Russell correctly describes them), there every reason to suppose that the two sitting Members will be returned. Mr. Spring Rice's opposition to the Ballot has un questionably damaged his cause, and it is thought will have the. effvct of placing Mr. P,yme at the head of the poll, but his (Mr. Rice's) seat can hardly be considered in jeopardy. No greater necessity for protecting- the freedom of election exists any where than at Cambridge, and it is to be hoped some de cisive measures for the security of the elector will be adopted by the next Parliament. LONDON, SVEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1837. No. 13,987. PRICE sd. A County Meeting was held yesterday for addressing the Queen and Queen Dowager. _The Requisition appears to have issued from a snug Conservative Meeting assembled about a fortnight ago, to regulate the County Representation, and the Addresses evidently emanated from the same quarter. The Constitutionalists not relishing the party-coloured complexion given to the proceeding, mustered in respectable numbers, and on the Address to the Queen having been read, Mr. Ashton; of Cambridge, complained that in referring to her Majesty'a de claration to the Privy Council, and quoting her expression of anxiety for the maintenance of the reformed religion,• it omitted the subsequent passage, stating her Majesty's desire " to secure to all the enjoyment of religious liberty," and .ho proposed the introduction of the words omitted, which after some discussion, and a careful survey of numbers, was pru dently agreed to. Mr. Rice arrived here last night and was escorted by a nu merous and respectable party of his constituents into the town. He and his colleague arc now engaged in their canvass, and intend to address their constituents this evening. AN OLD CORRESPONDENT AND CONSTANT RFADER OF THE SUN.

GENTLEMEN THE Dissol u tion of Parliament, now impending, will shortly call up on me to re s tore to you the imp ortant trust which you have been pleased to confide to me during two successive Parliaments. It is my intention again to solicit, for the third ti me, t h e same distinguished honour at your han d s . Th e ap proving sentence pronounced this day with re f eren ce to my col leagues and myself, by a numerous meeting of Electors at the London Tavern, emboldens me to hope that my conduct as your repres en t at i ve has been favourably received by the majority of my c onstituents. My v o t es an d p ro ceedings in Parliament, during the last five years, are before the public, and I may venture to ssert that they will be found consistent on e ve ry point with the 'politi ca l sentiments which I have uniformly proclaimed in address ing you. I have endeavoured to sustain in Parliament the cause of Reform, both constitutional and a dministrative, to the best of my abilities, and I shall persevere in the same course, if I should now have the honour of b e i ng re -elected- MY conviction of th e necess i ty of large improvements, in accordance with the present temper and hopes of the people, remains unaltered ; and in seeking the attainment of these objects, I shall endeavour as far as I can to combine earnest popular principles with sound and enlightened reason. I may also add, with confidence, that while I take a warm interest in the great questions of national welfare, I shall never be found neglect ful of the commercial prosperity of the metropolis, which ought to ba an object of watchful solicitude to your representatives, and with which my own position so closely identifies me. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble servant, GEORGE GROTE. KENSINGTON, TUESDAY.—About two o'clock this after noon his Serene Highness the Prince Ernest of Hesse Phil ' lipsthal Barchficld visited her Majesty. At a quarter past three o'clock the Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Leiningen, and the Duchess of Sutherland, left the Palace in an open landau, drawn by four gray horses, and preceded by two outriders, for St. James's, where her Majesty held a Privy Council. A large number of persons awaited her Majesty's arrival, by whom she was received with every demonstration of loyalty and attachment. The Prince of Leiningen followed in another of her Majesty's carriages with four horses. The Queen returned to Kensington about a quarter to six o'clock. This evening the Queen did not take her accustomed drive, much to the disappointment of a large concourse of persons, who had assembled to witness her departure. Greatly to the regret of the inhabitants of Kensington, it is understood her Majesty will leave here on Thursday next. The household are busily employed in preparing for their departure.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, 62, Threadneedle -street , Jul y 10, 1837. - -- • TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, N the eve o f a di sso l ut i on o f P ar li ament, I re f er with great satisfaction to the unanimous Resolution passed yesterday, at a numerous Meeting of Electors, at the London Tavern, inviting my colleagues and myself " to stand forward again as Can didates on Liberal principles," for the high distinction of your Re presentatives in the House of Commons ; and, with the confidence which that Resolution must inspire, I solicit for the third time the honour of your suffrages. In the course of my Parliamentary duty, I have consistently maintained the political views which first recommended me to your choice ; I have zealously endeavoured to promote every measure promising to advance the commercial prosperity of the country ; and I trust I shall not be found to have been wanting on any occa sion in attention to the wishes and local interests of my immediate oonstituents. Whilst I rest my pretension to your renewed confidence at the approaching Election upon your experience of the faithful discharge of my duties in Parliament, I feel that, if re-elected, I cannot snore effectually exercise the privileges of the high trust which will be reposed in me, than by continuing to afford nay cordial support to her Majesty's Ministers, on all such measures of Liberal policy as shal lappear to be in unison with the paramount principle by which I believe them to be governed—that of maintaining, strengthen ing, and improving the great institutions of the country. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your very faithful Servant, WILLIAM CRAWFORD. Broad-street, July 11, 1837. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, ADissolution of Parliament is immediately ex pected, and Ibe respectfully to announce to you my inten tion of again becoming a Candidate for the honourable distinction of being one of your representatives. The Resolutions carried this day at the London Tavern by a numerous and influential body of the Constituency of the City of London agreeing unanimously to support my colleagues and self at the ensuing Election, manifestly demonstrate an approval of my Parliamentary conduct, most gratifying to my feelings, and call for toy ea hest - Ind warmest acknowledgements. l'he political opinions I expressed when I had the honour of ad ei:ecsing you remain unchanged, and are in fact recorded by my votes on every important question which has been brought before Parliament. Should I again be elected one of your Representatives, you will continue to find me what I have ever avowed myself, "an unflinch ing Reformer, prepared to carry out the spirit of Reform wherever it can be beneficially applied in Church and State." The interests of this great commercial City will always receive my anxious attention and strenuous support, and I shall ever be most de.irous of witnessing its welfare and prosperity.

LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETIES hare been so long esta blished, their benefits so extensively known and felt, that little fur ther argument is requisite to satisfy the provident of every class of their utility. Such institutions are of incalculable value, in miti gating the evils flowing out of the individual uncertainty of life; and in equalizing to the survivors of a short life, the fruits of a long one. Their number and progress within the last few years is a de cided proof of advancing intelligence. It must not, however, be overlooked, that the great advantages they confer are as yet almost exclusively enjoyed by the upper classes. The great bulk of society, possessed of no certain income, relying on the exertion of industry for support—however ample for the present, but subject to the various uncertainties of life—seldom in any number resort to Life Assurance for the provision of a Fa mily: —hence to them the construction of these Establishments is less inviting than to those of a certain income, however limited. Again, the occupations and engagements of this class, by far the most numerous, important, and wealthy in the aggregate, expose them to vicissitudes, in reality only affecting the few, yet the apprehension of which, and the uncertainty of continued income, deter them from entering into contracts for assurance ; where the advantage, being so remote, is moreover made to depend on the chances of a perma nent state of prosperity, over which the most prudent have no kind of control. Against the class above mentioned the door of Life Assurance is at present closed ; few will venture across its threshold, who are uncertain Gf the future means out of which to make good the pay ment of the annual premium, or subject themselves with the loss of their policy to the mortification of having spent their money in To remedy the defects of the present system, the application of a new princ►ple is required; viz. to make the advantage derivable from an annual saving, or accumulation, contingent on two or more chanees—death, or misfortune during the lifetime of the party assured. In the one case, the benefit would reach the survivor; in the other, it would commence in favour of the assured himself at the very point of permanent or temporary embarrassment. By the present plan of Life Assurance the benefits arise upon a single contingency—the death of the party assured ; and this again contingent on the regularity in the payment of the annual premium. But it has been shown this can only be promised, or wisely under taken, by those having a specific and certain income ; and there fore, to include all classes, those who do, and those who do not pos sess a certain income, that plan of Life Assurance would far sur pass all others in utility and attraction, which would convert the annual saving or premium paid by the assured, either int, a protec tion to him in the event of misfortune—the means of promoting, at all times, his present interest—or a provision for his family at death. Compared to the interest an individual takes in himself, the pro vision for his family is secondary, notwithstanding the strength of the latter feeling in the human breast; and it wili be considered by every one, at least, of equal importance to protect himself against the occurrence of casualties and reverses while living, as to provide for his family at death. By the plan of this Assurance Society, it is proposed to join to gether these two strongest of human motives, and by this means to give the most powerful encouragement to lay up a provision for the future. It is therefore proposed that the fund arising out of the premiums paid by the assured, will be made capable of fulfilling two or more objects:—first, by the payment of the contract on the po licy; secondly, a loan-fund, out of which the assured will be en titled, under certain guarantees, to borrow equal to two-thirds of his payments; thirdly. in the event of inability to continue his pay ments, such other equitable disposition of his interest in his policy will be allowed him as he may choose. By this means his apprehen sion of great pecuniary loss, in the event of non-payment of pre mium, will be removed—a vast class of. society will thereby be ad mitted; and every individual, while steadily pursuing one object— s provision for his family at death—will have, by the plan of this Society, a door open to his savings, which will never be closed against his wants or his use. New facilities will also be afforded by this Society in the accu mulation of capital, also through the means of Life Assurance, to advance Loans on Life Interests. That no one may incur undue risks at first, the engagements of this Society at its commencement will be guaranteed by a Capital of 500,000/., although other wealthy and flourishing establishments have found this wholly unnecessary : and that afterwards the Capi tal may not press on the assured, it is intended to connect with it the purchase of Reversionary and other Interests, and to enlarge the capital as the business of both departments increase ; but the premium on each addition to the Capital to belong exclusively to the original Proprietors. In the various schemes of Proprietary Assurance Companies the division of Bonuses is proportioned to the rate of premium de-. manded. Mutual Assurance Societies, notwithstanding they di vide all profit, demand too high a rate of premium in order to cover the risk. In this Society, the premium will be as low as the object included will admit; and as it is intended to divide with the assured two-thirds of the profits of the Life and Reversionary Interest De partments, the inducement to assure with the Society, on this score alone, will be greater than with those Proprietary Companies ; while, besides a much lower rate of premium, a compensation will be offered that may be greater than any advantage held out by Mutual Assurance Societies. The Rates of Assurance are calculated from original and exten sive Manuscript Tables founded on a law of mortality, which has been derived by combining accurate theory with the best experi ence ; and they effect the most perfect and equitable adjustment of each contingency to the several periods of human life. The growth and success of Life Assurance Companies, and the profit attendant on their operations, will be best understood by con trasting the present Market Valise of the Shares of a few of the principal Offices with the price originally paid for those Shares.

The first declaration of Profits will he made after a period of three and not more than five years, and afterwards annually ; but in the meantime the Shareholders will receive Si. per Cent. per Annum on the paid-up Capital. The immediate attention of the Directors will be given to the Establishment of Offices and Agencies throughout the United King dom. As a stimulus to the extension of the Society, Committees of the assured will be formed in each locality, and a separate calcula tion made of its success ; and besides the general Bonus of two thirds of the profits, the assured in each locality will be entitled to a separate Bonus, the amount of which will be made to depend on the value and extent of their own exertions.

The benefit was great, and has led me still further to recommend it, but, unfortunately, the funds of the hospital are low, and our patients too often cannot afford the purchase of your snuff, it being, from its price, almost as unattainable to the poor as patent medicine would he. If it be not asking too much, could you form any arrangement by which the really indigent patients of this institution could be supplied with the eye-snuff at a lower price, on producing a re commendation to that effect, signed by me. If you oould, I would ask you to be so kind as to write to me here on the subject ; in doing so you would perform a great act of charity, and the obligation would be felt, not only by the poor whore you would relieve, but by your obedGUientT serva HßlE nt, .1.

THE HOUSEHOLD.—It is now certain that at Windsor Castle a very extensive alteration will take ph:ce in the formation of the household of our new Queen, the greater portion of the servants of his late Majesty being under orders of dismissal, but some of them, only those who held warrants of appointment, will have pensions granted to them, according to the length and nature of their services. Tim pensions, however, will, it is believed, be upon a much smaller scale than those granted upon former occasions. The establishment of the Queen Dowager, which is chiefly composed of her old servants, will, however, supply employment for many who were fearful of a dismissal. Ot her Majesty's twelve footmen she has selected eight. Nearly all of the highest members of the household of his late Majesty will retire End be superse(!ed by others selected by Queen Victoria. Amcng the new ap pointments in the household of Queen Victoria, it is stated at the Castle that the Hon. Colonel Cavendish, now one of the Equerries in Waiting, will be the new Clerk-marshal of the Household, in the room of Sir Andrew Barnard. Th e gallant colonel resides in the vicinity of Windsor, and keeps an establishment upon an extensive scale. He is much and deservedly respected in that town. At public dinners, after " The health of her Ma jesty, Queen Victoria," is given, the second toast is " Queen Adelaide and the rest of th*..! Royal Family ;" and the National Anthem is commenced thus : " God save our Gracious Queen, " Victoria, England's Queen. " God save the Queen." The Royal plate was removed yesterday from St. James's Palace, to the Queen's new Palace in St. James's_ Park. Other preparations were also made at the new palace for the reception of her Majesty. Parliament will not be prorogued by the Queen in person, it being considered unadvisable to subject her Majesty to unnecessary excitement. It is, however, her . Majesty's in tention to open the new Parliament, and to deliver the address to the Lords and Commons from the throne. It was stated Yesterday about the Houses of Par liament that the prorogation (to be followed by an immediate dissolution) would take place on Tuesday next. There are upwards of three hundred workmen now engaged at Buckingham Palace. Orders have been issued that they shall finish by to-night. All the plate was removed from St. James's Palace yesterday morning, as well as the whole of the kitchen apparatus. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford have arrived at Endsleigh Cottage, near Tavistock. His Grace is much im proved in health ; and on the Ist of August, they will travel by easy stages to the romantic cottage of the Duchess in the Highlands. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, accompa nied by their distinguished visiter, Princess Lieven, returned to Stafford House yesterday, from West-hill, Wandsworth ; their Graces will continue their grand dinners until after the first drawing-room. The Duke of Devonshire is recovering from the ef fects of hay fever. His Grace has been giving several dinner parties at his house at Kemptown, although on a circumscribed seal°. The fetes at his villa, at Chiswick, will commence immediately on the Duke's return to London. There will not be, it is said, any banquets at Devonshire House this season. Lord Southampton and a party sailed from the Thames, on Monday, in his yacht, on a cruise. Sir Francis Burdett has recently arrived in town. The health of the Hon. Baronet is much improved. We are much gratified to be able to inform our readers that the Queen has been pleased to appoint the lady of Thomas Brand, Esq., one of the women cf her Majesty's bed chamber. Mr. Brand is a candidate for the representation of Brighton in the ensuing Parliament on the Liberal interest, and we have no doubt that this and other appointments will tend materially to convince the public that her Majesty is desirous of dispensing her patronage amongst persons of liberal principles. Mr. Brand is nephew of Lord Dacre. In consequence of the'fancy dress ball for the bene fit of the Royal Academy of Music taking place on Friday evening, on a scale of great splendour, the Ladies Patronesses of the Highland ball have postponed that fete to the 17th inst., being well aware that two grand assemblies could not be held on consecutive evenings without proving injurious to both. A Special General Meeting of the Proprietors of East India Stock, was held this morning at their House in Lcadenhall street. At twelve o'clock Sir James Carnac, accompanied by nearly all the Directors, entered the Court, and having taken the Chair, the minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The Chairman then informed the Court that several papers had been presented to Parliament since the last Court, a list of which was laid on the table, pursuant to the directions of the Act of Parliament. The CHAIRMAN then said they were all aware that that Special Court had been summoned for the purpose of afford ing pthe Proprietors an opportunity of expressing their loyal feeling and attachment to the Sovereign who had succeeded to the Throne, whose youth, sex, and high station, demanded the respect of all. He would not then dwell upon the virtues of the late Sovereign—they needed no herald, and were shown forth most strongly in the public sympathy. He was one who cared nothing for the trappings of royalty—his feel. ings, his tastes, and his habits were entirely English, and peculiarly qualified him to govern over this country. The death of such a Monarch was, of course, universally re gretted • and he was proud that, on that melancholy occa sion, all felt as if they had lost a dear friend. Such feelings must flow for the dead ; but on turning to the present occupant of the Throne, there was room for much hope for the future. They had now a Queen upon the throne who had been educated for the'high station she had been called upon to fulfil—she was an Englishwoman, and one who, upon every occasion where an opportunity offered, had displayed great ta lents and a good heart. He need not impress upon the Court the propriety of the East India Company joining the nation in expressing their regret for the departed, and also of expressing their dutiful feelings of loyalty and attachment to her wh o h a d been called upon t o ascend the Throne ; he would, therefore, without further detaining the Court, propcse that an address of congratulation and condolence receive the Company's seal, and be presented to her Majesty. The DEPUTY CHAIRMAN seConded the motion. Mr. TWINING rose with considerable emotion upon that, the third time he had had the honour of addressing the Court upon such solemn occasions. He entirely concurred in every ex pression of regret and congratulation which had fallen from the Chair with such feeling and eloquence—it was, therefore, almost unnecessary for him to add a word • but it was in strict accor d ance w i t h t h e anc i ent usages Of that Court, that upon such solemn occasions some expressions of feel ing should come from outside the bar. Before proceeding to the immediate subject before them, he could not help express ing his deep regret at the loss which the Court had sustained in the death of the eloquent and learned Mr. Randal Jackson, whose aid and assistance he had always had upon former occa sions. For the third time since he - had the honour of a seat in the Court, they were, then, called upon to express their condolence and regret for the loss of their Sovereign—on the present occasion that regret was deep and sincere. He in passing would merely glance at the great judgment shown by George the Third in devoting two of his sons to those pro. fessions upon which depended the safety, peace, and welfare of the empire. One had been devoted to the army, by whom its discipline was so improved, as to make it fit to be entrusted to a Wellington, who led it to the greatest victory which was upon record, and which Lad secured that for which a victory was alone to be wish e d f or —th e peace an d tranqu illi ty o f t h e empire for an unusual length of time. The late Sovereign was destined to the sea service of his country, and his conduct in that service and the feelings he then imbibed led him to receive the proud distinction of being recorded as the " Sailor King." In all his transactions as a private gentleman, for to that rank he was pleased frequently to bring himself, there was no man who had more the art of insuring and almost commanding the love and respect of those around him. His attachment to the Consti tution, and his devoted attachment to the Church, endeared him to the people, and obtained from them sentiments of love and gratitude. Throughout his reign the country had enjoyed the blessings •of peace, and he trusted those blessings would continue throughout that reign which had now begun so usticicusly.—( Hear.) It was a matter of gratification to him that, without flattery, lie could in the spirit of truth say, that though all Royalty was still mankind, and of course liable to all their vices and p sssions, still in the life of the late King there were virtues whic`v stood as beacons for the guidance of those who were called upon to succeed him. The reign which had now commenced had 'began under very peculiar circumstances. He thought that little was to be apprehended from the youth of the Sovereign. When George the Third was called to the throne, he was very young and inexpe rienced, yet his was a long and glorious reign. He trusted that the present one would be equally so—as wzs the ear nest wish of all. With those feelings he perfectly concurred in all that had been so ably stated by the Chairman. Sir C. FORIIER also expressed his entire concurrence in the speeches of both gentlemen. Mr. FIELDEN said it was in the reign of Queer. Elizabeth that the Company had been established. He trusted that as this was the first Queen since that occasion, her present Ma j :sty would follow in the fo-tsteps of that glorious woman. The Address was then put and agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose an address of con dolence to the Queen Dowager—she, who not only lamented the loss of her King, but also her husband. Her conduct had to the last been a model of domestic affection, and it became them to show that such qualities accorded with the national feelings and national character, and that they commanded re spect, a dmiration, and sympathy. Mr. TWINING and Mr. MmiesoT concurred in the propriety of all that had fallen from the Chairman. The Address was agreed to, and the Court broke up. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

MONEY MARKET, TUESDAY.--By the advices from Hamburgh the pi ice of gold is 436 - per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10311. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. lot., and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 11., it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. lower at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 11i- per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOicl the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.44., and the exchange at Paris pn Loudon at short being 25. 57-., it follows that gold is 0 54. per cent. lower at Paris than in London. The price of sove reignspiaoprekr of o n 1 1 2 ,0 1 n i a p o e n r be e in cn g cent., from and 1 the at N ew Y or k i s 5. 40., which gives an exchange in cours p e er o c f e e n x t c ., h vi an h g ic e b a at givesNe aw 6 to 122 mean of 119, it follows that the exchange is 2} per cent. against England. On the alleged information of a "pigeon express" some purchases took place in Spanish stock, and the price rose about 2 per cent. These expresses have now attained a more perfect organization, and the operations of the Paris market, when they are worth knowing, may generally be conveyed to London within business hours on the succeeding day. The parties probably do not make a very lucrative occupation of it, and it does harm in the way of a discouragement of general business, as the brokers are unwilling to buy or sell if they even suspect that others are in possession of better means of estimating the value of the article dealt in.—Morning Paper. We learn in Windsor, and from tolerably good au thority, that to-morrow or next day her Majesty the Queen will come to the Castle on a visit, and will leave the same day. During this week it is understood that the Queen will review the whole of the Household troaps in Hyde Park, and her Majesty will upon that occasion appear on horseback. Several horses arc now being tried to see if they will " stand fire," so that one may be selected for the Queen, who, how ever, is known to be a good and fearless rider. A few days ago the Queen Dowager had into her presence the pages who had taken their turns in waiting on the late King, and stated to them her sense of the manner in which they had performed their duties, adding that their late Royal Master had expressed himself most favourably of their great attention to him. The Queen Dowager then presented to each, as a mark of her approbation, a very handsome pre sent, chiefly jewellery, all of which articles had belonged to the late King. We regret to hear to-day that the Queen Dow ager is much indisposed, and that she is unable to leave her residence at Bushey.—Morning Paper. The Lords of the Admiralty have chartered the James Pattison to convey 272 male convicts to New South Wales ; the Asia to convey 280 female convicts to New South Wales; and the Susan to convey 300 male convicts to Van Died en's Land. The two former will sail in a few days, and the latter in the course of next week, for their respective destinations. We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, churchwar dens and representative vestrymen of St. James's, Westmin ster, approach your Majesty with the most profound senti ments of fidelity and attachment. We beg leave to express our regret and sympathy with your Majesty for the loss of our late Most Gracious Sovereign, under whose rule peace has been preserved, the laws amended, and our rights and libertiei promoted and secured. His Ma jesty has carried to the grave the grateful remembrances of an affectionate people. We beg leave also to express our high satisfaction at the auspicious accession of your Majesty, who, born and educated amongst a free people, under the tender care of a wise, liberal, and religious mother, are about to fulfil the sanguine expecta tions of a great and enlightened nation. We look forward With confident hope to the judicious ap plication of reform to all the time-honoured, but time-worn, institutions of our country ; to a mitigation of the severity of our laws, and an abatement of the perplexities of their prac tice ; to see the blessing.: of education brought home to every cottage door ; and, above all, the cultivation of Christian charity amongst all classes of your Majesty's subjects. That these expectations will be fulfilled we have a well founded assurance in your Majesty's gracious declaration to your Council on your accession, and by the cheering fact of your Majesty's having bestowed your confidence on those en lightened Ministers to whom we owe the extension of our li berties at home, and the abolition of slavery abroad. We trust, therefore, and believe, that under Providence your Majesty may be the appointed means of conveying peace, liberty, happiness, and prosperity, to the millions over whom your Majesty is called to reign. COLOSSEUM, REGENT'S PARK. The Colosseum, Regent's Park, continues to hold out a pre eminence in attraction to the exhibition-loving portion of the community. That stupendous work of art the Panorama of London, is an object which it would be difficult to equal in beauty or in grandeur. It occupies a surface of 46,000 square feet, and presents a complete pictorial history of the metropolis and its suburbs. The myriads of edifices, public and private, which London Contains, are here grouped together in no less distinct than magnificent representation. The next view in the order of exhibition, as well as of merit, is the Saloon of Arts. Specimens of and casts from sculpture by the most eminent artists are collected in the 'saloon, together with many other objects of curious and interesting research. The Optical Gal lery is also 'deserving of commendation, and affords a striking display of the triumphs of science, in particular the extraordi nary results produced through the medium of the microscope ; and also some of those instruments of magical illusion which have been employed with so much effect in the service of super stition in the dark ages. The Conservatories at this season are particularly beautiful, and filled with a rare and expensive collection of foreign and tropical plaits, which arc cal , mlated to delight not merely the botanist and florist, but every class of visitors. They extend 300 feet, and arc divided into six com partments, each having different temperatures, and producing different descriptions of plants. The stove-plants are at this time in a fine healthy state. A splendid marine grotto, or cavern, is also exhibited, apparently formed in the bowels of the earth, with walls and flooring of rocks, and roof covered with stalactites. There is in like manner a bpecitnen of Ameri can scenery, with a picturesque waterfall. We had nearly for gotten the firework gallery, the extraordinary appearance of which, description can hardly do justice to. Altogether the Colosseum is one of the most attractive places of exhibition and amusement of which we know. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. These gardens were on Monday evening filled with a most respectable and fashionable company ' • at one period there could not have been less than - eight thousand persons pre sent. The inspection of the beasts and other curiosities oc cupied the attention of the crowds of visitors until Mr. Green and the balloon made their appearanc.-. The day was pecu • liarly fine, and every person in the gardens had a complete view of the aeronaut, and the majnificcnt balloon which wa' to waft him through the air ; and although these exhibiti o ns have now become frequent, the public enthusiasm and admi ration do not appear to be at all abated. When Mr. Green and another gentleman ascended the car, they were hailed with a hearty cheer, and the company testified their sa:israc tion and delight as the ropes were cast off, and the aerial vessel ascended into the atmosphere. The great attraction of the evening, however, was the eruption of Mount Vow:al. Bordering the large sheet of water which is situated in the centre of the gardens, there was constructed, with admirable skill and effect, a model of Mount Vesuvius end the a ljacent hills, with a representation of the town of Naples, which re flected great credit upon the taste and talent of the artist. As soon as the dusk of evening set in the smoke from the crater indicated in mimic representation, the approach 4.1 the eruption. At intervals, volumes of ashes were thrown forth, a livid flame followed, the lava flowed down the ridge of the mountain, setting fire to everything which opposed its pro gress to the sea, and the whole bay and buildings reflected with admirable effet the stupendous phenom enon o f t h e burn- ing Mountain ; in fact, all the phases which we either read of or have seen of this wonderful curiosity, were represented with a scenic effect which to be appreciated must be seen. We think, however, that the burst of fire-works, as rockets and blue-lights, Which were sent forth from the crater were out of place, althenkh we admit that the majority of the spec. tators were not so erktical as to blame this display of pyrotech. nical skill. The intervals which elapsed between the ascent of the balloon and the eruption, was a dreary hiatus in the-en tertainment of the evening, and we would suggest to the ma. nagers the propriety of devising some means of filling up the vacuum with some novelty which would relieve the tedium of a delay of at least two hours. It is true that no inconveni ence arose last night, the company being exceedingly orderly and patient ; this, however, may not always be the case, and it would be well for them to consider that " prevention is the best cure." Sir Ger,rge Gipps, Sir Charles Forbes,.M . r. Morris, and Mr. Barclay, had interviews with Lord Glenclglesterday at the Colonill•office. The lion. Mrs. Portman gave an elegant dinner yes'erday to the Earl and Countess of Darlington, Lady A. Poulett, the Earl and Countess Poulett, Lord Forester, Lord Hotham, Mr. T. Duncombe, M. P., &c. The accounts from all the departments of France continued to speak in glowing terms of the prospects from the forthcoming harvest and vintage. IMPROVED MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH SPAIN, PORTUGAL, AND THE MEDITERRANEAN.--Wc under stand that Government has contracted with the Peninsular Steam Company for a weekly conveyance of the above mails to Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar—the corres pondence for Madrid and the central parts of Spain to be sent to Vigo instead of going through France as heretofore. The Lisbon Mail will now be forwarded by steam instead of sailing packets, the irregularity of which Las been matter of such great and just complaint for some time past among the mer chants connected with Portugal ; and instead of a mail to the south of Spain and Gibraltar only once a month, as is now the case, there will be one every week. Connected with this im provement we believe Government intend to establish a more frequent communication through the Mediterranean to Malta, Greece, and Egypt. To those who have felt the inconve nience of the present very inefficient conveyance for these mails, the important advantages of this improvement must be obvious. But it has another claim to the approbation of the public; for while it cannot fail to increase the trade with those countries, as well as to add considerably to the Post Office re venue, it will, we underst . and, be carried into effect at less than half the cost of the very defective establishment which it supersedes, and will so far surpass. Credit we think is due to the Government for so promptly availing itself of the means afforded for effecting an object of so much public importance. The break 4 ing up of the present packet establishment, which is to take place forthwith, must of course be attended with some loss of patronage, a matter on which all governments are sup. posed to be somewhat tenacious, but such a consideration has not, it appears, been suffered to stand in the way on this oc casion. . — Acorrespondent informs us that Sir Winfred Law son, the brother-in-law of Sir James Graham, has written to that Right Hon. Baronet to say that he cannot support him at the approaching election for East Cumberland. The same report has reached us from other quarters. Surely S'r James shnul4 take the hint, and, by retiring at once, save the county from the turmoil of a contested election.— Morning Paper. NORTH RIDING OF YORKSIIIRE.-(From a Correspondent.) —A meeting of the Thirsk Reform Association was held at the Three Tuns, on Monday last, and was most respectably attended. A guarantee fund was formed for the purpose of s2curing Mr. Caylcy's return to Parliament as the represen tative of the North Riding. 5001. was immediately subscribed. There is not much probability of a contest, but if the Tories slio.;ld have the temerity to bring forward another Conservative in addition to Mr. W. Duncombe, the Liberals Are prepared to meet them and to give them a good threshing.' OXFORDSHIRE. —More than three-fourths of the electors of Witney, whom the Liberal candidate, Mr. Stonor, canvassed on Monday, have pledged themselves to support him. Mr. Stouor's reply to the calumnious charges which Mr. Ashurst brought forward has annihilated that gentleman's epistolary fame, and for ever extinguished the fanatic catch-word of the Tories. COCKERMOUTII.-Mr. Horsman again offers himself on the Reform interest. DEVON ( SOUTH.)—Mr. Belted, the son-in-law of Earl Grey, and a sound \Vhig, arrived in Exeter on Friday morning from town, and declared himself a candidate for the represen tation of South Devon. The announcement was sudden, but most opportune. Sir John Buller, dreading Mr. Bulteel's popularity, has left Mr. Parker to shift for himself. Mr- Bulteel's progress through the south has been most triumohant. He visits Plymouth to-day, in which neighbourhood be has considerable property. DEVON (Norrier.)-- Lord Ebrington will arrive in this neighbourhood in the course of a day or two. Mr. Fellowes has not yet issued his address ; but the report that he has re tired from the contest has been officially contradicted. Ht'LL.—Failing Mr. Hall, the name of Mr. Morison, at present Member for Ipswich, has been mentioned. After a long and arduous search the Tories have succeeded in finding two candidates for defeat by the Reformers ; their names are given out to be (for the gentlemen have not vet shown them selves) Sir Walter James and Mr. Wilberforce. We hear that the Tories hope, by the use of Mr. Wilberforce's name, and Sir Walter's long purse, to drag the former through the ordeal of the hustings—a high compliment this to the Ba rJnet for whom it is clear they have little hope and no sym pathy. The course of the Reformers is clear—to unite upon a man as the colleague of Mr. llutt, respecting whose princi ples and character there can be no mistake, and, having done so, triumphantly to carry their election. We repeat that they have the power to do so ; if they were strong enough at the last election to defeat the Tory, who came as a commercial man—to which character the present Tory candidates cannot lay the least claim—their strength is increased since then, and, if used unitedly and firmly, it must lead to the triumph of the good cause. —Hall Observer. EXETEK.—An understanding exists between Mr. Divctt's friends and On agents of Sir W. Follett that the Tories aro nut to bring forward a second man ; but to-day there is a ge neral talk of a requisition having been addressed to Mr. Sa muel Kingdon, by the Tories, to stand as an independent Con servative, and that he has taken till Wednesday to deliberate (ei the subject. The Reformers aro not alarmed by the event, and have determined to put Mr..l. D. Osborn up in opposition to Mr. Kiugdon, in the event of his deciding in the affirmr.tire on Wednesday. Many Reformers feel' desirous of having a second - candidate, notwithstanding the " understanding ;" and some conversation has arisen respecting a requisition to Ser geant Wilde, who is a very great favourite here; but nothing will induce the Reformers to hazard the safety of Mr. Dirett. Thu TorieA arc ev ir1.... 2 1, : _ay.;..1 . 0,‘.. W. Kr\T (WEsT) —Sir E. Filmer has been induced to enter the lists against Mr. Hodtzes. We hope his attempt will be futile ; but the fears of the most judicious Reformers prevail over their hopes.—Kentish Chronicle. MsinsTose.—Mr. D'lsraeli, the rejected of many places, has come down to try his luck at Maidstone on the Tory inte rest, against Mr. Roberts, the old and highly respected Libe ral Member, which has roused the activity of the Reformers to a degree never exceeded.—lbid. IZocuErren will be severely contested, so ftr as the second spat is concerned, Mr. Bernal being deemed secure. Captain Best was hardly the man to be pitted against Mr. Hobhousc, whose consistency as a Reformer is well known ; Lora Wyn ford's connection with those Orange lodges, by which disaffec tion was attempted to be sown in the army, will not, as lie stands on the Tory interest, serve him much. " Like father like son, ' may here be well applied.—lbid. CIIATIIAM.—The lion. G. Byng is secure for Chatham ; and he will be a valuable Member for that borough. STROUD.—An anonymous Correspondent writes, " A Tory candidate is expected to come forward, in opposition to Lord John Russell." HUDDERSFIELD.—Mr. Stansfield has been introduced as a candidate by Mr. Brooke. ,F.omtNsTEn.—Mr. Bish has withdrawn from the contest for this t iwn II ERTFORD. —Mr. Cowper has made a successful canvass of this borough. Lord Mahon's has been by no means so satisfac tory as his friends seem anxious to persuade us. ASTI NGE. —Mr. Holland's friends arc sanguine of that gentlemen's success. BRIGHTON. —Mr. Wigney, according to the Gtearditar, having offended Mr. Faithful, is threatened with expulsion. LEWES. —lt has been said that Sir Charles Blunt's return is certain, and that there is every reasonable probability that Mr. Brown will be his colleague. CA MBRIDGE. —Mr. Rice is here. His return, with that of Mr. Pryme for a colleague, is certain. Thu Cambridge In dependent Press says, that "let the election come when it may, the majority in favour of the Liberal candidates will be a triumphant one." BOSTON.—A severe contest is going on, and how it will end cannot at present be predicted. One thing is certain, the Reformers there, although they disagree among themselves, will never suffer two Tories to be returned. The wonder is, that one should be tolerated. It is expected that the contest will be between Messrs.
