" We will not undertake the invidious task of pointing out the originals of tha clever portraits hung up for public exhibition in these volumes ; but we cannot refrain from remarting that the author has shown artistic judgment in her admixture of the gay and grave, and t h a t he,. light colours of satire and comedy are rendered more effective by a contrast with the sombre hues of sentiment and pathos." —Morning Post.

The labouring classes of the metropolis ought to feel thernselveg under very great obligations to the Bishop of LONDON for the zealous and persevering manner in which that Right Reverend Prelate has advocated their personal, intellectual, and moral im provement in relation to the subject of cleanliness. There is something so truly practical, we may al most call it something so truly philosophical ; in the repnerative•moyement which has latterly bee n a m . bitioned for the industrial poor, and of which move ment the Bishop of LONDON has been the principal originator, that we regard every additional evidence of its onward march with a satisfaction of an in effable character. 'We have already so fully expa tiated upon the necessity of propagating a love for cleanliness among the multitude, as a preliminary step to their more spiritual culture, that any further dallying upon this question would, we are willing to believe, be considered as superfluous. We have demonstrated the absurdity of erecting museums, and constructing fountains, and endowing lectureships, and of laying cut pleasure-grounds for the amusement or instruction of the population, when that population is permitted to continue so massed and caked-up in the degradation of filth—filth of body, filth of apparel, and filth of dwelling-house —as to be altogether precluded from participation in such elevating studies or such humanizing enjoy ments. Let us endeavour to purge away the leaven of " the earth earthiness" before we attemp t to instilleaven"the heaven heavenliness" —knowledge I Let us col lect the diamonds of human intelligence and human capacity from their circumambient mire, let us re move from them that griming of dirt with which they are tarnished, before we venture urn the more e l a b o rate task of carving o r of polishing ! Let us deprive the satirists henceforth of those scorn ful phrases which they have employed fox the villi fication of the rabble—that rabble which from ages immemorial, from the antique days of JUVENA L, have been stigmatised as " swinish," and which humour ists of this generation have variously designated the " unwashed " and the " unsoaped !" Whether we regard the matter i n it s p h ys i o l og i ca l applica tion, in its tendency to diminish the periodical mortality, in its power as an instrument of demoralisation, the cleanliness of the working classes assumes a greater importance, as a means of benefiting both themselves and the general com munity, than the superficial observer would at first be inclined to imagine. The Right Reverend Prelate, whose exertions in this cause have already elicited our applause, has regarded the matter in this particular light, and filled with an inward consciousness of the immea surable benefits which must result from any sys tematic encouragement of this love for cleanliness, he has permitted no opportunity to escape wherein he might aid, however slightly, in the acquisition of such encouragement to the cause. From thisqA considerations the petitions just laid be fore the House of Lords by the Bishop of LONDON, calling upon the Legislature to sanction the morale of this new agitation, have to us a peculiar at traction, while the suavity of their recep tion by the Peers, and the approbatory addenda of the Marquis of NORMANDY and Lord KINNAIRD, render the presentations of those petitions satisfactory as well as attractive. What the peti tioners appear to be peculiarly desirous of obtaining from their Lordships is simply the permission, through a Bill, for parishes to borrow certain moneys on the securities of the rates for the purpose of erecting baths and wash-houses, the dimensions of such establishments being proportionately extensive with the census of each individual parish, or with the peculiar destitution into which its inhabitants are plunged. Their Lordships have, therefore, only one circumstance to take into consideration before com plying with the prayer of these said petitioners, and that circumstance is obvious enough. Not the pre valence of filthiness among the most poorly provided, and the most prodigiously populated districts, espe cially of the metropolis and of the larger cities of the empire—for that has already been suffi ciently proved I Not the anxiety for such convenient structures which has spread through out these districts—for experiment has eluci dated the existence of this anxiety ! Not these or a thousand other similar particulars, but simply whether there be any stability in this phi lanthropic speculation. That, we take it, is the only point of the policy of such an inova tion which requires the scrutiny of our legislators before they award it their definitive sanction ; and honestly we are certain that such an investigation will only tend to prove that these establishments, when once set in operation, will support themselves—they will have the perpetuation of their own vitality within them. Liverpool authen ticates this assumption, so does Glasshouse-yard; so, also, do the 65,000 persons who have bathed in the Serpentine alone during the past eight days. We look for the speedy introduction, and the unanimous acceptance, of a Bill for the Promotion of Cleanliness 1 Sir Wriu,rAst SOMERVILLE on Monday moved an Tilifi m a t , i;Aßni ec Bl l irTe ea iiPfi ANA 'fig c Ra been made on Saturday at the meeting which took place at Lord JOHN Russ ELL'S. The same fatality which has already occurred on two several occa sions during the first reading of the Bill, viz., the counting out of the House for want of the attendance of forty Members, was barely avoided by the hurrying in of several Members from the library, refreshment-rooms, and other ad joining apartments, while the galleries were clearing for the purpose of counting the Members present— the same catastrophe had a second time nearly taken place on a similar motion, which was prevented by a like rapid entrance. A stronger proof could not have been exhibited of the little interest felt by the Members of the House in the arguments on the question than the difficulty that existed of assembling and keeping together so small a number as that required to constitute a House, during the discussion of a measure involving so many serious and important considerations. In fact, the House had already been surfeited, usque ad nauseam, with the prolonged discussion which had heretofore taken place, the several parties had already fully and entirely made up their minds as to the course which they would adopt,, and the division might have been taken in the first instance without any difference in the result. Lord LINCOLN made his first official speech as Secretary for Ireland in support of the Bill. His Lordship admitted the unconstitutional char • of the measure, and that it could only be justified a stern necessity, by a state of things in which life and property could not be maintained by any enact ments confined within the Constitution. This is the principle on which the argument must be based, and 1 the onus probandi rests on the Government seeking such extraordinary powers to establish a case suffi ciently strong to warrant the House in for a time in fringing on the liberty of the subject. The Right Hon. Secretary read a variety of details, and quoted from the evidence taken under Lord DEvoN's Commission, but the great majority of the cases cited had occurred some time before, and were now decidedly too stale for the required object, and the later ones which were brought forward were happily not of so fearful a character, of so harrowing a nature, as those which had been adduced by Lord ST. GERMANS when bringing the measure forward in the Lords, or much as to require extraordinary means for their suppression. It is not as a punishment for offences that had already token place within the disturbed districts, but as a means of prevention of future out rage, that the measure could be sanctioned. If there was so great a diminution of these offences, no matter what might be the cause which led to that happy result, there could no longer be a necessity for an enactment to s u p press that which had no existence. The princip a l i nterest i n to know the intenti ons and the line of conduct by them. Lord G-. B arrr icx. stated those intentions, and in a tone and spirit little grave assembly legislating on a matter suited of vast na tional interest. H th e second reading of debate, however, was the e to a which ,protectionist party, would be pursued e stated his intention o f - ofprincipally the measure, °l,Posing on R delay which had taken place, account of the great mainly attributable to his and which delay was with which he acted Lordship himself and the party in opposing the great measures of the session. It was not that his Lordship objected to the measure as inimical to the liberties of the Irish nation, as uncalled for by the circumstances of t he times. The party with which his Lordship is identified have seldom evinced much interest for the liberties of the Irish people, and during the former debate on the subject, it will be remembered that he said, if the Government delayed the Bill, even a single day, they would be responsible for the blood of every man murdered in Ireland. The true motive by which he was influenced will now be ap parent ; he cared not how Ireland was dealt with, if the corn-laws could still be retained, nay, if a delay could be interposed before their final annihilation. And having been defeated in that object, and the fate of his darling protection virtually . decided, he little regards the particular measure be fore the Rouse, or his own recorded opinions thereon, I provided he is in any manner enabled to damage that Government by whose exertions the monopolists have been so signally defeated. Such a motive will not command much respect throughout the nation, or impress the public with a favourable opinion of the Noble Lord's qualifications as a Miniterial leader, should he ever, unfortunately for the country, be placed in such a position. Intelligence has been received in Paris from Lisbon of the dissolution of the PALMELLA Cabinet. Madrid papers of the 2d have been received. The contract of the salt-springs of Spain, which is held by M. SALAMANCA, is on the point of expiring, and as the Duke of RIANZARES, the husband of Queen CHRISTINA, is interested in the contract, which is a most profitable affair, the QUEEN-MOTHER has actively interfered to procure from the Government a renewal of the contract. The measure, however, being prejudicial to the interests of the country, was firmly resisted by M. It.loN and his colleagues, to the great chagrin of Queen CHRISTINA. This affair, it is said, had nearly produced another Minis terial crisis. Don ENRIQUE was at Bayonne on the 4th of June, having postponed his journey to Brussels. MADRID BOLSA, JUNE 2.—The Three per Cents. were not quoted, but sold privately at 33* for cash, and 33+ for time. The shares of the Bank of San Fernando were done at 380, and those of Isabel at 196. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. They confirm the intelligence of the death of the POPE, which we announced yesterday. " Yesterday, at six o'clock," says the Journal des Debats, " 11. CAUCHY, Principal Registrar of the Chamber of Peers, repaired to the prison of the Lux embourg, and read to LECOMTE his sentence of con demnation. LECOMTE listened with the most perfect tranquillity, and at the conclusion said, 'lt is very well; I ask but for one thing more—it is to see M. L'Abbe GRIVEL: M. D VERGIER, and M.

When the chaplain retired, it became the duty of the officers of the prison, according to the regulations, to confine LECOMTE in a straight waist coat. He willingly submitted to the regulation. He never broke silence, except to express his desire to be revisited by the chaplain. This morning LECOMTE was again visited by M. L'Abbe GRIVEL and M. DUVERGIER. In the afternoon he addressed a petition to the KING for pardon, in which he expresses the greatest contrition for his crime. The number of Peers who voted was 232. It is said that 196 voted for his condemnation to the punishment of a parricide, 33 for death merely, and three for perpetual imprison ment." The Ministers were to deliberate on his case on Sunday. " The general opinion is," says the Presse, " that the punishment will be commuted to banish ment for life." Lord COWLEY, the English Ambassador, left Paris for London on Sunday. According to the Constitutionnel, 800 marines are about to be sent to Otaheite and the Marquesas to recruit the garrisons of those establishments. The regiment of artillery, several detachments of which are now La Oceania, will also furnish a new contin gent. The troops forming the garrisons of those islands have been absent three years from France. The Lord Provost of Glasgow had the honour of dining with his Majesty the KING of the FRENCH on Thursday at Neuilly. His Lordship personally pre sented to the KING the Address voted to his MAJESTY by the Town Council of Glasgow. The heat in Paris is intense. The thermometer on Sunday stood at 86 in the shade.

A telegraphic communication has just been received at the Admiralty from Gesport, announcing the arrival of the Rus sian ship of war, the Fugermannland, having on board his Imperial Highness the Archduke Constantine of Russia. At the moment the information was dispatched, the Fugermannland was beating towards, and would soon come to an anchor at Spithead. A communication to the above effect was instantly for warded to his Excellency Baron Brunnow, at the Russian Legation. His Excellency left town for Gosport immediately to at tend upon the Grand Duke. We trust that the present, interesting condition of her Majesty, which may probably occasion a few days' delay in the reception of the illustrious. traveller, will not have the effect of preventing hiS Imperial Highness from honouring the metropolis with a visit, especiaily at the present moment, when the Prince ofEgypt is the 21.c k noured guest of the country. ARRIVAL OF IBRA HIM PACHA. Oa Monday, before noon, Ibrahim Pacha, and the distin guished personages in his retinue, arLived in London from Portsmouth. - The arrival of was somewhat later, than was originally contemplated ; fo'?' if, iwas settled on Sunday that the Pacha and suite would leave punctually at eight o'clock ; een circumstances, his departure from the not take place until after nine o'clock. t the Vauxhall terminus had every preparation mat reception of the Pacha and suite. The platform was co with crimson baize, and that por tion of the way kept clear f ro m i n t rus i on from the select assemblage of spectators who had congregated from anxiety to gal* a glimpse of the Egyptian hero. The train arrived precisely at half-past eleven, having completed the distance from Gosport in two hours and ten minutes. In the same carriage with his Highness were Soliman Pacha, General Ibrahim Bey, and Captain Mus tapha Effendi, aides-de-camp to his llighnees ; and Major C. Dickson. In addition to the above, Col..nel Boufort, M. Cabaret Effendi, and M. Noubert, the two latter secretary and interpreter to his Highness ; Mr. E. Zohrab, the Turkish consul-general; Mr. Briggs, &c. The Earl of Morley, deputy chairman of the company, Colonel Henderson, Mr. Townsend, Mr. Hibbert, and Mr. Smith, directors of the Company, were in waiting at the ter minus to receive his Highness, who almost immediately he left the train entered his carriage. The Paths and Soliman Pacha, M. Cabaret , Effendi, and Major Dickson then departed in an open carriage for Mivart's Hotel. two other carriages conveying the remainder of his Highness's suite to their destination. In anticipation of the Pacha's early arrival, a large crowd had collected in front of Mivart's Hotel, in Lower Brook street, but from the exertions of the police, not the least ob struction occurred. Shortly after the Pacha and attendants had arrived, they partook of a sumptuous dejeuner, after which his Highness retired to enjoy a brief repose, agreeable to the custom of his country. The Earl of Aberdeen, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, came about half-past two o'clock, and was conducted to the presence of the Pacha, with whom the Noble Earl had a lengthened interview. Colonel Campbell, formerly British Consul resident at Alexandria, was honoured with an audience. Edib Effendi, the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires, was subse quently closeted with his Highness for nearly two hours. His Excellency Sidi Ahmed, the Envoy Extraordinary from his Highness the Pacha of Tunis, and the members of his suite, were introduced to his Highness. InThese were the only visitors received by the Pacha on Monday, the introductions being in the state drawing-room of the hotel. bac k k ep a t b a o t ut th h e al h f o -p te as t t fo The ur, Hon.

The real name e at tmorn go'ry XVI. was Mauro Capellari... He was born at Bel o Gre on the 18th of September, 1 r 6a. As a monk of the order iu of Catnaldolesian Benedictines he made himself celebrated in his order by his ecclesiastical knowledge, and by his profoundi acquaintance with the ancient and modern languages of the East. His reputation for piety and learning soon spread beyond the bounds of his cloister, and the general esteem entertained for his character assured to the modest monk, long before he became a member of the sacred college, a degree of consideration equal to that of the princes of the church. Ilia nomination 00 0 cardinal by THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNT 10, 146 Leo XII., in March, 1825, was considered as reparation or au act of forgetfulness of the prious Pope. He was soon placed by Leo. XII. at the hea of that vast and important establishment the Propaganda,'or which his Asiatic erudition peculiarly suited him. Thealents which he showed in the course of his administration lily confirmed his previously high reputation. In the couave of 1828 Mauro Capellari was one of the cardinals mos favoured by public opini.,n, and most violently opposed - inthe conclave by the party called the Au-trian party. In ti conclave of 1831 Cardinal Pacca, who was proposed andsupportecl by that party of which Cardinal Albuni was the iead, had at the scrutiny before the last, 19 votes, while CatinalCapellari had 26. But at the final scrutiny 6 or 7 vote escaped from the influence of Cardinal Albani, and Carding Capellari ob tained the majority. The sacred college is (unposed of 57 members. He was elected Pope on the 2(1 of L;bruary, 1831, and took his seat on the pontifical chair b the name of Gregory XVI.

Sales, 6,000 bales, including 4d Pernambuco and Maranham, at 6 3 / 4 d. to 7d,; 200 Egyitian at 6%d. to 71/ 2 d. ; and 400 Surat at 3%d. ; and the rst American at 3Y B d. to 5 1 (1. per lb. Shares were quiet. Very interesting news has again come to hand from the Cape of Good Hope, the latest date being April 15. Prepa rations against the Kafirs were making in all directions, and the greatest ardour continued to prevail among the inhabit ants and the troops. It was expected that thstilities would commence at Fort Beaufort. The Slambie aid Congo tribes were quiet, and their chiefs were in daiiy communication with the English Government agents. Eno's tribe, and even some of the Gaikas, are sail also to be inclined to peace, and even Sandilla was alarmed and dis posed to be conciliatory, although generally - , the Kafirs were preparing for the worst; and the Europeans living in their territory had experienced much difficulty in making their escape. Mr. Stretch, the Government agent in Kafirland, nobly continued, although alone, at his usual post, seeking by all the arts of diplomacy to bring the Kafirs to a sense of the risk they incurred by provoking our resentment, for many of the chiefs had formed but a contemptible opinion of our power and resources, having so long been permitted to plunder the far mers. Upon our conquering the refractory tribes, they are expected to be placed under British protection. The Recorder bounty emigrant ship had arrived in Table Bay, all well on board. The American advices, of which ample details are given in another column, have naturally led to a good deal of conversation here, and it is remarked that if the skirmishing system only is to be persevered in, the war with Mexico may be more protracted than was at first anticipated, especially as the Texians are accused of rendering less assistance than their interest in the cause of dispute migiit have justified the Amercans,iji?ueilErVin tueu Lu As e innert lae n li'efiVeen"3oo,ooo and 400,000 boles less than last. The Brazil mail, arrived at last, gives nothing important from Rio de Janiero, and nothing decisive from La Plata. The Funds have been very flat again to-day, and there is an indisposition to enter upon fresh transactions. Consols for the Opening have dropped .4 to 1 % per cent., as, al though sales are not pressed, few will buy in the present un certain state of the Ministry. The premium on Exchequer bills has been I6s. to 21s. Bank Stock has been firmer at 206 1 / 2 . The New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. have been 97 to 974. There is a flat market also for the Foreign Investments. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 24 1 / s , and the Three per Cents. 37 1 , to 36%. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs has intimated to the South American and Mexican Association, in answer to their memorial, that the British Government has a watchful eye over the rc oceedings in Mexico, and that the interests of England will be duly cared for, while no exertion will be spared to bring about an amicable arrange ment between the belligerents.

The third dinner of the Fox Club, this year, took place at Brookes's on Saturday. About thirty political admirers of the late Right Honourable Charles James Fox dined together on the occasion, amongst whom were the Right Honourable Sir Robert Adair, the Right Honourable Edward Ellice, the Earl of Charlemont, the Earl of Zetland, the Earl of Leitrim, the Earl of Oosford, Lord Dinorben, Lord Acheson, Lord J.

ESCAPE FROM FIRE. —On Monday morning, about one o'clock, a fire occurred at the residence of the Rev. Joshua Parker, No. 21, Bedford-place, Carnpden .hill, Kensington. Mrs. Parker was confined between eleven and twelve o'clock on Sunday night ; her bedroom was the front room on the second floor, and about one o'clock the Rev. Mr. Parker paid her a visit. In doing so, the candle the Rev. Gentleman canted in his hand is supposed to have come in contact with the curtains of the beet, which were immediately in a blaze. Mr. J. Merriman, Mrs. Parker's medical attendant, not opposite having yet left th e house, on hearing Mr. Parker's cries for assist ance, ran i n t o the room and caught up Mrs. Parker out of the bed and carried he r i n his arms out of the house to the the street, wh ere she was most kindly received, and still remains. The fire waB soon sub dued. Our rtewas informed that both that lady and her infant repo r " 414 M well A 4 Co uld 0 under the etrcluultancei, side of HAMBUItGH and FLANDERS MAIL. WARSAW, MAY 21.—Great numbers of the inhabit ants daily flock to the delightful Lazienski palace, to see the Emperor. His Majesty is very well. By his order, the police - are kept as distant as possible, and we have seen his Majesty walk through the streets saluting the public, who crowded the streets. He had no attendants whatever, not even a singe- aide-de-camp. He wore an ordinary military great coat, with a general's epau lettes, and a helmet on his brad. The Empress and the Princess Olga are expected in a few days. The Duke of Oldenburg and family left on Friday to proceed on their return to St. Petersburgh. POLISH FRONTIERS, MAY 2 6.—However great the distress in the country in general is, the ac counts from Poland exceed everything. Entire villages are abandoned, their former inhabitant., with their NI ives and children, wandering in swarms of beggars, about the c.aintry to the town ; hut here they found little to relieve their hunger, for the calamity is general in the towns as well as in the coun try. It is difficult to imagine where the distress of these poor people will cease, because many of the fields lie waste, for want of seed, corn, and potatoes. Besides the scarcity and the constantly increasing price of pro visions in the kingdom of Poland, all trade is in a state of stagnation. The numberless arrests, sometimes of whole families, especially amen; the noble landholders, the difficulties which the rigorous measures of the police throw in the way of travelling, not only to foreign countries, but even in the interior, the decline of credit, altogether has such an effect on trade as has scarcely been known since the revolution in 1820. The nobles live in the strictest seclusion on their estates, and ay. id visits to friends and even relation.; they do not even ven ture to relieve the distress of their vassals for fear of beirg suspected of seeking to make themselves popular. It is difficult to describe the despondency and uneasiness of Vie noble families. When they separate in the evening, it is like parting for ever, for they know not whether all the members of the family will meet in the morning, since the arrests continue, and the slightest imprudence in word or deed may cause them to be denounced, and led to banishment or a long imprisonment. PosEN, MAY 28.—The arrests continue. Our Polish Catholic Gymnasium, which was lately "purified," and has but lately been re-established, was yesterday de prived of five of its pupils, who were arrested. It is hoped that the young men are not seriously implicated, and that they will be set at liberty. Extraordinary sen sation is caused by the following notice. " M. Karzowski, merchant, of this town, propogator of the malicious report, that the commander of the Ist battalion at Lund, her had invited the men to act like at, peasants in Galicia, towards the political conspirators th,... nrtwirtroc (flit io murder), is under legal prosecution, of which public no tice is hereby given. Lieut.-General VON STEINACTER. "Posen, May 26, 1846." BERLIN, MAY 31.—The Empress of Ru , sia having had an interview with her two brothers, the Prince of Prussia and Prince Albert, and her sister, Princess Frederick of the Netherland , , left Prague on Friday, apparently in good health and spirits, and proceeded on her journey, by way of Cracow. The Prince of Prussia accompanies her Majesty to Warsaw. ST. PETERSBURG'''. MAY 26.—Acc ,, unt4 have been received from the C4ucasus, of an incursion made by Schamyl with 15,000 or 20,000 men, into Kabardei, and or his prettipitate retreat. The enemy suffered con,ider able 105.4; that of the liussians is stated at only 200 men. —Hanzburgh Papers, June 5. BRUSSELS, JUNE 6.—The Senate, which met to day, ap pointed two Committii-s to examine some projects of law re specting the budget of the Department of the interior, the cacal of Deynzed, and the importation of corn. It then closed the genet- .1 debate on the project of law, modifying articles 331 to 350 of the penal code; and fixed the discussion of the articles for to morrow in a secret Committee. The Chamber of Representatives di , cussed and agreed to the pro ject of law for a supplementary vote of credit for 80,000 f. for the service of the mint, and a credit of 39,518 f. for the budget of foreign affairs for 1845. The Minister for Foreign Affairs announced that he should pr present to-morrow, the fiat of the report of M. Blondell, on the Colony of St. Thomas. The presentation of the amendments of the law of 1834, education (l'en.keynement nznyen), has produced two different effects in the minds of the milnbers of the Chamber —sur prise in some, embarrassment in others. For our part, we the ((,'currier Beige), cannot but be satisfied with them. BRUSSELS, JUNE s.—The Minister of Public Works pre sented at the opening of the sitting to-day a project of law for granting; 40,000 francs for the fetes on opening the Belgium and French Railways. The Chamber then pro ceeded to the debate on the project of law, relative to the railroad from Luxemburgh. The Senate had but a short public sitting. The Marquis of Rhodes brought up the report on the project of law, pro longing the law of 24th of September, relative to the impor tation of provisions. The Senate then formed a Secret Committee, to discuss the modification of articles 331-335 of the penal code. After a short debate the sitting was again public. and the project of law was agreed to unanimously by the 3L Members present It then opened and closed the discussion on the projects of law, definitively regulating the budget of the years 1833. 1834, to 1835.

DUTCH MALL THE HAGUE, JUNE 3.—Tae last overland mail brings acc.mnts from Java to the Ist of April. In the district of Koeningen, in the Residence of Cheubon, an extensive bed of coal has been discovered, which is stated to be of the best quality. It was intended to make a trial of it in her Maiesty's steam. boats. Inundations occurred by breakers in the dykes on the banks of the river Kediri, had done great injury to the river plantations in the Residence of Sorabaye On the 23d February a dreadful huricane occurred, which destroyed miny dwellings of the natives, besides a number of fruit trees in the dis tricts of Peckalingur. In the night of the 14th of Fobruary, three native trading vessels were attacked between Bangresangs and Fyottek, by a well•manned and well-armed piratical vessel ; one of the three vessels escaped by flight, the two others, after an engagement, in which they lust fifteen men, were abandoned by the re mainder. The newly-appointed Governor of Borneo is to go as soon as possible to that island, principally to regulate the working of the coal mines, which is already begun in the district of Banjee. Some of the inhabitants of the island of Billiton were condemned to death, and other severe punishments, for plundering a Chinese vessel, wrecked near that island in Feb., 1844, and murdering the crew Some Chinese had effected a landing in the district of Moekakoeneny, and after they had plundered and burnt some habitations, returned to Singapore. Twenty Chinese of that district, suspected of being concerned in these excesses, had also fled to Singapore. An applica tion of the resident of Riouw to the British authorities at Singapore, to deliver up the guilty, was fruitless. LIENWARDEN, JUNE I.—We are sorry to state that the potatoes in this district appear to be infested with the same disease as last year. TEE HAGUE, JUNE 6.—His Majesty the King arrived at Warsaw, in good health, on the 29th of last month. We learn from good authority, that the King has authorised Messrs. flaages and Der Kinderen to ; con cert measures for executing (by a direct grant) railroad from Harlemgen, in the province of rienland, t.) Lienwarden, and thence to Gronou n g er, forming a communication with the German lines. CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.-- The directors of this excellent charity are enabled, by the successful result of the an niversar y festival, in March last, which was presided over by the most Noble the Marquis of Bred. i lbane, to resolve upon a further increase of the monthly payments to the pensioners, and hopes are entertained that in the course of the next year the payments will reach the max i mu m amount of 11. 1 Is. to the males, and 11.25. to the females per month. An election will also be held hi October next, for two .males and two female pensiGners The Groc ers ' Company have presented the munificent donation of 501. t o this excellent institution ; and the Drapers' Company fifty guineas. • THE BRAZILS. FALMOUTH, JUNE B.—The Penguin packet, Lieutenant l Leslie commander, arrived last night with the Brazil mails, having sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 16th of April. She ! brings about 20,000/. on freight in gold and diamonds. The Swift packet arrived at Rio on the 24th of March from Falmouth. Ilpr MajeAty's ship Crescent, Lieutenant Hemsworth, was at Rev. Her 114,sstv's schooner Spider sailed from Rio for the River on the 13th of March. The itevira (hired schooner) arrived at Rio on the 10th of April, with mails from Monte Video. When the Penguin left Rio the exchange was at 26 1 4, and stock steady at 75 , /a ; but only a comparatively small amount had been done for the packet. The market was devoid of in terest. Coffee only beginning to arrive; the demand slack, and prices rather declining. Freight very scarce, and the rate 30s. to 355, to the usual ports of Europe The Emperor and Empress were expected to have embarked on the 15th of April at Santos, and to arrive at the city on the 18th fol lowing. It was anticipated that the Minister of Finance would be abl • to exhibit a surplus cevenue over the expendi ture of the rear—a desirable event if it should prove so. Her Majesty's brig Philomel, Captain B. Sulivan, arrived this morning with dispatches from Monte Video, whence she sailed on the 20th of April, bringing lair. Turner, the British Chargé d'Affaires, and the Chevalier M. Marcel, Secretary to the French Mission in the River Plate. By this arrival we learn that the present state of matters in that quarter demand the retention of the British troops at Monte Video, and the merchants have memorialised the Government to allow the 45th and 73d regiments to remain, and on the Philomel's departure they were doing duty on the inner lines, the outpost duty being performed by the Monte Vi deans. Rivera had arrived at the moment in a Spanish brig from Monte Video, and was immediately proclaimed general by the troops (French Balques, &c.), who he deceived in a few days after. Some disturbances hereupon took place, in which the captain of the port, and several o th ers were shot ; and General Pacheco, the late Governor, had been obliged to take refuge on board the French Admiral's ship Africaine. 200 British seamen, with Lieutenants Hardy and Hancock, Gunnery-Lieutenants of her Majesty's ships Eagle and Ver non, were doing duty at the batteries. The Philomel left Parent on the 2d of April, and on coming down the river was exposed to a fire from the batteries of the Buenos- Ayreans. Her Majesty's ships Gorgon, Dolphin, Firebrand, and Fanny were at Parara, waiting the convoy; her Majes ty's ship (;emus, and French sloop of war Expeditive, were at Obligada ; the English and French squadrons were wait ing at Rjada ; her Majesty's steamers Lizard and Alecto were goieg up the Parara with dispatches. Her Majesty's ships 'Vernon, Eagle, and Resistance troop ship, and French ships Africaine, Erigine, and two brigs of war, just arrived from the coast of Africa, were at Monte Video. Her Majesty's ships Melampus and Racer were at Buenos Ayres, anti her Majesty's ship Satellite at Coleria. General Urquiza was at Entre Rios and it was supposed that Paz would ova. waren uutrr aunnlier ; O.J pit:paring (..),,,,tlo,ono men). Oribe was still before Monte Video, and fortifying the Cerito. Roses had built two bat teries—San Lorenz, and Tohetaro, and was bringing two 84- pounders from Buenos Ayres for the lower one. General Paz was organising the Paraguavians, who had joined his army, and was at Corrientes, where he would await the Argentine Legion. About seventy sail of merchant vessels were at the capitals of Corrientes and Assumption, all 01 whom were to come down the river on the Bth of May, and rendezvous at Rjada. ADELPHI THEATRE. A romantic drama, in six tableaux, entitled The Queen of the Abruzzi was produced hare on Monday, with complete success. It is flunided on the popular ballet of Let Catarina, and is written by Mr. Stirling Coyne, who has in some mea sure altered the 'original so as to suit the Adelphi company. In this he has succeeded a merveille. He has so ma naged as to include in his caste Madame Celeste (who acts the her ine most effectively) ; Mr 0. Smith, who takes Parrot's part of the Lieutenant); Paul Bedford, Boyce, and Mr. Redmond Ryan, and Miss Ellen Chaplin, who enact the parts of an Irish boy travel ling in Italy and his jealous Italian wife, and he has fitted each of ins artists to a nicety. Of this most effective inte resting drama, it may be said, that unlike the generality of imitations, it is superior to the original. The dialogue is carefully, and in many places, elegantly written. The description given of his house, for instance, by Salvator Rosa in the first act, is genuine poetry. The Irishman, too, which was excellently acted by Ryan, is really a broth of a boy—not the nicre stage Irishman, but, a witty, rollicking, high-spirited fellow--one of whom the Green Island need not be ashamed. The scenery was ex ceedingly beautiful (we could almost fancy we were looking at some of the chefs d'ceuvre of Eastlake). The dances were g iventr with spirit. and the mus i c , se l ecte d an d arrange d b y r. Mellon, was pretty and appropriate. The piece "went" admirauly, and at the conclusion Madame Celeste was called for, and, on being led forward by Mr. Boyce, was received with enthusiastic applause by a house crowded to excess. The Queen of the Abruzzi will have a long reign. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS. Notwithstanding the attraction of operas and concerts, the Ethiopian Serenaders not only hold their ground, hut are mote popular than ever. Night after night is the St. James's theatre crowded by fashionables, who seem thoroughly to enjoy the performances of these transatlantic melodists. This is an additional proof of the progress which musical science has made of late years in England. Albeit melody is the prevaiiing characteristic of the performances of th e Etiiiepian Serenaders, yet melody is not the sole characteristic. The melodi, s which they give us are beautifully harmonised. There is no attempt "to gild refined gold "—the melody is not lost in the harmonious combinations—not smothered, like the Roman maiden, beneath the weight of the shields—but elaborated and supported by the harmony, which, like the string of a necklace, runs through and combines the pearls of melody into one beautiful and perfect whole. The performance of the Ethiopian Serenade rs are not only delightful to the dilettanti, they 'ALI', 11, t h e „.„„_;-:.„ novel combinations and the use of instruments (the bones to wit) which may be of infinite service to him in composing orcl - estral nerompaniernents, but which have be , n hitherto unknown to or ni glected by thi.. academies and the schools. The dramatic composers more especially, by studying the per'ormances of the Ethiopian Serenaders, may learn how to maintain the pathetic with the comic in music. " There is," said Napoleon, " but one step from the sublime to the ridiculous." The Ethiopian serenaders demonstrate the converse of the proposition, and by their exquisite performance of that most beautiful combination of hursour and pathos, the melody " Miss Lucy Neal " prove that there is but one step from the humorous to the pathetic, and that smiles and tears are nearer akin than the generality of mankind imagine. We are not, therefore, surprised at the crowded houses which these delightful melodists draw every night, and, as lovers of musie, we feel we are under great obligations to Mr. Mitchell for having introduced the Ethiopian serenaders to the English musical public. WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTER- TAINMENTS. On Monday Mr. Wilson gave an entertainment, of which the first part Was fortned from the songs and writings of the fArncus Scotch poet, Allan Ramsay. There was .a due ad mixture of sentiment and humour, and the melodies, whi c h are all old, rivalled each other in beauty. We can scarcely conceive anything more exqui- , ite than Wilson's delivery of the old air, " An thou wert mine ain thing;" the melody is one of the most elegant and be , utiful of all the old airs, and Wilson does it full justice. He also sang Dr. Arne's fine melody, which he composed to Ramsay's song or " The High land Lassie " It was needless to enumerate songs where all were so good, but 'we cannot help mentioning the marked delight which " The last time I cant ower the Muir" seemed to give. The quaint, old song of " The Carle_he cam ower the craft" called forth a be.rrty and unanimous encore. At the commencement Mr. Wilsun gave a short, but interesting sketch of Allan Ramsay and his Times, and at the end of the first part he recited, with g eat effect, the first scene of Ramsay's famous comedy of the Gentle &Vier 1. The scene consists of a conversation between the two shepherds, Paris and Roger, and is full of poetic beauty. Mr. Wilson is very effective in his readings, and on this occasion was as successful as ever he was. He has a happy knack of inakin..,.• an English audience compre hend the meaning of the Scotch phrases; he gave every point with effect, and made the two shepherds, the blythe some I'atie and the sorrowful Roger, stand out in bold relief. This part of his performance was hailed with genuine and hearty applause. The second part of the Programme was made up of old favourite songs, which Mr. Wilson has ren dered popular. He introduced, by request, theve r y h umorous song of " The Married Man's Lament," which brought the risible faculties of the audience into full play. It is strong proof of the power of Mr. Wilson that his entertain. ments continue to be as attractive as ever they were, he still remains in statu gum We beg to suggest that he may soon give another scene from the Gentle Shepherd—the scene that follows the one he gave, fur instance, between Peggy and Jenny. His readings afford a delightful variety in his per formances. RAMSGATE, JUNE B.—Among the pass.ngers from Ostend this day, by the South-Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Company's vessel Princess Maud, were the Hon.\Ralph AbercrombY, her Majesty's Minister at the Court'of Turin, al , o Captain M'Naughten and 31r. Cohen, with dLipatclu s from the Sutlej. Notwithstanding the boasting of the Dover press that the p •ckets on that station can make the voya,:e from Ostend in 3 hours 54 min,(?), travellers seem to prefer coming to Ramsgate, where they can make sure of landing on terra firma, to going six miles further on, and ending their voyage with an excursion in an open boat, for which they sometimes have the privilege of paying very dearly. A comparative statement of the traffic between Dover and Ostend, and Ramsgate and Ostend, during the last week, shows a decided surplus in favour of the latter port; especially when it is taken into consideration that the trade has oily been opened within the last two months, the number being from and to Dover, passengers 196, carriages 0, horses 0 ; and from and to itamsgate, passengers 379, carriages 11, horses 6. It is ex pected that her Majesty the Queen Dowager will embark Irom here on Tuesday next, at noon, the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle having been ordered round for her use ; and that his Majesty King Leopold will land here about the latter part of the month. The Princess Cle mentine, a new boat belonging to the south-Eastern Company, is looked for here daily, and there will be time (should the owners feel inclined) to tee` the merits of the mall boats on the Dover statl i o i a i,; which clam for themselves the title of being the fastest seagoing from ° the vessels afloat, because one of them, the Garland, engineers' hands, managed to cross the bows of which vessel has Belgians on her passage from Ostend last week, w years: and it is been running without intermi3sion for nearly two their orders are ' i crew to state that only justice to her cap!am and hour, nor to thirteen miles an " never to exceed an average rate of thhefr"uheen of the • put themselves out of their course to race with i e t e h e a t n ri o n t g h e e n r t, bo th at e w o h a i r l lwo eon their passage." Had hot their orders been wrol - 1 not have come off with su - di flying colours. ToNS VISIT Ti) MR.

ROYAL riCSPITAL, CLIF.LSEA.—On Saturday, a meet ing of the committee and subscribers to the Building Fund of the new Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest, now in the course of erection at Brompton, took place at Chelsea for the transaction of business relative to the forth coming bazaar, held by permission of Sir Edward Paget in the gardens of the Royal Hospital. It was stated that the efforts made were on the most extensive and magnificent scale, and a hope was expressed that all who were favouring the institution with work, &c., for the various stalls, would forward them as speedily as might be found convenient. Thanks having been readily accorded to the worthy chair man, the meeting separated. We read in the Droi , l:—" It is said that the sentence of death passed on Lecomte met with only a few dissenting voices, amongst which was Viscount Victor Hugo. The latter, it is added, addressed the court in a brilliant speech, and pleaded for imprisonment for life. Lecomte, it seems, was, previously to the trial, anxious only about one point— his dress. His coat appeared to him by no means worthy of the occasion. Can I appear in court thus dressed ?' said he. Let them kilt me, bat let them Mt htilDiliAtEt me,' Paris .Paper.
