Yesterday being the day set apart for the commemoration of Ler Majesty's birth-day, the club houses, and the several houses of her Majesty's tradespeople, were brilliantly:illuminated in the evening. The illuminations last night were more brilliant and numerous than we have seen them for some time past. Pall- Mall appeared one blaze of light, as did St. James's-street, Wa terloo-place, and Bond-street. It was feared throughout the day that the weather would prove unfavourable, as the sky towards the middle of the day became overcast and lowering. The evening however turned out to be beautifully fine, and the streets in the west end of the town, by nine o'clock, were thronged with spectators. Perhaps the most splendid of the illuminations was the house of his Grace the Duke of Beaufort. The device consisted of an immense imperial crown,: in gi een and silver• coloured lamps, supported on each side by the letters V. R , also in lamps, and there were two large union flags, the whole encircled with an immense wreath, combining the blossoms and leaves of the rose, shamrock, and thistle.

Molique, Mohr, and Hausmann, gave their first Soiree Musicale last evening, at the Concert•rooms, Hanover-square. The following was the programme : PART I. Quartet in C, No. 6, for two Violins, Viola, and Violoncello, Messrs. Molique, Mohr, Hill, and Hausmann Canzonet, " The Mermaid's song," Miss Bassano 1 laydn. Variations, Flute, Mr. Mohr Bohm. Aria, " Cujus animam," Mr. J. Bennett (first time of performance in this country...( Stabat Mater) .. Sonata in A Minor (dedicated to R. Kreutzer), Pianoforte and Violin, Madame Dulcken and M. Molique PART 11. Quartet in A Minoi• (MS.), two Violins, Viola, and Violoncello, Mean's. Molique, Mohr, Hill, and Hausmann, (first time of performance),—.. • Duet, " Come, be gay," Milli Ra.ssano,apd Miss Marshall (Der Friesdhutz) - Weber. Fantasia on Austrian Melodies, Violin, M. Molique, (first time of performance in this country) ... Molique. Terzetto, " Ti prego, o madre pia !" Miss Bas sano, Miss Marshall, and Mr. J. Bennett Curshmann. Conductor, M. Benedict. Mozart's quartet in C was beautifully executed, and in these days of trombones, cornets, and ophicleides, it is quite delightful to hear a classical work like this care fully, chastely, and correctly given ; and to see the violin, the viola, and the violoncello, the instruments of Purcell, and Locke, and Corelli, and Handel, thus vindicating their supremacy over. their more noisy juniors. Mr. Mohr is not only a good violinist, but also an excellent flutist. His execution of Bohm's variations was masterly, and entitles him to the highest rank among the professors of that instrument. There may be a few, and but a few, who can equal him in brilliancy of execution, but fur sweetness of tone and delicacy of expression, Mr. Mbhr stands unrivaled. It was subjecting Rosini's "Stabat Mater" to a rude trial to disconnect one aria from it, and give it as a solo in a miscellaneous concert. That trial, however, it has borne. The " Cujus animam" bears the mark of the master, and having heard that one aria, we are more anxious to hear the whole composition. Why does not the Sacred Harmonic Society take it up ? We know of no other musical body in England which could give the "Stabat Mater" as a whole, and for the future as a whole let it be. given, or not at all. It is impossible, by the production of mere disjecta membra, to do anything like justice to such a composition as the " Stabat Mater." All that could be done by two instru ments for Beethoven's Sonata, was done by Madame Duleken and M. Molique, but it was like a beautiful outline engraving of a finished picture. Beethoven is the most graphic of musicians, and it is impossible to give the full tone of his compositions, to discriminate all the beautiful tints of light and shadow, without a full orchestral accompaniment. We now come to the great feature of the evening, M. Molique's quartet in A minor. This is a thoroughly classical composition, worthy to rank with those of the best masters of the best times. It is replete with genius and origi nality, but genius chastened by severe taste and so completely under the control of the judgment g l ig n ili t a t i h it a Y t it never degenerates into eccentricity. We trust that in the succeeding Soirees, for we are happy to say there are two more to come, M. Molique will again favour us with some of his classical comp°• sitions for stringed instruments. This quartet was lis tested to throughout with the most profound attention, and at its conclusion was rapturously applauded. This speaks well fOr the revival of musical taste amongst us, and v,e hope that what Mr. Taylor has done for vocal chamber-music, by the revival of a popular taste for madrigals, will be done by M. Molique for instrumental chatuar-music by the revival of a popular taste for quar tets. In his fantasia on Austrian airs, in which heintro duced a series of brilliant variations on the 'air generally known as Weber's last waltz. M.Molique proved his perfect command over his instrument. The most difficult and rapid chromatic passages were brilliantly and effectively executed, and that without the least apparent effort. The tcrzetto at the conclusion was well sung by Miss Bassano, Miss Marshall, and Mr. J. Bennett, and the pianoforte accompaniment was given by Benedict, with his usual taste and discrimination. The audience was numerous and fashionable. ELECTION COMMITTEES. CORK (COUNTY). The Committee met at the usual hour. Mr. Hayter in the Chair. John Philpotts was called and examined by Mr. Sergeant WEANGHAIVI.— is a voter of the county of Cork. Lives near Mill- street. Went to vote at the last election. Was accompanied by three others. When he was coming towards Cork he saw a great crowd. He then diverged from the main road, and came into Cork before the crowd. When lie got into the city, he, and those who were with him, were , as saulted by stones. One of them got a blow of a stone on the side of the head. He (witness) lost his own hat. Went into the Court-house to vote. Saw a person of the name of Woods. He (Woods) left the Court, and was followed out by two men, who pointed out Woods to a person outside. He then suspected something, and went out a the Court by the. back door to warn Woods. When he got round; he saw several persons following Woods, and amongst them the two persons who followed him from the Cc:tuft-house ; he was beaten with sticks ; Woods was doing, nothing. Witness did not vote on Tuesday -; did not vote afterwards He was 'afraid to do so, more especially as he heard Mr. O'Connell was to be in Court on Wednesday. He saw cards given by a Mr. O'Donovan, to those who voted for O'Connell and Roche. The substance of it was, " The bearer voted for O'Connell and Roche ; God save the Queen." Heard a person ray to one of the voters—" Put up that card in your hat and you will be safe." Told his father and uncle not to vote in aonsequenee of that. When Woods was beaten I.e saw some police. Witness asked them to interfere. They refused to do so. They were afraid. To the Committee—Did not know Condon at the time N il v i h m o , r n e o f ' u v. sed to interfere. Told o A f i t s h , e m e e le o c f ti t o h n e . p K ers no o l n v s s Does not know if he Mr. Newman that the police refused to interfere. He might have voted if he had remained in the Court house. Heard of the intention of Messrs. Leader and Longfield to give up the contest about half-past five o'clock. Had not heard of an application being made to adjourn the election at an earlier part of the day. Did not see any persons with chalk marks. Does not par ticularly interest himself at the Registration Courts, Thinks himself a Liberal, but does not like a Repealer. Mr. GRAINGER—Pray, what do you mean by a Liberal ? Witness—l think a Liberal is a, person who supports the laws and Constitution, and who is not a Repealer. Most of the English are Liberals. Mr. Sergeant WItANGHAM—I should like to put the same question to each member of the CoMmittee.—(A laugh.) I believe each would have his own idea of a Liberal. Henry Wallis, a Magistrate, and Deputy-Lieutenant of the county of Cork, was next called. The evidence of Captain Wallis was of a similar nature with that already adduced, except that he stated he had been attacked in his return from the election, both in Macroom and Mill-street. Mr. Lindesay, a voter from Kanturk, gave evidence of a similar description. He had been attacked in Cork, and received two blows on the head from a bludgeon, which cut him. _ The Committee then adjourned till to-day. LYME REGIS, The Committee met yesterday at ten o'clock. The vote of James Cousins was objected to by the petitioner, and, after hearing some evidence, the vote was retained. Some of the members having to go to the Drawing room, the Committee adjourned at a few minutes to one o'clock. The sitting Member is still in a majority of one.. GRAND MILITARY INSPECTION OF THE HOUSEHOLD "TROuPS. Shortly after nine o'clock yesterday, detachments of the First Life Guards, the Granedier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier Foot Guards, to the amount of several thousands of men, assembled on the Grand Parade, in front of the Horse Guards, for inspection, in honour of the celebration of her most gracious Majesty's birth-day. A few minutes before ten his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Hill, the Duke of Wellington, and upwards of forty General Officers assembled on the ground, when the three Inf.ntry bands united hailed the noble party with the National Anthem. The troops were then instantly formed into line, when his Royal Highness, attended by his numerous staff; pro ceeded down the front line, the bawls playing in a masterly style his Royal Highness's favourite waltz. The First Life Guards, preceded by their fine brass band, then marched by the staff, followed close by - the Infantry in slow and qui& time, and with that precision for which they have always been celebrated. • Shortly before eleven the inspection terminated, when his Royal Highness Prince Albert expressed - . himself in the most satisfactory manner to the Several Officers of the Regiments assembled, highly complimenting them on the healthy appearance of the men and their truly soldier like appearance. The Frst Life Guards, for the first time, mounted a, newly improved helmet, of far more agreeable appear ance than those hitherto worn, and which seemed to ex eite the approbation of those military officers present. There were not less than 20,000 persons present, and not a single accident was heard of. • THE CHANDOS TESTIMONIAL. The ceremony . of presenting a piece of plate to the Duke otßuckingham. took place on Wednesday, at Ayles bury, when about 600 persons sat down to dinner. It was to have been given in the George Inn, but there being no room within the house sufficiently large to ac commodate the guests, a temporary banqueting hall was erected in the area. It was tastefully ornamented and hung with flowers and laurel branches, and lighted from the centre by a handsome chandeleir. The plate consists of a magnificent centre-piece, or ornament for a dinner-table, in silver, richly gilt. The base is a fluted ground, divided into circular pedestals, which rest on crouching lions, copies from those at Stowe, and admirably executed. Each of these pedes tals bears a figure typical of one of the different classes into which an agricultural peasantry are divided, namely, a ploughman, a shepherd, a sower, a reaper, a mower, and a dairy-maid. From the base a circular stand arises, and displays groups of cattle and a highly wrought has relief; representing the whole of the farmer's labour. From this springs a richly-fluted column sur mounted by a wheatsheaf, the Duke's crest, and sur rounded by three figures representing country gentle men and farmers, each bearing a scroll. On one is inscribed, " Chandos, Church and State," on the second, " Chandes, and the Corn-laws," and on the third, " Chandos, and the 501. clause." On the circular stand, surmounting the base, the Buckingham arms are richly chased, and a scroll displays itself, on which is engraved the following inscription : " THE CHANDOS TESTIMONIAL, " Presented by a very numerous body of farmers of Buckinghamshire, and other friends connected with agri culture, to Richard Plantagenet, Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, K.G., G.C.H., and P.C., on the 18th of May, 1842, to record their admiration of public princi ples steadily maintained in unsettled times, and as a tri bute of respect and gratitude for his services whilst Marquis of Chandos, as one of the Representatives of his native county in Parliament, where, for upwards of twenty years, he was the energetic, consistent, and suc cessful champion of . the agricultural interests of the United Kingdom." The weight of this costly specimen of British. art is 1,800 ounces, its height four feet six inches, and its value upwards of two thousand pounds. The chair was taken at half-past three o'clock by the Right Honourable the Earl of Orkney, supported on his right by his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, and on his left by Lord De Lisle ; and at the same table were Sir Thomas Freernantle, Mr. Joseph Neeld, M.P., Mr. John Neeld, M.P., Captain Boldero, M.P., Rev. Mr. Gleed, Mr. Ferrand, M.P., P. I. H. Williams, Esq., Oliver An dertlan, Esq., Mr. Scott Murray, M.P., &c. &c. After the usual lo3al toasts, The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—My dear Lord Duke, I cannot say with what feelings of personal delight and satisfaction I find myself deputed by the farmers of Buckinghamshire, and other friends attached to agricul ture, to present to your Grace the piece of plate which you now see before you.—(Loud cheers.) Handsome, I trust, your Grace will think it, but it is, I assure you, far below our estimate of what your past Services deserve. At the same time, I do trust that the list of subscribers will be satisfied. Fortunately it is not left fur me feebly to praise or to convey to your Grace the opinion which this county entertains of your character. It is clothed in most eloquent language in the address which Mr. Tyn dall, our Honourary Secretary, will be good enough to read.—(Cheers.) Mr. TYNDALL read the Address, which contained high compliments to his Grace for his uniform consistency and principle—reverence for ancient institutions—aver sion to great changes—and, above all, for the protection he had ever affbrded to the agricultural interest, justly entitling him to the epithet of " The Farmers' Friend." The reading of the Address was interrupted by frequent burst:: of applause, and, at the conclusion, the cheering was renewed and continued for several minutes. The company then roseand drank the Duke of Buckingham's health, with nine times nine. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM then rose, and addressed the meeting nearly as follows :—My Lords and Gentle men,—lf on former occasions, in this county, when sur rounded by large assemblages of my friends, I have felt any difficulty in returning thanks for your kindness,what must I now feel ? My Lords and Gentlemen, when Ilook round this vast assemblage, and see in this room the wealth, the power, the influence, and the intelligence of this county —(Cheers)—when I see around these tables some, who, in my early days, were the first to cheer my onward course in political life—when I see also those who have ever been my firm, consistent, and active friends—(Cheers) —when I look back to this time four-and-twenty years ago, when I first, within four days of the present time, started as candidate for your county, I cannot but feel difficulty indeed in expressing all that my heart feels on this occasion. Often, gentleman, as I have addressed you—often as I have received acts of kindness from you—l have not power • on this occasion to speak the sentiments of my heart.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The manner in which you have drunk my health, the kindness and approbation with which you have received the ex pressions contained in the eloquent Address which has just been read to you, the splendid and magnificent tribute of your affectionate regard I now see before me— all, together create in my mind a mass of gratitude which it is out of my power to express. With these feelings animating my heart, and with an anxious desire to put on record my feelings-towards this country, and to the friends who surround me, I will, with the permission of our Noble Chairman, place in your hands, in reply to your ' Address, one from myself, which, when I am gone, may recall to .your recollection the sentiments which' I entertain towards you all.—(Great cheering.) His Grace read the reply in which he adverted to the topics contained in the Address, and thus concluded : " And now, gentlemen, alloW me again to repeat my warmest thanks for the magnificence with which you have carried out your generous wishes to perpetuate the remembrance of your esteem and regard by this splendid tribute, The Chandos Testimonial,' subscribed to by the highest, as well as the most humble, in this county, hich will often remind me of absent and esteemed friends—of days of happiness when active in your service, and which will be handed down to my successors as one of their most valued possessions. " Let me offer you, too, my best acknowledgments for the flattering expressions contained in your Address— for the many useful and kind suggestions I have received from you during many pleasant hours of private inter s course, and at our social meetings—for your invariable indulgence—for your reception of me this day—for the costly and complete arrangements I see around me— and the patient attention which you have granted to this, I fear; imperfect attempt to give utterance to feelings that have almost overpowered me. May God bless you, my generous and valued friends, and so far as the best wishes of the individual who now thanks you for kind ness heaped up and running ever' can avail—may all long enjoy the comforts of a happy home, and live in the participation of every prosperity under the mild and benignant sway of our gracious and beloved Sovereign !" The following toasts were then given in succession : " The Bishops and Clergy;" " The Lord-Lieutenant and Magistrates of the County ;" "The Noble Earl in the Chair;" and " The County and Borough Members." The Duke of BUCKINGHAM, in proposing the health of the "British Farmer," said , it has been my good fortune through life to mix much with that important class of her Majesty's subjects, and I have felt a proud satisrac tion in being associated with a body of men who are dis tinguished by a loyalty and patriotism unequalled in the history of the world. If we look to this splendid country, our native land, and see the advancement which has been effected by the British farmer, we must, indeed, be proud of that class of her Majesty's subjects; and I must say, that no man has ever received greater marks of kindness from that body than I have, and those, too, not confined to the county with which lam connected so closely. It is not for me, on this occasion, to enter into political dis cussions, or to canvass what has been done, or what may not have been done, but I am proud to have seen the day when I could appear before my countrymen, and boldly assert, in the face of Heaven, that I never flinched for a moment, but always did my utmost in support of the agricultural interests of this kingdom.—(Loud cheers.) For I assure you of this, my Lords and Gentlemen, and the farmer may be assured, that although I have witnessed days in 'which his hopes and mine have been disappointed, still I am his wakeful, -and will ever be, his trusty sentinel.—(Cheers.) I regret that I am no longer the representative of the farmer's interests in the lower House of Parliament, but I do trust that there may be found in the other House opportunities for protecting those interests. Of this, however, I can assure you, that the grave shall close over me ere I shall cease my exertions for the welfare of the British farmer. I hope we may . both yet see a day in which we may not be so disappointed as we have been, for I have lived with the British fariner in his prosperity, and I trust sincerely that God will restore it to him. Mr. HORWOOD returned thanks. Colonel YYSE proposed " The health of the Marquis of Chandos," which was received with loud applause. The Marquis of CHANDOS said he could not adequately express his gratitude for the manner in which his health had been received by the distinguished assemblage he saw around him. If anything were wanting to stimulate him to a patriotic course, that want would be supplied by the acclamations with which his father's health had been received, and the readiness with which his services to the farmers had been acknowledged. He (the Marquis of Chandos) trusted that he might live to exhibit the same zeal, and to ears the same gratitude, by advocating the same principles.—(Hear, hear.) The other toasts w ere then disposed of, and the meeti ing broke up shortly after nine o'clock. DE. REID'S LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY.—Dr. Reid delivered another lecture at Exeter-hall, on Wednesday, which opened with a disquisition upon the properties of stoves in general, more especially Dr. Arnott's. The subject of spontaneous combustion led to some enter taining memoranda upon the readiness of fibrous and spongy matters, over laid with oil or similar fluid sub stances, to ignite spontaneously, when acted upon by the oxygen of the air. Combustible substances were stated, by the lecturer, to lurk to an incredible extent in whole ranges of the older houses of London ; from some of them in the city, he had himself removed ten tons of in flammable matter in the shape of small shavings of wood; and he gave it as his opinion that there ought to be a law of inspection instituted, whereby scientific men should be appointed in the cases of all new buildings, to re move such matter antecedent to their being inhabited. Some excellent experiments on the nature of phosphorus and sulphur concluded the evening's lecture. REMARKABLE BIRD'S NEST.—In the Bell Tavern at Eton College, there is at the present time a very re markable jackdaw's nest, and doubtless one of the largest ever seen. It completely blocks up the tower stairs, oc cupies fourteen_ steps, and is 8 feet 10 inches - in height. It is only partially lined, as the birds, owing to the num ber of visitors, have since forsaken it. The whole of the material with which it has been built, was conveyed by the industrious pair through a loop-hole in the tower twenty-four inches by seven inches, and some of the twigs employed in its formation are twenty-two inches long. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. - - PORTSMOUTH, MAY 18.—Sailed on Sunday, from Spit head, the troop-ship Resistance, 42, Commander Patey, having on board detachments of the 23d Fusileers from Chichester, fur conveyance to Quebec, whence she will return home with the 56th regiment. It was previously intended that the Resistance should take out from Al bany Barracks the regiment for St. Helena ; but they will now be conveyed thither by the transport, Aber crombie Robinson. The steamer Styx, Captain Vidal, has gone to Ply mouth to receive final orders, to proceed to the Azores for the completion of the survey of that coast. The Comas, 18, corvette, Acting Commander Davies, proceeded on Saturday to Chatham to be paid off, hav ing been in the West Indies nearly five years. Her former Commander, Evan Nepean, is promoted to the rank of Captain. The Pilot, 18, Commander Ramsay, Was left at Bermuda, and will be in England in August next. The Crocodile, 26, Mr. Elson, Master, is to proceed to Spithead from Plymouth to embark troops. The brigantine Spider, Lieut. Pym, is daily expected from Chatham, on her way to the Brazils, to serve as a packet between Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. The Malabar, 72, Captain Sir George Sartorius, is ordered immediately from Plymouth, to proceed to the South American station, and will sail about the 20th instant. The Philomel, 10, gun-brig, Commander B. J. Sullivan, will be ready to proceed to the Brazils on surveying ser vice, about the sth June. The new sloop Albatross, 16, has been commissioned at this port by Commander R. Yorke. She is 481 tons, and 105 feet long, and is a sister vessel to the Bittern. The Madagascar, 46, left Sierra Leone, for Cape Coast Castle, on the 20th January, all well. The surveying cutter Sylvia, Commander Sherring ham, is nearly ready for service. The following steamers are building at this dockyard, namely, Scourge, Centaur, and Beelzebub. It is reported in the naval circles that Rear-Admiral Charles B. Ross (who has just returned from thz. Brazils), will have the Superintendency of Portsmouth Dockyard, in July next, vice Bouverie. The Daphne, 20, Captain Milling, is gone to Stangate Creek, to complete quaratine, and thence to Chatham, to he paid off. Rear-Admiral the Hon. D. Bouverie is acting Com mander-in-Chief, in the absence of Admiral Sir. Edward Codrington, G.C.8., on temporary leave.

MONEYCHHON MICLEA.—RMKoneEyTis a s n t t , l ill in demand on the Stock Exchange, but the extreme pres sure which was experienced during a considerable part of yesterday has subsided. It is difficult to account for this s udden de rangement of the Money Market, an d various causes have been adduced. S ome p arties sa y t hat the general prospect of the coming harvest is unfavou rable, and that a c) s corn. Others say that the payments t o the Exchequer, on accoun t o f the revenue, under the new system of collection sweeps in t e o ra r b era le i p t o f r o triotnheo f pu o r u c r h fl as o e at o i request considerable nfgroreicapital has been ino. _ the markets just now for Bank notes, and keeps the dis the country are oannedy above ten district re ceivers of taxes had "a ride" of thei r collections for a which they lent c nd o ao i yt i . sn.t now houses uorsreemismebrialt Formerly e e c , it the e s o s the tuasme p thedi collectors stpr iubbul ti i co n rms g bard-street, which m th ( e 'll irtl o a r nc e e v s e , n at tl e ir a e s e y thus was always well supplie d with mo ue mroatnetsh,s,indLourinn mo ney for short loans, a source of supply no w very considerably curtailed. Others maintain that the demand has been occa sioned by an aroac hing revival of t ra d e upon the strength of the new t a riff, through remittances for the importation of foreign cattle and provisions. . These in genious prophets of corning prosperity, however, are clearly shooting 1-eyond the mark; as it is not by any means probable that the money would be remitted for such purposes until the tariff has become law. The more prevalent opinion in well-informed quarters, and that which seems most reconcileable with the circumstance's of the case, is that the scarcity of money, which so sud denly sprung up on the Stock Exchange, was occasioned by the operations of the great Insurance Companies, who were losers by the great fire at .Hamburgh. These Corporations have always a considerable amount of their assets invested at call, or on short loans, to meet emer gencies, and it is supposed that they have felt it expe dient to call up a portion of their so money i lent to remit to Hamburgh. • There have been no sales of Stock by the public to account for the enhancement of the value of money, and taking all things into Consideration, the most likely cause of this change in the Money Market is - the calling up of loans by the Insurance Companies. THE 1300 K OF THE BASTILES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I trust that you will be so courteous as to allow me space in your paper to make a kw observa tions upon the review of my "Book of the Bastiles," which appeared in The Sun of Monday evening last. There are some misrepresentations and misconcep tions in , that review, friendly as I admit it to b e , which I wish to rectify and explain; and which, if permitted, unnoticed by me, to pass current in so po pular and extensively circulated a newspaper, as I understand The Sun to be, would be calculated to de my character, and that of my work, much injustice— would give both, to use a hackneyed quotation, a " heavy blow and great discouragement." In the first place, you have made it appear to the public, that I am a very dangerous and discreditable subject, and that the principal tendency of my Anti- New-Poor-law writings is, to " Whisper low Unhallow'd vows to guilt, the child of woe," and incite the populace to vets of insurrectionary and predatory violence against the friends and favourers of the New Poor-law, and, more especially, against the Poor-law Commissioners, and Mr. Edwin Chad wick, their Secretary. Your objectionable Words are, " Here Mr. Baxter encourages young blackguards of twenty-two, or there abouts, to commit burglaries in Somerset-house, and, perhaps murder both the Poor-law Commissioners, and their poor Secretary, at one fell swoop." Really, Sir, no passage in my " Book of the Bastiles" can justify such a construction being put upon it, and certainly not the passage to which you have annexed the above scholium. If you will take the trouble to turn to page 53 of my work, you will perceive that the article from which the extract, which caused your inappro priate remark, is taken, is not addressed to the Poor law Commissioners at all ; but is entitled " What will be the End of it ? or A Few Words addressed to the British Nation, deprecating their Extreme Apathy in the Affairs of the New Poor-law Amendment Act:' And its tenour is to warn, not to threaten—not to ex cite violent feelings, but to point out, in vivid sooth saying, to the upper and middle classes, the moral, social, and national evils which will assuredly occur, if the administration of the Malthus set be continued. I dare say these words of yours, against the use of which I am now entering my protest, were printed by you without any malice prepense, and merely as a pleasant joke. it may be so; but, to use a prevalent Oxonianism, "yours non est yours ;" and I should not in the least be surprised if this said joke of yours sub jected me to legal proceedings ; anA that the Poor-law Commissioners, not contented with the cowardly and malignant manner in which they have persecuted me, ever since I commenced " eolonelling against their abominable enactment, will now add a Crown pro secution to their previous pitiful proceedings ; and, in the end (for there is little justice to be had in England in these latter days,) immure me in a gaol for libel, or sedition, or for some such ridiculous pre tence, as they will procure a ready verdict-made jury to call it. To that passage from my " Book of the Bastiles," in which I hold up my voice in indignation, " that paupers' limbs should be tied up or mannacled, if at any time, in the bastile prisons, they happened to converse with their wretched friends and relatives ; and that the bodies of paupers should, without the decent ceremonial of book, bell, and pall, be trundled into an unconsecrated hole," &c., you have united the following :—" We have always under stood that those who died in workhouses were buried according to the rites of the Church of England ; and and we never heard that manacles were used to re strain the inmates, like desperate malefactors." Now, nothing, I beg to say, could possibly be more annoying to my feelings than to be suspected of publishing unfounded charges against the New Poor law—an enactment which has supplied an over abundance of cases of barbarity, without its requiring the manufacture of artificial grievances to create ab. horrance of its cruel workings. But to substantiate the fact that those who die in union workhouses are not always buried according to the rites of the Church of England : " House of Lords, April 25th, 1842.—Earl Stan hope presented a petition from Mr. William Roberts. The petitioner stated, that lie has traced the inter ment of about 354 dissected pauper bodies, between October, 1839, and July, 1841, to have been buried in an unconsecrated ground, called Globe-fields, and that an undertaker's man has represented a Church of England clergyman by reading the established Church Burial Service over the shells interred." With regard to the manacling of paupers' limbs in the union workhouse, and to show that such treat ment has really occurred : " Amongst the cruelties exercised on the inmates of the Disney union is the silent system. It appears that husband and wife, and that children are sepa rated, and never see each other, except at meals, and then they are not allowed to speak to each other, on pain of being tied up, viz., by having one leg tied up, and being obliged to rest on the ether for half an hour."—Oxford Chronicle, Jan. 1, 1839. Here, 1 think, I have well substantiated the asser tions which I have made in the pages of the "Book of the Bastiles," that the bodies of the poor who die in the Bastiles are frequently (for I could bring forward much further proof to corroborate the statement than Mr. William Roberts has adduced) " trundled into an unconsecrated hole, like deceased dogs, cats, rats, and stots ;" and that, in many a union workhouse, as a tcrture ' the limbs of the pauper inmates have been (and still are) "tied up and manacled."—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, G. R. WYTIIEN BAXTER. llereford, May 12, 1842. [We are still sceptical respecting the mode of burial and the ropes and manacles, notwithstanding the authority quoted by Lord Stanhope and the Oxford Chronicle The author did not mention the Commissioners certainly, when he described persons as being driven to desperate deeds by the severity of the Poor• law, but Mr. Baxter 4inust know that a per son may be pointed out without his name being given.] THE INSTALLATION AT CAMBRIDGE.—We have every reason to believe that an extraordinary number of visitors, including many distinguished individuals, will honour Cambridge with their company at the Installation of the Chancellor. The preparations for the grand ball in the Fitzwilliam Museum have already been begun, and in addition to the arrangements, steps have been taken for holding a grand horticultural exhibition on Thursday, the 7th of July. The musical performances will take place as follows :—Saturday evening, July 2, a concert ; Monday evening, July 4, an oratorio ; Tues day morning, the performance of the Installation ode ; Tuesday evening, a concert ; and on Wednesday morn ing, an oratorio, " The Messiah." The oratorios will be held in Great S t. Mary's church, and the concerts in the Senate- house. The band and chorus will consist of up wards of 140 performers, including the elite of the Phil harmonic and Opera bands. Engagements will be offered to the most eminent vocalists.—Cambridge Chronicle. Last week a woman named Leger, residing at Pont-Saint-Martin, near Nantes, was left alone with her 1 grand-daughter, a little girl three years old, her son-in law and daughter having gone to the fair of Villeneuve, when some malefactors entered and pierced the unfor tunate woman with nineteen blows of a knife, and the unfortunate child with twelve. They then robbed the house of 4,000 f. and departed. Their twe victims are since dead. Active search has been instituted to discover the perpetrators, but without effect. On Sunday last, the tower of the Church of Epoye, ' near Rheims, was struck by lightning. The electric fluid descended into the body of the church, where a eon "-regation was at vespers, affected four or five persons lightly, and escaped without doing . any further damages. HosTmE MnETING.—A 'hostile meeting took place at Marsden. near Smith Shields, on Saturday, at noon, between Mr. Richard Spoor,•of Whitburn, - one Of the Sunderland borough 'magistrates, and Mr. Joseph .Tohn Wright, of Sunderland, solicitor. It is understood the point of difference arose out of Mr. Wright's allusions to Mr. Spoor, in a letter iiddressed by Mr. Wright to the Marquis of Londonderry, and which was read by that N obleman in the House of Lords on Monday evening last, and the parties exchanged shots without effect, when the seconds interposed ; an explanation took place; the parties shook hands, and left the ground with their friends. Mr. Spoor was attended by Mr. Crawford, son of the late M.P. for London, and Mr. Wright by Dr. Miller. This occurrence has caused a great sensation in Sunderland and the neighbourhood. The Carlsruhe Gazette of the 13th states, that ac cording to letters from Buchorest, dated the 24th ult., the opposition against Prince Ghika was becoming every day more violent ; it was feared that he would experience the fate of Prince Milosch. The Russian State Coun cillor Tschefflin was expected at Belgrade, whence he would proceed to Buchorest. DEATH OCCASIONED BY EPSOM SALTS.—An in quest was held at Sawtrey on the body of Daniel Cox, a labourer, who died on Wednesday night. It appeared that the deceased was drinking at a public-house on Tuesday, and was rather intoxicated, when some persons in the room put a quantity of Epsom salts in his beer, which acted so violently upon a constitution enfeebled by habitual drunkenness, as to occasion death on the following night. The Jury returned a verdict of " Man slaughter against Thomaa, Staynton, William Ashbridge, Mary Scotney, and William Newton," the foolish per sons who administered the salts. The three former were held to bail to answer the charge, and the latter bad not been taken into custody.—Stockport Advertiser. The Seguisian Mercury, of St. Etienne, says, it has been assur e d that l a rge orders for muskets have been received by the manufacturers of that town from the East India Company. This is, however, exceed ingly improbable. With so many bands unemployed at Birmingham and elsewhere, the East India Company needs not either as regards cheapness, expedition, or good workmanship, send their orders out of the country. A letter from Athens, of the 27th ult., states that the shocks of earthquake, which were felt there on the 18th, were experienced also in various parts of Greece, in some of which the effects were serious. At Kalamata all the houses were more or less injured ; at Androusa some churches were thrown down ; and in some villages of the province of Maina many peasants were killed by the falling of their houses. Another shock of earth quake was felt at Patras on the 25th, but it was not pro ductive of any serious in jury. THE BOA CONSTRICTOR. The conjecture concerning the extraordinary appear ance of the boa constrictor, lately killed in the wood at Wellgrove. turns out to be correct, the snake having on the mght previously to its destruction made its escape ~;!°., from a travelling collection of wild beasts, &c.,- which , had been exhibiting at Canfield,' upwards of t wo m il es ' ) from the spot where the reptile was killed. On Tuesd a y J` the owner of the exhibition made 'his appearance at - ' Wellgrove, and was somewhatindignint at the slaughter - of his protege, for which he said he would not have taken, 20 guineas. lie claimed the skin of the defunct snake, which was of course given up to him. It appears that the snake, in its gambols, had forced out a part of the partition of its cage, and then crawled into an adjoining cage, which being empty the door had been left un fastened. From thence it made its way to the open space in the caravan, and effected its escape through an open window. The owner of the exhibition declares that there is no doubt but the reptile made an attempt to seize the lamb, as mentioned in a former account, having been near its usual feeding time, and its gastronomical powers were such that it has been known to gorge dogs of con siderably larger dimensions than is usual with lambs at this season of the year, after having crushed the animals within its deathly folds, and duly prepared them for the process. The following rather laughable incident. con nected with the appearance of the snake, will show that the rambles of the reptile had not been altogether un observed by another individual, a farmer of the neigh bourhood, somewhat notorious for his devotion to the " jolly god," who, having been spending the best part of the night with some kindred devotees, happened to hi., wending his way homeward shortly after daybrea or; dirk-looking the Monday, when, in passing along a lane skir•:,,, the " fells," he was startled by observing a object wavin g t o an d f ro , o p en mouthe",, amongst the bushes of a h e d ge by t h e roa d side. The sight of thi s singular object, it appears, partly iv:ought the farmer to mucha pp a r his senses, forii he exclaiming, rushed e t C - ) 1 t t i . . h Y e t i i gratification agt he'dr eat b an d r o l of his intoll ds his dwellig, cara spew, vulgo, " old wortm e ,” if he did na gie up the cursed ticker altogether, for that he had seen the devil in the shape of a fiery sarpent wiggling waggling his head at hi m most awful:" - ' BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, MAY 15.—A letter from Ostend says— " From the 17th of this month a steam-boat, belonging to the Antwerp Company will leave Ostend every Tues day for 'London, and, vice versa. The steamer to be employed on this line is the Bruges, which will tette pas sengers, &c. , on the same terms as the General Steam Navigation Company. " This latter Company has, however, given notice that the passage-money on board its vessels, which will leave this i p n or g t e was t i .o te r ra i l mn fit. at 1/. fo s . i n th e fi rs t ca bi n an d or. the 17th 4)f this month, which 1/. ss. in the seci?..td, is reduced to 3,. in the first and to 4s. in the secoo cabin. BRUSSELS, :MA v 12.—The AugsZurg Gazette says, that Count Velaiu has been appointed Envoy for Belgium to the German Confederation, but this mws requires con firmation. M. Kindt, who has hitherto attended the commercial negotiations with the French Governtnent for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce, has returned from Paris without having obtained any result. The appeal of General Vandermeers, and the other persons condemned to death for the conspiracy, comes before the Court of Cassation this morning. On the applica tion of • their counsel it was adjourned for three weeks, because he had not had sufficient time to make himself acquainted with the voluminous papers relating to the affair.

Tiic lloatANci: or LirE.—Some short time ago, in one of the villages on the Firth of Forth, lived a lady whose husband had long before gone to sea, and never having heard from him for some years, she believed him to have been dead. At the time her husband went to sea, Mrs. S. lived in a town in England ; but, aster giving up hopes of his return, she removed, with her only daughter, to her native country, Scotland. in the vourse of years a probationer of the Church of Scotland came to officiate as a missionary in the parish, and formed an attachment for Miss S. Seeing no immediate prospect of obtaining a church. at home, he resolved on trans ferring himself to one of our American colonies, - and re ceived an appointment there from a colonial Missionary Society. Having been united to Miss S., he took his departure, leaving his wife and mother-in-law to folloW as soon as he should have prepared for their comfortable reception. They accordingly left this country some time afterwards for ,America. In the meantime, among the settlers over whom the young divine's charge extended, was a comfortable farmer, also named S., who made in quiries after the history of the minister's wife and mother, and :pressed an anxious desire to see them on their arrival. They did arrive safe, and on reaching the minister's habitation, Mr. S. was sent for to be intro duced. Judge of the surprise of all, when, on the entry Of Mr. S., th.e newly-arrived females found in him the long-lost husband and father ! Having been unable to trace his family in England, after a protracted absence, he had returned to America, where, by a singular coin cidence, both he and they found those they had given up as lost. -The parties, we are glad to say, are now living comfortably and happily in the New World.—Edinburgh. l'aper. STEAM NAVIGATION. A beautiful new frost steamer, called the Eagle, will leave the Thames in a day or two for Marseilles, destined to navigate the Rhone. She is built by Messrs. Ditchbarn and Mac 4 and reflects great credit upon that respectable firm. Her measurement is about 280 tons ; length 185 feet. She is fitted with a pair of very superior engines of 110-horse power, made by the eminent house of Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., of Blackwall. Notwithstanding Ler size, and the power of her machinery, her draught of water is only one foot ten inches. This is an important point, as re-- spects the navigatioa of the Rhone, which is not only a very rapid river, but is in many places not more than three feet deep. To Mr. Miller belongs the merit of having first overcome so lOrmidable an obstacle to the navigation Rhine by steam, and the engines in question are the - , sth pair thr.lhis 'house have made fir that purpose. In t,rder to put her exquisite machinery to the test of trial, and prove its capability for the long and rather difficult voyage she about to venture upon, by the Bay of Biscay, the Straits of Gibraltar, and the 'Mediterranean, to Marseilles, the Eagle made an experimental trip down the river on Tuesday, with a numerous party on. board, including Sweral scientific and nautical,men, who expressed,their warm admiration of her performance in every respect. During. the excursion the company, which also included several ladies, sat down in the splen-. did cabin toll, very elegant collation, furnished by the spirited engineers, and spent a most convivial after se on. The responsible duty of taking the Eagle to her desti nation has been confided to Captain Farmer, sea., whose high reputation as an able; experienced; and careful steam-commander, affords a stare guarantee for her safe conveyance, even through sons with the storminess - of which she was never destg , ,ied to combat. Great difficulty is oPien experienced in calculating the number of stamps I,ehich should be placed on heavy letters. The best way to do this is to ascertain the highest number of ounces aletter exceeds, and then dou ble the next higher figure above that number, which will give the number of pence which is charged for the pre. paid postage of that letter. Thus a letter weighing above four ounces, and under five ounces ; by doubling the five it gives the e:orreet amount of postage, 10d, Which is chargeable ort such a letter. The postage o n letters not weighing more than a half-ounce is t ile . penny ; not weighing more than an ounce, 2d. The postage on letters above an ounce advances 2 d. infurith inetical progression. Ivo s um is charged fo r p ostage sr five, sev en , or nine— penny is cApressed by an odd number above ld. Thus there i; s &c.,u s p u o c s h t postagepostage, i m as any three,upose.
