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 act, of having offered a gross insult to her Majesty for 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 act, but when that is done to the person of the Sovereign it becomes an aggravated offence. It is ( hireling 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 flown, and give assurance of her Majesty's personal I sfet3'. That offence is one of a serious nature. Your Motive for it is difficult to discover, and the only conclu sion we can come to with any degree of confidence is, that you acted from an unfortunate desire for not°• riety, in becoming an object of public attention by 'laying 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 always free from any idea of personal danger , but t h e desir e which her Majesty peculiarly indulges of gratifying '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 free from the apprehension of insult and the public not 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 commived 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 care to be followed by severe degradation and suffering. In order, therefore, that you may be removed from the cene of your actions, and that others may know that t hey will not long remain to enjoy the notoriety which Court have so unlawfully sought, the sentence of th e uourt upon you for this off.nce is, that you be trays- 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. TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF A STEAM-TUG ON THE RIVER.—(THIS DAY.) This morning, shortly before 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. Xdward 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 towing various descriptions of craft up and dow n the river. This m orning she reached Billitipgat.- for the purpose of making fast to a fi,hing smack, which Was. about to be towed out of the pool, and just as the tog•was tacking off the Upper-stairs of the market a dreadful 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 terrific report was heard. It was then ascertained that some serious accident had happened on board the St. Michael. Boats put off from every Possible place, but the vessel had taken re. 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 some c onsiderable difficulty they were brought on deck, very seriously scalded and burned on various parts of their Persons. The captain wished to save some valuable pro perty stowed away in the cabin, but they had only time to get into the small boat before the vessel sunk.• The w hale of the crew were saved, but the bottom of the tug t se em* was forced out by the violence of the explosion, Itbieh, from what could be gleaned, is attributed to some defect in the boiler. It was nearly high water at the time of the accident, fru no portion of the vessel is to be seen. She went °v4n about mid stream, and the navigation of the pool " considerably interrupted. The captains of the nu !serous steam-boats and others navigating below bridge are 'compelled to be extremely careful to avoid ac cidents. 4:lar ge num b er o f men with chain lighters are now engaged in making preparations for her removal f ro m he r,,Present position, and it is fully expected that s he will brought in shore at low water.

Because the Bill, while professing. to amend the laws for the encouragement of British shipping and na ligation, virtually repeals those laws under the protec tion of which the mercantile marine of this country hss attained its present eminence. "2. Because such repeal was not called for by any _ st ate necessity, nor by public opinion, which, on the 7untrary, has manifested itself universally and unequi vocally as hostile to the measure. 3 . Because any minor inconveniences to which Bri " commerce may be subjected by the operation of the relating laws might easily have been obviated by reedi t,. st icna and amendments not inconsistent with the main nance of the general principle. 4 . Becaus e th e Bill fails to secure to the shipping and t a ,: °t hmerce of this country in foreign port s advan air equivalent to those which it confers upon the :1 1 Ping of foreign countries. 5 . Because it surrenders gratuitously, and without bey possible equivalent, to all foreign countries the trade w een the Unit, d Kingdom and its widely spread colonies and dependencies, in which trade a very large proportion,r of our shipping and seamen is constantly and ° ,"labli employed. i n ' 6 . Because, by the concession of the indirect carry pog trade between the United Kingdom and all foreign buildingra manning, naton which may be able to rival us in en t , and sailing ships, will be enabled to r into successful competition with us throughout the W°ll d, and th us l a y th e foundation of a maritime supe llorit wh ich Y,lvhich it is essential to this country to r e t ain, and to it was the especial object of the navigation-laws prevent any foreign powers from acquiring. • " 7 . Bec ause th e B i ll directly encourages the compe trtie n of foreign labour, and tends to diminish the de ": 1 : 11 4 for British seamen, British shipwrights, me chanics, and artisans, unduly to lower the amount of their wages, and greatly to discourage the employment of British industry. !° 8. Because the permission to register, as British, snips built in foreign ports, will inevitably lead to a great tritusfer of capital to those foreign ports, and to the in fliction of serious injury upon the shipbuilding establish- Moats of this country, and the various branches of in dustry connected therewith, by which, in time of pease, employment is given to large numbers of our fellow auijects, i ec ts, and the assistance of which in time of war, has been found indispensable to the msintenauce of the Strength and efficiency of the royal navy. " 9. Because the Bill, by exp"sing British shipowners to ,unlimited competition with those of foreign countries, while it leaves them subject to restrictions from which t4..ir rivals are exempt, holds out strong inducements to their to sail under a foreign flag, with foreign built ships and foreign seamen, to the manifest injury of the best Interest of the country. " 10. Because the royal navy is mainly dependent for its efficien c y upon the commerci marine, and the classes of • the , community connected therewith ; and this Bill , t s "Y • oiscouraging the employm ent of Br sh ips, and seamen, tends directly to theti'h shipbuilders, reduciion of the cc 'tarnercial marine, and there b y to the dimthutionofrtehst.t naval strength which is the main foundation of the ga inde. nes a of this country, and the surest detente ut its Pe ad ence SCIENTI FIC PIiESIsNTS Excellency the Count Sch immelpentnuck, tt:e Netherlands Minister at this Court, has received from the Roy al Society at Amster dam a - quantity of books, being the r, ports of that society, for the purpose or presentation to various literary scientific institutions iu this country. THE ETON FEsTIYAL.—The anniversary festival of the noblemen and gentlemen educated at Eton College, Was held last night at Willis's ROOlll5, King.street, St. James' s . 'Th e Earl of Ellenborough filled the chair, and Was supported right and left by the Provost of Eton and the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey, head master of the college. Among the other gues, s present were the Earl of Fal mouth, the Earl Nelson, Viscount Feilding, the Vice- Chancellor of England, Colonel the Hun. J. Lindsay, Captain the Hon. W. Edwardes, R.N., Hon. and Rev. P. Savile, Hon. and Rev. A. Savile, the High Sheriff of Surrey (W. G. Farmer, Eiq.), Hon. Sydney Pierrepont, the ;Provost of King's College, Cambri.fge, the Chis holm, Hon. C. Pepys, Mr. Tier Seymer, M.P., and the following gentlemen connected with Eton College:— Rev. T. Carter, Rev. G. T. Dupuis, Rev. C. Abraham, Rev. C. Lutendon, and Mr. W. Pickering. The table presented a magnificent display, and immediately- before the presidential chair was placed an exquisitely chased model, in silver gilt, of Eton Cullegw chapel, the girt to the foundation of his late Nljesty King William IV. The festival went off with more than ordinary eclat, end 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 Etonians 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 aLuziversary. WAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—Your very excellent article in The Sun of last evening, on the present exertions and objects of the Peace 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 his victim with uplifted blade, as the time for considering vs,hether 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 governments with the pure and holy principles which Jesus gave for 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 "Man 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 unfruitful works of darkness. But not merely does the constitu tion of the church of God, the headship of Jesus, the equality of its members, 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 involve the necessity of war. In many cases they can Lot 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 hands from 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, thesg 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. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1849. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON R ACES. —WEDNESDAY. Although the sums off.-red for competition on Moul sey• 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 of " carrying on the war" has been objectionable in other respecis; this year, however, a more liberal feeling has been evinced by the lessees; a competent Clerk of the Course (Mr. Hibburd) 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 sides 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 of Drogheda, Earl of Chesterfield, Earl S rathmoie, Lord Dunkellin, Lord G. G. Lennox, Lord F. Fitzroy, Sir Minto Farquhar, Sir T. Burke, Sir J. Hawley, Sir D. Baird, Hon. Captain Rous, Hon. Major Pitt, Hon. Colonel Stanley, Hon. Major Boyle, Hon. C Forrester, Hon. H. Forrester, General Charittie, Colonel Peel, Colonel Richardson, Mr. Greville, Mr. Payne, Mr. Foljambe, Mr. Oabaldeston, Mr. Archdall, M.P. Mr. Magennis, Mr. Drinkald, Mr. O'Higgins, Mr. Rush, &c. The sport was excellent, and so much better was time kept than under the old regime, that although the first event did not come off until a tew minutes after two 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 ho expect. d to-day, we trust the proprietors of the course will be better provided.

ROYAL ASYLUM OF ST. 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, friends and patrons of the charity, sat down to a sump tuous dinner. Lord Robert Grosvenor, ALP., occupied the chair, and J. W. Freshfield, Eq., 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. Povah, and Mr. H. Pownall, were amongst the company present. The Royal Asylum of St. Ann's Society is one of the most ancient of the metropolitan charities. tied includes among 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 orphans or not, of persons of every nation, once in pro sprity ; and like all the munificent charitable foundations (if this great metropolis, the words " supported by vo luntary contribution" are written over its threshold— words which have ever edcited the wonder and admira tion of every distinguished foreigner who has sojourned in this city, and import a fact, the like of which is to be tourd in no metropolis on the Continent. The cloth having been removed, the CHAIRMAN gave in succession the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, .hich were enthusiastically responded to by the as- Aembly. In the course of the evening the children, who are being now educated, maintained, and clothed by the charity, to the number of 77 girls and 150 boys, were introduced to the company, and their peculiarly clean and neslthy appearance, their modest, reap. cttul. and gentle .ieportment, and their blooming and intelligent faces, ormf d the theme of general admiration. Master l{olphe, a boy of 12 years of age, arid one of the re iiptenis 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 expressive of gratitude to he numerous friends end patrons of the institution. Its 'diver) was frequently interrupted by the plaudits of the company. I.HAIRMAN then rose, and said that he always felt embarrassed in addressing a company so large and .0 influential us that which was now before him, and that embarrassment was considerably increased by the prculiar position in which he found himself at that mo inent, because he was quite sure that he should never tIOW 'HUILA:II so worihy of their attention as the young eutleman to whose performance they had just been I,tening—(Cheert)—and whose intonation and manner t delivery showed so perfretly that he telt the sentiments :as address couveyed.—(Clieers.) In point of fact, mat )oung gentleman had " taken the bread out of his mouth"—had left him nothing to say, had left him bankrupt indeed.—(Laughter and cheers) He re piced at it, however, for it was a convincing proof of be utility of the institution whose claims they had met to support. The Noble L rd then proceeded to bear his personal testimony to the benefits which the R yal Asylum had conferred. It had already had its Cen tenary, for since its foundation more than a hundred years had elapsed, and he believed that the jubilee year f the construction ot the noble building on Streatham bill was not 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 trim 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 ings in the breasts ot every one who then heard him. Well, 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 higher, and they saw kings and princes wandering desti tute, and laying claim to the hospitality of foreign countries.—(Hear, hear.) Ho trusted, therefore, if any illustrations were required to show the value of a society like this that the scenes of 1847 and 1848 would not be torgotten—(Cheers)—and that those who might think themselves secure would, if no higher motive influenced them, see by this how necessary it was to make provision tor others if it might not be even for themselves, when the hour of adversity should come.—(Cheers.) Having made a 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. rove'', whose church the children at- ;ebd, took occasion, before they retired from the room, in a beautiful and feeling address, to remind them of the privilege they enjoyed in being the recipients of the harity, and of tue number of friends and benefactors th e y might reckon, as indicated by the large assembly oy whom they were surrounded. The children then retired, as did also the Chairman hortly afterwards, to attend - her Majesty's state ball, when Sir 11. Brooke Br) dges efficiated as chairman during the remainder of the evening. The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN prupased the health of the Secretary, Mr. Leeks, to whose indefatigable exertions on 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; tie found the greatest stimulus to his exertions in the sympathy which he telt with the great objects of the otierity.—(Cht era.) The sub.criptions during the evening amounted to nearly 1,4001. The musical arrangements of the evening were under the able direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Miss Betts, Mr. Francis, Mr. H o w e , an d M r . 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. toastmaster. 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 bite will be accomplished on the 19,h, 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 structure 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 perfe ct the line between Chester and Holyhead, and effect some considerable saving in time now occupied in the journey between Lyndon and Dublin, which will be considerably reduced, so that when trains are crossing the Menai Straits the superiority of this route to the sister kingdom over that via Liverpool can scarcely be disputed. COAL RETURNS.—We are requested to state that the quantity of 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 London by the steam-ship Nep tune, roots to the United States of America. on his way to Liverpool, en from St. Yetersburgh, THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The following correspondence alluded to on Tuesday night in the House of Commons by Lord Palmerston and Sir Robert Inglis has take❑ place between Lady Franklin and the President of the United States :—_- " Bedford-place, London, April 4. "Sir,—l address myself to you, as the 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 vected 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 )ears 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 lgovernment 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 had 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 when the autumn of 1847 arrived without any intelligence of the ships, the attention of her Majesty's Government was directed to the necessity of searching for, and con veying relief to them, in case of their being imprisoned in the ice, or wrecked, and in want of provisions ano means of transport. " For this purpose an expedition in three divisions was fitted out in the early part 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); 2dly, to that by which they entered on their course of discovery, on the eastern side (or Davis's Straits); and, 3dly, to an intervening quarter, comprising a portion of the Arctic shore, approachable by laud 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 uivision of the expe dition was placed under the command of my husband's faithful friend, the companion of his former travels, Sir John Eichardson, who lauded at New York in April ot last year, and hastened to join his men and boats, which were already in advance towards the Arctic shore. Ot this portion of the expedition I may bristly 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'a Straits has hitherto been a complete failure. It consisted of a single ship, the Plover, which, owing to her setting off too late, and to her bad 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 nf anycountry, which shall 0r 20,0 t 0 0 0/. a s n t y e r i e n x g pl t o o r ianngy party or ships whatever, render efficient assistance to the missing ships or their crews, or any portion of them. This announce ment, which, even it the sum had been doubled comes, however, wou too would have form h a i p e p h r h ob a a d tion, un fortunately sailed before it was issued, and which, even if the news should overtake them at their fishing grounds, are totally unfitted for any prolonged adven ture, having only a few months' provisions on board, and no additional clothing. " To the American whalers, both in the Atlantic and Pacific, I lock with more hopes as competitors for the prize, being well aware of their numbers and strength, their thorough equipment, and the bold spirit of adven ture which animates their crews. But I venture to look even beyond these. I um not without hope that you will deem it not unworthy of a great and kindred nation to take up the cause ot humanity which I plead, in a national spirit, and thus generously make it your own. " I must here, in gratitude, adduce the .xatuple of the Imperial Russian Government, which (as I am 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 great nations, possessed of the wide st empires on the face 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 solving the problem ot the unfound passage, or the still greater glory of saving our adventurous navigators from a lingering fate, 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 (yet 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, you r obedient servant, "JANE FRANKLIN." "Department of State, Washington, April 25. " Madam—Your letter to the President f the United States, dated April 4, 1849, has b e en received by him, and he has directed me to make you the following reply:— " The appeal made in the letter with which you have honouree him is such as would strongly 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 couutry, the name of Sir John Franklin has been endeared by his heroic virtues and the sufferings and sacrifices which he has encountered for the benefit of mankind. ..... embarkedsis as sistance o f in a kindredhis unfortunate e expedition, x s p a e v d e i t t i o h n e bravo and t " The appeal of his wife and daughter, in their dis tress, has been borne across th e w aters, asking the as hine people enwho of the United States, who have watched with the deepest interest that hazardous enterprise, will now respond to that apps al by the expression of their united wishes, that every p r per effort may be made by this Government for 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 ot this Government to enable them to aid in dtscovering the missing ships, relieving 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 ot its constitutional 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 with 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 a nd their friends. "I have the honour to be, "Your Ladyship's friend and obedient servant, " JOHN M. CLAYTON." ------- FOREIGN CORN.—BY a recently approved regula- Con of the customs authorities , the difficulty which existed with r es pect to trifling surplus quantities in a cargo of corn delivered from the vessel direct on impor• tation over and above the quantity on which the duty has been paid by prime or first entry has been removed, each merchant or i mport i ng firm having the privilege of making a deposit of 101. with the receiver of fines to the Custom-house, which ent i t l es the m t o t h e del i very in eachinstance of such excessive quantity, amounting to 20 quarters, the duty . ther eon b eing subsequently ',aid, 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 th e small surplus quantities, when it is out of the imp or t er ' 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 trad e pur poses. The same arrangementis to be observed at the several ports throughout the kingdom, th e d epos i t b e i ng i made with the local authorities of the revenue.

Owing to the indis po4tion 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 funds for building a German Lutheran church at Hull. It was noticeable that the German artists came forward in great force on the occasion, to aid in an ob ject which chiefly interests their countrymen here. The vocalists who gave their services were Madame Palm Spatzel, the prima donna of the German company at Drury-lane; Millie. Romani, of the same troupe; Mdlle. Nissen, Mdlle. Walter, Madame Marlow, and Mdlle. Jetty de Treffz; Pischek, Formes (the fine basso of the German troupe), Erl, Stigelli, Muller, Stahl, and Gold berg. Among the instrumentalists were Schuloff and Mdlle. Davanee (pianoforte), Joachim (violin), Cossmann and Lidel (violencello), and Denault (cornet a-piston). Krause and his sons gave their a id on t h e accor dion; Strauss lent his baud; and Herr Roder, the director of the German Opera, th e fi ne chorus of that estab lishment. Herr Anschutz, the conductor at Drury lane, 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 but go off sa- ' tisfactorily. 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 wish the archness of her " Volslied," and the other voca lists acquitted themselves admirably. 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, but was marked by taste in the selection. The chief vocalists were Trefiz (who gained a rapturous encore in " Comin' thro' the Rye"), Miss Poole, the Misses Williams, Pischek, T. Williams, Master Sloman, and Binge. Mr. Sims Reeves was anno unc e d, but di . driot appear. The chief instrumentalis ts were Mr. W. H. Palmer (piano forte), Mr. Richardson (flute), and Viotti Collins ( v i o lin). The opera selected for the first part was the D o n Giovanni, 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 delsohn's Punic to Antigone win be given. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. LA. PRIMA BALLERINA. The plot of this bullet divertissement, 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 cumeriera, her carriage was waylaid by banditti. 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 band are dancing to the sound of mandoline and castagnettes. They are interrupted in their revels by Astolpho, the lieutenant of the band, who dispatches all those who are un armed to a fiery or festival in the neighbourhood, which afft,rds an opportunity of plunder. The men disguise themselves as lame mendicants; others as pijferari; whilst the women and children carry baskets containing flowers 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 w;th a pile of light boxes, that betray the pre sence of ta female traveller, is suddenly stopped. In an instant the bandits seize the postilion, the cameriera, and the courier, aria bind them to the trees, This is so quickly done that the exquisite Signor Passolo, the re nowned maitre dc ballet of St. Carlo, has not perceived the cause of the sudden stoppage ; he descends from the carriage, and at the sight o f th bandit's pistols, he executes steps and gesticulations of mute terror more exprt saive than he has ever taught in his highest flights of the mimic art, and forgets his fair travelling compa nion in 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 young lady within. This lady is Mdlle. —, who implores the Captain to permit her to continue her route; but the Captain answers that he is too happy in the possession of so charming a guest to part with her so soon. In the meantime the robbers have dragged forward the lady's boxes, and the peculiar and splendid dresses within, as well as the direction without, reveals to Rinaldo that the fair pro prietor is "la prima ballerina," no less a dancer than the celebrated aidlle. —, 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-most terror. Mdlle. explains that he is Signor Passolo, the most sublime of maitres de bal lets, and the composer of all the parts and pas to whose performance she owes her triumphs. Mdlle. now once more implores her captor to allow her to depart ; be 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 remarkable pas before she departs. The great dancer highly flattered at this novel triumph of her talent, cheerfully consents to this 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. 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 full vocal and instrumental talent of the establishment; and the result was, a musical treat of a very superior order. The chief vocalists were Grisi, Persiatii, Miss C. Hayes, Corbari, Augri, Dorus Gras, De Merle, and Madame Macfarren ; Mario, Tamburini, Marini, Masse], 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 Hayes singing "Kathleen Mavuurueen" (with exquisite taste and feeling), i❑ addition to the music allotted to her in the programme ; Tambutini, in like manner, giving his ted (in place of Roecoui) in Ftgaro's song, " Largo al factotum" from the Barbie: e; and Marto singing the serensde from Don Pasquale, in which he was encored. These amply repaid the audience for the omissions necessitated by the absence of Konconi, Salvi, and the English tenor. The cJocert was rich alike in variety and excellent,., many of the pieces selected not being from the operas usually played here. Grisi and Perstani were encored in the " buil' Aria" and itt the "Oh Guardate" from La Prova. Grisi and Tamburini produced the usual effect on the risible muscles of the audience. 01 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 chorus=es were " The Dervishes' Chorus," from Beethoven's Ruins of Athens; the " Alla Triftita" of Palestrina; and the mag niticent prayer from Masaniello. The instrumental por tion of the programme comprised the overtures to " Der Freischutz" and " Guillaume Tell;" and last, though not least in excellence, Mendelsshou'a 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, a iventured upon a new walk (for her) in the histrionic art, by undertaktng, for the first time, the impersona tion of the Lady Amaranth. She looked " the pretty Quitkeress" to admiration, and went through the whole with a prim gracefuluess 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 Kt.eley, and a ddighttul 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 " Pillicock," 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, was performed Morton's three-act comedy of !own and Country, which, it is scarcely nece ss a r y to say, was ad mirably "cast," when we enumerate—James Wallack as Reuben Glenroy, Buckstone as Trot, Keeley as Hawbuck, A. Wigaa as Plastic, Webster as Cusey, Miss Reynolds as Rosalie Somers, Mrs. Stanley as Mrs. Mo -1 reen, Miss P. Horton as the Hon. Mrs. Glenroy, and Mrs. Glover as Mr. Trot. Keeley's acting as Hawbuck I was a delicious piece of comic stupidity. STRAND 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 few evenings ago with complete success. The great merit of the piece is in the drawing 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 THEAT RE . Thi s even i ng, th e inimitable Lablache takes his benefit here, when the ma nagement. produces Citnarosa's It Matrimonio Segreto. Judging from the effect at rehearsal, a success may be 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 chief vocal strength of the company. With Album as Fidalma, Parodi as Carolina, Giuliani as Elisetta, galzolart as iPd,which r a i c b h o vheu amour 1 all, Lablache leaves hi a ni s u G n r a r p o p n; n a le a d, p f a u r l t i justice eim a ro w s 1 . 1 be Considering done to his the w charming orth asa chef man, da'sceuwver as an artist, we heartily wish Lablache a bumper, of which i there can be little doubt, for he s,. and deservedly, a u niversal favourite, and to his own attraction and to that of the opera, is added a ballet founded upon a striking episode in the career of the great Taglioni.r W A R-OFFICE RETIREMENTS. — T he chief examiner, Mr. Mai shall, is about to repro upon his full salary of 1,2001. per annum and a senior clerk at 9004 per annum. Mr. Fox Motile, 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 wnt 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 o f 53,66 91 . 10s. being estimated for the current year for the War Office, exclusive of the amount of 17,255/. 6s. for su 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. We have reason to know that what ever the motives for his absence may be, they are en tirely of a private nature, and have no relation whatever to the businegs og the fade of the firal.—Chronick, 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, publishing by Mr. Bentley, and is got up with all attention to typo graphical beauty and correctness, which i s so dis tinguishing a characteristic of this 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, " H ill 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 of 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 . I. A dense population is favourable to crime. " ' Great cities,' it has been well remarked, invite all the scum and off scourings of society to nestle within them. They find hiding-places there, and there they find their prey.' 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 opportuniti es f or i t s concea l men t. " 2. Crime in England is fed by the constant acces sions to our population of the wretched outcasts from Ire land. The records of crime kept at Liverpool are con clusive o n this point. But not at Li verpool 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-six prisoners at one assizes in York, twenty seven were Irish, 'or twenty-five per cent.; and that out of twenty-nine serious offences, nineteen, or sixty-six per cent., were committed by Irishmen!: " 3. DEA.R 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. he following yerr, 1806, was a cheap year; 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 felt The other, 1817, was a dear year; wheat was ninety-six shillings and eleven-pence a quarter: crime rose. It; then, you desire to check the progression of crime, give the artizan CHEAP FOOD. 4. Another incentive to crime will be found in that prolific source of every evil, social, national, and domestic —the existing GAME- LAWS. Tender ground this to ven ture on! Loud is the clamour instantly raised, if the policy of totally repealing these odious enactments be eve!' 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 Qmployed require instruction ? Does 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; let this he cas t i n th e t eet h of the Protectionist landlords whenever they come whining for protection, and let them b e t o ld p l 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-bock 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 other day was com mitttd for a month from one of. the metropolitan police-offices for setting a dog to hunt a cat. W hat is the difference so tar as cruelty is concerned between hunting a cat and hunting a hare ? The gatne-l•iws, therefore, must be repealed, even although the squire archy should turn sulky and emigrate. LECTURES on the CAUSES and TREAT iIIENT of ULCERS of the LOWER EX TREIIII7'Y, delivered at the London Hospital during the Summer of 1848. By George Critchett, Esq., F.R.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 compresFed within such limits that both the medical protesion and the public can rapidly acquaint themselves with the views and opinions contained withiri 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 varicus aspects under which this dizease 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.—PAYNE AND Fox.—These men met an 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 spectators present, and the betting opened at 5 to 4 o❑ Fox, but before the men came to the mark it had gone to 2 to 1, with takers. The race requires but little comment; suf fice it to say, that Fox gave in,after he had tried(the first mile, dead beat, and he was compelled to be taken to a public-house close by, where it was found that he had been drugged 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 SOCIETY.—The anniver sary dinner of this society, for giving food, &c., to families when plunged into distress by accident, was held last evening, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate street. The duties of the chair were most efficiently discharged by W. Evans, Esq., M.P. for North Derby shire. After the usual toasts had been proposed, in terms which rt fleeted 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 but little required. After a liberal subscription had been announced by Mr. R. Croxton, the secretary, in cluding donations of 5/. from Lord Skelmersdale, 51. from Lord Amherst, 11/. from Miss Wedgwood, 101. from G. B. Hart, Esq., 101. from Charles Hoare, Esq., 101. from Lord Bletchley, 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 usefulness of the society than by re cording a circumstance that had come under his own knowledge during the past year. The wife of a person who had met with an accident, and was thrown into the hospital, was so overcome by the feeling of the helpless ness of the situation in which she and her large family was thereby placed, that iu a moment of despair she terminated her life by cutting her throat with a razor. The Chairman, in acknowledging the toast, i had exceeded by 300/ an past year said there were n the course o t, noteae each less y e t a h rr a4nod,o althoughoO or 50,0 t 0 41 0 e a t c u c n i d d s e n e t a f the society during the t h ose o f any preceding year, they were still lamentably inadequate th e m to meet The the meeting numerous was afterwardscalls thatwereaddressed made upon by the Rev.

NEW CHURCHES IN LANDETII--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 erected in the Borough, of which the Rev. J. W. Weeks, M.A., formerly principal of the Church Missionary Soci•43r College at Sierra Leone, will be the incumbent. Th e patronage of both the new churches will be vested in the Crown and the Bishop of Winchester alternat.ly. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY.--The annual examination of the Girls Modtl School took Once 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 needlework numerous and beautiful. At the cl ose o f t h e procee di ngs , Si r W a lt e r Siirling, Bart., moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, whichexwparsessseecd very stronglyondedbyProessor Pillow, of Edinburgh, who the gratification he, in ei .common with others, had experienced.
