TIMES.—The abyss of ignominy into which Louis liorspire is pluegieg the French notion st „ vias to o-eome doily more unfathomable. No sentner have we Ciparb•li one portion of the gloomy gult in which the past, the present, and the future Of France s st a n to be buti.. 4 , tom) we are aware of lower depths and datkPr sh id,ws. We have ransacked ancient his , .,•ry to btford us parallels in order to bring more vividly to our orin minds and thos.- of our readers a state of things for which modern Europe, happily, amid all its disordc-rs and retrogressine, affords no Prete dent. Toe estees of Pitilip or Commodus may faintly image the fetes and spectacles offered to Paris in exchange for her liberty, end the annals of Rome before the Reeirmittion may afford miracles as false and demands as shameless as those of the Bishop of Le ; but for his last stroke of genius the Presi dent: need fear no historic parallel; it is happily unique and origirae, a Napoleonic idea, and only Na poleonic. The effort of the President. has been not merely to enslave the country wbich, seduced by ouths and promises, trusted her liberty in his faithless hanas, but to make the nati on itself the accom plice in its own degradati on . R epress i on is carried - to such an extent, and th e power exerte d i s so peremptory and absolute, th a t people are com pelled not merely to acquiesce, b u t to ta k e an active and eager interest in rivetting their own fetters. Domitiau, as Tacitus tells us, kept a. register of men's sighs. Louis Bonaparte must have his every act of aggression welcomed with smiles. Many have snatched absolute power by violence, or clutched it by fraud; he alone demands as a gift that which he has already taken as a right. But, more than this, he puts into the mouths of his people entreaties for slavery and petitions for degradation, sanctioned and enforced by an appeal to the deepest and tenderest passions of human nature. If it were po s si bl e to raise a free vo i ce or w i e ld a tree pen in France, there is no topic. to Which the writer or orator would so readily resort as the blighted hopes and ruined destinies of the rising gener a ti on of F renchmen . "Y o u are content," Constant might have said or Courier have written,--. e you are content to forego all that your ancestors conquered for you, fur yourselves and to bow before a power as much more odious than h claims and histori c o a that traditions o . Be f the ite Grand .e Montague as fraud and fo rce are worse than here ditary Your lives and liberti es are whom you may think the safer than re bornintoveu withfree domif you please, squander them y on y o ur any own, and adventurer you may, yourselves. But defectsua of public spirit, and, if not for your as e, at any ra ten your children They, at l east , r e t ; they were not deprived by any act rer f their o own of this right, and they claim its contin ua nce from you. Let natural affection suptly the for theirs, be free. You leave them your land s an d your goods ; leave them also the inheritance of equ a l law and popular government, without which the pro prietor is a ryot, and the millionaire a mere deposi tory for the State." Will it be believed th a t this very appeal, so irresistibly urging to freedom, L on e, Napoleon Bonaparte is now making to France, or rather requiring France to make to him, in order that he may perpetuate her slavery ? On behalf of the children whom they may fondle on their knees, as they value the hopes of the dearest objects of parental love, the fathers of France are instructed to beseech Louis Bonaparte to break yet one more oath by declaring his power perpetual, and thus to secure the future of millions, whose existence they are made to assure him hangs upon his breath. There is something in this passing the limits of ordi nary degradation, and the very sacrament of nature is profaned and invaded when the love of tile parent for his child is put forward as a ground for selling him into servitude. Let our readers judge for them selves. There is now printed and circulated in France a petition to the Senate, prepared by an ardent supporter of the President, under the direc tion of the Minister of the Interior, for the re-es tablishment of hereditary power in the person of Louis Bonaparte. This dectiment, which we have elsewhere given at length, purportp• to be signed by fath?rs of families and labourers. It states, that in a country like France all interests are placed under the sovereign influence of the Chief of the State; that who is to be this chief ought not to be Made a periodical question ; that oth-revise a father cannot possibly know the puliticol c.ojui crore under which he will provide fur the marriage of the child whom he fondles upon his knee; that therefore such a presidency cannot satiety the loftiest and sweetest sentiments of parental and conjugal love; that, were it otherwise, the births ought in a peculiar manner to correspond to the renovation of the Executive ; and that the present generation, having conquered anarchy, would violate all the duties which it owes to succeeding generations if it were to allow the prin. ciple of resistance to be individualized ; and prays, for these and other reasons, that Louis Napoleon may be invested with an hereditary succession. We can imagine no grosser insult offered to any nation than that contained in this really official document. Go vernment in France, where the .&foniteur lately as sured us " an essay was being made of the most un bounded liberty," is always to be absolute, and the only question is in whose bands that absolute power is to be vested. Despotism in France is an accom plished tact; and, according to this petition, no other form of government is possible. All that can be done for future generations is to make it stable and permanent, and, in order to gratify the affectionate yearnings of fathers of families, to selecting her own master . S o win' pletely are the deprive posterity of the l as t vestige of freedom; the power of people o f F rance cons id ere d to be the property of th e i r present and future rulers , that , it is even suggest e d, in a spirit of ironical an d con p temptuous exaggeration, that no parent oug ht to bring up a child except be be born at the p articular period at whi c h the change of de n asty is to take tiny ; sbe cannot tell what will become of ere piece. France has lost all control over her own h des tiny not presume to offer an opinion on s utject.th u e encoover All she wishes is, that the last r ei r ic roefr. off The father her fate may be taker, from her for e he has, as far as of a family cannot be heY deprived his unconscious off human rust itutions y. of regaining the freedom epring of the last poe m fr o his degenerate hands.

We need not doubt unli mited ju t will be graciously received, that the that the pethtion fe n d affection s of fathers and families will be held an excus e for the zeal with which they canvass the de t - s ii „f . a co nstitution to which the President has g iven the invio lable seal of his oath, and that in mercy to the rising generatio n he will be p ersuaded, by the prayers be has dictated himself, to suffer the gentle v iolence of converting the ownership of Fran ce and Frenchmen from a term of years into a fee -simple. Such is the language held, such are the sentiments expressed, in the country of Miraheau and Lafayette. Happily it is not iu the power of the Frenc h nation to confer on the existing s t a t e of thinr, the stability which is asked. Were we believe that there is servility So mortgage or alienate the ri g hts o it possible O. posterity enough in the country to assig n and baseness them over in the most solemn and binding manner. . But, happily for the destiny of ma n ki n d , the rig ht reverts, the instrument is cancelled, an d human nature re-enters into possession of the dignity which it was sought to forestall and destroy ; the p oss essor of land may alienate the patri mony of his heirs, but a nation can only squander the patrimony of the present. Bow often those r i g h ts have been surren d e red and re conquered b y F rance history can tell, and we are much mistak en if t h e prayer a nd hope of every honest father of a famil is not that his c hildren may escape the snares with which his own pa th has been strewn, and that, f ree a lik e f ro m unbridled l icense and tine ma y go forward in the path bounded despoti s m, they y of moderate progress, not holding their lives, their liberty, and their property a s the free gift of an lsso lute tyrant, but gua ranteed by national spirit and enlightened public opinion. pro t e cted by equal law, and DOVEL—It has become a common remark, that in no season has Dover experienced so large and continued successions of visitors as during the one of 1852—visitors of a day or two—embracing the facilities for travel, both on sea and land, to stir abroad from busy inland scenes, and sip the salubrious air of our south-eastern coast, to catch a glimpse of the land of Frenchman, and retire home to wonder at the variety and distance of objects brought by swim within the scope of a day's holiday.

Being enrolled UNDER THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' ACTS, the sum assured can be secured to the WIDOW, WIDOWER, Or CHILDREN without payment of PROBATE and LEGACY DUTY, or the risk of loss by unfortunate circumstances, or the reverses of trade. 2.

C " The sge of Chivalry is gon' , and that of Economists and Caiculators has succeeded." The glory of the age ot chivalry con sisted in the attire ot the knight being suitable for his sporting or military avocations ; the age ot chive , y is therefore restored by the designs in costume, introduced and perfected by E. MOSES and SON. htylish fit, comfort in wear, novelty in materials, and splen deur in finish are some of the features of E. MOSES and SON'S Sporting Dress. As Economists, they have reduced the price to the most reasonable scale, and as Calculators, have attained the most desirable elevation from which they supply magnificent Dress to Ladies, Gentlemen, or Mechanics. Coats, light and waterproof, gems of modern art, useful but not cumbersome, agreeable wear in shower or sunshine, these Coats are enclosed in a neat case, or may be put into the pocket of an ordinary Dress Coat ; these are introductory to hundreds of new styles to be presented by E. MOSES and SON for Autumn WHO SHOULD EMIGRATE, AND WHO SHOULD OUTFIT? The capitalist, the industrious, the agriculturalist, the mechanic, in fact every man who deserves to participate in wealth and possess property, but labour must premed enjoyment, the journey must go before the possession, and such articles as are needed for both are called an Outfit. E. MOSES and SON name a few of their qualifi cations, and let the Emigrant judge "who should Outfit." They have an immense wholesale department, where capitalists may make the most eligible investments, and where Goods suitable for Australia, or any other country may be procured at such prices as will afford the amplest profit on every purchase. From this de partment families emigrating will derive the highest advantages. They keep a stock ot Hosiery, Boots, and shoes, &c., for the " Diggings," and Dress of every description expressly prepared with the most accurate acquaintance with any voyage or climate, on this the Emigrant may implicitly depend. Many years experience in Outfitting on the lirgest scale has put them in possession of an exclusive power in procuring, manat ee _ facturing, and arranging Outfits, to which they appropriate a sepa rate department in their gigantic establishment, where every Emi grant at once sees the purp oses the y are intending to serve.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities de and excesses, wh M ich have produced more misery in Youth, gradation in an hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in . detail.

Sutton, Royal Exchange. This Company is established to introduce Railways into Upper India. The First Section, abOut 130 miles in length, commencing at Allahabad, at the confluence of the Ganges and Jamna, will terminate at Cawnpore. The future Sections will carry on the Line to Agra, Delhi, Lahore, and the Indus. Allahabad is an ancient and Rdpulous city, of great fame and im portance in the East. Crowds of Pilgrims resort to its sacred shrines and temples—it is thd entrepOt frit the traffic by the Steamers and the larger Country Craft—and is one' of the principal Civil and Military Stations. Cawnpoi* is the largest Military Station in India. There is, both by Steamere.ani Country Craft, a continuous per ma.nent water communication between Calcutta and Allahabad. The yearly tonnage of the Lower Ganges is 1,500,060, by the Country Craft alone. The number of Passengers is also very great. Deep water ceases at Allahabad, and, consequently, it is at this important city that the real difficulty and expense of transit begin. The sand banks of the Upper Ganges, and the sharp ledges of rock of the Jumna, rc ndering the navigation by even the smaller Country Craft slow and precarious. The insurance of merchandise and property from Agra to Allaha bad by the river route, in consequence of the danger and dint:Lilly of the navigation, is as high as from Calcutta to England, the distance in the one case being 300, in the latter 15,000 miles. Above Allahabad, notwithstanding the detective river navigation, and the - rude and expensive laud carriage, which costs from 4d. to Bd, per ton per mile, moving at the slow rate of ten miles in twenty four ~ours, there is an officially ascertained traffic of above 1;000,000 tons, and a land passenger traffic by various conveyances exceeding 100,000 per annum, besides passengers by boats, and about 300,000 travellers on foot. Having a great and navigaVe river connecting Calcutta and Alla habad, a Railroad would, by beginning at the latter city, and pro ceeding by Agra and Delhi to Lahore, establish a steam communica. ton from Calcutta through the fertile and populous Dooab in the North-West Provinces, " oecupying the great line of Indian traffic with Central and Upper As.a." This is the great line of Military as well as Commercial intercourse, more than three-fourths of the Bengal Army being cantoned above Allahabad, and almost all emer gent movements of troops and stores taking place to the north-west, or in advance of that town. One of the Directors of this Company, so fax back as 1846, in a work of his on Indian Railways,* stated that he had seen " no large portion of territory present the like facilities for the introduction of a Railway, as from Allahabad to Delhi." " This line would have no rival, for the river Steamers, instead of competing with it, would form a powerful basis, and keep up a con tinuous communication between the Railway and Calcutta, and our great Military Stations and Magazines at Allahabad, Cawn pore, Agra, and Delhi, would all be in close communication with each other, and, by means of the steamers, have a free and rapid access to Calcutta." Subsequently, the Indian Railway Commission confirmed, from actual survey, the accuracy of this opinion ; and still more recently, Major J. P. Kennedy, late Director of the Railway Department to the Government of India, in his report to the Marquis of Dalhousie, Governor-General, expressed himself as follows :—" Between Alla habad and Delhi there is no engineering question of difficulty what ever, as the beautiful fiat bed (extending ter several hundred miles in the direction of the Line, in the Dooab between the rivers Ganges and Jumna), with its numerous commercial towns, offers, perhaps, the most singularly inviting district for laying down a railway that can be found in the world; free as it is from inundation, from hills, from river-crossings, and road-crossings, in short, from any impedi ment, and almost every ordinary source of expenditure in railway construction." Slight as the whole amount of labour is that would be required to carry a single line of railroad from Allahabad to Lahore and the Indus, it is the intention of this Company to proceed in a gra dual manner, opening short sections, having an important town at either terminus. The route consists of component parts, each complete in itself, pos sessing a local as well as a thorough traffic. The present capital of the Company has been fixed at a sum which will leave a sufficient margin for future contingencies, and the capi tal for future sections will be rained from time to time as may be necessary. From the paramount importance of this Railway to the good government and prosperity of India, the Directors have every hope of obtaining from the Hon. East India Company the same terms and conditions as have been already accorded to similar undertakings, the existing traffic securing a return on the capital invested far be yond tile amount of any guarantee that could be required. The Directors are hereby empowered to treat for and make such arrangements with the Court of Directors and the Board of Control as to them may seem beneficial to the Company, as well for securin g a guaranteed dividend from the East India Company, as in regard to territorial concessions. The Deposit to be paid on the allotment of Shares will be Two Shillings per Share, being after the rate of Ten Shillings per cent., the amount prescribed by the Act 7 and 8 Yid., c. 110. . _ _ A Deed embodying the Provisions required by that Act, and such as the Directors may consider proper for the regulation of the Com pany, and for carrying out the objects in view, will be prepared ; and if any Shareholder should fail to execute the same for One Month after the publication of a notice in the " Times" newspaper, calling on the Proprietors so to do, his Shares, with the Deposits paid thereon, will become forfeited to the use of the Compnny. Application will be mace for a Charter of Incorporation or an Act of Parliament, limiting the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their Subscriptions. Applications for Pro pectuses and Shares may be made to the Brokers of the Company, Messrs. It. and J. Sutton, Stockbrokers, Royal Exchange, in the form annexed, on or before the 16th ins . * "Indian Hallways." By an Old Indian Postmaster. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

The vast tide of emigration which has recently flowed from Eng land and Scotland into the Australian colonies, composed of indi viduals possessing i n the aggregate a large a mount o f ca pital ; the recent discoveries of their great mineral wealth, and the increase of their agricultural and commercial resources, render the extension of sound Banking Establishments, wider cautious management, a sub ject of the greatest importance to ffieftiture welfare of those valuable and rising colonies. The English, Scottish, and Jarman Chartered Bank has been formed for the purpose of establishing banks of sand deposit in the principal towns of Australia; for conducting exchange opera tions ; for making advances upon bullion, gold dust, and other un doubted. securities ; for granting letters of credit upon the diff e r e nt establishments of the company, and for the transaction of all other usual banking business in the colonies. The Directors have the satisfaction of announ c i ng that they h a ve secured the es-operation of several influen tial parties in Scotland, with a view to place the business of the company upon an extended basis. It is intended that the management of the comp any ' s affairs shall be vested in a London Board, and. that the Branch Establishments in h qualified managers, byproperly of a Colonial Inspector will assisted e colonies b y Local shallß Boards. . s. conductedhe selection receive the most 'careful attention of the Directors. The Intercourse between Great Britain and Australia has now be come certain and regular, by the establishment of direct steam com munication with that country, and the Directors in London will thus be enabled to exercise an efficient control over the local managers of the branches to be established in Australia. The high ra:e of interest obtainable in Australia for advances on good security, promises a profitable employment for the capital of the Company whilst the impulse given to commercial undertakings by the recent gold discoveries, will secure an ample return upon the various branches of business to be carried on by the Company at its Local Establishments. • The great field open for this Company's operations may be under stood from the fact, that there are only two establishments in England at present employed in conducting banking affairs with the important colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, and these are eminently successful, and are realising large profits for the share holders. It appears from the last printed half-yearly report of the Bank of ' New South Wales, dated 21st April, 1852, that the following results have been realised by that well-conducted establishment. Ihe Directors state that the profit and loss account will enable them to declare, not only the usual dividend, at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, but an extra dividend, at the rats of 10 per cent. for the half year, to be applied in aid of the extension of the capital. In addition to the above the Directors state that they have set apart 5,0001. to defray the cost of freight and insurance on the ship ment of coin from England; that they have Passel 2,4951. 14s. sd. to the augmentation of the reserved fund; and have carried the whole of the present office furniture account, and the balance of pre liminary expenses to profit and loss aceount ; and, after all these ap propriations, it appears from the report that the sum of 1,7381.75. 7d. remained to be carried forward to a new account for equalising fu ture dividends. The Directors allude to the unparalleled ci rcumstances in which the Branch Bank, at Melbourne, has been placed by the gold dis coveries in the sister colony, and they recommend the creation of 2,500 new shares, of 201. each, for the increase of their capital. They add that their stock of coin (notwithstanding the great extension of their exchange business, involving a consider.-.ble accumulation of funds in England), amounted to the large sum of 230,470/. 12s. 6d., being more than one-fourth of the whole amount held in the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria. The Directors state in the report that having in view the great change in their financial affairs then in pro ress, and the duty it appeared to impose upon them of bring ing all the resources of the Bank within their immediate control, they had ordered the shipment to Sydney of upwa r d s of a quarter of a million staling from this country. Application has been made for a Royal Charter of Incorporation to limit the liability of the Shareholders in the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank, and the operations of the Company will be commenced immediately on the charter being obtained. If the charter he not granted, the deposits will be returned to the sub scrihers in full. Power will be taken by the deed of settlement to be executed in compliance with the terms of the charter to increase the capital of the Company to 1,000.0001. ; and, it the capital he increased, the new shares to b created will be offered, in the first instance, to the existing Shareholders, and to such Influential parties in the colonies as may be likely to extend the business of the Bank. It is considered that the deposit of 41 per share will enable the Directors to cofnmence operations in an efficient manner, and on a scale commensurate with the importance of the undertaking. An interval of at least three months will intervene between all future calls, none of which, it is expected, will exceed 21. per share. Application for Shares may be made, in the form annexed, to the Secretary (pro tern.), at No. 4, Adam's-court, Old Broad-street, London; to Messrs. Joshua Hutchinson and Son, 39, Lothbury ; to Messrs. Sheppard and Sons, No. 28, Threadqeedle-strect, Louden;_ or to Messrs.

OE .j NI the LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. The coroner's inquest concerning the frightful acci- Jent on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, terminated late on Saturday night, at which time the cause of the calamity remained as great a mys tery as at the commencement of the inquiry. The lead ing facts may be briefly recapitulated. Last Wednesday ~.e en ing the Great Northern passenger train which leaves Sheffield at 9.10 P.M. ran off the line, at a place which is three-quarters of a mile short of Woodhouse junction, and better than four miles from Sheffield. The line curves at that point, and is upon a steep embankment upwards of thirty feet high. When running at about thirty miles an hour the train suddenly ran off the rails, and the engine, rushing across the down rails, sped vio lently down the embankment on the opposite aide. The rest of the train (two passenger carriages, two goods vans, and a break) fell down the other embankment with a fearful crash. The passengers escaped unhurt, but the guard (Charles Tuckwood) was killed on the spot, and the engine-driver (Samuel Wright) died on the following day, after suffering the most frightful torture, his legs having been almost roasted off by the engine fire, the engine having fallen upon him. The coroner's inquest was opened on Friday, and was of more than ordinary interest, inasmuch as the cause of the accident was altogether unaccounted for. It was reported that the line was out of gusge, but the evi dence given below sets that question at rest. The m os t important witness was William Leah, the stoker, who said that all went on right till he observed some sparks from the hindermost wheel on the right-hand side of the engine. The next moment the train was off the line. The road, he said, was very bad to travel over between Sheffield and Retford, so bad that it made the engine shake about terribly. The other evidence taken on Friday did nut bear upon the cause of the accident. On Saturday the accident was resumed. Thomas Spriggs, a man who assisted after the acci dent, proved that the deceased engine driver told him he was quite unable to account for the accident. Alfred Wheeler and Mark Briggs, two miners who live on the margin of the line, concurred in stating that the train in question travelled on the night of the acci dent much faster than they had ever seen it. The next point of the inquiry was as to the state of the line and the engine before the accident. Edward Kemp, a Great Northern guard, accustomed to travel on this portion of the line, said he did not consider the line between Sheffield•and Retford (a por tion of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire live) in good order : at all events not so good as the Great Northern line. The trains were 'accustomed to shake. A few hours before the accident, when accom panying the up-express train, his van sho k, and on looking out of the window he saw that the inner rail was crooked. On being asked by the coroner why he did not report the circuenstance, he said it did not strike him as sufficiently important. Mr. G. Tuckwood, brother of the deceased, repeated the ataannent which he made on Friday, t the effect that he had heard Kemp ascribe the accident to the line being out of gauge. Richard ilesketh, an engine -driver, in the employ of the Manchester, Stit'ffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, stated that he drove over the line two hours before the accident, and did not notice anything amiss with the rails or anything else. John Lytle, a plate-layer, said he examined that part of the line in question twice on Wednesday (the day of the accident), as usual, and found it iu good running order. Mr. G. Banick, superintendent of the permanent way, saw on Tuekday that at that particular place the line was all right. After the accident he found that eighty yards of the up-rails had been torn up, and thirty yards of the down line. Mr. Richard Peacock, locomotive superintendent on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, atter stating that be made an inspection in order to find out the cause of the accident, said—There is nothing in the evidence I have heard and the examination I have made, to induce me to suppose that the accident was caused by any improper condition of the line. If the rails had been bent, as stated by Kemp, it would not have caused the engine to run off the line; but I have no reason to suppose that the engine did run off from any defect in the road. From the appearance of the engine , wheels, I think the hind pair of wheels got off the line first, but I don't know the cause. I think the axle of the tradiug-wheels of the engine (the hindermost wheels) was strained slightly, and that that caused the accident. The sparks spoken of by Leah might have been caused by the springing of th e f rame o f th e eng in e i n passing round the curve, and thus bringing the wheels in con tact with a bolt bead, which he perceived projecting from the side of the tank of the engine. It is not dan gerous to travel along that curve at thirty cr forty miles an hour. Mr. Sturrook, locomotive engineer of the Great Nor thern, said—l cannot satisfy myself as to the cause of the accident; but I very much agree with Mr. Peacock, as far as I can form an opinion. After some unimportant evidence, Tne CORONER summed up, and the jury consulted with clotf.d doors about twenty minutes. The Foreman then delivered the following verdict:— " We are unanim,aply of opinion that the &ceased, Sa muel Wright and Charles Tuckwood, hove come by their d• stilts in consequsnos of No. 12 Great Northern train, with engine No. 29, running off the rails near Woodhouse Junction, on the night of the Bth inst.; but as to what caused the train to run off the rails no satis factory evidence has bi.en given to the jury." The inquest ended about tight o'clock P.M. [PRICE SD. THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE. IToe work of reconstructing the Great Exhibition 1 building at Sydenham is now being pushed forward 1 with great vigour, and that spectacle of well-ape plied labour which in Hyde park excited such un quslifl,d admiration is about to be successfully rep ,, , _ .ate. Already the r i te h as b een cleare d , t h e d foundations to a great e-xtent prepared, a vast mass of materials colleted on the ground, end even the plan of the sari , u,idizat gardens mod their Nobel li h me nts rcughly s'ru k out. Great li6 was the speed with which the chi huihiirq was relreri, there is every reason to believe that in this re spec t L i m new will rival, if it ti ,, ps not eclip-f- i , . Th e cred i t of OA. urvioti for punc udity no lw , g , :qr af!ts as a et i. .- muftis on the contracfors, hut they Aid, no doubt, sho w tharnsehres men of &eq. 'wort, and they have not only the experience of the plrflriolle undertaking to aid them, but they work to a great extt or with the same hands, the same m*Nrials - , and t:,f , same proportions. Tne very hell that summoned the labo urers t o th e ir work—the crane that ' lifted th e heavi-r mail g ,, , and the hydraulic press that rested th e g i r d ers i n H y d e -park, are again at their form er uses . Huge p i les o f mater i a l s , arranged so as t o b e moat available, are stacked in order alooK the ,gro un d. There are long w columns, rev i v i ng, by the paint upon them, recolh,c tions of Ow en J ones ' s colouring. The doors through which so vast a tid e of humanity swept last summer are deposited in a heap one above h fresh service. O ne sees mountains of'Ega:oars, window-framee s panelli ng , P axton gutters, railings, bracings, girders, and oth er materials, all bearing the other, of reedy pros l" for t e about them the traces of their l ate use, and apparently little deteriorated in conditi on thereby. glass, There is also an immense accumulation of gla stowed away in a shed erected for the purpose, and the percentage of that brittle material destroyed in the transfer from Hyde-park is said to be remarkably small. In laying the foundations the permanent character of the new structure is shown by th e iucreased Size of them, but the old proportions and the rule of having everything a multiple of 24 are preserved. It is this principle which renders the details of construction in such undertakings so simple and economical, and which now, fully recog nized as it is, promises to yield the grandest results to the science of architecture. While the actual site of the palace has thus been cleared and prepared for the superstructure, and while vast accumulations of materials have been made, the working drawings have also been completed, or nearly so, and a few days more will show the whole design growing to reality, with a speed and certainty which the mechanical re sources of this country alone render prat icable. It is a gratifying feature of the new undertaking that the more immediate direction of the work is confided to Mr. Henderson, whose ill health was so severely felt by the firm of which he is a member during the struggle to be ready for the opening of the Exhibi tion. Mr. Henderson's great energy and practical skill admirably qualify him for the task on which he has entered, and he has in Mr. Cochrane, who occupied the same position in Hyde-park, a most effective foreman. Of the building which they are about to raise, the main features are sufficiently well known to justify a natural anxiety in the public mind for its successful compietion. There cannot be a doubt that the new Crystal Palace will be a far more splendid edifice than the old, though the wonder which the novelty of the latter inspired may somewhat blunt our appreciation. The site is magnificent, and commands a glorious pro spect, in which London, wiih her far extending suburbs and her population of 2,000,000, forms but a section of the view. Looking south-east even now, the eye is carried over a smiling and variegated land scape without obstructien, as tar as its powers can reach; but no concep ion can at present be formed of the circuit visible from an additional elevation of 200 feet, and embracing within its ample verge, not only the panorama of the metropolis, and the course of our greatest river to the sea, but the Surrey hills, abound ing in natural beauty, and the rich lands of Kent, the garden of England. Then it must be remembered that the Palace itself will be not the least remark able feature of the scene, shining on its elevated site, and made resplendent by having the sky as its background, Crowning the ridge, it will be conspicuous for many a mile, its towers, arched transepts, and nave, finely breaking up and diver sirying its enormous dimensions. The monotonous effect ot the old building will be completely re moved, and it will rise into the air a noble temple, dedicated to the innocent recreation of the people. The grounds of Penge-park, which it immediately overlooks, are nicely undulated, and the frontage, which has a south-eastern exposure from the way in which the land drops, will be elevated and command ing. An open colonnade on this side will run along the whole length of the !structure, and the arches of the three transepts, recessed to a depth of 24 feet, will, horn their great height and the effect ot shadow. he singularly imposing. That in the centre will be 200 feet high, and it has just been proposed by Mr. Barry to surmount the whole with three vast domes, the loftiest rising 400 feet from the base. The work of decoration has been commenced externally, the main avenue, the spaces for some of the fountains, and the line of terraces being roughly indicated. The genius of Paxton will soon bring this part of the undertaking into shape and consistency. Penge park is remarkably well adapted for the operations contemplated, and there are some fine specimens of timber already on the ground, which will no doubt be turned to good and telling account. Among the more striking features of this portion of the works is a lofty tower with a tank at the top 50 feet square, which it is proposed to construct for the supply of the fountains, and which is to be so ar ranged that it can itself be converted into an immense cascade. Of the internal decorations and other points comprised in the company's scheme it would be pre mature yet to say much, for, though the plans con nected with them have been so far matured, they will probably undergo extensive m odifications, as circum stances may dictate. Each department has been en trusted to the ablest men that could be found to take charge of it, and they are all now busily ergeged in forming their several collections. Owen Jones and Digby Wyatt are scouring the continent for the materials of artistic embellishment and decoration ; Professor Ansted is getting together a great series of geological illustrations ; the section of natural history is intrusted to the joint care of Professor Edward Forbes, Mr. Waterhouse, and Mr. G ou ld , assisted by Mr. Thompson , o f King's College. D r.

To have that patronage the charge for adroirsi.in must be easily within the means of those classes. Now, it the preliminary outlay is not very carefully guarded, this will be impossible. The hum bler classes paid their shillings to see the Ex hibition, but that was once in a way, ar'd because the glories of the spectacle were fleeting. The bare knowledge that a sight can be seen at any time tends greatly to disarm curiosity ; and the strict commercial character of the new undert a ki ng dissolves a considerable amount of that popula r ey in . pathy which was felt for a common efforts in ' -wh • ich all made sacrifices to do homage to the dignity of labour. The Great Exhibition was self-supp ort i ng' but it was also, while it lasted , a great freewill offer ing. Some were paid, and rightly so, for what they did ; but the majority contributed their time, their skill, and their property gratuitously. Had it taken place under the Mundy contract one may fairly question whether the success achieved would have been nearly so brilliant, and, even as matters stand, with the great body of the work done byvolun tary effort, and the whole world agog about the splen dour of the spectacle, the surplus is only 150,000 1 .

On Wednesday last, at Wolverhampton, a partial meeting of the trade took place, consisting of those gen tlemen who were interested in the dispute between the refractory portion of peddlers and their employers, and such others who were accidentally present at the time. It appears that a willingness haneen expressed by the puddlers to return to their work, if themasters would fix upon any limited period at which they would promise to advance the wages; while, on the other hand, the sup plying of those works with puddle-bars where the men were standing, from others where they continued to work, was found excessively inconvenient to both. A resolution was, therefore, passed, declaring a general advance of 208. per ton on all finished iron, with a pro portionable per-tentage upon the wages of the workmen engaged in its manufacture, to take place from the Ist of October next; and it is hoped that these misguided men will now return quietly to their work. Their con duct has been highly censurable, not only as having in flicted wanton injury upon their respective employers, but seriously affecting the general interests of the trade by diverting orders to other districts. This resolution will, doubtless, be confirmed at the general meeting of the trade to be held on the 30th instant, although we are well aware that great anxiety is ft.lt by some, whose opinions are worthy of much consideration, es t o the Ellett that may result. Thera are, howiNer, others suf ficieutly sanguine to look forward to such a revival es will call for still further advances, and certainly a very considerable speculative demand seems to be already opening up, and business has been freely transacted at the advanced rates.—Birmingham Gazette. THE LASTING TlE.—Dean S'orr, when residing on a living in the country, had occasion one day to u nite a rustic couple in the binds of matrimony. The ceremony being over, the husband began to " sink in resolution," and failing (as som husband miht do), into a fit of r epentance, he said, " Your e reverence s has g tied the k no t tightly, I fancy, butt under favour, may I ask your reverence if so be you could untie it again ?" " Wby,,no," replied the Dean, "we never do that on this part or the co n , s , e o cr n atld at g r ro , nd." Where then?" cried the man, eagerly' point ing to the burying ground. A wild girl, says the Cincinnati Commercial, was captured last week in the woods back of Columbia. She was first observed climbing trees with a rapidity on ly equalled by a monkey. Captain WCullough, with a large Party, went out to capture this singular being, an d after great trouble succeeded in doing so, when they learned from her incoherent expressions that she had been a lunatic in the asylum at Columbus, whence she escaped some months since, and had lived in the woods , subsisting upon nuts and root.: ) \l 3 DA, `'uIIGRANTS.—The following GUTTA AteEit c ..
