cedes ter a year. The WORCESTER Summer Meeting is sum. what better than usual this year, there h t ill; a plentiful supply of stakes, and the majority well fill e d. Th e meet i ng e xtends ov er two days—to-morrow and Wednesday—and rill commence with the Severn Stakes, a mile and a quarter spin, which Prime Miui,ter and Truth will fight out. The Two Years Old Stakes will, I believe, result in a walk over for Sextus er Chilton. __ The Tracest;; ; ;llandicap, a mile and a quarter run, will, not unlikely, attract three-6 arths of the nomina tions to the post, SLEEPING PARTNER and MAY DAY clearing the winning chair first and second. The Worcestershire Stakes, unlike the Handicap at Newmarket, has obtained a strong acceptance, number ing twenty-five, ten or eleven of which, it is said, will be sure to start. As a good deal of bolting had taken place upon this stake, I will enter into a few particulars concerning it. Nancy figures at the head of the acceptances, but she will not start.

Incomparably the best portrait of the Prince Louis Napoleon is the one recently published by M r . M‘Lean, of the Haymarket. Painted by Sir William Charles Ross, R.A., it has been engraved in one of the highest styles of art by M. F. Joubert. Last season the original miniature was exhibited in the Royal Academy. During the time of its production the artist bad the honour of obtaining several sittings in the Palace of the Elysee, and admirably has he availed himself of the opportunity , in giving to the world the most correct likeness yet painted of the illustrious personage represented. The p3rtrait is at full length. The Prince is standing. His costume is the uniform of a general in the French arm ; and the va rious accessories introduced in the picture are cleverly arranged and ingeniously pourtrayed. Under any cir cumstances a life-iike representation of Louis Napoleon —or, as he is now officially designated, Son Altesse Imperiale Monseigneur le Prince President de la Republique Franciise—could not fail to be interest ing. As the representative of the house of Bona parte, as the heir to the glory of Napoleon, as the son of King Louis by Queen Hortense, and as the grandson of the Empress Josephine—he must have commanded some degree of attention bad he still re mained in the privacy of his long exile from his fatherland. Besides these adventitious claims upon public notice, however, the Prince Louis Napoleon possesses others of a personal and honourable charac ter. His romantic adventures, his extraordinary vicissitudes, and, above all, his surprising elevation to supreme power in the very land where he had con tinued for six years a state prisoner in the fortress of Hams—secure to him a place in history, while they extort, in some manner at least, the sympathies of his co ntemporaries. Thrice elected by his fellow-coun try, men—flrs'ly, when called from banishment to the National Assembly by six different consti tuencies, secondly, when nominated President for four years by six millions of free citizens, and thirdly, when chosen for the same office for ten years addi tional by nearly eight millions of votes (votes ren dered doubly important by being the fruits of the ballot and of universal suffrage)—his authority ha s been legitimately derived from the population. The responsibility of his august position be appears, more over, to have in a great measure recognised and ap preciated—accepting as the foundations of his Go vernment (as he himself has recently intimat e d).— " the people the source of all power , the army the source of all force, and religion the source of a ll justice." Whatever may be the opinion entertained in reference to some of his past acts—it must be ad mitted that be has secured to France the advantages of a strong and energetic administration. Under his influence the ties of family have been reunited, the rights of property have been defended, while 'he entire fabric of society h as beengra dually but, for that very reason, perh a p s , only the more thoroughly reorganiz ed. 'As a n author he had already obtained considerab le distin ction by iris work on the " Extinction of Pa u p eris m , " by his various writings explanatory of .Napoleoniani ro," and especially by that literary mas terpiece whi c h has been accepted as a text book in the English as well as in the French military colleges, the "History of Artillery," a subject peculiarly appropriate to have been selected by a Bonaparte. As a statesman and an administrator be has now an opportunity of com manding the admiration by securing the gratitude of posterity. Future events will more clearly demonstrate whether his capacities are fully equal to the occasion now afforded for their development. Under every consideration, however, the splendid engraving here issued from the establishment of Mr. M‘Lean, of the Haymarket, will be regarded with curiosity by a ll parties alike, as that of one of the most powerful a n d remarkable among the European potentates.

MONDAY .EVENING, JULY 5, 1'852. 1 TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. (CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.) Sir,-0a Wednesdey the 80 h of June, the most interesting occurreece in the House was a motimi of Lord Dudley Stuart on the sal ject of a Polish refugee, au cificer of Horse Artillery, who had been treated to a specimen of British hospitality at Ports mouth, in the shape of imprisonment with hard labour for fourteen days, on the plea, which after all appears to be contested, that he had asked relief. It would be curious to know what a British officer of Horse Artillery would do; if he found himself a political refugee at Cronstadt or some other Russian naval depat. The outpouring of personal violence in the possessors of power, is the leading evil of the day, and one that calls most loudly for the attention of the public. On Thursday the House was prorogued with the usual forms. The Speech therefore is the last act of Ministers, connected with the expiring Parliament. There is something dishonouring to the Crown, in the mention made of Rangoon ; an affair, by the accounts which the concerned give of their own objects and proceedings, conceived with a view to the plunder of provinces, and conducted in a manner revolting to honourable men. The probability is, that it was introduced into the Speech with a view to charging us " teeth -money" at some coming time. As to the plea of insults and injuries to British sub jects, the public has no more confidence in the fact, than if an old gentleman with his dividends in his pocket, was found accused by the swell mob of having hustled them. The Speech is further made to contain a thinly dis guised admission, of the point much stood upon both at home and abroad on the subject of the Militia Bill ; namely, that the Militia is prepared in aid of operations by the regular army. In proof of not being solitary in this opinion, I refer to the Timm If such preparation was necessary, the preparation was right ; and if it was necessary to parade it in the Queen's Speech, the parade was right. But to those who think the preparation was unnecessary and still more the parade, the fact will appear in the light of an error either in judgment or in design. It will not fail to play into the hands of the French journalists (if journalists may be said to exist i e France) who held out the arraying of the Militia in England as a reason for increased military establishments on the continent. It is part of the general trade of war, to be carried on by mutual consent. In what was said in my last on the subject of the Income-tax, I fear it was not made sufficiently clear, that the assumption throughout was that the Income• tax is to be perpetual. The very promoters of what was put before the working classes as injustice, pro fess their desire and intention to be, that the Income tax shall be perpetual. Nobody but a few avowed sticklers for avoiding their own share of taxation, dreams of anything but the Income- tax in one way or other being perpetual ; the working classes may he congratulated on their cause having got so far. It is virtually admitted, by all but the remnant alluded to, that the taxation can not continue to be accumulated upon the poor and the men of lower incomes, but that the rich must submit to come forward, and out of their riches help to pay. To bear this in mind, will possibly assist in avoiding miespprehensions of the foregone. At this time when the people have a sort of holi day of power, there mate use in noting a fallacy considerably below par in the scale of intellectual strength, which has been thrown out from influential sources on the subject of the Duration of Parlia ments. The Parliaments since the Reform Bill have been demonstrably shorter than before, and even the last, though longer than its pred ec e sso r s , h as b een little more than two-thirds of the extreme term as signed. 2herefore what use can there be in asking 'to shorten the Duration of Parliaments? This is the wisdom of the wise ; and I ask the electors all over the country to sift it. Suppose a whist-party to have played for money, and that for several games in succession the honours had all been found dealt to one side. Would it have made no difference in all that is connected with the subject, whether this had happened as it did, or whe ther the play had taken place under a provision that one side was to have all the honours ? It seems to me that there is the same difference between Parlia ments being limited by law to a short term, and Par liaments being for a short term by chance. On the same evening the Dissolution of Parlia ment was announced ; so the balloon is launched, to sink or swim, as the concerned may conduct the business. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. Blackheath, sth July, 1852. COURT CIRCULAR.

TIMES.—The only danger to which the country is exposed during the forthcoming election lies in this— that it is well nigh impossible to inspire soy body of men with an opinion of the serious nature of the impending C ontest. We all know whit the eoefliet would he if once the people of England believed that the law of 1846 was in danger. But no one believes it. Lord Derby does not believe it. Messrs. Bright and Cobden do not believe it. Sir Charles Keightley and Mr. Back do not believe it. We are condemned to play out a weary farce in the dog-days in order that the leaders of the Protection Rump may be able to prate about their " consistency" to their immediate supporters. There is not a shadow of troth or reality in• the whole business. " Give me a majority," says Lord Derby with one breath, "and I will tax the people's food." But in the next sentence ho de clares his own convinction that the opinion of the comae try has set so completely in the other direction that it will be impossible for any Government in future to carry out such a policy. Is this the way in which a British statesman appeals to the country upon a great princi ple? " I know the opinion of the country is dead against me, and I know my late opinions were in per fect antagonism with the convictions of the majority. I k n ow we have not a c h ance o f success, b ut to t h e coun try let us appeal, for the fashion's sake. I have to copsider my own supporters and my own political character first, and the public interests next. It is very true there may be a certain disadvantage in rousing up political animosities over th e grave, o f a m i sta k es principle ; ,but what w ill t h e world say to Lord Derby s character for prescience if he yields without a struggle in 185 2 the ground he never should have contested in 1846?

We see the construction of ships advancing in every shipwright's yard, and the entries outwards and inwards vastly in creased, although we are told all the while of imminent ruin. We know that the trade and commerce of the country were never in so elastic and prosperous a con dition us at present. Whether all this with reference to the great legislative settlement of 1846 is to be consi dered a poet hoe or a propter hoc we leave it to the constituencies to determine. London, the capital of the empire; as of right, has taken the lead. If we are to judge from the information we have yet received, the present Liberal Members will be again returned to give a very emphatic "No I" to all propositions for restoring the old system. There is but one Protec tionist , who seems inclined to face a metropolitan constituency, and that one is Lord Maidstone. It will be the duty of the constituency to which he addresses himself: to deal with him according to his merits. Mean whila, nothing is more clear than that London is secure. We trust that the example of the metropolitan electors will soon be followed by others, and that we shall have every morning for the next fortnight to set. forth the particulars of the majority with which Lord Derby will be called upon to settle accounts at the meeting of Par liament. Meanwhile it must not be lost sight of for a moment that Lord Derby really appears to the country o n the question of free trade or protection. All other considerations must be lost sight of, that this important point may be definitively set at rest. DAILY NEWS.—It is within the memory of many Of us that Kew Gardens wero the only place in England --England so renowned for centuries for her gardening —wherb foreign plants were found in any variety; and the curious plants in Kew Gardens, at the beginning of the century, were chiefly from New Holland. By the courtesy whi c h o f ten redeems the brutalities of war, the botanists and fl or i sts of E urope maintained an (libelee° where all others were foes; but though they sharsd one ano'herts knowledge, they could do little in the way of exchange of plants. In the midst of the storms of the Fri-nch revolutionary war, a solitary dahlia was che rished in the greenhouse of a MArchioness ; and Lady Holland brought more from Spain in the beginning of the century . but the acquisition was an aristocratic marvel. The China rose was another such marvel ; and it was not till the sunshine of pace spread through the land, that it took firm root in the cottager's garden and began to peep into his lattice. It is very different now. At hundreds of flower-shows cotta gas exhibit thousands of dahlias far more splendid than the Marchioness of the last century dreamed of; and when Cleopatra gave 2001 for the roses for a single feast, it is pretty certain that her expensive luxury was less brilliant than the children of many an English vil loge could now exhibit. If peace carries her horn of plenty, she bears also her cornucopia of beauty. We have reason to say so; for in our islands she has shed abroad flowers from all the lands that the sun shines upon. It "was not that the taste for this innocent charm was ever wanting among our people. In the most dreary days of the war, when taxes were most abundant, and food was mcst scarce, there were thousands of the poor, who, hoping nothing else, hoped for the blooming of their flowers. The Spitalfields weaver fed Iris tulips, w hil e he himself was hungering. Many who had nothing else had a geranium, in a bottle, in the window. We remember seeing, in those dismal days, a starve hng child poking with rusty scissors between the flints in a paved yard to plant a daisy. The taste was there inextinguishable, and now it seems to be finding its gratification more and more abundantly with every added year of peace. Witness the annual increase of flower shows through the length and breadth of the land. There is, perhaps, no popular indication more cheering than this. It is an instance of the true working of na tural laws which we seldom see in so unquestiona n ble t . 0 shape. It may be always true, that the rich s he d . 1 1 wise are eventually the servants of the poor and tig norant; but we do not often see this great truth . so _ clearly ' HIV. in France illustrated. The Arabs in Spain, Louis a • f the nobles of Italy, the monks of Germany, our ,,,e own Bacon and Evelyn, our dukes and peeresses, were those_ who sowed our cottage gardens with the flowers bt all climes, and grafted fruits for our peasant ,chil children to deal 4 ) their time gather. They loitered away a good 1 in cultivating echoes instead of orchards, and laying out shellwork instead of flower beds, and con; riving bowers of water instead of blossoms; but they did good permanent work too, as our flower and fruit festivals now show. The work will not stop here. Our generation will be the servants of a future one, as th e past has been of ours. The present euuntrj is working fur the future town. If scienoe has prepared the way For production, present production will preface the way for future science. The mese acceptance of bootee of this virtuous kind is an offering of a new boon to an unborn time. To secure this, hoe ever, sea must not make too sure of the benefit. There are instances before our eyes which show that barbarism m-iy return upon this most innocent development of civilisetion. It, the country where Cleopatra so regaled her guests with roses, the wretched women of the Paella's harem know 'no better than to romp among the flewer-betis, in the garden at It de, and trami.le, down the choice,t plants. lii Persia and Tue key, w hi ch once h s d m ore flower-wh , dom and beauty than all ether countries in she world, an Eurepsan gar d ener can on ly break hie heart, for want of sympathy.

It is pl easant to thank oldie intere , et about the wetither7hitherto I h e stand ing joke against the farmers —extending to many who have WI now bad but few interests at all. There are many who once 1e: cloud and sunshine pass over them unobserved, end cared for frost and drought only u s they were in want of fire and water—many who grow quick and observant about the atmosphere and the hours, and luso their listlessness in those innocent soli citudes about vegetation which are one of the charms of rural hie. It is pleasant to think of the new tie estab lished between town and country, when the country people strive for the verdict of the town, and the townspeople owe a new pleasure to their humble neighbours of the lanes and fitlie. It is pleasant to see how the dwellers in dim streets and narrow attics become eager about allotments, and handle the spade in the evenings instead of the pint pot. It is pleasant to see the ycung gaining knowledge, even science, through the channel which overflows at the same time with health and pleasure. It is all pleasant —every aspect of the fact of the growth of horticulture, shown in the increasing popularity of flower-shows—from that of Chiswick and the Royal Botanical to—where is the bottom of the scale ? There is an end of the scale; for there are too many places in England still where there are no popular pursuits or interests at all—still nothing better than the public-house. There is no suitable ground for cricket—the people have forgotten how to wrestle—they never hear any music—there is no theatre, good or bad—there is no reading-room. One sober youth tries to understand geometry, and another makes a little museum of mineralogy: bat there is no common interest, and no amusement out of the public-house. A siray lecturer, perhaps comes, makes a few of them un easy, and goes away where he does not see them drop back into drink, simply from having nothing else to do. Why have these people no .gardens? AO why? Ask gentry why. Press the landowners for a reason why there should not be, in all their wide neighbourhood, a garden for every man who can pay rent for it, and flower-shows, the whole summer through, for all who love to look at flowers, and all who would be proud to grow them.

On that day N o . 2 was apub lished,lsuted,aonfd which which heiht ho c ontained, as he had been informed, the most unfounded calumnies against him. This was a mere election squib, and it would go off like a squib. It was not a heavy cannon, and therefore would not bring Mr. Chambers down.—(Cheers.) Another manoeuvre was the issuing of handbills reflecting upon the other candi dates, and which were said to emanate from his com mittee; but the fact was, his party bad nothing to do with the printing of these offensive handbills. Another manoeuvre was the assertion that because he was a Liberal and a Reformer he wished to cause a great re duction, or, in fact, shut up those great public establish ments, the dockyard and arsenal at Woolwich and Dept f o r —and thereforeN ow , he e hwea had s a Reformer—and desire to public establishments, but he was an xious to remove the defects which existed, and place them in a state of efficiency, so that it wou ld be ructe true th ß os e e fo great none cessery to have our large vessels built by private colts tracters.—(Loud cheers.) He wished to diminish the feebleness and not the strength of these establishments.

He trusted that those employed in the dockyards and arsenal would not believe that they would injure their interests by voting for him. He told them it would nut, it could not, it should not.—(Cheers.) He had recently heard some secrets with regard to certain under-scrappers.— (Cheers ) He told them not to be influenced or cajoled by Jacks-in-dfice—(Load cheers) These thought they recommended themselves to those in power by endeavouring to influence the voters., but thiy were mis taken.

Mr. Chambers con cluded a most eloquent address by urging the electors not to relax their exertions on his behalf. In reply to ' questions from electors, Mr. Chambers then avowed nimself in favour of household suffrage, law reform, the establishment of the representative system in all British colonies, and other popular measures, A resolution pledging the meeting to support Mr. Chambers was then unanimously pissed, and the im mense assembly separated. SOUTLIAMP.TON, SATURDAY. The Secretary to the Admiralty paid a visit of inspec tion to this port to-day, and, on arrival, was received by Captain Austin, R.N., the Admiralty Superintendent of Packets, Lieutenant d'Aranda, R.N., &c. After being shown round the docks, tidal-basin, graving -dock, &c., by Captain Peacock, the doekmaster, Mr. Stafford visited the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Bentinck and other vessels, and shortly afterwards embarked on board the South-Western Company's steamer Courier, Captain James Goodridge, jun. (one of the Southampton and Jersey Royal Mail packets), for a trip to Spithead and Cowes Roads. The Courier is one of the almost unrivalled packets belonging to the South-Western Steam Company, and, in common with her consort, the Despatch, commanded by Captain Bebop, attains the highest speed of any of the sea going Channel steamers that hare yet been built. From 16 to 17 mites an boar in ordinary weather is the average speed of these beautiful vessels. The Curler having recently been thoroughly overhauled end fir t d with Messrs, Lamb and Sommers's pat e nt Mae b oi j era (similar to many recently supplied to steam ships of the Peninsular and Oriental Company), con siderable interest was felt to ascertain the result of the improv ements. A Lumber of gentlemen eoenectsd with steam navigation ecceenpanied the Secretary of the Adwiralty •un this excursion, among whom w, re— Captain Engledue, R N., the superintendent. and Mr. Andrew Lamb, the engineer-in. chief of the Peninsular Captain R.

George Mills, the engineer-in chief of the Roy al West India Mail Company; Colonel Henderson, director, and Mr. William Green, manager of the South Western Seam Navigation Company; Mr. A. B a illi e C oc h rane, Capeain Jer ninghem, &e. The performances of the Courier Were in every way eatistectcry. and fully ,justified the expectations which were oats ruined, eliciting the praise of till the gentlemen on beard, not only fur the great speed at which the vessel was propelled through the water, but also for the entire absence of unpleasant mo tion. The Courier will immediately commence carrying tier Nit,j,-sty's mails to and from the Channel Islands in conjunction with the Despatch, the passage from Jersey and Guernsey to Southampton by these vessels occupy ing only nine to ten hours. The party returned to Southampton about seven o'clock in the evening, after a very pleasant trip, the creature comforts of the guests having been well cared fur at a dejeuner provided on board by Captain Goodridge.

We are assured, and we have re doubt of the tact, that the order for these weapons WdS given by an alderman of this town, and we have n o doubt wnatever that these weapons were intended for defence or aggression, or both, at the election. We are also told, and we have no doubt of the tact, that weapons equally formidable, but on a different principle, are bei,g manulactured in other rlaces. Th ese weapons are all made atter the model suggested by an Italian refugee, some years a go, to the Chartists.
