PROTESTATION. Tarnow (Galicia), May 15th, 1848. We, ir.habitants of Tarnow and its neighbourhood, Penetrated with grief for the fate of Cracow, and terror for that with w hi ch we are threatene d , k now i ng by a f earful and grievous experience how unarmed and inno cent peopl e are t o rt ure d an d assass i na t e d, declare before our countrymen and the world, to whom our recent mis fortuneslv (in 1846) h ave ma d e k nown our ex istence, that .tohreeetshnhraere unanimously and deeply the sentiments of our of Cracow, and loudly proclaim with them, that Scenes provoked by the au thorities of that city on the _ 25 th of April l as t, d o i n n o manner justify the m assacre perp e t ra t e d on th e nex t d a y by the Austrian tantry and artillery, upon an inoffensive unarmed po ration—upon women an d c hild ren —they do not justify ye e bombardment of the city, and the throwing of con- T' i re rock e t s , w i t h t h e v i ew o f se t t i ng fire to it; nor tho "reiug and di s ba n di ng of the National Guard, nor the dissolution of the National Committee, nor the ex pulsion of our brothers scarcely returned from a long nor the establishment of military rule, nor the contribution for war expenses and damages to private tr a oPerty, i mpose d upon the c i ty, w hi c h th e Government d previously, with an unfortunately successful and Persevering system, stripped of all its resources. We see in these acts a degree of violence and injustice 411 Paralleled even among the innumerable cruelties which VP ur ,reas our country. h.: e see clearly that neither constitutions nor lib ert y ve altered the resolutions of our oppressors to exter aTuate or annihilate the Polish nation, and to over relna us in the eyes of the world, with the vilest mnies as during the late events ot the Duchy of Posen. But, like our brothers of Cracow, we adore with love and humility th e m i racu l ous hand of Providence, which, under the mortal blows that never cease to betal us, awa kens within us the spirit of national life. Tha nks d o that same Providence, the congreve rockets sho wered w n upon wooden roofs have not ignited them , a nd the w t „ Y , wherein re p ose th e ashes of St. Stanislaus, and ere our Pi as t s an d Jagellons have reigned, has been mira culously preserved. sa„, \ T i th our brethren of Cracow, we rest our trust in h ; and we p ro t es t aga inst the odious treatment which been inflict e d on them; we feel it as if we were its ri a eti ms, and we denounce it before all nations and men, ith whom the words of " native land," " justice," and hu manity," have not lost their meaning.

Geor ge K n i g ht, a ge d 25, described as a bargeman, b as indicted for stealing two sacks containing nine bushel s , o f w h eat, t h e p ro perty of Messrs. Murrill and "., his employers, value 2/. 9s. The prisoner was stopped rowing a boat, containing e property, at one o'clock on the morning of the 7th ° I dune, by an inspector of the Thames police. The 4 aelcs were marked with his master's name, and as he told a prevaricating story with respect to them, he was taken into custody. The prisoner was employed in the barge from which the sacks were stolen. lie was found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' Imprisonment, with hard labour. Mr. Vernon, who is charged with uttering " seditious Words," having been placed at the bar, Mr. PARRY said he was prepared, on behalf of the defendant, to give notice of bail to the Treasury, in order that his client might be liberated. He proposed to offer two sureties in 50/, and the defendant in any amount the Court might think proper to name. Mr. BODKIN, who appeared for the Crown, stated that he had been instructed not to oppose the application, sold therefore he proposed bail would be accepted, if it Proved satisfactory on inquiry. He had looked into the affidavits of the defendant, and he found that he was "1 in a condition to give very high bail. 14 is rumoured that t he p ersons charged with a similar n ence to that imputed to Mr. Vernon will not be tried 61 8 , session; that they intend, a fter being liberated on "'II to traverse until the next. NE W COURT. • The Court was occupied all the morning in trying "lilar cases devoid of public interest.

The opportunities which the writer b e inYed of knowing the personal history of all the mem ti,rea v or the Royal Family, and of studying the aspect of • t , Ines in which they were brought forward with such ?tnar prominence, cannot fail to render these me °lr3 i nteresting not only to the historical but to the general reader. 11ti4,EMORNE GARDENS. —Notwithstanding the very urourable state of the weather for out-door enter -110-7:112,nta these gardens were yesterday attended by a to - tv ,"" rn at ' numerous and respectable company.

". 14 V, MONEY and COMMERCIAL N NV S. CITY, QUARTER TO TH , ep . The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales 4,000 lo 5,000 bales. American realised 31,1. To 58d. per lb. Prices were much the same as on Friday last. Railway Shares were tolerably firm. A inocf,rate business was done. More stock was offiring, but pre vious rates were obtained. A perusal of foreign papers, and the information de rived from private mercantile letters, does not afford us any information of a cheering nature with respect to the state or prospects of trade on the Continent. Private accounts from Lyons mention that business there is so miserably depressed that almost any change would prove a relief, and war, consequently, was be coming much more popular, even among the reflecting and moderate people. The writer expresses his deter mination to quit Lyons and reside in Hamburgh for the present, where, bad as matters may be, ho expects to be surrounded by less excitement and distress. Accounts of Feb. 5 from Adelaide, South _Mist alb, state that the colony was in a flourishing condition. What with mining pursuits, land sales, boiling-down establishments, arrivals of immigrants, and a surplus revenue, one would receive the impression that South Australia is now the most nourishing settlement of the mother country. Still it should be borne in mind that mining industry is the chief " stay" of the colony, and that in this respect it may be less suited than others to the agriculturist. The ships Royal Archer and Success had arrived out from England with emigrants. Swan River advises of January 10 advert to the extreme scarcity of labourers, who are stated to be re ceiving ss. a day in many instances. It is mentioned as a " piece of news," that so great was the scarcity of lawyers there, that application had to be made to the legal fraternity at Adelaide, to fur nish a gentleman qualified to conduct a suit in equity. Formerly the mercantile marine of the Hon. East India Company was superior to that of any other body, at home or abroad, but despite our navigation laws the palm is no longer with us, for it is indisputable that the most splendid ships now engaged in commerce are the American " liners," as they are distinguishingly termed. There is a vessel now in the London Docks, the Devonshire, which should excite the emulation, as it must the admiration, of our ship ping interest, and we are not surprised that her urbane commander, Captain Morgan, succeeded yes terda) in inducing a numerous and distinguished party, including several of the foreign Ambassadors, &c., to inspect the ship. If, as Mr. Bancroft justly remarked upon the occasion, it is commerce that civilises, and the weavers shuttle hat winds the bonds of amity around nations, if, as his Excellency no doubt truly further stated, it is the pride of the American to trace his origin from the old country, and his earnest wish that come what may, the " States" and England will con tinue, with other " goods," to drive free trade in "good feeling," we can imagine no more pleasing sight than that of a noble ship constantly traversing the Atlantic, freighted not alone with cargo, but with friendly visitors. M. Van der Weyer also dwelt upon the pleasing topic of peaceful relations, nor was the Dutch Ambassador behind him in his senti ments. Such ships as the Devonshire, the Prince Albert, and others of that class do more to " bridge" the Atlantic, and increase the wealth of Europe and America, by honourable rivalry and indefatigable in dustry, than all the " protective " laws we can devise. As a passing remark, we should state that the American Government, far in advance of every other, has made the most satisfactory proposals to the British Cabinet respecting the estab lishment of much less restrictive laws upon shipping, and we have learned, in the course of conversation with American sea-faring men, that our shippers might enjoy participation in the whole coasting trade of America, provided we conceded corresponding advantages. The Funds have given way to-day upon some money sales being pressed, and there is very little doing, the advance of yesterday afternoon, when Consols reached 834 I deterring speculation.

This new ballet-di verti , sPment. the capo d'opera of the season of " it fantasy ballerina" Perrot, is said by all the adepts accustomed to estimate the value of devices, in spite of obscurity, halt-finished scenery, and half, finished dresses, to be a most remarkable imaginative and poetical composition. It needed all these qualities, and required to possess extreme variety with its complexity, for it is a pas monstre— twice as long as any other ever attempted. It will last fifty minutes without pause and with encorces. With poets, sculptors, painters, and composers, " The Seasons" have been a very favourite sub ject; but as far as we could observe at the re hearsal M. Perrot has had but scant assistance from his predecessors, and, like Thompson, has been compelled to win down from her "hermit seat" inspirations "by mortals so seldom found." It is true that in preparing this treat for the public, M. Perrot has not been obliged to submit to the dire condition of the cookery book, "first catch your fish ;" he has had ready at his command talents more nume rous and of a higher order than ever were brought together. But it such wonderment prevailed at how the ingredients were managed, so that they should amalgamate, in the famous pas de deux, de trois, and de quatre, still more extraordinary must be deemed the conquest achieved now, when it is considered what an invidious subject is . " The Seasons" for ladies of " the fantastic toe." However serene Mr. Marshall might be inclined to paint the sky, " vapours, and clouds, and storms," must be expected to arise par ici, par la; and the French ballet composer might be supposed less eager than the English poet of " The Seasons," to exclaim, " Welcome kindred gloom! Congenial horrors hail!" Although we speak, of course, but by guess, it might be surmised that there had been some slight convul sion, for in his ballet, M. Perrot does not begin the " varied year," like the poet does—with spring. The ballet commences by winter, but so joyously that it cannot be long after " Merrie Christmas." By this arrangement Mdlle. Marie Taglioni is greatly the gainer—she enacts 'Winter, and, as no costume is found to exhibit young ladies to so much advantage as the costume of their grandmothers, the contrast of real spring and artificial winter is highly favourable. Rosati encounters the character of Autumn with no less advantageous piquancy of result. Carlotta appears all " blooming as Summer," &c. Each fair leader comes on in turn with eight attendant nymphs, and, after performing, thus supported, her introductory step in the masque, dis appears. In the next scene the whole theatre re presents a parterre—the stage below is covered with flowers, and above is a conservatory admirably painted, the whole presenting a striking coup d'ceil. The whole of the dramatis persona reappear, and the four great danseuses alternateiy execute varia tions, groups, or quick concerted dances. During the pauses of the principals the coryphees and corps de ballet on each side all join in the dances. Of the fascinating character of the groups, of the origina lity of the variations, and of the daring but still ex quisitely graceful feats to be performed, we can speak confidently from yesterday's rehearsal. But we shall require the full performance and the blaze of light to do justice to M. Perrot's magnum opus. THE THEATRES, &c. DRURY•LAIVE. The attempt to turn Drury-lane into a Theatre Historique (so called "ut Letts a non lucendo,") for the representations of the somewhat loosely con structed, and more than rather immoral dramas of Alexandre Dumas, has turned out a failure. The attempt to revolutionize the English stage by deposing Shakspere, and setting up Dumas, aroused the indignation of the English frequenters of Drury-lane to such a pitch, that they last evening created such an emeute as has not been equalled since the days of the 0. P. rows. The pit and boxes were filled long before the rising of the curtain, and the performance of the National Anthem was greeted with shouts of applause, but no sooner did the curtain rise for the performance than the uproar began and continued without intermission until the conclusion, so that the whole piece (the first part of Monte Christo) passed off in dumb show. M. Jullien came forward and made a vain attempt to address the audience. It was useless, and after half-an-hour's pantomime he took his departure. A gentleman in the boxes tried to make a speech, but of course no one listened to him, and another in the pit, who made a similar attempt, met with no better success. The storm might, perhaps, have subsided somewhat as the evening advanced, had not some person connected with the management most injudiciously introduced a posse of policemen into the pit, who seized some two or three individuals who were hissing. Had they been engaged in tearing up the ben ches, or in doing any damage to the property, we could have understood this introduction of the police, but under the circumstances of the case it was most inju dicious, and the consequence was that the uproar was renewed with more violence than ever, and the last chance of obtaining audience for even a portion of the play lost. The play proceeded in dumb show to the conclusion. We could not hear a word of the dialogue, but judging from the scenery and the pantomime we should say it was an average Victoria melodrama, which, if acted at the Victoria, might run for a week or two, but which could never hope to obtain the popularity which many of the Surrey and Victoria melodramas have attained. At the conclusion Mons. Jullien led forward M. Melinque, who had played the part of Monte Ch r i sto. Some bouquets were thrown him from the followed by showers o f orange peel from the pit. The performances w ere over s h o rtly after eleven o'clock. private boxes and the orchestra, _HAYMARKET. The performances at this theatre last night call for no particular notice. Novelty there was none. The " great attraction for the holidays," as the bills have it, was the repetition of pi eces w hich have already re ceived, and deservedly so, the favour of the discri minating audiences who frequent this theatre. The entertainments commence with Mr. Lovell's play of The Wife's Secret, a model of its kind, which dra matists who wish to hit the taste of the age would do well to study. It has now been performed at this theatre for the forty-third ti me , an d yet its attraction increases. Mr. and Mrs. Kean, who represented the hero and heroine, and Mrs. Keeley, who enacted the subordinate part of Maud, had the honour of a call before the curtain at the end of the performance, and were heartily applauded. Previous to the commence ment. of the next piece, Mr. Gerhard Taylor gratified the audience with a very b r illi an t performance on the harp. The one-act piece en titl e d the Pal de Fas cination ; or, Catching a G overnor , by Mr. Stirling Coyne, followed, in which the artless extravagances of Mrs. Keeley contributed not a little to the amuse ment of the audience. The grand romantic extrava ganza of the Castle of Ot ran t o , produced at this theatre on Easter Mond ay , an d no ticed at the time, concluded the evening's entertainments. The house was very well attended. There were no holiday ADE noveltiesPHnight, the current pieces which have b ee n performing there for the last few weeks—namely, Th e Har vest L at this house last i Home, Going to the Derby, and the Double-bedded Room, having furnished the IVhitsuntide entertain- merits. The inclement character of the weather, in all probability, prevented a large attendance in the early part of the evening, for, although the pit and gallery were tolerably well filled immediately after the opening of the doors, the boxes did not present a full array of occupants until a subsequent period, a more respectable and when the rain had ceased to fall in such copious torrents as it had done previously to eight o'clock. s a e a e s v o a n a s t u s o u f a a l lnyyfurnish conse quence fil About filled, and d e periodthen exhibited alluded to p e rf or ra house e gradually orderly audience than hol w id a a s y n wtoitthheanemeeinaz and there , The to demand a particular notice in the course of the evening.

But we had the lively,. careful, and clever acting of late yea rs , charac which has almost inv ariably, terised the representation of French plays at the St. James's. In the principal piece, l'Etourneau, M. Ravel depicted with great force and humour one of the thousand stage modifications of the character of a nervous and unfortunate lover. Nothing could well be more laughable than the scrapes i n t o w hi c h hi s spirit of intrigue has led him, or more natural than the terror with which he views the dangers by which he becomes surrounded.

BODMIN AND WADEBRIDGE RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A formal meeting was held to-day at the Nine Elms stations, under the provisions of Lord Wharnecliffe's Act for Authorising the Leasing the Bodmin and Wade bridge Railway, which is a mineral line, to the South Western Company. Col. Henderson in the chair. With this line were also included the Exeter and Cre diton line, and the Taw Vale and Dock Company's line. The Secretary read the statement of the proxies present, which amounted to more than three-fifths of the shares of the Company, as required by the Lord Wharncliffe's Act. Resolutions in accordance with the object of the meeting having been passed, it was dissolved. THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. — The cheese mongers in the City will close their shops, on and after today, every evening throughout the year at eight o'clock, except on Saturdays. SURREY. This theatre has always been noted for the character of its holiday entertainments, and in the hands of its present lessee, Mr. Kerschner, we venture to predict it will maintain the popularity it has hitherto enter tained with the public. For the amusement of the IVhi.suntide holiday folks the lessee last night pro duced n o l ess than three novelties. The tragedy of Don Carlos, written by the present Prime Minister of England'; Black Eyed Susan, and an entirely new piece, in three acts, called Kennyngton Crosse; or, the Old Farm•house on the Common. Of the beauties of the first piece all our readers are doubtless aware : the following is the plot:—Carlos was the only son of Philip 11. in Spain, under whose bigotted and in tolerant sway the cruelties of the Inquisition were practised with full impunity. At the congress of Chateau Cambresis, in 1559, the marriage of Don Carlos with Elizabeth, the daughter of Henry 11. of France, was proposed : but the uxorious Philip, hav ing been a second time left a widower by the death of Mary of England, took the place of his son, and married Elizabeth. Don Carlos never could forgive his father this offence. On the breaking out of the rebellion i n th e L ow C ountries Don Carlos espoused the cause of th e i nsurgents, being touched by their sufferings, and an avowed enemy to the Inquisition. Philip's growing di s lik e to hi s son having been con firmed by being inf orme d t h at Don Carlos meditated his murder, this jealous husband—this gloomy and suspicious king and un f or t unate f ather, resolved upon the destruction of his only son. Don Carlos was ultimately arrested by the King's orders, and sus pecting the fate that was marked out for him, he tried to destroy himself by various means. Philip referred the case to the council of state, then under the direction of the Grand Inquisitor, who was also the president of the Junta of Castile. Don Carlos was condemned to death, but anticipated the sentence by dying of a malignant fever in the year 1568. The melancholy fate of Don Carlos has served as a subject for several tragedies, amongst the rest the one we are at present noticing, from the pen of Lord John Russell. The tragedy served to introduce Mr. Ryder to a Surrey audience in the character of Don Carlos, which he sustained with great ability. Of Black Eyed Susan it is unnecessary for us to say much more than that it again brought before the Surrey playgoers an old friend and favourite, that very pro totype of an English sailor, T. P. Cooke. We were happy to see him in such excellent health and spirits. He is a most wonderful man considering his age, and the easy manner in which he went through the sailor's hornpipe struck us with astonishment. He eb w xu a ct s e e r v a de p er d t y u r hp o i rs u o s fip l y re sr tl e; ea: and n , sdec , of feelingly his negn second performance exceeded sr es saetdte. mpTtehd, e evening's entertainments concluded with the newlocal drama called Kennyngton Crosse, which was com pletely successful, and by proper curtailment is likely to become a favourite on this side of the water. The house, notwithstanding the weather, was crowded in every part. ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Mr. Batty last night brought out "a new grand chivalrous spectacle, in three acts," dramatised by Mr. Fitzball, founded upon Sir Walter Scott's glorious romance of " Marmion; or, the Bat tle of Flodden Field." The plot is too well known to need repetition as originally given by the great novelist, but Mr. Fitzball has deemed it fitting to alter the catastrophe in respect to Constance, who, instead of being bricked up alive in a wall, is con demned to die in a small cell, upon entering which she is followed by an emissary of the convent autho rities, who stabs her, but only wounds her in the hand, and the door closes. A smuggler, who knows of this cave, accidentally proceeds to batter down a portion of the wall, in order to save a cask of usque baugh from the fangs of the Excise officers. The unhappy doomed one is discovered, and after many escapes by flood and field Constance dies at the close of the battle, while bathing the face of the slain Marmion. The tal►leaux are extremely good, and the dresses of the knights, &c., are very splendid, those of Marmioa (Mr. Crowther), and of De Wilton (Mr. Fredericks) especially. The scenery is very charmingly pourtrayed, and the ensemble is in every respect worthy of the justly earned reputation of this theatre. Mr. Crowther's Marmion was highly creditable to that versatile performer, and his dying scene, the closing of which was given literally from the poem, " Charge, Chester, charge ! On, Stanley, on !" was peculiarly well given. " He shook the frag ment of his blade " with great fervour; nor can we omit to mention " the phantom fight" between Mar mion and De Wilton, which made us tremble for both gallant knights, so vigorously did they lay on each other with their ponderous maces, and so gallantly did their steeds rear, that we were apprehensive they would fall over the stage lights. The part of Con• stance was very prettily filled by Mrs. Moreton Brooks, who did not rant, as she is too frequently prone to do. A Highland sword dance, by Mr. W. H. Harvey, afforded much amusement. Some varied scenes i❑ the circle followed, the chief being a caval cade of a " Hungarian Brigade of Female Cavalry." The entertainments concluded with the equestrian spectacle of Timour the Tartar, compressed. Owing to the terrible state of the weather the boxes were only scantily filled. The pit and galleries were filled at half-price. The " Persian Barb," in going through some of his performances, thought proper to jump into the pit, having overshot his step in going round the circle on his hind legs, with his fore legs on the edge of the pit front. A scream followed his jumping over, but no one was hurt. The fox, too, on being " too hotly pressed" by the horses ridden by Mr. Powell, jumped into the front row of the pit, ran along the laps of several persons, but retreated to one of the equestrian side entrances, and caused some merriment only. WILLIS'S ROOMS. Mr. Julian Adams's concert, which took place last night, was remarkable for several excellencies, a judicious selection of music, combining classical pieces by the best composers, and several of the most favourite modern compositions, which were in every instance executed in first-rate style. Added to which, the artistes were mostly British —the highly gifted Collins family, the talented beneficiare, Miss Cubitt, Miss Ellen Lyon, Mr. G. Taylor, and Mr. George Collins. The novelty of the evening was the debut of Herr Muller, who has a beautiful baritone voice, remarkable for power, sweetness, and evenness. It is what the Italians call a voce simpatica. Herr Muller, on singing Schubert's celebrated song, " Der Wanderer," which was given in true artistic style, was unanimously encored, when he kindly accompanied himself, and was as suc cessful in that beauteous cansonet " Das Bachlein," by the same composer. Mr. Julian Adams's playing on the piano and Luff's patent harmonium was the theme of universal admiration ; he performed his own beautiful "Notturne" in a style that at once convinced his audience he was one of the most highly finished pianists of the day, his playing being distinguished at one time for tenderness and delicacy, while at others it was fraught with poetic fire and enthusiasm. The most interesting performance of the evening was Paganini's variations to the " Carnival de Venise," which were performed upon the violin by Miss Ro sina Collins in a manner that astonished and delighted every body. Her second appearance at these re unions fully justifies the high eulogiums that were lavished upon her at the first. Her execution was full of energy and brilliancy her scales, particularly those played staccato, were even and perfect, while her arpeggios were equally to be lauded. Her tone is full, and, when occasion requires, delicate in the extreme; not a note is ever lost, even in the pianissimo passages, added to which, her command over the most difficult traits de force was astounding. Long, loud, and rapturous applause rewarded the exertions o f the fair young artist, who was encored unanimously. , In the du e t "La Gaiete," by Chopin, for piano and violoncell o , Mr. George Collins introduced a cadenza, which was as remarkable for novelty and good taste as it was brilliantly and effectively executed. One of the g ems of the evening was its Emma Collins's eharming interpretation of Dr. Pepusch's popular song "Alexis," the accompaniment on the violoncello being exqui sitely performed by her talented little sister Victoria. The next of these agreeable re-unions will take place on the 28th inst., for which several novelties are in preparation. VAUXHALL GARDENS. The entertainments announced to take place at these gardens were of the usually attractive charac ter, but in the face of weather, which none but web footed bipeds would voluntarily encounter, they fail e d to draw even a respectable sprinkling of the depen dents upon the free list. All the out-of-door amuse ments and the fireworks exhibition, as a matter of course, were suspended. A concert in the theatre, horsemanship in the circus, and some splendid vault ing, were followed by an "Ethiopian Ohio," in which the man with the bones (Pell), arrayed in an out rageously extravagant shirt frill and collar, and Juba, whom the bills describe as " The original," men tioned in Mr. Charles Dickens's " American Notes," particularly distinguished themselves. Notwith standing the thin attendance of visitors, there was no abridgment of the performances in the theatre ; indeed they were deserving the presence of a larger and livelier audience. As it was, however, they may be said to have been addressed almost to " empty boxes." 1848, MAGAZINES-(CONTINUED). TAIT. A clear and forcible contribution begins Tait's Magazine for June, headed " Taxes on Knowledge and the Newspaper Press." From the cl os i ng sen tence of the article,- the drift of its argument may be very readily conjectured : " That red penny stamp on the corners of news sheets is a badge of slavery—a barricade of know ledge, as the window-tax is a barricade to health and light—and the country cannot be free where both exist." One of the amusing liistoriettes of Heinrich Zschokke is afterwards given to us in the form of a very glib translation : it is called " The Chapter of Accidents." Calder Campbell and Ebenezer' Elliott are among the poetical contributors to the magazine; but we must acknowledge, at once, that we are utterly at a loss to discover the meaning, or even the very faintest suspi cion of the meaning, of the " Plea for Lamartine," written by the Corn law Rhymer. The " Plea" is only composed of six verses, each verse consisting of merely four lines, yet those few lines form of them selves a labyrinth more bewildering than the vege table puzzle at Hampton Court. Mr. Percy B. St. John continues his admirable and valuable narrative of the French Revolution—a narrative which we are gratified to see now in course of publication in a se parate form. Speaking of the conduct of M. de La martine in regard to the retention of M. Ledru Rollin in the Executive Commision, Mr. St. John says that that policy is dictated by the profoundest wisdom— and Mr. St. John is at present a resident in Paris, and therefore the better enabled to arrive at a sound judgu.ent upon a circumstance of this description. Hear what he remarks upon this particular, viz., the alliance between Lamartine and Ledru Rollin : " Lamartine and Ledru Rollin, when they, on the 24th February, accepted the lead of France, were actuated by a sincere desire to be true to the people. They did nut comprehend the Republic with monarchical institutions; but democratic—pure, true. Lamartine, though wiser and more prudent than Ledru Rollin, was quite as great an enemy of aristocracy as his colleague. Though an aristocrat, he knew well how, in 1830, the people had been tricked, and he resolved to be a party to no such trick again. This explains the union of the eloquent, enthusiastic, and public mind of Lamartine with the energetic and hot-headed Ledru Rollin. Marie, Gamier Pages, and Arago, were equally republican, but their ideas were more aristocratic. Thus the Executive f oAhae triumphant facitn 2d4iffthereFde. hr L na a r m y ar h ti e n in e g ins e is p t t ed ; on the whenpromises of the k and he found his eminent colleagues inclined to hesitation, he signified, wiuhßowoellviner,,his intention of resigning, and lead ing t seemeddemocratic th Le eloquence, dr go, and the really democratic itahe C mg the sincere La o ro u r n r c t ils of the nation. nn rea i adt n it ioconv. the pe House. rtthye is scruples ag l n s and true, not to ineis too great a man, too un selfishprofit those who made it. to benefit only the middle wish lf that the Revolution shall the days of February are Jul classes —if the Republic is, like the monarchy of might as well have remainedy to a be bourgeoise—things Rollin is turbulent, hot-headed, vs' they l were. Ledru ent ; but he is the energy, the action of the Revolution—Lamartineanion nof these two head; and, in my opinion, the sincere u men is a great blessing for France, for the Republic, and the cause of democracy." Subsequently he observes, that " in uniting thus th l. moderation and activity of th e repu b l i c in e on Lamartine acted the part of a trite patriot." Describ inge the physiognomy of Paris since the 24th of Feb ruary, in a later paragraph, Mr. St. John mentions a singular fact—that the late revolution has been fruit ful in statuettes, medals, &c.—Napoleon, Robespierre, and Lamartine figuring in the first rank, and many thousands of them, and other heroes of war and liberty, being sold. The remaining portions of the magazine are of ordinary merit. DOLMAN. After an agreeable chapter on "The Spirit of Chris tian Art—Ecclesiastical Architecture," Dolman con tains a candidly and deservedly eulogistic notice of the political career of" Honest Tom Steele"— a notice not the less interesting from the circumstance of its having been penned before the Head Pacificator's attempt at self-destruction. Mr. Jerningham contributes a rather superficial sketch of Boulogne-sur-Mer—a sketch as superficial as though a topographer were to describe Trafalgar-square without even mentioning the Nelson column. The facetious " Adventures of a Schoolboy" are brought in the thirteenth chapter to a conclusion. SPORTING REVIEW. Craven, as usual, reviews the sporting events of the merry month of May, including the Chester Cup, the Derby, and the Oaks. A new story, " Two Years in the Far West," by Maxwell, is commenced, which bids fair to rival the " Wild Sports of the West." There is the same fun and merriment, coupled with sporting adventures by flood and field. Lord William Lennox contributes two articles, " Sporting Incidents at Home and Abroad," and " The Fistic Tournament, 1847." Mr. Lloyd also relates some of his exciting accounts of " Bear Shooting in Norway." In addition, we have " A Peep into the Provinces," by Actaeon, and " A Peep into Pembrokeshire," by Winesour, " Coaching as it is by ,Glendower ; " The Rabbit Beagle," by Vel veteen, " The Exhibitions," " Public Amusements of the Metropolis," &c., &c., and the usual sporting in telligence. There are two engravings," Jack Tar," and " Awaiting the Shelty." The Coursing Calendar for 1847-8 is brought to a conclusion. COLBURN'S UNITED SER VICE. There are several able professional papers in the present number. The first "On the State of the Navy," by Sir George Rose Sartorius, is well worthy of attention. The iniquitous system of impressment is particularly alluded to, which the gallant writer admits, can no longer be resorted to ; its demoralizing effects upon the character of the seamen is pointed out, and its palpable injustice in robbing those who have committed no offence of their liberties without the slightest shadow of a pretext. The naval must be rendered a desirable service, and then there will be no lack of volunteers anxious to be received. There may for a time be an increase of expenditure, but no outlay shold be spared, in order to substitute a just fur a most unjust and inequitable system. Several suggestions are offered, by which it is supposed the national service could be made popular. We would also refer to the article on " Military Estab lishments," which urges the propriety of making considerable alterations in the rules and regulations with respect to promotions and retire ments, the speedy abolition of the purchasing of corn missions, the diminution of the half pay list, and a better regulation for the general routine of home and foreign service—all valuable improvements if prac ticable, and we see no reason why they should not be so. "Military Engineering in the Sixteenh Century," and " Coals for the Steam Navy," are concluded. The Prince de Joinville's pamphlet is overhauled, and its various fallacies well exposed by Tristram. " Mili tary Education in France" is continued. The present number relates to the Polytechnic, the cavalry school at Saumur, and the veterinary school at Alfort. "The Life of the Modern Jugurtha, Abd-el-Kader," is commenced. There are also excellent papers "On National Motto es ," "'C onvict Guards," and two pleasing narratives, " A Canter from Malaga to Gra nada and back," and " Leaves from an Old Log." The number will be peculiarly welcome to professional readers, conveying much information on many im portant subjects. THE DESCRIPIIVE AI LAS OF ASThO - AND GEOGRAPHY. Part 11.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DEPARTURE COWES, JUNE 12. OF THE COURT FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT.— As at present arranged, it is understood that her Majesty and the Royal Family will leave Osborne House on Wednesday next. The Vice-Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, Sir B. Graham, Bart., Lord Godolphin, Lord Desart, Captain C. H.

NEW MODEL LODGING-HOITSE.—The Society for improving the condition of the Labouring, Classes have taken the extensive range of premises in Old Compton street, lately in the occupation of Bilk and Co., the ex tensive iron manufacturers, and they are about to con vert them into a model lodging-house, on the principle of those so successfully carried out by the society in George street and Ring -street, St. Giles's. The build ing occupies an area of 8,000 feet, extending from Dean street to Compton-street, having a frontage to both. SOUTH WALES RAIL WAY'' BRIDGE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The lamentable occurrence which recently took place. the destruction of the railway bridge across the Usk at Newport by fire, led to an anticipation that on the re construction of the bridge, some less ignitible materiel than wood would be brought into requisition. Such, however, is not to be the case. The chief engineer of the Great Western Railway Company, Mr. Brunell, has made a survey of the wreck of the bridge as it now stands, and has come to the conclusion that it shall be reconstructed on the sam e pl a n, and:of timber. The chief local engineer, Mr. Owen, having received instructions to this effect, Messrs. Rennie, Logan, and Co., the con tractors, will proceed forthwith with the rebuilding. Fortunately for them the principal portion of the original structure will be still available. A vast amount of labour and expense was expended in driving piles into the bed of the river; and as the fire did not consume the piles below high water mark, all new driviegs will be avoided. Best& s this, though the bridge was de, troyed as a whole, yet the abutments on either side of the river are still available, even to an extent into the river of two or three arches ; therefore, although it was at first feared that the opening of the line, which was in a forward state, would be delayed two years, in consequence of the fire, there are now grounds for supposing that six months, or twelve months at the furthest, will see the bridge reconstructed. It is to be hoped, however, that some proeeedure will be adopted to render any tuture construction proof against the ravages of fire, since it would be a criminal folly to expose property and life to such fearful risks as the ignition of Kyanized timber would cause. Many means have been suggested. Among others, we have heard it stated, that the con tractors will employ some surface coating upon th e work, as each part may be construct e d. 'Thick coatings of whitening are spoken of, and " rough cast" is also mentioned as a preservative. Something should be adopted,:as it is fearful to contemplate how easily chance or design might destroy the numerous bridges erected of the Kyanized wood on this and other lines. There is, we think, an imperative necessity for the Government inspector of railway bridges to pay particular attention to this important matter. FEARFUL COLLISION AT THE CREWE RAILWAY STATION. On Sunday last the station at Rugby presented a scene of unusual bustle and excitement, owing to the arrival of trains with detachments of the military for various districts of the country, iu anticipation of the reported simultaneous meetings of the Chartists and disaffected in the north of England on Whit Monday. Early in the morning troops were conveyed from the barracks at Weedon to Birmingham, and soon after four o'clock in the afternoon a train arrived with nearly six hundred of the 9th Regiment of Foot en rouse to Manchester and Liverpool. Shortly after the troops had left the station (probably in the course of half-an-hour) with two engines, a long train of empty carriages, more than forty in num ber, followed by one engine on the same line of railway. These carriages with others from several of the prin cipal stations in the north, had passed up to London on the Saturday, filled with passengers who had taken advantage of the low prices charged by the company for an excursion trip to town. There were on this occa sion no fewer than 54 carriages of the first, second, and third class carriages, all well-filled; and on Monday (yes terday) similar excursion trains from Liverpool and Bir mingham were equally long and the passengers nearly as numerous. In fact in was the general remark that, notwithstanding the great depression of the trade of the country, especially in the manufacturing districts, the "pleasure trains" never answered better, the man ner in whi c h th ey l oa d e d create d no little surprise and astonishment. The train carrying the troops, which left Rugby at f our o ' clock, reached the station at Crewe in safety, and here the officers, men, and attendants all left the carriages f or a short time. Whilst this train was awaiting . their depart ure , t h e empty carriages which fol lowed after them a rr i ve d at great speed, and rushed with considerable violence against the other train. The result of the collision was, that a first-class carriage and the break worked by th e guard were smashed, other of the carriages were greatly injured, some horse-boxes resultco uirsse, that reghaerdh were driven in, and t wo va l ua b le horses were killed by the concussion. It app ears certain that the driver had recklessly a ti i n id ue t d he his l as ess be o e f n a p i l l ac t e h d e us ualsna under arrest to await the customary judicial investiga tion. It was most fortunate that the officers and men were absent from the carriages at the time, or otherwise the loss of life would, in all probability, have been frightful. As it was, however, it is understood that no personal injury was sustained by the servants of the company or any of the passengers. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 12.

GREENWICH WHITSUNTIDE FAlR.—Never, during the memory of the " oldest inhabitant" of Greenwich, has there been such deluging rain as fell upon this town during the afternoon of yesterday. The streets were rendered impassable, and thousands who were enjoying their holiday in the park took suer under the capa cious elms which line the avenues to the renowned holi day hill. Vivid flashes of lightening and almost unin terrupted peals of thunder, attended and succeeded by the most drenching rain, however, drove even the gayest from their rendezvous, and ,almost every house where entertainments were to be had was filled with customers. The various amusements with which the fair abounded were closed, and the booths being saturated with water offered no inducement for even the most sanguine lever of the dance to venture. The stalls were deserted, and the evening closed gloomy and unprofitable. A large number of persons had visited the fair, but they were compelled to retire from the scene in evident disappoint ment, and at no inconsiderable loss to those who under take to cater for the general amusement. At the rail way every facility was given for the out-going and in coming of passengers, a large number of additional per sons having been selected to afford requisite accommo dation to all parties.

THREE MEN DROWNED IN LOCH LOMOND.—A melancholy and fatal accident occurred on Loch Lomond, upon Tuesday afternoon, about five o'clock. Three young men, named Donald Patton, William Miller, sad Malcolm M'Lachlan, left the north side of the loch, nearly opposite Luss, in a small boat. While crossing they put up the sa il, an d i n a su dd en squall the boat capsized, and all the three met with a watery grave. The bodies were found the following evening. They belonged to Luss, and were unmarried.—Scotsman. To-day (Saturday) a convict, with a beetle or large mallet, struck his keeper so severely over his eyes, nose, and forehead, that he is not expected to survive. He expressed his gratification at the violence he com mitted, and, indeed, he had threatened for some days to kill the unfortunate object of his dislike.—Hampshire Telegraph. ~,-....
