'l l I rve that CaptAin Watson had been tried by a court inartial and !oven honourably acquitted.—(Elvar.) REIOVAL OF AR LICLES F 13,011 THE CRYSTAL PAL ACE. Colonel SIBTHORP gave notice that en Tuesday next he would ask the Goveranseut whether the Sabbath had ❑ot been desecrate i by the removal of certain arti cles from the Crystal Palace on Sunday for the purpose of being copied. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past One o'clock. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS TIMES.—A seat in the Lower House is not altogether the transcendental luxury it is supposed to be by imagi native persons whose enthusiasm may have taken a po litieal turn. This is the happiest Moment of my lite" ' 3 s's the grateful candidate in whose favour the plurality of the electors of Rottingdean may have just record( d their votes. He looks forward to a long career of dis tinction, and to ample share of those honours which usually fall to the lot of a enceessfal statesman. Shall he begin operations I:ke the late Sir Robert Peel, and con tent himself at first with setting the House right upon a few points of hueines• P—sh 41 he burst upon his asto niched audience in a set speech, which may either prop the fortunes of a telling Cabinet, or wrest the reins o Power from a presumptuous Premier? It matters but little. Whether he adopt the more wary policy, or boleti:, disclose himself in all his strength. there can ea no qu Lion as to th e dazzling destiny which awaits him. We need scarcely say that ere two months of the session have elapsed, th e young M P. finds that he is singulsrly mis taken in his estimate of the character of the House, end of the pert which he himself may hope to perform. He is bullied by the Whipper-it, of the Treasury, or of his own party, if he be in opposition. He is draughted into a Com mittee-room, and compelled to f all day like a do; The night only brings a change, not a cessation of labour. He is under the obligation of listening to tsdious speeches. l ive -sixths of which might be stereotyped for constant use. He finds that Lord John, and Sir James Graham, and Mr. Hume are not made of very inflammable mate rials, and that he is called upon to contend, not with Men in the ordinary sense of the word, but with sections Of politicians whose minds are made up without refer ence to any oratorical rockets that may be discharged on either side. Nor is he left quite at peace by his en lightened supporters of Rottingdean. Could he obtain the patronage of all the small berths in the Customs and Excise, they would not satisfy the rapacity of his disin terested constituents. Then there is a certainty of some knotty question which will shake his chances of re election, whichever way he may give his vote. The Squire thinks Mr. Cobden little better than a humbug. The Quaker corn-merchant and apothecary in the High. Street hold Mr. Sturge to be something more then a 114 4. All three recorded their votes for our young friend at the late election, and now the Members are p a ssing out into the lobbies on the question of cutting "Iva the r supplies for our national armaments. Without that further, we think we have said enough to show 'eat there is a set-off against tee outward splendour of a s enatorial career, even after the embryo Premier h as been chaired and the oaths duly taken. But all this is nothing. We have hitherto been speaking of the triumphs of a successful man, not of the strug gles it may have cost him to attain the object of his am altion—of the Member, not of the candidate for Parlia mentary honours. Let us see by a practical example the depth s to of meanness to which a man will descend in order secure the fruition of the luxuries we have just de- gibed. There has just been a gap in the representa ti," of Limerick, and various candidates had offered _eemselves for the suffrages of the constituency. The c_cecessful one among them is Lord Arundel, the eldest rith and heir presumptive of the Premier Duke of Eng land. Fate and fortune would appear to have done all that • fate and fortune could do in behalf of this young -11eleman. Wh e th er p o liti ca lly o r s o c i a lly, his rank Places him in a position which it would cost the best man l ir a the country the labour of a life to attain. There are e 7,„Ettglish constituencies which would not have been sake; to give him an ample trial for his name'. - 1 -et there is none by which he would not have been S a to with respect and consideration. What had do with Limerick ? How is it we find him en o Ying the political mendicant on the Atlantic a " of Ireland ? Why should he doff his coronet etie e with bated breath for the Parliamentary leav e- g,a Of Dani e l O'C onne ll' s b ro k en -d own son? In all pro y, there there is no thi ng thee would have justified such a 'op but the clearest expression on the part of such a ,I3cstituency son desire to be represented in Parliament the eldest of England's premier peer. Unless he e° aISI make out good cause for the intrusion, and clearly pro ve that he came forward as the representativoof some Pel itical principl e , which, but for him, might have gone u nr epresented, what had he to do with the suffrages of he c onstituency on the remotest shores of Ireland? Is tc outherod Herod now that he is returned, and ser ve the cause of Ireland by outdoing the follies and ;I t raragances of her most unfortunate representatives? ar e inextricably involved with those of the constituency sad the country, they were in a fairer position than Lord, Arundel when they asked the support of the el ectors for one of their own number. If, "'en, Lord Arundel's pretensions break down e a , an Irish candidate before the claims of i i r lshalen, how does the matter stand upon re l'ous grounds? Let us assume it as a fact that the It4h4jority of the constituency of Limerick is opposed to 5 e recent legislation against the extravagant preten ,ll, 5 of the Papal See; and that Lsrd Arundel's address s in °died his determination to resist that e nac t me nt by to the means in his power.

ICI AN CR E ! Poems. By Thomas Sinibert. James Hogg, Edinburgh. Under this somewhat affected title Mr. Smibert has presented to the world a very agreeable volume of versification. Those readers who do not happen to be as familiar as Horace Walpole with- the anecdotes re lated of illustrious artists are informed, in the pre fatory remarks of the author, that the designation of the volume is attributable to that exulting cry of Correggio, lo anche son pittore—" I also am a painter," when his early performances were eulogised by Michel Angelo Buonarotti. Nevertheless, it is altogether without self-sufficiency, but, on the con trary, with a certain air of agreeable diffidence, that the writer of the book before us exclaims lo anche, when he adventures upon the publication of his ma nuscripts. For some reasons the volume of Mr. Smibert is a curiosity, deserving the peculiar atten tion of criticism, coming forth, as it does, with a somewhat plaintive regret that it contains the effusions of one whose literary energies have been almost entirely exercised in supplying contributions fur the periodicals. As such the work is welcome to us, tieing an indication that the serial literature of the day cannot altogether fritter ass ay the powers of y one who with real capacity has nevertheless be - come involved in the toils of piecemeal composition. In the selection of his subjects, our author has occa sionally evineed some discernment as to what might present something like a powerful attraction to the present generation. Thus at page 77 he eulogises Sir Charles Napier in reference to the bombardment of St. Jean d'Acre ; at page 112 be celebrates the military renown of Soult and Weliiugton ; at page 70 he offers his tribute of panegyric to the histrionic genius of Helen Faucit ; at page 34 he apostrophises admiringly, and even affectionately, the memory of Keats ; while at page 120 he addresses an encomium of a rather extravagant character to the present Prime Minister of England. Together with these popular themes Mr. Smibert mingles the sentiments entertained by him in reference to others of a more generalized description. Actuated, perhaps, by the recollection that the nightingale has been sung of by Keats, and the skylark by Shelley, he indulges him self with more than one lyrical appeal to the " Swal low," a bird for which he appears to entertain a par • titular predilection. Several of his sonnets, besides possessing the rare merit of suggestiveness, are closed with thoughts sententiously expressed and epigram matically beautiful; as where he observes of his own sorrowful experience— " The wrinkles of my days are on my heart— It is the eye of thought that drops sad tears;" or where again he says of the humble dead in a coun try churchyard— " Their epitaph was but the lowly mound— The long, green grass their sole biography." Referring to the scientific achievements of modern times, he has penned a clever and ingenious collection of stanzas entitled " The Fiend, the Sage, and Steam," in which inferentially he has specified the marvels of one of the most wonderful contrivances of the natural philosopher. Perhaps the happiest effort in the entire volume, however, is that revealed In the lines addressed to his " Young Yankee Nephew," which, among other noble passages, contains this ad mirably expressed recommendation : " Be thou of those, in future years, Who hold that peace all good excelleth; And that contention springs from fears, While calm with courage dwelleth." Those verses which we have italicised might be taken as a motto for our fantastic friends the upholders of the Arbitration Movement. Occasionally the pages under consideration are flawed by blemishes as un pardonable, as those for example of false rhyme : ex. gr., at the very outset we have " spots" jangling with "antidotes," and further on "front" with "elo quent." Sometimes again our ears are wounded by violations of euphony as painful, as where day is de scribed as "grumbling from the eastern wolds." What, moreover, shall be said of the verse rhyming to this where it is remarked that " winter hath been here with all its colds," rather unpleasantly suggestive of catarrhs. Not unfrequently, likewise, we are treated with such barbarous stanzas as the subjoined : " Thou comest of a noble stock. The strung-souled breed of Gothic Norsemen, Who shook the earth with thunder shock, And rode the seas like horsemen." Among the most successful attempts in the volume are the specimens of Scottish poetry, in which the writer indulges pleasantly enough in the dialect of his countrymen. Several of these minor perform ances are really excellent. We may especially par ticularise in proof of this " She Cares na' for Me," " The Rustic Belle's Stratagem," in which the author displays very agreeably his powers as a humourist, and " The Scottish Widow's Lament," in which the pathos is sweet and unaffected. As ample testimony of our truthfulness in the latter assertion take that regretful reflection of the mourner-- " Aft on the hill at e'ens I fiee 'mang the ferns; The lover o' my teens, The faithsr o' my bairns." or that other, yet more beautiful— " I settle whiles to spin, But wee, wee pattern,' feet Come rinnin' out and in, And then I just maun greet; I ken its fancy u', And faster rows the tear, Thst my a' divined awa' In the fa' o' the year." Numerous examples might in like manner be given of the novelty at times infused into a phrase or a metaphor, as where the swallow is spoken of as " the winged cricket of the outer earth ;" but these can sel dom, if ever, be appreciated apart from the context in fragmentary quotations. At intervals, happily like the angel's vistts,"few and far between," Mr. Smibert gives us glowing assurance that he understands the mysteries of pathos, or the art of sinking, as thoroughly as ever did the renowned Martinus Scribblerus. It is thus that we find him dropping down when he in tends to be most pathetic (p. 2) to such a very com mon-place and lachrymose exclamation as—what does the reader think ?—"Ah, dear me !" Political prejudices, matters yet more reprehensible, peep out now and then somewhat disagreeably, as may be seen in the preposterous little sonnet on "Napoleon at `Waterloo." As more favourable specimens of our author's ability as a sonneteer, however, we would point approvingly to the two following—the first of them possessing just now a mournful interest, from the recent death of DELTA. No fancied dweller by Castalian springs, Nor airy haunter of the cloven hill, Gave, Moir, unto thee the power and will To touch the lyre, and from its unloth strings To draw furth strains which glide, on viewless wings, Into the heart's recesses—as a rill Moveth bush-hidden to the deep, and still; While moving, audibly and sweetly sing , 3l The spark that lights the flame of song in thee Comes from no source existent but in dreams; An eye that views all nature lovingly— A he/rt from which kind feeling ever streams— These are the prompters of thy minstrelsy, And eloquent of these are all thy themes! THE FIRST GREY HAIR. There is an epoch in the life of man, Compelling thought, if power he has to think. It is not in the palsied hours which brink Eternity, that he is forced to scan His bypast ways. As one light tinge of gold On grain foretells the reaping-time to be, So doth the first grey hair which we may see The coming doom to all of us unfold. That sign announces that a novel thread Hath been inwoven with the web of life; And that yet more and more, while we have breath, Shall streak th e f a b ric. Then with doubtings dread, And awful questionings, the mind grows rife. "Who casts that shuttle?" Heart and soul cry," Death!" Altogether, the book under review would have been a little more satisfactory to ourselves if the writer had not favoured us with any m ore o f t h ose melancholy i‘ album verses," which are the everlasting theme of your petty poetasters. Not con t ent w i th one speci men of these frivolities of versification (p. 81), Mr. Smibert must needs favour us w i th (p. 140) another. It would, likewise, have been ju s t as well if the writer had remembered, before inditin g " Steed of the Steam," that the same thing had already been done, much better, by Tilbury Tramp; that th e id ea con tained in " The Sick Couch" has also been yet more reßr°twhantinge's " Romau n t even in the admirably m itrhaeb Pagely expressed ;" famous ballad in the " Vicar of Wak e fi e ld . " After Byron, it seems likewise somewh a t and Mrs.be of rash for any one to pen such a verse as (p. 49), "A change ca me o ' er th e t e nor of my vision." . One of the most ch arm i ng pi ec es of versification the volume is that of " Th e T w in Sisters," and with similar terms of co mmen d a ti on we may particularize the " Ballad of Sir Richard Farishawe," though the heroism commemorated in it, is little more than " sound and fury signifying nothing." Vi loc:n we light upcn such mawkish sentimentality as iseu shrined iu the song " I dare n o t sa y I l ove thee, ,, we are distressingly reminded of that drawing-room twaddle set to music of lute years for the voices of young ladies, and for the delectation of our comical friend Mr. Punch. Equally distasteful to us are lines written upon "Tears" (p. 80), a theme in re gard to which we are by this time thoroughly blasé; more particularly when we find these same " tears " designated "the ink with which deep feeling writes, &e.," a conceit more extravagant than any ever in • dulged in by Donne, Herbert, Withers, or Quarles. " Concolinel " does credit to Mr. &filbert's rhythmi cal ingenuity in bodying forth a mere hint in Shakspere. About the most successful of his imita tions is that of " Aileen-a-Roon," adapted to the music of " Robin Adair." After the ori ginal effusions comprised in his book, come various translations from the French, most of them from the works o f B erangor or of Lamartine. We may mention among them in high terms of praise "The Blind Mother," and the funny little "King Yvetot." LON DON, The "Recollections of the People" we cannot but regard as a signal failure, more peculiarly, perhaps, in reference to the refrain. Take the close of the second stanza in the original— " Il me dit, Bonjour, ma chore, Bonjour, ma chero: Il vous a par 4 gran'mere, Il vous a pirl6?" And contrast its simplicity, rendered doubly sweet by the repetition, with Mr. Smibert's version— But he' cried, Good morn, my dear;' Good more, my dear,' he cried. Then he spoke, grandame, when near, He spoke when by your side?" Truf:hful, nay in many respects punctiliously accurate, though" GethFemane ' is as a translation, it is still, when compared with the original, in the highest de gree unsatisfactory ; as may be recognised on a glance at those lovely verses of Larnartine-- •• L'amertutne est mon miel, la tristemae est ma joie; Un instinct fraternal m'attach: , a tout ecreeuil, Nut chemist ne m'arrete, a moins que je n'y voie Qaelquo: ruins on quelve deuil." The same may be said of " The Farewell Tribute to un A(t-ithmy at Mardeillt , s," beginning in the ori ginal— " Si j'a)andonne aux plis do la voile rapids Cis q ae u a fait le eiel de pix et de b:mlienr." A peru4al of the Appendix to " Io Auebe," will be interesting to all those who have examined Mr. Smi bert's contributions to Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, tales and e,setys until now anonymous. .

THE GREAT EXHIBITION FETE IN PARIS. PROGRESS FROM LONDON TO PARIS. We have the following letters from our correspon dents describing the progress of the English visitors towards Paris : BOULOGNE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. At eight o'clock this morning the London-bridge sta tion was occupied by a large number of the guests, and the crowd increased every minute. By half-past eight o'clock the platform was crowded by aldermen, sheriffs, deputies, and corporation dignitaries, mixed up with M.P.'s, savans, Royal Commissioners, Americans, and other foreigners. For a time all went smoothly pleasant, chatty groups were formed, and friends discussed the prospects of the day. It soon, however, became evident that something more than usual was engaging the atten tention of the porters and railway officials. The crowd thickened, and as visitors looked around and recognised acquaintance after acquaintance, suspicion arose that Loudon was on the move, and that the Saturday's fashionable swarm at the Crystal Palace was en route for Paris. A rush was mad at th e b arr i ers, and a close column of porters' trucks formed before it, like a train of artillery, while on either side a for lorn hope made desperate efforts to get through the gaps, which were sternly guarded by picked members of the railway staff and police. Some dignitaries had left their blue•bordered tickets behind; others found that their tickets of invit..ition to ball and concert did not pass wives and daughters through the railway bar riers. Anxious consultations were held, detachments were sent to the pay places to secure whatever tickets could bo got, and the company reaped a .rich harvest from the assembled multitude. Ladies got through the barriers as they best could, and occupied seats. Slowly and gradually the majority of the attendant crowd oozed through the narrow strait; but now new difficulties were to be encountered. Parties of two or three wished to go together, and anxiously looked about for convenient places. From carriage to carriage they peered about, daintily rejecting the odd seats, and hoping for better luck further on. Soon it became apparent that even odd seats were scarce; husbands vainly searched for wives and daughters—ladies wandered about, look ing for their partners. Groups were formed round carriage -doors, discussing claims which were put in for seats that had been retained, or for com partments taken; and plaintive voices urged how hard it was to separate husband and wife. American ladies asserted their claims as only American ladies can t ) the " cars" of which they had assumed the temporary ownership, and strenuously assailed as cowardly and un gdrukuaanly any attempt to occupy the vacant seats. The foreign visitors wandered about, hopelessly resigned to their tate, almost in despair of ever getting through. What became of the luggage is not known; but strong hopes are entertained that it will all be found at Paris. The last bell rang, the guards became importunate to close the doors, and the storm of the barriers was re- nerved. Mr. Paxton made his way through with beam ing. face, and, it is to be presumed, as the hero of the day, obtained a seat; but it was reported that a strong de tachment of the corporation of the city of London was left behind. Several stout gentlemen were seen standing guard over bags swollen with scarlet robes and uniforms, and cases with cocked hats and deputy-lieutenants' swords. The Lord Mayor's fat footmen were in the rear, whether in charge of the state coach is not known. The superintendent with great difficulty got the doors of the carriages closed, though ladies made stern efforts to signal their absent lords and set their protest against divorce and separate maintenance. By the kindness of the authorities we got packed in a carriage after some fruitless efforts, but the great mass were not so fortunate, and we saw as we left a large assemblage awaiting the next train. The railway authorities did the best they could ueder the circumstances, and provided a monster train for the Royal Commissioners and their friends, but so profuse has been the hospitality of the French Government and city of Paris municipality, that no single train could convey the assembled multitude. By great exertions, an enormous number was carried off by the first train, and we passed on the line nume rous strings of empty carriages, drafted by telegraph from all parts to the scene of action, so that all will be got off this morning, and it is intimated a fleet of steamers has been assembled at Folkstone. The weather was brilliant in theporning, and gave good augury of a happy commencement to the festivities. The train sterted punctually at nine, and in forty minutes got to the Reigate junction, and made a halt for water. Here some hapless visitors were assembled, in hopes to catch the train en route, but such good fortune as a vacant seat in the closely packed train was hopeless. By a very good arrangement, with the view to save trouble, the " blue bordered" or privileged passes, and the purchased tickets wero all made through to Paris. Besides Reigate a stoppage was only made at Tunbridge, and the train got into Folkstone at twenty minutes past eleven. FOLKSTONE. The train got into the station as first said, and we found a large party of the inhabitants assembled to witness the pri endings. In the harbour great excite ment prevailed, and the shipping were dressed with all their colours, presenting a very gay appearance. In about ten minutes the train got to the harbour, and the sea was as smooth as a mill-pond. BOULOGNE. There was no public reception in Boulogne, the general wish being to get to Paris as early as possible, and the state of the weather during the voyage across had rendered many of the company rather indisposed to encounter a ceremonial immediately on their escape from the sea. The ve,sel that brought forward the first party was the Princess Helena, and she left in the harbour two others, the Lord Warden and the Princess Clemen- tins, steam up, and gaily decorated with flags, ready to carry over the remainder of the invited guests. The vessels drew alongside the quay at two o'clock amidst the cheering of the crowd. The quay was gaily deco rdted with flags, and a guard of honour was in waiting. An ornamental gangway was run on deck, and the guests, with the Lord Mayor at their head, received the congratulations of tho municipality. Among the company by the chief train and first boat were— Lords Albermarle, Wharncliffe, and Ebrington; Hon. Messrs. Fitzroy and Scarlett, Messrs. Paxton and the Recorder, Sir J. Rennie, Sir J. Musgrove, Mr. Smith, Alderman Moon, Messrs. Wentworth Dilke, Cole, and Scott Russell, Alderman Humphery; Messrs. Sallan drouze and Macgregor, M.P., Alderman Sidney, Alder man Wire, Aldrrman Hooper, Alderman Carter, Sheriff Carden, Sir G. Hodgkinson, Messrs. Swift, Bright, and Du Pont, Captain Owen, H. Crossmaw, H. Du Cane, Mr. Barber and lady, Deputy Harrison, Messrs.

At half-past two o'clock to-day the Lord Mayor of Loudon, with several Commissioners of the Great Ex hibition, and the various gentlemen whom the munici pality of Paris had invited to partake of their hospi vitality, arrived in this town in the Princess Clementina, from Folkestone. Mr. Barnard, the agent, in Boulogne, of the Folkstoue Railroad, had, at his own expense, decorated the landing-place with a triumphal arch of various coloured flags, which looked very gay. The sous-prefets, British Consul, Mayor of Boulogne, M. Fontaine, with some of the chief gentlemen of the town, M. do St. Paul, chairman of the Boulogne and Amiens Railroad, with some of his colleague?, received the gentlemen on their lauding, where a lieutenant's guard of troops of the line, headed by the Commissary of Police and a guard of douaniers in full costume, with the heads of the customs' department, did honour to the occasion. After the usual wel comes, compliments, and introductions, the invited stepped into the railway carriages end conveyances pro vided ~or them, and drove to the terminus of the rail to„d, «hick deserves a particular description. The directors of the Amiens and Boulogne Railway had deter mined, at their own expense, to prove to the invited guests that all France felt disposed to meet them with true cordiality. Accordingly, they commanded M. Jallot Thaboreux, of Paris, to decorate the large saloon of the terminus in a manner fit for the reception of the guests whom they honoured, and whom they invited to a dejezincr after the fatigues of their journey; and M. Pole% the restaurant of the Rue Vivienne, was ordered to provide in his recherché style a hot breakfast that should not be con demned even by a London alderman. Both did justice to the orders given. The large saloon was covered with while' drapery, tastefully inlaid with crimson, with crimson curtains to the various windows. A large mir ror behi❑d the chairman, decorated with flowers, re• SATYR DAY EVVNING, fleeted the whole room ; a cross table was raised two feet from the floor, at which the principel guests were seated; three tables, running down the sides and middle, received those who were particularly connected with the Exhibition, to the amount of 100. An outer saloon, communicating by wide folding doors with the principal one, received WI the other guests, to the amount of about 200. M. de St. Paul presided, supported on his right by the Lord Mayor of London, next to whom sat Mr. Paxton; on his left was Miss Musgrove, and opposite to him the sous•prejet, with Mr. Macgregor en his left, and M.Ballendrouze on his right. The passage had been a pleasant one, appetites had been sharpened, and full justice was done to the good things that had been ,prepared. The dejeuner occupied an hour and a half, when the Chairman proposed the health of the Lord Mayor of Loudon, who replied in a frank and manly speech, particularly remarking upon the hospitality with which they had been received and the honours dono them. lie concluded by proposing the prosperity the city of Boulogne (three times three.) The Lord Mayor then gave the health of the ons-prefet, who corgratult ted all upon the happy oc casion for which they had met, and assured them it was to him a coat heppy •moment when he had the • honour of receiving ouch distinguished guests. Mr. Paxton, in a few words, proposed "The union of the two netiote,"—(three titers three)—which was followed by Mr. Macgregor, chairman of the South•Eaitern Company, giving the health of their Chairman, Se Pau!, and " May we often pay him each agreeable visits."—(Three times three, and one cheer mole.) The Lord Mayor then proposed the health of M. Fontaine, Mayor of Boulogne, who spoke very inap.'est,ively in reply, assuring them of the pleasure he and all around him felt at receiving rii.ra in Boulogne, and particularly, on this occasion, when France, through her authoriti'e's in Paris, was expressing her feelings ttt the manner her manufacturers and agents had been received in London. It was now time for starting for Paris. One convoy of twenty carriages we; prepared,'and soon filled. They had scarcely departed, when another steamer arrived from Folkstone, which poured its freight into the termi nus, who soon occupied the places left vacant by their predecessors, and were regaled far beyond their expec tations. Between six and seven hundred were thus re ceived on three steamers, and forwarded, all seeming highly delighted with their reception. The day was most auspicious.—Daily News. IRELAND. FINALE OF THE LIMERICK ELE C T ION . DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING. —Ultramontanism has appropriately achieved its first triumph on Irish soil. Mr. Francis William Russell, rather than risk the chances of a contest, which threatened to be carried to its end with more than the ordinary violence which was almost certain to accompany such a struggle as the one pending, has resigned, and before this communication shall have passed the Channel, Lord Sarrey will be de clared the successor of Mr. John O'Connell in the repre sentation of limerick. The correspondent of the News Letter thus writes of the joyous events of yester day:— " Limerick, Thursday Night, July 31. " In my last communication I nearly prepared your readers for the announcement I have now to make, namely, ' That Mr. Francis William Russell has re signed _ _ At two o'clock, when Lord Arundel and Surrey was proceeding through William-street on his canvass, ac companied by the Roman Catholic clergy, and followed by an immense crowd of non-'electors, his Lordship was waited upon by Mr. William Howley, D.L. (brother of Sergeant Rowley), the Rev. John Brahan, parish priest of St. Mary's, and Mr. William White, who informed hire that they had been authorised by Mr. Henry O'Shea (agent of Mr. Russell) to announce that Mr. Russell had come to the determination of not contesting the election upon the present occasion. I need scarcely add that this intelligence called forth loud and prolonged cheers from the assemblage, as in a few seconds the circumstance be came generally known; indeed I had received private intimation of the fact so early as nine o'clock. "Lard Arundel, with whom was Captain Gavin and a numerous circle of friends, received the intellig ence without much surpri se . an d said,—Gentlemen, I am much. obliged for your kindness in communicating this news, and have to say that I am glad Mr. Russell has consulted not only his own peace of mind, but the peace of the city generally, as well as the feelings of the Roman Catholic electors of this renowned borough.—(Cheers.) But I think it due to them, as a mark of respect which I owe them, as a stranger (which I have been desig nated), to wait on every one of them personally, in order to cultivate that friendly feeling which I trust shall henceforward exist between us.—(Cheers.) " The canvass was accordingly pursued through Pa trick-street, William-street, and Richmond wards, with great success (wherever an interview was obtained, but many denied themselves, not wishing to experience the resentment of the populace). " A naeeing of the committee having been announced for three o'clock, Lord Arundel and his friends pro ceeded to their rooms in Patrick-street, where Mr. Joseph Murphy, his solicitor, advised, from known ex perience, that inasmuch as no written document has been sent in by Mr. Russell, Lord Arundel should prosecute his canvass through the city. " Another gentleman observed, that he heard the enemy was still abroad, and that it was the det€Tmina lion of the Protestant party to put forward another can didate at the hustings, even though Mr. Russell had resigned. " Mr. Murphy replied, that as far as Lord Arundel was concerned all the necessary preparations had been made for going to the poll, and therefore his friendi could not be taken by surprise. He knew too much of electioneering to be entrapped in that way. " Lord Arundel said he would be guided by the com mittee. " Mr. Murphy—l know your Lordship is fatigued, as you have suffered much physical hardship. " Lord Arundel-4 dun's mind what physical hardship I have endured, especial!) , when I see around me gentle men who have also suffered with me. " The crowds assemtied in the streets here became impatient, and there were loud cries for Lord Arundel. " Rev. Mr. Quade, parish priest, Callaghan's Mills, recommended teat his Lordship would address a few words to the people, iu order to let the world see that the ' City of the Violated Treaty' contained within its walls a Roman Catholic population able to hurl defiance at the miscreant Lord John Russell, who had menaced to prostrate and fetter the bishops and clergy of that faith. " Lord Arundel—l assure you, in his private capacity, Lord John Russell is not to be censured. " Rev. Mr. Quade—l have nothing to say to his pri vate character, my Lord; but I can deal with him as a public man, and I denounce him as an enemy to Ireland —an enemy to the religion of the Roman Catholics of this country.—(Hear, hear.) "Lord Arundel consented, and proceeded to the plat form in frcnt of the committee rooms, and on making his appearance was loudly cheered. He said—Electors and non-electors of the city of Limerick, I suppose yeu have heard the news.—(Cheers, and cries of We have, thank God.") Well, my friends, it is my determination to continue my canvass, in order to make the acquain tance of the electors of the city of .Limerick.—(deer, hear.) Although the contest is virtually over, still, by way of a !orlorn hope, it may be that their enemies would put forward a candidate to-morrow, in order to give them annoyance.—(Rear, hear.) lam not, I think, too sanguine in anticipating that on to-morrow you will meet in might, strength, and numbers, and show that you are determined to resist the attack making by Go vernment upon our church and religious liberty.—(Loud applause.) I trust that neither ill-will or animosity will be entertained towards those who were heretofore op posed to us, either directly or indirectly. We will all be friends, and forget what has occurred. We will all unite in the cause of Catholicity.—(Cheers.) I will now pur sue my canvass.—(Renewed cheers.) "His Lordship accordingly left on that mission. " The Rev. Mr. Quade delivered a fierce and violent address in denunciation of the Government measures. He was exceedingly violent in his allusions to Lord John Russell, in reference to the prominent part ho took in carrying the Bill. " I have been credibly informed that Archdeacon Keatinge, the Rev. Mr. Moore, Rev. Mr. Willis, and other Protestant clergymen, volunteered their support to Lord Arundel previous to the resignation of Mr. Russell. " Whi!e I write tar barrels are blazing away in every part of the city, and joyous demonstrations are being made in every direction. ''The flags which adorned the committee rooms of Mr. Russell and the platform in front have been re moved, and no longc•r visible signs remain of what this morning &noted of preparation fora fierce contest—the colours have been struck. " P.S. Lord Arundel is at this moment speaking from his committee-room winnow. "At 12 o'clock to-morrow the High Sheriff of the city, Mr. P. A. Shannon, will declare Lord Arundel duly elected to represent the city of Limerick. " A written resignation from Mr. Russell has been sent in to Lord Arundel's committee. Crowds of women dressed in green are parading the streets, with banners and blazing tar barrels. The motto is, Women of Limerick, remember 1690; let your husbands, your sons, and brothers, support Lurd Arundel, the champion of the Catholic faith. " Lord John Russell has been borne about in effigy, and will be committed to the flames at the market cross.'' FETE CHAMPETRE AT HANOVER•PARK, PECKHAM. —Yesterday a fete was given at these grounds by several gentlemen who had associated themselves together for the purpose of promoting the Scottish fete in Holland-park. The present occasion was intended as the first of a series of minor competitions in out-door exercises, for the encou ragement of persons residing in and about London, and pre paratory to the Scottish gathering of 1852. Prizes were •awarded to the successful candidates in the various games of foot-racing, leaping, throwing the hammer, putting the stone, casting the discus, tossing the caber, wrestling, high land dancing, sack racing, wheelborrow racing, jingling, & c . The sports were kept up with much spirit throughout the day, and in the evening the company met in the Assembly Rooms attached to the premises. Dancing was then com menced, and was continued until a late hour. . _ MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-011 Thursday, July 31, was solemnized the marriage of Richard INlonckton Milnes, Esq., M. P., only son of R. P. Anh ie , , Esq., of Erystone Hall and Bawtry, in the county of York, and the Hon. Annabel Crewe. youngest sister of Lord Crewe. The ceremooy, which took place at the church Of the pretty village of Madeley, in the county of Stafford; was performed by the Rev. Ofil-y Crewe, Rector of Astbury, as sisted by the Rev. Henry Ireland Blackburne (cousins of the accomplished bride). After the ceremony th e w h o l e party proceeded to Crewe Hall, where a sumptuous luncheon was provided by the noble owner. The happy pair left in the afternoon for Teddesley Park, the seat of Lord Hatherton, previous to their tour on the continent. Mr. Henry Charles Johnson, surgeon, of Saville row and St. George's Hospital, Deafly lost his life a few days ago in operating upon a patient ; he is now out of danger, and gone to Folkestone. His loss would have been most se verely felt in the profession from the high position he holds as an anatomist and operator. AUGUST 2, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOOD WOOD RACES —FRIDAY.

THE NANCY CASE. —Nancy was examined this after noon by Mr. Field, who pronounced her to be three years old. The meetieg, although in the number and rank of the visitors and the amount of sport unquestionably betas , / the average, has, on the whole, been excellent. The racing produced some moat unlooked for results; specu lation was very heavy, and the gentlemen most particu larly unfortunate; it is many years since the run was so decidedly against them, or their losses so hen vy. The stewards for 1852 are the Earl of Z?tland and Gerard Sturt, Esq. YORK RACES.—Hernandez is declared not to start for the Great Yorkshire Stakes. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE. This old, established and popular race, which annually forms one of the most attractive features of the season, took place. yesterday evening, and, as usual, attracted a vast assemblage of spectators, not only upon the river, but on the various bridges, wharves, and open parts of either shore, where a view could be commanded of any portion of the race. The distance was, as usual, from the Swan at London bridge to the Swan at Chelsea, and in addition to the livery and badge bequeathed by Doggett, of facetious memory, in honour of the happy accession of the family of her present Majesty to the Throne of Great Britain, for the first man, 41. 10s. for the second, 2/. 14% 2d. for the third, the interest of the South Sea Stock, the gift per will of Sir W. Jolliffo, the Fishmongers' Company, who have the control of this wager, have kindly added one guinea to the first man, 11. 16s. for the fourth, and 11. Is. each for tho two last, provided they rowed the whole of the distance. The competitors were— George Daniel Wiggett, Somers quay ......1 John Webb, Wappin .. Salter Martin, Milford-land "' 2 Alfred George Andrews, Battle-bridge „. 4 John Lashbrook e , Old Swan ... •.. .•• 5 George Bean, Custom -house Lower Stairs ... ••• 6 The start took place under the able direction of Lir. Dards, the bargemaster of the Fishmongers' Company, just after high water, at five o'clock in the evening. Wiggett was off the north shore, Martin next, then An drews, Lashbrooke, and Bean, Webb being to the south ward. As it was still water all may be said to have had good places, and fair scope for their prowess. Wiggett and Bean first drew their boats a little in advance, but it was scarcely more than momentary. Wiggett, in the course of a few strokes, drew himself clear, went under Southwark-bridge two lengths a-head, and maintained it. Bean, soon after the start, began to drop astern, but Martin, Webb, Lashbrooke, and Andrews were almost scull and scull for some strokes. Martin and Andrews then showed a slight front, and an accidental foul as they neared Blackfriars-bridge occurred. Martin imme diately afterwards acquired the second place, which he maintained up to the Penitentiary, closely pressed by Webb, who then rowed into the second place. From the Pimlico pier Wiggett was so indifferently taken up by his cutter that Webb materially decreased the distance between them, and Martin's proximity as third left neither of the leading men any time to spare. The young men all rowed capitally, and Wiggett won by two lengths, the second man being scarcely more ahead of the third. The other three wore some distance astern. Lashbrooke encountered some "moving accidents," which served materially to delay him. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAIL wAr.---An accident of a very shocking character, by which an unfortunate man was literally decapitated, occurred on the London and South-Western Railway on Thursday after noon, within a short distance of the spot where the poor fel low was killed on Friday last. From inquiries made, it ap pears that on that portion of the railway lying between the Vauxhall station and the goods depot at Nine Elms, a num ber of men have been employed in refixing or examining the plates. Among the number was a man who was called " Butcher," and while he was attending to his duties on Thursday afternoon the 225 r.m. train came down the line. The engine -driver having given the signal, the man stepped from the down to the up line, and the train passed along without doing any mischief, when almost instanta neously afterwards an up. train was perceived within a few yards of the man. The engine-driver at once sounded the whistle, and the guards applied the breaks vigorously, hoping to stop the train, but it was found impossible, and the engine struck the man with such violence as to throw him across the metals, when the wheels of the locomotive and carriages passed over his head and body, literally decapitating him, and covering that portion of the line with blood. The pas sengers in the train who witnessed the occurrence were most painfully excited. The deceased has left a widow and two children to deplore his untimely end. VICTORIA•STREET.—In compliance with the pro visions of the Act of Parliament under which this street has been formed, it became necessary that the high-constable of Westminster. Mr. Foster Owen, should certify that on or before the 3lst of July he had passed through Victoria street in a carriage, and found no obstruction. Accordingly on Thursday afternoon the high-constable, Mr. Gipps, and other Commissioners of the Westminster Improvements; Mr. Trollope, and Mr. Forty, burgesses; Mr. Hunt, the surveyor to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster; Mr. Pennithorne, surveyor to the Woods and Forests; Mr. Arntz, parish sur veyor; Mr. Rogers," parish solicitor; and Mr. Billing, the secretary to the Commissioners, proceed in three carriages to the entrance of Victoria-street, by Westunnster Abbey, when all the barriers were removed, and they passed through to the end in the Vauxhall Bridge-road, amid the hearty cheers of the men. The street is now open throughout for foot-passengers, but carriages will not be allowed to pass until after Wednesday. DEATH OF SIE PAGE DICK, BART. —This vene rable Baronet died on the 27th ult. at his residence in Lon don, aged 81. He succeeded his brother in the title in 1840. That gentleman succeeded in establishing, in 1821, his right to this baronetcy. The title was created in 1646. He is succeeded by his sou Charles.

La,t,:ver,iL g the membus of this Jetety had a soitit at the Freemasons' Tavern, Grs-:, t. Qui ett-strect. Lin coln's Inn-fields. Mr. Broffierton M.P., took the chair. and the company:numbered upwards of 300 per sons the great majority of whom wore vegetarians. Art entertainment was provided; coonsisinr, of savoury pies, mushroom pint, parsley tritters, rice fraters, oheeteeakes, various kit ds of fruits, tea,.eoffee, iced water, anti many other things not inclinied in the LiieS of animal food. At the close ot the repast the chair- matt proposed the health of the Queen, which was re sponded to with as much enthusiasm as if it had been drunk in something more exhilirating than tea, coffee, or water. After this the CHAIRMAN addressed the company, obse rving that he considered the objects of the present society were of a most important character, and well worthy the attention of the philanthropist and the patriot. The philanthropist was desirous of diminishing human . misery and increasing ,human happiness. If physical health and mental strength contributed to the promotion . of happiness, it mi g h t b e very truly said that happiness was en joyed- by those who supported the principles and embraced the doctrines ot this society. The reasons as signed by people for eating animal food were based upon custom, prejudice, and appetite; b ut i n his opinion, if they were to act upon a different course, and abstain from meat altogether, they would co ntributegr a e m at o l n y g to st the promotion of morality and universal peace mankind. If man was made to believe that he ought not to murder animals, he would never join murdering men. If they looked to the physical and anatomical organise. Lion ot man, they would find that he was a frugiverous or virivorous, and not a carnivorous animal; but he cora -1 tended that even upon the principle of economy, irre spective of those considerations he had mentioned, there was good reason to uphold the system sought to be established by this society. When they complained of the pressure of taxation, they should recollect that they might !MVO a great portion of this burden by abstaining from the use of intoxicating liquors. By doing this they would accomplish the repeal of the malt-tax, as far as they were personally concerned, and thus save that portion of 20 millions of taxation raised upon luxuries which fell to their share, excepting the amount which they were called upon to pay for police-rates and poor-rates which resulted from the crime and poverty engendered by the use of intoxicating liquors. Then, again, with regard to the economy of the vegetarian principle, they would find that there were three times - the quantity of nutriment in the vegetable than in the animal kingdom. For instance,l l there was much more nutriment in two pennyworth of peas than in ls. worth of beef. It had been proved that in every 1001bs. of beef there was three-fourths of water, and only 251bs. of nutriment; whereasiin the vegetables the nutri ment was in the inverse ratio. Chemists had shown that there was nothing nutritive in the flesh of animals except that which they abstained from feeding on, the products of the vegetable world. If this were the case and there could be no doubt of it—surely it would be better for them to take the vegetable food as nature pro vided it, instead of procuring it, at a much dearer rate, after it had been converted into animal matter. He (the Chairman) had experienced the benefits of the vegeta rian system for 42 years, and he could assure them that it tended to promote health, much more than that species of food which was generally eaten by man. Mr. J. SIMPSON, president of the society, called at tention to the objects of the institution, and the success which had attended it. The objects he observed, w e re to induce habits o f a b s ti nence from thel flesh of animals as food, by the dissemination of informatiem upon the subject, by means of tracts, essays, and lectures, proving the many advantages of a physical, intellectual, and moral character, resulting from vegetarian habits of diet; and thus to secure, through the association, example, and efforts of its members, the adoption of a principle which would tend essentially to true civilization, to uni versal brotherhood, and to the increase of human happi. ness generally. In proof of the success of the society, Mr. Simpson gave the following statistics of members to July 26, 1851 :—Member of Parliament, 1; county magistrate, 1; sideman, 1; physicians and surgeons, 21; ministers, 10; lecturers and authors, 10; pro!'mional men, 50; merchants, and manufacturers, 26 ; f armers , 11; pri vate gentlemen, 11; tradesmen, mechanics, and la bourers, 371; females, 205; males, 513; total 718. But though the number 01 members amounted to only 718. there were throughout the kingdom a large number of vegetarians hot belonging to the society. Mr. Simpson went on to show the ciifferenoo between the quality of nutritious motor in vegetables and that which is found in meat. Peas, fur instsree, contained 84 per cent. of nutritive matter, lentils 84 per cent., wheat 851 percent., and oatmeal, which formed a large portion of the food of Scotland, 91 r er coot.; whereas so 100 lb. of beef there was 63 and four-tenths of water and nearly 1310. of fat, leaving not more than 24 or 251 b. or nutritive matter. Ss. Id. will purchase 100/b. of beans, an4lls. Oil. would buy 100 lb. of wheat; whereas to got Ore same quantity of nutritive matter from beef, mutton, or lamb, at the ordinary price of 6d. to 91. per lb., would cost from 101. to 151. Science had proved that whereas beans could be digested in 24 hours, it would take 3i hours to digest a beef steak or a mutton chop. Potatoes took 3 hours to digest, and chicken, which was generally given to in valids, 31 hours. The flesh of a duck could not be di gested in less than 44 hours, whilst an equal quantity of boiled rice would not take more than li hoar to digest; and it had been shown that the flesh- of the pig took 51 hours to digest. All these facts, he contended, proved that the proper food of man was intended to con sist of fruits, herbs, and vegetables. But many persons asked what would become of the animals if mankind were not to eat meat? To this he would reply that there would not have been so many animals had not man tended to produce their increase for his own gratifica tion. Upon this point he (Mr. Simpson) added, that as the demand diminished so would the supply, and the farmer and grazier would find it more profitable to raise food for man than for beasts; and it had been calculated that a plot of ground which was adapted to the support of one beast would maintain noel), and in some instances thirty-five men. Where was it that fa- mine prevailed to a great extent?—in the sheep-walks of Scotland, and among the beast-providing, beast-feed ing districts of Roscommon. It must also be recollected that if man persisted in eating meat, he must incur the chances ut . disease, for it was a well-known fact that in London there were many establishments for the sale of diseased meats alone. Dickens, in his Household Words, had shown that in a certain district of the metropolis there were in immediate contiguity two large establishments —the one a manufactory of sausage meat, aid the other a knacker's yard, and there was a door which communicated between the two. In proof of the danger which arose from this system of manufac turing sausage meat, Mr. Simpson observed that at Charing-cross Hospital there was one case of a man who died from a wound caused by the knife of a sausage machine, and the surgeon who attended the pa'ient hav ing absorbed some of the virus from the body, became ill and died. Vegetarians, he continued to observe, were free from all dangers which arose from eating diseased meat; and he, moreover, contended that they were not liable to those contagious disorders which often sfEicted . the r persons who partook of animal food. During valence of cholera it was found that, notwithstan di n g medical men recommended abstinence from ve g e table bers of food, there was not one death among the the vegetarian society. Mr. Simpson proceeded arose point • out the mischief which he considered to inpreferonce from the ,consumption of animal food 0. flesh eating vegetables, and urged that the practice mem bers to came into existence subsequently to ; to our natures, practice which was altogether fore.gn d b children fqr fruits was proved by the taste displayed A from She fact telt they the flood.

THE PURSERS' ACCOUNTS.—We are glad to find that the Admiralty have very properly and justly determined that their minute with respect to the pursers' accounts shall not be retrospective, but shall take effect from and after the 26th June last. ARRIVAL OF THE APOLLO. —The Apollo, troop ship, Commander Rawstorne, which left Halifax on the 16th of July, arrived at Spithead yesterday, with the following troops, all in good health, viz.:—let Royal Regiment, under Lient.-Colonel Andrew Brown—offi cers, 18; ladies, 4; children, 6; female servants, 2; rank and file, 463; women, 24; children, 44. Royal Artil lery, Captain Bathurst —men, 33; women, 94l 9 e ; c c ie l , l :.l i oe l ci d ic. r el e : n l , 12—total, 616, with naval invalids. &c. Lieut. Pugh, of the Ist Royal Regiment, died on the passage home a few days' sail from Halifax, after a short illness, and was buried at sea on the banks of Newfoundland. Two children also died. The Apollo has also brought home some invalid seamen and supernumeraries from the station. The pas sage of this ship from shore to shore has been little more than fourteen days; and from what we hear she would have made the run in a day or two less time but for four days' fog on the banks of Newfoundland preventing her carrying sail at night. The Apollo conveyed the 92d Highlanders from Cork to Corfu, 16th Regiment from Corfu to Jamaica, the 97th from Jamaica to Halifax, and has now brought the Ist Royals home. She made a very quick passage from Montego Bay to Halifax , through the Straits of Florida, having run the distance in little more than fifteen days.
