which leaves no manner of doubt whatever that you are far from being guilty of having intended any personal injury to her Majesty. It also appears that you had no associates, your act was an individual acr, of having off. red a gross insult to her Majesty ior the purpose of exciting alarm in the public mind. To present a loaded pistol at any individual, though not loaded with ball, is a most Unjustifiable net, but when that is done to the person of the Sovereign it becomes an, aggravated offence. It is offering an insult where reverence and honour are pecu liarly due; it is an outrage to public feeling, exciting great alarm until the circumstances become generally knoWn, and give assurance of her Majesty's personal safety. That offence is one of a serious nature. Your motive for it is difficult to discover, and the only conclu 'rie can come to with any degree of confidence is, that . you acted from an unfortunate desire for noto riety, in becoming an object of public attention by having produced great alarm for a short period without any real mischief being done. Her Majesty is perfectly safe from personal violence, and from the affec tion which her subjects entertain for her person, she is atUrays free from any idea of personal danger, but the desire which her Majesty peculiarly- indulges of gratit:)ing her subjects by appearing in public is not to be restrained by an insult being offered while so appearing. Protec tion must be afforded to her Majesty, so that she may be five from the apprehension of insult and the public riot ,deprived of that wholesome and useful gratification which results from their being indulged with a sight of their Sovereign. As, therefore, this act of yours appears to have - been comrait'ed for the sake of gratifying some personal vanity it is highly important that those who may be liable,or disposed to follow your example, should know that notoriety of this nature is very short-lived, and is In to be followed by severe degradation and suffering. in order, therefore, that you may be removed from the Beene of yOur actions, and that others may know that they will not long remain to enjoy the notoriety which they have so unlawfully sought, the sentence of the Court upon you for this off.mce is, that you be trans ported for the term of seven years. The prisoner; who seemed to listen to the address of the Learned Judge with sullen indifference, was then removed from the dock. TIRRIFIC EXPLOSION OF A STEAM-TUG ON THE RIVER.-(THIS DAY.) This' morning, shor ly befor- eight o'clock, the inha bitants of the Tower and Billingsgate Ward were thrown into a state of considerable alarm and excitement, in Consequence of a fearful explosion (which resembled the discharge of a large piece of ordnance) that occurred on board the steam-tug St. Michael, belonging to Mr. Edward Barker, of Battle-bridge . It appears that ; the St. Michael, which was formerly engaged at Gravesend, had for some time past been em ployed in lowiriz various descriptions of craft by and down the river. This morning she reached Billingsgate for the purpose of making fist to a fi,hing smack, which Was about to be towed out of the pool, and just as the tug was tacking off the Upper-stairs of the market a dreadftiL shock was experienced by the persons in that Place and the surrounding wharfs. An immense crowd of individuals ran to the waterside, but in the meanwhile a terrifio report was heard. It was then ascertained thi4 „some serious accident had happened on board the . ht. Michael. Boats put off from every Possible place, _ but the vessel had taken fire below, and was evidently disabled and in a sinking state. By this time steam, fire, and smoke issued from several parts of the vessel, and means were instantly Used to extricate those employed below, and with same c onsiderable difficulty they were brought on deck, very seriouely- scalded and burned on various parts of their P ar sges- The captain wished to save some valuable pro perty st o w e d away in the cabin, but they had only time to get into the,sniall boat before the vessel sunk. The * coin of_theecrew were saved, but the bottom of the tug it seems was forced out by the violence of the explosion, from What could be gleaned, is attributed to some ' , elect in the boiler. It was nearly high water at the time of the accident, t ru:no portion of the vessel is to be seen. She went i,, °a A about mid stream, and the navigation of the pool conside i rablY interrupted. The captains of the nu reeraus steam-boats and others navigating below bridge taen t compe s lled to be extremely careful to a v o id ac . A. large number of men with chain lighters are now a a gaged in making preparations for her removal from 'bs ter v o ught posno resition a , atnld it is f a lly expected that she will in , ow watr.

T" ETON FESTITAL.—The anniversary festival of the noblemen .and gentle men educated at Eton College, was held l ast n i g h t at Willi s ' s R ooms , K ing . street, St. James's. The Earl of Ellenborough filled the ch dr, and was supported right and left by the Provost of Eton and the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey, head master of the college. Among the'other guess present were the Earl of Fal tnouth, the Earl Nelson, Viscount Fending, the Vice- Chancellor of En g land, Colonel the Hon. J. Lindsay, Captain the Hon. W. Edwardes, R.N., Hon. and Rev. P. Sadie,' Hon. and Rev. A. Savile, the High Sheriff of Surrey (W: G. , Farmer, Esq.). Hon.

Dupuis, Rev. C. Abraham, Rev. C. Lutendon and Mr. W. Pickeri ng . Th e ta bl e presented ;a magnificent display, and immediately before the preiidential chair was placed an exquisitely chased model, in silver gilt, of Eton College chapel, the girt to the : foundation of his late M. jesty King William IV. The festival, went off with more than ordinary eclat, and in Pursuance of a suggestion which fell from the Vice- Chancellor of England during the evening, it is probable that a triennial re-union of old Etonisns will be organized to take place in the old hall of the college. The Earl of Falmouth has accepted the office of president at the next anniversary, W AR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Your very excellent article in The Sun of last evening, on the present exertions and objects of the I'eace Society, must be hailed by every lover of Christianity as a most opportune offering to freedom and justice. To choose the moment when humanity lies bleeding for coolly discussing the abstract right of giving physical aid; to select the very juncture when the despotic assassin stands over hii victim with uplifted blade, as the time for considering whether to seize him or agree with him, betrays a pusillanimity and inconsistency which can only arise from a posi tion and from principles false and incongruous. Such an admixture of light and darkness is neither compatible with human wisdom nor divine truth. Sir, the error lies in human legislators pretending to carry on and reconcile men made governmen'a with the pure and holy principles which Jesus gave fbr the government of his disciples, and whom the Apostle calls " a holy nation, a peculiar people." That such is the case is clearly proved in a pamphlet published in 1833, entitled " illan unfit to Govern Man," and as bearing on the present untimely interference of legislating Christians, I send you a short extract : " We have thus seen that the constitution and laws of God's people require them to keep separate from human legislation, and to have no fellowship with the unfruittul works of darkness. But not merely does the constitu tion of the church of God, the headship of Jesus, the equality of its membt.rs, its separation from the world and its objects, prevent its members from joining the government of the world, but its laws and duties equally 'orbid. . . . Again—Civil govern- ments authorise, and under some circumstances — invol% e the necessity of war. In many cases they cannot be maintained without it. To oppose war and bloodshed, therefore, on principle, is to oppose the existence of human governments themselves. Let, then, the advo cates of peace be consistent; let them draw back their in terested bands trom civil distinctions and human domina tion altogether ; let them not perplex and embarrass a government of this world with their unholy and unau• thorised admixture of light and darkness, Christ and Belial." Although, Sir, these views may not altogether agree with your own, they confirm some of your remarks, and their insertion will oblige, Yours, &c., Cheltenham, June 13, 1849. DALETH. SPQR TIN G INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON It CES.-WEDNESDAY. Although the sums offered for competition on Mout se) , Hurst contrast most unfavourably with the magnifi cent prizes run for at Ascot the week before, they are sufficient to attract a large number of horses of an infe rior grade, and by means of heats, usually furnish a satisfactory amount of sport. Hitherto, the system has been governed by •a determination to give as little and to get as much out of the meeting as possible—the mode or " carrying on the war" has been objectionable in other respects; this year, however, a more liberal feeling has been evince d by the lessees; a competent Clerk of the Course (Mr. ilibburd) has been entrusted with the ma nagement, and there is every prospect of the meeting being one of the best ever held. The commencement yesterday was highly favourable; the weather was fine and the South western Railway having given every pos• able facility, in the shape of special trains, from the Waterloo bridge station, the attendance was the largest for a first day that has been seen for many years. Be -ides several others of rank, we noticed his Royal High ness Prince George of Cambridge, attended by the Honourable Captain Macdonald, the Marquis of Exe• ter, Marquis et Drogheda, Earl of Chesterfield, Ear) 6 rathmore, Lord Dulikellin, Lord G.

The sport was t xcellen!, and so much better was time kept than under the old regime, that although the first event did not come off until a few minutes after mt. o'clock, the last heat of the Stand Plate was over by halt past five o'clock —every thing went off well; the only ground of complaint that suggested itself was the Want of a sufficient number of police. As an immense crowd may be expect, d to-day, we trust the proprietors of the course will be better provided.

ANN'S SOCIETY. The anniversary festival of this most admirable and benevolent institution was celebrated yesterday evening, at the London Tavern, when upwards of 150 gentlemen, triends and patrons of the charity, sat down to a sump tuous dinner. Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., occupied th© chair, and J. W. Freshfield, E.g., the vice-chair. The Noble Chairman was supported by Sir W. Brooke Brydges, and the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Powys. The Rev. Dr. Vaughan, the Rev. Mr. Puvah, and Mr. H. Pownall, were amurgst the company present. The Royal Asylum of St. Ann's Society is one of the most ancient of the metropolitan charities. and includes .emong its patrons her Majesty the Queen, the Queen. Dowager, and the Prince of Wales. It has been in ex istence for a period of 140 years, having been founded in 1709. As is well known, its objects are the mainte nance, clothing, and education of the children, whether , rphans or nut, of persons of every nation, once in pro sperity; and like all the munificent charitable foundations f this great metropolis, the words " supported by vo luntary contribution" are written over its threshold— words which hive ever e.icited the wonder ar.d admira tion of every distinguished foreigner who has sojourned in this city, and import a fact, the like of which is to be tumid in no metropolis on the Continent. The cloth having been removed, the CHAIRMAN gave in succession the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, .hieh were enthusiastically responded to by the as bly. _ _ In the courso of the evening the children, who are oeing now educated, maintained, and clothed by the charity, to the number of 77 girls and 150 boys, were ,ntroduced to the company, and their peculiar!) clean and ~e althy at.pearance, their modest, reap+ cttul, and gentle .t.portmeat, anti their blooming and intelligent faces, (amed the theme of general admiration. Master aolphe, a boy of 12 years of age, and one of the re ,tpients of the charity, recited, with great beauty and ~ropriety of enunciation, a poetical address, composed or the occasion, laudatory of the charity, complimen ary to the Noble Chairman and ex pre.sive of gratitude to tie butut , rous frith& and patrons of the institution. Its Itvrr?was frequently interrupted by the plaudits of the company. _ hiamart then rose, and raid that he always felt embarrassed in addressing a company so largo and influenciat as that which was now hetore hem, and that embarrassment was considerably increased by the peculiar position in which he found himself at that mo .rent, because he was quite sure that he should never how filmsett so worthy ot their attention as the young .ientletnan to whose performance they had just beet, i,tening—(Cheers)—und whose intonation and manner t delivery showed so perfictly that he felt the sentiments .is address conveyed.—(Cheers.) In point Of fact, tr.at 3 oung gentleman had " taken the bread out ot , iis muffle—bad lett him nothing to say, had left uitn bankrupt Indeed.—(Laughter and cheers) He re juiced at it, however, tor it was a convincing proof ot the utility of the institution whose claims they had met to support. The Noble Lord then proceeded to bear nis personal testimony to the benefits which the R tyal Asylum had conferred. It had already had its Cen tenary, for since its foundation more than a hundred sears had elapsed, and he believed that the jubilee year tf the construction ot the noble building on Streattam• till was nut far distant.—(Cheers.) There were many charitable institutions in this metropolis of the highest value, but this was the only one which, upon a large scale, protected the families of those who from affluent circumstances had fallen into the depths of misfortune —which did not wait until children had become orphans in order to assist them, but regarded sudden distress and destitution as a sufficient claim upon its benevo lence.—(Cheers.) If ever there were times which reminded every person how trail and fleeting were the gifts of fortune, they were the times in which we were now living. He had not forgotten the com mercial crisis of the autumn of 1847 and the spring of 1848, and those days must excite the most painful feel k 1 3 ,8 in the breasts of every ono who then beard him. 411, who amongst them could say how soon his own turn might come?—(Hear, hear.) But, as if this were not enough, in 1848 the vicissitudes of fortune rose still nigher, and they saw kings and princes wandering desti tute, and laying claim to the hospitality of foreign countries.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted, .therefore, it any illustrations were required to show the value of a society tike this that the scenes of 1847 and 1848 would not be forgotten—(Cheers)—and that those who might think themselves secure would, if no higher motive influenced hem, see by this how necessary it was to make provision for others if it might not be even for themselves, when the hour of adversity should come.—(Cheers.) Having made s feeling appeal to the company to increase their exer tions in support of the institution, his Lordship concluded by proposing " Prosperity to the Royal Asylum of St. Ann's Society."—(Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The Rev. Mr. YOVAH, whose church the children at tend, took occasion. before they retired from the room, in a beautiful and feeling addre,s, to remind them of the privilege they enjoyed in being the recipients, of the hasty, and of tue number of. friends and benefactors ;hey mighvreekon, as indicated by the large assembly uy whom they were surrounded. The children then retired, as did also the Chairman ,hortly afterwards, to attend her Majesty's state hall, when Sir H. Brooke Brydges cffciated as chairman during the remainder of the evening. The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN . proposed the health of the 'secretary, Mr. Leeks, to whose indefatigable exertion, un behalt of the charity he bore cheerful testimony. Mr. LEEKS, the secretary, in responding to the toast, said no more pecuniary consideration ,alone could induce him to give his services to the institution; lie found the greatest stimulus to his exertions in the sympathy which he telt with the great objects of the ,narity.—(Chwers.)_. The sub.crip4uns during the evening amounted to nearly 1,400/. 'I he musical arrangements of the evening were under the able direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Miss Betts, Francis, Mr. Howe, and Mr. H. Phillips. The reserved seats behind the Chair and the gallery over the end of the room were filled with elegantly dressed ladieS. The company separated at 11 o'clock. Mr. Harker officiated a. tottaf roaster. THE TUBULAR BRIDGE OVER. THE. MENAI STRAITS.—It is expected by the engineer, Mr. Stephen son, that the important work of raising this gigantic structure to its destined site will be accomplished on the 10,th, or one of the three following days in this month. It will readily be believed that from the magnitude and novelty of the undertaking the greatest excitement prevails, not only amongst professional men, but amongst all who feel any interest in engineering triumphs, with reference to this final proceeding. Should the enormous .tructure answer the purpose for which it was designed (and of its doing so not a doubt exists in the minds of those best capable of judging), it will unquestionably take its stand amongst the wonders of the world. The completion of this work will per►, ct the line between Chester and Holyhead, and effect some considerable , aving in time now occupied in the journey between London and Dublin, which will be considerably reduced, so' that when trains are crossing the Menai Straits the .uperiority of this route to the s►ster kingdom over that via Liverpool can scarcely be disputed. • COAL RETURNS.—We are requested to state that the quantity et coals brought into the port of London in 1848 was 3,418,340 tons, and not 3,479,189 tons. Mr. Arthur P. Bagley, late United States' Minister at the Court of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, has arrived in Lor don by the steam-ship Nep tune, from St. P etersburgh, on his Way to Liverpool, en route to the KfMted States of America., ITHE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The following correspondence alluded to on Tuesday night in the House of Commons by Lord Palmerston and Sir Robert Inglis has taken place between Lady Franklin and the President of the United States :-- " B- dford-place, London. April 4. "Sir,—l address myself to you, as ihe head of a great nation, whose power to help me I cannot doubt, and in whose dispo•ition to do so I have a confidence which I trust you will not deem presumption. " The name of my husband, Sir John Franklin, is probably nut unknown to you. It is intimately con nected with the northern part of that continent of which the American Republic forms so vast and so conspicuous a portion. When I visited the United States, three years ago, amongst the many proofs I received of respect and courtesy there was none which touched, and even sur- prised me, more than the appreciation everywhere ex pressed to me of his former services in geographical dis covery, and the interest felt in the enterprise in which he was then known to be engaged. " The expedition fitted out by our Government for the discovery of the north-west passage (that question which for 300 years has engaged the interest and baffled the energies of the man of science and the navigator) sailed under my husband's command in May. 1845. The two ships, Erebus and Terror, contained 138 men (officers and crews), and were victualled for three years. They were not expected home, unless success bad early re warded their efforts, or some casualty hastened their return, before the close of the year 1847, nor were any tidings expected from them in the interval. But whet, the autumn of 1847 arrived without any intelligence of the ships, the attention of her Majesty's Government wits directed to the necessity of switching for, and con veying relief to them, in case of their being imprisoned in 'the ice, or wrecked, and in want of provisions anti means of transport. " For this purpose an expedition in three divisions was fitted out in the early pert of last year, .directed to three different quarters simultaneously, viz., Ist, to that. by which in case of success the ships would come out of' the Polar Sea to the westward (or Behring's straits); 2,11 y, to 'that by which they entered on their course of discovery, on the eastern side (ur Davie's Straits); and, 3dly, to an intervening, uarter, comprising a portion of the Arctic shore, approachable by land from the Hudson's Bay Company's settlements, on which it was supposed the crews, if obliged to abandon their ships, might be found. This last division of the expe dition was placed under the command of my husband's faithful friend, the companion of his former travels, Sir John Richardson, who landed at New York in April of last year; and hastened to join his men and-bouts, which were already in advance towards the Arctic shore. Or this portion, of the expedition I may briefly say that the absence of any intelligence from Sir John Richardson at this season pr, ves that he has been unsuccessful in the object of his search. " The expedition intended for Behring's Straits has hitherto been a complete failure. It consisted of a single ship, the Plover, which, owing to ber setting off too late, and fo her bud sailing properties, did not even approach her destination last year. " The remaining and most important portion of the searching expedition consists of two ships Under the command of Sir James Ross, which sailed last May for Davis's Straits, but did not succeed, owing to the state of the ice, in getting into Lancaster Sound until the season for operations had nearly closed. These ships are now wintering in the ice, and a store-ship is about to be dis patched hence with provisions and fuel, to enable. them to stay out another year. But one of these vessels is in a great degree withdrawn from active search by the ne cessity of watching at the entrance of Lancaster Sound for the arrival of intelligence and instructions from Eng land .by the whalers. "I have entered into these details with the view of proving that, though the British Government has not forgotted the duty it owes to the brave men whom it has sent on a perilous service, and has spent a very large sum in providing the means for their rescue, yet that, owing to 'various causes, the means actually in operation fur this pur pose are quite inadequate to meet the extreme exigence of the case. For it must be remembered that the miss ing ships were victualled for three years only, and that nearly four years have now elapsed, so that the survivors of so many winters in the ice must be at the last extre mity, and also it must be borne in mind that the channels by which the ships may have attempted to force a passage to the westward, or which they may have been compelled by adverse circumstances to take, are very numerous and complicated, and that one or two ships cannot possibly in the course of the next short summer explore them all. "The Board of Admiralty, under the conviction of this fact, has been induced to offer a reward of 20,000/. sterling to any ship or ships of any country, or to any exploring party whatever, which shall render efficient assistance to the missing ships or their crews, or any portion of them. This announce merit, which, even it the sum had been doubled with wha p ie u r b e l , i w c h a t p e p o r h ob ad ation comes, bltrebled, w however,euldtoohlaavtee for met our un tortunately Baited before it was issued , and which, even if the news should overtake them at their fishing grounds, m are totaliy unfitted for any prolonged adveu , ru, having only a few months' provisions on board, and no addi iolial clothing. " To the American whalers, both in the Atlantic and Pacific, I lock with more hopes as competitors for the prize, being well scare of their numbers and strength, their thorough equipment, and the bold spirit of adven ture which animates their crews. But I venture to look eve n bt yond these. I am not without hope that you will deem it not unwoi thy of a great and kindred nation to . take up the cause of humanity which - I plead, in a national spirit, and thus generously make it your own. " I moat here, in gratitude, adduce the example of the Imperial Russian tiovernrnent, which (as I urn led to hope by his Excellency the Russian Ambassador in Lon don, who forwarded a memorial on the subject) will send out exploring parties this summer from the Asiatic coast of Behring's Straits northward in search of the lost vessels. It would be a noble spectacle to the world if three greet nations, possessed of the wid st empires on the tace of the globe, were thus to unite their efforts in the truly Christian work of saving their perishing fellow men from destruction. It is not for me to suggest the mode in which such benevolent fforts might best be made. I will only say, hoWever, that if the conceptions of my own mind, to which I do not venture to give utterance, were realised, and that in the noble competition which followed American seamen had the good fortune to wrest from us the glory (as might be the case) of sol v i ng t h e pro bl e m of the unfound passage, or the still greater g l ory o f sav ing our adventurous navigators from a lingering tate, which the mind sickens to dwell on, though I should in either case regret that it was not my own brave countrymen in those seas whose devotion was thus rewarded, yet should I re joice that it was to America we owed our restored hap piness, and should be for ever bound to her by ties of affectionate gratitude. "I am not without some misgivings while I thus ad dress you. The intense anxieties of a wife and of a daughter may have led me to press too earnestly on your notice the trial under which we are suffering () et not we only, but hundreds of others), and to presume too much on the sympathy which we are assured is felt beyond the limits of our own land. Yet, if you deem this to be the case, you will still find, I am sure, even in that personal intensity of feeling, an excuse for the fear lessness with which I have thrown myself on your generosity, and will pardon the homage I thus pay to your own high character and to that of the people over whom you have the distinction to preside. "I have the honour to be , Sir, " With great respect, y our obedient servant, "JANE FRANKLIN." "Department of State, Washington, April 25. " Madam—Your letter to the President of the United States, dated April 4, 1849, has been received by him, and he has directed me to make, you the following reply:— " The appeal 'made haveade in the letter with wbich you honouree him is such as wo u ld s t rong ly enlist the sym pathy of the rulers and the people of any portion of the civilised world. _ " To the citizens of the United States, who share so . largely in the emotions which agitate the public mind of your own eouutry, the name of Sir John. Franklin has been endeared by his heroic virtues and the suff , rinas and •sacrifices which he has encountered for the benefit of mankind. • • • " The appal of his wife* and' daughter; in their dis tress,' has been borne across the waters, asking the as sistance of a kindred peop;e to save the bray. men who embarked in his unfortunate expedition, and the people of the United.,S'tate.,, .who have watched with the deepest interest chat hazardous enterprise, wilt now respond to that apps al by the expression of their united wishes, that every pr , per effort may be made by this Government fur the rescue of your husband and his companions. "To accomplish what you have in view, the attention of American navigators, and especially of our whalers, will be immediately invoked. All the information in the possession of this Government to enable them to 'aid in discovering thelnissing ships, relieiing their crews, and restoring them to their families, shall be spread tar and wide_ among our peOple; and all that the Executive Government of the United .states, in the exercise of its constituti.nal powers, can effect to meet this requisition on American enterprise, skill, and bravery, will be promptly undertaken. The hearts of the American people will be deeply touched by your eloquent, address to their chief magistrate, and they will join %ith you in an earnest prayer to Him whose spirit is on the waters, that your husband and ,his companions may yet be re stored to their country and their friends. "I have the honour to be, " Your Ladyship's friend and obedient servant, "JOHN M. CLAYTON.", FOREIGN Conti.—By a recently approved regula- Von of the customs authorities, the difficulty which existed with respect to trifling surplus quantities in a cargo of corn delivered from the vessel direct on impel.. Wien over and above the quantity on which the duty has been paid by prime or first entry has been removed, each merchant or importing firm having the privilege of making a deposit of DX with the receiver of fines to the Custom-house, which entitles them to -the delivery in each instance of such excessive quantity, amounting to 20 quarters, the duty thereon being subsequently paid, and the deposit remaining for a continuance of the same privilege so long as it may be desired by the parties. This arrangement has been very generally adopted by the importers - of corn, and has been found a great con venience and advantage in preventing the detention of grain in the open craft for the payment of duty on the small surplus quantities, when it is out of the importer's power to know exactly the quantity of corn comprised in the vessel's cargo until the same has been metered and the proper account taken for the revenue and trade pur poses. The same arrangement ,is to be observed at the several ports throughout the kingdom, the deposit_being made with the local authorities of the revenue.

Owing to the indis• po,ition of Madame Marlow last night, the opera of Das Nachtlager in Granada was substituted for that of Martha. GERMAN LUTHERAN CHURCH.—Yesterday a con cert was given at the Hanover:-square Rooms, in aid of the Nude for building a German Lutheran . church at It was noticeable that the German arti,ts came forward in great force on the occasion, to aid im an ob ject which chiefly interests theircountrymen here.

Herr Anschutz, the conductor at Drury laae, also lent his services ; and Benedict was one of the general conductors of the concert. With 'such a phalanx of talent, the concert could not bat go off sa- ' ti4actorily. The selection was good, chiefly comprising favourite pieces, often given during the season._ Pischek gained immense applause and an.encore in his delightful " Duetches Lied: Treffz, as usual, charmed her audience with the archness of her " Volslied," and the other voea• lists , acquitted themselves .arimirably. To particularise all the successful pieces would be to repeat the programme. The room was well filled. LONDON WEDNESDAY CONCERTS.— The twenty.- sixth of these concerts took:place yesterday evening. It was the last but one of the season. The programme presented no particular feature of novelty, h but was T marked by t a ste in the . selection . chief , v , v ocalis ts were Treffz (who gained a r a p turous encore i n ?min thro' the Rye"), Mies Poole, the Misses Williams, Pischek, T.

Palmer (piano forte), Mr. Richardson (flute), and Viotti Collins (violin). The opera selected for the first part was the Don Giovannit, some of the finest morceaux from which were admirably given. In other respects the concert went off well. At the next concert (on the 27th) Men. d e is l oba's music to Antigone will be given. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. LA PRIMA BALLERINA. . The plot of this ballet divertissentent, which 'will be produced this - evening. is taken from an incident in the career of a great danseuse. Whilst on her way to fulfil an - engagement at Naples, with her maitre de ballet and her cameriera, her carriage was waylaid by bandatti.. But even banditti, in Italy, are alive to art; and she achieved her liberation by executing some of the choicest steps of her repertoire, as, Ariosto did, under the same circumstances, by reciting. some passages - of his " Orlando." The scene of the ballet is placed in the mountainous borders of the Roman States, . The brigands are re joicing with their families after • a successful foray. Whilst some are feasting, some drinking; and others gambling, the younger members of the baud are dancing to the sound of mandoline and castagnettes. They are interrupted iu their revels by Astolpho, the lieutenant of the band, oho dispatches all those who are un araad to a fiera or festival in the neighbourhood, which afford, au' opportunity of plunder. The men disguise themselves as lame mendicants; others as pifferari; whilst the women and children carry baskets containing fl.wers or fruits. Hardly are they departed, when the whistle of one of the sentinels on the adjacent heights warns his comrades that travellers are approach ing. In the distance a travelling carriage is careering along rapidly on the road to Naples. Immediately the robbers cut down the trees, throw them across the road the carriage must pass, and then conceal themselves. The carriage approaches; you hear the cracking of the postilion's whip, and the sound of the bells on the mules; the mules stumble over the barricade, and the carriage, loaded with a pale of light boxes, that betray the pre sence of a female traveller, is suddenly stopped. In au instant the bandits seize the postilion, the cameriera, and trio courier, awl bind them to the trees, This is so quickly done that the .exquisiteiSignor Passolo, the re nowned maitre de ballet of st.' Carlo, has not perceived the cause of the sudden stoppage ; he desc en d s f rom the carriage, and at th e si g h t of th bandit's pistols, he .execates steps and gesticulations of mute terror more exprt ssive than he has ever taught in has highest . flights of the mimic art, and forgets his fair travelling compa bionin the carriage. But at this moment arrives Rinaldo, Captain of the banditti, dressed' in the highest style of modern fashion, who, with the utmost courtesy, hands down from her carriage the yOting. lady — within. This lady is Mdlle. —, who implores the Captain to permit her to continue her route; but the Captain answers that he is toe happy in the possession of so charming a guest to part with her so soon: In the meantime the robbers have draggcd ;forward the lady's boxes, and the peculiar ttna splendid dresses within, as well as the direction withi,te, reveals to Rinaldo. that .the fair pro prietor is la prima ballerina," no less a dancer than the celebrated Melte. —, whose renown has spread to every part of the civilized world. He contemplates the lady with the admiration and respect of a dilettante, and inquires who is her finical companion, now grimac ing in utter-mostaerror. Mdlle. -- aa — explains that he is Signor Pa-solo, the most sublime of maitre: de bal lets, and the composer of all the arts and pus to whose performance she owes.her triumphs. Mdlle. ----- now once more implores her captor to allow her to depart he holds council with his lieutenant and the chief bandits, and, with their concurrence, consents to her request — but on condition she will execute some of her most rtinarkable pas before she departs. The great daocer highly flattered at this novel triumph of her talent, cheerfully consents to thiti proposal. The boxes are scrupulously returned to their places, and, whilst she re tires to her carriage to put on her dancing costume, the trembling Signor Passolo is compelled to execute a new pas with the cameriera, of:which the eccentric inspiration is dictated to him by the muzzles of the robbers' pistols. Mdlle. now re-appears in the brightest of her cos tumes, the robbers form a circle, and amidst their enthu siastic admiration, she performs some of the most cele brated steps of her repertoire. At the conclusion of her dancing the robbers themselves are the captives of her talent; at her command they clear the road for her to proceed. But at this moment the signal of alarm is given; the sound of trumpets in the distance announces the arrival of the dragoons in pursuit of the banditti. The robbers disappear; their wives rush in in alarm, but as the troopers enter, they begin dancing, in order to conceal what has occurred, and delay their march. Mdlle. —, flattered by the triumph she has achieved over her fierce admirers, silences Passolo, and assures the officer that she has met with no obstruction. Hardly has he conducted her back to her carriage than a proces sion of black penitents is seen crossing the mountain path, the soldiers lay down their carbines, and with all present, go on their knees. The penitents drop their cloaks and masks, reveal their bandit costume, raise their guns, and the curtain descends. 14, 1849. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Yesterday a grand morning concert was given at this theatre, which was fully and fashionably attended. The programme was arranged to display the Lull vocal and instrumental talent of the establishment; and the result was, a musical treat of a very superior order. The chief vocalists were Grisi, Persiarti, Miss C. Hayes, Corbari, Aftgri, Dorus Gras, De Meric, and Madame Macfarren; Mario, Tamburini, Marini, Massol, Tagliafico, Polonini, and Lavia; with the powerful chorus of the theatre. Ronconi, Salvi, and Sims Reeves had also been an nounced to sing, but. did not appear; and this necessi tated some changes in the programme; Miss Catherine Ha) es singing " Kathleen Mavourneen" (with exquisite taste and feeling), in addition to the music allotted to her in the programme ; Tamburiui, in like manner, giving hi, atd ( n place of Koncoui) in Figaro's song, " Largo al factotum" from the Barbie , e; and Mario singing the senn.tele from Don Pasquale, in which he was encored. These amply repaid t he audience for the omissions necessitated by the absence of Rouconi, Salvi, and the. English tenor. The c3r.cert was rich alike in variety end excellence, many of the pieces aelected not being from the operas usually played here. Grisi and Persfuni were encored in the " Sufi' Aria" and in the "Oh Guardate" from La Provo. Gri,i and .I:tnburTni product d the usual effect on the risible muscles of the audience. Ot the rest it is needless to say more than that there was not a weak piece in the programme, and that the distinguished artists to whom they were in trusted sustained their reputation. The chorusscs were " The Dervi,hes' Chorm., ' from Beethoven's Ruins of Athens; the s' Alla Trinita" of Palestrina; and the mag nificent prayer from Masaniello. The instrumental por tion of the programme cgimprised the overtures to " Der Freischutz" and " Guillaume Tell;" and last, though not least in excellence, Mendelsshou's grand concerto in G minor, in which Halle displayed to the utmost of his power over the pianoforte. The whole' went off admirably. ---- --- HAYMARKET THEATRE. Last evening, in the performance of Wild Oats, Miss P. Horton, as she is still called by dramatic courtesy, adventured upon a new walk (for her) in the histrionic art, by undertuking, for the first time, the impersona tion of the Lady Amaranth. She looked " the pretty ' Quakeress" to admiration, and went through the whole Kith a prim gracefulness that would have charmed poor O'Keefe himself. In other respects the comedy was ad mirably " cast," James Wallack being the very embodi ment of animation, fun, and gooduature as Rover. There was the usual unction in the Ephraim Smooth of Keeley, and a delightful smartness and tartness in his wife's impersonation of Jane. Webster as Sim was in imitable—especially in the famous scene of the inven tory, and the other in which he goes into ecstacies about " Allicock," but says " faither musn't be licked, though!" Tilbury as Sir George Thunder, James Bland as John Dory, and H. Vandenhoff as Harry Thunder, were all respectable. Before Wild Oats, yea. performed Murton's three-act comedy of 7 own and Coubtry, which, it is scarcely necessary to say, was ad mirably "cast," when we enumerate—James Wallack as Reuben GlenrOy, Buckstune as Trot; Keeley as Hawbuck, A. Wigaa as Plastic, Webster as Cosey, Miss Reynolds as Rontlie Somers, Mrs. Stanley as Mrs. Mo reen, Miss P. Horton as the Hon. Mrs. Glenroy, and Mrs. Glover as Mr. Trot. Keeley's acting as Hawbuck was a delicious piece of comic stupidity. STRAIND THEATRE. A. new drama, an adaptation from the French stage of a piece written by M. St. George, entitled honesty the best Policy, was produced at this little snuggery a . f ew evenings ago with complete success. ,Th(!) great mer it . of the,psece is in the drawang forth the admirable persona tion of the old goatherd by Mr. Farren, whose represen tation of the part was a perfect piece of acting, and was equal to any of the most successful parts sustained by this talented actor. The leading female part, excellently sustained by Mrs. Stirling, is Theresa, a reputed widow, a copy of the creation of Kotzebue, presented to the public as Mrs. Hailer, in the Stranger. She is not, in 'deed, depicted with the amiable and interesting traits through which Mrs. Haller is portrayed, but the purposes of the drama would not be injured by some other expe 'dient than that of assigning the heroine of the piece to such a mother. The other parts were very well sustained. HER. MAJESTY'S THEATRE. -- This evening, the inimitable Lablache takeb his benefit here, when the ma nagement produces Cimarosa's I 1 Matrimonio . Segreto. Judging from th e e ff ec t a t re h earsa l, - a success ma ybe ' expected similar to that which has attended the repro duction of "Don Giovanni and La Gazza Ladra. The cast is a very strong one, combining the ehier:l vocal' strength of the company: With Aiboni as F_ d e rarodi as Carolina, Giuliani as Eliserra r , o - nCatoz:l a arias Paolina, and, above all, Lablache as G impart which l ic a h s ju.tice will be done to the charming c ef in which his rich hurhour leaves him unalipprodac,cchuedvr,efuolfl ' an artist, we heartily wish Lablache , Cimarosa. Considering his worth es :b m ust a i n per as of w w e there can be little doubt, for he is, and desertedly, a universal favourite, and to his own attraction and to that of the opera, is added a ballet founded upon a striking epb , ode in the career of the great Taelioni. WAR-OFFICE RETIREMENTS.—The chief examiner, Mr. Marshall, is about to retire upon his full salary of 1,2001. per annum and a senior clerk at 9001. per annum. Mr. Fox Mettle, the Secretary at War, and a member of the Select Committee of army expenditure, will have now an opportunity of carrying out his zeal for retrench ment in his own department, by causing the abolition of these appointments. The duties of chief examiner could easily be performed by the deputy secretary at war or his first clerk, both of whom receive high pay. These retrenchments are the more desireable and should be pressed by the Treasury when we see a sum of 53,6691. 10s. being estimated for the current 3 ear for the War Office, exclusive of the amount of 17,255/. 6s. for se perannuation and retired allowances.—Morning Paper. Some very exaggerated reports were in circulation yesterday respecting the alleged absence of a gentleman connected with one of the first banking-houses in the city of London. W e have reason to know that what ever the motives for bis absence may be, they are en tirely of a private nature, and hap no relation whatever to the business or the funds of thefirin.—Chronkk, LITERATURE. !EXPERIENCES OF A GAOL CHAPLAIN. New Edition. 1 Vol. Bentley, New Burlington street. This new edition of this most popular, most inte resting, and most instructive work, forms the 115th number of the Standard NoVels, publishin g by Mr. Bentley, and is - got up with all attention to typo graphical beauty and correctness, which is so dis tinguishing a charact e ri s ti c o f his series. The author has added to this standard edition a new pre ' face, containing his views on the causes and pre vention of crime. "Legislative enactments," he says, " will never crush it. Nor will it be banished from among us by the ' solitary system' or the •treadmill.' Education, CHEAP FOOD, and employment, may do much to arrest its progress." After paying a well merited tribute of respect to those "leaders o f the forlorn hope in the moral world," the promoters of the ragged schools and of the Scripture Readers' Society, he thus proCeeds to point out the various incentives to crime "1. A dense population is favourable to crime. " Great cities, it has been well remarked, invite all the scum and oftscourings of society to - nestle within them. They find hiding-places there, and there they find their pre3. Add to this, that in great cities are to be found wealth and luxury. These hold out invi tations to crime, more or less seductive, and afford at the same time greater opportunities for its concealment. " 2. Crime in England is fed by the constant acces sions to our population olthe wretched outcasts from Ire land. The records of crime kept at Liverpool are con clusive on this point. But not at Liverpool only is the propensity in the Irish character to crime borne out by facts and figures. A barrister connected with the Northern Circuit ascertained that out of one hundred and twenty-siz prisoners at one assizes in York, twenty seven were Irish, or twenty-five per cent.; and that out of twenty-nine si,rious offences, nineteen, or sixty-six per cent., were committed by Irishmen!' "3. DEAR FOOD is a powerful incentive to crime. •' This conclusion can be established by statistical returns. Contrast years, of scarcity with years of plenty:; ---1805 was a dear year. Wheat was within threepence of ninety shillings per quarter: crime rose. The following yerr, 1806, was a cheap s car; wheat was seventy nine shillings per quarter: crime fell. The next year, 1807, was a cheap year; wheat was seventy-nine shillings and fourpence a quarter: crime fell. Take another three years, 1816, 1817, and 1818. The first and last were cheap years: crime fell. The other, 1817, was a dear year; wheat wits ninety-six shillings and eleven pence a quarter: crime rose. It, then, you desire to check the progression of crime, give the artisan CHEAP FOOD. "4. Another incentive to crime will be found in that prolific source of every evil, social, national. and domestic —the existing CAME'LAWS. Tender ground this to ven ture en/ LoMi is the clamour instantly raised, if the policy of totally repealing these odious enactments be even hinted at; but ask any clergyman who lives in a parish where game is strictly preserved, what are the peculiar features of his parish ? Ask him what it its aspect in *a religious, industrious, and moral point of view ? Ask him how the church—or any place of wor ship in it—is attended; and also how the public-house is frequented ? Ask him how the marriage tie is re spected in his parish—if chastity is even known there ? Ask him what the records of the neighbouring petty sessions have to say touching CRIME in that parish? And heed well his answer. "5. Another incentive to crime is want of employment. Here the farmer is grossly culpable. He treats his labourer as a slave. Consideration for him there is none. If corn be at a famine price, very, very little or no advance is made on the labourer's wages. If corn decline in value, that is instantly made a pretext for summarily reducing the number of labourers on a farm stead, and consigning those who are thus turned adrift to starvation, or to the tender mercies of an union work house. What follows ? An incendiary fire in the most unprotected rickyard. VIRTUALLY who lighted it? "6. Finally. Crime is fostered by ignorance. —But do not the employers as well as the employed require instruction ? Dues not the occupier as well as the la bourer need the good offices of the schoolmaster?" With some of the causes the Legislature cannot deal, they must be left to the care of the promoters of ragged schools, and the friends of education, but with other causes the Legislature must and can deal. Be it remembered that whoever endeavours to make food dear is the friend, the patron, the promoter, the cause of crime; l e t thi s b e cast i n the teeth of the Protectionist landlords whenever they come whining for protection, and let them be t o ld pl a i n l y t h at even the benefit of a territorial aristocracy may be pur chased too dearly, and that it is so purchased when purchased at the cost of increase of crime. Again with regard to the game-laws. It is the moral duty of every legislator to do. all in his power to remove those laws from the statute-book forthwith. Is it to be borne that our people are to be demora lised, our gaols filled, and the commission of every species of crime encouraged in order that our landed squirearchy may be permitted to indulge in a barbarous sport, which, if practised by costermongers and unprivileged animals, would infallibly bring them acquainted with the treadmill—e. g. , a man the oth e r d a y was com mitted for a m o nth from one of the metropolitan police-offices for setting a dug to hunt a cat. \Vhat is the difference so far as cruelty is concerned between hunting a cat and hunting a hire ? The game laws, therefore, must be re pealed, even although the squire archy should turn styky and emigrate. LECTURES on the CAUSES and TREAT MENT of ULCERS of the LOWER EX TREMITY, delivered at the London Hospital during the Summer of 1848. By George Critehett, Esq., FR.C.S. Churchill, Princes-street. It is refreshing in these days of book-making to meet with a work emanating from a man evidently full of his subject, and Set compressed within such limits that bot h the medical profession and the public can rapidly acquaint themselves with the views and opinions contained within its pages. Here is no lengthened and tedious detail of cases, no empirical vaunting of one remedy to the exclusion of all others, but a clear and condensed digest of the various asyects under which this disease presents itself, of the causes to which it owes both its origin and its continuance, and of the principle upon which alone a scientific method of treatment can be founded. The book is nicely got up, and reflects credit both upon author and publisher. PEDESTRIANISM.—PATN E AND Fox.—These men met en Monday, according to appointment, at Harlington Corner, to decide their match of two miles, for '25 sove reigns aside. There was a tidy muster of sp , ctators present, and the betting opened at 5 to 4 on Fox, but before the men came to the mark it had gone to 2 to I, with takers. The race requires but little comment; suf fice it to say, that Fox gave inAfter he had tried!the first mile, dead beat, and he was compelled to be taken to a public-house close by, where it was tound that he had been druvged to an alarming extent. The person who administered the drug is a well-known runner at Bir mingham. The time for the first mile was nearly six minutes. THE ACCIDENT RELIEF SOCIETT.—The anniver sary dinner of this society, tor giving food, &c., to families when plunged into distress by accident, was held last evening, at the Albion Tavern, Ahiersgate street. The duties of the chair were moat efficiently discharged by W. Evans, Esq., M.P. for North Derby shire. After the usual toasts had been proposed, in terms which reflected not less credit upon the good sense than the loyalty of the chairman, the toast of the "Army and Navy" was given, accompanied with an ex pression of hope that, as well on their own account as that of their country, their services would henceforward be bat little required. After a liberal subscription had been announced by Mr. R. Croxton, the secretary, in cluding donations of 51. from Lord Skelmersdale, 51. from Lord Amherst, 11/. from Miss Wedgwood, 10/. from G. B. Hart. Esq., 101. from Charles Hoare, Esq., 101. from Lordßletchley, and 251. from the Chairman. —Mr. George Thompson, M.P., proposed the health of the worthy Chairman, and paid a high tribute to his unostentatious and benevolent character. He said he did not know how he could bear better evidence to the usetulness of the society than by re cording a circumstance that had come under his own knowledge during the past year.

NLW CHURCHES IN LAMHETLL—It is intended to erect a new church in the borough of Lambeth, which will be dedicated to St. Andrew. An ecclesiasticAl dis trict has been assigned to it, and • the Rev. Agmond C. Carr, M.A., will be the officiating minister. Another new church, dedicated to St. Thomas, will also be e, ected in the Borough, of which the Rev. J. W. Weeks, NLA., formerly principal of the Church Missionary Soci-ty College at Sierra Leone, will be the incumbent. The patronage of both the new churches will be vested in the Crown and the Bishop of Winchester alternately, BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY.--The annual examination of the Girls Mod.-1 School took place yesterday, the Rev. Lord Wriothesley Russell in the chair. The room was crowded, and the examina tion appeared to give the highest satisfaction to:the com pany present. The acquirements of the children in his tory, geography, and especially in the Scriptures, were highly creditable to them. The singing in parts was ex cellent, and the specimens of needlework numerous and beautiful. At th e c l ose of the proceedings, Sir Walter Stirling, Bart., moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was secon d e d b y P rofessor Pill ans , o f Edi n b urgh, who expr esse d v er y. s t rong ly the gratification h e , i n common with others, had experienced.
