THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 9, 1842. The House of Commons last night, though the guiding 'master was absent, presented a much more sober ap pearance than the night before. In truth, it was engaged with subjects somewhat of a melancholy nature, which probably came home to the pecuniary interests of some of the Members. The larger portion of the evening was employed in discussing the two important questions of the duty on cotton wool, and on sheep wool. On both, one after another, it was proposed by Dr. BOWRING to re duce the duty on cotton, as settled in the tariff, from 2s. 11d. per cwt. to Id. ; and by Mr. WooD, on wool, from :4d. or ld. per lb. for different sorts, to 18. per cwt. in making these motions both gentlemen, fol lowed by others, drew some lugubrious pictures of the prese nt state of our manufactures, and of the effects Of these duties. Their facts and their arguments were thrown away. Sir ROBERT PEEL was not present ; and, of course, his subordinates, the most active of whom was his man, GLADSTONE, could not make any altera tion in his scheme. In both cases the Committee de cided by considerable majorities, 53 in the first case and 57 in the second, to do as the absent Dictator bade them; and, in spite of the strong evidence that was laid before them, that they were inflicting irreparable mis chief on these two great branches of our manufacture they votei to continue the present duties on cotton wool: and sheep wool. On both questions some of the usual supporters of Ministers went against them. Mr. WILSON PATTEN spoken in favour k,f the reduced duty on cotton wool, and Mr. BECEETT strenuously advocated the reduction of the duty on sheep wool. Mr. C. WOOD proved by a series of facts and figure, that our woollen trade was go i n g to decay, and that we were cut out of foreign markets by the French and the Germans. Mr. BF.CKETT confirmed this, and emphatically stated that up to this t i me no improvement whatever had taken place in t h e trade of Leeds. He quoted a case in which an order for 10,0001. of goods, for, we believe the China market, had been taken from Leeds and exe cuted at Aix-la-Chapelle, which the abolition of the . . • duty would haveenabled the parties to execute at Leeds. Of that 10,0001., he said 2,500/. would have gone to pay wages. This is only a specimen of what takes place through every part of our manufactures. High duties and high prices prevent orders ; the mills aro stopped, and wages are lessened by several 100,0001. Here by a single example, Mr. BECKETT taught us the whole theory of the public distress. It all had no effect either on the absent or on the present Ministers. It was im possible, Mr. GLADSTONE said, that the Government could spare such an amount of revenue. To give up these ruinous imposts would compel a complete revision of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S financial scheme. So he demon strated that the scheme was a mischievous one ; and so he told the suffering people in very plain language, not very wisely we thought, that the Government and the wants of the Government were the causes why they can get no wages, and why they are suffering such deep dis tress. Such important questions ought not to have been incidentally discussed on a Wednesday night, in the absence of Sir ROBERT PEEL. It is not likely tl_ie decision of the Committee will be final ; and the Go vernment, we believe, will have to revise that part of tariff at no distant date. The division lists inform us that Messrs. BECKETT, BECKETT DENISON, HARDY, LASCELLES, and STEUART WORTLEY, being connected with Yorkshire, though To ries, voted against their party, and for the reduction of the duty on sheep wool. We regret to add, that their conduct was dictated by merely local, and, in legislators, very paltry motives, for every one of them voted to con tinue the high duties on cotton wool. They were wil ling to ruin the cotton trade, by continuing an injurious impost on it, -iv hich they haft shown was ruining the woollen trade. What can the public expect front such inconsistent, partial, and, we may almost say, personrl legislation ? The uproar which the contending theological factions have been for some time keeping up at Oxford, is stilled for the present. The Puseyites have gained a complete victory over the Hampdenites and the Heads of Houses. By a majority of 115, in a convocation of 553 members of the University, who had been collected from all quarters, it has Leen decided not to rescind the statute passed six years ago against Dr. HAMPDEN. Till another occasion fur a contest arises, the parties will be quiet. If the Puseyites suffered a temporary defeat by the rejection of their:' candidate fur the Professorship of Poetry, they have now taken an ample vengeance on their opponents. Then have gained strength by their former defeat, and, as the Bishop of .OXFORD in his Puseyite charge said, the authors of the " Tracts for the Times " have thriven by persecution. The Puseyites at present hold the power of the University in their hands. Now, we may look for vigils, and fast days, and all the other popish ceremonials which still form a part of the Common Prayer Book, though neither people nor priests thought of practising them till the Puscyite revival. We shall soon have them all enforced, if the people will submit to them. Perhaps—and we mention this that our readers may not lose all hope—as the Church in the south of the island approximates to Popery, the Kirk in the north may recede from it ; and that betwixt the two bodies of priests the public will by and by fall into the flowery and sweet garden of mental inde pendence. The contentions of the clerical bodies, north and south, must in the end have a wholesome influence on the public mind, COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR., WEDNESDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert alked in the Little Park and Slopes this morning, and in the efrernoon drove out in a pony carriage, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent and Count Mensdorf, to Virginia Waters, at tended by the Duchess of Buecleuch, the Countess of Dun more, and the Duke of Buccleueh, and the rest of the Royal suite on horseback.

GERMAN OPERA. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Herr Breiting, the new German tenor singer, made first appearance on this stage last evening, in Aleierbeer's Opera of Robert the Devil, Herr Breiting of course taking the part of Hobert. Herr Welting possesses a very powerful senor voice, almost approaching in quality to a barytone, scarcely so rich and mellow as Braham's, but of equal power. The quality of his voice and his style of sing.ng, reminded us strongly of Don zelli. His falsetto is of exquisite sweetness, and like all tenors who have a sweet falsetto, he is exceedingly ford of intro ducing falsetto notes, sometimes, as it struck us unnecessarily. He is an excellent musician, and has cultivated his voice to the utmost of its capabilities. Our readers may judge of the immense power and strength of his voice from the fact that throughout the opera, perhaps the most trying for the principal te.nor.that4ver was composed, Herr Breiting never Opeollagged.- His finale was given with all the power of voice and mellowness of tone of his opening scene, and throughout the opera he did full justice to every piece that was a signed him ; there was no saving up of power, no slovening over of one part in order to reserve strength for a particular scena. It nas throughout an equal and a powerful performance. He was loudly applauded, and in the celebrated dicing scene, at the conclusion of the first act, his solo was rapturously en cored. We hail the arrival of Herr Breiting as hay. in; put an end to the dynasty of feeble tenors which has hitherto held the sway at this theatre. In person Herr Breiting is hardly fitted for a hero, and his action is rather awkward, and occasionally outre. Those who re member what Braham was twenty years age, cannot but be struck with the resemblance, figure, and histrionic powers, which Breiting bears to him. Ile was called for at the con eiusion of the performance, and received with all the honours. Staudigl was tha Bertram, and acted the part as he only could do. We know not whether to admire Staudigl most as a singer or as an actor. Madame Stoeckel Heinefetter did full justice to the exqti , ite music of the part of Alice, and Madame Schodel had a full opportunity for exhibiting the great compass of her voice in the part of the Princess, of which she knew well how to avail herself. Both the ladies were rapturously applauded. The part of Raimund is a small part, but it was made of importance by the beautiful ringing of Herr Abresch. His duet with Staudigl, at the opening of the second act was one of the gems of the opera. The voices har. monised beautifully. it is a work of supererogation to speak in praise of the German choruses, or band. We cannot close this notice without bestowing our meed of approbation upon the Ballet. Miss Bailin, as Helena, was most fascinating. The house was exceedi ng ly we ll fill e d. The pit was a bumper, from the commencement. TILE Moors.—As the shooting season approaches, inquiries from sportsmen in the south, who wish to take moors, are as numerous as in former years ; and Inverness bids fair to keep up its title of the sportsman's toll-bar for the Northern Highlands. From the continued rains in the end of last season, the grouse became as wild as hawks, so that plenty of birds must have been left for breeding; and, up to the present period, this season has been highly propitious. Over all the moors, except the very highest, this week will be what is called the great hatch—the most critical time for the tiny cheepers—and, if lain falls heavily, the poor draggled birds are unable to crawl through the heather, where they perish. Hence the difference in the numbers which compose the broods. In fine dry summers, coveys will average four or five brace, while, in wet scam ns, rarely more than half that number ever take wing. The prospects of the season fur anglers are certainly of the roost cheering complexion Our spring salmon fishings have he.n unusually good. The rivers are now teeming with fry, descend ing to the sea, and when the grisle season commences, every pool will be searched by lovers of the genie craft. The merry month of June invites numerous piscatorial parties, where, in among the mountains," from loth to loch, they pursue the finny tribes, and enjoy, in detail, the beauties of the Highland landscape. The following are some of the shoot ing quarters which ace already let :—lnvereshie, to W, Evans, Esq., of Allestree ; Corrybrough, to H. F. Whish, Esq. ; Braham Castle,. tsohaGwe,ort,,gesq.S,teocik .I::vko'rehtlilnn'stiEntag:l;inag, Esq. ; Knoydar m; and Inveree, to R. F Glen doe, to W. B. W'ainman, Esq. ; Canon House and slaitotings, to J. M. Itoulderson, Esq. ; Logic, to Inverness Courier. ROYAL MAIIINES.—"GARRISON ORDER, JUNE :3, iS4 4 .—Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield has the gratify_ ing task of reporting to Colonel Parke, and the officer s o f the Royal Marines, his unqualified auprobation of everythin g eon• nected with their service brought under his notice at the in spection 3 esterday. His Lordship begs Colonel Parke and the officers will accept his best thanks for their attention throughout the day." An officer from the Royal Marine Artillery attended the inspection, and selected several men for duty in that branch of the service, and on no occasion had he less difficulty in making his choice from such a number of fine men, as a body, composing the corps. THE SUN, LONDON, I IIIURSDA I EVEN INtir, JUNE 9. i 842. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - ASCOT HEATH RACES.WEI:INESDAY. Race meetings, like theatres, have their " off days." The term is applicable to the Tuesday and Thursday at Epsom, to the Wednesday and Friday at Ascot and Doncaster ; and there was nothing in the proceedings yesterday to vary its received character. The sport, although of first•rate excellence, did not excite any interest beyond the moment. The company was thin, and the stands, one only excepted, were opened to almost empty benches. For the " Grand" day, and we have every reason to anticipitate that its distinctive ap pellation will be justly applied, the most extensive preparations are in progress. The list contains the Cup and seven other races, and as they will occupy some hours in runn ing off, even should time be observed (which it was not on Tuesday), her Majesty's arrival will take place a little before one, and the first race immediately after. It is to be wished, however, that the ceremony of clearing the course may not be attempted until after the Queen has passed up it. On the first day, by compelling the people to keep outside the rails, not only during the passage of the royal carr i a ges up t h e course , b ut after the Trial Plate was run, many hundreds who were anxiously waiting to w e l come her Majesty, were not even aware of her arrival, until apprised of it by the cheering in the immediate vicinity of the Royal and Grand Stands. '1 his un looked for innovation was the only drawback upon one of the Trost brilliant Tuesdays ever seen at Ascot. The following is a brief sketch of yesterday's running : The Swinley Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft., for 3 yrs ; 7st 41b ; 4 yrs, Bst. 101 b ; fillies, &c. allowed 31b. Last mile and a half.

Heathcote's Hydaspes Mr. Rush's c, by Plenipotentiary out of Marestield's dam 4 Betting-5 to 4on Auckland, sto 2 agst Barrier, and 7to 2 agst Hydaspes. Barrier made the running at a steady pace, followed by Hydaspes, Auckland third, and the Plenipo tentiary colt about two lengths in his rear. '1 he speed and places continued thus to the distance, where Hydaspes gave way, and Auckland took his ;lace in attend ance on Barrier. At the half-distance, they closed, and made so brilliant and close a finish, that until the Judge had awarded the victory to the Honourable Member for Dublin, by a head, it was impossible to say which had won. Plate of 50/. for three yrs old, 7st 41b; four yrs, Bst Sib; five yrs, &c., 9st 21b; mares and geldings allowed 31bs ; those that have run once in 1842 and sot won, allowed albs; twice, 51bs.

' Betting-3 to 1 agst the winner, 4to 1 agst St. Jean D'Acre, sto 1 agst Cornuto, and 6to 1 agst Mulciber. St. Jean D'Acre and Mulciber made strong running to the distance, where Dromedary, the Escape fi3y, and Cornuto left the Crown and made a beautiful race home, the first two finish ing with a dead heat, beating Cornuto by half a length ; the others were tailed off. For the deciding heat it was 6 to 4on tie Escape filly, which made all the running and won by a length. Her Majesty's Plate of 100 guineas, three-yrs-old, 7st 21b ; four yrs, 9st 21b ; five yrs, lOst Olb ; six yrs and aged, • lOst 51b. From the New Mile-post, once round and in.

Ajax took the lead at a slow pace, fulloweJ by E. 0., the fa vourite lying a couple of lengths behind the latter ; they ran thus till near the top turn, where • a dog ran into the course right in front of Satirist, who went over him, and was nearly over the ropes ; at this moment Ajax increased the pace, and with a lead of several 'lengths, ran nearly round the course, Sa tirist never approaching him until he reached the Stand ; Ro binsun then made an effort, but failed, Ajax winning cleverly by three parts of a length, without having teen headed.

The presence of the Court at Ascot, the capital bill of fare, and the splendid weather, have attracted many of our leading speculators. The room was but moderately attended at noon; several engagements were, however, made to small amounts.

DR. ELLIOTSON ON THE PHRE NOLOGICAL :DEVELOPMENT AND CHA RACTER OF GOOD THE MURDERER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " MNDiCAL tIMES." Sir,—Having readily obtained the kind permission 1 of the senior Sheriff to take a cast of the head of Good, the lately executed criminal, I sent a very able workman, named Casci, residing at No. 3, Ha.rford buildings, Drury-lane, for that purpose. Mr. Casci is at liberty to sell copies of the cast to any person, and I believe they may he obtained either at his house, or that of his master, Brucciani, Little Russell street, Drury-lane. I was not present vAii the cast was taken ; but, while the head was being shaved, I pointed out its bad development, remarking that the sides of the head, at covetiveness, destructiveness, and cunning, were coming into view of very large size. Of Good's guilt there can be no doubt. His pro mise of the victim's clothes so long beforehand to another woman, his inability after his condemnation to direct to the matchman of whom he spoke, tell powerfully against him. The Chaplain of the prison repeatedly asked him, after his condemnation, why, if he was innocent, h e did not say he Was a murdered man, since he would b e f u lly justified in such a decla ration ? But this he could never be brought to say. When he lived at Clapham he once set fire to the bed in which his wife lay ill, in order to terrify her. I have heard proofs of his being a passionate man. His facility of lying was evinced by his assurance to the excellent Governor of Newgate, who fancied he re cognised him, that he had never been in prison before under another name, though he h 3 been there under the name of Sullivan, convicted of a robbery. He had been twice convicted of a robbery ; once of ar ticles from th boots of a public coach; once of ar ticles which he seized from the hall of a gentleman's house, while waiting with his carriage for his mas ter's family, who were there at an evening party. He took the opportunity, when no servant was in the hall, of making a dash at coats, cloaks, and a shawl worth 40 guineas, all which he deposited in the carriage. He was sentenced to transportation; but a gentleman with whom he had lived, and whom he had waited upon most attentively in an infectious disease, when every other servant feared to approach the gentleman, pleaded for him, and he was sent to the Penitentiary. During the last fire but one which broke out in that building, he was so useful that his sentence was re mitted, and he was set at liberty. In Newgate his conduct was always gentle and respectful; whatever was wished of him he did ; no prisoner ever gave less trouble. His conduct to his superiors seems always to have been very respectful and obliging. His strong desire of approbation and notice was also shown in his speeches to the Sheriff, Chaplain, and Governor, during their last interview with him ; in the letters he dictated full of civil things to various persons ; and in his attempt ts address the crowd while the cap was putting over his face • in his rising at the end of the service on the preceding day, and raising his arms and God-blessing the congregation, just as he God blessed the audience at the close of his trial ; and in his unexpected speech in his own defence after his Counsel had concluded. After his condemnation, he was constantly expressing a hope that on the day of his execution it would be a fine morning. He was anxious not to wear the prison clothes, especially at the time of the condemned sermon and hit execution ; and on the last morning he carefully spread the ends of his white cravat over his blue checked shirt, in order to conceal it. Of his sexual propensity we have sufficient proof. He confessed to having been a very bad man. He heard his sentence unmoved. His firmness of the denial of murder did not forsake him even at the last. His protestations of inno cence of blood-guiltiness were strenuous. He could put up with a bad character in other respects, provided he was not regarded as a murderer. He was passionately fond of his son. At the last interview the boy was unwilling to approach him and shake hands with him, but Good violently embraced the boy ; made him sit down and read a psalm to him, being himself unable to either read or write ; and, on the child leaving him, fell upon his knees and prayed for him, and looked after him at the door of his cell as long as he was in sight. Of his caution and cunning we have abundant proofs. His want of intellect appeared in everything. Cunning enough he was, but he evidently had a miserable un derstanding. His idea that his protestations of inno cence would be believed ; that his flatteries would be valued ; that his displays for notice would redound to his credit; his constant desire that the morning of execution would be fine ; in short, his whole conduct prove him to have been deficient in intellect, though full of cunning. His head is in strict accordance with Gall's disco veries. It is a head of very limited understanding and moral feelings, and intense animal feelings. The portion devoted to intellect is very small, ex ceedingly narrow. The breadth steadily augments in a striking manner from the sides of the forehead to the parts above the ear. We have only to place a pair of compasses above the ears, where Destructive-. ness or Cunning lie, and then bring them forwards, to see the great difference. The breadth of the fore head. is 44- inches, but the part over the ears is more than 6 inches. This, and the parts of the sides above together with the back of the head, corre sponding to portions of the brain in which reside the feelings equally supplied to brutes as to man, are of great size. A considerable portion of the crown of the head, where the higher moral feelings are placed, is narrow, and slopes off at the sides, as it usually does in unscrupulous persons. The organ which gives refinement of feeling, called in England Ideality, is, as in other low criminals, very small. The whole head is rather small, being but 22 inches in circum ference ; and its circumference would not have been 30 great, but that the organ of Parental Love is of unusual magnitude. Courvoisier's cast was above 23 inches in circumference. But for the great prepon derance of the feelings in which the brute is equal to man, over the intellectual and higher moral faculties, the head would have been exceedingly small. If, as in my pamphlet on Courvoisier, published by Highley, Fleet-street, we signify mean developement by the figure 3 ; large by the figure 4 ; very large by 5 • small by 2 • and very small by 1: the relative de velopment will thus : FEELINGS.

None of his intellectual faculties exceeded 3: those which reached 3 were, with one exception, the inferior intellectual faculties, one or more - of 'which is often very strong in very unintel lectual persons ; and the majority of the superior in tellectual faculties were but as 2. I may remark, first, that of the organs marked 5, Parental Love is the largest. (A friend has sug gested that Good might have left his wife for Jones with the hope of children, and wished to exchange Tones for Butcher from finding her unlikely to be come a mother again.) Secondly, that, although Sexual Love is marked 4, it is the largest among those marked 4, and, but fcr the great size of Pa rental Love and Cautiousness, would have been placed in the first class. Thirdly, that poetic feeling is the imallest among those marked 2. Fourthly, that those :organs to which a query is appended are not uni versally admitted by phrenologists, and form no part Gall's system. Of the organs of Hope and Con scientiousness, I have the greatest doubts. Those persons who have the summit in general of their head shaped like a penthouse or keel have little con science; but the subdivisions of the sides of the'sum nit into organs of Conscientiousness and Hope, are, - .o my mind, far from substantiated ; and the size of Dr. Spurzheim's organ of Conscientiousness in Good :s only one of numerous facts contradictory of its truth. Fifthly, that strength of the orgus of Irene -ation may have nothing to do with religion ; b t Good's conduct to all his superiors, on all occasions, showed, I think, the force of the 'eeling in him.

The occurrence of such organizations as the present, the head being " shaven in iniquity," and thus the man " not a law to himself," shows the imperative duty of the middle and high classes of society to pro vide sound education for all, and to set examples of rational and virtuous lives, so as to increase the mo tives for good conduct and lessen those for bad, and improve, as is certainly possible, the shape of the head. At present 'their opinions, views, and conduct, fall very far short of real civilization.—l have the honour to remain, &c. JOHN ELLIOTSON. 37, Conduit-street, May 31, 1842. CAUTION 1N THE USE OF GUNS.. The following useful directions are extracted from . the Sporting Reriew of this month : Never purchase or shoot with a gun that is not per fectly sound in all its parts, and especially in the inside of the barrels, and in the construction of the locks ; and whether new or second•haud, be well assured of its having been manufactured, bone fide, by a respectable gunmaker, and not merely got up for sile, with'a decep tive exterior, and a pirated name upon it. " Never suffer a gun, at any time, to be held fur a moment, or ever carried, so as to be• likely to come in the direction of either man or beast."—Hawker. Never put your hand or arm upon the muzzle of a gun ; nor lean over it. Never blow into the barrel of a gun, whether loaded or unloaded. Never use a gun for any other purpose than the one for which it is obviously intended ; and especially as a hammer, a mallet, a walking or a bush-beating stick ; as a hook to draw the boughs of a thorn or tree toward:. you ; as a staff to " bang dog," to lean upon, or to sup port yourself ; to assist your fat friend up a bank, over or out of a ditch, or as a prop or leaping-pole, to help yourself over hedge or ditch.: nor is there any occasion to take flying leaps with it in your hand, however anxious you may be to display. your agility. Never take a loaded gun into a house, unless the caps, or primers, be first removed, and the tops of the nipples rubbed with a glove or handkerchief, the gun be kept in your own hand, or immediately placed under lock and key. But the safest plan, of course, is to make the first eigut words of this caution a rule absolute. HORACE WALPOLE'S COLLEC- TION. We perceive that the far-famed collection of prints and books of prints, splendid gallery works of arts and folios of drawings, the most distinguished artists of the different schools of Italy and other countries, formed by Horace Walpole Earl of Orford, are 11011 removed from their locality in the round tower of Strawberry-hill, to George Robins's Great Rooms, Covent •garden, for public competition to commence next Monday, and con tinue during the following nine successive days of sale (except on Sunday). The collection in itself embraces a most valuable series of engraved British Portraits, many thousands in •num her, commencing with the time of King Alfred the Great, and progressively continues to the termina tion of the eighteenth century, many of which, in point of impression, are of the choicest quality, and of the utmost rarity, inasmuch as several of them have not hitherto met the observation -of the most indefatigable of collectors of our present age, teeming as the collection does with the superiorsvorks of all our eminent engravers of past ages, in the assemblages of oar Nobility. Statesmen, Dignified Clergy, Judges, Military nod Naval Commanders, Gentry, Distinguished Characters in Science, Literature, and the Fine Arts— Ladies of elevated rank, and of individuals of remarka ble notoriety. • This portion of the collection occupies the first six days of the sale. The remaining portion of this distinguished and un equalled collection presents to view the unique assem blage of the works of William Hogarth, George Vertue, and an invaluable collection of portraits of .painters and engravers that have exercised their respective avocations in this country, and which in cludes upwards of seventy. drawings, by G. VER TUE, who originally formed the series ; collections of engravings by the early German and Italian pro - ficients in the art '• - collections of drawings in portfolios, bearing the - Royal Arms of Spain ; a complete series of prints engraved by BARTOLOZZI, from the precious col lection of gems, in the possession of John Duke of Marl borough; a presentation copy to Lord Orford from the Duke ; nearly a complete series of the Oxford Almanacks, 'containing that for the year 1664, of which only two others are known as being in a perfect state ; splendid works on Architecture, Local British Topography and Antiquities, British. and Foreign History ; • also copiously illustrated works. Among them is that of a large paper copy of Thuani's " Historiarum sui Temporis," in which are extremely rare portraits of all the contemporary monarchs of that period; volumes of prints from the most splendid galleries of paintings throughout Europe ; rare old manuscripts . of a peculiar interesting description, and some few on Heraldry ; together with the commonplace • books of Ate. George Vertue, of memoranda relating - to the origin and progress of the fine arts in this country, and of the artists of whose works he specifies, and of other mat ters of note in .his persevering researches during a 'peried of forty years. Very descriptive catalogues are now in course of distribution. N.B.—lt is inquired of us, if the wiseacre who did the Strawberry-hill report is hired to abuse this splendid exhibition also ? AN EASTERN MILITARY DANDY. Ho (not the sage but the soldier) was a gay and hand some youth as ever laughed at wrinkled care, or, sure of conquest, bent his knee in homage to a lady bright. The excessive neatness of his dress and person, redolent of countless perfumes, Confessed the anxious solicitude with which his toilette had been attended to. The dark ness of his roving eye, indicated the care with which the jetty kohol* had been. that morning drawn by the bod kin's point inside the lids ; and his black moustache and curling beard seemed perfvctly fresh from the experienced hands of his favourite Hirjatn. Shining with oil of roses, a love lock dangled on the cheek of the youthful hero ; who wore a silken robe covered with rich embroidery, ❑nder which appeared a vest sparkling with jewels. His slender waist was bound with a snow white belt or girdle,' suspended from which by chains of silver hung a golden hilted scimitar. His target was covered with the skin of the rhinoceros, which, by a peculiar process, was ren dered as clear and transparent as crystal ; and it was further adorned with bosses of silver, unstained by the toils of camp or battle. He rode a light moon-coloured charger, of the fleet and docile breed of Yemen, whose mettle he displayed with grace and skill iu many a cur vet and detnivolt, while every pace and action of the noble animal evinced his pure descent and gentle blood. —From " Savindroog" in the Metropolitan Magazine. * " The women," says Russell, (arid he might have added tl.e dandies also) "blacken the inside of their eyelids with a powder named the black Kohol " 'f his operation is performed by dipping first into the powder a small wooden bodkin, of the thickness of a quill, and then drawing it afterwards, through the eyelids, over the ball of the eye.—Shaw's Travels: DR. REID'S LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY. Dr. Reid delivered another lecture last night at Exeter Hall, which at its outset treated uron ammonia, and concluded in a dissertative discourse upon the nature of the chemical earths. Ammonia, he demonstrated, was the only alkali that was gaseous, and, as a substance, was obtainable from a variety of matters. One property which it possessed was that of emit ting an intense blue, when brought into contact with copper. Owing to' this. circumstance. it was used as an infallible test . of copper, as in the case of kettles, saucepans, &c., of that me tal, whose state of whlesomeness or neutrality was doubt ful. This hint was given to the housewives. Entexing upon the second division of his lecture, the Doctor observed, that, according to chemical distribution, their names were baryta, strontia, lime, and magnesia. Lime was the most prominent of the four. It was used in the arts, and constittued a most powerful auxiliary in chemical experimenting. l's powers were also invaluahle, arising fr,m its capabilities in puritying air and water, so that however offensive the latter fluid might be ren dered, lime was able to, imbue it with the freshness and purity of the living spring, destroying every animal, and corroding every jot of vegetable matter in solution. The Doctor further stated :hat he had tound it of singular benefit in those localities where the air was unavoidably surcharged with acid. This was fre quently the case in large manufacturing towns, where as much as 100 tons cf muriatic gas was not uncommonly e-elved in a minute; in such places lime acts as a powerful dispelier of the noxious gas. A couple of experiments ensued, one exhibiting the earth baryta in a state of combustion, which burnt with a pallid green flame ; and the other the burning of strontia, which suffused the whole room with a rich luminous crimson. Clay and silica, continued the Doctor, might also be classed among the earths ; the latter was a mighty pervarier of nature. Commonly found in sand, it formed the sea-shore—the rock, the strata extending numerous depths into the earth ; the i ock crystal in which it appi ared in its purest form, and flint of which it formed 98 to 99 per cent. 'Phis substance, however insoluble in sea-sand or rock-crystal, might yet be rendered soluble in water, more paiticularty when heated with an alkali, which rendered it transparent and colourless. A pit ce of dull coloured bottle-glass was here exhibited by the Doctor, who explained that it bad assumed . that stony hue owing to its hating cooled slowly, otherwise it would have been clear as ;lass itself. Similarly, in many cases were the ro2ks of nature stony and indiaphanous, from the same lengthened pro. eess of cooling, which otherwise would have been vitreous 'lid lucid masses. Silica, the Doctor finally remarked, been of late years much employed in the make and composition of :clap. It was well known that the alkali was commonly mixed with oil or tallow, in order to destroy the corrosive qualities of the former; but silica had been discovered to possess the same neutralizing, amalgamating, and other requisite qualities in as eminent degree; silica-soap, aideed, was very excellent soap. The perspicacity observed by Dr. Reid throughout his lecture, conibined with the run of brilliant experiments he displayed, no less gratified than in structed his very numerous audience.

More rich and genuine fun, rare, yet quiet humour, wild and ludicrous adventure, re. reved by touches of genuine sentiment and fine feeling, have (Lever been sa prodigally scattered through a single work before. The Quaker on the guard bed, and the young sol tier receiving the tendernesses of broadbrias's fair relatives, the , cenes in St. Andrew's watch-house, and Mark Antony's pas •ages with the widow and the poor stroller, rival in intensity ~f fun and purity of pathos, any novel that has ever been writ.. .en.

At the meeting of the Roman Catholic Institute of Great Britain, held yesterday in London, Mr. O'CONNELL said he wanted to see the day when High Mass would be performed in 'Westminster Abbey, and he doubted not, from present appearances, that ere long he should have that happiness. If Puseyism go on at the railroad speed with which it has been advancing for the last ten years, and the feuds between that sect and the Hamp enites be suffered to continue, within ten years . more the great champion of the Catholics, should he live, will probably see his wish fulfilled. The Bench of Bishops, a vast number of the clergy, and, what is still more ominous, the majority of the teachers -of youth at the national universities, show a marked tendency towards - the new doc trines. All that is wanting is to imbue the law makers with the same principles ; and as the stream naturally partakes of the character of its source, that must ultimately be the result. Certainly at no period since the Reformation has the Protestant Church been exposed to such danger, or have the enemies of our _ national establishments had such cause for rejoicing, as at the present moment. Divisions, to an extent hitherto unknown, prevail in the south as well as in the north of the island ; ecclesiastical and civil authority are alike despised ; the house is divided against itself, and unless protected by more than human power cannot stand. In Scotland, within a very brief period, forty ministers and licentiates have been be reaved of their rights, and mercilessly driven from the bosom of the Church ; many hundreds more are exposed to the same late ; • but what is, still more alarming, in respect to the security of the Establishment, is the utter contempt in which the Church Courts are held by nearly one-half of the members. They hare, in fact, cast off ecclesiastical authority, and look for redress only from the civil power. Affairs have not yet come •to this pass in England, but they are fast approaching to a similar state of anarchy. The Oxford Professor of Divinity is regarded as little better than a heathen by a majority of his brethren ; attendance on his lectures is not considered necessary to qualify young men for the Church ; and we have thus the singular pheno menon of a teacher of divinity placed in the chair by her. MAJESTY, the head. of the Church, while a great pro portion of the members disown this authority, and refuse to hold communion with the nominee of the Crown. In the Church, too, we find "young ardent spirits" setting up for themselves, rejecting the advice, and sometime s injunctions, of their superiors, ,using candles and cruci fixes and genuflexions as religiously as the POPE him self, and evidently as determined, too, as any member of the Scotch Kirk, to set both canon and. civil law at defiance. The ecclesiastical body altogether seems sadly out a - joint, the members rebelling against. the head, and at the same time fighting with one another, as if Archbishops and Bishop's and General Assemblies had suddenly lost all power and control. .The Church of Rome rejoices over these dissension s Ite holds up the unity of the Catholic faith as the best pr<lof of its divine origin, and i -like Mr:O'CONNELL, looks for ward to the-happy day when England, once the brightest ornament of the Pontiff's mitre, shall be restored to. - the' Holy See. These certainly are melancholy forebodings for Protestants, bite the conduct of Episcopalians and Presbyterians - fully warrants.the worst apprehensions. The Madrid Papers received are to the Ist instant ESPARTERO was trying in vain to form a Cabinet. He first sent for OLOZAGA, who had been mainly instru mental in ousting the late_ Ministry. - To the no small surprise of the REGENT, that gentleman declined having anything to do with the Ministry. The REGENT dis missed him with visible marks of. displeasure. Senor FERAR and General SAOANE were sent for in succes-. sion, but neither of them would accept office. This is a sad state of things. • - The Madrid Gazette, of the 31st, publishes the fol lowing financial decree:— " The Regent of the kingdom, fully sensible of the import ance of the payment of the interest of tle Three per Cent. Reifies, the creation of which, rendered necessary by the disasters of the civil war, had for their object to establish and e,nsolidate the national credit, as well as to give to public confi dence every possible guarantee, by removing the apprehensions of the timid, and defeating the manoeuvres of the evil disposed, has, with the concurrence of the council of Alinisters, decreed as follows: a A Committee shall be formed, composed of the Directors of the Treasury, of the Sinking Fund, ankof the Bank of Ferdinand, who shall be entrusted with the examination of all propositions tending to assure the payment of the interests c.orresponding to the two half-yearly dividends on the Three per Cent.

May Europe long owe the blessings tf peace to King LOUIS PHILIPPE. All eyes in France are now turned to the approaching elections. The Prase has the following statistical re marks on the subject : " From a statistical account of elections, published by the Minister of the Interior, in 1839, it appears that since 1831'. the choice of new Deputies has been gradually more acd more rare. Thus, in 1831, there were re-elected 222 old ileputies out of the 459 members of whom the Chamber is composed. In 1834 there were 292; in 1337, 310; and in 1839,381. 'I he same paper also shows that from Is3o, when the first reduction of the elective qualification was made, th, number of electors giving their votes has increas e d. I s . 1831, out of 16:4583, inscribed on the electoral lists, 125,00 i, gave their votes. In 1834; out of 1;1,015 e.ecturs, 129,212 voted. In 1837, out of 193,836 electors, 131,720 voted, an... in 1839, out of 201,271 electors, 154,862 were voters. So that not orly have tF.r numbers inscribed on the lists been aug mented, but those exercising their franchise have increase, also in proportion. In 1831, it will be found these were three fourths, and in 1839 they amounted to four-fifths." BUUItSk.-I:.tuts, TUESDAY, JUNE 7. First Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Pric.. Price. eren.:h 5 nee.

This return match, which has excited such interest in the sporting world, and particularly among the members of the Universities, was on Tuesday decided in favour of the Mary lebone gentlemen, by their winning the match in one innings, and with forty-three runs to spare, after two days' beautiful and scientific play. The inclosure on Monday, as well as on Tuesday, was crowded with amateurs of this popular game. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen on the ground, we noticed the Earl of March (President of the Nlarylebone Club), the Earl of Verularn, Lord F. Beauclerk, Lord W. Beresford, Lord Gardner, Sir J. Bayley, Sir Hume Campbell, the Hon. S. Montague, the Hon. R. Grimstone, the Hon. S. Ponsonby, and the Hon. F. Ponsonby. It will be seen that both elevens differ from the list of players we published en Monday, Hillyer, a professional, being substi tuted on the Marylebone side fur Sir Frederick Bathurst, whose absence was unavoidable, and Nicholson, Egg., and Massey, Esq., for the Earl of Aboyne, and G. F. Bentinek, Esq. In the University eleven, H. Vivian. Esq., NV. Trevelvan ' E sq ., Esq., and R. Ba r k er , were re presented by W. Dc St. Croix, Esq., H ar t o pp, Esq., and Druce, Esq. The Marylebone side went in first, and the betting, in consequence of their previous success, was all in their favour. They cleared, as will be seen from the subjoined score, no less than two hundred and six runs, out of which Mr. Bailey made fifty, including two fives, three fours, and three threes; Mr. Taylor thirty-eight, comprising a six, seven twos, and a three; and Mr. K)naston thirty-six, scoring among other fine hits, two threes, two fours, and four twos. The batting of the e gentlemen was much admired; indeed they are three of the best wickets of the club. The Cantabs, in their first innings, ob tained only 50 runs, the batting and fielding of their adversaries being very effective. Mr. Taylor and Hillyer, by their style of bowling, lowered the wickets of the Cantabs in rapid suc cession. Mr. French, however, batted well, likewise Mr. Pickering, the former clearing thirty-two in his first innings, including a four, and six threes, and the latter, in his second innings ; of seventeen, out of which he got two fours and a three. The batting of Messrs. De St. Croix and Dewing was also of a superior order. In consequence of the innings of the Cantabs being 100 runs less than those of the Marylebone gen • tlemen, they were, according to the laws of the game, Cc/M -r:Red to go in fur their second innings, which they did, and only exceeded their former score by three runs.

At a meeting of this kind on Thursday, it was resolved that, on the following day, they should proceed en masse to the city, for the purpose of soliciting charity. On Friday fore , - noon accordingly, several hundreds of them as sem bl e d at t h e Royal Exchange, with the view, it appears, of commencing their tour of mendicancy through the city, by soliciting assistance from the gentlemen who attend the room. A benevolent gentleman, whose sympathies were excited by the appearance of so many of his fellow -creatures 4erking bread, resolved on spending a sum of money for the purchase of loaves, and proceeded, accompanied by the greater portion of the unemployed, to a baker's shop in Argle treet, where he bought a number of loaves, and handed them Out to the crowd, by whom they weregreedily accepted. At pre. .ent about 4,000 rations of soup and lfread are distributed daily WO persons are employed at labour, either in breaking stones or levelling a piece of ground on the Milton estate, near to the Lunatic Asylum. To-day an additional number will be set to these out-door employments, and about 200 webs will be giver. out for idle hand loom weavers, thus extending the means of employment to 600 men. Even this will not meet the evil, but, through the exertions of the Committee, it is hoped that additional work will be speedily provided fur the greater number of the unemployed.- Glasgow Argus. KENDAL, THURSDAY.—The crops of grain in this neigbOurhood are of the most promising description. In po tatoes, the flat reds, of which there have been, as usual, many planted hereabouts, have proved a failure, not one in twenty of the sets having made their appearance. In such cases the ground is being re-set. with those of other descriptions. The most agreeable of all companions is a simple, frank man, without any high pretensions to an oppressive greatness; one who loves life, and understands the use of it; ` obliging, alike at all hours; above all, of a golden temper, and' steadfast as an anchor.
