WHITTINGTON CLUB AND METRO POLITAN ATHENJEUM. (Late Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand.) This Institution has been founded with a view to throw open to classes which have hitherto been debarred from their enjoyment, those increased physical comforts, and facilities for moral and intellectual education, refined social intercourse, and rational recreation, which are the most attractive claaracterisilics of modern civilization ; but which, in the absence of individual wealth, associated numbers alone can commalftl. Its Members thus enjoy the advantages of being able to make themselves more efficient and valuable in their ketpective occupations, while at the same time their hours of relaxa tion assume a double value from the opportunities afforded of spending them in a manner at once improving and delightful. The various departments of this institution are now in full opera tion. The Dining and Refreshment Rooms (where the Members may obtain dinner and refreshments at prices calculated merely to cover expenses, and free of gratuities to waiters), Reading, News, and Smoking Rooms, are open from Eight in the Morning till Night. Classes are established for the study and practice of Languages, Chemistry, Vocal Music, Elocution, Historic and Dramatic Litera ture, Discussion, Fencing, Dancing, &c. Weekly reunions are held every Tuesday evening in the Drawing Room for conversation, mu sic, and other entertainments, to which the members are free, and every facility is afforded for such other studies and amusements as are demanded by the members. The most eminent Professors in the various branches of Litera ture, Science, and Art, will continue to deliver periodical courses of Lectures. to which the Members have free admission. The Pro gramme of the forthcoming Lecture Session will shortly be published, and the Concerts and Assemblies will be resumed at intervals. SUBSCRIPTIONS. Gentlemen residing, or having a place of business within seven miles of the General Post-office, Two Guineas yearly ; Gentlemen not within the above district, One Guinea yearly ; Ladies' Subscrip tion, Half-a-Guinea yearly.

The recent steps taken by the Irish Government must speedily bring matters to some definite conclu sion in that country-. The crisis which has for some time been inevitable will be precipitated, and we shall speedily know whether order and tranquillity can be restored, or if anarchy and confusion are to reign throughout the entire kingdom. As we yesterday pointed out, no choice remained for the Executive. They should either have surrendered their functions into the hands of the demagogues, and secured their own safety by an ignominious flight, or they should have adopted the most energetic measures sane tioned by law. They were told distinctly and unequivocally that the English authonty_was to be specting the intended outbreak was the time at which it should take place ; that the period was only pro tracted until every possible preparation had been made, the people armed, drilled, and instructed in military exercise, through the intervention of the clubs, which were to be planted in every district throughout the country—and an adequate commis- sariat secured, by which the entire populace were to be supplied with food during th►e ensuing year. This was the chief object, and accordingly the " harvest" was very significantly spoken of as the time for action. Nay, further, it was announced that the chief difficulty of the self-constituted leaders was to restrain the ardour, and curb the impetuosity of their enthusiastic followers, until the anxiously-expected period had arrived when guns and pikes were to be put into re quisition for a nobler purpose than the assassina tion of some daring landlord, who had the audacity to demand any rent from his tenantry, or of some obnoxious agent, who ventured conscientiously to discharge the duties he owed to his employer. This was peculiarly the case at the time of the conviction and expatriation of Mr. MITCHEL. Pending the trial his wife was informed that she need not feel the slightest apprehension as to the result, for that if any jury dared to convict her husband he should most assuredly be rescued from the hands of the Saxon oppressor. So spoke the deputation from the "Dr, Doyle Club" who waited upon the afflicted lady. It is needless to say how futile were the pro mises thus made; how vain the hopes awakened. The jury dared to convict, the judge to sentence, and the Executive to carry that sentence into execu tion, and yet not the slightest attempt was made to rescue the unfortunate man from the consequences of his own insane and reckless conduct, or to favour the escape of the convicted felon. An apologist, however, was found for those who had thus incurred the guilt of violated pledges and broken vows. Mr. T. F. MEAGHER declared that such a proceeding had been resolved upon, but that the inten tion was abandoned at the last moment, the leaders hav ing discovered that they were not in a position to act with any reasonable prospect of success, and that he himself had most reluctantly acceded to their views, inasmuch as he was unable to contest the validity of their arguments. It was, however, intimated that no further adjournment should take place, but that the moment the crops were gathered in, the perform ance should commence in good earnest. Nay, elabo rate calculations were put forward to show the re sources that would be at the disposal of the Pro visional Government. The growing crops were valued at 80,000,0001. sterling, of this 40,100,0001. should be allocated to feed the entire body of the people, while the remaining moiety would form a very nice fund for the new Finance Minister, and the Members of the Executive Committee. Should the authorities then patiently wait the appointed time—should they passively regard the progress of the armament in tended for their destruction ; or should they interpose before the project had ripened into maturity, and while their was yet time and opportunity to avert the threatened calamity which brooded over the laud? There can be no second opinion on this subject, i The arms must now be surrendered into the hands of the officers appointed to receive them. The means of doing mischief will thus be taken away, the wasp will be deprived of his sting; or if, on the other hand there is to be an actual outbreak, it must take place prematurely, and before the insurgents are in pos session of what they have themselves admitted to be essential to the success of their enterprise—the ultimate triumph of their arms. It may be hoped that, when these things are calmly and dispassionately considered, the project will be adjourned sate die, and that Ireland may be spared the suffering and misery that would otherwise be inflicted by the hands of her own children. In the meantime it is essential that the hands of the Executive should be strengthened to the utmost degree. Every additional power that may be required will readily be conceded by the Legislature. " The Club " nuisance should be abated without a mo ment's delay. There can be no doubt as to the objects of these associations, and precedents may readily be found for the necessary enactments. Orange Lodges were rendered. illegal ; every secret society (save and except Freemasonry, against which the slightest imputation could not be breathed) were prohibited. The principle might easily be ex tended so as to include every association not sanctioned by the authorities, under whatever name or pretext it might be formed. If this be done, and that the law is still firmly and ener getically put in execution, we shall have peace restored throughout the country, and tranquillised Ireland will have cause to hail with gratitude the wisdom and decision of the CLARENDON Adminis tration. Notwithstanding the terrible events of June, those massacres at Paris which disgraced the until then "pure and glorious revolution ;" notwithstanding the despondent sentiments with which that untoward in surrection filled the minds of all true reformers, the present position of Continental :Europe seems to pro mise the speedy realisation of those sanguine anticipa tions in which we indulged at the beginning of the present year. For example, what could be more en couraging or of more hopeful augury than the open ing address of the Chamber of Deputies, now, far the first tisto, assembled at Rome. This address is not only filled with liberal sentiments and redolent of pa triotism, but moreover, in the calm dignity of its style —the dignity of conscious power—we recognise the existence of a spirit of determination which shall suc cessfully carry out the high promises with which the address is filled. Royal speeches are proverbially pieces of inanity, and the opening discourses of new assemblies are generally little more than examples of elaborate rhetoric, but in the case of the naugural address of the Roman Parliament we are inclined to believe—as we most devoutly hope—that it will be otherwise. The " Roman Parliament" is perhaps not a correct appellation for the new house of Representatives, but it is a name fraught with such interesting historical associations that we willingly repeat it. The Roman Parliament irresistibly re calls to us that greatest of Parliaments once assem bled at Rome—that Parliament for ever immortalized by its orators—the Parliament where " immortal TULLY shone ;" that, Parliament whose initials S. P. Q. R. inscribed on triumphant banners floated over half the world—yet the ordinary proceedings of that Parliament, as chronicled by Liv; read almost like so many pages taken from Hansard. We too have had orators " whose words were sparks of im mortality," but it is not our purpose now to make a boastful comparison between St. Stephen's and the Roman Forum ; it is the new Italian Parliament which at present claims our consideration, and if that Parliament only fulfil the promises it has already held forth, it will have little cause to shrink from compa rison with its illustrious and ancient predecessor. The Italian Parliament very properly commence their inaugural address by expressing their gratitude to the liberal and patriotic Prince who, to use their own words, " has called them to the exercise of political life—given a reality to their rights—and laid the foundations of a true, just, and unchangeable liberty." They afterwards proceed to particularise their own projected line of policy. " Our utmost intellectual endeavours," say they, " shall be directed to harmonize as best we may, and in the shortest possible time, Vie national unity. This is the first goal of all our thoughts, and substantial aim of every design. , They then express their solicitude for the establish ment of an Italian League, supported by " the vic torious sword of CHARLES ALBERT and the authority of the Pontificate." " But as we see clearly," they add, "that such a league could be bound by no other tie than a National Diet, we express our most fervent wishes that you yourself (Pius) would, in this Rome, become its centre and commencement." Then, while they admit that it was honourable to the sacerdotal ministry, and most concordant with the celestial mind of Pius that he should pronounce among belligerents a word of peace," they, neverthe less, declare their ctnviction that " the Italian people ought not and cannot lay doNn their arms, but that, on the contrary, they should •endeavour to re-invigorate the war until their column country shall be recognised in its natural frontiers"--for this War, they add, is a defensive and just star. After thus dwelling upon their external position, the Italian Parliament next proceed to dilate Ilion their internal administration. They admit Out at present ting off the excess o le expenßes an le mu plicity of offices, by reducing the pensions, by a better distribution of taxation, by the available pro duction of the national property, and by taking off restrictions in commerce, we do not despair," say they, "of being enabled to surmount our present difficulties." Verily, for an infant Parliament this essay of statesmanship is well enough ! There are other places besides Rome where the suggestions of this para graph might be studied with advantage. It is unnecessary for us to particularise every individual sentence of this address. Here is one paragiaph, however, which, in justice to the noble ambition of the Italians, we cannot refrain from quoting. ," If the difficulty of the undertaking can be surpassed by the desire, we are heartily disposed to lend you. our support in every social improvement; we will make it our study to eradicate the !roots of guilt and misery. What .would it avail us to have new laws, were stupid or wicked executors still to administer them ? What would prisons avail if, instead of cor recting the guilty, the reciprocal tuition in all kinds of vice were still suffered in them? Our principal atten tion is directed to that portion of the people whose labour supports our life; we will procure them help; we will remove obstacles from the industrious work man and the honest farmer, so that their bread may be gained by the sweat of their brow, but no longer moistened by their tears." Sentiments such as these require no comment, they pronounce themselves their most forcible commendation. Said we not right that , if the new Roman Parliament fulfil all its fair pro mises it will not have occasion to shrink from a com parison with its predecessors ? SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 15th have arrived. They contain no intelligence. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 15.—Three per Cents., 20} paper; after Bolsa, 20i 5-16 cash. Five per Cents., 11 cash. Passives, 4} paper ; after Bolsa, 4 cash. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The trials of the insurgents are to be proceeded with forthwith. The murderers of General BREA have been recognized. The man who fired the shot which killed the unfortunate General is named CHARLES VICTOR VELPERO, and was arrested at Vitry. His accomplice is named CROPART. It was Cumin who urged on his companions to massacre the General and his aide-de-camp. The Committee of the National Assembly charged to investigate the causes of the insurrection has, 'it is said, developed those causes in a satisfactory manner in its report, which will be presented in a few days. BOUCHARR is the reporter. Le Droit says that the number of killed and wounded on both sides during the late insurrection exceeds ,i 3,000. The following project of a decree has been pre sented by M. PASCAL DUPRAT to the Committee on the Laws of the Press : Art. 1. Every Frenchman, having civil and political rights, shall have the right to publish his opinion by speAking or by the press, complying with the following conr44oris :-2. The declaration to be made before the publieta-ao4 pf any journal, shall contain the name, resi dence, and prodOEsion, of the chief editor. 3. All manu scripts, signed by tiiPir nuthors, shall be delivered to the printers, who shall be 1.440il tg produce them for any poses of justice. 4. Proceedings may be taken at the rake time against the chief editor and printer for every art444e pot signed, who shall be liable to the same punishment th 4 igiOt have been inflicted on the author. S. Every writer who shag #lopt a false signature, for the purpose of avoiding respousibiliq' l stall lose his civil rights for a term not exceeding five yearo, viithout pre judiee to any other punishment to which be rpa Pr liable, 4. Jlis accomplices also shall be liable to the same punishment, 7. Whoa a PDrnal shall have been three times found guilty of publishing gilder false signatures, it may be suppressed, 0, The cbAef editor shall always be included in any proceedings against any other editor, unless he can show that the era.* has been inserted without his knowledge. 9. All previous laws as to caution money, and the responsibility of the eonduotor of the journal, are abrogated. According to the Afeseager, both France and Eng land are about to send a fleet to the Black Sea to watch the proceedings of Russia. - - - - The promotion of M. Sinoua to the Archbishopric of Paris is officially announced in the Afewiteur. M. DE CORMENIN, on Tuesday, visited at Vin cennes the persous confined there for the attempt of May 15. He saw MM. BARNES, ALBERT, SOBRIER, and RASPAIL. He found the three first calm and ex pecting to be amnestied; hut M. RASPAIL was ex ceedingly violent. He speaks during the night time aloud, and at great length, as if before his judges; in the morning he falls into a state of great prostra tion, and the gaolers are obliged to bathe his temples with cold water to recal him to himself. The pri soners asked for, permission to see their families, and to be allowed to walk out. Geneneral COURTAIS is still at the Conciergerie. M. DORNES, one of the editors of the National, and a Member of the National Assembly, died on Wed nesday of the wound he received while attacking one of the barricades in the late insurrection. M. Blzzo has been elected one of the Vice-Presidents of the Chamber by a large majority, the numbers being — M. BIYIo, 228 ; M. TRELAT, 57 ; M. VIVIEN, 26. The vacancy was occasioned by the election of M. ARMAND MARRAST to the Presidency of the Chamber. BOURSE, PARIS, THURSDAY, JULY 20. - - - THREE o'CLoca.—The business done to-day was very limited, but the prices were firm, and with a slight tendency to a rise. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 20. _ _ Boulogne and Amiens, 7—Northern of France, 5- Orleans and Bourdeaux, 1 3 / 4 —Rouen and Havre, 8%. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Wiener Zei4uv, of the lith, contains a decla ration by Baron DonLuoFr, who has been charged by the ARCHDUKE with the formation of the new Minis try, stating that the programme is already completed, and has been sent to the ARCHDUKE REGENT for his approbation. The following are said to be the Minis ters proposed by Baron DOBLHOFF:— Interior—Baron Doblhoff. Foreign Affairs—Baron Wessenberg. Finance—Mr. Stiftl, sen. Commerce—Mr. Horncastle. Public Works—Mr. Schwarzer (Editor of the Oesterrischische Zeitime). War—General Schonhals (at present in Italy). Justice—Dr. Bach. Public Worship—Dr. Forster (a Catholic priest, and leader of the University). PRUSSIA. The office of President of the new German Cabinet was offered by the Archduke Jorm to M. CAMP HAUSER, and refused by him. It is said that the King of PRUSSIA has written to M. CAMPHAUSEN urging him to withdraw his refusal. SAXONY. In the Second Chamber, during the sitting of the 14th, M. TSSCHEIND asked whether the Government was disposed to submit to the decisions of the Frank fort Parliament, or not to consider them as valid until they had received the assent of the Saxon Govern ment. The unity of Germany would exist only on paper, if the resolutions of its Constituent Assembly required the sanction of thirty-eight different Go vernments. The Minister, M. DE PFORDTEN, replied that the Cabinet would shortly bring in a Bill on the subject of their position with respect to the Frankfort Assembly, when a full opportunity would be afforded of examining the question. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. llAstliuitnii, JULY I.s.—Yesterday afternoon Ge neral WRANGEL and Count PORTAL'S, attended . by his whole st a ff, ro d e f rom H a d ers l e b en t o Yulchng, about a league from thence, for the purpose of having an interview with the Danish General-in-Chief, and of concerting measures for the armistice. In Ha dersleben itself great expectations are entertained that this conclusion will be satisfactorily arrived at. The Prussian troops in that town were commanded to be in marching order at five o'clock in the afternoon. The Swedes have been accused by the Danes of not taking a sufficiently lively interest in the war between Denmark and Germany. In reply to these insinua tions, the Ilialmor Snell Post, in a half official article, calls the attention of the Danes to the declaration made by th e Swedish Government, w hi c h expressly interfere in a warnlie manner in tne Oente2Wlg-flol stein question. It would be very unwise to deviate from this principle, at a time when negotiations for peace are in progress. It is the object of Sweden to secure the most favourable conditions to Denmark by its inter vention, but not to back Denmark in its plans of re criminations upon Germany. ALTONA, JULY 15.—We are confidently informed that the conditions of the armistice demanded by the Germans are the evacuation of Alsen by the Danes, and the unaltered subsistence of the Provisional Government. A great number of the convalescent have gone to the north. HANOVER, JULY 13.—The Hanoverian Government has sent the Minister of War, PROTU, and the Go vernment Councillor, HOPPERSTEDT, to the Archduke JohN, to salute him as Regent of the Empire. The deputation was proceeding to Vienna, but was induced at Berlin to change their route, and to follow the REGENT to Frankfort, which it probably reached yesterday, and discharged its commission. If we are rightly informed, the return of these gentlemen is not immediately expected, for, independently of the congratulations which they are to deliver, and which are not altogether without import, from our Government, the commission is charged with other business, the settlement of which will probably require negotiations before a satisfac tory result can be obtained. The objevt at'. these ne— gotiations may be inferred from the palitical views of these deputies. These negotiations have respect to the operations of the army and the regulation of the customs. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, JULY 19.—1 n one of the last sittings of the Second Chamber of the States• General, the special Committee appointed for this object made its report on the state of superior, ordinary, and elemen tary instructions in the kingdom of the Netherlands in 1845 and 1846. The report observes that the State examinations prevent foreigners from frequent ing the Netherlands universities. That this exami nation, which piecedes admission into the University, might be dispensed with, since it is not followed by other equally rigorous examinations during the aca demic course, and on quitting the University. The Committee highly disapproves the promotion en thesis in the faculty of the law. The Committee has not yet been able to arrive at a conclusion rela tive to a union of the three universities of the State into one. With respect to elementary instruction, the Committee declares that the documents furnished by the state are quite insufficient. It points out the bad state of schools in various districts, without, how ever, pointing out the remedy. BELGIUM. The Moaiteur Beige, of the 19th, announces the appointment of M. FITERE ORLIN, Minister of Public Works, as Minister of Finance, and of M. ROLIN as Minister of Public Works. M. FREI:IN ()TINIAN had for some time held the Finance department together with his own, and had given proofs of his capability to fill that post by the talent he displayed in the nu merous and important debates on financial subjects which have lately taken place in the Belgian Cham bers. The new Minister of Public Works, M. Routs, is a distinguished barrister, and a member of the town council of Ghent. lie is not a member of either Chamber, but in Belgium a Minister holds a se# by fight. The appoil4mer4 of M. 4 44 allay il)e discontent of the 'lemish population, wbo complained of not being represented in the Cabinet. ITALY. SICILY. Letters from Palermo of the 11th confirm the in telligence of the election of the Duke of GENOA to be of Sicily. The Chamber had not come to a decision after a deliberation of three days, when the National Guard surrounded the place of meeting, and declared that no Deputy should be permitted to leave until they should have come to some decision. At midnight the election of the Duke of GENOA wu announced, and on Tuesday there were great rejoic ings.

The following official bulletin has been issued by Marshal RADETZKY : OFFICIAL BULLETIN. " Head-quarters, Vienna, July 5. " The position of the army is still the same, as well as my operations in regard to the movements of the • enemy. Tb e King, with about 30,000 men of his army, is stationed between Villafranca and Ruverbella, where his head,q,uarters still are. He appears to be securing this position against an attack by entrenchments and barricades. (Signed) " COUNT RADETZKY, " Field-Marshal." THANCERY..-(THIS DAY.)

His Honun having intimated -- yesterday, that it was his opinion that the plaintiff should bring an action in this case, and that it should be tried at the next assizes, the case was put on the paper today in order to enable the parties to agree upor. certain admissions. After some considerable dis cussion this morning the matter ended by the plaintiff being ordered to bring an action at the next Gloucester Assizes, to ascertain whether the case was in the opinion of a jury one for nominal or substantial damages, the declaration i❑ that action to be made before Tuesday next, and an interim injunction to issue until the result of 'that action was known. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Glennan and William il‘Queen, two lads, were charged before Mr. Hammond, with stealing a lace shawl from the shop of Mr. Jackson, silk-mercer, &c., Islington-green. It appeared that on Tuesday evening, about nine o'clock, the prisoners were observed by a boy named Higgins, to be lurking about the shop; and knowing that they were reputed theives, he watched them, and at length saw Glennan take from the door way what he supposed to be a black veil; he handed it to the other prisoner, and they both ran off in different directions. Higgins gave an alarm instantly, bat the prisoners for that time got clear off. Being known, they were found yesterday, and taken into custody. They denied all knowledge of the theft. The shawl was found to have been pledged on Wed nesday morning by a female, and to give the police time to trace her, the case was remanded to Tuesday. The Hon.

It is entitled "Sadness and Gladnes s , " a story of the present day, and is , w e hear, likely to render this successful writer more popu lar tha n even her first work, " Home and its Influence." SAFETY raoat LIGHTNING,—Last evening a,, sug gestion for the preservation of life during thunder-. storms was made by Mr. Lham Baggs, in the course of his lectures upon the Phenomenon of Light nin g , now being &livered at the Royal Polytechnic Institution. " Those," sa id t h e lecturer, " who don't mind being drenched by rain , may effectually screen themselves from the po ss ibili ty ' of danger, when walking through a town or city in a thunder-storm, by catching hold of a lamppost--as the pipes running. under ground, must necessarily carry off the electricity, and thereby save the passer-by from destruction." He challenged any scientific man to deny the accuracy of this suggestion. THE CHARTIST C ON VICTS. —Yesterday 30s. was paid at the gate of Tothill-fields House of Correction to release Mr. Ernest Jones for one month from oakuus picking, t o w hi ch h e h a s been, in common with his fellow Chartist convicts, subjected since his incarcera tion, and will be in default of the payment of a weekly sum of 55., the charge made by the county for his maintenance. BALLS AND SHELLS FROM RIISSIA.—A vessel ar rived in the river from Odessa has brought, as a portion of her cargo, between two and three thousand of old balls and shells, consigned to order. rsw~ CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAYNy Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our market, coastwise as well as by Lind carriage and samples, have been seasonably good, and of full average quality. The show of samples to-day exceeding the wants of the buyers, whose attendance was somewhat limited; the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was in a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's prices. The best Farcels of Foreign Wheat were mostly disposed of, at late rates. In the middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing, and prices were with difficulty supported. Scarcely a simple of English Bar ley was in the market, but the show of foreign was good. The trade was heavy, and the quotations ruled in favour of the buyers. Malt, the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly, at barely late figures. The Oat trade was in a very depressed state, and, in some instances, prices were quite 6d per' quarter lower. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, very dull. ARRIVALS. Wheat. 6,1540 qrs. English ...... Barley. Oats. I Flour 20 qrs. 530 qrs. 2,160 sk 900 1 _ 41,740 -- 1ri5h.........

The supply of Beasts on offer in to day's market being very moderate, the attendance of beyers on the increase, and the weather more favourable to slaughter ing, the Beef trade was steady at an advance on Mon day's quotations of 2d per 81bs, some of the primest Scots producing 4s 4d per Blbs, and at which a good clearance was effected. The arrival from Scotland comprised 280 Scots and 460 Sheep.

Jove being one day in a mood rather merry No one very well knew what the reason could be, Some say it was caused by an odd glass of sherry Or perhaps Mrs. Juno had gone out to tea; Whatever it was, being bent on a freak, He call'd Mercury in, and began thus to speak: " My jolly young spark, I've had sad news from earth, A most dreadful disease lately known as ennui Has caused amongst mortals th' extinction of mirth, And I'm fully resolved this no longer shall be." Quoth Mercury " That need not trouble you, sire. Haven't they Charles Dickens and Albert Smith there?" " Yes, but these :are but man, boy, and what they require," Said Jove, " is the far-famed ninth statue so fair, So lend me your aid, and a creature we'll form, So perfect and rare, she'll take Europe by storm. First get me some clay and a shape I will mould, Such as never poor mortals before did behold; And send to the Graces, and say I'd be glad If the model of two of their feet could be had; Bid Cupid attend me, that saucy young file, For I think I shall want just to borrow his smile, Next fetch me two planets, I'm resolved that her eyes, Of all hearts, shall each citadel take by surprise Then, go catch me a Mermaid, my Statue I swear Shall borrow the Syren's sweet voice and bright hair. The mouth is a puzzler: 4 but Cupid you know Can easily lend us the shape of his bow Stay, be not so hasty, the Mermaid must bring Of the purest of pearls, a beautiful string. My enchantress, though almost a goddess 'tis Must have teeth, for she cannot well live upon dew." Fleet Mercury now, having brought all these articles, Jove's wonderful art soon united the particles. A form so divine then appeared to the sight, That for mere mortal's eyes was almost too bright I Jove viewed, quite enchanted, a work so entire, And quickly endued it with wit's sacred fire. Then to Mercury cried, ",No time must be lost, Of charms for all ills she possesses a host; Quick bear her to earth, she will cure par le Million." " But what shall we call her?" Said Jove, " ANNA TISILLON t 1" /1. J. ST. LEGER. NATIONAL HALL SCHOOL, HIGH HOLBORN. —The pupils of this school, established ,.. within th e l ast s i x months, visited Mr. Catlin 1, Indian Gallery, f or t h e pur pose of inspecting the portraits, landscapes, costumes, &c., in illustration of the mann ers and customs of th e North American Indians. The school numbered up wards of two hundred, and notwithstanding the short time since its establishment, and the fact of its being composed of the families of the working classes and tradesmen, the children proved themselves worthy their treat —they listened with evident delight and satisfaction to the lecture delivered by Mr. Catlin, who is well cal culated to please the simple and the pure among the white, as well as among the coloured portion of our spec i es . After the lecture the school visited the Na tional Gallery; and during the day one section, upwards of one hundred children, visited that vast storehouse of Nature's wonders, the British Museum—they passed several hours in admiring and inquiring about these objects, atter which they returned to the school, partook of their temperate repast, sung their songs of joy and gladness, then returned to their respective homes with happy hearts, to communicate their happiness to their several families. The events of this day prove that the children of the English artisan, under moderate training, can exhibit that decorum of conduct which has hitherto been the pride of the wealthy classes, as it has been the oppro brium of the poorer classes of our own countrymen. AN EITRAORDINAY CH ARA CTER. -At Dalma croieh, in the parish of Strathconan, resides a hale, eccentric old man, of the goodly age of eighty. From his whitened hairs, advanced years, and declining strength, he knows that his lease of life will soon be out; and in order to perpetuate the custom of one of his ances tors, he has resolved to await the last twinkle of his days in an old arm chair, which has been handed down in the family f or th e l ast two centur i e s.

CITY, QtIAI?TgR `TO 7 BREE There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpoo hyesterday. Middling and inferior American qualities were eld for prices rather against the buyers. Sales, 5,000 bales; American realised 32d. to 5.0. per lb. Railway Shares were in good demand, and looking up. The continental advices appear to be of very little in terestkin a commercial point of view. The great objects of attention now are the cholera and the next harvest, and the progress of the one is as unfavourable as that of the other is cheering. The Corn market is lower again this morning in Mark-lane. One or two ship arrivals are announced from South Australia, &c., but the dates are not later. The Amsterdamsche Couranig mentions that the Council of State had been assembled till midnight, and that the subject of discussion was presumed to be a project of law bearing upon the finances, containing the abolition of existing excises, and the substitution of new means of revenue. Although it was considered almost a matter of cer tainty that the Bank of England would yesterday have reduced the current rate of discount, the state of affairs in Ireland is now held to justify a little reserve. The fluctuation in Stocks has been very decided again to-day. Consols opened well at 84 i, but have since been 841, and are now tizi i t , Bank Stock is worth 200, the highest price realised for a long time past. Exchequer-bills have been 465. to 51s. premium.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—About noon on Ti 1131" day last, a fellow in a state of perspiration and appal ent concern, knocked at one of the Camden-road viii :as, Camden -town, and inquired if Mrs. --- was at ho me, ae her husband had met with a dreadful accident, and was lying at his office in town, requiring a change of linen and clothing. O❑ being informed that the 1 ady was from home, but ►would return in an hour, the fel low most unaccountably left the house without waiting for the articles, but returned at the expiration of the h( .ur, inquiring whether Mrs. - had returned. On be iug answered in the negative, he desired that no time ml. ght be lost, but that he might be furnished with the clothi as the gentleman was suffering from the want of it, & nd much disappointed that it had not been sent in the fi rat instance. A coat, a pair of pantaloons, and a shirt wore then delivered to the fellow, when he enjoined the feu rant not to mention the accident to her mistress, but; to press her instantly on her return to go to her husbes id at his office. It is needless to state that the dreadful 4o' &dent was an invention of a practised thief. BIRTHS. On the 14th inst., at Uxbridge, the wife of W. H. CA tie, Esq., of a daughter.
