GEORGE ROBINS feels very great pleasure in intimating to the public that he has been selected by the worthy Proprietor to SELL, by PUBLIC AUCTIoN, on TituasDay, the 16th of July, at Twelve o'clock, at the Auction Mart, London, in lots of one share each, A considerable portion of THE "GLOBE" JOURNAL, a paper of which it is not a little difficult to do justice in the common language of praise. First, it may be well to state the reason v. by a por tion of a paper so deservedly high in the public estimation (and never at any period in a prouder position than at this juncture) should be in the market It is not a little refreshing to Mr. Robins to be called upon for this explanation. THE PRINCIPAL PROI'ItIE COlt, WHO IT IS KNOWN HAS A VERY PREPONDERATING SHARE in this TLE MINE OF WEALTH," and has presided over its destinies for many years, at length has reached the VENERABLE AGE OF ErGHTY-TWO, _ . _ a period of Pre, which is but rarely vouchsafed to mankind, and, although in the enjoyment of excellent health, it may be conceded to the honourable Proprietor, that he should have a few years un alloyed from the daily pui suit of literature and profit. It belongs to him especially to have claimed, through good and bad report, the title to consistency ; indeed he has, without deviation, pursued the even tenor of his course. This Journal has always resisted every insidious offer to compromise its character. It has traversed its beaten path or many long years amid great vicissitudes, but always cheeresi by the knowledge that CHARACTER AND CONSISTENCY IS THE MOTTO CLAIMED 4N WARWICKSHIRE. THE PET FREEHOLD ESTATE OF THE COUNTY, WITH THE MANOR AND ITS EXTENSIVE RIGHTS, THE ENTIRE HMLET OF WILLENHALL. A RESIDENCE. IN THE ELIZABETHAN STYLE ; FIVE SUPERIOR FARMS, - ...750 ACRE, WITH A TENANTRY QUITE UNEXCEPTIONABLE. THIS •FINE PROPERTY APPROACHES THE CITY OF COVENTRY, TS -BOUNDED • BY TWO RIVERS, AND THE . TURNPIKE ROAD DIVIDES THE PROPERTY. IT IS, PE , IDES. ALL TITHE-FREE, AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL. •MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by in structions from the proprietor, to announce for publie competion, at the Auction Mart, Loudim, TO-MORROW, the 16th of June, at Twelve o'clock, hi One Lot, A FREEHOLD Plt. WERTY AND DEMESNE, of which it may well be said it has no fear of rivalry throughout this admired county—indeed, the advantages are so many, and press in such rapid success'on upon the mind of the composer of this very imperiect outline, that it is not a little difficult to state where to begin. However, the effort must he made ; firstly, IT IS DECIDEDLY, FOR ITS SIZE, THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY Tun MOST COMPACT. PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. There can be no scepticism rise out of this asscation. No one can with justice gainsay this high panegyric. It extends to THE WHOLE HAMLET, TOGETHER WITH THE• EXTENSIVE MANOR OF WILLEY HALL, • which is within two short miles of THE ANCIEN: CITY OF COVENTRY. FIVE CAPITAL FARMS, WITH SUPERIOR BUILDINGS AND WARM FARM-YARDS TO EACH, AND ALL WITHIN A RING FENCE, TITHE FREE AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL, extending to about There are SEVEN-HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES OF RICH MEADOW. PASTURE. and ARABLE LAND, entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including - the prolific woo S. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fast that they are paid by a compromise !Milt the LONDON AND BIRMINGHAMRAILWAY COMPANY,. whose line passes through Willeuhall. The soil is of first-rate quality, RS the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact, everything is in the most perfect apple-plc order. A microscopic eye could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it A TENANTRY THAT MR. ROBINS PROCL AIMS CAN NOT BE EXCELLED THROUGHOUT ENGLAND ; AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN - TIIE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRX "THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN AN ARREAR OF ONE GUINEA DURING THE LAST TEN YEARS." - - It may now he asked, "Where Is to be found a correapondlngoaser AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE." . . In respect to the auxiliaries not immediately sought in the shape of income, it should he ,aid THE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD, as also the Bagiuton and Brandon property. There is an abundance of game, and fled sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Sowe), which furnish constant atmisea•ent to those inclined to recreate in fishing. THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably might he improve 4 by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste. There is, besides, one of the faun-horses where the proprietor would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionallyduring the sporting season. The next point requiring a commentary is the rental —it must be premised —there are no leases. The present low rental is 1,550/. a year ; but it is quite manifest that SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR will be conceded as a MODERATE rent, and this should be secured to the PRESENT GOOD MEN AND TRUE, by glvng to each a fourteen years' lease. James Mellor, Esq., who has so long domesti cated with his family on the bill. and whose quiet abode overlooks Coventry and its beautifid ►pires, it would be in bad taste to reflise a lease for his life, although it will probably, and it is to be hoped, be a very long one. Longevity prevails on this healthy property, and some time since this was prov. d by MR. BLUE (close by) retiring into a better world, at the advanced age of 108. Mr. Melor's grounds are beautifully dispos,d, and more especially the wild flower-garden, (under the worthy !ady's especial care), which gives to it a pleasing variety LORD CRAVEN AND LORD HOOD are close allies ; AND THE ESTATE OF TIIE BROTHER OF SIR ROBERT PE F.T., BART. . „ ' is close at hand: The farms are very productive in the sell for white crops, especially wheat and barley, with some - admirable turnip land ; hut as 4airy firms, and to fatten bullocks, they have even a higher claim. The eNitiguity to one of the first mallets in England, and the facility to return manure. whenever the good folks of Coventry are indulged with a portion of the produce of this highly cultivated soil, are ad vantages that a good agriculturist will not overlook. And now, by way of conclusion, Mr. Robins will ask. and with earnestness (taking into the scale the great curiosity that prevails every-where to get into good farms now-a-d ys), if the every day observation, resound hta now from al quarters, that THE AGRICUI:TITRAI. COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT, is not rendered most manifest by the above unassuming recital of facts? The particulars are ready, and will be distrihnted, with a draw ing, on the plan with the Elizabethan Villa, by Mr. Phillips, Jun., of Coventry.

The Proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS regret to learn that the Paper has not always reached the Subscribers so early or so punctually as might reasonably have been anticipated. Their apology is, that the success of the great experiment so far exceeded all expectation that it was not possible to produce the required numbers, even with the most powerful machinery, in time for the Morning Expresses and Mails ; and the number of Post-office orders which poured in made it difficult, and some days impassible, to distribute them among the Trade—so that delays in executing such orders were unavoidable. 'I hey trust, however, that their ar rangements are now so comp eta as to insure the Subscribers against all. chance of delay : yet, as all the respectable News Agents have given to the DAILY NEWS an active support, and many have announced by advertisement their willingness to ,supply the paper for 16s. 4d. per quarter —payment being made in advance—the Pro prietors . ecommend that new Subscribers should order copies direct from a News Agent, and only when there is au apparent difficulty transmit a Post-office order, payable to Joseph Smith, DAILY NEWS Office, Whitefrlars, London.

If it be asked what has been the result, It will cheer and gladden the hearts of those who value the path that has risen this paper to its just pitch of renown to knew that it never was more in public esti ation than at the present nsoment. The next (and with a pur cha-er an importan qu.r , ) will suggest itself; how has its income flu tasted, and what is its present position ? Gladly does Mr. Robins hasten to rejoin, tha he is able to give the fullest sati faction on that and Indeed every othar point. The statement of prod a duritw toe last ten year- , is befire the writer of this announcement, from which he collects the fact, that the Shares RAVE NEVER. ARRIVE!)

PRESENTING BY FAR THE MOST CLASSICAL AND CELEBRATED MONASTERY THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL ARISING FROM THIS FINE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE VALUE OF THE ABBEY AND LANDS IN HAND, AND LEASE FOR LIVES, IS ABOUT 2,000/. A YEAR. IT IS NEARLY ALL TITHE•FREE, AND THE TENANTRY BOTH WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. AN IMPERATIVE SALE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels much gratifica tion in having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Auction Mart, Lordon, on THURSDAY, the 9th of July, at Twelve o'clock. and in One Lot, by dirttction of the tr..s tees for absolute sa!e, one of THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENTS THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest affectation, proclaims that he ap proaches the task with tear and trembling. The only saving clause by which he can well seek to soften the repr"aches of an enlightened and deeply-read community is alone to be hound in the liberty the com poser will take with authors so highly gifted, that he must Indeed be a hold man who will not yield assent to his r.,earches. llugdale is no mean authority, and with this, and a few introductory facts, the herculean task must be approached. TUE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES are to be traced back to a very distant day, and it has ever since maintained its proud superiority over EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND. It is a splendidly grand arid unique building, altogether realising Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey-- An old, old monastery once, and new Still older mansion, of a rich an I are 1111ii'd Goth c, such as artists all allow " Few specimens yet left us can compare. Its classic front EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET. The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may he dated a'qmt the time of Henry VIII. ; but to describe it as It deserves is felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the com poser, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt to do it justice—it indeed THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST, Its fame has been held in the highest veneration from veneration to generation. and it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid the vast variety of monasteries to be sound throughout the country. The first impression on beholding this . ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory ; his mind on the instPnt seemed to be subdued into a most devout and reli gious state —one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound less admiration; it was a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot too earnestly invot e all those who possess a soul con; enial with ob jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ; they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely imwssible it is to convey in su Wb t. terms the panegyric which would tie awarded to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion ; the form prescribed to the length ofan announcement will not ad mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least to the le. rned, and all such as are well veraPd in our history ; and he is fortunately ena'led, by the ass stance of a very highly talented lath', to aid the historical account of Dugdale by elections of her own, and guided by ajudgment and cleverness that has never been held In (bytibt. To gratify the learned and th ,, curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to appe ,, d to the explanatory par ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a beautiful drawing If the Abtay. The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of s It Is on the ho. ders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, acrd Somerset, 15 miles from Taunton, 3 than Chard, about 50 mib.s from Bristol and Bath, ant within a dellgh ful ride of d% hours from London, which the approachin, rahway through Cl.ard will reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty ni.nutes' ride of Ex: ter. The county in which the Abbey is paced will not yield to any otter. The reader needs not be rilnindt d that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks in the selection of tht-ir lands was never questi red, and, amidst all th, good things of this world, they were remarkable for the accuracy of their judgment. In selecting the best of everything*, even THE FAT OF THE LAND was not ACCOUNTED TO') COr/D FOR THEIR REFINED TASTE. This princely property is all freehold of inheritance, surrounded by lawns and pleasure-grounds ' with travelled walks between rows ot umbrageous trees ot great size and ttatelincss, interspersed with or namental seaters, cascades, and waterfalls sparkling with foam, and here and there a statue to diversity the scene The Park. which is one of great beauty, is stocked with deer, whose venison has ob tained the highest celebrity for its fatness and fine flavour, while the soft undulating foliage of its magnificent and TIME-HONOURED TREES is perpetu.*lly deluding the eye into a belief that it was of almost boundless extent, and imparting just such an air of tempered wild ness as would gratify the lover of scenery, without offence to those who are inclined to look rather sir the evidences ot the superintend ing hand of care and cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in crease the charms of a spot so rich in nature's beauties. Of the orna mental waters in front ot the Abbey it is recorded-- Before the mansion lay a lucid lake, • Broad as transparent, deep and freshly fed By a river, which its softened way did take In currents through the caliper waters spread. THE RIVER AXE so renowned by the disciples of Isaak Walton for Its pisc,atory Pleasures and delicious trout, winds, in serpentine beauty, through the fair demesne. Lost for a space through thickets veering, But broader when again appearing. It was hers that The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird. It may st!ll be asked, "Wit AT MORI', C N MORTALS NOW DESIRE ?" The sporting qualities extend to everything a gentleman's heart can contemplate ; by the way, THE DIONKS' CELEBRATED WALK is in high preservation.

It is well kn o wn :ma highly appreciated as THE SEVERN HOUSE DEMESNE, four miles from Bristol and Clifton, on the road to the splendid river Severn and the passage into Monmouthshire. A description of this villa abode is a matter of necessity, but the writer feels that his representation must necessarily he very incomplete, inasmuch, as although it will he conceded that there are to he found a little host of elegant abodes in progressing through the romantic drive of four miles, vat it is confidently stated that there D nothing to present itoif that ran be put in juxta-posit - with izovot-rx nume. Thu position is remarkable for the capability it affords to partake in au unusual decree of the extent, and what may really he justly termed TRANSCENDENTLY BEAM IFUL SCENERY. It would almost vicar the patience of the reader to extend the descrip tion of all the writer saw, and strived to appr,clate, but It Is believed a very few gleanings it ill suffice to call up the attention of all such as would enjoy the pure, unsophisticated air of Gloucestershire, in a villa which it is universally conceded, stands dime both for situation and prepossessing appearance. It is placed on a lofty and beauteous eminence, but the luxuriant shrubberies and Ovulations that encircle it, keep the cold winds at a most respectable distance, and in accomplishing this desideratum, it would appear that fairy laid has been sought to aid the great design. On perambulating through there splendid grounds the views are (en verite) magnificent, and the extent almost without a limit. THE CONFLUENCE OF THE SEVERN AND THE A it l i r s ° q \ uite is immediately in view, and the perpetual moving s cenery i n the dis tance must be seen if the read er desires to app: ec i ate it, for certain this imperfect account will leave an immeasureble host of ob jects entirely olisregarded. Here rising benghs, adorned with summer's pride, Project their aving umbrage o'er the tide; • While. gently perching on the leafy spray, Each feather'd warbler tunes his various lay. The road from Clifton is full of variety, and oa arriving at the Severn Mansit.n, it will be perceived much of ingenuity mit-t have been brought Into the field to accomplish the delightful ascent to be encountered fl•om the very pretty entrance-lodge -gate ; but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety, not to rely ,n anything short of ocular demonstration; as the fame of this residence has extended far and near, it necessarily renders it a work of supererogation and lightens the necessity to go two a more minute detail than this hasty compo sition will furnish. Clifton, the great feature of Gloucestershire, is t c o l o overlook.fe at h a hand, h a e n , n i e b i ec h o b m o u e r s h a o t o l d a itapraornye t t o h a g t o o i it . w re o n u o l N d , p a . n b injustice fortunate occupant prefers quietude and repose to the gaiety that will surround him, he may enjoy it here uninterruptedly. All the great lions of the county are clues at hand. THE FAMED PIERCEFIELD _ . _ is only a short drive, and Barnsville-park. a minor candidate for fame, is not far off, the verdant seenery which interposes itself in the progress to these hichly cominetah,d properties extonds over a vale so rich and lively that its beauties seem to exceed the powers of commendation and be :t remembered all this (mid very much more than has been asserted in this brief analysis) is within four hours' p'easant drive of the metropolis of London. This delightful abode ha. not yet been noticed sufficiently. THERE IS THAT WITHIN WHICH PASSETH SHOW." It is a building or considerable pretensions in its outward flll.` visible signs; and a family, although numbering very many, will dial the most mole aceointno.lation within ; it may be added, that It lacks nothing that can be understood in the comprehensive term of corn ort. The out-offices are most complete throughout, the court yard is worthy of admiration, and a sporting gentleman will find in the stabling and coach houses all that ingenuity can succ;est. The kitchen-gardens are very extensive, inclosed by lofty brick walls. and the soil is exceedingly prolific; the fruit is considered unusually high flavoured. E HOT AND SUCCESSION-HOUSES ___ are quite perfect, and the produce is beyond praise. There is besides A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GARDEN, - - - in excellent taste, and shedding its beauteous fragrance on all around, and THE BOTANIC WORLD WILL GLEAN _ . .. . . ftom these gardens considerable knowledge, the bulbs being a selec tion in great rart imported from Harlem, and of the choicest speci mens that that city is famed for. Thu seem ry everywhere appears interminable, tends to civet a pleasing variety, which again, it is pro claimed, tears nothing by a comparison throughout this far-famed enmity. It is in the midst of plenty, everything very reason altle—the sea close at hand, and Bristol and Clifton pour in their auxiliatics daily. THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO FIFTY ACRES OF ADMIRABLE LAND, in which is Included A SNUG LITTLE FARM-HOUSE AND BUILDINGS, giving to the industrious views of the proprietor a very delightial re source to fill up an occasional idle hour, beside leisure in imwroving the breed of his cattle, thus combining the art of driving away ennui (if it should presume to make its unwelcome appearcnce) from this seat of happy contentment. The pro•:ress to the summit of this QUITE PERFECT BIJOU has been the work of considerable tact and judgment. It is almost imperceptible, arising from the constant occupation of the mind in admiring and beholding the scenery around. The prolific array of American shrubs is seen in proud competition with the plants from Ilarlem. Frnm the elevated spot, in these woods are seen the Castle of Blaze, and the ruins of Mr. Cave's and Ragland Castle ; indeed There is nothing left to fancy's guess, You see that all is loveliness. By way of conclusion it should he remarked that, in spite of wintry winds, the full growth of the Plantations excludes the possibility of its penetrating to the abode, The ensemble to which the Severn Property puts in an irresist ible claim is perfect. It would puzzle ingenuity to discover a solitary fault. It can only be seen on Tuesdays and Saturdays from twelve till five o'clock, and not without a particular and drawing (which will coq one shilling for a party, to be had also of Messrs.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. THE 50111 NIGHT OF BENEDICT'S " CRITSADERS.”—Drary- Iane Theatre on Friday was well attended, extra attractions being added to celebrate the fiftieth night of this popular opera, the composer conducting for the occasion. It was very well executed on the whole, and there were four encores, the brilliant rondo finale, of the two Prime Donne, Miss Romer and Miss Rainforth, included as a matter of course. Mr. Harrison was in good voice; when he sings in a subdued style his voice has beautiful qualitiei. The audience and band cheered Mr. Benedict heartily at the close. It has been remarked that the sure test of an opera's popularity is when the melodies reach the barrel organs. If this be the case, then is the Crusaders one of the most successful productions, for we hear the airs daily in grinding accents. After the opera SignorCastella distinguished himself by a performance on the violoncello, introducing Bellini's " A to o cora," from the Puritani, and the Irish melody, " The last rose of summer,' very beautifully. He has a nice tone, infinite feeling, and good taste. A duet on two pianofortes, executed by Ma dame Dulcken and Mr. Wallace, although it was given in brilliant style, provoked signs of impatience, because it was much too long, in the first place; and secondly, the themes from Halev's Eclair are not familiar to an English public. We heard this duet, which is the composition of Mr. Wal lace, at Madame Dulcken's concert, but did not like it on the first hearing, and still less on the second. It is too wild and incoherent, although it has some clever passages. A certain Herr Eisenbaun, a pupil of Spohr, was announced for a violin solo, but he did not show. Madame Montenegro, a Spanish lady, who has been a Prima Donna in Italy, was advertised some days previously, but her name was taken out of the bills of the evening. The pretty ballet of Paquita con cluded the bill of fare, and Carlotta Grisi created quite a furore by her talents as a mime and her unrivalled powers as a danseuse.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WOOD AND IRON AS MATERIALSI7OITSTRATI:VESSELS. —Several paragraphs have recently appeared in some of the daily journals relative to the performances of the Garland, a wooden steam-vessel, built by Messrs. Fletcher of Lime house, from the designs of Mr. Oliver Lang, jun., assistant master-builder of Chatham Dockyard, which was built for the Dover station, where the Violet and Onyx iron steam vessels, built by Messrs. Ditcbburn and Mare, are also sta tioned. It appears from a recent return made by Captain Mercer, the superintending officer on the Dover station (who accompanied the vessels in their trials of speed), to the Board of Admiralty, that the relative speed and draught of water of the three steamers is as follows. It should be mentioned that each vessel had 22 tons of coal on board, and that the trials were made in smooth water. Garland (wooden steamer), 14 3 knots per hour; draught of water aft. 6 feet 1 inch; forward, 5 feet 10 inches. Violet (iron), speed, 14 1 knots; draught, 6 feet 4 inches aft, 6 feet 2 inches forward. Onyx (iron), 6 feet 6 inches aft, 6 feet 2 inches forward. From this return it would appear at first sight that the Garland is the supe rior vessel, her increased speed being nearly a third of a mile per hour beyond that attained by the Violet, or in the ratio, 43 to 42. She also made the quickest passage on record from Ostend to Dover. steaming from port to port in 3 hours 55 minutes. A little closer examination of the merits of the rival boats will, however, lead us to pause before we deter mine the relative superiority of the Garland. The Garland is confessedly a slight boat, built for one object only, speed, and accordingly her draught of water is less than either of the other vessels. The Violet and Onyx, though built for speed, are also built to stand the chopping seas in the Chan nel. We must have better evidence, the test, at least, of six months wear and tear, before we accord the palm to the " oak" over the " iron gnome," or pronounce the Garland to be a better boat than the Violet. The former is, not withstanding, a good boat, and reflects great credit on her constructor. THE GREAT BLAST AT DOWNHILL. —The Be f as t Chronicle gives the following account of this affair :—" This much looked-for event came off on Saturday, and was completely success ful In the early part of the day vast numbers flocked to the place from all parts of the neighbourhood and placed themselves in groups on various eminences commanding a view of the operations. Eight steamers, from different places, one the St. Mungo from Belfast, conveyed to the scene of action numbers of scientific men anxious to witness the powerful effects of the heavy charge of gunpowder on the solid rock to be cleared away fur the rail way. Three flags were raised on a prominent situation to mark the progress of the operations. The taking down of the first was the preparative ; the second indicated that all was in readi ness, and when the third was struck and a gun fired, the galvanic battery was applied, and immediately, with a booming noise, the tremendous mass of rock, heaving outwards, lay prostrate under the powerftd agency skilfully applied to it. Great cheering from the spectators succeeded the blast, and several bands of music struck up triumphant airs en the occasion. A numerous company of ladies and gentlemen assembled soon after in the adjoining large tunnel, where a cold collation and abundance of choice wines were prepared, and in this romantic spot, brilliantly lit up, hilarity and good humour pre vailed for several hours. Toasts and sentimeuts in honour of the oc casion were the order of the day, and many appropriate speeches were delivered to the suPcess of the undertaking."

On Friday, previous to the Pacha leaving Mivart's for his round of visits, he gave an audience to Mr. Brettell, who was introduced to his Highness by Colonel Bonfort. The carriages were ordered at twelve o'clock to con-ley the Pacha and party to the Museum of the Society of Arts, in the Adelphi, to witness the annual distribution of prizes. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the president of the Society, was to have taken the chair on the occasion, but was prevented from a slight accident in the early part of the morning, by which His Royal Highness's ancle was injured. The Pacha, attended by Major Dickson, and accompanied by General Ibrahim Bey, Colonel Bonfort, M. Carabet Effendi, and M. Nubar, interpreter to the Prince, proceeded to the Society's institutiox shortly after twelve o'clock. On their arrival, the Secretary, Mr. A. Aiken, and the following actin g Vice-Presidents—Messrs. P. M. Rojet, D. Pollock, W. H. Bodkin, M.P., J. Ashton Yates, R. Twining, T. Webster, and W. Fothergill Cooke, received his Highness. The Pacha was elected a member of the society. His Highness being proposed by Mr. B. Roche, and seconded by Dr. Rojet. Ad miral Sir E. Codrington presided in the absence of Prince Albert. His Highness returned to his hotel before the business had concluded. - At three o'clock, agreeably to appointment, Mr. Daniel O'Connell, M.P., waited on the Pacha to have an interview. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was introduded to his Highness by General Soliman Pacha. The conference lasted nearly three-quarters of an hour. His Highness did not grant any more audiences on Friday. The Pacha next went to pay return visits. He was ac companied by M. Nubar, and attended by Major Dickson. His Highness called on his Excellency Count de St. Aulaire, at Hertford House, and his Excellency Count Dietrichstein, at the Austrian Embassy. He also went to visit the Duke Sotomayor, but his Excellency was absent from town. His Highness also visited the Earl of Jersey, Viscount Canning, the Duke of Bucclench, the Earl of Ellenborough, the Earl of Haddington, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladetone, the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Somerset, the Earl Delawarr, and the Earl of Dalhousie, and then repaired to his hotel shortly after five o'clock. . The congratulatory visits to the Pacha were very nu merous on Friday, the following having called at the hotel to insert their names in the book kept for that purpose :—Dwarkanauth Tagore, the Duke of St. Albans, the Marquis of Aylesbury, the Marquis of Ormonde, Vis count Palmerston, Earl Grey, Lord Brougham, the Earl of Denbigh, the Earl of Sheffield, the Earl of Enniskillen, Ge neral Lord Aylmer, Lord Polsvorth, Lady Peel, Viscountess Hardinge, Chekib Effendi, the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires ; Ad miral Sir E.

All the requisite arrangements were completed on Friday by Major Dickson for the illustrious Pacha's departure for the manufacturing districts and Scotland. His Highness, at tended by Major Dickson, and M. Nubar, left Mivart's at 5 o'clock on Saturday, by railway for Birmingham. We learn that the Pacha intends to occupy ten days or a fort night in going over England and Scotland, and then returns to London, to remain about three weeks. Several of the leading nobility have sent invitations to the Pacha, all of which he has been obliged to decline until after he returns from the north. General Soliman Pacha and the other members of his Highness's suite are to sojourn in town during the absence of the Pacha. The General will most likely leave for France en route to Egypt at the close of the this week. THE GRAND DUKE CONSTAN TINE OF RUSSIA. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—This morning at ten, his Imperial Highness, accompanied by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Flag-Lieutenant H. G. Morris, Baron Brunnow, Colonel Wylde, the Russian Admiral, and the other officers of his suite, left the Admiralty House for the King's Stairs, em barked in the Admiralty barge and went on board the Fanny, Master Commander Allen, the yacht of the Commander-in- Chief, which beautiful vessel his Highness appeared much pleased with ; from the Fanny the imperial party proceeded on board the Wyvern schooner yacht, the property of his Grace the Duke of Marlborough. From the Wyvern, his Highness and party proceeded on board the Lightning steam-vessel, which, with Sir Charles Ogle's flag at her main, and the Russian ensign at the fore, then proceeded out to Spithead, and down the Solent to Mede's Hole, where the royal party disem barked at noon, and went to inspect the palace at Os borne. From thence the Grand Duke and party proceeded to Cowes harbour, to inspect the yacht built for the Emperor Nicholas by Mr. Joseph White, which was launched on Wednesday. After this the august visitors re-embarked on board the Lightning, and made the circuit of the Isle of Wight, landing at Alum Bay for refreshment. The imperial party returned into harbour about six o'clock. A grand banquet and ball takes place this evening at the Admiralty House, to which the elite of these towns and neighbourhood are invited. The ball-room is most tastefully fitted up7with flags and festooned with evergreens and beautiful flowers, the Russian Imperial Eagle supporting on either side the Russian ensign at one end of the room, and the Royal Standard of England at the other, the whole presenting a coup-cf cell of the most pleasing character. Colonel Wylde returned to town this afternoon. Much dissatisfaction is expressed among the inhabitants here, at the circumstance of a number of the metropolitan police being sent down to patrol the streets in plain clothes, and watch and scrutinise every one who passes them, to see if he is a Pole; even the Admiralty House shares in the general suspicion of conspiracy, all its avenues being guarded by "detectives." The intended hospitality of the officers of the navy at this port has been checked by the Grand Duke's refusal to partake of it ; thus Sir Charles Ogle will also be prevented from accepting the invitation of the committee, as he must remain at home to entertain the Prince. The proceedings of the committee are suspended in consequence of these unexpected drawbacks; but on the return of the Lightning this evening a deputation will wait upon the Russian ad miral, to know if he will honour them with his company, together with the other officers of the Russian squadron, to whom also a deputation will be sent, when, if they ac quiesce, the entertainment will proceed ; if not, it will be abandoned. _ . - - It7is ;;;ected the Russian fleet will not remain many days longer, an order having come down from the Treasury to-day to work extra hours to. morrow night to get 000 bags of bread from the Clarence.yard for the Russian fleet (now the sole occupants of Spitbead), from which it is inferred .the ships will sail in a day or two. The police force from London was augmented to-day by extra members, on account of the ball this evening. We understand that the names fixed upon by her Majesty for the youthful Princess are " Helena Augusta Victoria," the sponsors being her Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, and his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. The Duchess of Orleans is a near relative of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and, as a Protestant, is the only member of the French Royal Family who could perform the duties of sponsor to an offspring of our Royal House.—Times. which OFFENCES IN THE PARRS.—On Friday, the usual statement of offences in the Parks committed during the past mont it h was posted at all the princ ipal par appears that during the past mo nth of May ten persons have been convicted of plucking flower sianddamagingn trees . and fronich shrubs rom . 6d. 8., tenc ed namely, seven in St. James's, and f three 2sin the to G lO en or sen Park, all of sumsardlabour, varying to from three to seven days eac h. wh b o e m itu w p e ri re tjon fl od ned , GRASS UNDER TREES.—By sowing nitrate of soda i n small quantities in showery weather under trees, a most beautiftil v erdure will be obtained.

DEATH WHILST BATHING.--On Friday morning, about three o'clock, an accident occurred which proved , fital to a man named Reath, residing In Old Gravel-lane. The poor fellow was bathing off Union Stairs, Wapping, and was about returning to the shore, when he was suddenly seized with cramp, and he immediately sunk. A Thames police-constable picked him up directly afterwards, and conveyed him to the Turk's Head, Wapping High-street. Mr. Cooke, surgeon, was immediately sent for, who applied the usual remedies to restore animation, but without effect. LONDoN FEMALE PENITENTIARY.—On Fiiday the annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this institution, was held at the asylum, Pentonville, the Earl of Chichester in the chair. Apsley Pellatt, Esq., read the report. It appeared that during the year there wore 157 inmates, 62 of whom were either placed out at service or otherwise provided for, leaving under the care of the in stitution 95 penitents on the Ist of last April. The receipts amounted to 2,6731., and the expenditure left -a balance of 851. 17s. 7d. • Sir George Rose moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Faulkner, and carried nem. Cm POOR MAN'S GUARDIANSOCIETY A public meeting of those friendly to the objects - of this Society was held on Friday night, in the theatre of the Literary and Scientific Institution, Westminster, in °Dive quench of a requisition signed by 160' of the ratepayeee and householders in that district. J. L. Eworr, Esq., having taken the chair, stated that . the object of the Society was mainly to procure for the poor the humane administration of the law, an object which was benevolent and most wo r thy o f th e gentlemen who had taken it up. He said the right of the poor to relief was as well founded and clearly discerned as the rich man's right in _ property, and that a poor man when plunged into needy cir ■ cunistances ought not to be left to beg as an elms what nature had given him a right to. ' For it to be otherwise than this would be a disgrace to the country. If the object of the Society should be followed out wfi. l l earnest perseverance, taking care that the poor received what he had a right to on the one hand, and on the other providing against the poor man in any case overrating his claims, the Society would become a blessing to the nation. And he thought that a society so upheld, and straggling fbr such objects, would exercise great influence in the ameliora tion of the circumstances of the poor, and lessening the dis tance which was unfortunately growing between the two great classes of the community, the rich and the poor. As for Westminster, he should not expect that the Society would require to exert its functions very severely in reference to the administration of the poor-jaw in that city, for he wished that an equal care at least were taken -of a imn t r s own nu the poor in other parishes. In that he spoke from experience as chairman of those who had the of the poor-law in Westminster in their han ds,n a t oti t he m same time he heartily concurred with the nature and objects of the Society. Mr. COCHRANE was then called on, and recounte'd the operations of the Society, - an account of which has alre:dY appeared in the columns of The Sun. He stated that a mai; in Marylebone applied to get admission into the workhouse there, but was refused unless his wife and daughter also came in. This he would not consent to, and after renewing his application without success, horrified at the idea of at length becoming a burden on his wife and daughter as he was by this time old and infirm, went and hanged himself. Mr. C. then referred to the case of the woman Gardiner, who was ill used by Ann Lynch, and to that of Mary Jones and Mary Smith, who were assaulted by the officers in the union workhouse at Peckham. He added that seven or eight days ago a policeman and Mary Smith called on him and gave him a fidl statement of all that had occurred. She said that a relieving officer of the name of Evans gave her 3s. 6de c ig, a ,le i t n auh e ait o n n i f tw o o r asr re-he a ri ng ~,.reoern and said, "Now you leave London, and if you ever return you will be taken up and imprisoned three months for taking a bribe." This was stated at the Lambeth Police on the 9th instant, and e s i o o u i : t ,i,ttt:dthfror,l7.,alt,,atthetb,te,,sm hteh The result h s eocit cas e wt It gratified him to state further, that the officers of the Cam.- berwell workhouse, somewhat beyond their rules and regu lations, kindly offered to take the woman in and protect her till the ends of justice should be obtained. Lord DUDLEY STUART then rose to move the first resolu tion. His acquaintance with the Society was very slight, but he thought that, without any very laboured study or long cogitation, its objects would commend themselves as worthy of public attention. But its great object was to enable the poor man to obtain his rights, and that he thought was one of the noblest that could' be offered to a meeting of English men. The new poor-law was, no doubt, an improvement on the old one, but under it he had too good reason to believe that many grievances existed. It was gratifying on that account that a society of individuals should unite, not so much to support the poor by contributions of money, as to enable them to gain those rights whieh were acknowledged by the law of the land. There were good points, he thought, in the present poor-law, many good points, but he was aware that it was avoided in many instances by mal-administration and by the ignorance and melty of officers. To protect the poor then against ti..ese unjust deprivations of their rights this Society existed, and therefore he was happy to give it all the aid he could; and knowing that it could not be carried on without means, espe cially at first, he would very gladly subscribe 51. His Lord ship added 2/., a donation from Mr. Frederick Pigou, and stated that Mr. Pigou, a great friend of humanity and the poor, was only prevented by ill health from being personally present at the meeting, fur he had warmly commended it to his Lordship's attention. His Lordship concluded with moving— " That this meeting agrees with the resolution passed at a public meeting of our fellow-citizens, that the poor ought to lee relieved in the spirit of kindness, more especially when they have for years been usefully employed in the parish to which they are compelled, from infirmity or old age, to apply in the hour of necessity." Mr. J. S. BUCKINGHAM seconded the resolution, which was put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. Mr. GEORGE WiesoN, one of the governors of the poor in Westminster, moved the second resolution. He said he sup ported the Society because he thought the deserving but neglected poor should have a refuge and an opportunity of appeal. He hoped the Society would not confine its exer tions to cases in which the relief allowed by the law was re fused, but extend them to those in which part of the popula- tion were lowered in the scale of being by the neglect and improper conduct of those who ought to exalt them. He concluded by moving— " That, from the impossibility of the poor and destitute obtaining for themselves any redress against neglect or wil fulness from the officers or others appointed to dispense the existing laws, this meeting deems the establishment of the Poor Man's Guardian Society a benevolent and useful work in the cause of humanity, and worthy of our co-operation and individual support." Mr. BURNS seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Lord RANEL•GH moved— " That all persons present disposed to unite and subscribe in aid of the objects of this Society enrol their names as members this evening." Some other gentleman addressed the meeting, which, after passing a vote of thanks to the chairman, broke up. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM 017 R OWN CORRESPONDEN ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTE LLIGENCE.

THREE BROTHERS POISONED BY A SISTEII.—The Wexford Independent of Wednesday states that an Friday last three brothers, named James, John, and Michael Cullen, residing at Kyle, died from the effects of arsenic ,, which they had taken that morning in their breakfast. An inquest was held, and the jury returned the following verdict:—" We find the deceased came by their deaths in consequence of having taken poison in stirabout, but how or by what means administered we are unable to say." On Tuesday, however, the mystery was cleared up by the confession of Mary Cullen, the unmarried sister of the unfortunate young men deceased, that she wait the pergon who pat the poison into the food by which they came by their deaths.

THE LATE FATAL COLLISION ON THE MERSEY.--• ANOTHER DEODAND AGAINST THE SEA NYMPH.— LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—Last evening the inquest on the thirteen dead bodies which were taken from the Rambler and landed on the Cheshire side of the river was concluded.

There was a dividend of 2001. given against the Sea Nymph in Liverpool, thus making a total deodand of 7001. This will, there can be little doubt, decide the question also as to the repair of the Rambler, and it is rumoured that there is an in tention on the part of the owners of the Sea Nymph to resist the claim. Both vessels are now ready for sea again. About 1601. have been subscribed for the relief of the sufferers who survived the collision. THE T.
