The House of Lords met at Four o'clock, for the pur pose of hearing the Royal A ssent given by commission to certain Bills. Their Lordships re-assembled at Five. The Marquis of NORMANBY presented a petition from the parishioners of Oakingham complaining that they were prevented from repairing their parish church by the conduct of the Dean of Salisbury, who united in his own person the incongruous offices ,of Patron, Ordinary, and Rector. A pry entation cf petitions against the game-laws by _ _ Lurd CA,APBELL gave rise to an animated conversation on the subject of those laws, in which Lord DACRE' Lord HATHERTON, and the Earl Of STRADBROKE took part. Earl FITZWILLIAM, in presenting a petition against the Maynooth Bill, took occasion to state his dissent from the prayer of the petition, and his approval of the grant to Maynooth, which he looked upon as the pay ment of an instalment of the debt due to the Irish people His Lordship also expressed his approval of the Minis terial plan for establishing colleges in Ireland, and, in allusion to those who called it a scheme of Godless edu cation, said that they were persons of more enthusiasm than religion, who mistook names for things, and who must have forgotten their own university career ; for he would venture to declare that few of the lay members of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge ever attended the theological lectures, and at Oxford, on a recent occa sion, tile higher powers of the University bad recom mended students not to attend the lectures of the Pro fessor of Divinity. Several Bills having been forwarded a stage, their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons assembled at Four o'clock. The motion for bringing up the report on the Grand Junction Railway Bill being opposed by Mr. RICARDO, a short discussion ensued; after which, on a division, the Bill was rejected, the numbers being— Fur bringing up the report 73 Against it Majority against the Bill --133 Lord HowicK suggested the propriety of introducing come measure for regulating the charges on railways. Sir G. CLERK thought the question worthy the con sideration of the Board of Trade, but would not be pre pared to offer anything beyond a suggestion. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought the Board of Trade should take up the subject. On the motion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, the Se lect Committee was nominated to consider the case of HOWARD V. GOSSETT. Mr. B. OSBORNE moved for a return of all monies derived from rents of college lands, endowments, be quests, fees on matriculations, and taking of degrees ; specifying the amount of income paid therefrom to the senior and junior fellows, professors, scholars, and other officers of Trinity College, Dublin. In answer to Sir T. FREbIANTLE, who expressed a hope that the motion would be withdrawn, Mr. OSBORNE said, that he wished to see Trinity Col lege thrown open to all religious denominations, and should certainly press his motion, as he considered that such must be the result of inquiry. The motion, IN hich was seconded by Mr. WARD, was supported by Mr. HUME, Mr. WARBURTON, Mr, EWART, M. SHELL, Mr. BELLEW, Mr. M. GIBSON, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Lord J. RUSSELL, and Mr. BRIGHT; and opposed by Mr. SHAW, Sir T. FREMANTLE, Sir R. INGLIS, Sir R. PEEL, and Mr. COLQUHOUN. On a division the motion was negatived, the numbers being—For the motion, 53 ; against it, 82—majority against the motion, 29. The adjourned debate on the Maynooth Bill was then resumed by Sir H. W. BARRON, who supported the measure. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. Law son, the Hon. H. Cholmondeley, Mr. Ffolliott, Sir D. Norreys, Mr. Godson, Colonel Rawdon, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Gaskell, Mr. Bellew, and Sir R. Inglis; after which, upon the motion of Colonel Verner, the debate was adjourned. Among the orders of the day for the present week we perceive, with pleasure, some that bespeak, on the part of those who have moved them, a just appreciation of, and sympathy for, the interests and the comforts of the poorer classes of society. Of the latter, we may instance, for an example, the Committee on Mr. W. CowrEß's " Field Gardens Bill," appointed for the 23d instant, and upon the merits of which we have already expressed a strong opinion. To be sure—against the satisfaction which this entry in the House of Commons' paper affords us, we must set the orders for the second readings, respectively, of the " Commons' Inclosure' and the " Drainage of Lands" Bills. But we are so re luctant to believe that, at this time of day, the House can be brought to sanction measures of legislation so directly and arbitrarily interfering with the prescriptive rights and enjoyments of the poor, that we shall rather assume that these Bills are not destined to attain the maturity of law. Among orders of the day of the former character, namely, those which have regard to the inte rests of the poorer classes, we must notice with our hearty approbation— Ist, the intention of Mr. HOME to move in Committee on the Justices' Clerks and Clerks of the Pence Bill, " that all fees payable in criminal proceed ings shall, after the passing of such Bill, be abolished ;' and 2d, the contemplated proposal of Captain PECHELL . in the same Committee, to insert a clause in such Bill to disqualify magistrates' clerks from acting as agents for the election of Members of Parliament, and to provide that petty sessions shall not be held in inns or public houses. With regard to the payment of fees in criminal pro ceedings, we are not quite aware of the general scope and details of Mr. Humz's clause. But beyond all doubt it is the most cruel of all the anomalies that aro incor porated into the system of our criminal judicature, to exact fees either from the promoters or the objects of criminal proceedings, where the result is to establish the necessity for their institution. If that necessity be made out, the promoter is net merely justified, but he has performed a public duty in instituting such pro. ceedings. Why should he be mulcted in the costly charges he is liable to through preferring an indictment, when upon every principle of legal and municipal polity, he has done service to the commonweal by prosecuting the case ? We do not enter here into any considerations touching the liabilities, civil and even penal, a party unjustly or vexatiously instituting criminal proceedings ought to remain under. That is another and a wider question, and perhaps we are already going further than Mr. HustE will feel called upon to push his proposition, Nevertheless, the abstract principle undoubtedly is to be maintained to this extent. But to compel the party, against whom the criminal proceedings are set in motion, to pay fees in addition to the pecuniary fine, or other penalty, which he may be adjudged to suffer is a cruel absurdity, to be equalled only by that refinement of judi cial cruelty in the institutions of China, which requires the delinquent who has just been sentenced to be strangled or decapitated to return his acknowledgments to the Court for the justice it has been pleased to exer cise in his case ; and exacts of the sufferer under the recent discipline of the bamboo the additional suf fering of tendering his courteous thanks to the public executioner for the trouble which he has occa sioned to that august officer. In justice to the laws of the Chinese, however, we must own, in common fair ness, that the mockery and cruelty of insisting upon these compulsory civilities are equalled, at least, by the more studied hardship and insult of exacting fees for justices' clerks, or clerks of the peace, and other func tionaries, under the ostensible designation of " costs" in criminal informations under the game-laws, or on charges of trespass and damage under local and en closure Acts, or miserable cases of petty larceny, pilfer ings, such as prompts the houseless wayfarer perishing from cold and exposure to collect half-a-dozen dry twigs in a thicket where he finds them perhaps already blown down, in order to kindle a quasi fire under the shelter of some hedge side, wherewith to reanimate his shiver ing frame ; or the famishing pauper who purloins a couple of turnip s or potatoes to satisfy the intolerable cravings of his hunger. How often, in the course of last year only, were we called upon to animadvert on the barbarous a n d inhuman rigour with which country petty sessions inflicted costs to the tune of 400 or 500 per cent. and upwards more than the amount of the fines they inflicted— these fines being in themselves, though but a few shillings or even pence, utterly beyond the no-means of the wretched delinquents to pay. In higher courts of criminal juris.. diction the evil is in principle the same. So much the fine, so much more the costs ; or, imprisonment for such and such a term. The party can pay the fine, but not the costs ; the " vulgar arithmetic" of graduated terms of imprisonment squares the difference. If the case, and the criminal proceedings instituted after it, result in a conviction, why not let the sentence, whether it be one of imprisonment or fine—in short, of whatever kind, be complete and adequate to the offence? To " throw in" a burden of costs and fees is (as in this coun try happens in many instances) to push the vengeance of the law beyond the point which the law itself has pro posed to reach. Captain PECHELL'S intended clause is one of these which announce propositions that carry their own con firmation on the face of the terms in which they are expressed. That " magistrates' clerks should be disquali fied from acting as agents for the election of Members of Parliament," is a doctrine which no man conversant with the theory of our representative system, as an integer of the constitution, can venture to dispute. The character and business of an electioneering agent are those of a partisan professedly and professionally in terested. The office and function of a magistrate's clerk suppose, for their faithful and impartial discharge, an utter insensibility to all partisanship; an unwavering inaccessibility to all the interested objects and rewards of " agency." If the union of such incompatible occupa tions be permitted in one and the same person we may well suppose, indeed it is impossible not to believe, that the magistrates' clerk will be very open to impulses of un due favour to parties coming before that magistrate who are known supporters of the same political opinions and parties as himself ; and of undue prejudice agaireit, or resentment at, other parties coming before the same magistrate whose votes or good wishes will 13.: addressed in the support of antagonistic candi dates and opinions to those supported by such magistrate. The other proposal, to do away with the holding of petty sessions in inns or public. houses, is made with the best intentions, but we believe it would be difficult to carry it into effect. We have already adverted to the discussion which took place on Friday in the Commons relative to the state of the navy ; but it is a matter of too much im portance to be passed over without further notice, and we are glad to learn that the question will not he al lowed to rest where it is. The subject will probably be resumed on Friday next, or whenever the navy estimates are again brought forward. It is unnecessary, on this occasion, to dwell upon the paramount and indispensable necessity which exists for maintaining the navy in a condition capable of efficient extension at the shortest possible notice, and on a footing of present strength and preparation much beyond the ordinary scale of our peace establishments. To enter into any recapitulation of these reasons would be at one unnecessary and invidious. We take it, however, that there is scarcely one English man in the United Kingdom who would not support by his vote and sanction the fullest establishment of this constitutional force which may be necessary, having a prudent regard to the existing aspect of foreign relations. The fact is that men see we are perhaps on the verge of one of those political exigencies in which practical ex perience supplies the proof of constitutional theory, as to the readiest, the furthest reaching, the most formida ble, the most national arm of our strength. The navy is the common rallying point of men of all parties who are agreed in attachment to our constitution, whenever the honour and the welfare of the empire appear to be menaced, whether immediately or remotely. Yet to that navy, the nation, indebted as she is to it for her most substantial suc cesses and progress, as well as her most illustrious triumphs, has been but a harsh stepmother ; fond enough of its glory, so conducive to her own greatness, but niggardly and reluctant, withal, in making commen surate provision for its maintenance on a scale of com mensurate liberality. " Britannia," in truth, has, from time to time, manifested something like a cold neglect in her habitual deportment to this, the noblest of her chil dren. But when she has found it indispensable to invoke its protection and its power, in order to vindicate her rights or her authority, she has unhesitatingly thrown herself into its arms, and rendered it all honour in the sight of nations. The great mischief appears to be that that consideration and cherishing affection, which ought to be permanent and continuous, have hitherto been in termittent. It is not the least of the elements that have constituted the good fortune of this empire, that such a capricious and interrupted treatment has but in a very slight degree estranged the affections of such a progeny. But let her learn caution by the past, and have sonic better hold on their affections for the future, by a wiser and a more generous course of action. The upholding of our navy should be at all times the foremost care of the Legislature, the most anxious duty of the Executive. We are glad to observe that Mr. WIL LIAMS, representing as he does a section of the House of Commons which is pledged to the most rigorous eco nomic supervision of the public expenditure, declared, "If the Government considered it expedient, in reference to the state of our foreign relations, to increase the navy, he would not oppose that increase, for whatever tended to enhance its efficiency he looked upon as the truest economy." Had this observation preceded the speech of Captain BERKELEY, it would have served as an admirable text for the observations of that Hon. and Gallant Officer.. For what was their eject ? Simply to prove that in the system of manning our ships of war (line-of-battle ships more especially) the Board of Admiralty adopt a false principle of economy as to ex pense, and a destructive principle as to efficiency. In expressing the surprise with which he had listened to Sir GEORGE COCKBURN'S declaration of a former evening, " that he could at present man the navy well with good seamen," the Gallant Officer referred to the proof of his own consistency in deprecating the system he was now denouncing by refusing to act with his col leagues at the Admiralty under the last Whig Govern ment, because they would persist in the vicious practice which he found the present Board adopting after practically repudiating it. This practice was, the sending out men-of-war in time of peace with what was called a " peace complement." Than this absurdity of two complements for a man-of war, nothing could be more absurd. " A war comple ment" should be superseded by the phrase " a proper complement." But it is the more surprising (as the Member for Gloucester argued), that this plan of capri ciously undermanning ships of the line should have been recurred to by the present Admiralty Board, when, on a reference made by the Whig Board, of which he had been a member, to the ablest and most distinguished officers in the service, their concurrent opinion had been reported against such a scheme; and it was by these officers declared that the true basis of any scheme for manning ships of war should be this:—" That the numerical amount arid capacity of the crew should be in proportion to the number of guns and the weight of metal." The reasonableness of this principle is so ap parent that it is difficult to imagine how any Admiralty Board could ever have departed from it. But it is ab solutely astonishing—and even deplorable —to note with what sort of arguments Sir GEORGE COCKBURN at tempted to justify the cases in which there has recently been admitted departures from it, whilst he acknow ledged its truth, soundness, and necessity. Now it is a principle which the welfare of this coun try is more deeply interested in vigilantly maintaining than away to a casual observer be apparent, on its mere enunciation. The infraction of this prin ciple has a direct and positive tendency to disgust the service ; and we are, therefore, sorry that Capt. BERKE LEY did not call upon the House of Commons, by an affirmative resolution, to pledge itself to its practical ob servance. We cannot sufficiently condemn their appeals to the excitement of popular feeling in Ireland, which endeavours to enforce her claims to more extensive inea sures of remedial and equalising legislation, by me nacing suggestions of the amount of defection which would be witnessed in the ranks of our army, and from the strength of our ships' crews, in the event of a war breaking out before those measures shall have been granted. We have ever advocated, in the most exten sive sense of the phrase, " justice to Ireland" through the extension to her of all the full rights of an integral member of the Union. But wo as little believe that the denial of "repeal" will exercise any such disorganising influence on the Irish contingents of our army and navy as that it will withdraw one Irish workman from the yards of our builders, masons, and bricklayers, or any other of the numerous crafts and laborious avocations in which their spirited industry has always prompted them to earn a hard, but honest, subsistence, rather than abandon themselves to squalid indolence and destitution at home. We know enough, however, of the sentiments of the British seaman, English, Dutch, or Irish, to feel the most serious apprehensions as to what the inevitable tendencies must be if such inexcusable disregard for his comforts, his feelings, his just demands, as that which were, incidentally established against the Admi ralty in several very significant cases mentioned by Captain BERKELEY and Sir CHARLES NAPIBR. If pro ceedings of this nature should be any longer persevered in, the utter disgust they will occasion to the service will be evidenced in its utter loss of all attachment and loyalty to the cause it has hitherto carried to triumph and to victory over every sea. Let us advert to a few of these facts. When the Albion (90) was last fitted out under Captain Locicrmt, for the experimental squadron in the Channel, she carried a crew of from 800 to 830 men; We have accounts from Madrid to the 11th inst. The Government papers announce that friendly relations have been fully established between the Court of Madrid and his HOLINESS, and that a disFatch had been received from the Spanish Ambassador at Rome, conveying the grati fying intelligence that the concordat had been signed on the 27th of April, by which the POPE acknowledges Queen ISABELLA, and sanctions the sales of Church property. The same journals state that the treaty of commerce between Spain and Morocco had been ratified by the EMPEROR. The Chamber of Deputies had passed the budget of receipts and the Bill for raising a loan to improve public roads. The Bourse was closed on Whit- Monday. The Paris papers bring no news of importance. A letter from Switzerland, however, conveys intelligence from Lucerne of a satisfactory nature. None of the prisoners condemned for their share in the late unfortu nate transactions will suffer capital punishment, and a decision to that effect has been intimated by the Council to the Vorort. The Government of that canton states that it is disposed to deal mercifully with the prisoners and spare the life of Dr. STEIGER, on condition that he be transported to America. The Vorort had announced the fact to the French Govern ment, and at the same time proposed that France should convey STEIGER and some others to such a destination. The answer of the French Cabinet was, that France could not undertake such an office, but there would be no objection to give a free passage to America on board a French ship of war to Dr. STEIGER and his com panions. Some of the Paris journals state that a deputa tion of workmen had waited upon M. DE LAMARTINE, to congratulate him upon the speech which ho had made against the fortifications of Paris, to which the eloquent Deputy made a suitable reply. The following extract from it displays both good sense and public spirit : " Was the city of liberty walled up when the country, threatened by the coalition of kill's at Pilnite, appealed, not to stones and ce ment as is now the case, but to the hearts and arms of the Parisians, and when your fathers, quitting their workshops, went and de fended their capital, not at Montmartre or at Mont Valerien, but on all the fields of battleand in all the capitals of the coalition ? Your lag was not then stuck immoveable, and, as it were, rooted in the ramparts of your city ; it floated free in the winds of glory over the whole continent and on all seas ! Ido not say this to kindle in you a brutal impatience for war. No, men of labour and intelligence, we must be, in this age, men of peace, and if I have sometimes de fended and honoured this Government, whose errors and evil ten. deocies I alone combat, it is because amidst many faults, it will at least have in history the merit of having been a reign of peace. If ever the fortifications should inspire those who shall hereafter possess them with any evil intentions, there exists an artillery which can struggle with these cannon. It is public spirit, it is public opinion. There exists no physical power that can stand the explosion of the soul of a great nation. Let us avoid, you by your prudence, we by our honest warnings, these explosions and revolutions which are lawful only when there remains no more good sense in the councils of Governments, no more legality in their pro ceedings, and no more patience in the hearts of the people."

MADAME ANNA THILLON.—We have been re quested to give insertion to the following letter : " Portland Hotel, May 20, 1845. "MY DEAR SIR,—It is impossible to express the re gret I feel for the inconvenience to which I have un avoidably subjected you, as well as for any disappoint• ment to the public, by whom .1 have been so generously received. I am, how:l , -(T, happy to announce to you my gradual recovery, and that I shall be quite prepared to appear on Friday next.—l am, my dear sir, yours, very truly, _ " ANNA THILLON." "To Alfred Bunn, Esq., Drury-lane Theatre." BATHS AND WASH -HOUSES FOR THE LABOURING CLASSES.-A deputation, consisting of Mr. Cotton and Mr. William Hawes, the Chairman and Deputy-Chair man, and others, including Mr. Baly, the civil engineer to the Committee, had the honour of an interview at Buckingham Palace, on Monday, with his Royal High ness Prince Albert, to submit to his examination the model and drawings for the proposed first establishment, which is intended to be erected in Whitechapel. His Royal Highness took great interest in the subject, and expressed an earnest wish for the success of the scheme, of which, and of the plans, he expressed his approbation. THE CANADA C ORN BILL.—A letter from Upper Canada, dated about the end of March, says—" The decline of price in flour makes us very anxious here, and though we shall send over some thousand barrels, nothing but a change in the market will make it other than a tight match to make both ends meet." The present English price of dour is evidently running the Canadian exporters bard. but she was dispatched to Lisbon with a complement 100 short of that number. Now, though Lisbon could scarcely be considered a foreign station, Captain LOCKYER had to " look at" the French squadron off the coast of Africa. Had an actual collision unhappily taken place, what plea of justification could have availed those who would have placed Captain LOCRYER in such a position, with a crew at least 100 men short of its com plement ? But when these experimental squadrons are fitted out how happens it that it is so exceedingly difficult to find able seamen for them ? Because—and the fact was broadly admitted by Sir GEORGE COCKBURN—there being no provision adopted for securing the services of able seamen at the time of their being paid off for any future emergency, it is found a labour of the most difficult and protracted character to get together again any number of them. They have entered the merchant service to escape from utter destitution ; or, for want of employment and patronage at home, have taken service at higt , er wages with foreign Powers. The few able seamen that are entered on. hoard an experimental ship know beforehand that all the hard work will fall upon them,—excessive duty in proportion to their superior capacity to discharge it ; but all this increased liability and labour are unaccompanied with any increase of pay or emolument ? Are these conditions likely to operate in any other way with able seamen but to deter them from engaging ? In further illustration of this crying evil—the deficiency of able seamen—we may mention what happened to Capt. BERKELEY himself. In 1836 he was appointed to the command of the Hercules. The Asia, and other ships, were being equipped at the same time, and the utmost difficulty was experienced in obtaining, men. At length the captains of ships in course of man ning were directed to receive men from the Coast Guard. Capt. BERKELEY remonstrated against this order, re marking " that those men • were not worthy of their rating." When the Hercules left Sheerness, although she had ostensibly her full complement of men, there were not more than twelve among them who could steer the ship, nor above seven who could be trusted to take soundings ! Is this a condition for the men-of-war of Great Britain to be sailed under ? The vast exten for which the modern application of steam and machinery to navigation both superseded the practical seamanship and experience of all weathers which the navy used to meet with in its ready draughts from the Scotch smacks, the Irish " wherries," the passenger-coasting vessels of our own shores, and the body of the Thames' watermen, is so obvious and so efficient a cause of this diminution of the supply of able seamen, accustomed to work ship ping in all weathers, under every disadvantage of bad seasons, and dangerous coasts, and therefore in a school certain to form them to habits of smart and ready sea manship, that the evil complained of ought long ago to have caused provision to be made for its own remedy. Inducements in the shape of premiums ought to have been already established to keep our able seamen within available reach when required. So lately as 1840, when Sir CHARLES NAPIER commanded a squadron, and Captain BERKELEY sailed under his orders, they were warned that they might have a collision with the French fleet, and yet sailed with "peace complements," as they were called! Captain BERKELEY closed his exposition of the defects most prominent in the Admiralty management by ad verting to one cause of the deficiency of seamen, of which the Admiralty were, he considered, rather as the unwilling ministerial agents, than the voluntary pro moters. It seems that when a ship is paid off the captain is desired to recommend, out of his men, those of the best character for the Coast Guard. Once entered into that they are for ever lost to the navy ; for not only do they remain on shore, and after the usual time become entitled to pensions, but they lose all that they could ever boast of able seamanship. We go all the lengths with Captain BERKELEY in holding that this branch of ser vice, though appropriated to purposes of revel ie pro tection, should be under the control of the Admiralty ; but, in supporting his further opinion, that these Coast Guard men ought to be available for general service, whenever called upon, we are inclined to go some what beyond his proposition, that on quitting the general service again they should have the option of re-entering the Coast Guard. But the view we have to submit on this and other points in connexion with the remedies applicable to the very serious evils brought under the notice of the Legislature on Friday evening last, we shall postpone till to-morrow, when we shall take occasion to advert to the defence of the Admiralty set up by Sir G. Cocxnunst, and the very just remarks —and what is more, the very feasible propositions, as we think them—briefly opened by Sir C. NAPIER, for obviating the "short supply" of able seamen in future, and ensuring at all times a ready levy of them. It does nut strike us that topics of more vital importance to the character and welfare of our navy, and therefore to the safety and grandeur of this country, have been more satisfactorily discussed for many sessions. We see in the temperate and earnest tone of all parties a consoling augury of intended and immediate improvement in the administration of the interests confided to the Board of Admiralty —at all times vast—now every day becoming of paramount magnitude and influence.

The hasty glance which we had yesterday of a few of the mercantile letters received from the Brazils precluded a refer. ence to a topic of some importance, namely, the probable course that would be adopted with respect to the right of search, the treaty for - which purpose, we believe, has already ceased. It is understood that the Brazilian Govern ment intend to take the whole right of search upon its own hands, and if private information is to be be lieved, with a sincere desire on its part to put down, by every possible means, the inhuman traffic. The mercantile classes of the Brazils were extremely sore at the policy of this Go vernment with respect to the sugar question, and, as might have naturally been expected, British manufactures were looked upon with considerable hesitation. We may notice the calling in of Exchequer-bills to a very large amount, issued for public works, such bills to be received on the 17th of next month, when interest will cease. There is to be no alteration in the rate of interest payable upon new bills, which may be taken in lieu of those cancelled. In the present state of the market for the unfunded debt, it is not likely that many holders of securities so called in will take money, especially as the rate of interest continues on first class securities not higher than 2jeper cent. Dates to the 26th of March have been received from the Cape of Good Hope, but they convey nothing later respect ing the affairs of the frontier or Natal. Accounts from Algoa Hay state that the Homer was load ing fast at the Bird Islands, having upwards of 100 tons of guano on board in the short time she has been there, besides discharging her ballast. It speaks well of the anchorage for safety and facility for loading. Captain Duthie, of the Harriet, has been down to the islands, and speaks most highly of them ; he says he would sooner load there twice or thrice that once at Ichaboe, he having loaded at the latter place. The Funds have been very firmly maintained again to-day, and this too with a comparatively dull market. Consols have been 99 1 4% for present Transfer, and the same for Time.

THE QUEEN'S STATE BALL.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester took her departure soon af ter twelve o'clock. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent and the Duke of Cambridge, returned to the ball-room from supper. Immediately on the return of the illustrious party, a Scotch reel was danced, in which the following noble men and gentlemen joined, viz.!-- The Marquis of Douglas, Lord Gleulyon, Viscount Reidhaver, Captain the Hon. James Murray, Hon. Cap tain Drummond (Strathallan), Captain Drummond M•Guish, and Major Moray, of Abercaerney. Several ladies also joined the reel. Her Majesty's piper, Mr. Mackay, was in attendance in the ball-room, and played a Highland reel, and the Reel of Tulloch. Her Majesty and Prince Albert afterwards passed from the ball-room to the throne-room. Her Alajesty danced in several quadrilles in the course of the night. The Queen and Prince Albert left the state apartments nt a quarter before two o'clock, the band playing the National Anthem. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duke of 'Cambridge, and Prince George took their departure from the Palace at the same time Dancing ceased soon afterwards. 'rho Guard Chamber was lighted on this occasion by a rich cut glass lustre, fitted with gas, on Faraday' s ventilating principle, emitting a brilliant light, and with out any noxious products of combustion in the apartment.. . . His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Mr. George Edward Anson, went yet , terday morning to the office of the Duchy of Cornwall in Somerset House. His Royal Highness rude out on horseback in the after noon. Mr. L. Gruner had the honour of submitting to the Queen and Prince Albert yesterday, the drawings which he has been collecting in Italy for the Government School of Design at Somerset House. Her Majesty, attended by the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Lady in Waiting, took an ai r i ng i n a car riage yesterday. Lord Charles Wellesley, Equerry in Waiting, was in attendance on horseback. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, honoured the Italian Opera with their presence, yesterday evening.

The Countess of Mount Edgecumbe has succeeded the Marchioness of Douro as the Lady in Waiting to the Queen, and Lord Byron has succeeded Viscount Sydney as the Lord in Waiting to her Majesty. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken airings yesterday in the royal gardens of Buckingham Palace. The Queen and Prince Albert inspected yesterday the magnificent vase intended to be presented by h er Ma jesty at the ensuing Ascot Races, which was submitted by Mr. Garrard. The body is of a globular form, bear ing enrichments of the Shamrock, Rose, and Thistle, with the inscriptions. The stem is in the Eliza bethan style, having grouped round it, the royal supporters, with the arms, crowns, and helmets cf her Majesty and Prince Albert. On the cover is a highly finished group representing . the legend of Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunting, that por tion of the history being selected when the spectre stag appears to Hubert, bearing the cross between its antlers ; the affrighted huntsman at once falls upon his knees to the vision, while his horse, unconscious of what is pass ing, is quietly grazing on the bank, and his hounds are reposing by the side of their master. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden, visited her 'Majesty the Queen Dowager yesterday, at Marlborough-house. His iloyal Highness the Duke of Cambridge visited the Queen Dowager on Monday. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a meeting yesterday afternoon, at the office in Whitehall. place.

Sr/I,—ln the first page of the •Salisbss ry Journal (now in my possession), dated Monday, June 7th, 1756, is the following an. nouncement:—" We hear that in a few days a gentleman is to perform an experiment before his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, his Grace the Duke of Marlborough, and Lord Anson, of an invention of the great Marquis of Worcester, but highly improved by himself, which is of a composition to be fired from a oannon, and can be thrown ten miles, by which he proposes, by being stationed in a ship at the mouth of any harbour, to destroy every ship is it."—Yours respectfully, Newport, Isle of Wight, May 19, 1845. E. W. Mr. Wilson continues his entertainments at the Music Hall with undiminished success. Monday night he gave " Anither Nicht wi' Burns," being a sequel to the former " Nicht," all the songs of which were sung and acted wi th this favourite vo. oalist's usual thrilling style. He announced that his " Morning Entertainments," at the Queen's Concert Rooms, commence to day, where he had such fashionable audiences last season; we doubt not but they will be equally successful this time. THE SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR HAMPSTEAD.— Mrs. Cunningham, the wife of the unfortunate man who was found dead in a ditch at Hampstead, states that when he left home on Thursday evening he had with him a pair of silver spectacles, which he purchased at Mr. Woodward's, the optician, of Clement's Inn-passage, and gave 28s. for them. As neither these nor his hat have as yet been found, it strengthens the suspicions that some foul play has been practised towards him. Shortly before he was last seen by his friends, he called at the shop of his employer, Mr. Moody. of the Strand, and inquired respecting a coat which he had to make, promising shortly to return. Although he was noticed by several persons in the neighbourhood of Hampstead upon the Friday afternoon, he is known to have bee , i seen in corn. pany with two men in Russell-square, as late as half-past eight on the same evening; at that time he had a small stick with him, and was apparently the worse for liquor. His master, by whom he had been employed between thirteen and fourteen years, gives him a most excellent character. Deceased was a native of Yarmouth, and has left a widow and two children, the eldest a boy about twelve years of age. A correspondent states that the Rev. Dr. Collyer has presented a donation of 51. to that valuable institution the Metropolitan Benefit Societies Asylum, in which Lord Robert Grosvenor takes so warm an interest. THE HA MARKET TH LATRE.— DOUGLAS JERROLD'S COMEDY.—Time Works Wanders continues to draw crowded houses every evening. As the actors get used to their parts it goes, to make use of a technical expression, much better The salient points are brought into stronger relief, and the wit is made to tell more effectively than was possible on the first night. Webster sustains poor Strickland's part of Professor Truffles, and sustains it admirably. The comedy will run 100 nights. ABORIGINES PROTECTION SOCIETY.—The annual general meeting of the Aborigines Protection Society was held on Monday morning, in Crosby Hall, Bish o p sgate-street. Mr. James I Bell, the treasurer of the society, presided, in the absence of J. S. Gurney, Esq. There ware not above thirty person' present, in. eluding three Indians—two from North America and one from South America. The report was read by the Rev. S. J. Freeman. It was of some length, and entered into very minute details of the progress made by the society in some quarters, while from a great many very distant parts, where they possessed agents or mission. aries, no reports had been received. It also alluded to the very inefficient state of the society's funds, the reeseipts being so small as to render it utterly impossible to carry out the objects for which it was instituted. The society had deprived itself .f offices, and of the services of a salaried secretary, to possess a larger fund for general purposes. No financial account was presented to the meeting, because the subscriptions had not been all received. The report was adopted upon the motion of the Rev. J. Burnett, of Camberwell, seconded by Peter Jones, Esq., who Is an Indian chief, from Canada, and who rejoices in his own country in the jaw. breaking name of Kahkcwaquonaby. Other resolutions ware subsequently passed, urging upon the public notice the claims of the aborigines, with regard to the occupation of their lands by emigrants and speculating companies ; and also recommending It to the public for support and sympathy. The resolutions were ably supported by the speeches of the Rev. Mr. Burnett, P. Jones, J. J. Freacan, Esq., and other gentlemen; and a vote of thanks having been awarded to the chairman, the meeting separated. ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF AN INSANE PA AKENT.—Pursuant to adjournment, the inquest oh William Holding re-assembled on Monday, at one o'clock, at the Earl Cathcart, Munster-street, Regent's Park. After hearing some further evi dence of a character similar to that already reported, the jury unanimously agreed to the following verdict:—" That William Holding died from exhaustion, produced by discharge from large wounds from his hips and lower part of his back, and that how those wounds were caused there was not sufficient evidence before the jurors to prove; and that although there was inflammation in his skin, in the situation where the wounds afterwards appeared, that such wounds did not exist when the said William Holding was admitted into Armstrong's lunatic asylum at Peckham; whereas the fact is established that they existed in a most aggra. vated form when he was removed from the asylum. And that the jury are decidedly of opinion that the medical treatment of the deceased was cruelly neglected whilst he was in the asylum." COLDSTREAM.—Among the freaks of the feathered tribe during the time of incubation, the following is perhaps not the least curious. A pair of robins seeking for a place to build fixed on the sleeve of a coat hanging in a shed at the Hirsel. garden. The hen bird is now sitting on six eggs, and undis mayed seems to welcome the curiosity of the numerous visitors to her singular domicile. The circumstance is rendered still more strange by the shed having been newly roofed during the time Of her sitting.— Berwick Warder. Tian MAYNOOTH GRANT.—The Reading Town Council met on Wednesday last to consider the propriety of sup. porting or opposing the Irish Ministerial policy, as developed in the Bills for endowing Mayne,oth and establishing new colleges for sans. scriptural education. Dr. Cowan proposed that the corporation seal should be affixed to the petitions against Maynooth, and that they should be presented.

CLASSIC SCULPTURE.—The perfection attained by the nations of classic antiquity in the arts, especially that of sculpture, is too well known and appreciated to require further eulogium at the present day. We may however cease to wonder at the excellence thus attained, when we learn the extent to which it was practised, since we find it recorded by an ancient writer that the number of statues at Rome exceeded that of its living inhabitants. It is well known that the master-pieces of Greek and Roman skill have constantly supplied modern artists with models and examples; and we have recently been much' struck with the adaptation of a beautiful specimen of ancient art, by those distinguished artists Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, who, for the protection of an article of deserved celebrity —the Kalydor, prepared by Messrs. Rowland and Son, of Hatton-garden, have produced a label depicting a classic group of eminent grace and beauty —a further description of which fre quently appears ha our advertising columns. 24% 8 18 1 r NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LA W LEAGUE BAZAAR. Yesterday being the second day that the admittance to the Das far had been reduced to a shilling, the consequence was, that it was more crowded than ever. It was really with some difficulty that we made our way round the Bazaar, and then only by patiently waiting and going on with the stream. The entra nce staircase was at one time completely blocked by persons standing to admire the splendid Glasgow prize carpet, which attracted the attention of ail passers. by. There is a new standing opene d in the dress box lobby. It is the standing of bed -ticking code tinted to form a fund for the relief of the distressed Dorsetshirc agricultural labourers. A milpuff bed, two pillows, a sheet and counterpane, can be purchasei for the sum of five shillings; en, and for this sum the League undertake to deliver them to of the families of the distressed agricultural labourers in theseD shire. We trust, for the sake of the poor labour ers, that beds will find a ready sale. With what face the landowning who nopolist can tell the carving labourer, who owes his ver y bed Wt" t bounty of free-traders, Ihat the corn.laws are kept up for the benefi of the agricultural labourer, and that free trade wou ld render In! Thisi situation worse off than it is at present, we cannot imagine. among the monopolists may be found some possessed of a" imPu dance which even Professor Truffles might envy, we do not do n . but we very much doubt whether, after such a practical refutation of the fallacy, they will find any agricultural labourer who wil l ": hove it. Such an a s ser ti on w ill now become too monstrous to 7 credited, even by the " agr icultural rind." The P ost-000 ;1 usual, was the source o f much amusement.
