However briEfly, we cannot but at once express in the strongest terms our exaltation at the over whelming defeat, last night by the Opposition, of the Government scheme for handing over the National Gallery to the Royal Academy, and for the removal of the national collection of pictures from Trafalgar-square to Burlington House, Fines- dilly. The proposition came before the House of Commons yesterday is the pleasant form of a vote proposed to be passed, but in the end, we are delighted to say, peremptorily rejected —an agreeable little vote of some £lO,OOO sterling for the New National Gallery, on the site of Burlington House. Committees had sat, blue. books had been printed, men of science and men of art, almost all of them without exception persons of distinguished eminence, had been elaborately examined, and still more elaborately cross examined —all this with but one only result, namely, the settlement to all appearance,it seemed until the other day quite definitively, that the national collection of Pictures should still continue to be on view as the national collection upon the present site of the building known (ever since it was erected for that purpose) as the National Gallery. Of late, how ever, it had got about that the whole scheme was to be set aside. That the National Gallery was to be yielded up entirely to the Royal Academy. That the National Collection of Pictures was to be removed to Burlington House in Piccadilly. That, in fine, if the Court Hobby could not be ridden as far fas it was at one time hoped) as South Kensington, it should, at any rate, be trotted so far in that direction that it should be in-stalled upon the site of Burlington House, in Piccadilly. It seemed incredible. But the attempt to delude the House last night into passing this vote of LlO,OOO already alluded to proved the statement that it actually was so to be ower true. However, meek though it is content to remain in regard alike eo Reform and to the Foreign Policy of England, the House could hardly yield, so far as to swallow this cool proposi tion to bring about the total reversal of its own decisions. It has repelled the paltry proposition of the Government, and repelled it triumphantly..; Sir JOHN HAY did good service in calling atten tion to the very faulty management of Greenwich Hospital. The Royal Commission that sat for six months to inquire into its affairs made a most un satisfactory report. When it was mentioned that this great institution was almost entirely perverted from its purpose, it was surely time to make some striking change in its style and workings. The Hospital had been arranged to accommodate two thousand and three hundred pensioners, but there were only one thousand and fiee hundred inmates at the time of the investigation. The most scan dalous thing of all was that no less than one thou sand one hundred seamen were in the different workhouses of England. A more striking proof was seldom given of official mismanagement, or a more glaring instance of funds misappropriated from their original destination. The purport of Sir JOHN HAY'S motion leas that due heed should be paid to the recommendations of the Commis sioners, who strongly urged on the Government to put a stop to the system of double government which prevailed at the Hospital. In this idea many able and well-informed persons concurred, and it was, therefore, most desirable that they should attend to the suggestion. This double government is an innovation on the original system, for it was introduced in 1829, Since so much has been said of the evil effects of its workings, it does seem strange that delay and difficulties should be cone tinually thrust in the way of amendment and alte ration. It is perfectly incomprehensible to under stand the objects of these vexatious hindrances that are constantly interposed when any im portant step ought to be taken. It is idle to attempt to fathom the motives of all in high places, when they aro told in emphatic terms what they ought to do to kffict remedies. The strange thing is that ailsides appear to agree as to the advisability of a change. The Secretary to the Admiralty himself said i❑ a speech a year or two back, "All the world knows that the government of Greenwich Hospita is extremely defective." It is a great scandal to all immediately concerned that such should be the case, and a great disgrace to the country that there should be such errors existing in an establishment which was formed for the refuge of those who have spent the best years of their lives in the service of their country, and belong to a class which is its best security and surest safeguard. The Government introduced a bill which was to do away with the double government at the Hospital, and effect other salutary arrangements, but this measure was with drawn. Mr. CHILDERS made a very specious state ment on this subject, but he did not explain why it was necessary to wait for such a protracted period before entering upon the necessary changes. Indeed, one part of his own statement clearly showed the necessity that existed for an immediate and tho rough change taking place. Since the Commis sioners made their report the number of pensioners had diminished by one hundred and sixty-eight. Surely this fact should be the most potent argument that can be employed, and the most powerful auxiliary that can be sought for to aid the cause of reform. There is nothing so difficult to overcome as ;he hindrances of those who profess that they are ready to help but never show the least sign of putting their promises into execution. Had the Admiralty at first resolutely declined to move in this matter, very likely there might have been a strong opposition worked up against them, but their seeming acquiescence quieted the loudest de claimer and reconciled the most severe of critics. It is perfectly absurd to make it appear that sufficient - - time has not elapsed since the date of the Commis- sion for all essential alterations to have taken place. It is nearly four years, and there would have been ample time to do double the w or k necess i tated b y these plans that were proposed. No doubt the me mbers of the Government are actuated by a desire to put a atop to the serious grievances that impair the workin g of this time-honoured institution, but they are evidently afraid of offending the prejudices of interested parties. This a great mistake, and, indeed, it amounts to a positive wrong, for the in terests of truth and justice should come before all secondary ty motives, and th e claims of those for whom h was founded ar e ary perso ns mixed up in the affair.ra t o It s is, of secondary t e chari t y paramount to the con. sd n all events, sati s f actory to find that ie , at the Government have resolved to get rid of the double government at Greenwich Hospital. Many other changes are also nontemplated, and, therefore, we may indulge the hope that eventu ally this institution may again lift up its head, and be recognised as one of the eats_ blishments of which the country may be proud. Sir JOHN PARINGTON, who is a good authority, approved of the plans that were in some part shadowed forth by Mr. CIIILDERS. The right hon. baronet very properly advocated tLe claims of the effiz., , zrs of the Royal. Navy, who, ho said, were put aside in consequence of the misinter pretation of the words of the charter. This is a very fair suggestion, since there can be no reason why this deserving class should be precluded from their share of the benefits of the institution. It very frequently occurs that in these charities some misunderstanding arises as to the right interpre tation of the text of the charters. In consequence many really deserving individuals are put aside, and others, who h ave really no claim of any sort, are allowed to consume the ?refits of th e place, and virtually to fritter away the substance that, pro p e rly applied, would have more than carried out the benevolent intentions of the founders of the in- Tilli SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENINCT I , JUNE 7, 1864. stitution in question. Lord C. PAGET declared that it was the intention of the Government to consider the claims of naval officers, and that he entirely concurred with all that Sir J. PAEINGTON had said on the subject. It is very satisfactory to find that at last some glimmeringsof the light that should guide their steps shoull have been discerned by the Admiralty, for they are generally most obtuse in making the dis covery. It remains now to hope that the Govern ment will be a little more expeditious in their mode of carrying out these improvements than they have been in devising them, for precious time is being lost, and opportunities are slipping by that can never be restored. The efforts of those who have constantly advocated the adoption of the necessary reforms have not been thrown away, and they may flatter themselves that they have contributed to wards a good work, and done great service to a noble institution of their country that all ranks and classes alike concur in honouring. No time or trouble can be thrown away in order to render the workings of such an establishment more beneficial, more worthy of the nation that offers the succour, and more acceptable to those who receive it, and then only obtain an offering to their bravery more than a charity doled out for their support. It is curious to observe how a subject which en grosses much of public attention for a time grad ually gets forgotten or set aside. Some long continued evil or oppression perhaps is brought suddenly into notice by a startling catastrophe. Every one is shocked, and every one exclaims that something must be done to check the recurring of the risks which occasioned it. Theorists are ready with their schemes of amendment, the assistance of the Press is invoked, the Legislature appealed to, and all seems to promise a speedy and substan tial reform. This is more especially the case during the months of the recess, when there is less to divert the attention, and consequently any do mestic event finds it easier to gain prominence. But it too often happens that after all the discus sion and the promise very little is done. Parliament meets, and a thousand questions start up for debate and decision, the war of parties, the chances of office—all these exciting topics thrust the humble but necessary reform into the shade, and until a fresh catastrophe produces another commotion things are suffered to go on in the same way. This programme has been accurately fulfilled.in the case of lunatics in humble life. After the startling re velations of last year, it was openly stated that many persons of unsound mind were concealed throughout the country, and were frequtntly ill treated by their relatives, who had charge of them. The instance of the PORTER family was too painful and convincing for such a suggestion to be rejected as improbable or impossible, neither after the evi dence which was then brought before the magi strates could it be hoped that the neighbours or other persons aware of the ill-treatment of the insane or imbecile might be relied on for giving information of such misconduct to the autho rities, It was said at the time that the crime proceeded as much from ignorance as from cruelty, and a case was brought to light in which the parents who seemed to enter tain no ill will against their imbecile son, nor any desire to deny his existence, kept him locked up in a den hardly fit to live in, in a state of dirt and wretchedness beyond exaggeration. In these days of enlightenment and humanity such conduct ap• pears moat inhuman and revolting, but we must remember that it is the lingering remains of the treatment generally adopted towards lunatics in the last cettury. Whips and chains, beds of straw and brutal keepers, were the means used by public consent to " minister to a mind diseased," and while the interior of even our public asylums is described by the writers of the time as a perfect Pandemonium, there were, at the same time, the same fatal facilities for obtaining the incarceration of sane persons who were wished out of the way for the sake of their property, or for other interested reasons. At last the evil grew to such a height that public indignation was excited, and the con sequence was a thorough reform. Those who com pare the treatment of lunatics in Bethlehem or in Calney Hatch with the records of former times, may well felicitate humanity on its progress. But while no care or consideration can be too great for these afflicted beings, whose condition appeals so forcibly to those still blessed with their noblest faculties, the safety of the public must also be con sidered. Happily there is no discordance between the two requirements, since the public interes demands only that reasonable and constant supervision be kept over the actions of the lunatic which is essential to his own safety and possible chance of recovery. Let every care and kindness be shown to the insane, but let them be placed under control the moment any dangerous symptoms mani. fest themselves. This may be of less consequence with harmless imbeciles like PORTER, but it is indispensable in the case of violent lunatics. With the imbecile the great object is to guard them from ill•usage or neglect ; with the insane to keep them from iojuring others. A very melancholy story has just been brought to light, giving f orc ibl e evidence of the urgent need that exists for making so me alteration in the present system of dealing with the insane. A young man named JAMES LOVE lived with his family in the north. His mind had been for some time seriously affectcd owing to an acciden we presume a fatal one, having befallen a young girl, to whom he was much attached. He was able to maintain himself by his work, which precluded the authorities from noticing him; but he had long been so dangerous that his mother admitted she always kept knives and sharp things out of his way; and his other relatives, it is said, lived i❑ fear of him, not without cause, as the sequel of the story shows. One night the mother was roused by a strange noise, and going into the adjoining nom found her eldest son lying in bed with his throw cut, while the lunatic readily admitted having been the murderer. He had killed him with a razor which he had borrowed from a barber in the village, ... . and so closely did his mother watch him that she had ascertained the fact of his having borrowed it, though she searched for it in vain. What the barber was dreaming of to give such an in strnment to a person who must have been known in the village to be insane is a question that may well be asked, and was, we hope, put at the inquest, The blame of keep- jog such a man at large does not in this instance rest exclusively with the parents, since a year ago the mother spoke of him to the parochial inspector, who, on hearing that he was gaining his own bread, refused to interfere. The condition of the family during all these months must have been ng frightf u l, s ince every hour they were dsormeeedtihnigthe catastrophe that too surely came at last. There ought to be some regularly appointed may work such terrible results. It would office to er.amine into such cases, where ignorarce have a syst em of registratiog all such e bo a re s ande nw s e , eglil e:ot the medical officer for the district might be charged with the duty. I t i s quite time that a different method was adopted, since it is a well known fact that among the lower classes there are large numbers so s tp icted, and the burden of sup porting them fall 4 heavy on their friends, Who are besides unable to pay for keepers and attenda n t s as wealthier members of a fsraily so afflicted would do. We hope this session will not be suffered to pass by without some measure being introduced for the regulation of this matter. Herr Ernst's Concert AT THE ST. JAMES'S HALL LAST EVENING. A magnificent tribute was, last evening, offered to one of the greatest artists of the age—Herr Heinrich Ernst, the most gifted of living vio linists. And when Herr Ernst is so spoken of, it should be borne in mind that the present epoch in the History of the Violin is very noticeably pro life in rarely gifted masters of that king among the instruments. In testimony of which, it is only necessary to bear in mind for one moment that among living violinists there can yet be num bered (to say nothing of others not here mentioned) artists as distinguished in their wondrous mastery of the fiddle as Sivori, and Joachim,.and Wieniawski. The two great violinists last mentioned offered the tribute of their co-operation yesterday, as did several other eminent performers, both vocal and instrumental, in token of their personal regard and professional admiration for one whom they look to not simply with affec tion as a confrere, but vtith admiration as a maestro. Together with the two celebrated violinists just mentioned, Joachim and Wieniawski, the fol lowing distinguished artistes took part last evening in the performances—L. Ries with the violin, H. Webb with the viola, Signor Piatti with the vio loncello, M. Halle at the piano, the tenor of the night being, otherwise to express it, the Tenor of the Day, meaning of course our great tenor Mr. Sims Reeves, the soprano being Madame Meyer Thatmann, and the contralto Madame Lesnbetizka. As Conductor, the concert of last evening, moreover, had that best of all concert conductors—Mr. Bene dict. The whole of the musical entertainment yes terday, it should here be remarked at once, how ever, while it was the one hundred and fifty-third of those Monday Popular Concerts now securely establishei as among the most brilliant of the musical institutions of the metro polis —was especially set apart for Herr Ernst's Benefit. And by reason of the simple announce ment of the fact that it had been so arranged, th© usually well filled area of Sr. James's Hall was quite un-usually crowded last evening by one of the most brilliant assemblies of the season, every part of the hall being thronged by admirers of the great violinist. Apart from the attractive circum stance of the performances being designed at once in his honour and for his advantage, there was, moreover, the crowning attraction - of all in the fact that there were to be given, for the first time, accord ing to the announcements of the programme for the night, several of his latest compositions for the violin the viola, the violincello, and even for the pianoforte. Hay do's exquisite quartet in D major (No. 45) led off the radiant selection marked down in the pro pramme—a programme t including among other mor ceaux,Romberg's Andante in G major for violincello, with pianoforte accompaniment, charmingly exe cuted by Piatti and Halle ; Gounod's " Quando a to lieta," from Faust, so very gracefully rendered by Madame Leschitzka, that it was encored by accla mation; Beethoven's mellifluous love song, "Lieder Kreis," that "lengthened sweetness long drawn out," given last evening for the ninth time by Mr Sims Reeves ; and, besides these, Mozart's immortal Letter Air, from Don Giovanni, "Non mi dir bell' idol mio," chaunted rather than sung last night, anything but satisfactory to our mind, if we may presume to hint as much, by Madame Meyer Dustinann. The especial matter for interest, however, last evening in this concert of Herr Ernst's was, as we have before hinted, the performance —some of them for the first time— of the great artist's own compositions. In some respects the most remarkable among all these was the masterly quartet for two violins, the viola, and the violincello, inimitably given by Joachim, Ries, Webb, and Piatti. Hearing it but once, as we have done, it is of course impossible to appreciate one tithe of the abounding merits and distinguishing beauties of this most original and highly imagina tive composition. The symmetry of its construction, the exhilarating freshness of melody suffusing it, so to speak, like a very atmosphere, the intricate invo iution noticeable in several of its more highly elabo rated passages —created even upon that fit st heating, not only upon ourselves but upon the vast mcjority of the audience, a very profound impression, Ot itself it would be an all-sufficient attestation of the fact already known in his regard, that Herr Ernst is indeed a master of the mysteries and wizardies of counterpoint. A tender and beauti ful notturno of Ernst's for the pianoforte was performed with that touch of infinite grace and delicacy peculiar to M. Halle—who followed up his refined execution of it with a brilliant taran tella, by Heller. Goethe's lovely siren-like, ballad "Der Fischer," indifferently translated by the Rev. Archer Gurney, but suavely embalmed in the amber of a delicious melody by Herr Ernst, was admir ably sung by Mr. Sims Reeves. The song itself, however, partakes by necessity too much of the dreamy tone of a reverie to admit of its rousing the hearers of it to anything like enthusiasm. Beautiful as it is, therefore, no less as one of Goethe's marvellous fancies, than as one of Ernst's most sympathetically emotional compositions, it failed to command an en- core. The two charms and glories of the night, however, we have left here to the very last to be .particularised --the two especial charms and glories of the night, that is, according to our capabilities of appreciation. Both of these were compositions of Herr Ernst's. Each of them, was for the violin. One of them, an old favourite—emi nently well beloved. The other, if not precisely a new composition in itself,was completely new to us, and we doubt not also to the vast majority of those who heard it last night in the St. James's Hall- - yesterday, in fact, being the occasion of its first per formance here in England. The former of these two _ -- - compositions—the one we have just now ePoken of as an old familiar favourite, and one eminently well beloved—Who does not know it, who knows any thing at all of the genius of Herr Ernst? That exquisite "El e gie our l a mort d' un Wet cheri" — admirably, wonderf u ll y per f orme d l ab t n i g ht by Herr Joachi m — war bl e d b y hi m, so bbed forth by him upon the stri ngs o f t h at marvell°" in strument. The oth e r so l o for the violin , already spoken of as entirely new last night to a London audience, was performed with antonishing dexterity of manipulation by the wizard bow and fingers of Wieniawski. It was the adaptation by Herr Ernst of Schubert's Erl King —altogether a very wonderful composition and is certainly a masterly performance. A composition blending together the three voices (matvellously indicating the three individualities one might almost say) of Father, Child, and Goblin Spirit— the performer's pow er th ere in, as it wer e, a t the instant beck of the comp oser 's genius' bounding " into a strange wail uncouth Like witches' dance, gh as tly with whin in g s thin And palsied nods— soun d s w icked, unquestionable tionable genius, of a gen ius Altogether, of its kind, a compositi on of unques assad, and weak I" in its wild eltrich way as that distinguishable in the tender and passionate pathos of the E'egie, or as that marking the abundant quartet saelrreipatdy quartet t ent f e o d r u v p i o o n ii , tis _ . and labyrinthine b eau ties of the new rnvsiotisa, and vio new mann lincello. The audience, crowded though it was, listened throughout the whole evening most atten tively, stopped to the last with but a very few ex ceptions, applauded to the echo, and were manifestly delighted. The result, indeed, was in every way so much of a success that we may, without hesita. tion,offer to the distinguished artist, in whose honour the whole performance wns given, our earnest con gratulations upon it, as a signal evidence of his personal popularity both with the public and with the profession, and of the fell appreciation of his genius by both.

[REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] (Per the Hibernian via Greencastle.) NEW YORK, MAY 27 (Evening.) Despatches from General Grant up till yesterday morning state that his movement was progressing, and the result would be manifest in 24 hours. General Lee's position covers Sexton's Junction, his right resting on Little Swamp, and his left on Little River. The Fedorals have abandoned their depot at Fredericksburg and Acquia Creek, and have esta blished another nearer to General Grant.

B. Mather, of Manchester, for £lOO and the champion swimming cup, value £25, came off yester day in the Thames, over the usual two. mile course from the Doves at Chiswick to the Aqueduct at Putney, and at tracted, as is usual on these occasions, many thousands of spectators both ashore and afloat. Both men are well known to the swimming fraternity, Beckwith having held the championship for many years, beating among others his present opponent, who on his part has contended many times with success. Both men had trained well and care fully for the event, and looked everything that could be de sired, and the betting was of a varied character, but all in favour of Beckwith, who is nearly 40 years of age, and 15 years his opponent's senior. All the preliminaries having been adjusted, tLe men took their stations on a plank fixed on the bows of one of the accompanying steamers, and made the plunge at a few minutes past seven, Beckwith being first in the water; Mather, however, caught him in a few strokes, and then an interesting race with alternate leads folleweJ, Mather passing ucdcr Hammersmith-bridge lead ing by a few lengths. In the next few strokes they came level again, and continued so for 200 yards, when the ac companying small boats hampered them very much, and both stopped for a few seconds, Beckwith the longest. This gave Mather a good lead, which he held past the Soap Works, where the boats crowding around them again, Beck swam over to the Middlesex shore, while Mather kept in his proper course, and when bah men were seen again Mather was l ea di ng about 150 yards, and cont i nue d to do so till a quarte r o f a mile from home. Beckw i t h resigne d the contest, Mather finishing by himself, and both being very much distressed. Mather's swimming against such disadvantages was very much admired, and he accomplished the distance its 31 minutes 12 becoudo. ..... Death of Nathaniel Hawthorne. American letters have again experienced a notable loss. Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne, widely known as the author of several remarkable works of fiction, died suddenly at Plymouth, N.H., on the 19th May. He had been in but feeble health for some time past, and had undertaken a journey in consequence. He retired as well as usual, and was found dead in his bed about three o'clock in the morning by Mr. Franklin Pierce in whose company he was j(;ur neying. Mr. Hawthorne was born in Silern, Mass , on the 4th of July, 1804. He graduated at Bowden Col. lege in 1825, in the same class with George B. Cheeyer and Henry W. Lorgfeliovv. Franklin Pierce, who was in the preceding class, was his in timate friend. Upon leaving college, without en tering upon the study of either of the learned pro • fessions, he devoted himself to general literature, publishing in 1837 his "Twice-Told Tales," which at once attracted the attention and admiration of tasteful and appreciative readers,and finally became, to a certain extent, a popular book. A second series of these tales was published in 1842. Mr, Haw thorne, in 1848, was appointed a weigher and gauger in the Boston Custom House, from which place he was, by a change in the Adminietra tion, removed in 1841. He then joined the so ciety at Brook Farm, where, however, he re mained only for a short time, returning to Bos ton, where he resided until his marriage in 1843. He then retired to Concord, a town which will always be famous not only in our political but our literary annals. In 1846 Mr. Hawthorne was ap pointed Surveyor of the port of Salem. In 1849, having quitted office, during his continuance in which he published " The Scarlet Letter," he re moved to Lenora, Mass., where the " House of the Seven Gables," printed ir. 1851, was written. His next novel was the "Blitheedale Romance," printed in 1862, in which year he returned to Concord. His life of Franklin Pierce was published during the canvass which resulted in Mr. Pierce's election ; and the new President signified his gratitude, and at the same time gratified friendly feelings long established, by giving Mr. Hawthorne the place of United States Consul at Liverpool, said to be the most lucrative at that time in the President's gift, This efface he resigned in 1857, end, after a period of Continental travel, returned to the United States, since which his " Marble Faun," and work on Eng lish traits have been published. Besides the books already enumerated, Mr. Hawthorne was the author of "'Prue Stories from History and Biography" (1851); "The Wonder Book, for Boys and Girls" (1851) ; " The Snow Image, and other Twiee.told Tales" (1852) ; Tanglewood Tales (1853). He also edited "Journal of an African Cruiser" (1845). Mr. Hawthorne's reputation as a remarkable writer of fiction, and an agreeable essayist, was by no means confined to the United States. His most important works have been republished and widely read in England, and some of them, in the form o translation, have been popular in Germany. Royal Botanic Society's Gardens, Regent's Park, An exhibition of American plants, Indian and American rhododendrons, &c., by Mr. John Waterer, of the American Nursery, Bagshot, attracted a large number cf visitors yesterday to these charming gardens. The show of rhododendrons is indeed a splendid one, the plants being now in very fine order. Mr. John Waterer is well known as the best hybridiser &rhododendrons, and the large standards were particularly fine, the nursery at Bagshot being celebrated for all kinds of conifers. We observe that there are greater quantities of new scarlet varieties of rhododendrons than usual. In so magnificent a display it is difficult to select for speci d mention the specimens demanding prominent notice. We be lieve, nevertheless, that we are correct in our information in naming the following cases : In Class 1, among the ❑ew and distinct hardy scarlet and other choice rhododendrons, the Sidney Herbert—brightest carmine, with dark blotch, fine shape, large bold flower ; Joseph Whitworth --dark purplish lake, dark spots, with large blooms and excellent foliage; Princess Mary of Cambridge— nearly white centre, with a band of rosy purple edging ; Annihilator—a clear, bright rosy scarlet, with fine foliage; Lady Emily Peel—bright rosy crimson, with large blotch of black spots; Corson lator—a very bright scarlet crimson ; Brennus —rich crimson lake ; Fulgetrum—dark crimson ; Giorgione--brilliant rosy scarlet ; Meridian dark crimson ; Raphael—reddish crimson. In Class 2, hardy scarlet, crimson, rose, and other varieties, we venture to mention specially Bylsianum, clear white ground colour, with tips of bloom, &c.; John Waterer—intense glowing car mine ; Johnsonianum—brilliant crimson ; Lady Eleanor Cathcart—bright clear rose, with crimson spots ; Lady Godivo—fine white, with yellow spots; and Minnie --blush white, with a very large blotch of orange spots. The band of the let Life Guards perfornied during the afternoon a choice selection of music in their accustomed style. The weather was so delightful that the company seemed rather to prefer the promenade and listen ing to the band than the splendid diTlay of rhodo dendrons. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, Market quiet and firm. Sales, about 6,000 bales, Imports, 11 ; 652 Previously, 3,082. QUICK. TRAVELLING.—The General Steam Navi gation Company's steamship Berlin, Captain E. H. Frost, left Hamburg on Saturday morning last at one o'clock, and arrived at St. Katherine's wharf at half-pat 12 noon the following day, thus making the passage from port to port in 35 hours. SCOTCH MORALITY,--The Scotch papers are in Tney are in the deepest of holy horror ) because the Queen did not attend church in public on Sunday week, and yet went out driving in the afternoon. What would the gloomy observers of the Sabbath have said if they had been on the road to Richmond about three o'clock last Sunday afternoon? Indignation meetings would have been held from Bremer to " nuld Reekie. , The Prince and Princess of 'Wales had resolved to dine at the White-lodge, and to entertain a small party at their impromptu banquet, for it had only been thought of the night before, after the Volunteer review. There was no provender nor Italian cook at the White Lodge, E 0 that everything had to be sent out on Sunday. About half-past two o'clock a private omnibus set cut from Marl borough. house, crammed with cooks, kitchen-maids, hampers, and canvas and carpet bags. The side windows were all open ; and in the centre of the 'bus sat le chef de cuisine, arrayed in full official costume—white jacket, red cap, &c. In his mouth was a short pipe, from which ascended whiffs of tobacco not the most fragrant, as pipes were being put out in the closing public-houses, and as West-end Lon don was obeying the calls of church bells tolling from a hundred steeples. Many a pious eye was raised in wonder and despair; and gloomy forebodings of a return to the days lof George IV. disturbed many a religious soul. The fact is, German manners prevail at court ; and, though the Prince and Princess never miss attending church on Sun. , day, like the Queen herself, they enjoy them'elves in the afternoon, and have no scruple about a drive in the parks and a quiet dinner party in the evening. The private opinion of the Scotch Church that they cannot be among the pre destined does not seem to affect cheir spirits. The recep. tion given to the Princess in Cambridge has been enthusi astic beyond all precedent of receptions of royalty in that seat of learning ; and the cheers for the King of Denmark, with the torrent of counter-groans for Earl h tn;sell, and not a little significant as to the feeling of the manhood and intellect of the country in respect of the Danish question, and the conduct of our Foreign Minister in respect thereto, A STRANGE VESSEL IN BELFAST.—Yestkrday, about eleven o'clock, a strange looking craft put into our quays. She came from the Clyde on her trial trip, and made the passage at the extraordinary speed of twenty miles en hour. She is very rough-looking in exterior, having, ap parently, received only one coat of paint; still she is about es smart-looking a vessel as ever entered the port. Her lines are very gracefully drawn, and she is very low in the bows, as if made to plough through the waves. She has three funnels in front of the paddle•boxes, two masts with no rigging between—in fact she has scarcely any rigging at all. Although only 1,000 tons burthen, her engines are 1,400 horse power. After making all inquiries we could about her future occupation, we believe we aro correct in stating that she has been purchased by a Confederate firm in Londo n t o run the b lockade it possible, and that Alobil e is her destivatien. She has no name painted upon her, but ' will, we believe, be known in future as " No. 27," Sh left for the Clyde hut night,—,Belfaa Wi n g. X:rt , , , HER .MAJESTY, BALMORAL, JUNE 4.

Princess's Theatre, Last night a new three . act drama, by Mr Slotte, author of "The Templar," was produced at this theatre. The drama is entitled "Light and adow," but why or wherefore we cannot imagine , for it is in no degree appropriate to the piece itself, which is framed on one of the incidents said to have occurred in Paris during the regency of Phillip of Orleans, memorable in history by the rise of John Law's speculative mania known as the great Mishis sippi scheme, during which great fortunes were both lost and won in a few days, sometimes in a fel' hours. The incident taken by Mr. Slous is that related of the hunchback of the Rue Quin campoix, who, it is said, was enabled to achieve a colossal fortune by, in the first Instance, letting his hump as a writing desk during the ❑igb of the scheme, and, then, like otheis, joining in the scheme, but, unlike the maje' rity, securing his fortune, which he had so hazard ously woa. The character of the hunchback wag sustained by Mr. Dominick Murray, wr,o a abort time ago made a very favourable debut a t this theatre. At the commencement of the play Flare, the hunchback, is secretary to the proud and au' tiquated nobleman, and although aware o f the wildness of his passion, he secretly nourishes his passion. The lady, of coarse, has a lover, and this person nearly kills the poor fellow by knocking him down while galloping his horse. Whilst suffering from his injuries, he hears that the m a rquis, his master, is about to pull down his mother's cottage, in order to increase the beauty of the pleasure grounds. The hunchback pleads in vain for time, as removal would be death to his sick mother. The mother dies while the heuse is being razed, and the hunchback, frantic at he news, aMcks the mazquis. For this he is cast into the Bastille, where he is left forgotten for five years. The old marquis's daughter procures hie discharge, and then, sick and friendless, he goes to . - . - the Rue Quincampoix, an d t h en b ecomes mixed up in the speculation mania. He becomes rich, the marquis becomes poor; the lady's lover is reported dead, Gild her brother is under sentence of death as an attainted traitor. Pierre has become all power ful it , i! . fluence with the Regent, and the marquis and his daughter seek him to obtain par don for their relative. At first he refuses, but his love for the lady makes him re lent. He saves the young man's life, and then Clarisse con9ents to become the wife of the hunch back. Everything is arranged for the wedding, but the former lover of the lady arrives, and then. Pierre magnanimously foregoes his claim on th e lady's hand, and the young couple are indebted for the blissful happiness to the once despised hunchback. Mr. Dominick Murray gave a very vivid representati n of the part, and showed, by the force and intensity of his conception, high abilities as an actor. Mr. David Fisher has a capital part—a rough French peasant—which be played remarkably well; and Mr. J. W. Ray Bu s " rained the part of the old Marquis with great judgment. The play was a complete success ; and at the fall of the curtain the whole of the artistes were called for to receive the applause of a very crowded house• CALLS TO THE BAR, INNER TEMPLE, June 6—The under-mentioned gentle' men were this day called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple:--John Bealey, Esc., M.A ., Cambridge—Francis Henry Lascelles, Esq.
