The French Govern thet it will be remembered, have lately increased su . . bventton of the Opera at Paris, of which Mr. Lum ley i s also manager, and it is said that they have it further in contemplation to indemnify him for the heavy loss which he has sustained from the ruinous influence of the great political events of the last two years in Paris.

Lumley 's energies will in future be confined, and since we depend so much on Paris as a channel and test for our importation of m a y art, it will he acme consolation to us that we may still benefit in some degree by his judgment and enter- Prise. FIRE CAUSED BY THE RAYS OF THE SUN.—Tile weather yesterday was intensely hot. The thermometer in the shade towards the middle of the day stood as high as blood heat. About half-past twelve o'clock the rays of the min became concentrated upon a small timber building be longing to Mr. W. Jones, of 77, Albany-road, Camberwell, a nd 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 office were dispatched to the spot, but the fire could not be e xtinguished until the building was nearly burned down. Mr. Jones was insured in the Aliance Fire-office.

No. CCLVIII. NEWMARKET AND WORCESTER RACES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Three cut of the four stakes en the list for deci'ion to-morrow at Newmarket are at present of the skeleton description; the oth , r, the July Stekee, will be contested by a very small field, consisting of the Reiver, Phre Oa or Vest, probably the former, one of General Ansem's, arid. pen - isles Amazon, War-Whoop, and Th e Creole. THE HEIVER, as a matter of course, will win. The match between Lord Exeter's Dove and the Duke of Bedford's Oasis, if not terminating in a forfeit, will be won by the former. The match for one hundred, over the last half mile of the new T.Y.C., between Vivandiere and Flirt, ought to be won by the former, considering that the latter con cedes her a year. year, there M e The WOR CESTE R of stakes, an d t h e c b e :i i , n g g aisplaeonnatiefuwihastorbpeityter than usual this majority well filled. The meeting extends over two days—to-morrow and Wednesday—end will commence with the Severn Stokes, a mile and a quarter spin, which Prime Minister and Truth will fight out. The Two Years Old Stakes will, I believe, result in a walk over for Sextus or Chilton. The Tradesmen's Handicap, a mile and a quarter run, will, not unlikely, attract three-fourths of the nomina-• tions to the post, SLEEPING PARTNER and MAY clearing the winning chair that and second. The Worcestershire Stakes, unlike the Handicap at Newmarket, has obtained a strong acceptance, number eng twenty-five, ten or eleven of which, it is said, will be sure to start. As a good deal of betting has taken place upon this stake, I will enter into a few particulars concerting it. Nancy figures at the head of the acceptances, but she will not start. Alonzo and Prime Minister come next; us fore a both will b e t h er e , I am not ena bl e d to say w hi c h w ill start, but e i t h er i s very dangerous, t h e course b e i ng b ut well in at ?st.ile and a h a l f i n length.

M`Lean, of the Haymarket. Painted by Sir Willi am Charles Ross, R.A., it has been engraved in one of the highest styles of art by M. F. Juubert. Last season the original miniature was exhibited in the Royal Academy. During the time of its production the artist had 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 paint e d o f t h e illustrious personage represented. The p ortra i t i s at full length. The Prince is standing. His costume is the uniform of a general in the French army ; and the va rious accessories introduced in the pie , use are cleverly arranged and ingeniously pourtrayed. Under any cir cumstances a life-iike representation of Louis Napoleon —.or, as heis now officially designated, Son Altesee Imperiale Monseigneur le Prince President de la Republique Franca - Ise—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 sou of King Louis by Queen Hortense, and as the grandson of the Empress Josephine—he must have commanded some degree of attention had 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- . . tinned for six years a state prisoner in the fortress of Ham—secure to him a place in history, while they extort, in some manner at least, the sympathies of his contemporaries. Thrice elected by his which has ell fellow-coun e trymen—firs ly, when c alled from banibbment to the National Assembly by six different consti tuencies, secondly, when nominated Presiden t 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 -or vo tes (votes ren dered doubly important by being the fru it s of the ballot and of universal suffrage)—his authority has been legitimately derived from the popula t ion. The responsibility of his august position be app ears, more over, to have in a great measure recognised and ap preciated—accepting as the foimdations of his Go vernment (as he himself has recently intimated)— `° t h e peop l e th e source o f a ll pow er, the army th e source of all force, and religion the source of all justice." Whatever may be the opini on en tertained in reference to some of his past acts —it m ust be ad t, e 0 o o i, lo ~, ad mitted that be has secured to France th e ad vantages of a strong and energetic administrati on.

As a statesman and an administrator he 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 and remarkable among the European potentates.

(CONTINUED ON 3IONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 30 h of June, the most interesting; occurrence in the House was a motio❑ of Lord Dudley Stuart on the subject of a Polish refugee, an officer 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 deE'ot. The outpouring of personal violence in the possessors of power, is the leading evil of the day, and one that calls must loudly for the attention of the public. On Thursday the House was prorogued with the u'ual forms. The Speech therefore is the lust act of Ministers, connected with the expiring Parliament. There is something dishonouring to the Crown, in the mention made of 114naoon ; an aff,,ir, by the accounts which the concerned give of their own objects and proceedings, conceived with a view to the pluuder of provinces, end conducted in a nr , nner 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 tim-. As to the piLa of insults and injuries to British sub jects, 'he public bus no more confidence in the fact, than if en old gentleman with his divide nds in his pocket, was found accused by the swell mob of having busied them. The Speech is further made to contain a thinly dis guised admission, of the point much stood upon bath at home and abroad on the subject M 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 Times. 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 wbo 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 w ill not fail to play into the hands of the French journalists (if journalists may be said to exist i n 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 i n come-tax,' fear it was not made sufficiently clear, that the assumption th roughout was that the Income =isto be perpetual. The very promo•ers of what was put before the worki ng c l asses as i n j ustice, 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 be 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 misapprehensions of the foregone. At this time when the people have a sort of holi day of power, there may be 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 bt•en demonstrably shorter than before, and even the last, though longer than its predecessors, has been little more than two-thirds of the extreme i term as- Signed. 2herefore what use can there b e n asking to shorten the Duration of Parliame n ts? 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 &ink or swim, as the concerned may conduct the business. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. Blackheath, sth July, 1852. COURT CJRCULAR.

The admirable manner in which he has conducted the ballet department there during the present season, as well as his peculiar merits as a dancer, cannot fail to be properly appreciated by those who have derived so much entertainment from bis exertions, and we consequently trust there will be an overflow on the occasion. The bill of fare is of a most attractive character. Tom Matthews, the Grimaldi of the day; Madlle. Palser, the Taglioni of Drury lane ; Miss E. Terrey, and several artists of celebrity, con tribute their valuable aid. The entertainments are to con sist of the grand spectacle of Cherry and l Fair Star, a farce, a powerful melodrama. a sketch from the renowned panto mimes of Jack . the Giant Killer and Mother Goose, end.va rious dances by a most efficient troupe. The theatre will be right well worth visiting on Thursday evening. SIR - WILLIAM MOLESWORTII.--Sir William Moles worth supports the same poll ical opinions which find favour in all the electoral divisions of the capital; but, with the single excep, ion of Lord John Russell, he alone of all the Metropolitan .Members can make any pretension to the cha racter of a statesman. His earnest and efficient advocacy of the rights and interests of the c,,lonies, and of the true prin ciples of colonial policy, has given the electors of Southwark. reason to be proud of their choice; and the most intelligent of their number will certainly not respect a candidate the less for his bold and distinct refusal to secure his election by any compliance with vulgar prejudices.

They would risk everyihin ....., any is not a , tingle institution iu the country which would not be imperilled by their success —for the sake of the id most momentary triumph. We are very firmly con vinced that so dire a public misfortune as that Lord- Derby and his clique should not be thoroughly beaten upon the great arg ument, not of the day. but of six pars ago, is s i m ply out of the question. Were this otherwise, the most hypochondriacal politician could scarcely paint the future in sufficiently gloomy colours. Any further discussion uon the merits of the question would be a nsere insult to the understanding of any real man. Men have grown gray whi e for a long coorse of years tbey have insisted upon halt-a. dozen poolts which were fair subjects of thought ten or twelve years age, but now have become indurated into truisms. There is really nothing to be done for it but to whistle " Lillibullero" in the face of any hard-hearted disputant who attempts to inflict the old discussion upon your un willing ears. Free trade is right —as warmth, and wholesome air, and che erfulness and happy faces are right. It is not a thing to be talked about any longer, but to be enjoyed. Taste might have been a difficulty some years ago,when many °f us now of middle age were youths, and others. nos e old men, were of middle age, in throwing off a parcel of fallacies and self deceptions in which we had all been nurtured; but we have talked and argued, l and written upon this and other similar matters, until every man accessible to reason has made up his mind that the sun does not revolve round the earth, and that Free-trade is the fi it iog policy of nations. All a priori arguments have been confirmed by subsequent ex periment. We have seen in the course of the last s i x years abundance and prosperity substituted for narrow and uncertain supplies. w e have seen the size of the loaf increase, and the amount of the poor rate diminish. We have seen that land has maintained its value to the advantage and in the teeth of the very men who sought to defile their own nes t and to decry it as an investment. We have not seen that la nd g o out of cultiva tion , as ha been foretold. We know, on the contrary, by every teat that can be possibly app lied to a sub j ect on which 1 certain result is a ttainable, t hat the agricultural " yield" of England is steadily improving, despite of the outcry of those who live by the land. We see the construction of ships advancing in every s ilo pwright'e yard, and the entries outwards and inwards vastly in creased, although we are told all the while im m i nent o f ' • nent ruin. We know that the trade and country were never in so elastic and prosperous a lice con dition as at present. Whether all this with refer , the great legislative settlement of 1846 is to be con t? si dered a post hoc or a propter hoc we leave it to the constituencies to determine. London, the capital of ho we are empire, as of right, has taken the lead. tlt to judge from tho information we have pet received, the present Liberal Members will be a g ain returned to give a very emphatic "No I" to all is propositions for restoring the old system.

By the courtesy which often redeems the brutalities of war, the botanists and florists of Europe maintained an alluthee where 411 others were foes; but though they shared one another's knowledge, they count do little in the way of exchange of plants. In the midst of tho storms of the French revolutionary war, a solitary dahlia was che rished in the greenhouse of a Marchioness; and Lady Hovland brought more from Spain in the beginning of ;he century ; but the acquisitio n was an aristocratic marvel. Th China rose was another such marvel ; and it was not till the Sunshine of peace spread through the land, that it lock firm root in the eottager'a garden and began to peep into his lattice. It is very efferent now. At hundreds of fl ewer-shows cotta gets exhibit thousand.) 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 least, it is pretty certain tbat her expensive luxury was less brilliant than the children of many an English vii cage could now exhibit. If peace carries her horn of plenty, she bean 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 most scarce, there were thousands of the poor, who, hoping nothing else, hoped for the blooming of their flowers. The Spitalfields weaver fed his tulips, while he himself was hungering. Many who had nettling else had a geranium, in a bottle, in the window. We remember seeieg, in those dismal days, a starve ling child poking with rusty scissors between the flints in a peved.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. (levier shows through the length and breadth of the lan,a. 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 uoquestiouable a shape. It may be always true, that the rich and the wise are eventually the servants of the poor and the ig norant; but we do not often see this great truth so clearly illustrated. The Arabs in Spain, Louis XIV. in Franc . ' , the nobles of Italy, the monks of Germany, u Bacon and Evelyn, our dukes and peeresses, weccert_hoas_e_ des[ of their tune t f who sowed our cottage gardens with the fljWer s cb of a ll t 1 ( 1 ) climes, and grafted truits for our p gather. They loitered away a good in cultivating echoes instead of cacherde, and laying out shellwork instead of flower beds, sod contriving bowers of water instead of blossoms; but they did good _ permanent work too, as our flower and fruit n ere festivals now show. The work will ht ) ..t ' t oe b . Our generation will be the servants of a future one, as the past has been of ours. The present country is working for the future town. If science has prepared the way for production, present productio n w ill preface the wa y for future science. The mete acceptance of boon s o f t h is virtuous kind is an offering of a new boon to an unborn time. To secure this, however, eee must not make too sure of the benefit. '['here are instances before our eyes which show that barbarism may return upon this mo,t, innocent development of civilisltion. In the country where Cleopatra so regaled hor guests with roses, the wretched women of the Pacha'e harem know no better than to romp atnong the fllwer-beds, in the garden at Rode. and trample down toe choicest plants. In Persia and Turkey, which once heti more flower-wisdom end beauty than all other countries in ,he world, an Europea n gardener can only break his heart, for want of sy nap ,,, th „ I We must keep up the a ) ova , by, now that, it is awakened through all therenk s, if net among 811 the (lessee, of our po p u l a tion. . 13 " there cannot really be any fear of a M cline in a tastie,csy r. fined.

Th ere are many who once let . cloud and sunshine pass over them unobserved, and cared for frost and drought only as they were in want of fire and water—many who grow quick and observant about the atmosphere an , 3 the hours, and lose their listlessness in those innocent soli ci!udes about vegetation which are one of the char ma of rural hie. It is pleasant to thiLlt of the new tie e istab- Jibbed between town and country, when the corintry people strive for the verdict of the town, aced the townspeople owe a new pleasure to their hatabl e neighbours of the lanes and fields.

It is Ple!'s"nt to see the young gateir g knowledge, even ocience, through the channel which oveilliws at the same time with health and pleasure. It is all pleasant —revery aspect of the fact of the growth of horticulture, ailown in the increasing popularity of fbwer-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 &Aland still where there are no popular pursuits or interests at all—still nothing bet - er 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, g.,od or bad—there is no reading-room. One sober outh tries to understand geometry, end another makes a little museum of mineralogy : but there is no common inter( sr, and no timusr.nient out of the public house. A stray lecturer, perhaps comes, makes a sew of them un easy, and goes away where he does not see them drop back into drink, simply from having nothing else to du. Why have these people no gardenia Ah! wh) ? 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.

CH AMBERS. On Friday evening last Mr. Mon;sgu Chambers ad- dressed a large and enthusiastic meeting of electors at the Lecture Hall, Woolwich. The chair was taken by George Cnbh, Esq. Mr. CHAMBERS, on rising to address the meeting, was received with rapturous applause. He observed that a morning paper, which was cal ed a Liberal newspaper, had stated that he was the self-created oendida'e, and ought to retire, as he was causing division in the Liberal ranks.—(Cries of " Shame.") Now, he would ask, was be a self-created candalidate ? —(Cries of " LsTo, no.") Did he not receive a requisition, signed by 1,513 electors, requesting him to come forward?—(Cheers.) He had faith in. these promises, and was dete, mined to stick to the constitu rcy of Greenwich, notwithstanding the moth-at advice retire wbich was given by the journal referred to. Ilia personal csuvass had teen most successful. and if the promises re de were acted up to. of which be bad no doubt, he must be at the head of the poll.—(Loud cheers.) d u p re po h ne is rsts ;rh„apdpemsa;de.suasne iontstsueriscs.el,alabmotan ) moires to Lil i a ej a mouth since a publication imitating a Leivq)aper was brought out, and it wens steed that five thousaud copies were distributed '• gratis." Ott that day No. 2 was pub of which eight ceousand copies were to be distri buted, and alech contained, es he had been informed, the most unfounCed calumet, s a ga i nst hi ts. This was a re election squib, and it would go s ee lik e cannon, and therefore would n 'q ur, Ji b b r . ie !t m wa r s not a heavy Mr. Chambers down —(Cbsers ) Anther MataiLlVie WB3 the issuing of handbills rt fi (sting upon the other candi dates, and which were taid to emanate from his com mittee; but the fact was, his party had nothing to do with the printing of these ofiensive handbills. Another rnanceuvre was the assertion that because be was a Liberal and a R, former 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 ford. Now, be was a Reformer—and a true Reformer —and therefore he had no desire to reduce those great public establishments, but he was anxious to remove the defects which existed, and place them in a state of efficiency, so that it would be unne cessary to have our large vessels built by Private con tractors.—(Loud cheers.) He wished to diminish the feebleness and not the strength of these establishments. He felt satisfied that be could, by determination and with the assistance of others, find out and remedy the detects which existed in these estab:ishmenti—nothing should baths him.—(Loud cheers.) 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 not, it could uot. it should not.—(Cheers.) He had recently heaid some secrets with regard to certain understrappers.— (Cheers.) He told th, m nut to be influenced or cajoled by Jacks•in-t ffic .—(Loud cheers) These thought they recommended themselves to those in power by endeavouring to influence the voters, but they were mis takelt. He had piratical antagonists amongst the &eat and nt.ble of the land, but he could tell them that, the great had noble hearts, and would scorn to interfere with the free exercise of the franchise. (A person here stated that on the previous Saturday the men employed in the storekeepers' department of th e arsenal were placed in ranks, and reque , ted by the storekeeper to vote for Mr. Rolt, the Conservative candidate.) He would again entreat them not to be influenced by any of these transactions; he could adiure them that every man who voted for him would not find himself in a worse position after the election; but he warned these Jacks-in-office, that it they dared to interfere with the free exercise of the franchise, they would find themselves in the wrong la.sx.—(Cheers.) No man bad a right to dictate to a voter as to the way in which he should dispose of his v ote- He was able and determined to protect every undue from un d ue i n fl uence.

Each of the other candidates ap peared to wish to bear him down, and this made him sanguine of success, as it was an, evidence that he was the strong man.—(Cheers.) 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 Alec ors, Mr. Chambers then avowed himself in favour of household suffrage, law reform, the establishment of the representative s} stem in all British colonies, and other popular measures, A resoluion pledging the meeting to support Mr. Chambers was then unanimously passed, and the im mense assembly separated.
