An adjourned meeting of the Union Bank of England and France was held to-day, for the pur pose of confirming the proposed articles of associa ton, Mr. C. B. Colchester in the chair. The chairman moved that the marginal articles of the association only be read, upon which a discussion as to the propriety of reading the rules, which formed a bulky volume, took place. ,The motion Was, however, carried. The debate upon the seve ral clauses was proceeding when this report left. The second adjourned meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Janvrin, Grassee, and De Lisle, was held to-day at the office of the accountants, Messrs. Coleman, Young, and Co. After a lengthy dis nussion, it was resolved that the estate be wound up in bankruptcy, in consequence of the difficulties any other mode of administration would present. The English Stock Market has presented a very quiet appearance, and a heavy tone has prevailed. Consols for money are 9 2 k 1-, and for the account 94 I.

Consols, Money Ditto Account The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per milli pm., and t he short exchange on London is 25.22} per £1 sterling. On c omparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 I7s. low. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is 41 about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By adyices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424} per nark, and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Hirt price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 188 per cent., and the premium on kohl is 72 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. CRIME IN FRANCE. The Court of Assizes of Aix (Bouches-dn-Rhone) has just been engaged in the trial of six men named Gerard, Jean, Stematis Lewtakis, Gascoing, Treguier, and Crodo- Poulis, ou a charge of armed mutiny at sea. The pri soners formed part of the crew of the French merchant vessel the Union of Ro.,coff, Captain Guillibert, which sailed from Marseilles for Sierra Leone. The mutiny took Place on the coast of Africa, about eighty leagues from the Bissagos Islands. The mutineers confined the cap tain and the mate in their cabins, but by so doing de prived themselves of the power of getting provisions which Were there locked up, and after remaining for thirty six hours without food, they took to the boat, and landed on the island where they were plundered by the natives, and then taken to Goree. The captain had arrived there some days before, and on his report they were ar rested and put in prison, and afterwards sent to France for trial. The prisoners in defence of their conduct said that they had been driven to it by the cruel treatment of the captain. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, but with extenuating circumstances against Gascoing, who was con demned to 18 months' imprisonment, and against Treguier and Crodopoulos. who were sentenced to 12 months. The other three were acquitted. A tragical event has just occurred at Desport (Herault). Two masons named Favier and Castel, brothers• in-law, between whom some cause of irritation existed, met while Out shooting water-fowl. After some altercation the men fired at each other, when Castel was so severely wounded that he died the same day ; Favier, who was also wounded, but less severely, has been arrested. An attempt at murder was made three days back at the prison at /ismes (Gard), by a man named Thou:te lt; upon a fellow-prisoner named Boyer, against whom he enter' ained bitter feelings of hatred. The weapon used was a knife, the blade of which broke at the third blow. Boyer Was wounded in tha arm only. [he assailant was imme diately seized and placed in close confinement. HEALTH OF H.R H PRINCE ALFRED —A tele gram received yesterday says :—His Royal Highness Prince Alfred is now quite convalescent. He is permitted to take free out door exercise and his usual meals. The disease has entirely disappeared. The steam-frigate Cacique arrived at Toulon, t hree days back, from Alexandria with 150 persons from China and Cochin-China, by way of Suez. The passengers are generally convalescents, or men who have obtained their discharge. A fire broke out three days ago on board the horse-transport Var, now in course of construction in the yard of M. Arman, at Bordeaux, and caused considerable d amage before it could he ex'inguished. The essager of Bayonne of the 7th states that several whales having been seen in the Gulf on the pre vious day, attracted great numbers of people to the heights of Atalaye, near Biarritz. to witness the gambols of these northern. visitors. A bill which had been presented to the Legisla tive Body for dividing among all the charitable establish ments the expenses of children who have been deserted, has been withdrawn. By order of the Prefect of the Seine, the bridges °f Issy and Billancourt will be open to the public from this day, A fire broke out in the night of the sth in the large village of ➢lattrei, near Innspruck, by which twenty one houses and two churches were destroyed.

All the chief metropolitan theatres being opened by Royal command, and free to the public, the loyal lieges took advantage of the gracious invita- tion and filled the various theatres. There was not any special performances for the occasion as regards the dramas themselves, the pieces now running being performed. Epithalmia and odes, however, were recited at some of the theatres. Drury-lane contented itself with adding a third verse to Mr. Brinley Richards's " God bless the Prince of Wales," which Mr. Haigh sang so as to ensure an encore. The house was well fiiled, and the audience were highly appreciative of the effects in the spectacle of " Bonnie Dundee." At the Lyceum an elaborate scene was produced, in which Miss Elsworthy, as Britannia, recited an ode commemorative of the Royal wedding, and a chorale composed by the Prince Consort, and sung in St. George's Chapel during the marriage service, was reproduced by a very sweet choir. To this succeeded a very cleverly contrived tableaa, which, after giving an illuminated view of St. George's Chapel and Windsor Castle, dissolved into allegorical representations, in which the portraits of the Prince and Princess were surrounded by Bri tannia and Fame, and many other symbolical figures. This scene was capitally managed and was ex tremely effective, the curtain going down to " God save the Queen," of which the audience tank up the refrain and expressed their loyalty most lustily. At the Adelphi Miss Avonia Jones recited a very lengthy epithalamium, written by the author of " Whitefriars . " This seemed to please, though some of the allusions were extremely classic, and of course rather removed from the comprehension of a holi day audience. Still Miss Jones's very impressive manner produced a corresponding effect. The usual performances, in which Mr. Toole fig ure d , were of c ourse greatly admired. Th e Olympic Theatre contented itself with the usual performances, a nd the y were found highly satisfactory. The Princess's was well attended, and there, ton, a special epithlam ium was given. The H a yma r ket delighted the pure British public with the inimitable Lord Dundreary, and never were his eccentricities more enjoyed. The theatres were all of them well filled, but not one of them were inconveniently crowded, though evidently with audiences not much in the habit of visiting ouch pl aces , ye t th e d eco rum observed was unimpeachabl e , an d i t was remar k e d by the officers of the vario us theatres that se they tt o Apel play e y t highly ol . they did credit to our nat i ona l manners as h a ve the mil.ions who have b een out i n the streets f or this four days. No signs of int emperance, an d no t ev en the least roughness of man ner was In fact, and a d el i g h t f u l observable in the many theatres into which we looked , but all was rational and pleasant enjryment. We may also congratulate the various managers, who seem to have made their arrangements with great skill and success. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock' SECOND READINGS, The foll3wing bills were read a second time : Athenry Ennis Junction Railway (Extension of time) ; Manchester and Milford Railway; Southampton and Netley Railway; Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne Railways. TUNBRIDGE-WELLS AND EASTBORNE RAIL- WAY BILL. The order for the second reading was discharged. AFFILIATION BILL. Sir J. TRELAWNY moved the second reading of this (LEFT SITTING.) LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE SUPERIOR COURTS AND DISTRICT COURT-IMPORTANT QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.-JENKINS V. DOUGHTY. This was an action to recover £7 Ils,, and strangely exemplified the fallacy of all that old womanish twaddle which has partly given rise to Mr. Bouverie's projected Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, said—My client seeks to recover £7 11s. for money lent. £2 of this money was lent in Birmingham, and the remainder in the City of London. His lionour—How have we got jurisdiction over Bir mingham ? Mr. Buchanan-•-Part of the cause of action arose in the City. His Honour—The money lent at Birmingham was a separate cause of action. Mr. Buchanan—Well, then, you have seen that we may not split our demand, but I think I can get over the diffi culty. Now, Mr. Jenkins, have you seen defendant in London since the whole amount was due ? Plaintiff—Yes ; and he has promised to pay. His Honour—Well, there is an account stated, and per haps you will go on with that. Mr, Buchanan—Certainly. His Honour—l have jurisdicti n under an account ated. Verdict for plaintiff with full costs. Had the plaintiff brought his action in the super:or court, a point of law of this kind could have arisen, and, as may be seen, he was very nearly now being nonsuited upon a question of jurisdiction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PICKING POCKETS, ASSAULTS, &C., AT THE ILLUMI NATIONS. —Henry Roff, plumber, 2, Westbourne-park, was charged with assaulting King, 247 G, Halout, 136 C, and Butcher, 109 B, and Henry Haden was charged with attempting to rescue Roff and assaulting Prescot, 237 G. The defendant Rod was making a great noise and distur bance in Piccadilly, and was requested to go away by King, when he struck him on the breast a violent blow, and got a large crowd round the officer, and it took seven or eight constables to take him to the station. On the way there Roff behaved with the greatest violence, and kicked Halout and Butcher in the most violent manner, rendering the latter incapable of doing duty. The defendant Haden at tempted to get Roff away from the constables by pushing persons on them, and on Prescott taking him into custody he struck him a violent blow. _ Roff said he was tipsy, and Haden that he was sorry. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that, instead of assaulting the police, it was the duty of every one to assist them, for they were only carrying out the regulations intended for the comfort of everybody. Roff was fined 10s. in two cases, and 208. in a third, or 40 days' imprisonment in default ; and Haden was fined 205., or 14 days. James Till, of 28, Queen-street, Pimlico, was fined 10s for assaulting Waterson, 144 C, in the Haymarket. Charles Thurston, of 91, Kensington -gardens , square, coachman, was fined 205., or 14 days, for assaulting Ser geant Stevens, 236 A. George Clark and George Harris were charged with attempting to pick pockets in Regent-street. Barrett, 16 L, having given evidence, prisoners were re manded for a week. William Griffiths was charged by 163 B with loitering in Pall-mall, for the purpose of committing a felony. 163 B and 288 B haying given evidence, prisoner was remanded. David Hearn was next charged with picking the pocket of a lady in Regent-street. Harris, 304 A, proved seeing the prisoner try several ladies' pockets, and on taking him into custody he dropped a portemonnaie. Remanded. Ernest Marshall and Thomas Marshall, of Whitechapel, cheosemongers, were charged by O'Brien, 363 S, one of the mounted police, one with letting off fireworks among a line of carriages, and the other with attempting to rescue his brother. .14 .16 .20 .28 .30 ..29 ..26 Mr. Tyrwhitt, thinking the detention the defendants had undergone sufficient, discharged them. DEMOLISHING THE ILLUMINATION LAMPS AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE.—John H. Simpson, of 34, Fore street, Cripplegate, medical student, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with tieing drunk and disorderly, and destroying a number of illumination lamps at the Haymarket theatre, the property of Mr. Buckstoue, the lessee. The defendant was seen by a constable to go up to the lamps and make several blows at them with his stick, breaking a number of them. A person in the employ of Mr. Buckstone proved the amount of the damage to be at least 15s. Mr. Thrwhitt ordered the defendant to pay the damage, and a fine of 2s. 6d., or 14 days' imprisonment in default. WESTMINSTE tt. DISGRACEFUL AND UNFEELING PROCEEDING.—A very respectable-looking young woman came to the court, and solicited the magistrate to assist her under the follow ing circumstances : Applicant said that she wished the magistrate to afford her an opportunity of seeing her husband, who was lying dead at his lodgings. She considered she was entitled to do so, but was not permitted. Mr. Arnold asked when he died ? Applicant replied that he died yesterday, he had gone out on the previous day for a walk, and returning unwell did not survive long. Mr. Arnold inquired of whom applicant complined. Applicant replied the landlady of the house where her husband lodged, Mr, Arnold— You were not living with him, I suppose. Applicant—No, I was not, I was in service when intelli gence was brought me of his death. I have engaged an undertaker to bury him, and I think it m ost extraordinary that I should not be permitted to go to the room he rented, I am his lawful wife. Mr. Arnold—lt seems to be very cruel and unjust that you should be denied the right, but it is a matter in which I cannot help you. V hat do you suppose is the reason for the landlady refusing to admit you ? Applicant—The only reason I can assign is that she must want to posses* herself of my husband's property, to which lam entitled. He had not much, but what he had she has no claim to. Mr. Arnold—You must take out letters of administra tion to entitle you to take possession of his effects. The landlady's conduct is very heartless, but I cannot compel her to admit you to the house. Applicant retired much dejected. The Official Gazette of Turin contains a decree authorising the Cavour Canal Company to contract a loan of a million sterling, to be reimbursed at par in seven years. The Giornale di Napoli announces that the mail was attacked a few days ago by some armed peasants, and robbed of 800 ducats. The Monitore Cattolico and Difensore Cattolico, two Bourbonist journals of Naples, were seized at Naples on the Ist. -- - The Austrian journals announce the creation at Vienna of a central statistical committee. The Govern ment organ has commenced a series of artioles upon the origin and importance of the institution. The Nemorial de Lille has the following : " A sudden change of fortune from an incident which has all the appearance of a romance, has just oc curred to a cotton spinner at Roubaix. This man, aged 29, who was in the employment of M. l)eareusseaux of the above town, being about to marry a young workman of the same establishment, had sent to Brussels for a certificate of birth, having been brought up at the Foundling-hospital of that city. Instead of the certificate asked for, the young man received a notice to call on the burgomaster of Brussels on important business, and on doing so was surprised to learn that he was the son of a Russian Prince and a young lady belonging to the Belgian aristocracy, and that a pro perty of from eight to ten millions of francs awaited him," The Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna states that two persons concerned in the robbery of jewels and papers of the value of 24,000 florins, which was committed in May last at the residence of the Prince de Schwarzem berg at Vienna, have just been discovered. All the objects stolen, with the exception of about 8,000 florins worth, have been found in their possession. A Paris journal announces an important innova tion in the postal service ; tho Government, they say, is about to present to the Legislative Body a bill to admit letters being received at the Post-office after the usual hour of closing. A double, triple, or quadruple rate is to be charged according to the time at which the letters are pre seated, --- • The different corps intended to form the Camp of Chalons this year have just received orders to send beforehand detachments of gardener-soldiers to sow with vegetables, at the right season, the gardens destined for each regiment, so as to produce a ll t h at may b e r equired for the troops during their stay. The ground, which has been already cleared and prepared by th e t roo p s who re mained in the camp during the winter, is in the most favourable condition. The Metropolis and the Illuminatio: London last night was bright and glorious with myriads of lights—its streets alive at midnight with the roar of count less multitudes. There was something almost overwhelm ing in the endless lines of light, and in the wonderful pro cession of the people. The whole of the population seemed to be in the streets. At times the main thoroughfares were almost impassable. The carriages could not stir—even the foot-passengers could not advance. Assuredly one of the grandest features of the night was the marvellously good behaviour of the people, who were to a great extent their own police. At times, indeed, a band of roughs—but even the roughs wore rosettes I—pushed its way through the dense throng by a rather rude and sudden charge ; but even these were good humoured. Those who had chosen to survey the illuminations from carriages seemed in many instances to repent of their choice. Occasionally an empty vehicle appeared to indicate that its former occupants, utterly tired of the delays which so fre quently occurred, had fairly given up the attempt in despair, and joined the ranks of the pedestrians, • The Victoria Tower —This majestic tower would appear naturally to present itself as an object for display upon such occasions as that of last night, when for the first time an attempt was made to illuminate it. Its great height and massive proportions rendered it a matter of difficulty to decide upon the particular mode of lighting which would best render it an object of attr ction among the numerous brilliant spectacles presented in the metropo lis. The Board of Works made en experiment of lighting the summit of the tower by means of lampions, or, as they would be called in this country, "grease pots"—large vessels filled with tallow, each Tampion having two wicks of more than an inch in . diameter. These were ranged in four rows, gradually rising, upon the roof of the tower, and at the foot of the central turret, others being placed in the smaller turrets spring ing from each corner of the tower. The thick atmosphere of last evening did not afford the best opportunity of judg ing of the effects of this mode of illumination, but under any circumstances the experiment of last night could hardly have been a great success. As it was, for a brief space the result was striking, the beautiful tracery of the numerous openings and the gorgeous gilding lavished upon the various turrets being brought out in a most effective manner by the ruddy glare cast upon them by the 800 or 900 lights employed, while the deep shadow in which the main shaft of the tower was left presented at a dis tance the appearance of a gorgeous pavilion suspended in mid-air. But last night, after a brief interval, the rain ma terially interfered with the experiment, the lights being gra dually extinguished or deadened until there remained but little beyond a dull glare, which was not visible beyond a very limited distance from Palace-yard. The illuminations at the Government offices and other public buildings were, of course, amongst the chief features of the night. Somerset-house, the War.•office, the Treasury, the Ordnance-office, all had their appropriate devices. At St. Paul's Cathedral, in addition tothe electric light, there were a host of powerful lanterns, such as those which are now used in the Royal navy. Round the base of the dome hung 24 bow lanterns (red), and 24 mast lanterns (white), whilst higher up there were 16 others, similarly varied in their colour. These lanterns were placed in their position by sailors told off for the purpose. Abundant pains had un doubtedly been taken to make the display as effective as possible, but the effect obtained was perhaps scarcely so satisfactory as might have been desired. The Monument was illuminated by the electric light, and the lamp employed was the one used by Professor Holmes at the International Exhibition. Four hundred and twenty nitric acid batteries were employed, and it was calculated that in a clear night the light would be visible at a distance of 30 miles. Much of its effect, of course, was injured by the unpropitious weather of last night; but the sight was still a very striking one, as was that cf a somewhat similar display upon the summit of the Duke of York's Column. The National Gal lei y derived an unaccustomed beauty from the lines of light, which, glittering from its awkward outlines, seemed for once to make them beautiful. In fact, the scene in Trafalgar square was one of the grandest imaginable. Its vast area was filled with spectators, same of whom marohed off to wards Pall-mall to witness the illuminations of the clubs, whilst others turned down towards Westminster, where an equally brilliant display awaited them. It was well worth while to turn aside from these various throngs and to walk into St. James's-park. Even here:there was a large assemblage of people; but it was as nothing to the hosts in the neighbour ing streets. Many men,not unused to crowds,gave up the at tempt to make their way through the dense masses that swarmed around them. In the park a sight could be seen which was not one to be missed. In other parts of London, only particular portions—or sections so to speak—of the illuminations were visible ; but from the Park the mighty glare of the whole city could be seen, lighting up the sky with a redness that seem td that of some mightly conflagra tion. Instinctively the mind recurred to those days—they were only 80 years ago—when some such lurid glare in the sky warned people in the country that London was in flames, kindled by the torches of a maddened and infu riated mob; and the whole of the difference between that time and this—the whole of the mighty progress that had been made—was forcibly suggested by the sight. It is needless to say that all the West-end tradesmen did their best to add to the general effect of the display. Perhaps Temple-bar looked as well as almost any one of the chief points, the graceful decorations which have lately almost entirely changed its aspect being crown to the best advantage by the brilliant light from Fleet-street and the Strand. The traveller who, after an inspection of the illuminations of the West, had still sufficient courage, or strength, or time, to journey Eastwards, would have found his journey well rewarded. At the Custom House there was a large star with the is oyal initials ; the Trinity House, the Mint, St, Ketharine's Docks, were all brilliantl) illuminated. The exterior of the theatres—within whose walls the ap• plause of crowded audiences testified how heartily the privilege of free admission was appreciated—presented a most brilliant appearance. At Drury Lane there was a large crown, with jewels complete, Prince of Wales's feathers, two imperial stars, with the usual initials, and gas jets through the portico. There was a large star at Co vent-garden, and at Her Majesty's there was an imperial crown, with wreaths of laurel. At the Lyceum, Mr. Fechter exhibited a crystal plume of feathers of great size, and two central stars, the arms of Denmark being in the centre of one of these, and those of England in the other. Mr. Buokstone's display at the Haymarket was more elaborate. A transparency, representing the army and navy of England welcoming the Princess, was en the pedi ment, at each corner of which, as well as in the centre, tripods were burning, with a complimentary inscription be low. On each side were two large stars, with the initials of the Prince and Princess, and the six columns in front of the theatre were decorated with coloured lamps. At the Adelphi Mr. Webster provided a transparency of the happy pair, with the Prince of Wales's feathers, the letters A. A. surrounded by laurel, and a large star above all. The Olympic had a transparency with portraits, surmounted by the Prince of Wales's feathers and the motto, " May peace and happiness ever be theirs." At the Theatre Royal, Westminster, Mr. Bouicicault displayed to the inhabitants of Lambeth the initials A. D. on a blue ground, the feather, and two wreaths enclosing medallion portraits of the Princ( and Princess. The Surrey showed a sunflower in crystal glass with four initials P. W. and A. A., with crown and wreath. The Strand had a large star; and the St. James's a transparency. The display at the clubs was equally brilliant. At the Carlton there were flambeaux along the front of the build ing, with wreaths of laurel, colossal Prince of Wales's plumes, a coronet and motto ; whilst the Reform had a blaze of light from numberless gas jets and tripod lamps. At the Junior United Service there was a special de vice of rose, thistle, and shamrock, intertwined into a large medallion, surmounted by a Royal crown over the centre window in Waterloo place, with the princely plumes below; whilst in Charles-street appeared the letters A. A., with a central radiating star, and there were rows of gas jets around the cornices of the building. At the United Service in Pall-mall there were four_crystal devices, all with different mottoes. The Athenaeum had two large wreaths of laurels, and encircling the initials P. W.; and the Naval and Military displayed a new style of crystal star, with a central plume jewelled. At the Union there were two laurel wreaths, with A. E. A under a radiating star ; whilst the Conservative had a plume, crown, and motto, with laurels, amidst which the rose, thistle, and shamrock were displayed. The Army and Navy had a plume surmounting a shield, encircled with laurel, the words "Army and Navy Club," and beneath its motto, " TJnitate fortior.'' The Travellers' showed tripod lamps and a similar display to that of the Reform Club ; and the Guards' had a pair of very large laurel wreaths, a large Prince of Wales's feathers, stars, and the initials A. E. and A. L., all terminated by a true lover's knot in gas. The East India Army and Navy, in St. James's-square, had the plume and motto " Ich dien," the initials, and two st ars. Brookes's had the initials A.E.A., and a star in gas ; and at Arthur's all the columns in front of the building were ornamented with scrolls of gas jets surmounted by the plume. The Volunteers' showed the Prince of Wales's plume and wreaths of laurel, with two large stars ; and the Wyndham also had the Prince's plume and A.E.A. in gas. The Mansfield Club, 18, Harley street, a large gas star, &c. The Conservative Land So ciety, Norfolk •street, Strand, the Prince of Wales' plume in brilliant gas jets:with motto, " Ich Dien," in large letters, the whole of colossal size. Messrs. Day and Sons' great funding, three rows of gas jets along the cornice, sur mounted by a twelve-foot gas star, Frederick May, her Majesty's newsman, Prince of Wales' feathers and motto in centre, connected on each side by festoons and two Brunswick stars, and at the base a chain of festoons; the whole in variegated lamps. Rejoicings in the Country. EDINBURGH, Tuesday.—The Royal wedding was cele brated here with unparalleled magnificence, In the morn ing there was a review of 2,500 military and volunteers. In the afternoon a banquet attended by 800 gentlemen. and a popular demonstration of loyalty attended by three or four thousand persons. From 7to 11 o'clock there was a grand illumination of the wide valley between the old and new town, from the Castle to the Calton-hill, as also in the prin cipal streets. There was a great bonfire on Arthur's Seat, and fireworks from Salisbury-crags. The dazzing spectacle was witnessed with immense delight and in perfect order by several hundred thousand spectators. The weather was cold, with a slight snowfall. ABERDEEN.--A volunteer display and a banquet was held. In the evening fireworks were let off, and the pub lic offices and many private houses illuminated. BATIT.—The Abbey was illuminated by means of the lime-light, and there was a Chinese lantern procession in the evening. BELFAST.—This town was brilliantly illuminated. BIRMINGHAM.--The town was brilliantly illuminated. Every house in the principal streets were lit up. A most gorgeous effect was produced by the lighting of the tower, dome, and facade of St. Philip's Church, the ball at the top of which was surmounted by a gross of coloured glass, which was illuminated, and was seen for miles round. BRADFORD.—For the celebration of the Royal marriage yesterday 10 triumphal arches, mostly haying transparen cies, were raised in the town, and there was a tasteful arch at one of the entrances to the Bradford Peel-park. The Mayor planted two trees in the park, eno an oak and the other an el , n, in honour of the Royal nuptials. The first is henceforth to be called the Albert Edward Oak, and the other the Alexandra Elm. A debt of £5OO which rernaintd upon the park was extinguished by voluut.try subscriptions given on the spot. ATHAM.—AII the ships in harbour were decorated with flags from stem to stern. At dusk a torchlight pro cession, headed by the High Constable and the town authorities, preceded by the Royal Marine band, peram bulated the town. The front of the dockyard, the entrance to the Royal Marine barracks, and other public buildings, were brilliantly illuminated. CRYSTAL PALACE.--The festivities commenced at two o'clock by a royal salute of 21 guns fired from the grand terrace. This was followed by a display of the fountains and cascades. The National Anthems of Denmark and Great Britain were sung in full chorus by the visitors. A little before seven the upper series of fountains was dis played under the illumination of coloured fires, which pro duced a most brilliant effect. There were 33,411 visitors. DUBLIN.—The fireworks from Wellington monument in the Park began at 10 p,rn., and tinged the sky for miles with the deepest crimson, while the acclamations of thou sands rent the air. The men-of-war at Kingstown engaged in a sham fight. The eelebration in the provinces has been equally successful. GREENWICH.—The inmates of the Union numbering:be- tween 900 and 1,000, were regaled with roast beef and plum pudding, with porter for the adults and nuts and oranges for the juveniles, in honour of the event. The illumina tions were very general, the four entrance gates of Greenwich Hospital being magnificently lighted. LivEnrooL.—The day was entirely devoted to fes tivities. The streets were decorated with flags and de vices, and were scarcely passable. Wedding favours were almost universally worn, even by the poorest. All the vehicles were decorated. The illuminations were general. The Mayor gave a ball to 3,000 people; there was also a ball at St. George's-hall, and similar festivities in other parts of the town. Her Majesty's ships were all gaily decorated, as well as the merchant shipping. The Ma jestic fired salutes and was illuminated. MANOHESTER.—The illuminations were numerous and splendid, a special feature being the large number of private houses which had devices and illuminations. A bonfire was lit on Kirsal Moor. PORTSMOUTH.—The main thoroughfares of Portsmouth, Porteea, Southsea, and Gosport were draped with flags, and triumphal arches and monstrous garlands spanned the streets. At 10 o'clock the fog cleared away, disclosing the fleet anchored at Spithead in one long line from east to west, dressed with a line of flags from water's edge, the name of the ship being exhibited by her three alphabetical flags. In addition, huge standards, national ensigns, and garlands were fixed at each royal masthead, the Revenge, flagship of Rear• Admiral R. Smart, K.H., being conspicuous above all others by a monster garland on her main royal truck. At 8 p.m. a rocket discharged from the Revenge, flagship at Spithead, gave the signal to the fleet under Admiral Smart's command, and was immediately succeeded by a Royal salute of 21 guns from each ship, blue lights being burnt from each yard arm and yards manned. The salute concluded, a display of fireworks took place ; 10-inch shells and flights of rockets were discharged and burst with won derful brilliancy, bringing out clearly the outlines of the fleet at anchor. Ryde displayed a long line of bonfires along the esplanade, while the Portsmouth line of sea beach opposite the anchorage of the fleet at Spithead was a line of fire. The streets were one blaze of illuminations, , and the dome of St. Thomas's Church was splendidly lighted up with blue lights and coloured fires. The cele bration of the day has been at Portsmouth throughout a success. The above are only a few of the principal towns in which rejoicings took place. To give even an outline of the whole that celebrated the occasion woull be impossible. THE AFFAIRS OF GREECE. The following circular has been addressed to the diplomatic agents of Greece by M. Mavrocor dato, the new Minister of Foreign Affairs:— ATHENS, Feb. 27. Malevolence, for the purpose of alarming public opinion :n Greece, and of compromising the tranquillity of the State, has perfidiously spread a report that men, always ready to sell themselves to the first corner, and to serve the worst cause, were concocting in the dark against the honour and safety of the country odious plena, which are said to have for object the restoration of the Bavarian dynasty, which the nation and the Assembly of its representatives have solemnly and for ever excluded from the succession to the throne of Greece, declared vacant by decree of the National Assembly. Although such an attempt would be as senseless as impossible before the patriotism of the Greeks, the Pro visional Government nevertheless watches these men with a vigilant eye, and will defeat, with firmness and resolution, their culpable proceedings. I therefore authorise you, sir, to formally declare to all and every one, to foreigners as well as to natives, at your place of residence, that any attempt for the restoration of the fallen dynasty would be vain and senseless ; that no prince of the houseof Bavaria can hence forth ever reign in Greece, unless he cuts a way to the throne through f ivers of blood and over piles of dead bodies, and that any Greek who should think of such a restoration, or take part with foreigners who might show such a desire, would be guilty of the crime of high treason, and be pun ished with all the severity of the laws. The Greek nation cannot allow any citizen to disobey its unanimous and sove reign will. I avail myself of this opportunity to request you also to contradict, in my letter lately published by the Augsburg Gazette, which gave the text of a pretended pro clamation in favour of the ex-King—a proclamation said to have been circulated at Athens, and favourably received by the moderate party. Nothing is more chimerical, sir, than that assertion of the Bavarian journal. No one in Greece, neither individual nor party, has ever thought of publishing any proclamation of the kind; it would have been a crime ' or an act of madness. I authorise you, sir, and request I you, to give the greatest publicity to the present circular. D. C. MATIWOORDATA.._ a MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. A very small supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market, in poor condition. The attendance of buyers was limited, and both red and white qualities sold heavily, at about Monday's currency. The supply of foreign wheat was large. In all descrip tions sales progressed slowly on former terms. Fluctuating cargoes of grain were in slow request, yet no change took place in their value. . .. _ .._. _ Witb barley the market was moderately supplied. Fine malting parcels were tolerably firm ; but other kinds met a dull inquiry at barely stationary prices. About an average business was transacted in malt at late rates. S ,veet English and Scotch oats ruled firm as to price but for other kinds the trade was heavy at previous cur. rencies. Beans were dull, at Monday's decline in prices; but peas maintained their former value. The dealings in most kinds of flour were extremely moderate, at late quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

A special general meeang of the Governors of St. Thomas's Hospital was held on Monday at the Terminus Hotel , London-bridge. Sir J. Mus grove, the president, occupied the chair. The solicitor of St. Thomas's Hospital, Mr. Wainwright, made a statement as to the proceed ings at the last general court, in which, in answer to a question by a governor, he had replied that no offer of £120,000 or £6,000 a year for the piece of land required by the railway company had been made. At the conclusion of reading the minutes of former courts, the PRESIDENT said the committee had no thing further to communicate relative to the secur- ing the site of Bethlem Hospital. A GOVERNOR said he believed it had been desired that a question of such great magnitude as the deciding do finitely upon the site of the hospital should be submitted to a special court to be held lf!er the proceedings and negotiations had bAgn printed trid placed in the hands o►' every governor. Mr. I ITE wished to sly a few words upon a sub itet so full of anxiety as the final determination of the site for their new hospital. Ho be lieved it was a pretty general opinion that if it was possible to secure Bethlem Hospital as a site for the new St. Thomas's, it would be the best for the interest of this great charity, and the suffering poor who were so deeply interested in the question. The minutes just read showed that he and his colleagues had done their best towards remedying so desirable an object. What he wished the meeting to do was, supposing always that Bethlehem Hospital could be secured for these purposes, to express an opinion favourable to such a proceeding, which he conside red would greatly strengthen the hands of the committee. The only thing the authorities of Bethlehem desired was that they (the governors) of St. Thomas's should provide them with as good a building and art eligible site. He did not think there would be any difficulty in complying with these re quirements, and he was sure there was nothing but the most honourable feeling on both sides, so that, if the site of Bethlem was secured, he considered they would acquire the best end most convenient position possible, and that both the public and the governors would be well satis fied. The resolution he asked to submit for their approval was as follows: — "That the court request the grand committee to continue to use every means in their power to ob tain the terms and conditions upon which Bethlem Hospital may be obtained for the purposes of St. Thomas's Hospital, this Court being of opinion that the site of Bethlehem is well adapted to carry into effect tht3 views and wishes of the governors." He did not wish to commit thegovernors to any specific bargain; all he wished was an expression of opinion on the part of the meeting. Alderman FirtNts seconded the resolution. Deputy ELLIOT questioned very much whether the meeting could entertain the motion. They had that day, it was true heard a report read from the grand committee, but he was of opinion that that report ought to have been printed, so that they might know the exact position in which they stood. Mr. ADAMS said it had been stated that the last court was altogether fai-ourable towards Bethlem being fixed as the site of the new hospital. That was not so, because he Into opposed altogether to such' a proceeding. He thought the resolution an attempt, by a side-wind, to get the governors' ap proval for the purchase of Bethelem. Mr. G. BROOKS thought,. if the meeting passed the resolution, they were entirely committed to the purchase of Bethlehem Hospital. Mr. BAGGILY was in favour of Bethlehem,which he considered to be a good site. He thought they ought to take some definite step, because the delay was very embarrasing. They had to give an answer to the Fishmongers' Company relative to the land they had offered for the hospital, and he thought it ought to be gathered from the governors, not the public out of doors, where they were to go to. It was quite true that if they agreed upon Bethlehem, they could not put upon that site the plan proposed, but with respect to the Surrey Gardens, the Labourisare plan could be carried out. He hoped something would be done, as the greatest inconvenience was occasioned by the state of uncertainty that at present existed. A GOVERNOR again asked whether it was com petent for the meeting to entertain the resolution of Mr. Tite. The CHAIRMAN said the court was master of its own proceedings, and he thought it quite compe tent to pass the resolution. Mr. TITE was sorry any hard words had been used. He could assure the gentleman that there was no intention on his part to attempt to carry his motion by a side wind. His great desire was o obtain the best position possible for their new hospital. The authorities of Bethlehem were gentlemen animated with but one desire ; they did not want the governor's money as money, they did not wish to make a bargain out of the transauction, all they wanted was, in the event of their institution being required for St. Thomas's Hospital, that a building of the descrip tion should be placed upon a desirable and con venient site. Mr. ADAMS said it appeared to him that the reso lution indirectly called upon the governors to express their approval of the appropriation of Bethlehem Hospital. _ The resolution was then put and carried une,ni measly. Mr. ELLIOT said the delay in deciding this ques tion was of serious consequence , to the suffering poor. They had now only 200 beds for their patients, when they ought to have at least 600 or 600. The Surrey Gardens offered every conviani ence for the carrying out their plan. There were 18 acres of land, and contiguous 30 more at nington Park, so they vt ould have plenty of tresh air, which he considered as desirable as pills and draughts. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He did hope there would be no more de lay, and in order to prevent it, he begged to move e, re solution that, in the event of the negotiations for Bethlem failing, the committee be instructed to purchase the Surrey Gardens. The resolution having been seconded, a discus sion upon it arose at the conclusion of which, the Chairman put the resolution to the meeting, and it was negatived. The CHAIRMAN —They already had possession of the Surrey Gardens for a term, and if the site of Bethlem was not obtained the governors most un doubtedly would turn their attention to the advan tages opposed by that property for the site for the new hospital.

Rand, Thorne, and Co., artists' metallic-tube manufacturers, of Cardington-street, Hampstead road. It was not discovered until the flames had obtained a firm hold on the building. The fire-engine belonging to Euston-square station was quickly on the spot, but could render no effectual aid in ex tinguishing the flames, owing to a difficulty in obtaining water. Messrs. Shand and Mason's steam fire-engine, and the Kentish-town brigade lid not arrive until the roofs had fallen in. Then a plentiful supply of water was obtained, but the flames were not extinguished until the premises were completely burnt to the ground.
