For the time of year to-day 's market was bat mode _ rately_ supplied with foreign stock, the general quality of which was by no moans first-rate; and the arrivals of Beats from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were somewhat limited. The rapid increase in the demand for barrel provisions to victual the immense number of vessels now about to sail to the Australian colonies, and the high value of salted provi sions generally, had considerable influence upon the Beef trade this morning, all breeds of Beasts commanding a ready inquiry at an advance in the quotations of Monday last of fully 2d per 81b, and a clearance was speedily effected.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord CAMPBELL, and a Special Jury.) ACHILLI V. NEWMAN. This was a criminal; information filed, at the instance of Dr. Achilli, against Dr. Newman for a series of alleged libels. Sir F. Thesiger, Sir F. Kelly, and Mr. Ellis conduc ' 3ed the prosecution, and Sir A. J. E. Cockburn, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, and Mr. Bramwell appeared for the defence. Mr. Elam having opened the pleadings in the case. Sir F. TIIEEIGER addressed the jury f©r the prosecu tion. He said the prosecutor, Dr. Achilli, had been a Monk of:the Dominican order, in the Roman Catholic e Church, but was now a Protestant, and a preacher at the Italian Protestant Church in Goldenesquare. The de fendant was formerly a distingeished clergyman of the Established Church, but had been converted to the Roman Catholic faith. In 1850 Dr. Achilli arrived in this country, where he had remained ever since, having recently escaped from the prisons of the Inquisition, in which he had been confined for six months. He was a Man of great talent and indomitable energy, and pea , messed besides a strong determination end a spirit of in dependence, which seemed to make him unwilling to submit to. authority. Having revelations to make re ''specting the dungeons of the Inquisition, and respecting th© practices of the faith, which he had formerly recognised, he attended various public meet ings for the purpose of delivering lectures On the Roman Catholic Church. These excited It great deal of attention and interest, and the meesbers of the church he had quitted lookd upon him as a very formidable adversary, and as one not to be despised. They accordingly coughs to impeach his voracity and destroy his credit, and no one addressed himself with • more zeal, if not with more ability, to the task than Dr. Newman, the present defendant. He knew tho temper of the English people, and that nothing was more likely s , to throw scandal on Dr. Achilli than , the fact of his teeing committed any impropriety while clothed in the tittered office of priest. He, therefore, with great avidity armed himself with all the scandal which the malice tied `disseminated against . Dr. "Invention 'of enemies had and delivered it in his own language, is t h e course of a, s'eries of lectures to the brothers of the• Oratory Ni, at Bitmingliam, in 1851, which w ere subse q uentl y pub lished in a pamphlet. The lectures were five in number, sand were on the logical inconsistency of Protestantism. Dr. Newman described Dr. Achilli as an infidel and a ,Profligate, who as early a s 1826 was deprived of his 'acuity to lecture for an offence which his superiors did their best to conceal, and who in 1827 had earned the reputation of being guilty of the most scandalous con duet. He went on to say that he was wow the same Dr. 4chiili who in 1831 robbed u. young: nof 18 of her honour, who in September, 18339 was found guilty of a similar crime in the case of a person aged 28, who perpetrated a third such offence in 1834, in the case of another, aged 24; that he was th a t son of St. Dominic who. in 1840, violated the Person of a child, aged 15, at Naples, and who had chosen the sacristy of the church for the commisdon one such crime at Viterbo. Dr. Achilli felt that be was hound to vindicate his character in a court of jus tice against these foul slanders, and to call on his tic 'ewers to make good their charges. There were no Isis "en 24 distinct accusations contained in the pl eas , MA the truth of every one of these the defendant had "Liertaken to prove in eviderce. They extended over I,,Pereod of 26 years, and some were of a very extraor .cley nature. Be was cha r g ed with having seduced ~mit w 4 rieus women, som e of whom w ere named, and some Ilknown ; with having i m proper intercourse with on e 411 0 sacristy, and with anot her, a mere child, on Geed He was likewise charge withs having tom :fl i tte d adultery w i t h two p nem.- d ; '-kit', having been removed from a professorship i ucoins quence of acts of impropriety and fornication; ?nd it was likewise said he had been guilty of seduction e 1647, 1350, and 1851, and that the archives of the riee a t aceples would show that be was a person of bahitual ine,ontinency. Ho (Sir F. Thesiger) was em te'lressed as to the proper course he ought to pursue in 4.l"ii an important investigation. Under ordinary cir- tg .tct%ieeces, he would have anticipated the charges in the p r '%', MI adduced , evidence to rebut them; bat on the e scut oecasion, be found it was quite impossible for TIER SUN, • him to adopt that course. He would, therefore, wait - unfit he heard tiJ. .videnee part b,fore he would call any witee.4cs in support et Dr. Achilli's caan, pledging himielf to produce, among otherr Dr. and to submit h ue to the most searching examination of his Learned Friend on the other tide. Dr. Achilli wt.a perfectly aware of the clifii2utties which surrounded him, but he would calmly and fearlessly await the result, being as sured that, though d foretner, he would receive that im partial justice which invariably distinguiAed British junior. He knew ho must stand or fall by the result of the trial. Jolla Waltman, clerk to the prosecutor's attorney, produced the rule of the court of 17th November, 1851. • Mr. Sergeant Witaims requested that the witnesses should he ordered cut of court. Sir F. TEESIGER hoped Dr. Achilli would be allowed to remain, as it was of the gr e atest consequence be should hear the evidence. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS said he feltit necessary to re quest his absence. Lord CAMPBELL —Then the prosecutor must leave the court.. S:r J. E. Cacknunar then addressed the jury on the pert of the defence, and observed that, though the flame of religious controversy had been raised in this case, ho trusted the jury would divest their minds of all prejudices end partialities, and do justice between these two parties, who were the great champions of two antagonistic Churches. Ci~hFn a Roman Catholic became a convert to the Pro tesiaut faith, they were generally disposed to consider he had yielded to the force of reason, truth, and light, and if his motives were called into question they would become his advocates and supporters; but take a man who had seceded from the Protestant Church and gone over to Rome, and they would look upon him as a de serter and an impostor, and if his conduct were questioned, they would ascribe it to baser and more sordid motives. Both Dr. Achilli and Dr. Newman were converts, apostates, who had abandoned 'the faith in which they were originally brought up, and become converts to the opposite church. He (the Learned Counsel) admitted that if the charges made against Dr. Achilli could not be substantiated the defendant would be guilty of a very grave and serious offence. He should, however, show that they wore not made without good grounds, and that in making them Dr. Newman was not gratifying any spite or vindictive feeling against Dr. Achilli. It would be asked, then, why he thus attacked the character of that gentleman? Dc. Achiili presented himself before the public as a person who could reveal the secrets of the dungeons of the Inquisition; be held up to odium the practises of the Roman Catholic faith, and said, " Be hold a monk and priest who has become a convert to Protestantism, and who is now no longer under the con trol or subject to the abominations of the Church of Rome." His language against the church he had left was of the strongest character; he denounced not only its doctrines, but also the corruptions of the clergy, the dissoluteness of their lives, and the abominations of their practices. He said Pope Gregory de ceived the people with a belief not for the benefit of their souls, but his own private gains. Of course it could not be expected that he would speak more considerately of less distinguished members of the Church. From the Pope on his throne to the very lowest priest, the general rule, according to his description, was wickedness and licentiousness, and purity and virtue the solitary and rare exception. If these statements were true, it was no doubt important to mankind and the Christian world that they should be made known to the public; but, on the other hand, if they were wholly false and scandalous, it became the duty of every Roman Catholic to vindicate his Church from the aspersions cast upon it, provided he had it in his power to do so. It naturally occurred to Dr. Newm a n to in quire who this Dr. Achilli was who held up to odium the church to which he formerly belonged—whether he was a person worthy of belief, and who se t e stimony might be sately relied upon. Both good sense and experience of mankind suggested to Dr. Newman the propriety of ascertaining what really were the ante cedents and motives of the man who thus apostatised from the Roman Catholic faith. This led to inquiry, and the result was that Dr. Newman gave publicly an account of L the practices and conduct of Dr. Achilli, with full detail as to time, place, and circumstance; and he was now prepared to vindicate the truth of every statement he had advanced. There could be no ques tion that from his youth Dr. Achilli was eminently dis tinguished for his great abilities, learning, and eloquence, but still that was notirreconcileable with the immorality of his private life. The Learned Counsel then adverted to the libels, and assorting that he should be in a postion to prove the truth of every one of them, he gave a detailed history of Dr. Achilli's antecedents, commencing from the period when he entered the priesthood until he first avowed himself a Protestant, mentioning, among other acts of mis conduct, that he had seduced three young ladies, two of whom he should call into the box, and also de bauched several married women, and the notoriety of his incontinence led to proceedings being taken. But these charges were not confined to the time he was resident in Italy, for after he arrived in England and, indeed, since he had Income a married man, he attempted to violate the pffson of a servant girl in the house in which he lodged; he did not succeed in that attempt, but, ho regretted to say, that in two other instances two persons in the same position of life bad been seduced by him. Under all these circumstances, Dr. Newman was justified in asking, who and what Dr. Achilli was, and whether he had been guilty of such serious out rages against religion, morality, and propriety. Eleanor Guistini was then called. She was 40 years of age, - and was now married. She was married two years ago. She now lived in Viterbo, where she had been since her birth. She knew the Dominican Convent there, and was acquainted with Dr. Achilli, who was a monk of that convent. She went to that convent when he called her; that was about twenty-three years ago, when she was about 17 or 18 years old. She saw Dr.' Achilli at the convent; he "deflowered" her at that time. She was a virgin. The occurrence took place in the saeristry. She bad been alone in his company in other places. She was then in the service of Signora Gentilli, who was acquainted with Dr. Achilli, who had been resident in her master's house about a month. He had used liberties with her before the occurrence in the sacristy. She had walked with him alone, and at his invitation. It was a custom for servants in Italy to confess, and he requested her to go to the sacristy for that purpose. Being there alone, she was obliged to consent to what took place. He commenced assaulting her when she was at SignoraGentilli's country house. The same circumstance that took place in the sacristy to o k place some time afterwards, and was renewed, once in the convent, and twice in a house. She asked him if there was no sin in it, and he replied there was not. — (Laughter.) She told him there was bell in it, and he said " not at all," or otherwise it would be quite full. Cross-examined by Sir F. THESIGEII-1 arrived in this country on Thursday last. I left Viterbo six months ago. I have been residing since at Paris, Dover, and some other places between Dover and London. A lady accompanied me from Viterbo, named Madame Rosins di Berne. My husband also came with me. I lived three months at Paris, and arrived at Dover in May. It was at the request of a lawyer that I came from Viterbo to London, but I cannot recollect his name. Before leaving I saw my priest, the cure, and he said I might come. Signor lamaggi is his name. I have seen a priest in London, but I did not say anything to him of , this matter. Dr. Achilli went to Signora Gentilli'a villa to pass a month in the country; there was no other servant in the house. Tho family consisted of two men besides Sig nora Gentilli; it was a very retired house. He solicited my chastity the first time I walked out with him; he took me to a place for shooting birds, to show me two members of the family shooting. I did not see the shoot ing, but Dr. Achilli took me into a shepherd's hut, end solicited my chastity, but I positively denied him. I then considered that to do so would be a sin. I a f te rw a rds walked home with him, butltold what had taken place to my confessor, the curate of the parish.l neverwallscoedliowitietdh him °gain in the country.

LITERARY' MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.—The number of literary men in the House of C , ritmons has al ways been comparatively small. and the pressure of business there has increased so much in modern times, that it would interfere greatly with the leisure required by authors. Lord Mahon, Mr. Disraeli. and Mr. Gladstone are the only promi nent authors now in the House of Commons. By the retirement of Mr. Grote front Parliament, the literary interest lost one of its greatest ornaments. Sir Bulwer Lytton, it•is said, is likely to gain his election for Herts. The death of Mr. Sheil, and the promotion to the Bench of Sir T. N. Talfourd, have been further losses to the 4it.erary M.P.'s, who certainly need some additions in an age when education is so promi nent a topic of discussion. — Athceneum.

Emilia Galotti, betrothed to Count Appiani, has aroused the licentious admiration of the Duke.

An exquisite little v(gnette view of Paris is given by the magic pen of Dickens, in the course of his description of Sir Leidester's journey from that capital to his estat e in England. Arrived there, we have a record of th e people as sembled under the roof-trees at Chesn ey Wold, and partaking of th e h os pitalities of Leicestershire. A capital and bizarre pasquinade here occurs en polities and politicians. The interview between Lad f Pad lock and Mr. Tulkinghorn, trifling though it may seem now, will turn out, we feel assured, to lead to many import an t conseq uences. I n the subsequent chapter "Esther's Narrative" is resumed. The oc cupants of Bleak House are up in London. Ma and Richard are betrothed. The latter is placed lunder the care o f one M r. B ly b am Badger, a surgeon at Chelsea, for the purpose of studying for the profes sion. Mrs. Bsyhani Badger, formerly Mrs.' Pro fessor Dingo, f ormerly M rs . Captain Swosser, is al together intolerable—but still more intolerable, if that be possible, is her husband. At the theatres, in the pit, with his hair straight and flat, and his shirt collar down, looking up a t the box containing Esther and her friends, with an expression of ' general feebleness about him," appears Mr. Guppy—tpain fully disconsolate. Among the many happy phrases in this instalment there —is one peculiarly new and witty, where pawnbrokers' duplicates are tpoke9 of as " turnpike ti c k ets on the road of poverty.' Nothing could scarcely be more indifferent, in their way; than Hablot Browne's two very careless illustrations. _.______ GUIDE TO Written by R r TH E LAKE DISTRICT.

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS A very delightful performance took place at these rooms on Thursday evening last—the first exhibition of the students of " The British School or Vocalization," established last year, and conducted by Mr. G. F. Flowers, the giver of the concert. Mr. Flowers was assisted on this occasion by twenty-four of his pupile, who performed a variety of excellent selections in a very admirable manner. The contralto voice of Miss Annie de Lara, aged twelve! and the soprano voice of Miss Clara Holmes, aged ten! astonished the audience. These young ladies were encored in two Italian duets, and certainly Mr. Flowers may well be proud of such evidences of the excellency of his tuition, which has pro duced an unparalleled instance of vocal maturity and flexibility in singers so young. Encores were likewise bestowed on Miss Brooke and Miss Isabella Staunton, Miss Whittaker, and Mr. Benham. The concert was under the immediate patronage of her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland, was most fully and fashionably attended, and Mr. Flowers wasnalled for ward and unanimously cheered in appreciation of the signal success of his spirited, and we may add patriotic undertaking, his design being to prove that English voices are as beautiful as those of foreigners when pro perly developed. His ultimate intention is permanently to establish'schools for operatic singing, and the exhibi tion on Thursday of the effects produced on the voice by his method, after only fifteen months' instruction, satisfactorily proves his ability to carry out his object. REGULATION OF TIME BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. On Thursday; the requisite arrangements that have for some time past been pending between the Electric Telegraph Company, the Astronomer Royal, and the South Eastern Railway, for the establishment and trans mission throughout London and the provinces of moan Greenwich or uniform time, being completed, the con struction of the ingenious apparatus intended to carry out the object was commenced by Mr. Edwin Clark, the company's engineer, upon the dome of the company's west end station, opposite Hungerford market. The operations, which commenced as early as three in the morning, attracted great attention from the passers-by through the Strand during the day. A scaffolding was first erected on the top of the cupola, built under the direction of Mr. Sandys, the constructor of the appa ratus, designed by Mr. Clark. This scaffolding was 30 feet high, and from its summit an uninterrupted view of London and the river was obtainable, the total height at which the apparatus stands being about 110 feet above the level of the Thames. A high wind prevailed at inter vals during the day at this altitude. The scaffolding having been tecurecl, the next step was that of raising the apparatus, which consists of a long quadrangular shaft or pillar'of wood 38 feet high and 8 in circumfe rence, formed of three sections. The first section of the hollow shaft was fixed by the workmen into the floor of the room underneath the dome, and thence carried through and joined on the second 'section, and the third, the latter of which WRS then passed through the centre of a large globe or bell, which is intended, by meant; of sympathetic electrical action, to fall every day situulta neeeele with the wela known bail on the top of Green wich - Observatory, between which and the Strand the electric wires have been completed for the purpose, so as to indicate to all London and the vessels below bridge exact Greenwich time. The ball is a re markable object, being nearly six feet high and 16 in eiccumference, eed could with ease accommodate three people inside. It is formed of zinc, painted black, so that it may be the better seen in contrast with a light sky, with a broad white belt diametered about it, making it look like a "great globe," or representation of a ringed Sturn. The shaft is continued a few feet above the ball, and at the extremity is a bright gilded weather vane, with "E. T. C." on the arms. It may be stated, to render the nature of the mechanism more understand able, that the apparatus is provided with an air cylinder in connexion with the telegraphic wires between London and Greenwich, and that when the ball at Greenwich falls an instantaneous shock of electricity will be com municated along them, and this acting on au electrical trigger connected with the ball in the Strand, will cause it to fall simultaneously with that at Greenwich, and the first experiment will be tried when the arrangements for the carrying ted at 1, novel chronometrical are perfected . 00110/this THE ARMY. The following General Officers have been placed upon the list of those receiving the unattached pay of 253. per diem:—Major-General Robert C. Mansel, K.H.; Major- General George Paris Bradahawe, WAR-OFFICE CIRCULAR, CHELSEA PENSIONERS. —The Secretary-at-War has issued the following circular to each of the staff offics,ra in command of the respective divisions of Chelsea pen- stoners:— " As employment may probably be provided during a couple of months for some of the most active and intelli gent of the pensioners, who are capable of acting as in structors in infantry drill, it is re quested that the same be made generally known among those under their superintendence; that about ten of this description will probably be required from each district to drill the militia, after the ensuing harvest, provided they are found qualified, and willing to volunteer for that duty on the following terms:— " 'l. The pay to be Is. 6d. in ad dition to p ension, but without distinction as to the rank o f the p ensioner. " ` 2 • The same allowance s in re g ard to barracks cr billets, t ravelling fec., as in th e regu l ar arm y. clothing expenses, marching mone y , messin g , " ' 3. They w ill b e provided with the usual suit of to keep up a enrolled in the local force, they will be allowed the use of th at clothing; b u t of an enrolled pensioner , or if the y are alread y .they will be expected expense. 66 6 • , proper su pply of necessaries at their own 4. Every p ens i oner eng aging for this duty must, in the event of h aving to remove f rom his home during the period of his employment, leave at least sixpence a day out of his pension for the support of his wife during his absence, with threepence per day additional, if he have only one child, or 6d. a day if he have two or more children. Should his pension be less than these amounts, the whole must be applied to prevent his family becoming chargeable to the parish in his absence. " ' Before, recommending these men, the 3144 officer must use his best endeavours to ascertain that they are capable of drilling recruits, and inform them that they will probably, be inspected and examined by another effi flew as to their capacity in this respect, before being fieally approved for this duty. The pensioners recom mended should not exceed 47 years of age, and a pre ference should be given to enrolled men and those who are recently discharged.' " . THE ST. JAMES'S LITERARY SOCIETY..-011 Thursday evening a highly interesting lecture was delivered by Dr. Lankester at this society (which has been recently formed in the midst of a large population, the Right Lion. T. B. Macaulay being president) on " The Study of Nature." The subject was considered to be happily chosen for one of the first lectures delivered to a new institution, showing, as it did show, how the ordinary forces around us, gravity, heat, and electricity, are also those concerned in producing the great phenomena of nature, and how, by a knowledge of the laws which govern these forces, man may render them subser vient to his wants, and convert agencies which, uncontrolled, produce disease and death, into ministers of his comforts and luxuries. The lecturer, amongst other instances. exempli fied this by reference to the articial scents which were ex hibited at the Crystal Palace, and which were actually formed by the French chemists, not from the flowers of the garden, but from the refuse of the cow-house and similar noxious sources. He concluded by repudiating the doctrine ' that one animal or plant can ever be converted into another of a different species, and showed that all known facts pointed to a distinct creative act for the production of every species of animal or plant. EXTRAORDINARY. FOOT MATCH AT CALCUTTA.— The "American Stag," who was, it' appears, chief officer of an American vessel, has accomplished his task of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours in India. He began his journey on the road between Calcutta and Barrackpore on the Bth of March, and completed it on the 19th of April, and although the weather at the commencement of his task was unusablly favourable, yet for the last 15 days he bad to endure a tem perature frequently above 90 degrees. He did not, however, according to the Bengal Hurkaru, appear much exhausted by his exertions, but bad lost nearly one-sixth of his weight. The achievement excited an unusual amount of interest, and 13 1, 02 Europeans and natives betted considerably on the re he Hiad o o s vi ewe d th e f e at w hen performed as posi tivel 1y miraculous. ACCESSION OF HEIL MAJESTY.—Yesterday was the fifteenth anniversary of her Majesty's accession. The royal standard was hoisted at the Tower of London, Somerset house, the Admiralty, the steeples of St. Martin's-in-the Fields, St. Margaret's, Westminster, and other public edi fices. The different vessels in the various docks (St. Katha rine, London, West and East India) and in the river had their variegated , colours flying on the occasion. At two o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired the usual royal salute; as did also the batteries and ships of war at Woolwich. _ . SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE.—A schooner calm d the Ilrewood, of Plymouth, was wrecked on Wedaesday, about a mile off the coast of the village of Beer, in the south of Devon, and her crew, consisting of six men, perish e d. The disaster occurr e d i n the middle of the day, and in sight of a number of people on the shore. A boat was manned and attempted to gain the vessel, but the heavy sea pre vented it, and the brave crew were compelled to put back again. The vessel, it is conjectured, was water-logged. Suddecly she was, observed to heel over, being struck with a heavy sea, and soon after sunk and broke to pieces. If there had been a life-boat here, the probability is that the crew would have been saved. eel JUNE 21, SPORTING NOTES. No. e.XLVIII. ODDS AND ENDS' WORTLi KNO7,ING-. TO THE EDITOR OF SUN.

When the cholera was upon us, steps wore taken for some general arrangement for sanitary purposee, Board of Health wa3 tho result. A rule was Lo abnedfithe invented and then applied, whereby the dead Were first longer to be allowed to elbow the living, and water, npar ticularly in the metropolitan districts, was to be purged of a portion of the monsters the solar microscope dis plays. There was to be order in our cleanliness, and we were to be kept alive by the exercise of reason as in other cases, But the cholera went off; those who were to die, died, and were eaten or drunk or inhaled by those who were destined to survive, and so the Board of Health was shelved like an umbrella in dry weather. We are waiting fur the oaolera, and then there will be a bustle and the umbrella be brought out again. The undertakers have been too strong for us; we must con tinue to make meat for them, and Mr. Bumble have his own way in his parish. The present Bill of the Govern ment is a sort of compromise; it is not to wash us too clean, but leave certain chances to the animalcules of the microscope. On the same day the Crrrupt Practices Bill made a kind of posthumous appearance before the House, and was killed again, on the principle probably that " such a villain cannot be too dead," by a majority of 67 to 24. Aud directly afterwards, as if to keep the hand in, the County Elections Polls Bill, which was to have reduced the time of taking the Poll in Counties to one day, was thrown out at the Third Reading by 49 to 39. So the gentlemen who have seven votes in seven different places, have secured the exercise of their rights, while seven out of eight of you go without a vote at nil. And this leads me to some further comment on the facts connected with the increase of Bradford, formerly alluded to. Out of the great increase of houses there, what has been the proportion which has led to an increase in the number of electors? In other words, how many of those who live in them and pay for them, have been tlier:by raii.ed to the privilege of having one of those votes, which the man of landed property must have by sevens, and to preserve which to him in full ex ercize the County Elections Polls Bill haa just been thrown nut? A little inquiry on this subject at Brad ford might be a useful exercise. Ido not know whether any engagement upon this subject comes within the plans of a Liberal Protectionist and Conservative Free Trader like Lord Derby's mangger in the House of Commons. Contrary to the 'predictions of the knowing in such matters, the Resolutions On Currency &o, which for some months loaded the Notices of Motions, were so for tiinate as to be called on at two in the morning 9E O negatived, which gives them insertion on the Joarnedi of the House. A motion withdrawn, is not ins4ted en the Journals. As the adjournment of the Ifouso had beer, moved or threatened two or three times, the srxil/ast attempt at explanation or confirmation would have caused some Opponent to exercise the Liberunt Veto in his power, and so the end would h ave b een missed. lam not unconscious of the dsni- - ,;er attcndinp, prr - ceedings of this nature. It is always a crime and mis demeanour,. to try to know anythi n g before the public. The question is now nearly where that of the Corn Laws was five-and-twenty years ego. But somebody must be forlorn hope. Somebody for a score or two of years must he content to work in the dark, with great disgrace and loss of fume, amid load cries of " What would thia babbler say?" And then at some time or other will coma the proper person, the " discoverer," and "discover" it all; a n d ho will be a wonderful man. It is the course of nature; there is no use in kicking against the pricks, But for the same process, we should still have been at " Protection to British In dustry," and the Pope's right to depose kings. On Friday cmsiderable progress was made in what is called " the business of the Rouse," preparatory to the conclusion of the Session. Tho bastard Romauists in the Church of England continue to rally against Mr. Horsman; and appear disposed to persevere in their course, till they invite what Napoleon and O'Connell expressed by the same metaphor, " being thrown into the river." I am, Sir, yours 'cry sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. Blackhcath, Juno 21, 1852. THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE. ' Various arrangements have been already made by the directors of the Crystal Palace Company, in conjunc tion with-Sir Joseph Paxton, Messrs. Fox and Hender son, and Dlr. Owen Jones, and the other gentlemen en gaged in the reconstruction of the edifice, and in the formation of the grounds. The total length of the building will be 1,853 teen the extreme width 384. The now palace will undergo several modifications. It will have three transepts—two of the same size and height as the original transept, and a central one of 130 feet span, 108 teat higher than the ;aro smaller. The roofing of the transepts, as well as of the whole of the nave, will be arched, and the ribs will be of wrought iron instead of wood, as employed in the old transept, the former material being used, not for the sake of durability only. but wish the view also of absorbing the whole " thrust" of the arches. aed of preventing its being thrown on tee adjacent flat roofs of the aisles. The glass for the new roofs will be all twenty-case ounces instead of six teen ounces per square feet. The sloping form of the ground on which the building is to stand will be made available for the various'works below the floor line, necessary for the heating of the interior, for mechi hery, and for the stores required in a building of a permanent character. This basement story will be .formed of columns and girders, with brick arches fitted to receive the earth for the plants above. The disposi tion of the galleries will ha much modified. It is deter mined that they shall not rua along the nave, as at pre sent, but Flail be generally kept back to the outside walls, coming forward only at those points where they will command the most striking views. The interior will be arranged on the following genera! principles. At one end the climate and vegetation will be those of the tropics, gradually changing, until at the ceutro transept, a temperateclimate and temperate vegetation are reached, which will prevail throughout the remainder of the build ing. Portions of the palace will be conversed into quad rangles similar to the fine art or medieval courts of the Exhibition. These courts will bemade to represent the man ners, costumes, &c., of different countries. For instance one court will form an Indian bazaar, with adjoining durbars and reception rooms. Here all the illustretierts of Indira We will be collected in as vivid and (there° teristic a manner as possible. Another qaadrangle will he devoted to the illustration of China. A bird will contaih a reproduction of one of the courts of the Alham bra, by Mr. Jones; and a fourth will exhibit a Porn pain house fully restored. In one of the smaller tran septs there will be Egyptian antiquities, casts from the oelebriited reliefs, illustrative of the trades of Egypt, and from the most noted statues—all coloured exactly like the originals, and so disposed as not to be a mere deed collection of individual objects, but a living reproduction palace. Steps have been of Egyptian manners and things. In another part there will be presented a Nineveh already taken to procure collections of sculpture , of ar chitecture, and of ornaments, illustrating the pro' apnodeiotfiotnlise, mfoordeirnnstseufieoeol-oci. those arts from their commencement to the gpr(s2 prese nt time.

COUIVTY COURTS EXTENSION. After infinite paths and vexation the County Courts Extension Bill has been safely passed through the Commons. This night it is to be taken up to the Lords to receive their Lordships' consideration, and, we trust, approval. The principle of this measure has been dis cussed usque ad nauseam, and even the details of the present ancillary Bill must be so familiar to as many of our readers as take any interest in the subject at all, that it would be mere idleness in us to reopen the quell.. tion at auy length. The Commons have done their duty by the country; it only remains for the Lords to follow the example of the popular branch of the Legislature end extend the prectiosl utility of the County Courts. The only point in the present measure from which any obstruction may be anticipated lies in the 10th section. P Sir John Jervis, as is well known, when the County "Courts first came under discussion, ousted the bar from prectico before the new tribunals, unless instructed by an attorney. The question has been mooted ever since; and the bar—especially what is called the junior bar—has made desperate efforts to regain its lest position. The popularity of the new courts has drawn the clients away from Westminster-hall; and Sir John Jervis has shut the doors of the substitutes for Westminster-hall in the faces of his Learned Friends. Much inconvenience to suitors and much injuttice to the bar have been the natural consequences of 39 false a step. Now, the present Bill, by its 10th clause, enacts, " that it shall be lawful for an attorney . . or for a barrister retained by or othnebejhuadlgfeo,ffotleor aipjyertoythoerrt ofim i es at a T hisucrlaess int erfere a is t o r b z e i e r we e iht t ah h s e tbhe h ee i ant artoih l vo i eet Q lht t a r either r n a e i l d lo e 4c o d r, by by the leav j e ud o g t e . to appear instead of the party, to address the court without any right of exclusive Bill through the Lords this evening.

The date from Singapore by that mail was May 1, consequently intelligence from S ingapore to London was conveyed in 41 days. Wh en th e ma il pac kets now on their way out begin to run b e t ween Aus tralia and Singapore, intelligence will reach the latter place from Western Australia in rather more than a week, from South Australia in a fortnight, and from Eastern Australia in about three weeks. The telegraphic news alluded to above was dated from Marseilles at 5, A.M., en the 11th instant, and was published in the second editions of the London morning journals of that day. The space therefore between Marseilles and London may now be said to be extinguished by electric telegraph agency. Nexr. year the distance between Singapore and Marseilles will be era versed, owing to the new postal ar rangements, in about a month. Without, therefore, any ext ens i on of the electric telegraph into south-eastern Europe, we sh a ll rece i ve news frcm Swan River in about five weeks, from Melbourne, Adelaide, in six weeks, and from the gold diggings in New South Wales in about seven weeks. The importance of this rapid communication to the country and colonies, and in aiding the emigration movement, can hardly be over estimated. Australian journalists will shortly be ordering telegraphic messages , to be sent from London, through France, a few hours before the departure of the packet from Marseilles with the Indian, China, and Australian mails, separted from old E ngland, and Australian emi grants will scarcely consider themselves gerce from it in a space of time not much exceeding a month. when they can receive intelli gence COURT AP PE ALS.
