Among the Sources o f honest pride to an English man is the reflexion that the political unfortnuate s o f the continent may, under the shadow of Our institu tions, obtain protection from the vengeance of even the most powerful despotisirl or from the personal f hatred of the most me r c iless autocrat. Once l an d ed upon our shores, th e re f ugee s of Christendom are f or th w i t h Flared the other St a t es u nder the shelter of the power and heesficence of the British Consti tution. Whatever may be the nature of their politi cal sympathies, they are alike secure of finding safety in England from the wrath of their olitical antago nists.

SUN, was last evening under the consideration of the House of Lords is Committee, and upon its bearing and probable operation thereupon took place a somewhat interesting discussion. Naturally enough the Peers who spoke yesterday upon the subject expressed, we may say unanimously, their solicitude that no in• terference with the generous course hitherto pursued in this respect towards foreigners by England should be permitted, so as to prej u di ce the interest of those morally guiltless unf or t una t es w h o flow to this island from the pursuit of a relentless enemy. The anxiety felt is that none but actual and recognised criminals may ever be surrendered to the demand of a foreign power after they have once eaten of our salt, and otherwise enjoyed the privilege of our hospitality. According to the original terms of the measure now before the Legislature every Frenchman in this country, a 3 Lord CAMPBELL very justly observed yesterday, would have been placed uncondi tionally at the mercy of the French Government. An alteration, however, has been determined upon by the present Cabinet such as may mitigate the severity, and possibly guard against the injustice of the pro po2ed enactment, by requiring that no party whatso ever shall be given up to the authorities of the neighbouring Republic until a certificate has been re. cgived from a juge d'instruction. Acknowledging that so far the amendment was judicious and accept able, the Chief Justice of England expressed considerabl e he s it a ti on in giving implicit credence to any such certificate. Al though, be said, he could not require etudeace a ga i ns t t h e par t y accuse d s t r i c tly a n d tech wally equivalent to what would ba sufficient in our ' 37 v to justify his commitment, still, " unless the Secretary of State took care to exact satisfactory evidence that the party was one who ought to be surrendered, England would los,-e its distinctive cha racter as affording a safe asylum for the political refugees of all notions." An impressive warning, coming es it does from one of the highest and one of the most sap.cioz. - .1 of our legal dignitaries! An other remAtk made last eveulag by Lord CAMMILL upon the proposed measure, evaa when im proved by the sugges!e'cl alteration, ia eminently enti..,!el n - 3,ice, .:as one ilu3trative in a re marl:Able manner cf the'probable and startling ore rBtion of the Bill when traneormrd into an onlct ment.„"Wily,' Ead the No! - Jle and Learned L3rdt "if the prop-_•sed canvention was agra,Nl to, and change of Glverament hereafter took place in France, 'he P.,:aNc.arir...46Erit if he took refuge in Eng;ane, himt3eit be give:in up :moil a mere mairlat d'arra, fold the cm: ctifie qe of a juge dinstruction."

Otherwis , :. Englend,nasy possibly find, in the eud, to her dismkr, that While hurrying; this Surrender of Criminals (Convention with France) Bill tl:roligh PaTiiament, she has lost the brightest jewel in her crown, the prerogaive of mercy. She may dis cover that she - has . deprived herself, through this precipitrAtl enactment - , of the otherwise inalienable privilege of extending the hand of clemency to the political fugitives from th© rest of the nations of Christeadera. She may perceive that through the unexproted operation of this measure she may b 3 actually decoying the unfortunate into a trap by holding out the hand of magnanimity, as she did to NAronrox, and then, as in that lamentable instance, repaying the confidence of the guest by his virtual irnmolation. The Cark Exhibition has opened under the most favourable auspices. The most sanguine anticipations of its projectors and promoters have been fully and completely verified. The experiment has, indeed, been eminently successful, and there can be but little doubt that the r_sulta will be very beneficial, not only to the. metropolis of the south and the adjoining counties, but even to the entire of Ireland. The gentlemen who embarked hand and heart in the un dertaking, sparing neither time, trouble, or expense, have ample cause for self- gratulation at the matured fruits of their labours. Ttie invitations which they addressed to the community were promptly and libe rally responded to. Handsome contributions flowed in even from unexpected quarters, end ample funds were thus provided. Nor were ample contributions of another description wanting. Specimens of Irish productions, Irish manufacturer, and Irish :art, were obtained in great abundance, and to an extent re quiring the erection of a spacious building for their suitable reception. This also was provided with ex traordinary celerity. Two gentlemen of great archi tectural experience and ability devoted their entire time to the labour of love. Within little more than eix weeks, Sir THOMAS DEANE and Mr. BENSON had designed and superintended the construction of a building admirably suited for the various purposes for which it was required, and contaiiing suites of spa cious apartments that reflected the greatest credit on all parties engaged in their erection and decoration. There was no flagging or procrastination. Every man, even to the humblest labourer employed, ap peared to feel as if the entire matter depended on his individual exertions, and that the • honour of his ,country was involved in the issue, and they have had their reward. Thursday, the 10th of June, was indeed " a great day Lr Ireland," and more espe cially so for the inhabitants and natives of the" beau tiful city" which has tok en t h e l ead i n this 'aurae liarly felicitous national movement. We have raid that contributions flowed in from many unexpected quarters. Mr. C. P. RONLY (for merly the respected secretary of the Eastern CountiEs Railway Conapny), a gentleman w h o h as acquieeal an European reputation for his thorough practical knowledge-of the railway system, and ability in developieg traffic to the utmost ex tent, lent his valuable assistance. He can vassed his extensive connexions earnestly and ef fectively, and thus obtained large pecuniary aid. But this was by. no means all or even the most valuable portion of his exertions. Through his influenee the various railway companies in England, as well as in Ireland, afforded every encouragement to the pro , ject. Not only were articles intended for ex. hibition conveyed . gratuitously over the different lines, but a system of cheap fares were pro jected calculated to tempt persons to visit Ireland, and behold its natural productions and na tural beauties' under the most favourable auspices. The steam-packet companies co-operated in a similar spirit. None, indeed, who could advance the great national object were idle or apathetic. Many earned far themselves the thanks and gratitude of the people 0,..! Ireland, and perhaps none more so than Mr. i t° l qEY, to whose energetic exertions we have above alluded. I t Would be impossible to over-estimate the many this peelilia ,: i atmust follow from the carrying out of conceived . n i adea t , f a —riagea a., l i f i e ll eli t felicitous idea, which was originally arid his soz : l p a r w c a m ,n2d u 4 lg r. at j e o d u b s y s tl F r a . , D e A x N - I m EL a3 C vo Z t E w TT o highly respected Only excite patriotic citizens.

We know little of the good people of Cork if the most kindly hospitality be not extendid to every Ferson in any degree entitled to receive V . , so that every facility and oppor tunity may be afforded for unequivocal enjoyment without deduction or drawback, and that the time consumed in the trip may be looked back to with unmitigated satisfaction, and Irishmen and Irish scenes may be hence forward and for ever regarded from a just and accurate point of view. The exa= mination of Ireland, under such circumstances, will be exceedingly useful, while so many tempting oppor tunities are afforded for' not merely remunerative, but highly profitable investment in that country —oppor tunities which have only been neglected through the prejudices to which we have already referred. To every person who has time and money for an excur sion we would earnestly commend the Exhibition now open in the south of Ireland, and we venture to assert that none who act upon our advice will ever regret the journey, or declare that their most sanguine anticipations have not bzen snore than realized by their journey. OVERLAND MAIL BURMAII. We hive received our usual nlegraphie dispatch from Trieste, dated the 10th of June. Oar dates from Bombay are to the 12th of May. Nothing was known relative to the future move ments of the expedition, nor of the enemy's proceed ings in the neighbourhood of Rangoon. An advance of the British troops upon Promo was, however, re garded as very improbable. It was reported that a revolution had occurred at Asa, but the report requires confirmation. On the night of the 14th the Burmese attempted to retv'ke Martaben, but were repulsed with loss. Provisions were scarce end of bad quality. INDIA.

Coulee's annual concert took place at the above rooms yesterday. With all the brilliancy of the most dexterous executionist, Madile. Coulon has an elegance end purity of style, a clearness and deli caey of touch, a truthfulness and intensity of ex preesior, which many an older and more celebrated artist might vainly strive to imitate or equal. That the audience were as much charmed with her per formance as ourselves was sufficiently evidenced by the attention paid to the lengthy yet sparkling, and in passages beautiful, trio in E flat of Shubert (in which she was supported by Sainton and Piatti), sad the rapturous applause and double encore of the Fantasia (Lucia) of Prudent. That Madame E. Garica was encored in. Rode'a air, it is, perhaps, hardly necessary to say. Notwithstanding the dif f ident, we might almost say nervous, manner of Miss Barclay, in that delicious morgeau, "L'addio," of Shubert, the ap plause with which she was interrupted at the close of the first stanza appeared to reassure her, and she pro ceeded with the second with a spirit that rendered more strikingly effective the touchingly pathetic con clusion. Miss Birch's name is a*" tower of strength," and may well pass without comment. The varied and attractive programme included, in addition to the above, the names of Miss Lascell es , Mi ss K ate Hick son, Mr. Swift, Signor Ciabatta and Mr. Freak Bodda. The instrumentalists were : violin, Sainton ; violincello, Piatti; contra brae°, Bottesini, end clarionet, M. Wuille. The whole arrangements were most creditable to the conductors, Signor Bellini and Signor Pilotti, and were evidently highly satisfactory to the numerous auditory, of whom, as seems to be pretty generally the case at morning concerts, the great majority were of the gentler sex. WILLIS'S ROOMS. Mr. Carter Lee repeated his Sketches and Scratches last night at Willis's Rooms. The programme is not constructed upon any regular plan, or with any pal pable Motive, but is !imply a collection of anecdotes concerning mink and its professors; the peculiarities of some of the mott distinguished of the latter being pleasantly portTayed in song and story. Mr. Carter Lee has managed to get together a copious assem blage of wlcinasicaliti , ?s, written or adaptei, it may be presumed;' by bimseF: — He plays on the pienolirte sufficiently well for the purposes of acconapaniment ; and is also a violinis4, a flautis, end a Concertina per former, in each of which capacities he introduces a solo. The phantasmagoria of Alfred Crowquill are pretty thing;.„ ortheir kind, and the spectra steal into shape and evanish with all the precision that the lec turer requires. The rooms last night were fashionably attended, and Mr. Carter Lee was frequently ap plauded during the progress of his labours. CABINET COUNCIL.--(Tms Day.) -- A. Cabinet Council, summoned last evening„was held at the Foreign_ office to-day at one o'clock. There were present, Lord Derby (Premier), Lord Hardwicke (Postmaster-Ganeral), Lord Lonsdale (President), Lord Joba Manners, the Duke of Northumberland, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Henley, Mr. Herries, Mr. Spencer Walpole, Sir John Pack. ington, Lord Malmesbury, the Marquis of Salisbury, and the Lard Chancellor. The Ministers were on the eve of breaking up when we went to press. FEES AT THEIATRES.—A. case of some interest was heard on Wednesday at the Bloomsbury County Court, in volving the right of taking le. as a fee for retaining places for a particular evening. On the 22d of May,:the Hon. Mr. Lyttleton took a stall at the Princess's Theatre, for which he paid the usual price of admission and an additional shilling for booking the place. Mr. Lyttleton summoned Mr. Charles Kean for a return of the is. fee, alleging in person that as Mr. Kean, by his advertisements and bills, held out to the public that stalls were to be had at 6s. it was a con tract with the public for that sum. On the other side, Mr. Lewis (Lewis and Lewis), who appeared for Mr. Kean, contended that the public, by the contract, was to have a stall when the doors were open, and not when a per son went to the box-office and had the privilege of picking out a stall, by which an advantage was gained, and for which a fee ought to be paid. Further it was urged that, as it was a voluntary payment on the part of the plaintiff, he could not in law recover it back ; end, also, that custom sanctioned the charge. The box-office keepers of the several metropo litan theatres gave evidence of the oustom of charging a fee (Mr. Heath) con fi r med t ill he su C e ll h sto c m as , e9 b . y g T i h v e ing L j ea ud rn g e rn d en j t ud fo g r e the defendant with costs of witnesses, amounting to 303., which the plaintiff had to pay. This decision will settle the question—the first time raised—in the theatrical profession. EAST SUFFOLK.—IPtWICA, JUNE 11,--We Un derstand that the prospects of the Protectionist champion, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, have become very far from encouraging to his partisans, a candidate having been started in opposition to the learned gentleman. Mr. Sutton Western, the son of Mr. T. B. Western, of Tattingston-place, in this county, is, we understand, in the field, and as there can be no doubt that he will receive the support of the whole of free-trado portion of the constituency, there is every chance :of his ultimate success. Richard Nathaniel Philipps, Esq , of the Inner Temple, and Moor Lodge, Yorkshire, is canvassing. the borough of Stafford on the Liberal interest. The last state ball of the season will be given at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday next, The Court will proc€ed to Scotland immediately after the dissolution :of Parliameur. M.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which one half was taken on speculation. The market closed firmly.—Railway Shares were better. The increase in the amount of bullion in the Bank of England's coffers is to the extent mentioned under this head yesterday, and it is said the next returns will show a further addition. The circulation, is the mean time, is very little added to, although large purchases of Go vernment securities appear to have been made on ac count of the Batik, and for the purpose of employing its surplus assets, but the increase of public deposits will account for the addition to the circulation of paper:— Notes Issued ... 34,352,260 Increase ... 165,145 ... 3,065,992 ••• 11,036 ... 6,119,961 ... 553,662 ... 13,030,750 ... 151,632 ••• 1,255.847 ••• 13,652 ... 14,174,572 300,000 ••• ▪ 10,697,573 7,072 ••• ▪ 12,666,945 Rest Decrease Public Deposits Increase ...

But instead of giving a his tory of the London rookeries, as from the title we were led to b e li eve, he has rather chosen to trace back certain ecclesiastical palaces, the remains of which are still to be found in S. Giles's and other places of the kind. He describes at length the depravity and want of cleanliness of those who inhabit rookeries and the necessity of their removal, with some statistical ac counts regarding the population and mortality tables ; but on what grounds Mr. Beames attributes the dis tress of needle-women and poverty in general to the rookeries we are at a loss to determine. The de scription of the Great Fire of London, with which the work terminates, is decidedly the most interesting part of it. THE CRICKETER'S MANUAL. By Bat. Bally, Brothers.

THE RECENT COLLISION ON THE SHROFSHIO UNION RAILWAY.—SHREWSBURY, THURSDAY EVENING We regret to say that the injuries sustained by Mr. Thoma s Haughton, wh o was one o f t h e su ff erers by the collision which occurred at the Donning+on Station on the Shropshire Union Railway, terminated fatally yesterday. Mr. Haugh" ton had sustained a fracture of the thigh, but his death iS attributed to a severe contusion on the chest, which produced extensive internal injury. An inquest was held this day a t the Crown Inn, Donnington, before R. D. Neville, Esq., on e of the coroners for Shropshire, and a very respectable PO who, after having been sworn, proceeded to view the body ; after which the inquest was adjourned until Wednesday next, at half- past ten o'clock, in order that all the available evidence might be collected in the meantime, so as to in sure the cause of the accident being thoroughly investigated. The deceased was a mining agent or steward of the Earl of Ellesmere, and came from Lancashire. Mr. Skey, Mr. Tre vethic, locomotive superintendent of the London and North- Western Company, who have leased the line from the Shrop shire Union Company, and Mr. Beech, their manager, who was in the tram at the time, and had a most wonderful escape, attended. Mr. Potts, solicitor, of Chester, also Was present, to watch the investigation on behalf of the London and North-Western Company. REMOVAL OF GOVERNMENT OFFICES —The Board of Health, which has, since its establishment, been locate at Gwyder House, Whitehall; has removed to offices in Pas" liament-street, between the end of Richmond-terrace and th e end of Cannon -street.

The Poor-law Commissioners, who have for so many years held their meetings and offices in one of the c t l i , e ; partments of Somerset-bouse, have removed to erwY„,: e House, Whitehall, vacat e d by the Board of Health. various removals were occasioned by the former contemplated arrangements with regard t o the Inland Revenue-offices, which were about to be removed from Old Bread-street :ono time ago to Somerset-house; but the order was subsequently countermanded a short time before the Government chaog.ew WRITS OF H ABEAS C ORFUS .—Th e H ouse of Legi t; has ordered a return, which has just been printed 013. the ar t . plication of Lord Campbell, showing the number of writs habeas c or p us i ssue d b y M r.

APOTHECARIES HALL. -- The following are the names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thursday, June 10 :—Joseph Hooper, Milton terrace, Wandsworth-road ; Ezekiel John Lock, Barton, Norfolk; Henry Richard Foquett, Newcastle Emlyn, Cardi gan; William Price Jones, Bala, North Wales; John Henry Hewer, Chobham, Surrey ; James R o l ph, London ; Thomas Cockburn, William Damant, Fakenh am, N orfolk; James Balfour, assistant. Guernsey; Benjamin L awrence Hawkins, as an The mercantile advices from Vienna of the Bth inst. state that the favourable alteration in the rates of exchange had been followed by a re-action, the quotation on having again ris en from 11.59 to 12.7. In th advance in the shares of the Northern Railway, which about six weeks ago were at 150, and had now reached 213. This movement had been partly caused by the failure of another speculative operator in addition to one who, after having sold largely, refused a short time back to meet his obligations. Gold was still at 29% premium, and silver at 21. Trade in all parts of Germany continues bad, owing to the de pression in the districts which have been visited with famine. The accounts from Breslau state that the wool fair which commenced on the 3d inst. had terminated after a rapiod sale, during the whole of which the advance ob tained at the opening was fully upheld. This advance was equal to 2d. to 3d. per lb. on fine, and 3d. to 4d. on ordinary descriptions. The French buyers were the most active, and next to them the English and Belgian. It appears that the total quantity brought to market was 55,500 cwt., being a deficiency of 6,300 cwt. as compared with last year, which also as compared with the preceding one showed a falling off of like amount. This coutinued diminution, coupled with the fact that the clip in Austria for the present season has been 12 per cent. below the previous one, was a circumstance that attracted atten tion. The other fairs which would take place in Prussia during the month were expected to pass off well, as the wools offered at them consist of those ordinary descriptions which were most in demand at Breslau. WOOLWICH, JuNE 11.—The 11th company of Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Captain Jervois, Royal Engineers, will leave Woolwich to-morrow morning, and proceed by railway to Portsmouth, where they will embark on board the steam-frigate Sampson, Captain Lewis T. Jones, for Alderney, where they are to be employed on the fortifications. PROPOSED FURTHER RESEARCHES IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS. —We are informed that it is the intention of the Hudson's Bay Company immediately to dispatch Dr. John Rae to the northern coasts of America, to complete various discoveries in those regions. The gallant officer proceeds by way of Chesterfield Inlet to Cape Nicolai—Sir James Ross's farthest in 1831—thence to survey as far north as Cape Bird, Sir J. Ross's farthest in lEso—thus to the complete North- West Passage! Dr. Rae will also search vari us other portions of those inhospitable shores, to set at rest many conflicting statements, and add to our knowledge of the country. The search for Sir John Franklin will, of course, be a paramount object with Dr. Rae. Great credit cannot but be given to the Hudson's Bay Company for their enterprising conduct on behalf of science and for the sake of humanity. Nautical Standard.

The fire which broke out. in the premises of. Messrs-- W. Clowes and Sons', the printers of Duke street, Sterne ford-street, Lambeth, repelled in this journal of yester day morning, was not entirely extieguishrd until last evening. During the confusion which prevailed while! the fire was burning, it was the opinion of the prill• cipels of the firm that 100,000/. would not cover the loss. As soon, however, as the ruins were sufficiently cooled, a minute examination was made by the bri gade officials for the purpose of ascertaining correctly the damage done, the result of which showed that one leer, used as the typo store, and which contained upwards cf 200 tons of type, some of the smallef letter being worth 6s. per lb., had not received near so much injury as was at one time ex pected, Mr. Clowes informed the reporter that the whole of the white paper had been destroyed, as well as the numerous printed and illustrated works in the stores. The Religious Tract Society and the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge have both lost 6. great quantity of property. The former was fully in sured; but it is at present unknown whether the latter was protected by in surance or not. The rapid sprea d o f the fire may be to some extent accounted for from the, fact of the poles in the drying-rooms being covered WWI Jury Awards in sheets, and th e i nstant the flames entered this portion of the premises they rolled over the pleee with the swiftness of electricity. In vain did the fire' men endeavour to cut eff the fire from the other portions of this property; so intense was the' heat that the windows in the letter-founders' casting shops were cracki ng an d t h e frames were scorching, so that it was necessary for the men to disc charge the water upon the last-named premises to Pre": vent their ignition. Had those buildings taken fire+ composed as they were of timber, it is doubtful whether the flames could have been prevented from taking a clean sweep through the whole of the composing and machine" rooms. The hydraulic presses in the front warehouse are also extensively damaged, if not entirely spoiled. Tl)°, whole impressi on o f t h e roya l co i tion of the Illustrated Catalogue, printed for his Royal Highness Priece Albert and the Royal Commissioners, with the aver tion of three or four copies sent to the Prince, hav e been destroyed. Tho Thirty sheet Catalogue, except those sheets sent to th e hot-pressers,is 'likevvioe burnt. The length of buildings destroyed is not more than 90 to 100 Net. One part was three floors high , whilst the front was not more than two stories high, be; the basement contained something like 70 or 80 tong of coals, a condderable p ort i on of which took f i re , a nd added materially to the labours of the firemen. Notwith standing the large amount of property consumed it was Yee terday Mr. Clowes's opinion that. the total loss would be under 50,000/., less by one-half than was expected the pre" vious night. Th e t ota l amount of insurances effected , e` least as far as the surveyors to the fire-offices were able to ascertain, was only 25,0001. The founders, compositors, and e pressmen resumed th e i r employment yesterday morning, 5 that the busi ness o f t h e firm has only been temperarilY re tarded for a f ew hours. Although a most searching iLIV e ? • tigation was made, nothing could be learned as to the origin of the misfortune. 3 7 /. 4 18% 13% 30% 5% 18A 133 148 1 4 29% 36% 30% Pm Pm d
