Unquestionably about the most popular of all the Ministerial appointments made by the Earl of DERBY in the process of constructing his Administration, was that by which the Admiralty Board was announced to be presided over by his Grace the Duke of NORTHUM BERLAND. From the outset we asserted as much, and every month that has elapsed since the formation of the existing Cabinet has only tended the more en tirely to convince us of the accuracy of our first im pression. It was simply natural, indeed, that the Royal Navy of England should be presided over by one of the officers in that profession. As natural as it must always be, of course, for the soldiers of Great Britain to look for a General or a Field-Marshal in the responsible office of Colnraander •in- Chief. Yet, such being indisputably the case, we have bad the chagrin of beholding the affairs of the maritime service of the United Kingdom entrusted to the guidance —not of a sea-captain, but of a civilian ! A gentleman in black—mind ! with the libel Act before us we don't say, expressly the gentleman in black, but a gentleman in black—instead of a gentle. man in blue, has been authorised to exercise supreme authority over the whole of the naval system in—of all countries in the wide world—England. Even Upon gala days the disgrace th us re fl ecte d upon t h e most national of our warlike professions was bat slightly shrouded from observation. Then, if no mere gentleman in black paraded in the midst of a glitterin g group of veteran flag-officers—it was simply becau se presiding genius of the place" was transform e d fo r the -once into a Right Honour able Administrator, bedizmed in the Windsor uni form ! Flsppilythinsar, Si n ce the DERBY Ministry was gazetted in February, the naval officers of thisbountry have had the satisfaction of bearing in r emembran ce the fact th at one of their own number is now formally installed at the head of the Board o f Admiralty—and that ohe of their own number," no less disting uished a sailor than hi s Grace the Duke of N O UTHUMBERLAND. Fortunately the circumstance here referred to has proved already one fraught with no empty satisfac tion. Already within the last six or seven mewls, namely, ever since the Earl of DEnnY and hi s leagues were inducted into the localities renowned as the favourite abode of power in Westminster, being, in fact, removed to Downing-street just as the pre ceding Ministry were settling uncomfortably down in Queer-street—we have found repeated cause to con gratulate the nation at large upon the restoration of the original order of things in regard to the system of maritime organization. Several " crying abuses" have in this manner been already effectually removed. Several acts of justice have, in a manner equally prompt and praiseworthy, been performed. Descending to more minute particulars the shameful i n diff erence di sp l aye d i n re f erence t o the incomplete state of the Nelson qestimonial in 7 43f ral si a t r s - ou l ye—one of the m os t me l anc h o l y i ns t ea d , (a have been) one of the mos t g l or i ous sights in theu metropolis—has been a n ythi ng b u t e mulated by e Board of Ad m i ra lt y , now t h at i t i s presided over by a sailor as devoted to his profe ss i on ate his Gr ace the D been of NORTHUMBERLAND. Pre parations it will have is f remarked by all those who m r front of have recently b een have been some ti me the National Gall e ry bronze to the pede s t a l_ th 7 for affixing the last our _Commemorative of the hareimmortal hero, that by w ea h r i l c ie h s t he y i m ct a o y ry b g 3 a s i a n i e d d t b o y his sod an Earldom for his commanding officer memorable dis- obedience of orders off Cape St. v. Ilacent • Does any one bear in recollection poor TOM the summitgotesque of 1 little woodcut of NELSON'S Sta-ue ca perched upon the cocked that unfortunate column in Trafalgae. scitivre -with the imperial eagle of Russia hat, holding in its (che esgie's net the cocked hat's) claw a purse of fiv&hundred sovereigns, and --- new er _ ;math— " There are MOra thirg3 'oliXt Heaven and Earth, Horatio, • Than Were d ream t o4' in ;.our pililo3oPhY." Unluckily the disgrace c,13;; Lion the nation by that miserable 500/. cannot ho so very readily EffAced. Insomuch, however, as th e sup pl eme ntary odium of negligence in this matter of the monument is concerned, his Grace the First Lord of the Admiralty appe:rs to be eager by every reason able means to remove from the national escutcheon one portion at least of this odious blot of ingratitude. After the raising of the last bronze to its destined cavity in the pedestal, we shall hope to witness very speedily the appearance of the four colossal granite couchast, gardau"—bringing Vrie Trati monial to its long-desired and by many long despaired of state of completion. Siinultaneouily with these honourable efforts to "set the finishing touch" to the principal among the national tributes to Lord NELSON, there hare been making other efforts yet more honourable to compen , sate to some small extent the deplorable neglect shown for forty-seven years towards one of the officers of that heroic and immortal commander. During the last few days we have had the satisfaction of referring in our naval intelligence more than once to the recent bestowal upon Lieutenant JOHN POLLARD of the lieutenant's out-pension of Greenwich. It is griev ously characteristic of the naval service of England that such should have been the tardy recompense ac corded to a brave old tar who was born as far back as 1787, and who entered the maritime profession, in which he has been so disgracefully overlooked, as early as 1797. Lieutenant POLLARD, the signal midshipman on board the Victory at the memorable battle of Tra falgar, has thus, it will be observed, had to wait until 1852 for even a feeble recognition of his eminent claims upon the country—and this recognition has only been accorded now that the Board of Admiralty is presided over by a distinguished brother officer like the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND. Whenever the Great Unpaid have a chance, they notoriously distinguish themselves ; at times th e y move us to anger by the pertinacity with which they apply themselves to the persecution andprosecuwtiiothn of unhappy violators of th e G a m e Laws ; but some times, also, by way of re l i ef—m ingling comedy tragedy—they indulge the public with a touch of the ludicrous. As a matter of course, the Great Unpaid know very little of the law; nor can they be blamed, though they may pitied, for their ignorance —save and except, indeed, that they are scarcely justified in undertaking the performance of judicial duties, without possessing a requisite knowledge of the law. On Saturday, the complaint of the Anti-Cruelty to Animals Society versus Cremorne Gardens—with which the public have been dosed, usque ad nauseum, —was brought before the Magistrates at Ilford Petty Sessions. It was then and there known (for it had been publicly announced previous to that day) that the proprietor of the gardens had determined not to allow a repetition of anything of the sort com plained of. The Society, however, having got a po pular cue, went in for their " pound of flesh "—in the shape of a fine or conviction. Now and then, by way of showing that it lives, the Society makes a grand display : we earnestly wish, that, for the sake of humanity, they would be half as vigilant as re gards the ordinary cases of cruelty to animals which are daily occurring in the streets. They have such magnanimous sympathy for ballooned ponies and bulls, that they take them from Acton to West minster, and thence into E ssex. But we never hear of their watching and prosecuting the bull baitings and bull.rushings in the classic vi cinity of Smithfield. Let then Mr. THOMAS only take his stand in Snow-hill on any Friday in the year, and we promise him an abundance of cases to bring before the magistrates. This Cre morne case, however, by its notoriety, will be "meat, drink, food, and clothing" (like the ale of the Lich field Boniface) for the next twelve months. At Ilford, on Saturday, the complaint was, that Madme PoITEvIN had gone up on a heifer attached to a balloon, which had ascended from Cremorne Gar dens, of which Mr. SI3IPEON is the lessee. (We may state, parenthetically, that we really have been unable to discover the interest, in any way, of pony o r b u ll ascents. They are, to our taste, as absurd as what are magnificently called "polanderic feats.") The magistrates present, at these Petty Sessions, are said to have been Mr. W. DAVIS, Chairman ; and Messrs. G. FRY, 0. MASHITER, and INVNAUGHTEN. Mr. THOMAS, the secretary of the Society, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. PARRY, as counsel, and Mr. LEWIS, solicitor, for the defendants. At the commencement of the proceedings Mr. THOMAS said he wished to inform the magistrates that i course had been suggested by Mr. PARRY, who appeared for the defendants, which was this, that they should plead guilty, and consent to pay the full penalty of 51. each, they undertaking that in future no such exhibitions should take place at Cremorne. They also proposed to take the opinion of the magistrates as to whether Madame PoITEvIN was legally liable to the penalty, as it was alleged that she was at the time acting under the direction and control of her husband. If the Bench approved of such a course, he, on the part of the prosecution, had no objection. Thi, which involved the great point sought by the Society (namely, the conviction), might have settled the matter, one would have thought. And so it would before a Stipendiary Magistrate who had common sense—but not so with the Great Unpaid. They determined to make a field-day of it, to hear what the lawyers bad to say, "to confine themselves to the legal points," and to have the honour and glory of speechifying thereafter. So they heard counsel at great length, his last sentence being, "I need cite no authorities to show that it has been uniformly held that where a woman acts in concert with her husband, and in his presence, she is l taken able to be point of under law.his con trol, and is not in any way am grateful for your courtesy in allowing me to make this brief statement; you have given me a lati tude with I know I could only rece ived have from your courtesy ; and I rely upon the strong feeli ng and sense of justice that characterise Engl ish tribu nals, that you will take into consideration not only the fact itself, but all the circumstances connected with it, and that you will be of opinion that Mr. SIMPSoN was not altogether unjustified in entering into the original engagement. I will say on his be half that no man feels more, after what has been said upon this topic, than Mr. SIMPSON, that he never ascentselfagain ought to allow, and he pledg e s e s himself o f per sonally that he never will allow, any animals to take place." The Chairman is said to have then delivered the following remarkable speech : " We all of us feel the deep importance of this offence, anti the question was one which—l believe I can s p ea k truly —we were all determined previously to coin ! , to a conclusion this day upon the subject. We now, is this k situation, are not sitting as an ordinary tribunal—we are here as judge and jury upon a most deeply-important geestio n regarding the welfare, and peace, and morality of this kingdom. I have no doubt, in my humble situation--/ have no d ou bt w hatever but that the eye s , not only of the English p u bli c are on us a t this inst an t, b ut perh aps the eyes o f a l l Europe are upon this most serio us matter.-- (Sensatto n .)

And then, the exquisite finish, that si perhaps THE EYES OF " ALL EunorE are upon this most serious matter. With RR. PEEL S the exception of Justice SHALLOW an d Sir " three tailors in T oo l e y-street, calling themselves ' we, the people of Engla n d,' " there never was such grandiloquence as thi s . " The eyes of all Europe, ,, we assure the public, are not directed either to Essex calves or Essex magistrates ! After another speech from the Chairman—thrice as wordy and six times as absurd as the above—in which he is made to say (we hope erroneously), " As a boy I was schooled in a public-house, and there were constantly scenes of riot and disgusting exhibitions," —each defendant was fined 51. and costs, being exactly what had been offered, in submssion, at the openin g of the case ! But, then, had the matter been cut abort at the commencement, we should not have had the Chairman's " eyes of all Europe" harangue. So, he appeared as a magisterial " Sir Oracle," and said his say. It is true that he attempted to explain why he was diffuse and tedious. "Perhaps," said be, after alluding to his own early schooling, "per haps I am exte nding my observations a little more than is needful ; but I think the case does require a little more expression of opinion on the part of gentle men like fuirSeirws than any ordinary transaction that THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY might be brought before us. It is to be borne in mind that the civilization of this country has proceeded upon, besides the acts I have brought before you, one of the most important acts, indeed, of the time with which you must all be familiar—l mean the humane policy that dictated the emancipation of our slaves within the last twenty-six years, and therefore everything we can do to uphold that humane conduct we are bound to do." What con nexion Negro Emancipation has with Madame POITEVIN'S heifer, we are quite unable to ascertain ; it is only " gentlemen like OURSELVES" (i. e., like the magistrates who sit in Petty Sessions at Ilford and have such a brilliant and oratorical chairman), who can possibly show this. Happy Ilford ! blessed with such wise and great and good Unpaid ! Take their own words for it, and they are the salt of the earth. The self - complacency of this Mr. W. DAVIS, chair man of the Ilford justices, is exquisite. Each Essex lis tened, withaw-bacon" (as COI3BETT called them), who gaping mouth and erected ears, to the " eyes of Europe" oration, must have departed smitten with inten se a d m i rat i on o f " gentlemen like our selves," and c h uc kli ng over t h e id ea t h at " I lford Justices hal licked Lunnon lawyers and French fur reners, any how." It must have been a glorious ex hibition—almoSt equal to the performance of Hamlet by the late Joni.; LISTON, or that of Romeo by the living ROBERT KEELEY ! This melo-dramatic scene occurred, at Ilford, on Saturday. Yesterday, at Westminster, Mr. ARNOLD —a stipendiary magistrate who dispenses justice, knowing the law—gave his judgment on a parallel case, against the same defendants. A sensible, well reasoned, plain-spoken judgment it was. Having compared the conflicting evidence, as to whether one of two ponies who went up with a balloon (and had previously done so 150 times, without apparent hurt or harm,) was injured by the ascent,—having come to the conclusion that it was not proved " that the animal suffered either from pain or fear on this occa sion,"—having giving his opinion that the putting the animal to the risk of an accident was an act of cruelty, but not within the intention of the Act of Parliament,—and having fully and properly declared against such exhibitions (which will not again take place), Mr. ARNOLD considered the case as not proven and dismissed the summonses. Both judgments, that at Ilford, as well as that at Westminster, are correct, we doubt not. In one, the defendants admitted the charge, in the other they rebutted it. But the contrast be tween the way in which the judgments were given ! Mr. ARNOLD did not say that he was sitting "as judge and jury"—nor that the matter deeply involved " the welfare, the peace, nor the morality of this kingdom" —nor that "the eyes of Europe" were upon him,—nor did he connect the subject with that of Negro Emancipation —nor, in a word, did he go out of his way for the sake of display. He did bis duty as a sound lawyer and good magistrate, and, in so doing it, has made a contrast between the paid and the Great Unpaid magistrates not much in favour of the latter. The days of the Great Unpaid—" gentle men like ourselves"—are coming to a close, we hope. The great easiness of the money market, the low rate of interest, and the prospect of a c ontinuous and abundant supply of bullion from California and Australia, have induced capitalists to look anxiously for favourable investments. Already the Three per Cents, are above par. Stock and shares of every de scription are at fair prices, the " quotations being well supported." Under such circumstances, dearly bought experience teaches that foreign loans, and other speculations calculated to divert the stream of bullion from our shores, will be brought prominently forward. The moneyocracy, tempted by the promise of a higher rate of interest, or perhaps by the hope of getting off the bonds or coupons at handsome premiums, will rush into such under takings, and create an excitement, that will speedily be carried to the utmost degree of intensity. The money, which retained at home, would afford ample employment to the industrious classes and ensure remunerative wages to every man able and willing to work, will be sent out of the country, not only being rendered of no practical utility, but be coming almost mischievous, through the spirit of gambling excited. It is therefore highly desirable that English money should be invested in English securities, or in speculations to be carried out in the British dominions—whether i❑ the mother country or in the colonies is of little importance. Among the most impartant of these securities, to which we would once more dir€ct attention are the shares in the different railway lines, many of which have recovered from the undue depreciation under which they were so long labouring, and afford as safe in vestments as any that can be named at the present moment. We believe that the dividends of the great trunk lines have seen their lowest points, and that while prospectively there may be an increase, there is but little, if any, danger of a reduction from present rates. But still there is a sort of vague and undefined fear that prevents parties from retaining their invest ments, even if they should have made them on advantageous terms. They become anxious to realise their profits, and sell out in order to do so, not reflecting that such favourable opportunities may not again arise. Nothing ,but full information as to the position and prospects of the several undertakings will remove this erroneous impression, and convince capitalists of the propriety of seeking permanent in vestments in the stock of the great railway companies. The dissection of the railway balance-sheets for the second half of the year 1850, for 1851, and the first half of 1852, which has just been put forward by Mr. WADESON, of the Stock Exchange, contains much sound practical in formation, and will be found well worthy of perusal. It gives, in a condensed form, in a single sheet, all that ought to be known respecting the principal companies for each of the four last halt-years —the average number of miles open—the gross re ceipts and the traffic receipts—the working charges (including taxation and Government duty)—the pre ferential charges, whether as loans, guarantees, or otherwise—the reserve, depreciation ; or renewal fund —the total receipts and disbursements—the balance applicable to dividend—the dividend paid and ba lance carried—the maintenance of the way and stations, and the general locomotive work, showing the per-centage of working expenses on traffic receipts. The aynoptical view thus afforded, and the oppor tunity for comparison thereby allowed, will at once satisfy the inquirer of the soundness of these great concerns. The year 1851, of course, constituted an excep tional period. The extraordinary traffic occasioned by the Great Exhibition produced a vast increase in the receipts when compared with the corresponding portions of preceding years ; and it is no ordinary praise to say that there is little, if any, falling off, but that in almost every instance the high position assumed in 1851 has been fully maintained. We commend then railway stock to those seeking safe investments, and Mr. WADEsoN's dissection of the several balance sheets as a trustworthy guida to the value of that stock. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The market closed firmly, and, as compared with Friday's rates, prices of th© lower qualities have recovered the decline of *d. per lb. The sales included 100 Bahia. at 51d. to 6d.1 ; 500 Egyptian, at 6d. to 10d. ; an d 800 S urat , at 3 d. to qd. per lb.—Railway Shares were very dull, without any nriterial change in prices. The Stock Markets are generally heavy this morning from the want of business. The absence of so great a portion of the members of the Stock Exchange, and of the public for the shooting season, is the cause of the existing dulnFeß. The Consul Market is fist at a further fall of i f per cent. in prices, whilst the dealings are limited, and for the most part composed of sales on account of private individuals. The present quotation is 904 to for Money, and 99i to 100 for Account. The unfunded Securities remain unaltered. The March Bills are 725. to 755. premium, and those dated iu June last are 67d. to 70s. premium. India Bonds 84s- premium. The Foreign Securities are more or less flat, at a de cline in quotations. Peruvian Deferred Bonds are it per cent. lower than yesterday. Sardinian are also not quite so good, and on the Turkish Loan sales have been pressed forward rather eagerly today, and the premium has in cons, quence receded to 10i to Portuguese and Spanish Securities, however, keep steady. Austrian Scrip h as re ceded fully 4 per cent. In other Stocks there is no alteration deserving of special notice, and the amount of business doing is very moderate. Chilian are quoted 1051 to 107, and Grenada Deferred 12j. Mexican are quiet at 25k. Spanish New Deferred are 23i. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have risen to 65-1. In Gold Mining Snares there is very little doing, and Noveau Monde are weaker. he Railway Share Mark e t is very dull, and a fall of to t per cent. ha s t a k en pl ace upon the principal lines. French Shares are also lower. QUARTER TO THREE. ... 99 1 99i 100 Ccnsols Ditto Account. Oct. 13 ... BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE. This elegant theatre opens for the season on Sa turday next. The entertainments announced are, a new petite comedy by Mr. Boucicault, in which Mr. Walter Lacy will make his first appearance under Mr. Kean's management. Mr. Lacy will also un dertake the role of Chateau Renard in the ever popular romantic drama of the Corsican Brothers, Mr. Charles Kean, of course, sustaining his celebrated characters of the Dei Franchi. That admirable farce, A Roland for an Oliver, is to be revived on Saturday evening, the part of Maria Darlington being committed to that very talented and charming artiste, Miss Carlotta Le Clercq. In the opening comedy, Miss Heath, a lady of wricm report speaks favourably, makes her debOt on the public stage. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. All the admirers of national music, taken in a cos mopolitan sense, ought to pay a visit to St. James's Theatre. The airs and melodies of the Tyrolese mountains, the cebrated " Jedel" of the Zillerthal, and the national instrument not only of Tyrol, but of the Bohemian Alps, the " zither," may be heard there to perfection. The company of Tyrolese singers now performing at St. James's Theatre, for a limited period only, are old friends of the English public; on their appearance they were greeted with a friendly round of welcome. The " Hunter's Echo in the Fo rest," and the " Laughing Chorus," were encored, and each individual performance gave the highest satisfaction; the perfect manner in which they keep time together, blending their voices in one har mony, is admirable. Herr Veit Rahm's per formance on the zither is deserving of special notice. The zither is a member of the guitar family —the only difference being that it is laid flit upon the table, is consequently somewhat different in shape, and has sixteen strings instead of four or five. This instrument in the Bavarian and Bohemian mountains, or rather in the valleys they encircle, as well as in those of Styria and Tyrol, is the favourite instrument of the villagers. It may claim as old an ancestry as the harp of Erin, the bagpipes of Scotland, the violin of Italy, or the guitar of Spain. Its tones are wiry and wild, but in the hands of a skilful performer, good zither is capable of giving forth the softest sounds. Sufficient proof of this was given last night by Herr Veit Rehm, who, in his performance of "The Evening Bells," elicited tones as soft as those of the most delicately fingered harp, and notes as clear as his own mountain rills. An Irish air, sung by Herr Rainer, by desire, gave great satisfaction to the audi ence. We do not doubt that at the present moment this novel entertainment will prove most attractive. CREMORNE GARDENS. THE THIRD SAFE PARACHU PE DESCE 'CT BY MADAME POITEVIN, AND ASCEND OF THE _ _ _ LARGEST BALLOON EVER CONSTRIT6T.67 The name of Poitevin has been brought before the public rather invidiously during the past week, at all events it now stands pre-eminent in the annals of aeronautics; for not only has M. Poitevin produced the largest and the handsomest balloon in the world, but he has also rendered easy and safe that which has hitherto been considered difficult, indeed, impossible and dangerous. The inflation of this immense machine (which requires only the ball and cross to render it a very correct representation of the dome of St. Paul's) commenced at half-past seven o'clock on Sunday morning, and at five o'clock last evening had taken about 120,000 feet of gas. Some idea may be formed of its extraordinary ascending power when it is known that, in addition to the aid of 40 men, it requires nearly two tons of sand, distributed through 200 bags, to prevent its ascent till the ap pointed time, which was to have been six o'clock, but owieg to the number of gentlemen anxious to accompany the adventurous and scientific proprietor, and the difficulty of making the English assistants understand the French directions, the ascent did not take place till half an hour after that time, which, it must be admitted, was a trial to the patience of the immense number of spectators assembled, but when it did take place the simultaneous burst of applause from the assembled thousands, the cheers, waving of banners, and distribution of bouquets from the aris tocratic party who had purchased their transit to the clouds, marked the gratification they one and all entertained of the grandeur and splen dour of the ascent. In about five minutes the parachute began to expand, another mi nute passed and the elegant little machine was seen gradually descending, followed for some time by its immense partner, no doubt managed by M. Poitevin to give his party a good opportunity of watching the descent, till, without cscillation or apparent risk, it landed its intrepid occupant in a garden in the neigh bourhood of Clapham-common, from whence she was driven through cheering multitudes back to the gar dens, to receive upon her presentation at the theatre, within forty minutes, the warmest welcome. The party of twenty-five ladies and gentlemen who occupied the car descended in safety in the grounds of Mr. Good • child, of Beckenham, and made their appearance at the gardens by ten o'clock, and testified in very warm terms the delight they had experienced in their trip, and the high sense they entertained of the superior aeronautic knowledge and talent of M. Poitevin. The next ascent will take place on Thursday. The gardens were densely crowded. LECTURE ON SHAKSPERE. Last evening a lecture was delivered by Madame Steinberg, on the Genius of Shakspere, in the theatre attached to the Western Literary Institution in Leicester-square. The subject being one which has almost been exhausted by writers, as well as lecturers, the lady attracted but a small audience, though her merits are of no mean order, an i certainly deserved a little more encouragement. Her language is ele gant, perspicuous, and scrupulously correct, and her mode of delivery easy and emphatic. One great fault, however, she had, if in a lady it can be properly so termed. She is a little too much inclined to hero worship. Shakspere is her idol, and all who venture to insinuate an imperfection in his works or his life are actuated by spleen, jealousy, or vindictiveness. Throughout his whole productions there is not a blemish, error, or defect—they may be read by all with profit and by the most innocent maiden without a blush. Where others find the poet at fault she discovers a beauty, and from every ob scure sentence or expression she evolves a wide stream of light. According, in fact, to her definition, he is not only the paragou of poets, but an imperishable and perfect model of truth, morality, and wisdom. Of course, none dispute the genius of our im mortal bard, but there is a limit beyond which praise defeats its own purpcse as well as de traction. A great portion of the lecture consisted o f a refutation of an article recently published in Chambers's Journal, in which it was stated that Shakspere was not the author of the plays passing under his name, but that they were the production of some poor half-starved student from a foreign country, who was kept locked up by Shakspere, and the emanations from whose transcendent intellect he ap propriated to himself.
