Thy noble form and structure has gained all countries praise, And well they'll long remember thy brilliant busy days ; Oh ! Yes, they well remember when first they thee beheld. When through thy vast dimensions the organ's music swell'd ; When gold and every brilliant which human hands could find, With mighty works of skill and taste were everywhere combined ; And now, in spite of all the stir, the bustle, and the toil, They'll think it a great pity if removal should thee spoil. Thrust, and squeeze, and tug, and throng, they would again ehdure, If sacrifices such as these could similar sights procure ; But noble architectural pile, though brittle House of Glass, There wid remain a famous House, which none can ere surpass, Where ornament, and skill, and taste, is always so displayed, That greater, in , re enduring fare, than thine will it pervade. That House has many spacious parts, each stored with gems of taste, And splendid cloths of various shades to every fashion's traced. All these for Exhibitions great, E. MOSES has designed ; On Expositions such as thine they've marvelously refined. But fret not, wasted structure, though Palace was thy name, Two Palaces, more durable , shall still prolon g their fame DIiuNLDGATE and in OXFORD-STREET, each famed for style and grace, MOSES and SON, by fashions new, maintain their famous place, Where SUMMER DRESS for every class, designed for young and old, All previous seasons inE theiOSEr sty S ANDles excel a h .N undredfold. .

The Cornwall Railway will complete the trunk line of communica tion between London, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Falmouth, and Pen zance. The; length of the line will be 63 miles, extending from Ply month to Truro and Falmouth, joining the Sou th Devon Railway at Plymouth, and the West Cornsvan Railway at Truro. It received the sanction of Parliament in 1846; the works were immediately com menced; about seven miles Of the line wera in a very forward state,y the land for which was purchased and pa id for. when the monetary crisis of 1847 compelled the directors to suspend the works, and put an end to the contracts which had been entered into. r e d T a h c e e t p t r p e r s t e c n e t alteredat which s r ta a t i a f y t I t i r e o m r kosne are y mar new being g a n e d x ec t a h t e e d g , re h a a t v l y e just fled the Directors in submitting to their Shareholders a scheme for a large reduction in the capital of the Company, and the aban donment of .bargairlaccheetsvendot.hlieltesalyactotoytitelcotfaitihiemmpreodpirattectorreytu,r. w n aa This stib.. s n c iil e te n d e t h o a the Board of Trade, who, by their warrant, dated the t 2 0 61. 1 h 1 0 2 f 5 ".1 ,0 f 6 5 , r i c h. , related by the r ced the ,rr sharecapital aaatb fromeeatv d l , i 6 d o e o d , O t O n O to l. This capital h ave r eha 56,253 shares of 20/. each - assigning to each holder of an original share of 5 1. two shares of 201. each ; and of an original share i, of 25/., one share of 201.; thereby reducing the liability of the shareholders 20 per cent. ; all sums of money which have been paid up on the 51/. and 251. shares are to be deemed to be paid up on the 20/. shares, which are substituted for them, amounting to 3/. 15s. per 201. share. The importance of the line as the last connecting link between the metropolis and the extreme western ports of Falmouth and Pen , zance will be apparent. Falmouth, it is well known, is the port of call for a large propor tion of our homeward bound shipping ; 1,324 vessels have called there during the last year. The construction of the railway, and the . extensien_of the electric telegraph would be of immense.import since in the transmission mails, passengers, *React, enc.% and -communication Thefween the first chanDet p 1 parts of the empire. The dangers and delays of the channel navigation are , well known to nautical men, and are immensely increased after having passed the Lizard. 'Falmouth, immediately within the Lizard, offers a safe port accessible at all times, and in all weathers, and most easily protected from hostile attack. Cornwall is well known throughout the world for its mineral wealth, abounding as it does in mines of copper, tin, lead, iron, and other metals; a large proportion of the capital embarked in these undertakings is provided by parties living out of the county. The importance of the line to all persons so interested is obvious. Its fisheries, which admit of unlimited extension, furnish supplies to the home and foreign markets. Its early vegetable productions are even now sent to London, and other parts of England ; and Cornwall will become the garden for the supply of these articles when a railway can secure their fre quent, uninterrupted, and rapid transmission. Penzance, Falmouth, and the various watering-places along the line of the Cornwall Railway, will be eagerly sought by visitors and invalids, as soon as the railway shall be extended into the county. The population is remarkably locomotive in its habits, and the large amount of local traffic attracts the attention of all persons 'Visiting the county. The construction of the line involves no engineering difficulties, or extraordinary works, and the directors have offers from responsible contractors to take and complete the whole of the works at the price stated in their engineer's estimates. From the experi -nee obtained in the construction of the West Cornwall Railway, the Directors have every reason to believe the line will be completed considerably within these estimates. The traffic estimated at different periods, and compared with that now realised on the South Devon line, at the eastern extremity, and the West Cornwall at the western, warrants the Directors in stating their firm oelief that a revenue will be realised, which will yield a high per centage on the capital to be expended. The landowners are very favourably disposed, and will part with the land which may be required for the line on very advantageous terms. Several large landowners have already consented to take up the value of their land in shares. The importance of the line in a national point of *view has been recognised in Parliament ; and very recently by the Treasury and by the Admiralty. The Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Companies are largely interested in the Company. The Directors having resolved to offer to the public a limited num ber of forfeited shares, at a discount of 3/. 15s. per 201. share, on pay ment of 15s. per share—being the call now made, and making - 4/. 10s. per share paid up -h ill receive applications for such shares in the undermentioned form, addressed to the care of Messrs. F. W. Thomas and Sons, 53, Threadneedle-street, until the 25th of May instant. The incoming Shareholders will, in addition to this discount, have the advantage of the land already purchased, the works executed, and the Act of Incorporation.

The Cosa• mittee divided :--__ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - SIR,—In the following list of the probable starters . and riders for the ensuing Derby," although I have but little doubt it will be found to be tolerably correct, yet in some respects it will naturally be otherwise, especially with regard to the jockies, many of whom as yet are not regularly engaged, and several depend entirely upon the claims of their first masters, who have not yet made up their minds as to the starting of some of their horses, who in reality possess no earthly chance of win ning. For instance, if Mr. Bowes claims Butler for Daniel O'Rourke, of course Lord Orford will have to find another jockey for Alcoran; and should Nat mount Harbinger, Rogers will ride Kingston, and Pettit Maidstone, but if Templeman backs Harbinger, Nat will be upon Kingston, and Rogers on Maidstone. There are several other doubtful mounts, but I have compiled the best list I possibly could at this early period, from, in some respects, rather scanty materials. Before giving the almost certain list of starters, I will just name those horses which may, or may not start, and which form the third class to which I referred in my notes of last week. I was unable then to say whether this class would send a few starters or not, and shall continue in a like uncertain condition for a day or so. The following list includes all the doubtful starters: — Phantom, Poodle, colt by Harkaway, colt by Hetman Platoff, Golden Age, Filius, Father Thames, Vortex, Hierarchy, Northman, Womersley, Peppermint, Ma sham, Sackbut, Daniel O'Rourke, Princess colt, King Fisher, and L3pidist. In the following list will be found the names of the candidates with their jockies and trainers, viz : Lord Orford's br c Alcoran—Beresford—F. Butler. Mr; Dorrien's bl c Chief Baron, Nicholson-Ducker — Kitchener. Mr. Stebbing's oh c Alfred the Creak—Stabbing—Fonn. Mr. Merry's br c Hobble Noble—Saunders—Whitehouse.

LEEDS NORTIIEEN RIILWAY. — On Saturday last, an important extension of the Leeds Northern (late Leeds and Thirsk) Railway. was formally opened, with the usual manifestations of rejoicings and festive ceremonies on such cessions. The new portion of line opened is nearly thirty miles in length, extending from the Melmerby station, Ripon and Thirsk, to the port and town of Stockton, in the county of Durham. A further extension of the com line to Hartlepool, about twelve miles from Stockton, pang's will be opened on the Ist of June, and then the Leeds Northern Railway will form a direct communication between two of the most rising ports on the north-east coast of England and the manufacturing districts of the Weet Riding of Yorkshire an d the whell ?f, It V . 4 46 )1i k) 4‘,,01t lir•2l / - ) t ,„, .0. •, ~, • dcy,- , 7 " - , tio - 0 nr-4 I — - )1, 1 .

The Constitutionnel publishes the letter of General LAMORICIERE, by which he refuses to take the oath of fidelity to the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic. The letter, which is addressed to t 4 Minister of War, and dated Brussels, 14th inst., it at follows t— " General,—T orn f rom my h ome , th r own into prison, proscribed in contempt of the l aws, I did n ot believe you wourd have gone so far as to ask me for an oath of fidelity to the man whose power, usurped by violence, is only maintained by force. "But a document emanating from your department contains a paragraph which evidently applies to the Ighheoenseoerbewlilgshaowtrihoconsihdoeafvienthuebeeoelagntihu. Belgium Two i o sh r e e d, and imposes on them p m ly on to th t s hi are seu a m ll m ow o bn ed .s. to "I hear it said on a ll s id es that the oat s h 13 not Ind. ing towards one who has not kept his own. Widely as this doctrine is now used, I reject it. Delay Ido not require—the oath I refuse. " I know the consequence of my resolution. Twenty nine years and a halt passed i n t h e army, thirty - si x campaigns resulting from 18 year s ' war i n Algeria (f rom. May, 1830, to January, 1848), some services rendered to France abroad and during the fatal days of June, 1848, services which, perhaps, are not yet forgotten—all this will be reduced to nothing, I shall bo struck out from the lists of the army. Once more it will be proved that rank is at the mercy of arbitrary power. That rank was made the patrimony of the officer by the law of May 19, 1834; he could not lose it but by the sen tence of a court-martial. That law is trampled under foot by a Government which respects neither person nor property. " Thus the sword which I had devoted to the service of France is about to be torn from my hand. What could Ido with it under such a Government? But if— which-God forbid—our frontiers should be threatened, I would bastes to resume it, and to fight for national in dependence, for history sufficiently tells me that in pre sence of extreme dangers, brought about by ambition, despotism does not require an oath from brave men, who march in the defence of the country. (Signed) " General DE LAMORICIERE." The Presse, in its weekly commercial review, says : " The retail trade of the capital has profited largely by the presence of the number of strangers who came to see the fetes. A great quantity of goods was sold in the shops, and almost every branch of business has been benefited by the influx of sight-seers. The trade of Paris had need of this favourable circumstance, as for several months past the manufacturers of the departments had been better treated, as far as commands were concerned, than the articles made in Paris, where the revival of business was only partial. The foreigners who lately arrived, and in particular the English, have made consi derable purchases. As to exports, they have been late this year, but the steamers which have last arrived from the United States have brought over orders for French goods. The mercantile position of the United States has much improved within the last six months. It may be remembered that in 'February the advices from New York announced so great a glut of goods that forced sales were effected at from 40 to 50 per cent. of loss. But the last letters from North America are more sa tisfactory. A great part of the goods on hand had been disposed of in the interior of the country, end the Ame rican dealers, now requiring new supplies, have sent over large orders, particularly for the goods manufactured at Rouen and Mulhausea.' The proceedings of the Legislative Body on Sa turday were not of any great interest. The President informed the Chamber that he had received from the Minister of State a Bill tending to modify certain articles of the Criminal Code, relative to crimes com mitted by French subjects in foreign countries. This measure was sent to the bureaux for examination. M. LANGLAIS (de la Sarthe) then read a supplemen tary report from the Committee on the Convict Re habilitation Bill, relative to the amendment adopted by the Legislative Body in the sitting of May 3, and since then agreed to by the Council of State. This document was ordered to be printed and distributed, the discussion being postponed until afterwards. General PARCHAFFE next read the report from the Committee charged to examine the Bill calling out 80,000 men from the class of 1852. The Com mittee, he said, was altogether in favour of the mea sure. After a report from M. SEVERIN ABBATUCCI-, and ,another report from M. ALFRED LEROUX on Iseveral Bills of local interest, the House adjourned after a short sitting, at four o'clock, to Tuesday. We read in the Courrier du Havre :—" It is po sitively stated that M. PROUDUON, having obtained from the PRINCE PRESIDENT the remission of his punishment, has arrived here, and is about to embark fur the United States. It is, it is said, on con dition of his quitting France that he was set at li berty." We read in the Patrie—" The banquet offered to the sub-officers arose from a happy inspiration of the PRINCE PRESIDENT. After the theatrical perform ance at the Tuilieries on Wednesday, the PRINCE said to General MAGNAN, ' General, an idea has just oc curred to me. We of the grand epaulettes have to day had an exquisite dinner, why should not the galons enjoy themselves as well as the graines cf epinards ? Can you lend me for to-morrow your splendid room at the Ecole Militaire ?) Ten minutes afterwards CHEVET received an order for a dinner for 3,000 persons, and the next day all the delegates of the army drank the health of their noble enter- tainer." A grand musical mass was celebrated on Saturday morning at half-past eleven o'clock by the Arch bishop of Paris in the church of St. Eustache, on the occasion of giving the benediction of the Church to the busts of the PRINCE PAEIDENT, which were in tended for the central markets. A great crowd was present long before the ceremony began. The busts were brought in with great pomp, preceded by the band of the republican guard, and followed by 100 young girls in white, blue scarfs, and having each a wreath of white roses on the head. The porters of the markets carried the busts, each being escorted by the corporation for which it was destined. The cortege was closed by the Prefect of Police, the Mayor of the arrondissement - , and the other civil authorities, and a number of officers of the National and Repub lican Guards. After all the persons composing the procession had taken their places, the mass was exe cuted, after which the Archbishop pronounced an appropriate address, and then gave his benediction to the busts. Tile procession then left the church in the order in which it had entered, and the busts were placed in due form in the places appointed for them. In the evening a ball took place in the linen-hall, at which the various dealers of the markets and their families andfriends were present. Everything passed over with the greatest order. The bust of the PassinEsir of the Republic was put up on Sunday in the March e de la Madeleine, amidst markst, a large space in the market having been cleared and handsomely deco ratedpeople of t andamidisnt t t h h e e evening there srowfasthae ball, for that purpose.

The principal changes indicated in it are as follow :—The First Chamber will undergo a new or gan.z Won ; both commerce and industry will be re presented in it, In the Second Chamber there will be four Members nominated by the KING (instead of two), two of whom must be Ministers, The First Chamber will not have the power of compelling the presence of Ministers.

In case of a new successor to the Crown, the Chambers shall not have the power to assemble unless summoned. The KING shall not be obliged on his accession to the Throne to swear to the Constitu tion. The sixth article of the Constitution will be altered ; it does not at present accord with the funda mental principle that the state is Christian.

RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.---COMBINA TION DEFEATED. (FRoii A CORRESPONDENT.) On Friday last the Permanent Way Companies Bill was brought before a Select Committee of the House of Commons, Lord Hotham Chairman. The promoters of this Bill consisted of persons connected as engineers or otherwise, indirectly concerned in the construction of railways, consisting of Mr. William H. Barlow, En gineer of the Midland Railway; P. W. Barlow, Mr. Sa muels, formerly Engineer of the Eastern Counties; Mr. P. Ashcroft, Superintendent of Permanent Way of the Eastern Counties; and a Mr. Richardson, who has been employed in railway construction. These parties had united together, as it would appear from the opening ad dress of their counsel, to purchase up all patents at pre sent obtained relating to permanent way of railways, and sought powers also to purchase future patents relating to the same object—a power that was looked upon with consi derable jealousy by the Committee. The two witnesses called by the promoters of the Bill were Mr. Samuels Bed Mr. May, of the firm of Ransoms and May, who endeavoured to maintain the principle that railway com panies and the public would be benefited by a combina tion of all inventions relating to the formation of rail ways being in the hands of an incorporated company, and possessing exclusive powers, to which reference has been made. On this, as on all other questions, there happened to be a difference of opinion; and the pro moters of the Bill found, to their great astonishment, an array of opposition against their views, as to rail ways and the public being benefited, which they did not at all anticipate. The opponents to the Bill, Messrs. Adahead and Greaves, the proprietors of Greaves's Patent Conical Sleeper, which is adopted by Mr. Robert Stephenson for the Egyptian Railway, f( und most unexpectedly an in fluenca spontaneously offered to their aid which pre sented such a phalanx of first class engineering strength, that completely paralyzed the efforts of the promoters of the Bill, and they concluded after the first sitting of the Committee to withdraw it. A judgment may be formed of the estimation in which this Railway Construction Monopoly Bill was viewed, when it is seen that out of the number of most eminent engineers, who tendered to give evidence in opposition to the Bill, are to be found the names of J. K. Brunel, Esq., C.E., Joseph Locke, Esq.. C.E. J. M. Rendel,„Esq , C.E., President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Charles Vignoles, Esq., C.E., John Fowler, Egq , C.E., J.E. Erz ington, Esq.,C.E., J. M'Lean, Esq , C.E —lt liertson, Esq., C.E, &c. The op ponents of the Bill would also have had the able assis tance of John Havksbaw, Esa , C.E. The opposition to this Bill was most timely, it having been made at the eleventh hour by the proprietors of Greaves's Sleepers. The Bill appeared to have escaped the notice of those who would have been by the powers and operations of t he Bill most seriously concerned.

He paying his addresses to a young girl of the name of publican, but h er Fanny Walk e r, the daughter of a parents disapproving o f the acquaint ance, sent her out considerably exciti of the way. This h a d the effect of ng him. she returned In the course o f the week ned to her father's house, and he endea voured . On Tuesday he c a lled to renew hi s a dd resses house andstayed for several hours, the d au g hter, at the r s request of the mother, being kept up stairs, away from him. Re had some conversation with the mother, and the circumstance of not being allowed to see Fanny excited his deepest anger. He then went out for a short time and returned with a gun in his hand. The daughter, disregarding her parents' directions to keep out of the way, came down stairs to see him, " ho assured her that he would not harm her. He then asked her whether she intended to continue the acquaintance or not. She replied that her only objection to him was his course of life, where upon he snatched up the w ill , and pointing it at the unfortunate girl, said, " I now show you what I want," The mother screamed, and, getting between them, succeeded in pushing him out of th e p assage into the road, and bolted th e d oor._ He then ran to the win dow, and thrust the muz z le r _of the gun through one of the panes . The . mot ~ _too_k hold of it, exclaiming with the utmost devotion, Don't shoot Fanny, shoot me," at the same moment urging her daughter to run out of the room. This the poor girl attempted, but in her tre could not unfasten pidation of the door; and just as she was and out the room the rascal discharged the gun, and the contents lodged in her left side, just below the breast. On seeing her fall the fellow decamped, taking the gun with him. After running across some fields he stopped and re-loaded the gun, and then taking off his , sammy" hat he put a loop of the ribbon on the trigger, and then placed the muzzle under his chin, and so, by pressing his foot on the hat downwards, dis charged the gun into his head. As may be supposed, his death was instantaneou s. A coroner's inquiry was held on both bodies, and the jury gave as their verdict— That the deceased girl was murdered by Stephen Walker, and that ho then destroyed himself while i n a state of temporary insanity." Although of the tame name, they wore not related to each other.

The station master of the Manea station (within one mile of the village) immediately telegraphed for engines from March, and in the course of an hour one arrived, and was the means of saving the other half of the town. The loss is not known, but most of the sufferers are not insured. The sight of the many families trying to save their furniture, and the cries of the women, were most heartrending. Two or three fields are now covered with household goods of of every description, an d, as Manes is a very small place, they will most likely h ave to rema i n in this lamentab le p osition until other habitations are built, or the killdur 3sB 0f (a gent . .. xousi public ztlityo tiara, _.'
