From a Minister who has alseedy Ismented so earnestly and sincerely this topographical deficiency in the capital of an empire as vast and as wealthy as Great Britain, we may, not unreasonably, hope for better things than from a more niggardly and a merely tradesnianlike CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHE QUER. The administrator who has humorously sug gested the execution of an architect from a hope that intimidation might be f o und more effectual in its good results than comp e titi o n perpetrated with im punity, is precisely the man we w ant at this moment to watch over th e i n t eres t s of London and West minster in reference to the progress of our metropoli tan improvements. With a sympathetic feeling in this matter between Mr. DISRAELI and the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, we might at length have some prospect of real decoration to the capital, both in regard to its public edifices and its principal monuments. Previously, moreover, we might have the happy chance of a g i gan ti c an d surely most desirable attempt at removal and exter mination. If the bronze hobgoblin on the top of the triumphal arch be not dragged down from a position so very frightfully conspicuous —at any rate the ginger-beer bottles on the dumbwaiters opposite the National Gallery might yield their site to some less paltry experiment in the construction of a couple of fountains. Th e p i g t a il o f h i s Most G rac i ous Ma jesty Kin g GEORGE 111. might be shortened by about two feet and a half—stirrups might support the feet of the royal groom near St. Martin's Church—a companion figure (if that were possible) might be found for the opposite pedestal—the horn like extremity of the lightning conductor might be humanely extracted from the head of his Royal High ness the Duke of Yoax—another bronze be inserted in the empty socket still blurring, as with a stone blind look, the west side of the NELSON testimo nial, and fcur British lions be at length coaxed up Parliament-street, to become as permanent squatters in the neighbourhood of Charing-cross, as even those distinguished artists known as the Royal Academicians. Eventually even, it might be practicable to embellish the front of the present Na tional Gallery, with a view to transform it into a structure worthy of crowning what is absurdly called " the finest sits in Europe"—a site, by the way, not to be mentioned in the same breath with Calton Hill, or the centre of Sackville-street, or the gorgeous and imperial Place du Carrousel. Latterly much has been effected in the desired direction. The British Museum has been rendered an edifice worthy of its designation. Buckingham Pa lace, although rendered somewhat ridiculous by the heraldic gambols of the lion and the unicorn at the centre gate, has been no less singularly improved in external appearances than in internal arrangements : while the new Houses of Parliament have assumed to themselves, with the florid beauty of their Gothic architecture, a distinction only inferior to the modern basilica of St. Paul's and the venerable cathedral at Westminster. What is next required is unquestionably a National Gal lery not unworthy of its destination. Kensington Palace, if a new structure be not required, would of course be preferable to the bu'ldiug now disgracing the metropolis. Adequate room might then be found, not merely for the collection of the old masters, but for the paintings by native artists munificently be queathed to the nation by Mr. VERNON, and temporarily banging in Marlborough House, and the matchless landscapes and sea pieces .of that incomparable artist, the late Mr. TURNER. Fortunately there is at length some prospect of a building of this kind being pro vided for the pictorial treasures of England, the Right HOD. the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having last evening expressed a hope that the Ministry would be in a position next session to lay before the public a plan such as would prove satisfactory to the popular expectation. The County Courts Extension Bill passed through Committee on Wednesday, and may be considered to have virtually received the Legislative sanction. Two clauses were added to the Bill—one regulating the mode in which warrants of execution against goods and chattels out of the jurisdiction of the Court, in which the judgment had been obtained, should be put in force ; the other, providing that henceforward no county court judge should prac tise at the bar, or as a special pleader, or equity draughtsman, or be directly or indirectly concerned as a conveyancer, notary public, solicitor, attorney, or proctor. This last is a provision of immense im portance, end calculated to be productive of the most beneficial results. In 1846, when the original Act, 9 and 10 Victoria, c. 95, was under consideration, we strenuously urged the propriety of requiring the judges who might be appointed to devote their entire time to the arduous and important duties of the station, and that they should relinquish ell private practice, which might have the effect of disturbing or diverting their attention from the fitting discharge of their judicial functions. That opinion was then over ruled; it wes supposed that the daily attendance at Westminster Hall would have the effect of keeping up the qualifications essential for the office, and also that competent persons might be willing to accept less remuneration, if permitted to retain their private practice, than if compelled to attend solely to their courts. Experience has since shown that we were right in every respect; that the clashing of the public duties and private interests was by no mean condu cive to the interests of the community, and that there was no danger of any diminution of the qualification necessary to the office. Although the judges might not sharpen their wits by daily collisions with pro fessional rivals, or engage in the competition inci dental to a banister's life, high-minded and con scientious men would scarcely abandon their studies or refrain from keeping themselve s au courant with the legal knowledge of the day, merely because their emolument would thence forward be derived entirely from public sources, and could not be increased or diminished in consequence of their competence or incapacity. There is an esprit de corps, a desire to gain the esteem and re spect of the community, that would act as the strongest incentive to the necessary study and pre paration. The regular attendance of a body of effi cient barristers, the assistance of the advocates on In furtherance of the absolut e l y re . .

On the whole, the new small debt code has worked exceedingly wFII, surpa.sing the most sanguine anticipati,ins that had been entert,!ined in reference thereto. But there are rill many defects that may be removed, and the entire system may be materially ameliorated. This is a subject that should not be lost sight of; it is of the most vital importance to the welfare of the nation. It is now perfectly useless to resist the changes that have been introduced with the assent and approbation of an immense majority of the people. Every effort of those who formerly re sisted what they might have considered an undue invasion of professional privileges should now be applied to directing it into the most beneficial chan nels, rendering the new code advantageous to the community, and not sacrificing from a ridiculous etiquette or absurd pride the substantial interests of the junior members of the profession. If all such persons applied themselves earnestly to advancing, in place of retarding, the cause of legal reforms, the entire system would be placed upon a foundation eminently conducive to the welfare and prosperity of the nation. LITERATURE. THE . FORTRESS OF KOMAROM. By Colonel Sigismund Thaly. James Madden. The siege of this celebrated fortress during the Hungarian war of independence, in 1848 and 1849, will be remembered by all who took any interest in that disastrous war. The narrative of Colonel Thaly, who was superintendent of fortifications at Comorn during its siege, must prove interesting, if only from the knowledge that the facts therein set forth are almost certain to be genuine, but throughout the whole narrative the interest of the reader is kept up by either the description of the fortifications or by an account of the gallantry or treachery of individuals. The work concludes with a biography of Moritz Perczel, one of the most celebrated and successful generals of Hungary. The translation of William Rushton, M.A.,*of University College, London, proves him to ba master of the language, and an appreciator of the Colonel's idea. For the benefit of those who are unacquainted with the history of the country, we subjoin a brief description of the fortress, which will explain why the Austrians were so anxious to obtain possession of it, and the Hungarians no leas anxious to retain it : "In the southern angle of the fertile island of Czsl lokoz (Schutt), formed by the branching arms of the mighty Danube, which divides itself into two rivers h9low Posony (Presburg); and at the confluence of those gigantic streams with the waters of the Waag and the Nyitra (Neutra) stands Komarom (Comorn), upon a wide plain which is not commanded by any neighbour ing heights, and as the forress has been built according to the most approved rules of military science it thus combines the greatest advantages both of nature and of art. From its position upon the mein river of the country, on the road leading from the capital of Austria to that of Hungary, having means of communication with each hank of the river, along which runs the high road to Vienne ; following the course of the stream, Koccirom (Comorn) is justly considered the key of Upper Hungary, in like manner as Peterbarad (Peter wardeir.), which looks down from a . towering height upon the waters of the Danube in another part of the country, is called the key of the south." FINE ARTS. INAUGURATION OF THE E.XHIBITION. Painted by H. C. Selats. A remarkable picture commemorative of the most extraordinary of all peaceful events during the pre sent reign, is now on view at No. 4, Trafalgar-square. The artist who hes undertaken the somewhat difficult task of conveying an idea of the appearance of the interior of the Crystal Palace on the May Day of 1851, when the Great Exhibition of the Production of the Industry of all Nations was solemnly inaugu rated by the Sovereign, is Mr. H. C. Selous. A de scription of the work of art now exhibiting would re quire considerable length and no inconsiderable elabo ration. Such, however, were useless to attempt— seeing that the production itself is so accessible, and that the whole of the complicated grouping may be appreciated for its really wonderful merit almost at a glance. Nearly one hundred portraits are comprised in the picture—numbering amongst them, of course besides the Royal Family and attendants, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord John Russell, the Earl of Derby, the Earl Granville, Sir William Cubitt, Sir Charles Fox, Sir Joseph Paxton, Dr. Lyon Playfair, Sir Charles Barry, Sir Charles Eastlake, and Sir Charles Lyell, besides a variety of other persons, together with the different Royal Com missioners. Several of the likenesses are really ad mirable, and the colouring and arrangement of the whole picture singularly meritorious. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. MR. AND MRS. CHARLES KEAN'S BENEFIT. If histrionic pro-eminence and consummate manage rial skill and judgment be deserving of the appreciation of the intelligent public, these accomplished artists as suredly put forward claims of no ordinary strength to a signal homage on the part of the habitues of this theatre on Monday evening next. It were quite super flous to ent - -r into a detailed consideration, or even a simple enumeration of their triumphs in these two capa cities, separately or collectively; triumphs comprising, amongst others, such impersonations as the two master pieces of acting at the present day—Hamlet and Viola, end the two most superbly got up productions on the London stage—King John and the Corsican Brothers. The peculiar amount of patronage which has been be stowed upon the elegant theatre in Oxford-street since the assumption of its management by Mr. and Mrs. Kean is a gratifying proof that their exertions to ad vance the interests of the drarca and refine the public taste have not failed in reaping;their due reward; and the brilliant and overflowing attendance which we feel confident of witnessing on the night of the 14th will alike demonstrat3 the extended esteem and admiration they have so justly won, and prove an incentive to perseverance in a popular career, unsurpassed, if not unequalled, in theatrical annals for brilliancy and sub stantial merit. A singular and striking novelty will be brought out on Monday, entitled The Vampire—" a Phantasm related in three dramas"—in which the au thor, Mr. Bourcicaul', well known to fame for his bril liant comedies, will himself sustain the principal cha racter, Sir Alan Raby. The part of his ill-starred vic tim, Lucy Peverell, being assigned to Miss Carlotta Leclerq, is sure to be invested with that picturesque and unexaggerated grace by which her accomplished de lineations are invariably distinguished. The piece alto gether is very effectively cas". The date of each drama is the 15th day of August in the sixty-first years re spectively of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nine teenth centuries. Thus the daring dramatist takes an eight-year leap into futurity, " And panting time toils after him in vain." ' The scene of the Phantasm is laid throughout on the sides of Snowden.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for export, and 3,500 on speculation. The market was very firm, and prices of all kinds were a turn against the buyers. The sales comprised 9,000 American, 500 Pernam. and Maranham at 5/d. to 71d., 200 Egyptian 64d. to 9id., and 300 Surat at 31d. to 4id. par lb.— Railway Shares were dull at rather lower prices. In the produce markets, although very little was done yesterday (owing to Ascot), there have been large trans actions this week. A good deal of East India sugar has been offered, and this has occasioned a slight decline in prices. In West India, a fair business has been done at full rails generally. Coffee has been very firm, and though not brisk for Native Ceylon, has been active for most other sorts. Saltpetre has bees rather cheaper, and Cochineal has fallen ld. to 2d. per lb. Cotton is still in good demand. Tea has a fe'r sale, and Tallow con tinues at about the former prices. Fish Oils generally tand upwards, but other qualities are dull. Tallow has maintained its price. Upon the state of the Metal trade, Messrs. William Short and Co. report as follows: " We had during last month a large demand for rails, chiefly for America, and the price has advanced to 5? 152. per,,ton in Wales, at which business has been done. Bars have, though in a less degree,: followed rails, and 41. 17s. 6d. is demanded for first-class makes, while none whatever is to be had under 4/ 12e, 6d. In Scotch pig iron there has been considerable business; prices have fluctuated to some extent, bat the market closes at 33. per ton above the price on the sth ult. Foreign iron is without change. Copper has been advanced id. per lb. on manufactured, and 90s. per ton on Cake and Tile, while the discount has been lowered from 3 to 2} per con', The demand continues good at the advanced rater. Tin—English is unaltered; foreign is a shade easier; and we cannot !note Bauca beyond 85s. The stock in London is about 2,000 tons; in Holland, in second hands, about 14,500 slabs, or about 440 tons; and the quantity advertised by the Dutch Trading Company for sale on the 4th of August next is 142,582 slabs (exclu sive of new importations which may bo added, thakninog the ex ceeding 15,000 slabs), or, in all , 4,392 to ns , whole available stock on this and the other aide, until August, 1853, 6,762 tons, against 6,244 tons at this period in 1851, and 5,000 in 1850. _ Tin plates ar e i n good request at quoted prices. I..sted has advanced some ss. per ton, and continues in fair demand, s po p. : „ r— Consequent on account of high prices at Hamburgh, the price here has advanced; business has been done at 151. 10s. per ton, and the market closes at 151.76. 6d. to 151. 108. Stock on Ist inst., 10,440 tons, against 12,380 tons at this period last year." The easy state of the Money Market offers a tempta tion to many foreign companies to come here biddi ng for loans, advances, or share subscriptions ; a n d i n mer cantile circles connected with the United States, it is asserted that some railway undertakings of very doubtful promise vs i ll be brought under notice here. It i s t o b e hoped the public will discriminate, and not rashly place their surplus means in such companies. There are ample facilities for investing money nearer home, and our Canadian possessions will shortly require a consi derable amount for railway purpos es . The market for Public Securities ,has been particu larly firm again, and a further advance in the quotations of I t o per cent. has taken place. The disposition is still to invest, because the transfer books close this even ing, and the accumulation of money goes on. The Bank of England, it is understood, increased last week the specie in its vaults by about 150,0001., and this week an addition has been also made to some extent, not withstanding the shipments to different parts. Con sols have ranged from 1001 to 101,-1. for Transfer, and have been 101/ / for Account. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been marked 1021 to 103, and the Three per Cents. loci to Bank Stock supports the improvement to 2221 and 223. Ex chequer-bills of March have been 745. to 765., and India Bonds 86s. to 89s. premium. Long Annuities aro 6/1 to /. Some of the Foreign Stocks are at improved values.

Russian Four-and.a-half per Cents. have been quoted 1041, and Danish Five per Cents. 104 Sardinian Stock continues at 94 to k ex-dividend. Railway Shares have been in moderate demand, and is the instance of East Lancashire, Shrewsbury, and Birmingham, North British, York and North Midland, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, there is decided buoyancy. Brighton likewise are firm. The Lanca shire and Yorkshire traffic shows a largo increase. French shares have been very quiet. Gold Mine shares, though dull, bring about previous rates.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY. CORN-EXCHAN GE-FRIDAY. On the whole, the arrivals of English W heat, coast wise and by land carriage, have been seasonably good, this week, those :by the former mode of conveyance having amounted to 4,410 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent, with a few parcels from Norfolk. The show of samples hero to-day, from some of the cargoes having been sold pier to arrival, was by no means extensive; nevertheless, the demend for all kinds was in a slug gish state et Monday's currencies. Scarcely any sales took place for forward delivery. From abroad, 7,160 quarters of Wheat have come to hand. Selected quali ties were held at full currencies. In other kinds, next to nothing was doing. Floating cargoes were quite as dear ca lust week. With Barley we were very model ately supplied. Most kinds sold at prev:ous figures. Malt,the show of which was comparatively small, moved off slowly, but no de cline took place in prices. Very few home-grown Oats were brought forward, hut the supply of foreign was good. Fine parcels sold at full quotations, but damp qualities were very dull. .13i ans and Peas sold at ex treme rates. No change in the value of Indian Corn or Flour. No imports of the latter article this week. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. Matt,. Oats. Flour Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

To-day's market was tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with Beasts, the general quality of which was by no means first .rate. For most kinds, the demand ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those ob taMed on Monday. The numbers of Sheep were season ably huge, whilst the sale for them was somewhat inac eve, at the late decline in the quotations—the top figure being 3s 8d per Blbs, Although the supply of Lambs was extensive the trade was firm, at full currencies. About 250 arrived from the Isle of Wight. We bad a fair inquiry for Calves, at late rates. In Pigs scarcely any business was transacted.

It has been ascertained from careful calculation by the projector, Thomas Wright, C.E., that the metropolis could be supplied at tho rat e o f 3d. per 1 00 ga ll ons , or ono good bath for a penny. It is a rena:l;lable fiet that notwithstanding our wealth, our boasted civilization, and mechanical skill, we fall infinitely short of the Greeks and Romans of ancient, and of most European countries of modern times, with rrFpect to our national baths; but on the in' troduction of tho marine water supply the greatest achievement in hydraulics ever yet attempted will be acomplished, a, d one well worthy the age we live la and the justly celebrated mechanical and scientific pre eminence of the British nation, STEAM-BOAT COLLlSlON.—lntelligence was received at Lloyd's on Wednesday of a most serious collision having occurred between the Clyde screw steam-ship, belonging to the Carron Company, and a coaster named the Beehive, on the steamer's recent trip from the Thames to Grangemout h, which resulted in the foundering of the smaller ye. sel and the loss of three lives. According the information A l " nishEd rt the London depot of the company, it would appear that the Clyde, Captain Alr=aider Watt, lett., her meetings off Carron Wharf; Lower Eaet Smithfield, on Saturday even ing, and proceeded down the river. The pilot was landed at Gravesend, and the s t eamer continued on her c )urrt At nightfall the usual red, green, and white lights wer e hoisted, and the ordinal/ pr: - .cautions t: teen of avoiding se: cident. About hale-past one on the f o ll ow i ng (Sunday) morning, when the Clyd e was m i dway between the Motile and Maplin Sands, a ve - sel was siehted two-and-a-half points on her starboard bow. The master, Mr. Watt, was '; the bridge at th e time, and the chief and second mai'" were on the forecastle on the look-out. From some unex plained circumstance the Beehive is said to have kept th e • course the was making when first perceived. She bet helm aport and came under the Clyde's bow. A collisioa appearing inevitable, Mr. Watt ordered the engines to be reversed and backed, and in other respects did everything, it would seem, t o aver t th e acc id ent. All f a i led, however. ! e u e vessels cams in con t ac t, an d suc h was the v i o l ence of the shock that the Beehive rapidly went down in ten fathom s water. The steamer's boats were promptly lowered in tb,e_ hope of preserving the poor fellows wh o f orme d the Beehive! crew. Only one. however, was picked up, the master and two men perishing. Immediately aster the collision the Clyde dropped her anchor and remained nearly two hours bl the scene of te accident, with a view of seeing whether either of the suffersrs were floating about on pieces of wrect Nothing, however, was seen of them. The unfortunate ves - was laden with iron, and wrs bound from Glasgow to London. The Clyde continued her trip to Grangernoutbt where the disaster was reported.
