TO THE PUBLIC.—An Appeal is re poctrully, but earnestly, made to the Benevolent Public on behalf of the Widows'and Children of the late JOSEPH WILLIAMS and ALEX ANDER SHARPE, who, having been convicted on a charge of SEDITION, were cut off by the Cholera in the prison wherein they Were confined. Their untimely and lamentable deaths were mainly brougkt about by the cruel fact, that although the pestilence was raging in all its fury at the time, and the publications of the Board of Health em• phatically recommended a generous diet as one of the necessary pre cautions, those unfortunate men were placed'upon the fare of bread and water as a punishment for their refusal to perform that portion of labour which was allotted to them. To this refusal they were instigated by no mAlve of factious op position to the discipline of the gaol where they were incarcerat , d ; but simply by the deeply-rooted conviction that a broad line of demarcation was to be drawn between political prisoners un tainted by dishonouring crime, and the usual class of felons and misdemeanants. Without, therefore, using harsh language, it may be fairly stated that these men became the victims of a disregard to these sanitary precautions which were so imperatively necessary at the time to avert the influence of the terrible pestilence which was raging ; and under these circumstances, an appeal is confidently made to the benevolent of all grades of opinion, on behalf of the des titute wives and orphans, whom the deceased prisoners have left be hind there. A Committee has been formed for the purpose of receiving contri butions, and disposing of the amount in a manner calculated to en sure a permanent advantage to the widows and orphans whose de plorable condition is thus introduced to the public notice. Donations will be received at " Reynolds's Miscellany" Office, '7, "Wellington -street North, Strand ; at the National Land Office, 144, High Holborn; and at the " Northern Star" 0111.:e, 16, Great Wind mill-street, Haymarket. Contributions from the country may be forwarded by Post-office Order, or in postage stamps, and the General Committee will meet for business purposes at A nderfon's Hotel, Fleet-street, on the first Monday in every month, at Eight o'clock in the evening.

OPENING of the NEW COAL EXCIIANGE. HER MAJESTY'S VLSI C. No doubt the reader would esteem it strange, If Moses' Muse forgot the Coal Exchange ; And, th , refore, as the Queen's to come, I'll greet her, By writing on the coals a little metre. Mrs' burning loyalty I cannot smother, Nor yet exchange this subject for another. The Queen, no doubt, will find her subjects give her A very warm reception on the river. Success, I say, to that commercial scheme Whose memorable opening forms my theme ; - Per, oh 1 each portion of the pile is rife, With fond ideas of home and homely life. And now, shall I be quitting the sublime, By introducing Moses in my rhyme . ? No : Moses, who have long enjoyed control, Are nobs in trade—l don't mean knobs of coal. Moses and Son's attire is so well made That it has long enured a flare-up trade. Moses and Son, whose words ne'er end in smoke, Have given monopoly a timely poke ; May 1 not add, too. that the Coal Exchange not by any means the sole Exchange ? Moses and Son at their Depot arrange, To exchange your goods without a word's exchange ; And hence it is that such a stir is made By Messrs. Moses in their flaming trade. LIST Me PitICEA. READY MADE.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, :he Company being prohibited, by the 84th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, - from die • puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PRE MIU3I SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are emoted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it cau be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

L. 11YAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, although well known to the public, and enjoying an unprecedented share of their confidence, do not think it would be judicious to depart from their usual system, i opening a new Establishment, of pointing out and explaining their capabilities and mode of conducting their business, and likewise the advantages -to be derived by those *ho honoar them with their commands. L. lIYANI and Co., Bq, Oxford-street, have half a century's experience in business, with unlimited command of capital, and a range of the most extensive establishments in all the principal towns of Great Britain in successful operation, thus presenting advantages of an extraordinary character such as never before were centered in one firm. L. HYAM and Co., 85, Oxford-street, save all intermediate profits ; that which they do not manufacture themselves they obtain direct from the first makers. By purchasing in this efficient manner, they effect a saving " in intermediates alone," of at least 20 per cent. .. L. lIYAM and Co., SG, Oxford-street, have procured for the bespoke department an extensive and choice stock of Parisian and West of England cloths, of every shade, colour, and quality. TLe new materials for trowserings comprise plain and fancy doeskins, Luekskins; and kerseymeres, suitable either for dress, riding, or walking. They are superb in texture, beautiful In colour, and of the choicest design. L. lIYAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, have selected from the best and most celebrated makers, French, Genoa, and ltritieh waistcoat tugs, which are remarkably rich, brilliantly varied, of the most unique and novel styles ; in fact, the Pantectinetheca will comprise within itself materials for maki ng gentlemen's attire of every d scri p irt.the first style of art, and unparalleled in the annals of fashion and economy. L. II 1721111 and Co.. SG, Oxford-street, in orde to render the Cutting Department as effective as p:ssible, have engaged cutters of the greatest talents, experience, and acknocvleged abilities ; and so satis fied are they of their qualifications and certainty of pleasing, that they give a guarantee to that effect, and, in order to test it, their patrons have at all times the option of returning any garment which may in any manner be disapproved of, though previously seen, approved, chosen, hnd paid for. L. HYAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, have elaborately fitted up the departments of clothing for immediate wear with every requisite, both useful and ornamental. Hero may be selected, from a stock exceeding 20,0001. in value, every description of apparel that talent and ingenuity can devise or invent, consisting of dress and surtout coats, waistcoats, trowsers, juvenile and servants' clothing, Sec., at prices that cannot fail to give the most perfect sa tisfaction. L.

FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS D.Y. TIM ES.—The political fortunes of General Nar vaez and of his Administration have scarcely owed more to his own firmness and resolution than to the weakness and ineptitude of his adversaries; and if anything was still wanting to complete his ascendancy over the councils of the Queen of Spain, that want his been supplied by the late ridiculous and abortive attempt to destroy it. Hitherto the Duke of Valencia has more frequently been compelled to display his remarkable energy of character by the attacks of the Liberal party, the intrigues of foreign Liberal agents, or the commotions of the populace, than in the defence of the Constituiion. But on the present occasion the attack came from the opposite quarter. It was not—as some of our contemporaries imagined in their inflexible and indiscriminating antipathy to the only able and successful ruler whom modern Spain has produc6d—it was not by an intrigue of Christina, or with any intention of favouring the return to office of a more popular Go vernment, th a t thi s t rans i en t an d w hi ms i ca l s t ro k e of policy was attempted. On the contrary, the personages of the plot were in every particular worthy to have figured in the ancient comedies and stratagems of the Court of Spain. A crafty monk and an ecstatic nun were the principal agents in the transaction ; a Prince who bears the title of King Consort, and exercised the functions of a Master of the Household, though sunk in the torpid superstition and premature decrepitude of his race, was their tool ; and their object seems to have been the formation of a Government, priest ridden in the Cabinet and unrepresented in the Chambers, without the slightest hold on any political party, en the army, or on any man of note or ability, as if it were to show the world how con temptible and impossible a thing the absolutism of such a Court as that of Spain has now become. We are left to conjecture what means were em ployed to obtain the assent of Queen Isabella to so extravagant a proposal, especially as it was presented to he'r by one for whose judgment and resolution she can have 'no respect, and who became her laughing stock when he became her husband. Probably the decision was suddenly taken in one of those freaks of prerogative or in that state of reckless indifference to which the Queen of Sepia has sometimes given way. The Queen-Mother was evidently unacquainted with the scheme, for she once remonstrated with her daughter, and doubtless perceived the vast accession of influence and consideration that such a blunder would give to a Minister already sufficiently powerful to be at times the object of her own ,jealousy and dread. The Ministers themselves appear to have had wind of the project for their destruction but a short time before the ordinances of dismissal were signed, in spite of the household spies which infest every room in the Palace. It is sc ircely credible that the luckless nominees of the King, who held the offices of State during this day of dupes, were pre pared for the task which devolved upon them. At any rate they made no active use of their authority, and abstained from taking any of those vigorous measures which would alone have given even a chance of success to an Absolutist conspiracy. No appeal 'Was made to the army, no arrests took place amongst those who would be most able and most resolved to oppose, in the name of the Constitution, so sudden a coup (Mat. Narvaez himself seems to have felt on his return to office that such opponents as these were too paltry to be severely dealt with ; or possibly the exalted position of the chief conspirator may have saved the lives of all the rest. The King was at once removed from the head of the household, and deprived of the only share of authority over the royal property he had ever enjoyed. Friar Fulgencio will probably expiate his offence by severer exercises of piety in an Andalusian monastery, and the nun Patrocinia, whose impostures have long been a scandal to the Church, may " go in peace" to one of the more retired convents of the Queen's dominions. But General Balboa escapes with a visit to an African garrison, and his colleagues may mourn in more than their former obscurity the momentary aberration of the prerogative which converted them into statesmen. The only real gainer in the transaction is General Narvaez himself, who has shown by his conduct on this occasion that he is as little disposed to sacrifice the reviving Government of Spain to a cabal of fanatical Absolutists as to surrender it to the populace in the streets of Madrid, or to quail before the Opposition in the Legislature. It is precisely because the existing institutions of Spain are upheld by a firm grasp and a competent power that we venture to hope they will not again degenerate into anarchy, or sink under the foolish and perfidious hostility of either branch of the _royal family. Hereafter it may be for the welfare of Spain to have Administrations imbued with a more liberal spirit, and Ministers of a more temperate and forbearing character. If the Constitu tion last, the gradual progress of events may bring about these salutary changes, but at present the es sential point is that the institutions which may one day bear these fruits should strike root into the soil, and that the authority of the laws should be equally maintained against the crafty emissaries who reach the royal closet, and against those emissaries, no less crafty, who foment the discontent of the populace. It is the privilege of constitutional government, that although a change of Ministers may be effected by an indiscreet impulse of the Crown, as we witnessed even in this country in 1834, their tenure of office depends on the more serious and deliberate convic tions of the nation. It is evident from all the accounts which have reached us that the fall of the Narvaez Cabinet was received with equal dismay and surprise in Madrid, and the prompt return to office of that Government was hailed with satisfaction even by its habitual opponents. For, however, they may desire to over throw the Government by the effects of fair debate and by the will of the Chambers, they are well aware that if a powerful minister could at once be paralyzed and expelled by occult influence of the most sinister and despotic tendency, representative government would cease to exist altogether. In this instance, therefore, the triumph of Narvaez has been that of the Constitution itself, and we trust the lesson will not be lost upon the Court. His own conduct, when he became aware of the intentions of the royal per son egos, appears to have been dignifiedand judicious; and it is, perhaps, fortunate that he showed no dis position to resort to other measures, which so sudden and violent a provocation might have suggested to his resentment. \Ve have long been of opinion that the Duke of Valencia is upon the whole the Minister best fitted at this time in Spain to support the throne, in ?pits of various occurrences so derogatory to its proper dignity—to preserve the public peace at a period of frequent revolution—to promote the real welfare of the nation—and even to lay the basis of more sincere and complete constitutional government. If at mo !tents of danger and comparative weakness he has shown himself harsh, intemperate, and overbearing, it must be conceded that when he has found himself in the full possession of undisputed power he has shown no mean submission to the arbitrary tendencies of the Court, and in the important affairs of Rome and of the tariff he has leant rather to the side of a liberal policy. In short, he has held his own inde pendent course against the intrigues of the French dynasty and the intrigues of the Spanish confessional; he has raised the tone and attitude of Spain in her relations with foreign Powers; under his administra tion the army, the fleet, and the finances of the king dom have revived; he has crowned his policy by a general and unrestricted amnesty ; and if his more rigorous measures have sometimes justified the invec tive of his opponents, it must he admitted from the , evidence of facts that the results of his policy have surpassed the expectations of his adherents, and have almost obliterated those traces of anarchy and civil war which 40 years of incessant contests had inflicted on Spain. AD VERTISER.—Thanks to Lord Roden and his fi iends, the flames of religious discord have ex tend( d once more from one end of Ireland to the other. At the extreme and central points of Ireland, that deadly enmity which once disgraced both reli gion and humanity, and opposed a hopeless barrier to all political improvements, again rears its hideous deformity at the magic bidding of men who have stultified their understandings and betrayed their trust. Under the Marquis of Downshire, in_the North, and two Protestant Associations in Dublin and the extreme South, the old reign of bigotry has been re-proclaimed. In the dismissal of Lord Roden the Protestants of Cork see nothing but " conciliation and support of Papists and rebels, the discountenancing of Protestants, and the propa gation and spread of ' error and false doctrine. " If the occasion were not so serious, we could smile at the childish alarm which these words betray. But they contain a graver import than this. They re veal the feeling of the dominant minority of Ireland, foitered by past mis-government, and which seems to have equally perverted their good sense and cor rupted theirmorality. For let any dispassionate man recal for a moment the circumstances which gave rise to Lord Roden'e dismissal, and consequently to this address of Cork Association, and what inference must he draw from those facts, coupled with the lan guage above quoted ? Why, he must conclude that in the mind of an Irish Protestant the act of dismissing from the bench a nobleman and his associates, who had encouraged, and afterwards protected the perpetrators of the most savage murders, amounts to " conciliation and. support of Papists and TO THE LAXLY& This lady had the following letter Inserted in the " Times" news_ caper on Aug. 7, 1e46. Reader, remember, this letter was put int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Wcekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this elver tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstome, of the llerbary, High nte for the elicacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than ever was hef, re the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Ile. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund %floe, bat as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfnme iti far beyond any to her taste. Sbe will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact:.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, clew drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may nse this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplleatione. If used on infants' lievta, it has such a peculiar cooling Influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the Island of Islay and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which 34,030 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex pended in drainage ant. improvements. The rents are periodically and legitimately_iuereased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that such a property waist, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected fur about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, a.,d contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 12,000 policiss, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business or a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his Investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the genera I life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years his nominee survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and, in the ev , nt of his nominee being the last survivor, will become ti e absente owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. I'. Neison, Esq., the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire ap probation. The estate is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland. The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven directors in Scotland, communicating with a board of correspondence in London. Two general meetings shall be I'6d in Scotland in the months of June and December. The preliminary deposit to be ss. per share (being the maximum allowed under the Registration Act), and a call of 11. per share shall be made on cnnplete registration. The remainder to be called up by such instalments as may be found necessary to meet the payment of the purchase money.

LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS 1L,119 Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk liar York, " To Mr. Thomas Front, " 14th June, 1847. " STl4—flaying suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, [ was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, 3 ou are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failingeilbct;Ol this valuable medicine, which affords to time afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and Invariably prevent the diseaie attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part. Sold by Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London; and by his appoint ment by all resnctable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

REPORT OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS ON CHOLERA. A long report of the cholera committee, appointed some time since by the Royal College of Physicians, has been agreed to, and will be circulated amongst the members of the college. The following are the prin cipal results arrived at, and the conclusion which seems to have justified them : " 1. Bodies presenting the characteristic forms of the so.called cholera fungi are not to be detected in the air, and as far as our experiments have gone, not in the drinking water of infected places. " 2. It is established that, under the term ' annular bodies' and ' cholera cells, or fungi,' there have been confounded many objects of various and totally dis tinct natures. " 3. A large number of these have been traced to substances taken as food or medicine. "4. The origin of others is still doubtful, but these are clearly not fungi. " 5. All the more remarkable forms are to be detected in the intestinal evacuations of persons la bouring under diseases totally different in their nature from cholera. " Lastly. We draw from these premises the general conclusion that the bodies found and described by Messrs. Brittan and S wayne are not the cause of cholera, and have no exclusive connexion with that disease; or in other worth, that the whole theory of the disease which has recently been propounded is erroneouo, as far as it is based on the existence of the bodies in question.

Now, if we compare the Protestant rebels of this year under Lord Roden and the Messrs. Beers, with the Catholic r e bels of last year under Mitchel, Meagher, and O'Brien, there is one remark able distinction between their cases, whichconstitutes a vast disparity between their crimes. No matter how mistaken, no matter how criminally rash were the rebels of the Confederation, they appeared as the vi et armis advocates of a starving people ; of men who had none of the comforts of life ; and who, until late years, had but few of the privileges of society. Oppression with them was an hereditary grievance. It was an estate—and their only one— handed down from father to son. Few nations have endured what had been inflicted on the Catholic portion of Ireland ; and if a set of young men, stung with the recollection of an embittering part, and seeing its fruits in the squalor and death so thickly strewn around them, were hurried into acts of violence, all we can say is, that both here as well as in Ireland, there was a feeling to this extent in their favour, that the commutation of the capital sentence was hailed with universal satisfaction. But when we turn to the rebels of 1849, we see a very different set of advocates, and a very different race of clients. Whatever was worth having in Ireland was in the possession of these men. The miserable minority of the country, they had the lion's share of its wealth ; they received it from former Legislatures ; they held it by a title of pre scription, even admitting the fraud of the original grant; and no man was seeking to dispossess them of their gains, well-gotten or ill. Will any plain sensed Englishman tell us, what cause had these people to rebel? What incentive had they to rise in arms against their Catholic fellow countrymen, from whom they bad nothing to get but their blood ? To turn triumph into insult, and perpetuate the taunt, they assembled in arms, and, after the banquet in Tolly more Park, repaired to their after-feast of slaughter at Doily's Brae. It would be an insult to common sense to pretend that the criminality of the latter case does not greatly exceed that of ' the former. Bat so utterly deficient do the Irish Protestants appear to be in this commo dity, that what in England we have denounced,as a day of barbarous murders, they appear to regard as something very virtuous and admirable. They cha racterize Lord Clarendon's resolution to put down this butchery as an attempt to propagate "error and false doctrine ;" whence we may fairly conclude that the way to propagate sound doctrine i 3 to murder idiots and old women, and turn incendiary wherever a Catholic has a house or a hayetack. Now all this, upon which the disaffected Protestants of Ireland are "grown so great," will not in the end prove the most nourishing food for their party. While they believe that they are acting in a very heroical manner, the quiet people of this country are looking on with as much patience as men can command, who are called to witness the revels of fanaticism. They are measuring the rights and wrongs of that " Protestantism for which the belligerents are so fierce in professions of faith; and they begin to think that this fine word is a mere cloak for something else. We know that religion has always been one of the most successful disguises a bad or an ambitious man could assume. But if the Irish Protestants fancy that they can play over again a game of which every one here is heartily sick, they are mistaken. Nor let it be forgotten tbat these men have brought a bitter disappoint ' ment to hopes which had been ardently cherished in England. After bearing, as far as money could bear, the brunt of a famine of five years' duration— in which the Protestant north would have refused us the help of a sixpenny rate-in-aid—we had begun to look for better times; and augured from her Majesty's visit, that they were at hand. But Lord Roden and his friends have put an end to that, unless indeed they aro to sink into the contempt they merit, and Ireland be destined to survive their "loyalty." But whatever is in store for us, in this respect, we repeat the fact, that from north to south the old demon of bigotry has proclaimed his empire, which we trust to the strength of Government, and the good sense of this country, will not be of long duration. THE ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITY. LOUR I' OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a special court was held, as the summons stated, to receive a report on a communication re ceived by the Lord Mayor from Lord John Russell, on the 27th inst., and on the course to be adopted for opening the new Coal Exchange, in the event of her Majesty's absence; and further to empower the com mittee, in conjunction with the Recorder and the proper officers, to make such alterations in the address of this Court to her Majesty as may be rendered ne cessary by the altered circumstances of presenting the sa me. The court was fully attended by the members of both courts. The proceedings of the court were from etiquette private. We understand that the court proceeded—after having heard the report read, stating that the Queen's indisposition would, to the great regret of the com mittee, probably prevent her Majesty from honouring the City with her presence at the opening of the Coal Exchange, and that Prince Albert and the Princess Royal and the Prince of Wales would represent her Majesty upon the occasion—to draw up an address adapted to the change likely to take place. An address was then, we were informed, after some conversation amongst the members, agreed to, expres sive of the strong feelings they entertained upon the subject of her Majesty's indisposition, which they re joiced to hear was nut at all of a serious nature, and containing the substance of the address intended to be presented to her Majesty. The court then adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TAT PERSALL'S -YESTERDAY. Notwithstanding a considerable portion of the after noon was taken up in settling accounts for the last day's racing at Newmarket, several horses were backed for the Derby, the chief outlay being on Bolingbroke, at 10 and 11 to 1; and on Deicoon, at 25, 22 to 1. A very large amount was invested on the latter; it is rumoured that he has been sold, but to whom did not transpire. The Italian, Sweetkeart, and Voltigeur, were also in good force. Steeplechase betting, if we may judge from the commencement, is not likely to be so general as it was last season. Very few books have been opened as yet.

We live among a generation o f readers and thinkers. The literary man is now a power. lie is no longer the hanger-on of a great man, nor kicks his heels, like Dr. Johnson, in the lobby of his " patron." He writes for the people, in a time when the nation has grown 'reading. His sympathies are becoming every day more popular; and literature has come to be regarded as the great instrument of progress. The writers of books, and the editors of newspapers, aro the great movers of the mind of the age; they are the corals a hie!' build up from the deep great continents of know ledge and civilization. And here let ua not forget to say a word for ourselves; for we too have our influence, humble though it be. To pour into the people's minds, week after week, instruction which is elevating, and thoughts which are ennobling; to stimulate the tens of thousands of readers who have already generously patroniz , d our enterprise, to efforts at self-improvement, self.advancement, and self-culture; to give a healthy direction to their activities, and supply them with a rational recreation in their leisure hours; this we feel to be no mean task, no unworthy labour; and we shall live and work in the hope that, through our efforts, the people's tastes shall be still further improved and the world be made still bolter.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

The Rosamond was to return forth— • -- with to the fleet in Salamis Bay. The Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, remained at Malta, •prevented from sailing to join the fleet by contrary wind. The value of her great capabilities for stowage have now been fully tested. She has an immense quantity of store's and provisions for :ill the ships of the fhet. The Ardent steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Nowell, arrived at Malta from Trieste on the 21st, and wzs to be ready for sea by the 23d, having been detained by Sir W.

PRACTICE OF THE BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—On Saturday considerable disap pointment was experienced in this court by a large num ber of professional gentlemen and others, in consequence of the nonattendance of Mr. Commissioner Daniell. At one o'clock it wes announced by Mr. Ryland, on the part of the effiei-.1 assignees, that they had received a communication from the Learned Commissioner that he was unwell, and unable to attend the court that day. In order, however, if possible, to prevent any disappoint ment, they had forwarded a communication by telegraph to Mr. Commissioner Balguy, at Derby, apprising him of the circumstance, and requesting him to come to Birmingham. If the learned gentleman was at home, ho would, in all probability, receive it in time to arrive in Birmingham at four o'clock. Mr. E. Wright said they could proceed with the business if one of the regis trars would take the bench. The officer of the court replied that the services of neither of these gentlemen could be had ; Mr. Wilson was in Loudon, and the Hen. Mr. Cut zan at Derby. The attorneys and their clients then left the court, and returned at four o'clock, when it was stated that an answer had been received from 7,1 r. Commissioner Balguy, but of so ambiguous a character as to render it doubtful whether he could come to Birmingham that day. The answer received was " too late," but whether it meant for the mid-day train or for that day, they could not tell. At five o'clock the court was lighted up, and ex pectations were entertained that the commissioner might possibly arrive by the six o'clock train, but he did not, and after keeping the court open till past seven, it was closed. We believe such an occurrence almost unpre cedented, and it is said that it will constitute a ground of complaint in higher quarters against some partie s . There were several cases entert..d by adjournment for hearing, and what the legal consequences to partiei may be is very doubtful. Honnonis VOCAL CONCERTS.—We felt no small degree of gratification in listening to a concert given at thefabove halt (the fourth of a series) on Wedne=day last, and were also much pleased to find an spin:elation on the part of the public; the audience being bo h nu merous and respectable. The programme opened wish Webbe's glee, " The Mighty Conqueror," wa oh was rapidly: succeeded by songs, duets, madrtgal , , &o.; amongst which we m a y enumerate the madrigal, " What ho!" Beale; " M t rr il y wa k e mus i c ' s measure'," Barnett; and "Down in it flowery yaw," Festa; -' The Eagli:h• man," well sung by Mr. C. Field; " Robert, t qui j'aime," from Robot the Devil, rendered in extremely artistic style by Mrs. Temple; as was also the beautiful ballad, from Mar " Scenes that are brightest," the encore in the letter being of the most worm an cor dial description. This lady also sung in two duets, " Dunuue io son," with Mr. Frost; and Barnett's "Sol fa.," with Mr. Temple, the latter receiving a deserved enrorc. We may alto mention the glees, " The gipsey's tent," T. Cook; and " Here in cool grot," Lord Mor nington; both of which were given with great precision and effect. HISTORICAL COINCIDENCES.—The Observateur Beige shows that since the year 1789 all the revolutions in France have been effected under Pores bearing the name of Pius. Louis XVI. was dethroned and decapi tated under Pius VI , the Directory was overthrown under Pius VI.; Napoleon fell under Pius VII.; Charles X. was dethroned and driven into hopeless exile under Pius VIII.; and, finally, Louis Philippe I. was deposed and banished under Pius IX. Some may suppose that the world will come to an end under Pius X . - 11.1ajor-General Wemyss, C. 8., inspected the r( se:ve companies of the 3Sth Regiment; under Captain Adam son, at Castlebar on the 20th instant, and expressed his high approbation of the good order iu which he found them.
