I have been instrum enta l in dispelling that illusion...— ( a L m ou h d ap c p h y ee t r o think, s.)an gentlemen, that, t o s ome degree, I unfortunate adventurer, as I was to consider myself—(A.l aug h )— honoured with the commis sion from her Majesty to do the b es t th a t he could for open a new mi ne — (Cheere)—and I am happy to say that in the opinion of competent judges, so far as it has her service —(Hear, h ear)—l have ventured boldly to yet been worked, th e ore that has been raised contains among it as large a p roportion of sterling metal, with as little admixture of d ross, as any that was ever drawn from the old and ex c l us i ve mines to which we were for merly confined.—(L oud cheers.) Gentlemen, to speak seriously, the Pri me Warden has told you that he is convinced—and h e h as done us justice in saying so— that we come forward, not it the advocates or supporters of any particular interest, but feeling deeply our respon sibility to maintain and uphold all the great interests, of which it must be said that, if any one suffers in this country, it cannot suffer without affecting m ore or less the rest.—(Hear.) W e feel that - it is our duty not to be the promoters of this or that class, but to be the protectors and defenders and upholders of the whole—(Cheers) —and by maintaining and encouraging the industry of the country —by upholdingand su pporting those laws which are the best encouragement to that industry, because they secure to industry of ev ery denomination the safe return for its successful exertion—( Elear)—by upholding in their integrity the institutions of the county whether inviolate w h et her in Church or in State—(Chee rs ) —by mainta in the Constitution, and uph o ldi ng the religious liberties of, this country, and the rights of the Protestant rel i g i on from whatever quarter they may be assailed—(Loud cheering)—by such a cou rse, neither at home nor abroad assaulting any—(Hear, hear)-sablteelither at home nor abroad tolerating assault or insult on the part of any—(Renewedcheering)—we feel sure that we shall best disonarge those arduous duties which are cast upon us — (Cheers) —that we shall best warrant the confidence that has been reposed in us by our gracious Sovereign— (Cheers) —and best merit the support and confidence of that people over whose interests we are about to watch. —(,Much cheering.) And, gen t l emen, whether our course be long or short, to recur aettin, for a single mo ment, to the metaphor that has been used,—whether our eourse be long or short, it is our hop e and trust, and will 9 when our career shall s r e y eu e r h e that , when no right to regret having subjected us to this our first a ssay. ( T he N oble Lord sat down amid loud cheering fro m a ll parts of the be ee closed, olir l e b oi i o n t hall.) The PRIME WARDEN then gave " Th e M arqu i s o f t Salisbury and the House of Peers." The Marqnis of SALISBURY acknowledghd the toast, and said it must always be a great satisfaction to the House of Peers if they could feel that they deserved the goodwill and esteem of their fellow -subjects.—(Cheers.) The PRIME WARDEN next gave " The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the House of Commons." —(Cheers.) He was well assured when he rose to give that toast that it would be received with great satisfaction, but whether the topic to w • hich he was about to advert for a moment would have the same good tortune was another matter. He was satisfied that the Right Honourable Gentleman had talents adequate to the great and impor tant duties of his position, and it would be for him to consider whether he might not shortly be in a situation to do great service to the country in consequence of the mosey.—(Cheers.) The observations superabundance of of the Noble Earl with reference to the discovery of the precious metal would suggest to the company what would prupably form the most prominent feature of the budget.— (Hear and laughter.) Whether the topic was palatable or not to those who heard him be (the Prima Warden) did not know, but at all events the subject was worthy of the Right Hon. Gentleman's serious consideration ; a 1 fair field was opened before him.—(Laughter, and some cries of " Hear.") The company would have much pleasure in drinking prosperity to him,—(Cheers.) They had no deubt he would bring his great mind to bear upon the finances of the country, and reduce taxa tion to the lowest possible point, and then he would cer tainly be one of the most popular Chancellors of the Exchequer. —(Laughter and cheers.) The toast was drunk with much applause. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who was ex tremely well received, said,—Mr. Prime Warden and gentlemen, I feel the treat advantage of a Fin ance Mi nister dining w ith t h e G o ld sm iths' Company before an impending budget--(A laugh)—but I am sure you will agree with me that in my position discretion is the bet ter part of valour—(Laughter and cheers)—and that you will not insist to-night upon any revelations with regard to that important subject which I am not surprised at this moment to find engaging all your attention.—(Hear.) You will therefore allow me at the present moment only to return thanks for the Members of the House of Com mons, whom you have been so kind to-night as to re member.—(Hear.) The House of Commons is often the scene of contention, and always that of constant emula tion; but there is one point on which I can assure you that gentlemen iu the House of Commons on both sides are aereed, and that is in their feeling of the honour and gratification of dining with the ancient and worthy cor poration of Gold sesiths.—(Laughter and cheers.) To dine with the Goldsmiths, gentlemen, I assure you, is not a party question.—(Renewed laughter and cheers.) But, believe me, that feeling exists, not merely from their sense of the graceful hospitality which within these beautiful walls they are sure to experience; it is also because in corporations of this kind, founded upon wealth, they also recognise the best embodiments of public liberty—(Hear, hear)—because in confedera tions like the present they observe two characteristics. which they hope will long remain those of the Eng lish nation, as they feel that they are two of the beat securities for human happiness—property and freedom.—(Loud cheers.) It is with these feelings, gentlemen, because, I assure you, the Members of the House of Com mons look to these great compa nies in the metropolis of the country, and feel that at moments of emergen c y, when public liberty is at stake, and the fortunes of a great empire are in peril, they can appeal with security to the patriotism, the courage, and the high feelings of bodies of independent men—(Hear, hear)—it is from these convictions that they have felt it always one of the first duties to uphold corporations and bodies of men like the Goldsmith. and other great com panies in the city of Lo ndon—(Flear, hear)—it is from these public feelings, as well as from the sympathy that at all times makes them enjoy the festive hour which calls them within these walls—(tlear, hear)—that they look forward to meetings like the present with pleasure and satistaction.—(Hear.) U pon their part, gentlemen, I hope you will allow me to express how deeply they feel the honour of being remembered at moments like the present, and to assure you—which I can do with great sincerity—that if ever the period arrives when the rights and liberties of great bodies like this compony aro in vaded, you will be sure to find in the House of Commons champions who know how to esteem freedom, and who are determined to uphold that which is right.—(Cheers.) The next toast, " The Judges," was acknowledged by Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, the Lord Chief Baron having left before this period of the evening. There followed, " The Health of the Wardens, and success to the Goldsmiths' Company," proposed by thet Duke of isti NORTHUM BERLAND ; and then, " The eh of a dguished member of the company— Earl Do Grey. The next toast was, " The Bar ;" in proposing which the PRIME WARDEN acknowledged the obligation of our gr eat corporations to the independence of the bar, when the screw" was in former times attempted to be put on those corporations. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, after observing that he owed his position at the head of the bar to the con fihee of miths'de G nc theComebl Earl whom, with hi s co ll eagues , p an y told h as welcomed that even ing among them, proceeded to say that ho congra tulated himself upon being a member of a Govern ment resolved to preserve unimpaired the valuable in stitutions of the country.—ne in y'—(Hear, hear.) This was to be effected, not, as se w , mistakedly supposed, by a servile and stru t, regard to the forms of in stitutions as the primary object, without reference to all that was substantial and essential, but, without disturb ing foundations, by moulding and accommodating that which they supported to of the growing demand s an d exi gencies the times. This the true spirit of hear)--far Con servative reform (Hear, removed on the one hand from that bigoted and technical adherence to forms which was sometimes supposed to belong to thosewho held Conservative opinions, and on th e other much fur ther removed from the wild and rash aspirations of those ardent and sweeping reformers, who, like the savages, desired to cut down the tree in Nothingorder that they might ) enjoy the fruit.—(Hear, bearo.ur had Contributed so mach to the stability ofthe institutions and the at tachment of the people to . .Constitution as their firm belief in the pure and impartial _.administration of justice —(Hear, hear)—and there d ha been periods —one had, been alluded to—in w h ic h the bar had honourably . con tributed to that result. — ( ..

Mr. Alderman COPELAND, M P., the Prime Warden, received the guests in the drawing-room —a very hand -1 some apartment, roost luxuriously fitted up and fur nished. About 7 o'clock the whole party, above 100 in number, proceeded into the Livery-hall, where a sump tuous banquet was served, provided by Messrs. Ring and Brymer. The upper end of the spacious and stately hall glittered with a brilliant array of plate, some of it an cient and curiously wrought; it included, of course, the cup (by Cmlmi) presented by Queen Elizabeth to Sir Martin Bowes, Lord Mayor, who delivered it to his guild —the Goldsmiths. The Priam Warden presided. Among his guests were, the Earl of Derby, the. Duke of Northumberland, Viscount Hardiege, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Bishop of London, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Marquis of Downshire, the E trl of Hard wicke, Earl de Grey, the Earl of Wilton, the E trl of Ye rulam, Viscount Newpsrt, M.P., Sir.

The band of the Coldstream Guards, stationed in an ante-room, performed a variety of popular music at in tervals during the evening. The arrengements were. most excellent in every de partment. When the cloth hal been cleared, The PRIME WARDEN said he had to ask the company to rise to a toast ehich was always received and drank with great affection by his brother Goldsmiths. It was that of " Church and Queen." The toast was drunk amid much cheering. The Na tional Anthem was then played. The next toast was also much cheered—" The Health of Prince Albert, our brother Liveryman, Albert, Prince ot Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." The PRIME WARDEN then proposed " The Health of the Bishop of the Diocese," and briefly referred to his exertions in providing churches and schools in its most destitute districts. The toast was drunk with much applause. Tne Bishop of LONDON, in acknowledging the honour rendered to him, said it was always gratifying to him to come into the city of London, with which he had so long-been connected, but especially when it was to pay his respects to that ancient and worshipful company— (Cries of " Hear, hear")—not only because it was agree able to enjoy their splendid and judicious hospitality, but because he was glad of an opportunity of paying the tribute of his thankfulness to a company who were not religiont g forwardio connexion every scheme witht i sh for gr the ea t advancement only forward in promoting the cause of c h ar i t y i n general, but of true inset in metropolis, the spirtual destitution of which had awak ened the sympathy of every real Christian, and of none more than the ancient Company of Goldsmiths.—(Hear.) The PRIME WARDEN gave as the next toast " the Navy and the Army." The citizens of London knew full well the advantages of peace, and knew to whose prowess they owed it, and to whose bravery they might trust if by any mischance there should again be a call into action.—(Cheers.) He had the good fortune to see among the guests the First Lord of the Admiralty, and he4believed it was the first time for fifty years that we had had a practical naval man at the head of that de partment—(Loud cries of" Hear")—the country viewed that appointment with satisfaction, and our gallant and brave sailors were delighted at it.—(Cheers.) With regard to the other service, he had the pleasure of see ing present a Noble Lord who had done much for us in our great and important empire in India—(Hear, hear) —and to whose ability and gallantry, with the exertions of the troops under his command, was owing very much the peace which India enjoyed.—(Cheers.) The citizens of London felt that a long peace involved a deep debt of gratitude.—<llear, hear.) The Duke Of NORTHUMBERLAND was proud to 80.. knowledee the honour which the navy had received from that ancient corporation, distinguished for loyalty to the Crown and attachment to the institutions of the country. —(Hear.) The Prime Warden had justly observed, that we ought to be grateful for a long peace. There were no persons in ttehi country more anxious for the preservation of peace than her Majesty's navy.—(Hear, hear.) But, should.this country ever be fmrced into a war, the navy would always be ready to do its duty and to uphold the honour of the country.—(Cheers.) Viscount HARDINGE was glad that his Noble Friend had first been called on to address the company on the part of the navy, because it must always be felt, with regard to that noble profession, that it was to it that this country owed, in the greatest measure, its power, its in dependence, and its griatneas.—(Hear, hear.) In re turning thanks on behalf of the army, he would only say that they were devoted in loyalty to her Majesty, and ready on all occasions to uphold her rights and preroga tives, and at the same time they would never be forget ful of the subordination due to the civil authorities of the country and the I tws of the land.—(Hear, hear.) He had to thank the Prime Warden for the honour done him (Lord Hardinge) in noticing his humble services; and be could safely say that whenever the occasion should arise whether in war or peace, in opposing any enemy who might attempt to land on our shores, or in other service that might be demanded, the army would always be ready to do their duty.—(Cheers.) The PRIME WARDEN anounced that he had next to propose " The health of a brother Goldsmith, the Earl of Derby "—(Great cheering.) The company greeted his Lordship, not only as a Goldsmith, but as Prime Minister of Eugland.—(Cheers.) The present was not the occasion for expatiating upon, political topics, and there might be shades of difference of opinion among the guests; but this he would say, and he spoke as one who had watched his Lordship's career for nearly 21 years, that he believed in his conscience that the Noble Earl in taking office was solely actuated by a desire to pro mote the welfare of his country—(Hear, hear)—not by a wish to oppose a particular set of men, but by a desire for the good of this great empire,---(Cheers.) His cha racter, and that of his colleagues, were guarantees that under his guidance the measures which would be pro pounded would be such that Great Britain would still maintain her pre-eminent position.--e(Hear, bear.) We (continued the Prime Warden) neither deal with the question of protection nor the abolition of the naviga tion-laws; we look to his Lordship, as merchants and as connected with the manufacturing interests and the colonial interests, for that justice which we know we shall receive from his hands.—(Chers.) The Prime Warden, after adding that the course which the Noble Earl took 18 years ago endeared him to that com pany and to the country, concluded with avowing his belief that, if over there was a man who entered upon office with a determination to endeavour to promote the good of his country, it was their brother Goldsmith the Earl of Derby.—(Much cheering.) The toast " The Earl of Derby and her Majesty's Ministers" was then drunk, and was hailed with repeated rounds of cheering. The Earl of DERBY was welcomed with renewed cheers on his rising to acknowledge the toast. He said —Prime Warden, my Lords, and gentlemen, gratifying as it must be at at all times to a public man to be re ceived upon any occasion with such marks of cordiality and good will as those with which you have honoured me to-night, I must confess that it is peculiarly grati fying to me to receive that expression of your kindness on the present occasion from the lips of an old friend, for whom I have always entertained a sincere personal regard, and to whom I owe a species of qualified alle giance in the capacity of a subject of the Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths' Company—(Laughter and cheering) —and I am particularly gratified that my worthy friend has done me the honour of proposing to you my health, not only in the capacity of First Lord of her Majesty's Treasury, hut also in a capacity which I hardly value and pride myself upon less, that of a brother Goldsmith, as I have been for many years—a brother Goldsmith and a member of this ancient and loyal corporation— (Cheers) —probably hardly more distinguished for its wealth and standing in this great metropolis than it is, as has been observed by my Noble Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty, for itu steady loyalty in the maintenance of our institutions, or, as was observed by my Right Rev. Friend, for the attention which it bras always paid to charitable undertakings, and more es pecially to those connected with the religious establish ment of the country.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, in taking office at the present time—in taking office, indeed, at any time—l am deeply sensible of the load of respon sibility which must attach to any man; but I feel that my worthy friend near me has only done me and my colleagues justice in the assumption, that in taking upon us that responsibility of office we have been actuated by no feelings and no motives except those of desiring conscientiously and to the best of our abi lity to discharge the arduous duties which that task, that high and honourable task, imposes upon us.— (Cheers,) Gentlemen, among the strange variations and chan ges t h at h ave ta k en p l ace, per h aps t h ere are w f, which are cal cu l a t e d to p ro d uce so grea t an effect— terr, certainly, have produced so great a feeling of asto nishment and of wonder—as the recent discovery in various quarters of th e wor ld o f th a t w hi c h we h ave heretofore, b een metal"—(gear, h a e ccustomed to consider a " precious industry of our cris ; t r)—that which is the staple of the been considered to be (Hear.)

The Hfcrsr &mare, in opening the proceedings, said that he had great pleasure in complying with the terms of the requisition, and would briefly state the reasons why. The city of Westminster had actively and liberally support e d the movement in favour of the Exhibition two years ago. The subscriptions then promised were 7,785/. ; the sum realized, all expenses of collection, &c., paid, was 7,6781., and only , 361. remained uncollected.—(Hear, hear.) He there tore thought that they had a right to exercise a voice respecting the future destination of the building.— ' (Hear, hear.) He bad heard various statements made why the building should be taken down, and among others that it had answered its purpose, but that was a reason which could very easily be an swered. When he drank a bottle of wine did he de stroy the decanter which contained it ? No ' • he sent it down to the ce ll ar to b e fi l l e d aga i n. —(Ch eers.) It was also objected that a promise had been made that the building should be removed within a given time, and it was argued that the illustrious person who made that promise could not break it ; but they had a right to know under what circumstances that promise had been made.—(Hear.) It was not made, he be lieved, under false representations, but under a false impression that it would injure the propery in the neighbourhood.—(Cri es of " No, no," with " Yes.") He had reason to believe th a t it h a d not injured the property in the neighbourhood, and he knew an in stance of a gentleman selling property for build ing purposes in the vicinity of the Crystal Palace who got a far larger amount than he had dreamt of before the erection of the palaee.---(Hear, hear.) Again, it was said that allowing the building to stand would lead to the demoralization of the people; but he would ask any one present whether such a conclu sion could be justified by experience ? Was there ever a summer and year spent with more harmony and good feeling among the people of this country The third and last objecti on twashan last tha t ?— if preserved, would be come a nuisance to the ladie s and g entle men living opposite.— (Laughter.) His answer to that was, that no man ought to have a nuisance the ( eh b ee u r il s ding , put under his nose without receiving compensa tion' and the compensation in the present insta nce would be, among other things, a beautiful winter garden at their doors, without the expense of gar deners. How much more convenient for them to be able to step, in a minute or two, into a splendid gar den, than to be obliged to go to hew, or to the Chats worth conservatories, or to the gardens at Alton Towers, or Sion-house, or those of Mrs. Lawrence, or Mrs. Mo watt ? Private rights must give way to the public benefit, and the distinguished judge who opposed the preservation of the building constantly enunciated that doctrine.----(Cheers.) Let those who considered themselves aggrieved, therefore, have the compensation pointed out by him—let them have free admission to the 'Winter Garden for themselves and their families, as long as they remained tenants of the houses opposite.—(Cheers.) Mr. MGREGOE, 1t1.P., said the moving of the first resolution had been intrusted to him because he had resided opposite to the site of the Crystal Palace be fore it had been constructed. He had gone to the expense of building a commodious and handsome resin dence, and if opposite to it there were erected three Crystal Palaces instead of one that would rather be an inducement to remain than to quit. The question before them was far above mere private motives. It was connected with the civilization and moral ad vancement of the people, and he had no hesitation in saying of those who promoted the demolition of the Crystal Palace that they were enemies to the march of civilization, and that they showed them selves animated with the feelings of Goths and Van dals, and not with that spirit and noble energy that had constructed it.—(Hear.) He contended that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests had no right to meddle with the building, except with the consent of the people. They had committed a trespass by, in the first instance, promoting the erection of the build ing in the park, which was the people's, but the people had consented, which was a most satisfactory plea for them. Now, if they pulled it down, it would be a trespass, and neither they nor the Government had any right to interfere without the consent of Parlia ment. A strong and general feeling for the preser vation of the Crystal Palace must be manifested, and that immediately. Petititions must be poured into the House of Commons, and, to have any chance of success there, the friends of retaining the Palace must receive the most powerful support from out of doors. —(Hear.) He hoped all who heard him would give it, that they would induce all they knew to follow their example, to sign petitions, to recollect they had but a short time to act, to call meetings every day betwixt the present time and the end of the month, and so make Ministers think it a matter fraught with danger to attempt to demolish the Palace of the people.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the following resolution : " That it is the decided opinion of this meeting that the Crystal Palace ought to be preserved in its present site." Mr. GEESIN seconded the resolution, and said that the remarks already made must be perfectly conclu sive. It was a question with him whether the Mini sters were so averse to this palace because its attrac tions might endanger other palaces studded all over the kingdom—he meant those commonly called " gin pelaces."—(A laugh.) He would advise the Han. Gentleman who had just sat down to move for a re turn of the namas and residences of those who opposed the preservation of the Crystal Palace, and then they would know those who were the enemies of the march of improvement. Their chairman had alluded to the promise of an illustrious personage, but he was quite sure if the Prince was now solicited, he would not give a vote in favour of pulling down that building, in the erection of which he took so deep an interest. —(Hear.) As for the promises of Ministers, he would not give a fig for them, for they broke them to suit their own convenience. —(Hear.) If a building which was thought worthy of imitation in America and other countries were allowed to be pulled down, so much the greater would be the disgrace to the people who permitted it. He heartily agreed with the resolution. LAURENT'S CASINO, A RGYLL ROOMS, Great Windmill-street, St. James's. The PRIZE WALTZ, awarded to Mr. W. 11.

(From the New York Sun.) Nowhere has a more bitter opposition to Kossuth been manifested than in St. Louis, and yet he seems to have met there with an enthusiastic reception and excellent success. The Hungarian bonds sold freely; in addition, over 4,000 dolls. in cash has been contributed to the Kossuth Fund. The venerable patriot, Gov. Uj hazy, accompanied Kossuth to New Orleans. The following incident is reported in the St. Louis papers:— " Many vicissitudes in life have been my lot, said Kossuth, but many sincere enjoyments likewise.

During the whole of the Exhibition last year he suffered in a pecuniary point of view from the ceaseless hum—(Cries of " Oh !" and laughter) —and the countless crowds of cabs, and omnibuses, and vehicles pouring through the streets. —(Laughter.) They were now told that this popular agitation was to be kept up, and the trades men of Westminster and of St. George's and St. James's were to be ruined.—(Laughter, and cries . of " Nonsense, Jackson !") In a personal point of view he was reluctant that the building should stand, for, if it did, Piccadilly would become a nuisancei —(Oh, oh.)

He al ways thought that the people of these streets paid more because there was always a larger number of persons passing through them ; and that was why the rents i Regent•street, Picca3illy, and Cheapside were so high. He did not hear the people of Cheap side say that they must not have their streets blocked up. They were anxious to keep up the Crystal Pe lac©, because it was addressed to the best feelings of their nature. It was the same feeling tart induced the establishment of archmological societies, and suggested the preservation of Roman remains; and in the same way they needed a memorial of the Great E x hibi t i on, that had brought the world to their shores, an d had achieved a renown greater than their battles and tri ump h s i n war.—(Cheers.) Nothing, in his opinion, could be more appropriate. It was a place of wondrous beauty, and. although he had a deep feeling for arc hi tectural be a uty as it was exhibitedin their old cath e d ra l s, there was a beauty in the Exhibition building of its own, and as a work of art it ought to be preserved; if they would not lay themselves open to the charge of pulling down every - - thing that was beautiful, they should come forward and say that they would not have the palace desecrated. If there had been no Exhibition at all they should endeavour to preserve it. It had often been said they had nothing to show to the world of the architecture of the 19th century, but in that building they had an architecture of their own. It was the commencement of a new era, and would they now come and lay their Vandal hands Aponeity and say.itshould not stand (Great cheering.) The Crystal .Palace might be made a great teaching, and serve to collect ob jects of art and industry, and materials, and manu factures. The higher classes wanted instruction in many things as well as the lower classes. The Exhi bition had taught them the cause.of their citizens and workmen not being able to compete with those of France, Austria, and Belgium, viz., that the mass of the people were not educated. When they saw their manufactures beaten out of many of the markets of the world, it was time for them to take some steps in the improvement of the education of the people.— (Cheers.) This was a matter that ought not to be left to the Government ; for if anything distinguished an Englishman it was his doing things for himself.— (Loud cheers) What Government dare interfere with them, and say they should not have a Crystal Palace in their own grounds ?—(Cheers.) He hoped the voice of the meeting would reach those in power, and, if they were the servants of the people, they must do its will.—(Much cheering.) Mr. J. W. MARSHALL called up on t h e m ee ti n g i n the name of ceorn on sense and in the name of the humble classes to retain the building, if it were only to commemor a t e t h e great and glorious , spectacle they had witnessed within it.—(Ch eers .) In this country they h a d lib erty without license, loyalty in the subject with ou t t yranny or despotism on the part of their rulers, a n d h e h a d no doubt the voice ofthe people would be heard. If there were any candidates for seats in Parliament, then, as an enlightened and independent elector of the borough of Westminster, he cared not w heth e r th e can did ate was Whig, Tory, ' or Radical, he s h ou ld suppor t hi m if h e would only vote for the retention of the building.—(Much cheering and laughter.) Mr. Greecu, M.P., said he appeared before them as an inhabitant of Westminster, most desirous of giving the best aid he could in carrying out the objects for which they were met. If the meeting had been held in autumn last the fate of the Crystal Palace would have been assured. Those who desired to take it away said that the people were lukewarm, and did not care for the Crystal Palace ; but he believed, if the people of the metropolis were now polled, i d, 99 out of every 100 wou ld b e des i rous o f retaining t.— (Hear, hear.) The building was in great danger, not from prejudice, but from the want of proper informa tion on the part of those who had the power of avert ing its destruction. He would not enter upon the subject of the u ses t o w hi c h it might be put, but would confine himself simply to the saving of the building. They found Noblemen and Gentlemen with th e i r p ar k s an d green houses ; and, if the people now had a building adapted for a winter garden on their own ground, why should they not secure it ? He would call their attention to the warnings that were in every man's mouth, and even in the mouths of scientific men, when it was erected, that the first storm of wind would blow it down. Others said that the galleries were so suspended that they would all give way and fall down. Every one of those statements had been proved fallacious, and they were now told, although it had served as a tem porary, it was not fit for a permanent structure.— (Cheers.) He should be happy. by any means in his power, to force on Members of the House of Com mons the conviction that the people were desirous of retaining the Crystal Palace and he believed they would have a majority in their favour.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. BEALE observed, that nothing would be more delightful to ti a industrious classes than the opportu nity of spending the evening in agreeable relaxation, unbending their minds from the cares of life, and communing with the works of those who bad contri buted to the national greatness. He trusted that not only London, but every part of the country, would speak out on this subject in a manner not to be mis taken by Parliament. Mr. MILEY proposed an amendment, and in doing so expressed a wish that some one more able than himself bad brought it forward. (A Voice—" Col. SilAiorp," and much laughter.) His resolution was as follows : " That the Crystal Palace havin; s , answered admirably the temporary purpose for which it was erected, it is a breach of faith with the public—(Elisses)—highly inju rious to the beauty and salubrity of Hyde-park— (Laughter, end Oh, oh!')—and detrimental to the health and enjoyment of the neighbourhood—(Laughter) —and to the city of Westminster generally, that it should remain as a permanent litliking or continue be yond the time fixed by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for its removal." —(Cries of " Oh, oh !") He entirely concurred in the sentiments expressed, that the Crystal Palace, as regarded the purpose for which it was erected, re flected immortal honour on the designer and contrac tors, and that their fame belonged not to England, but the world.—(Hear.) Now, however, with respect knew to the breach of p rom i se .—(L aug hter.) He Hyde-park well, a n d th a t, p ro b a bly before four-fifths the meeting wer e bor n .

He m aintained that the building was injurious to the health, salubrity, and enjoyment of the park.

BANATTII amen Oxford-street, but he subsequently with drew his support, on the ground that in his opinion the salubrity of the park would not be affected by the re tention of th e pa l ace. The amendment, therefore, fell to the ground. Mr. G. SMITH said that Mr. Jackson had objected to the palace on the ground that it created a great hum in the streets.—(Laughter.) Now, he could tell Mr. Jackson that the objection was the greatest " hum" of all.—(Great laughter.) Another gentle man gravely told them that the building had been the admiration of all the nations of the world, but then went and lost himself in the Serpentine._ (Much laughter.) He wanted it to go forth to the world that they were unanimous in their desire to preserve the Crystal Palace—a desire which, properly expressed, he did not think the Government would dare to oppose.—(Cheers.) Mr. GEOSIE4N, as a working man, was of opinion that the building ought to be allowed to stand— (Cheers)—and he was convinced that that was the opinion of 99 out of every 100 persons present.— (Cheers,) No one could visit Paris or the other capitals on the continent of Europe without feeling how far England was behind the rest of the world in monuments of intelligence and civilisation.—(Cheers.) It had been objected that the Crystal Palace injured trade, but, if any t ra d er o f l as t year did no t b ene fit by the Great Exhibition, he must have been asleep— (Cheers)—and dead to the proper method of managing ' his business.—(Ch eers .) The motion was then put and carried, with seven dissentients, am id l o ud cheering and the we vin g hats and handkerchiefs. secon d rase- Admiral Sir G.

At the Dover Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, a charge of swindling of somewhat singular character, was brought before C. B. Wilkins and J. Coleman, Esqs. The persons charged were William O'Brien Fitzgerald and Lady Emily Augusta Fitzgerald, his wife, and the charge was for obtaining 401. from Mr. W. H. Payn, solicitor, ofDover, under false pretences, they having stated that Mr. Henry Foster, a barrister, of Furnival'a Inn, their agent, had 3,0001., and other property belong ing to them, in his possession, at the same time there being no such person in existence. The parties resided for two years—about 1849.50—at Eythorne, near Dover, and whilst there became acquained with Mr. Payn. O n leaving Eythorne, where they paid all their debts, they proceeded to: Pau, in the Basses Pyrenees, where they occupied a splendid chateau. They got into debt, and were incarcerated for obtaining credit tider_tssunied_ names, They were fo'n montbrWithont i eta and at length were sentenced to o ne y ear ' s i m p r i sonme nt. From the prison Fitz gera ld a dd ressed a long letter to M r. P ayn, imploring his professional assistance to extricate them, and stating that their lives would be sacrificed unless the Court of Appeal reversed the sentence. Mr. Payn proceeded to Pau ; en d after f xnrnining into the truth of their statement s (f or w hi ch they were fully prepared, producing their marriage certificate, letters from the Queen of the French, their passports, &c.), and his sympathy being excited for their forlorn and miserable condition, he was induced to pay their debts, amounting to 4501.; afterwards ple a d e d t h e i r cause before the Court of Appeal, sad obtained their provisional release and brought them back to England. Ile then advanced them 401. to enable them to proceed to the North, to their friends; and having waited patiently seven months for proof of their statements, in reference to Mr. Foster, the barrister, and their honourable relations, and finding no reference satisfactory, and boring in the meantime inquired into every ramification of their extraordinary story, finally resolve d to have them again placed in cus tody, for which purpose he proceeded to Ba rnar d Castle, near which place, in a retired village, called Worlton, with the assistance of two active p o li ce officers he succeeded in capturing them, and seizing their papers. They were taken before Archdeacon Heatll.lm, who sent them under escort to Dover; and the magistrates remanded them for three weeks to give time for further inquiries.

LION HUNTING IA KATTIA WAR. (From the Overland Telegraph.) In the burning month of June three of us left camp at hajkote, and pitched our tents at Leah, where we found hog very numerous ; and, notwithstanding the thick jungle, we managed to make a few porkers bite the dust. The rains falling dispersed the party, two returning to camp, when I wended my way northward, and established myself at Drangdra. On the 19th, while munching my solitary dinner in the evening, my Puggee came in, bringing with him a Bhur wan, who informed me that, while driving his herd homewards, a large lion sprung on and killed one of his cows. 20th. Rose at daylight, and much against the per suasion of the Mahoot, Peer Khan, mounted the elephant, an d procee di ng a b ou t one mile to the north west of the city, the dead cow was pointed out from a small eminence, and on its remains were feasting a fine lion and lioness, which walked off on my at tempting to go within decent shooting distance of them; and as the sowars sent after me by the Raja had missed me in the jungle, the Janwurs were soon invisible. After several hours pugging, I again sighted them about 150 yards off making way at a quick walk; end after a fruitless search we returned to the tents, having learnt (as the Mahoot bad fore told) that the cool of the morning is not the most favourable time for lion-shooting. 21st. The Puggee came in at 11 raw., and reported a lion marked down, near the same place we had found one yesterday. At starting, the day was threatening, and ere we reached the ground the rain came down accompanied with a storm of thunder and lightning. The lion was lying under a large clump of the Euphorbia Antiquarium, with his head be tween his paws ; when the elephant was pushed up within 10 feet of him, he arose, and at the same mo received a ball into his chest. The enraged animal with a loud roar showed tail, and rocket-like fairly dived through the enormous mass of Euphorbia bushes, under which he had been lying, and which one would have fancied would have proved a stopper to an elephant. The lion now making an opposition thunder with his roaring, tail and mane erect, charged first at one horseman, then at another, until he had increased the circumference of their circle pretty considerably, when he took shelter under a bush. Oa the elephant approaching within 50 yards, down turnhe came a b m y e and was only induced to the elephant's trunk. He now lay down under a a in ba g ll a r ll ig an h t t through style him, when nearly under bank, and an unfortunate horseman going up too near, the lion charged him as if unhurt, and, after a chase of about 100 yards, making a succession of bounds, boned the horse, which fell near the elephant, wh en andAfi After s t r h i i d s er h e e s c 7 h e a d re; ; e the d former once or t much ice I checked the lion with another ball, and the horse ) cl the latter's back screched by the tli nberdouva,h t eat i n t a thoroughly ro wasughbel and the fell after two more b a ll s, t h e last into ani mal's iaaril,csgelceldadanevial his das i being drenched. muse; man y applications were made r littl e of the fat, fora lion h brain. e n the was the whiskers and claws, all of which are, in some way ' or natianother, used for medicinal purposes by the ves. 22d.

The black lion was reported as seen entering a nallah of tall reeds at daybreak. These reeds reached, as we found, over the howdah, on putting the elephant in ; and we were glad, after capturing another fine cub in the briar, to get out again, the elephant sank so deep in the mud. Sent for and pro cured about 200 buffaloes (of the Raja's) and turned them in, and when after hard work they came on the lion, he wounded one of them on the back, but only showed himself two far off and entered again, when heavy rains obliged us to retire.
