Therefore, 0 Lord, we entreat Thee so to regulate the thoughts of our hearts, that they may not be lifted up, that we forget the Lord our God, as if our power or the might of our hands had gotten us this wealth. It cometh of Thine hand, and is all Thine own ; both riches and honour cometh of Thee; and Thou reigaest over all, and in Thy hand it is to make great and to give strength unto all. Now, there fore, 0 Lord, we thank Thee, and praise Thy glorious name, and beseech Thee to grant that the many bless ings vouchsafed to our nation may dispose our hearts to serve Thee more faithfully, and in all that we undertake to seek Thy honour and glory. Above all, teach us so to use the earthly blessings Thou givest us richly to en joy that they may not withdraw our affections from those heavenly things that Thou bast prepared for those that love and serve Thee through the merits and media tion of Thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose pre vailing name and words we further call on Thee."

Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eon lequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and whe are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal managemen t which cannot be violated without the grievous penalties, and when wisdom and re g ret succeed "la heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties s hay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, t d how the evil and its conseque nces ma y be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment o f these delicate complaints, which are 20xtunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant n'Aries, who inflict great injury o n those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

TEMPORARY OFFICES.—The Lincolnshire Fire Office, Cornhill, Lincoln. In placing the Prospectus of the MIDLAND COUNTIES INSURANCE COMPANY before the Public, it may be well first, briefly to glance at the Insurance Companies at present existing in those counties. Warwickshire has two the Birming ham Fire and the District Fire. Notinghanashire and Derby shire one—The Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Fire and Life Office ; and Lincolnshire one—The Lincolnshire Fire Offica. It will be noticed three of these are Fire Offices only. The two WarwiBk, Shire Companies are both of them highly respectable and well established Companies, but limited in their operations to Fire In surances, and doing the balk of their business in their own localities. The Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire has maintained, for many years, a most respectable position; but it may be fairly asserted, without any intention of underrating the Office, that it does not hold that rank amongst Insurance Companies which is ne cessary to render it so profitable to the Shareholders, or extensively , useful to the public, as it might be. Leicestershire formerly pos sessed a local Insurance Office, but it was abandoned and sold to the Sun Fire Office EOM years age, although parties, well acquainted with the Leicestershire office, have asserted that it only required energy and perseverance to have maintained its ground success fully. Northamptonshire and Rutlandshire never possessed any in surance company of their own. The Lincolnshire Fire Office is one of more recent origin, but con nected with or of the largest counties in the kingdom. It was established in 185, is composed of 495 shareholders, resident in Lincoln or Line dnshire, and although the business of the Company Verhelet ahnost exclusively confined to the city and county of Lin coln, it has in three years insured nearly Two Millions of Property. The whole of the paid up capital of the Company is entire, and in vested upon securities ; and out of actually realised profits during the last three years, all Fire Losses have been paid, all manage ment expenses, Five der Cent. each year to the shareholders upon the paid up capital, all the charges connected with the formation of the Comp ‘ny, and still there is a surplus of nearly 1,000/. as a reserve fund. This, in so limited a sphere of business opera tions, and in so short a time, shows what might be done upon the same principle, by combinations throughout the whole of the Midiami Coun ties, taking, too, into account, that by such a combination the per tentage of working expenses would be considerably reduced, and the amount of local interest brought to bear, renders success certain. The shares of the Lincolnshire Fire Office have attained a pre mium of cent. per cent upon the paid up Capital. The Office was originally intended to have been a Life, as well as Fire Office ; but it was decided first to try its working as a Fire Office before undertaking Life risks. The success of the office has now, however, been so great, that it is determined by the shareholders to undertake Life, and also Hail Storm Insurances, in addition to the Fire business, and to extend the business to the whole of the Mid land Counties, with a body of shareholders in each county. This is proposed to be done by the dissolution or the Lincolnshire Fire office, and the formation of an entirely new Company, to be called " The Midland Counties Fire and Life and Hall Storm insurance Com pany." The books, papers, and business of the Lincolnseire-office to he handed over to the new Company upon the tenoning terms : The shareholdes in the Lincolnshire office to receive in shares (not in money) 30s. per share premium, as the market value of their interest in toe Company. To raise a fund for this pur pose, so as to keep the Capital of the new Company untouched, the new Shares are to be allotted at a Premium of 2s. Bd. per Share, which will raise a fund amply sufficient for the purpose. This 2s Bd. Premium will, of course, not be charged upon the Shares allotted to the Lincolnshire Fire Office Shareholders in lieu of their present Shares. To ensure a permanent resident Proprietary, the Shares of the MIDLAND COUNTIES are proposed to be divided into sepa rate Stocks for each County, the shares in such several County Stocks not being capable of being held other than by par ties resident in such several Counties ; and to ensure a Pro priety having an undivided interest in the prosperity of the Company, no person, whilst holding Shares in this Company, is to be allowed to hold Shares in any other Insurance Company. These restrictions may at first sight appear stringent, but they Must and will ultimately tend to promote the interest of the Corn pitny infinitely more than an indiscriminate holding of shares by parties not resident in the Midland district, and possessing such shares merely as an investment; or who, from conflicting interests in f whichother c , or s p s a h t a t free% shareholders, o s give y a rprundividedd ought,t t t o o t be the Company of which, CS shareholders, they profess, and ought, to be the sup- porters. As to the Life Business, the district of the Midland Counties corn greissettitesa. population a.eet asto of eiltwotetiennghtawinoshairnde three millions, entirely any ulecal p Life Office,and offering to the Midland Counties Company ample scope for a most profitable business in that department of In surance, and still in so doing to promote a great public benefit, as every well conducted Life Office undoubtedly is. As to the FIRE BUSINESS, the district of the Midland Counties is most favourable, the experience of all the existing Companies in those counties shows. As to the HAIL STORA INSURANCE, this has not been added to the Life and Fire business without careful consideration, and upon details obtained from sources which may be relied upon ; and the union of these three branches of Insurance in a district so good as the Midland Counties, combined with careful and energetic ma nagement, may well be expected, ere many years pass, to enable the Midland Counties Company to take its stand as one of the most in fluential Insurance Companies in the Kingdom. According to the arrangement entered into with the Shareholders of the Lincolnshire Fire Office, they will take 12,000 of the 17,000 shares forming the Stock of the Midland Counties Company, in Lin colnshire, therefore, there will be only 5000 new shares to allot, at the 2s. *d. premium, and, although, many of the Lincolnshire Office Shareholders have a claim to be allowed to increase their amount of shares, yet the Provisional Committee will view with great pleasure and carefully consider applications for shares from parties of influ ence and standing, who are not at present shareholders in the Lin colnshire Office. No person can hold more than 300 Shares in the new Company.— The Head Office is proposed to be held in Lincoln, with local boards at Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, and Northampton.— The Board of Directors to be compeSed of 25 Gentlemen, chosen as follows : - • Llncelnshire .. ••.. • • ........ 5 Leicestershire 3 Warwickshire • • ............ 5 North cmptonshire .•• 3 Derbyshire .• • 4 Rutlandshire .. • • ...... 1 Nottinghamshire •• •. • 4 Three of the Directors to be paid by salary, and expected regu larly, if possible, to attend the Board Meetings, so as always to form a quorum for business ; the remainder of the Directors to be unpaid, but to be allowed their travelling expens 8, when they choose to attend Board Meetings, at the Head Office.-7 he Chairman of the Board of Direct I's to be ex officio, a member of all the local boards. The Annual Meeting of the Cornpan to be held alternately, at Lincoln, Birmingham, Derby, Nottmghans, Leicester, and North ampton. The Provisional Committee will proceed to allot the shares com prising the Lincoln stock, bat do not prop se to allot shares in any of the other counties until some influential gentlemen connected with those counties have applied for shares, and whose advice and direction in local committees may be rendered available in the selec tion of proper parties as shareholders, as it is not intended to allot the ahares at random to any one applying, but only to such parties as, by the , r position, are likely, not only to advance the interests of the Company by their Insurances, but by their association with it to give the public full confidence on the soundness of its foundation. It should also be stated that no deposit will be required upon the allotment of shares, as is general , y the case, for all applicants for shares will be held perfectly clear of all individual liability or ex pense, as when the Company is actually and legally fOrmed, (which it is sure to be) , th en the expense of its formation will be paid out of the funds of the C om p an y . Midland Ccmpa ny for that brief ort i sketch appointed the ted proposed y town in the Mid landd C C o o any, but influential p t district, who will re p resent the agents Thi s wills isa y county as regards its f o undation, and public meetings will be held in all the principal towns in the several counties to explain more fully the principles and d etails of the Company, but it is coatidently believed that a Company formed as this is proposed to be, and com prising probably between 2,000 and 3,000 influential shareholders, cannot fail to prove most creditable, and a profitable investment to all connected with it. While thus advocating the formation of a new Company it ought not in fairness to be forgotten that half a century age, the - prise, intelligence, and capital of the Metropolis, promoted enter and formed Insurance Institutions, which have been, for years, and are still amongst the proudest and wealthiest of our National Institutions, and supplied for the provinces of the Kingdom, at that time, what they were not then in a posit on to supply for themselves. But this en terprise has been amply rewarded long ago by profits almost beyond belief; in many cases anti, the pats-up capital has increa.ed to ten and twelve times its original amount, and now by the development of various national improvements, the Provincial Counties are as well able to found these Institutions for themselves, as the Capi talists of the Metro: ohs were in former years; and in confirmation of this, reference need only be made to such offices as the Norwich Union, the West of England, the Yorkshire, and ot'ter local offices. It has, for many years, been admitted that inveatments in well established Insurance Companies are the most profitable, permanent, and least hazardous, that are ever offered to the public ; and it is believed that many will read this Prospectus with doubt and hesita tion, who, in after years, will regret for themselves and their families that they did not throw a small amount of their capital, and the whole of their influence, into the promotion of this Company. Power will be taken by the Deed of Settlement to increase the capital of the Company to two millions by the issue of 81,000 fresh shares, upon such terms :is the existing shareholders of the Midland Counties company shall determine. This is provided for the pur pose of meeting any arrangement which may hereafter be thought advisable for the junction wile the Midland Counties Company of any of the Insurance Cmnpaniea which at present exist in those counties. Printed Prospectuses, and forms of applications for Shares, will be out in a few days, and may be had upon application to the at the Lincolnshire Fire Office, Lincoln ; or of any of the Agents of that Company ; or of any of the Agents of the Midland Counties Com pany ; who will shortly be appointed in Birmingham, Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Northampton, and Oakham, and of whose appoint ment notices wilt from time to time appear in the provincial papers. —By order of the Provisional Committee.

In compliance with numerous applications from persons de siring to proceed to the Cape of Good Hope, the Directors of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company have determined to de spatch their Steam ship " CAPE OF GOOD HOPE" to TABLE BAY, on the 20th of June next. The " Cape of Good hope," 11. 1). 2.IENsoN, Commander, has just returned from a most successful voyage to Constantinople with passengers and general cargo, is 700 tons hurthen, and 100 horse-power. Built by Messrs. Mare & Co., of Blackwall, and an extremely fast ship. Her accommodations for passengers are little if at all inferior to this Company's first-c►ass steam ships so well known on the Cape and Calcutta line. The rates of passage money are,—First Class, 60 and 65 Guineas each ; Second Class 35 to 45 Guineas each. The ship will load and sail from South ampton. As her capacity for passengers and freight is limited, early application should be made to the Company's °flees, 27, Cannon street, City. THE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA, August 4, 1854.—The magnificent screw steam-ship " CAL CUTTA," 1,800 tons, Captain J.

This fine vessel has maintained her high reputation for rapid sailing and punctuality, and is a sister ship to the " Argo," which has made the quickest voyage to and from Australia up to this time. The Calcutta bas been employed carrying the Mails to and from England and Calcutta, and from her superior sailing and steaming qualities, it may be fairly assumed that she will make the run in 60 days. Rates of Passage from 30 to 100 guineas She will be followed, on the 4th of October. by the encEsrs, of 2,500 tons.

FIRS.—A, Sre of a very alarming character occurred on Saturday morning on the premises belonging to Mr. ' Bowyer, a beershop-keeper, carrying on business at 13, John's-row, St. Luke's. The discovery was not made until the flames were ascending from the rooms behind the bar through the staircase. At that time the resi dents were in their beds asleep. The police on duty hav ing raised an alarm, they, after considerable trouble, succeeded in arousing the inhabitants, some of whom managed to leave the house in safety ; but upon two women and a boy reaching the staircase they were driven back by a huge sheet of flame, and were nearly suffo cated with hot smoke before they could get back to their bedroom. Having, however, regained their apartment, they opened the window and called for help, and whilst in this position the heated smoke entered in such dense bodies that they expected momentarily to fall a prey to the fire. As a last expedient they got out of the win dow, and were seen hanging to the sill. At that moment John Waken arrived, with the St. Luke's fire escape belonging to the Royal Society for the Preservation of Life from Fire. He immediately adjusted the apparatus, and brought down, amidst the applause of the bystand ers, the two females and boy, and thereby prevented a sacrifice of three lives. The engines of the parish and two of the London brigade attended as quickly as pos sible, and a plentiful supply of water having been pro cured, the firemen, strangers, and inmates succeeded in extinguishing the fire, but not until considerable damage was done, that part of the premises in which the out break began being burnt out, and the remainder severely injured by the flames. - Unfortunately, the sufferer's stock in trade, &c., we re not insured, but the- b u ildi ng was insured in the West of England office. The origin of the disaster is not known. A FAST VESSEL.—SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.—The clipper ship Flying Cloud, Captain Cressy, which goes to sea this morning at daylight, for Hong Kong, will at that time have been 97 days and 13 hours from New York. During this time she has made her passage from New York to San Francisco, discharged her cargo and taken in ballast, and is ready to start on the return pas sage. She is but 2 years and 11 months old, and during that that time has performed two voyages round the world, one to San Francisco and back to New York, and is now on her way on her third voyage round the world. Her first trip to San Francisco was made in 89 days and 21 hours, and her last one in 39 days and 8 hours, a difference of but 13 hours, exhibiting the fact that the sailing qualities of this vessel can be made the subject of calculation. In our first edition of Saturday we were enabled to bring our account of the opening of the Crystal ' Palace up to the arrival of her Majesty at three o'clock. We now proceed to lay before our readers an account of what took place subsequent to that hour. Her Majesty was received at a private entrance prepared for her on the right of the grand transept by the directors of the company. Within, the cheers of the multitude outside proclaimed the fact, and at once there was a movement of height ened interest throughout the building. A short time previously the police had quietly made all the arrangements for giving full effect to the proces sion by clearing the broad avenue of the nave. When, therefore, preceded by the directors and sec retary of the company, and more especially ushered in by Mr. Laing and Sir Joseph Paxton, the Royal party appeared in the grand transept, the whole assemblage, rising to welcome them, thundered forth its cheers with electrical effect. They pro ceeded at once to the raised dais, where the Queen took up her position, with the King of Portugal and his Royal Highness the Duke of Oporto, the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Royal, and the Prin cess Alice on her right, and with his Royal High ness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary of Cambridge on her left. Behind stood the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke of *Wellington, the Earl of Breadalbane, the Marquis of Abercorn, the ladies in waiting, household officers, equerries, and other personages usually upon such occasions in attendance upon Royalty. They all appeared in full dress except her Majesty and the Royal chil dren, who wore morning costume. Scarcely had the illustrious party taken their places, and the cheers with which their arrival was welcomed sub sided, when the music of the National Anthem was rolling in rich volumes of sound over the length and breadth of the Palace. The solo parts were sung by Clara Novello with most thrilling effect, while the reverberation of a Royal salute fired from the park served to mark with an additional gran deur the powers of the great orchestra and chorus. Never, perhaps, was this noble anthem heard with more overwhelming effect. When the performance of the National Anthem had terminated Mr. Laing came forward, and, having ascended the steps of the dais, though still " standing afar off," read to her Majesty the following address : " May it please your Majesty graciously to accept the assurance of our devoted loyalty and attachment to your Throne and person, and of our gratitude for the kind condescension with which your Majesty has con sented to honour with your presence the ceremony of this day. "Among the many memorable events of your Ma jesty's happy reign, the Great Exhibition of 1851 occu pied a prominent place. The idea, for which the nine teenth century was indebted to your illustrious consort, Prince Albert, of an Exhibition open to the products of all industries and of all nations, marked of itself an era in the annals of civilisation. It marked the disap pearance of old commercial jealousies and international prejudices, before the combining influence of modern science, and the liberal spirit of modern legislation. " The realisation of tins idea was worthy its con ception. An entirely novel order of archir4 , 4 ire, pro clueing, by means of unrivalled mechanicai ' Igenuity, the most marvellous and beautiful effects, sprung into existence to provide a building. In this building, a col lection of the choicest products of all that the human intellect contrives, and the human hand executes, was exhibited during a period of six months, for the instruc tion and delight of assembled millions. " The conduct of these millions was, of itself, one of the most remarkable features of this great event. The per fect order and decorum which prevailed, the enlightened interest and ready appreciation which were displayed, afforded the most conclusive refutation of the prejudice which regarded the industrious masses of our English nation with mistrust, and represented them as rude, des titute of refinement, insensible to the humanising influ ences of art, and incapable of rational and enlightened enjoyment. "The Great Exhibition of 1851 afforded a conclusive proof, by the enlightened interest and ready appreciation which were displayed, that the people of England wero prepared to receive instruction when it was afforded to them, and to embrace whatever opportunities were given for the cultivation of taste and for the development of the instinctive love of the beautiful. " The establishment of this fact, and the recognition of the civilising influences so widely exerted by the Great Exhibition, led to a general feeling, when its re moval from Hyde-park became necessary, that some attempt should be made to perpetuate those influences in a more permanent form in another locality. " This undertaking, the inauguration of which your Majesty this day honours with your presence, oried nated in this feeling—Private enterprise, appealed to in the interests of civilisation, supplied the funds. The men whose names had acquired European ability in con nection with the Crystal Palace of 1851, placed their services at the disposal of the directors in their respec tive departments. The enlightened patronage of Roy alty, the sympathy and support of public opinion, the generous co-operation of distinguished men in science and art, urged on the undertaking and impressed it with a national character. The liberality of foreign governments threw open every museum, and afforded facilities never before known for acquiring a com plete series of the finest works of ancient and modern art. "Thus aided and encouraged, the original idea ex panded into wider dimensions. It was resolved to attempt the creation of a palace and park which should be at once a fitting ornament of the greatest metropolis of the civilised world—an unrivalled school of art and "I receive with much pleasure the loyal and dutifu address which you have presented to me upon the pre sent occasion. "It is a source of the highest gratification to myself and to the Prince, my Consort, to find that the Great Exhibit ion o f 1851, which was so happily inaugurated under our auspices, suggested the idea of this magnifi cent undertaking, which has produced so noble a monu ment of the g en i us , sc i ence, and enterprise of my su bj ec t s. It is my earnest wish and hope that the bright anti cipations which have been formed as to its future destiny may, under the blessing of Divine Providence, be com pletely realised ; an d t h at this wonderful structure, and the treasures of art and knowledge which it contains, may long continue to elevate and instruct, as well as to delight and amuse, the minds of all classes of my people." Mr. Fuller, as man ag i ng di rector, then had the honour of presenting to her Majesty a fine series of medals struck by Messrs. T. R. Pinches and Co., to commemorate the opening. Mr. Laing again addressed her Majesty, and said— " May it please your Majesty, —Sir Joseph Paxton, to whose genius we are indebted for the design of the palace, park, and waterworks, will now, with your Ma. jesty's permission, have the honour of presenting the general hand-book descriptive of this undertaking, an undertaking which owes its existence in so great a de gree to the unparalleled zeal and ability with which he has superintended its progress. When Sir Joseph, who was loudly cheered by the assemblage, and favoured with a most gracious recognition from the Queen, had presented his hand book, the Chairman said-- "May it please your Majesty,—Mr. Owen Jones, who, in conjunction with Mr. Digby Wyatt, brought toge ther the treasures of art in this building, and who has presided over its artistic decoration, will now, with your Majesty's permission, have the honour of presenting handbooks describing the Egyptian, the Greek, the Roman, and the Alhambra Courts, and the Courts of Modern Sculpture, works executed under his immediate -superintendence. The names of those who have mainly contributed to the perfection of those works are recorded in the various handbooks." Mr. Owen Jones, having presented his hand books, Mr. Laing spoke in the following terms of Mr. Digby Wyatt "May it please your Majesty,—Mr. Digby Wyatt, who has shared with Mr. Owen Jones the responsibilities of the department of art throughout the undertaking, and whose restoration of the Pompeian-house and series of courts illustrating the progress of Christian art are among its chief ornaments, will now, with your Ma jesty's permission, have the honour of presenting hand books descriptive of these works. In them he has re corded the names of those from whom he has received most assistance in his labours." Mr. Samuel Phillips, in presenting his handbooks to her Majesty, was thus spoken of by the Chair man : " May it please your Majesty—Mr. Samuel Phillips, the director of our literary department, whose name is honourably associated with efforts for the diffusion of popular literature, will now, with your Majesty's per mission, have the honour of presentir , the remaining , series of our general handbooks, which have been pre pared under his eye, and front whose hands some have proceeded. " Among the latter may be specially mentioned a handbook containing short biographical sketches to ac company the very complete series of busts of remarkable men of ancient and modern times which has been brought together in this building. " The directors trust that these handbooks will be found to constitute not the least important of the edu cational means which they hope to make gradually useful to the public." Of Mr. Fergusson Mr. Laing said— " May it please your Majesty,---The discovery by an English traveller in the East of a gorgeous palace of long forgotten kings buried under mounds of rubbish—the identification of those kings with the race of Assyrian conquerors mentioned in Holy Scripture—are events which strike every reflecting mind with reverential won der. This palace, restored under our crystal roof in all its ancient splendour, carries us back from the midst of the 19th century to the days of Sennacherib. " Mr. Fergussen, who has superintended this resto ration, will now, with your Majesty's permission, have the honour of presenting a handbook, written by Mr. Layard, in whioh this interesting memorial of bygone ages is fully described." In presenting Professor Owen and Mr. Water house Hawkins Mr. Laing expressed himself thus :-- "May it please your Majesty,—The restoration from a single fossil fragment of complete skeletons of creatures long since extinct, first effected by the genius of Cuvier, has always been considered one of the most striking achievements of modern science. " Our British Cuvier, Professor Owen, has lent us his assistance in carrying these scientific triumphs a step further, and bringing them down to popular apprehen sion. "Aided by the zealous and indefatigable exertions of Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins, who with his own hand moulded their forms, the gigantic iguanodon, the icthyo saurus, and other monsters of the antediluvian world will now present themselves to the eye as they once disported themselves and pursued their prey amid the forests and morasses of the secondary and tertiary periods. " In the illustrations of geological strata the directors have had the valuable assistance of Professor Anated. "Professor Owen, with your Majesty's permission, will now have the honour of presenting the handbook in which this department of our undertaking is de scribed." The last presentations were those of Dr. Latham and Professor Forbes, who were supported by Mr. Waterhouse, Mr. Gould, and Mr. Thomson, and of whom Mr. Laing said— " May it please your Majesty,—Dr. Latham and Pro instrument of education—and a monument worthy the fessor Forbes will now, with your Majesty's permission, age, and of the British empire. have the honour of presenting the handbook which de "lt was hoped to prove that the spirit of a free scribes the attempt made to illustrate the sciences of people can not only create wealth, extend commerce and natural history, comprising ethnology, zoology, and colonies, and take the lead in every department of moral botany, by representations of characteristic groups of and material progress, but can at the same time rival the different races of the human family, surrounded by ap proudest works of absolute monarchs, lavishing the re- p ro priate illustrations of the animal and vegetable world. sources of nations in the decoration of a favourite reel- "Dr. R.

While we contemplate the The splendid chorus of Hallelujah followed, and a grander performance we never heard before. The Queen and Prince Albert, as well as the Royal personages who surrounded her, repeatedly turned to the vocalists and musicians, as if astounded at the wonderful and successful effect they produced. When the music ceased, the Marquis of Bread albane, the Lord Chamberlain, came forward and announced that it was the wish of her Most Gra cious Majesty, that the Crystal Palace of 1854 should now be declared open. Thereupon a tre mendous burst of applause proceeded from every portion of the building, and rent the air with its echo—the orchestra threw all their energies into " God Save the Queen," during the performance of which her Majesty retired. The cheering was renewed again and again, un til the procession disappeared. After remaining a few minutes in the prettily fitted-up ante-room, which had been prepared for her reception, her Majesty, leaning on the arm of the King of Por tugal, walked to her carriage, which was in waiting at the centre transept, and on entering it was greeted in the same enthusiastic manner by the crowd outside. The Royal party occupied three or four open carriages, which were escorted by a small detach ment of Guards. Her Majesty wore a light blue muslin dress with white lace mantle, and a white silk bonnet, trimmed with pink flowers. The dress of the Princess Royal was equally simple, being of a light pink muslin, with a plain white lace mantle, and white silk bonnet without any ornament whatever. The King of Portugal and his brother appeared ix a blue military dress with gold lace epaulets. The barriers which had kept the nave and tran sept clear having been thrown open, the public were allowed to circulate freely throughout the palace and park, and of this privilege a large pro portion of those present availed themselves, for it was late, and evening was closing in before all had departed. THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL. Lord John Russell's appointment to the office of President of the Council is gall and wormwood to pseudo-Liberals and re-actionary Tories. The invete rate malignity displayed in the newspaper organs of these cliques on Saturday, though melancholy as tendi❑g to lower one's opinion of human nature, has also its ludicrous side—its toothless mumbling, its combined eagerness and incapacity to bite. There is also something provocative of mirth in the exact coincidence in the cavils of the professing friends of freedom, who hold a brief from Russia, and the blatant adherents of oligarchical corruption, who have been making Lord Aberdeen's Russian sympathies their great card to play against him. These two factions have been scratching and calling each other names for months past ; but their common fear of Lord John Russell now makes them rail against him in har monious concert. Their tirades are real compliments to the new President of the Council. Nothing could have inspired them but the consciousness that though earnest Reformers may often quarrel with Lori John Russell, yet on the whole there is no living statesman who, taking him altogether, enjoys to such an extent the confidence of sincere Liberals of all shades of opinion —confidence earned by a loyal and consistent adherence to principle, unhappily too rare in the House of Com mons. Of course the cause of their spleen is carefully concealed by the Peelites, the Tories, and pseudo-liberals who do Tory work ; the pretexts they have been obliged to invent, in order to assign a reason for their snarling, are sufficiently amusing. A Conservative print, worthy of notice, since it so faithfully mirrors the feelings of its party, is indignant at Lord John Russell's appointment, not because he has carried one Reform measure and attempted another ; but because that staunch Whig, Mr. Strutt, has been shelved amid the various transposals in office which that appointment has led to. We have no reason to believe that the arrangement complained of has been made without first informing Mr. Strutt and obtaining his as• sent, or that he is in any way annoyed at it ; but be this as it may, there can be no doubt that he thoroughly un derstands and justly appreciates the sincere and disin terested sympathy of the Conservative worthies who are raising a kind of Irish death-howl over his official prat. pects. - The Coryphseus of the malcontents, however, is that ultra-Russian champion the Times. Every cavil that has been urged against the appointment of Lord John to preside over the Council, by the host of Tapers and Tad poles, is caught up, and repeated with exaggerated em phasis, by this consistent and liberal journal. The first ob jection of the Times rests upon a question of etiquette wor thy of a gentlernan-usher. The office has hitherto been cus to manly filled by a peer, and " such departures from ancient constitutional usage are not t o b e recommen d e d unless they are ju s t i fi e d by obvious public utility ; and Lord John Russell should be the last man to break through these traditions, when no case of public utility can be said to require it." If the office has been usually or uniformly filled by a peer, the reason has not beea that there was any greater fitness or utility in placing it in a member of the Upper House than a member of the Lower. The truth is, that from the time of the Revolution until very recently (when the President of the Council was declared ex officio chairman of some im portant Ministerial committees) the office was more one of form than real work, and therefore better adapted for some peer of more social influence than talent, than for the practical statesmen trained in the rough contests of the Commons. The reason why Lord John has been appointed to it is, that its almost en tire exemption from departmental labours leaves him more free for his onerous duties of Parliamentary Leader, and that it at the same time gives him a more definite ministerial character than a mere seat in the Cabinet without even a nominal department. Perhaps some persons may entertain a notion that the dignity of the office is lowered by conferring it upon a commoner, but these worshippers of the peerage may console themselves with the reflection that even a cadet of the house of Bed ford is a more aristocratic personage than the wearer of many a mushroom c orone t. B u t th e piety of the T i me has been even more outraged than its delicate sense of courtly etiquette by the Presidency of Lord John Rus sell. The Times is shocked to see the department of public education entrusted to a Minister " who is to this day the head of the Dissenters' Education Society." In the columns of a "Church and State" newspaper such an appeal to sectarian influence, whatever its character in other respects, would probably have been an honest expression of sincere bigotry ; but who can attribute such a character to it when found in the column of the Times? There is not one educated gen tleman among our High Churchmen but must feel out raged by the vulgar hypocrisy of this canting utterance of language whice would have been sincere if used by himself. This low and mean appeal to sectarian preju• dice, with a view to injure Lord John Russell, will, it be predicted, prove a total f a il ure . may safely The carpings of Lord John's enemies,—coming whence they do have a natural tendency to strengthen the c onfidence reposed in him by Liberals, and from the indirect glimpses with these attacks afford of what is passing in the minds of the w r it ers , Lib era l s may be inclined to attach more importance to his new ap• paint:tient than they have hitherto done. Though the office of President of the Council has little of onerous departmental duty attached to it, part of that duty is the presidency of the standing committee of the council on education. It is gratifying to see this impor tant charge devolve upon a tried Liberal deeply imbued with a taste for intellectual pursuits. Again, it has been customary in selecting a candidate for the office of Pre sident of the Council, to have regard chiefly to his qua lifications for preserving harmony and concert among his colleagues. Since the Premiership has come to be regarded as attached to the office of First Lord of the Treasury, the President of the Council has generally been de facto, though not ostensibl • a kind of deputy et Vice-Premier. H ere is the true ' source of the rancour which Lord John Russell's appointment to the office has elicited. H is Tory and pseudo-Liberal ill-willers look upon the conjunction of the Presidency of the Council with the L ea d ersh i p in the Commons as placing their holder, in respect of influence in the Cabinet, nearly, if not altogether, on a footing with the First Lord of the Treasury ; or as, at all events, giving the him a prior cl a i m t o th e revers i on o f t h a t office atfi rs t vacancy that occur s . It i s natural that g ss should all the enemies of popular principle and pr be irritated by this strengthening of re Lord John Russell's position in the Cabinet. But this very consi deration ought to teach Liberals to see in his recent p• a pointnent a counteraction to a certain tendency to lapse more and more into obstructive Conservatism, of which various Ministerial movements have of late been alarm inely symptomatic. In short, the Peelite section of the Cabinet and their friends in the Press arc di s gusted to find the mnore Liberal half of the Coalition getting addi tional power. This consideration cannot be without its weight amen the City Reformers. True it was scarcely needed,—for the Tories, instead of mustering an opposition to Lord John seem entirely engrossed with the labour of invent ing plausible excuses for not contesting the eloctiop. There is every appearance that his return will bs unani mous and unopposed ; for even though it should enter • the wayward brain of some semi -lunatic or conceit* separatist to have himself put in nomination, such cater ing to the amusement of the electors assembled in Guild hall scarcely comes under the category of what can with 1 strict propriety be called opposition.—.
