SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT BLACKHEATH.— Yester ?day afternoon an accident of a very serious character took ace on Blackheath-common, whereby a young gentleman, 7 t ed William M ace t on , rece i ved such i n j ur i es, t h at hi s , s i te is at p resent despaired of. It appears that the unfortu nate sufferer, and a few friends residing in the City, pro .,!'eded on horseback to Blackheath, where there were several ir e ll _sand persons assembled to witness various games, and riding., usual fun in donkey-racing ; and, while Maeeton was slowly across the common, towards Shooter's-hill, 4-" other youth, with a very spirited horse, came suddenly nd violently against him, by which means the latter indi -I„klasi, together with his horse, was thrown heavily to the etreund.

SINGULAR ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMEN/..—Yester "Y (Good Friday) morning, shortly before one o'clock, the Various persons passing over the metropolitan bridges, as well as many thousands on the south side of the river, were c onsiderably alarmed at beholding a most singular appear ance in the heavens, which at mete led them to conclude that a most terrible conflagration had broken out in the n eighbourhood of the Old Kent-road, near New-cross, or Deptford. Messenger after nutssenger arrived at the Brigade and West of England fire engine stations, request ing the aid of the firemen to subdue what was supposed to be a terrible fire.

Bedford held an inquest at Charing-cross Hospital on the body of Catherine Sauce, aged five years and eight months, whose death had resulted irons burns received on Tuesday evening. During the course of the inquiry the coroner ani madverted on the practice of parties whose duty it was to summon the witnesses bringing one of the unfortunate pa- Mothers o identify the body. In this case he had seen the seated on the stairs in great grief, t having been obliged to view the body of her child. af terha frequently repeated that it was only necessary to produce some one who had known the child, and it certainly was most unfeeling to harrow the feelings of the parents or near relatives. The beadle said it was no fault of his; he could not know the feelings of the mother ; it was impossible in all cases to avoid s ummoning the parents. It was no onsine ss of his. The Coroner (indignantly)—What, no business of y ours to con sult the feelings of your fellow-beings? Beadle (angrily) ----I have as much feeling as you or any gentleman of the Jury, but I cannot always produce persons who are able to identify. He was proceeding in an excited strain, when the coron er said he could not have offensive expressions used whilst performing his duty, and if the beadle persisted in insulting him, he should order him to be put out of the room. The beadle repeated the offensive expressions, when the coroner directed a policeman, who was in the inquest room, to put him out of the room, which was done. The jury re turned a verdict of Accidental Death. 1 0 alysis STEAM-80AT5...41 ; is d ou btl e ss pr()fi`gble the but not v ery p : tit , u.t to have tots' ats cz,,valcd ts, IT :7 ' day: Several of the up-river boats were observed swaying fearfully from side to side.

B y the Author of "p'ing's Cope, 6-c. 6 , •c 3 Vols. Smith and Elder, Cornhill. After the enillesS variety of tales in which all the personages are of it mature age, it is refreshing alike to the fancy and the memory to meet with a narra tive in which the leading characters are " still fresh with the brightness of youth." Indeed, at the com• mencement they are mere children, but that time is rapidly sketched; and the greater part of the work describes them in their girlhood, just entering on life. Cecil is the heroine, in point of fact, although the mild and impressive Lena casts a spell over all her friends, and her influence extends to scenes in which her pre- sence does not appear. As may he supposed from her style, she is doomed to a melancholy life. A beauty and an heiress, the world is not her rest; she finds no peace in gaiety or bustle, and is glad, after all her vaunted wealth has been snatched away from her, to seclude herself in the country, in the village where she passed the dearly remembered days of her serene childhood. Cecil is a :witty, arch, and mirth loving a vin n e gg a i ry r l l, full of spirits and energy; left an orphan age, surrounded by envious friends, and watched over by jealous relatives, she fights on her own way in the world, which she ever beholds with a smile, although it has been but a sorry place for her. At last she triumphs over her enemies, and is left as happy a s thi s s t ate w ill p e rmit, a consummation all must approve of, for she wins all hearts by her truth fulness and vivacity. Lauri, her youngest sister, is a most original character, and it is to be hoped, a most unusual one. Lady Morland, the scheming mother, is an admirable csricature of those who attempt to cover worldly craftiness by the cloak of religion, and ashamed of their actions, always seek other ex cuses for their conduct. than .the real motive. Lord Hurstrnonceaux passes through a variety of ad ventures, from being a simple - youth at Naples to becoming the heir of one of the greatest dukos In England. His adventures are skilfully deliru when he enters society, and the matcli , uicker beset him. Wherever he goes he is followed, admired, and invited, till in ;leap:: it he retires from the contest sad seeks relief in the country. On the whole the story is of a very entertaining nature, and all must wel come the fresh and invigorating style which charac terises its pages. Life seems as it is, light and shade ; the world appears in its true colours, good and bad ; aed while many mournful occurrences intervene, the spirit of buoyancy and energy is - kept up, the clouds soon pass away from the scene, and the prospect again sh- inis brightly ; Lena was sitting on the edge of a table covered with hothouse-flowers, which she was clipping and arranging in a jar. She was then twelve years old, fair, with that snowy delicacy of shin seen but once in an age, yet there was a pink colour on her cheeks and the tips of her delicate fingers. Her light heir was drawn back into a net which confined it in large silken masses, not shining, it was too soft; it had not that metallic brilliancy often seen in fair hair; it was of the palest straw colour, her eyebrows much darker, her e ye-lashes black, her eyes grey, and sort as ground glass, large, round, and fully opened; her forehead broad, pale, holy ; her features small, her lips rose leaves. She was slight as a reed, and as she tat sideways on the table, the foot and ankle, hanging down, were slender almost to a fault." " Cecil read and worked and played till she was weary, and then she thought she would get Mrs. Payne to show her the old dresses her uncle had menioried. The good lady opened a great carved chest on the first landing, and Cecil seen strewed the floor with brocaded sacques, old point, high-heeled shoes, steel-hilted ra piers, and all the finery of the last century. " With the housekeeper's assistance, she transported what she fancied iuto the state-bedroom, which was graced by the portrait of a great aunt of Mr. Morland, a beauty of the court of Queen Anne, and there she persuaded the good woman to powder her hair, and draw it up over a cushion, and adorn it with buds of rose-coloured and silver ribbon. A brocaded sacque of the same colour, and hoop petticoat of white satin, co vered with large gold flowers, high-heeled shoes of rose colour, worked in silver, splendid point ruffles and apron, and a carved ivory fan, transformed her, Mrs. Payee declared, into the pertect image of the black eyed coquette of Knoller. A few patches completed the effect of the coiffure, and as Cecil looked in the glass, her dazzling eyes and complexion, heightened by the powder, all the beauties of her flue figure, rendered more conspicuous ley the exaggerated splendour of her costume, she could ,not help wishing she might look half as well when she was presented at court iu the spring. " But all this took up a good deal of time, and on looking at the buhl clock on the chimney-piece, she found it wanted only a few minutes of seven, and not caring to keep her uncle waiting while she disrobed, and perhaps not sorry that he should see her looking so very well, she clattered down in her high-heeled shoes, and finding the drawing-room empty, seated herself in an attitude by one of the ebony tables, end wondered whe ther she should be so fortunate as to make her uncle start. But to her dismay, as Mr. Morland came in at one door, Lord Hurstmonceaux entered by the other, and though they both stood still and gazed at her with the utmost surprise., wished herself fathoms deep under the earth." THE SCHOOL FOR FATHERS. An Old English Story. By 'F. Gwynne. Smith and Elder. A curious and original tale, which describes the vain endeavours of' a frivolous and heartless father of the eighteenth century to transform his honest though unpolished son into a fashionable gentleman. Having been educated by his uncle, a country squire, he hid acquired all his tastes and habits, prefering fox hunt ing and similar sports to any town amusements. The melancholy conclusion of the tale is somewhat unexpected, and it points out in the strongest manner the folly of striving to counteract inclinations and habits so decided, and removing those who are happy and useful in their own sphere to one for which they are totally unfitted arid in which they become a laughing-stock to others and a misery to themselves. The following extract shows the opinions of the author : " Fathers! before you put your sons in any particular if you oan, their variou s dispositions, path of life, sturly, characters, talents, and capabilities. How often do we see men in the army or navy, who, bad they been al lowed to follow their true bent, would have made excel lent churchmen or lawyers; and who, on their father's death, quit the profession of arms for more genial pur suits. again, how'otten do we_ see a languishing non chalant clergyman, without feeling for his calling, per rishing with ennui. who would have been a distinguished soldier but for the paternal will which said—' Tnat boy must go into the Church. Then, again, we behold a barrister detesting pen and ink, and close hot rooms, and law-study and practice, a being whose aspirations and talents all pointed to the sea; but his lather's taste pointed to an intellectual' profession, and the boy, without the least loie of study, or much aptitude for it, is dragooned, bon gre mal gre to the bar! You will see such an one, during his vacation, living in salt water-- yachting, steaming, rowing, voyaging in merchantmen, and returning to his gown and wig with a weary heart! Ido not mean that because a boy has read Rohser Crusoe.' as young gentlemen are Wont to pronounce the name, that his enthusiasm is to be gratified by being sent in quest of shipwrecks and Man Friday, any mere than that he should be allowed to be a highwayman—a cha racter for which some boys have a great poichant7-be cause his enthusiasm has been awakened by the life of Robin Hood or Dick Turpin; but it is a cruel eight to see a man's life passing by in the daily avocations of a profession for which he has no feeling—perhaps positive dislike—and to which a father's will condemned him before he could walk or talk! " Young gentlemen's caprices should not bo studied; but their characters and aptitudes are entitled to some little consideration." The hook is printed in the old English type, and the style is lively and pleasing. THE LILY OF ST. P AUL' S. A Romance of Old London By the Author of "Prevethlan." Smith awl Elder, Cornhill.

Few spectacles are more impressive then the repose of a great city. " Sleep, beautiful in the cradle of infancy, or on the couch of youth, becomes sublime when the siumberer is the metropolis of a nation. " Patertos: , r-row ev.,:n at the date of this narrative, '''''' Partly inl;i;eite ' d by the lc ;:titeato precurson of 'lime pa.trutis of livrature who, ilt wore modern times have earned fur the locality a celebrity as wide as the world.

"To describe one of these houses is to describe the general appearance of_ alleea great house or booth, capable of being closed in front with shutters, and form ing a shop, projected into the street from the ground floor, and was overhung by the upper storeys, of which each advanced, in the manner still seen in old buildings, beyend the one beneath, - the: upperme,st being shaded by the fantastic gable terminating the roof. An inscrip tion on the front of the booth - told the name and calling of the occupant, and was, illustrated by a sign suspended over the road. " Such a sign was a gilt rosary next the western end of the HAM it,adorhed booth and shop, along the up per beam of which was written in elaborate old English characters, ' Adam Tynwald, beac:flak& and text writer,' end so denoted an iebabitant whose occu pation was of no small importance in the days when printing was unknown. ,Ita its narrow' sense, indeed, it merely designated a writer of alphabets and primers, a copyist of short prayers or beads, peternostere, and aye maries, and of texts from the missal. Such had been the father of Adam Tynwald. But the present proprietor of the rosary had aspired beyond those rudiments of the mystery of publication. He bad ventured to compete with the Scriptoria of the monasteries in pro ducing more important works. It was true those printing rooms, which contributed so greatly both to the preser vation and destruction of ancient literature, were formi dable opponents to all lay scribes, and had been much increased in number during the current century by the friars; but the encouragement afforded to literature by the polite Court of Edward 111. in some measure com pensated for this diSadvantagc. The romances of Nor mandy were in great vogue, tor there was shortly to be compiled the popular history of .King Arthur, and re• cently. to the horror 'of the priesthood, Wycliffe had adopted the vulgar torgue in controversy, and thereby made apPeal to-filet eornmon sense of mankind which sooaer or later will pass judgment, on alt literature. He loved the works which issued from his hands almost like children, - and parted with them to his customers with a pang. for which the price was but is trivial coml.- deratiou. Each Was utmique, not as now, when the labour of the artist is multiplied a thousandfold and yet remains to himself, but Tynwald's parting was for ever." COURT (.) I) LA WINDSOR, APRIL 9.

GOOD FRIDAY.--1 - 10LID AT 1 xcuasioxs.---Yester day (Good Friday) London and its suburbs poured forth its thousands of pleasure-seekers by the various railroads and steam vessels proceeding to the more favoured places of pub lic resort both above and below the river. The day fortu nately proved propitious, notwithstanding the cold, sharp, easterly wind that prevailed. Gravesend and Greenwich seemed to hold out the strongest attraction. Others of the holiday folks sought the more quiet scenes of Kew, Rich mond, and Hampton-court. Greenwich Park, as usual, was thronged. The preparations for the fair on Easter Monday in the town are of the usual character. At 1-lornsey-wood house the Westmoreland and Cumberland Society held their annual gathering of wrestlers, which was numerously at tended. A similar . display of athletic exercises took place at the Red-house, at Battersea. It may be fairly estimated that upwards of 50,000 perions left London fur the many ob jects of,pleasure, recreation, and amusement. CIIANGR OF,,QUARTE.RS OF TICE LIFE GUARDS....

I t.tke it for granted that you are not aware of his having been formally inhibited by ma from preaching is my diocese. As I cannot for a moment suppose that you would intentionally act in defiance of my authority, I think it right to apprise you of the fact, and to, desire that you will not permit Mr. Gladstone to officiate in your church.

Gladstone, of Long-acre Chapel, is t o preac h i n my c h urc h on the L g or to d 7th of April next. M er y r v 3 Pertait me to mention under what circumstances I have invited him so to do. For ithe last five years I have had an evening ser vice diving the first four days of Passion Week, as my well as the usual service s on Good Friday. It has been any custom to r equest some of personal friends, whose views of d octr i ne were i n acco rdance with my own, to occupy th e pu l p i t on these occa sions. I invited Mr. Gladstone in th e present i ns t anc e, as a personal friend of many y ears ' standing, an d as hav ing, by a sermon which he pr eac h e d at B ow l as t year, rendered himself highly acceptabl e to my congrega tion. Fitkona these consid erat i ons, and in pursuae c e ofau7sed wish hlong previously formed I some weeks ago req Mr. Gladstone's services on the 7th of next month, end not from any intention of disregard ing your Lordship's authority. As, however, your Lordship's letter renders it necessary positio n i n w hi c h it i s un dtplaced, I would simply say that the validity of your L or d s hi p ' s i n hibi t i on as rso d that to advert Mr. Gladstone t o the is against forniing the subject of legal disc uss i on i n t h e C ourt o f Arches, I that think i gentleman your being Lordship a matter of doubt, and will agree with me that it is an open and co n sistent course to me, in a moral as well as a legal point of view, to admit Mr. Gladstone, under existing circumstance, into my pulpit. I would, therefore, hope that your Lordship may not feel it necessary to remark further upon the ar rangement which has been made. Regretting that incessant occupations have pre vented my replying more promptly to your Lordship, I remain your Lordship's faithful servant, (Signed) G. T. DRIFFIELD. The Right Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London. 3. London House, April 1, 1852. Dear Sir,—The question to be settled in the Court of Arches is not whether I have power to inhibit Mr. Gladstone, about which there is no doubt, but simply whether he has disobeyed my inhibition. As you appear to be determined to set my authority at defiance, notwithstanding your each of canonical obedience, I have directed proceedings to be insti tuted for the purpose of enforcing it, and of recalling you to a sense of your duty.

SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL lO, 1852. ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The ship's companies were mustered yesterday by the Commodore Superintendent Captain Eden, and eppeared very satisfactory. They are still short of their fresh provisions; for what with examinations and condemnations and new tenders, great delay has been occasioned in completing the orders. We find one of the messes have followed the examples of the board and declined their stock from one of the most respectable firms. Sir Baldwin Walker, with Mr. ' Watts, and a grea t many p erso ns, visit e d th e s hi ps yesterday. Th e o ff icers h av e been attending th e de monstrations gi ven by Mr. Hay on the galvanic bat teries, manip u l at i ng upon the batteries and charges, to make them se l ves per f ec tl y acqua inted with th e b es t methods of applying this agent to the destruction of the ice, as it was found in fermer explosions that with the Bickford's fusees it was impossible to get a simultaneous fire of the charge, a single one producing little benefit in breaking large masses. It is expected ' great advantage will be derived from a number of charges fired simultaneously on the whole length of ice at the entrance of Wellington Inlet, which issups posed to be about :30 miles long, forming a barrier to the open water alluded to by Captain Penny and others. The plan proposed by Captain Sir Edward Belcher is to plough certain deep grooves from end to eud of theice, and then taking advantage of the state of the winds and tide to carry away the ice, will explode charges from one end to the other, as simultaneously as possible, by fusees, assisted with the batteries. The present board have not only granted the batteries and wire necessary for carrying out Sir E. Belcher's proposition, but, very desirous for its success, most considerably directed their chemical officer, Mr. Hay, immediately to advise with Sir F. Beaufort, and to attend at Woolwich during the short period that re mains before they leave, to assist Sir E. Belcher in arranging his projected plans, and to give every fad lity to all the officers of the expedition who are in terested in this portion of the scheme, by having the benefit of bis long and great practical experience by daily demonstrations and manipulations on the bat• teries, of which they gladly avail themselves as well as the bombardiers. We could mention where the services of the chemical assistant might have been well directed. We have seen no testimony from any che mical officer on the state of the preserved twat , , &c. It appears to us that some of the contractors would have felt better satisfied if their articles had been condemned by practical officers, rather than by medi cal men,as the state of th e p rov i s i ons mus t ari s e from some changes produced by accidental circumstances, which it is the province of the chemical rather than the medical man to ascertan.

The Brighton Railway Company advertised an ex cursion train to Brighton and back at fares of 3s. 6d., ss. 61, and 7s. 6d. each. The holiday folks who were not afraid of the piercing Wi n d mustered in strong force at:the London-bridge terminus, and whe n the first train (down) left at 8 o'clock, A AL, every carriage composing the train was filled with persons of both sexes. The up-trains brought a corresponding number of persons who were anxious to see some of the numerous sights in London. The directors of the South-Western Railway offered to holiday seekers a journey out and in at single fares and a small booking charge. Ttie moment the doors of the station were opened in the morning, a great crowd was in waiting, and the first train down, as well as each succeeding train, until an ad vanced hour in the afternoon, steamed away with hundreds of the metropolitan residents, who were anxious to inhale a hearty blow of fresh air. The number who proceeded to Kingston, Hampton-court, and by the loop line, was larger than on any previous festive occasion, at such an early part of the year. On the South-Eastern line the different trains that left!London-bridge yesterday morning, for stations beyond five miles from town, were literally crowded with passengers. Reduced fares for travelling by this line were announced for Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Monday. The trains on the Greenwich Railway carried an immense number of persons. As usual on such occasions, the numerous fleet of river steamers were brought into active operation by the holiday makers. The Diamond Company's packet, the Ruby, started for the first time this season, and conveyed a goodly company to Gravesend; several frebh boats commenced running to Greenwich and Woolwich. The Chelsea boats ran every ten minutes, and, with the penny Westminster and the halfpenny steam boats, were abundantly patronised. The new steam-boat pier erected on the Snrrey side of Hungerford Suspension-bridge, in connexion with the South-Western Railway, was opened yes terday for the use of the public. The Iron and Citizen Companies' boats continued calling throughout the day, landing passengers for the trams from all places between Chelsea and London-bridge. Passen gers were also ferried by steam-boats to and from Temple-bar-pier and Westminster-bridge-pier Mid dlesex side) for one penny each.
