On Saturday morning, pursuant to invitation, the Royal Commissioners, and Executive Committee of the Great Exhibition of 1851, with many distinguished fo reigners, arrived in Liverpool, on the invitation of Wil liam Brown,. , the p.►pular Member for South Lan cashire, for the purpose nf accepting that gentlemn's hospitality on board the magnificent steam-ship Atlantic, a floating palace of the new world, most appropriately selected by Mr. Brown to receive as guests the assem bled elite of the old world. Bes►des the noblemen and gentlemen more immedi• ately connected with the Exhibition, including the re presenta•ives of all nations, all the distinguished fo reigners in England holding official situations were .invited, together with the Lord Lieutenant and High Sheriff, the Mayors of Ose various towns of Lancashire, -and select personal friends. The Lotidon and North-Western Railway Company placed a special train, free of charge to the foreign visitors, at the disposal of the invited guests, the Royal Commissioners and other En 4 lish gentlemen paying excursion fares; but it was foetid that even the fares of the foreign visitors Mr. Brown had himself agreed to daftly. At ten o'clock a numerous company assembled on the lanclit.gtntage at St. George's Pier, where a steamer, specially engaged fur the occasion, received the guests for an excursion on the M , may. After some little de lay the n,mpany were taken on board the America, Captain Neil Shannon, British and North American royal mail steamer, which had just before left her moor ings in the Sloyne, on her outward voyage to New York. ['ere they were received with the utmost cordiality by IVIr. Charles M'lver, the agent for the British line - of mails, assisted by Mr. Fowler; the respected manager of that house. After minutely inspecting the transhipment f the mails from the Satellite tender to the America, the distinguished company returned on board their ex cursion boat, when a parting salute was fired from the America, and she stood out gallantly to sea. The Com missioners were next conducted to Birkenhead and Wood side, and had an opportunity of viewing the evolutions of many of the splendid yachts engaged in the race of the Royal M. rsey Yacht Club. The wind blew almost a gate, yet the weather overhead was remarkably fine, and nothing could exceed the delightful trip that this excur sion afforded. After going on board the Atlantic, and inspecting her truly magnificent accommodation, a floating palace in every sense of the word, the company returned to Liver pool at two o'clock, for a respite, previous to the ban quet, appointed for five p.m. The following distinguished individuals were among the guests present: ; Earl Granville, Marquis Guarzotii, Barons Von Parte and Closen, Counts Kergolay, Warelli, L. Serveston and Son; Chevaliers Pazzi, Lencisa, and Perizzi; Sir -James Anderson, Mr. J.

The chair was occupied by the worthy host, -Mr. Brown, and the vice-chair by Cap tain West, the commander of the ship. The whole was under the management of Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel, to whom it did - great credit. Of the wines it would be impossible to speak in too high terms of com mendation; the most choice vintages of all kiads were selected and set before the guests iu liberal profusion, and ample justice was done to Mr. Brown's princely hospitali , y. As soon as the cloth was removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and said that, es Englishmen, it always afforded - Cheat the highest pleasure to -testify , tn-ir loyalty, by drinking as the first toast upon all fes tive occasions the health of an illustrious lady who was not more ennobled by her high station us Sovereign of these realms, than in her private position as a wile and a motn , r. He therefore gave " The Queen, the Duchess of Lancaster." The toast was'rapturously received, and the national anthem sung by a party of professionals, who sang also several eloes in the course of the banquet. Mr. BROWN next proposed the health of the illustrious Prince who had been the originator of that Palace of In• dustry, which bad been the means of bringing to this country au many di.tinguished foreigners, and enabled some of those strangers to meet together, although from all parts of the earth, in the bonds of concord, and for the advancement of science and human progress. He proposed the health of "Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family." Glee—" What shall he have who killed the deer?" The Cueeametr, in proposing the next toast, said it was due to the governor of a most enterprising and in telligent people, whom we find in every quarter of the gleba—under the burning sun of Ethiopia, or pursuing tee whale in the arctic regions—ut whom the eloquent Burke had said there was no sea but had witnessed their toil, and no country but had benefited by their presence. I was due to the governor of such a people that his name should be received with honour on an occasion like the present, when they were assembled in a vessel built in and bearing the flag of that country to whichhe alluded. If that people could do so much in the gristle of their youth, what might be expected from them in the bone of their manhood? He proposed " The Presi• dent of the United States," and begged to associate therewith the name of Mr. Davis, charge d'affdres fur that country.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. DAVIS, in acknowledging the honour done to the President of his country and to himself, could have wished that the task had devolved on some one higher in the diplomatic circle, but he knew that their Presi dent would look upon a fife like this with pleasure, and with gladness upon the restoration to service of this gallant ship, whose accident last winter had spoken de gelation to many a home, end carried sorrow to thousands of hearts on the otber side of the Atlantic.—(Hear.) They had been told that the products of America were mesgre in the Crystal Palace, but let those who said so come and look at Livery ol—let them look into the docks and warehouses, as the R 1 , 51 Commissioners and others had done that day. Let them see what produce there was from America, and the ships fleeting on the Mersey under her flag, and they would behold what the the di scendauts of Englishmen hid done in so short a time, awl what vast obstacles they must have encoun tered and overcome since they separated from the mothor country.—(Cheers.) He would not detain them longer, as the worthy mayor of Liverpool was anxious for their company that evening, but conclude by thanking Mr. Brown for proposing the health of the President while sitting under the American flag, and the company for the handsome manner in which they had received the toast.—(Loud cheere) C O , i n m o m w i te s n m e e x r t s p who o h p o o s h e a d d , " b T y h e t h e H e e a x l e t h r d o s f e o t t h s e Ro M ya r i good deal of personal exertion, and all their iefluence, endeavoured to assemble the company on this occasion. Song—" Be peace our guiding star." Earl Gnertvieez begged to thank them, on behalf of the Royal Germissiouers, and on his own part, for the handsome manner in which they had received the toast. There is in the Exhibition (said his Lordship) a model of Liverpool, which is daily surrounded by thousands of anxious and gratified spectators; but Mr. Brown, not satisfied with that, like one of the merchant princes of whom this country 'might justly boast—a merchant prince in every sense of the word—one of those who had brought Liverpool to what it is—resolved on giving our foreign guests an opportunity of visiting the town itself, and of partaking t,f this magnificent repast in a Transatlantic steatner.—(Cheers.) It was most appro priate that men who were assembled to promote the arts and industry, and to forward the comforts of mankind, should meet in a vessel of this sort. The idea was most happy, end showed how absurd it is to prophecy that anything is impossible in the present day. Mr. Davis had reminded them that they were under the American flag; he might say they were meeting in the middle of Liverpool on American ground.—(Loud cheers.) It was a subject for rejoicing that this occasion had given Mr. Davis the opportunity of making those happy ex pressions of opinion in regard to the two nations which they had just heard. his Lordship next referred Ca to 00ma re d the h ff Tr before various Trade. ie7 Hm imatters d fi capacityb, en connected one au fsa especially with e the town and trade of Liverpool, that had n a committee m flubero t f o the see whether a line of packets trading from the United States to this port, in friendly competition with this line, should be removed from Liverpool or not, and he and his colleagues had reported that it should not be re moved.—(Hear.)lned(aLietratteieir:3di:fhf Gr. herself,o Granville) n r t v h t ie l e pt ) aehnfe) d dyp i l d ethh E t ona o fdt t Lmf c oi l viv a ge i nhr m d.t any d oo t f i: nckosmwf would tdh toet a c t l b ) e n 3: 2 done alt a e n rin g g o othd a fo n r n l n r c e l l a a s n i d a , n t haety whichltnew thatLiverpoolhav e itg rwe great t u d weightave in next ad raenfernrheidecttioon to the Gthlh,,nddearrrßivielld..ovlle ll tw i osf Liverpool as L p n o oi r vt d e s rpf h o i nralhhim, be said, to com plaintoo much lest be ehnuld alarm their southern neighbours a s t o t h e re moval of the megaeines to their vicin ity. — (Laugbter and een g t . h.ahtl,)w the n pe up, " but he would not say cheers.) lieferting to the progress made by the port of the noble epeaker said that in the reign of George ILL the extent of docks win not more thou some few hundred yards, while now they extended over four miles, and will soon reach five; at the former period the population was only 86,000; now it is over half a mil lion. He did not advert to this in glorification of any portion of the British empire, bat as they had seen in the Exhibition the collection made by Mr. Archer, of samples of all the produce brought to Liverpool from the different parts of the world, they had to-day, through Mr. Brown's hospitality, beheld the ships that bring that produce, the warehouses where it is placed, and were now enabled to form some opinion as to the connexiou of the prosperity of Liverpool with the peaceful progress of the civilised nations of the earth.—(Great cheering.) In conclusion, his Lordship bore testimony to the ala crity and cordiality with which the distinguished fo reigners had co-operated in all matters connected with the duties of the Royal Commissioners, and resumed his seat amid loud and protracted applause. Mr. BROWS, in proposing the next toast, said the Noble Lord had only expressed what the whole nation felt, that the foreign commissioners had met us with a cordiality the most cheering, and as this' was not the first., so he hoped it would not be by many the last, time they would have the happiness of meeting on occasions like present before their departure from this coun try. He proposed " The Foreign Commissioners," which was drank with all the honours. _ . M. ZAIRAI3, the Turkish Commissioner, said, that al though there were many gentlemen present connected with the toast far more competent to acknowledge the honour than himself, he must be permitted to say he felt highly flattered at the selection made by their worthy host, and in his own name, and on behalf of the rest of the foreign commissioners, he tendered his warmest thanks for the manner in which they had received their names. He would aay that those of hie countrymen who bed_returned, had.left Belgad withaMeong impression of admiration for the ilinitfrons Prince who had origi nated the Palace of the Industry of all Nations—for it was the work not of a day bat of an age—and of admira tion also of the great nation which had so splendidly car ried out the original thought. Mr. BROWN next proposed " The Executive Com mittee," which was drunk with much applause, and ac knowledged by Mr. Cosa, who observed that he should have felt deep regret that the Executive Committee had not a better representative than himself on this occasion, were it not that he was enabled to let their foreign guests into a secret they would not otherwise have known. He must tell them, then, that they were in no small degree in debted to their worthy chairman for the existence of the Great Exhibition.—(Hear, hear.) Yes; for as in the moral, so it is in the physical world, there is a con tinuous system of cause and effect, and as that Hon. Gentleman was a most zialous supporter of the system of penny postage, the system introduced by the gentle man on his left (Mr. Rowland Hill)—(Vociferous cheer ing)—so from penny postage sprang increased commu i ieation. and this mainly contributed to the erection of the fabric they beheld with admiration.—(Cheers.) They had in the Crystal Palace a sample of a Belgian post-office. Instead of mere posts in the streets the Belgians had turned them to practical account, and as it was not well to be too slug g ish in carrying on im provements, and as one good turn deserves another, and as the Exhibition was o w ing to the penny postage — (Hear, hear)—he was now enabled to announce that the favour would be returned.—(Load cheers.) An associ ation had been formed for the purpose of carrying on an intercommunication between nations, and already many foreign Ministers, including those of France, Austria, and Pruisia, besides Lord Ashburton, and, he eight add, their worthy chairman also, had joined it with a view to impress on all the Governments they represent the advantages of intercommunication, by means of a much easier and better mode of transit. The prospect was good, and he trusted the object would speedily be ac complished.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN rose and said that as the Mayor of Liverpool had invited a very large party at the Town- i hall to meet their guest, he must travel a little out of the order of the list of toasts to enable his Worship to meet those whom he had invited; he would, therefore, without preface, propose " The Mayors of the southern division of Lancashire, who have favoured us with their company to-day." Drank with all the honours. _ _ _ The Mayor of Liverpool (Joltz; BENT, Esq.) thanked them not only for drinking his health on this occasion, but for the opportunity thus afforded him of offering on behalf of the Town Council and the inhabitants of Liver pool their cordial welcome to the Executive Committee, the Foreian Commissioners, and the jury of the Great Exhibition, at this hospitable table. Though Liverpool could not boast of any such variety of productions as those concentrated in the Crystal Palace, he hoped the gentlemen who Lad visited them to-day had seen much to admire in this great and growing emporium, and that an active and honourable rivalry might arise to promote the arts and sciences, and, under Providence, the good will and friendly intercourse of all nations.---(Load cheers.) He regretted that the shoitness of the time would not allow more opportunity for him to entertain and receive them as he could with at the Town-hall, but he would be happy to see them even if but for a short time. His Worship retired amid general cheering'. The next toast was " The healths of Mr. Paxton and Mr. Fox;" in introducing which Mr. BROWN said he had almost committed an Irishis,n, by saying feat if the Crystal Palace contained notbini; but that would have b-en sufficient to attract their distinguished foreign guests to this country. lie therefore propcsed " The healths of the gentlemen who had designed and con structed it."—(Cheers.) Mr. LOCKE. M.P., being called on by the chairman, on behalf of Messrs. I'axto❑ and Fox said he was sorry such a task had been left in such hands, but he supposed it was because he was in some degree connected with a profession of the same character as one of those gentle men. In Liverpool, where they tee floating in the dock such magnificent ships as this iu which they were, all might judge of the progress wade is such a building as the Crystal 'Uwe. If be bad words he would pro nounce au eulogium on those two gentlemen for their respective merits i❑ that great work, the design of which is so chaste and the execution co perfect that it is a marvel among public works. He had always a pleasure in recording the merit of those engaged in the same protestion as hirnailf, and therefore felt pleasure in acknowledging the honour they had done to Masses. Paxton and Fox.—(Cheers.) Mr. BROWN then proposed the health of " The Jury of the Great Exhibition," who had been most anxious to do justice to all parties, but they found from the multi tude of good things brought before their notice, that their task was almost insurmountable. The toast was acknowledged by Dr. lIERRMANN, who spoke in the German language, and made au elo quent address. The following toasts were severally given and duly responded to: Success to the undertakings of all men of letters and science, engineers, and mechanics, whose heads and whose hands have added immeasurably to the social comforts of mitokintl." " Peaceful commerce, may it ever flourish, to carry religion and civilisation into the remotest corners of the world." M. WoLowsKt (France) responded in an elequent speech iu the French language, which was repeatedly cheered. He said then" was a double necessity imposed upon them of culttvatieg the Pesc,f u l arts—the march of commerce and of populatio n . Th e E xpos ition of In dustry must have a considerable effect in promoting the material, moral, and political progress of ma , kind by lealing to a fraternity of the pulite, and the spitted of education and peace. " The Armies and Navies of the Great Nations of the Earth; may they ever meet as friends, and not as foes, to co-operate for some great public good." Colonel B. P. JOHNSON (America) said, as one em ployed in the defensive service of his country, he trusted that the preent assemblage of nations would lead to the result propounded in the sentiment they had adopted. He might say that the army and navy of the country he belonged to never again desired to be called on to meet those of other nations in war, and he hoped the time had arrived when " the nations should not learn war any more." " The World's Commercial Fleet; may it continue to navigate the ocean free from war's alarms, and add UP the prosperity, the happiness, and the social comforts of the hut:nun race." - - Chevalier LECCISCA (Sardinia) claimed for his coun tryman (Columbus) the honour of discovering two worlds vvlJ.ire only one was known to exist previously. That was a part of the destiny of science, and the friendly meeting of nations muss be both a cause and a consequence of its progress. Mr. BaowN then gave " The Health of Captain West," who had so courteously received the guests on board his ship.—(This was received with loud and general cheer ing, and " three times three for Captain West in his own cabin," were given with great enthusiasm.) Captain WEST replied, in a breaf but pithy speech, in which be expressed the honour and pleasure he felt at meeting so distinguished a company on board the ship which he had the good fortune to command. Earl GRANVILLE proposed "the Health of their worthy Host," in neat and appropriate terms, cha racterising the banquet as at once magnificent and un ostentatious; to which Mr. BROWN replied in a short but effective address, in the coarse of which he stated that he trusted the Crystal Palace might hereafter be truly called the Peace Palace; and referring especially to Liverpool, he said that in the reign of Chqrles 11. it had but fifteen little boats on the Mersey, none of them more that 150 tons; in the re i gn of Queen Anne the first dock was built where the Custom hou.o now stands, and for half a century its progre-s was but slow. At the beginning of the present ceatury the town received 28,0001. a ycar in dock dues; now they received half a million annually. At the commence ment of the century the docks covered only about 200 acres of watttr space; now, as they had heard, they wero many miles iu extent, and had cost more than ten millions sterling. If it was a:ked how Liverpool had thus rapidly progressed, he would inform them, for the benefit of their stranger guests. Wales supplied her with copper, iron, and I,aid, North wich with salt, Birmingham with hardware, M acc i„ f i di with silk, Sheffield with cutlery, Leeds witii cloths, Bradford with stuffs, and coals from everywhere, He hoped only that those nations whos:e representatives were around him, would take from England those a r ti c l es w hi c h s h e could supply cheaper than they could otherwise procure them, and give us in return those things which we re quire for our own country. That was the true principle of commerce, and he was happy to have had an oppor tunity of expressing to them his opinions as a British merchant, and to see them as guests at his table. " The Press, which enables us to make progress in all the civilised arts of lire, by faithfully recording the dis coveries and passing events of the age," was then given from the chair, and briefly but happily acknowledged by Mr. MecnomALD, after which the company returned ashore to partak,• of the Mayor's hospitality. Upwards of 900 guests bad assembled at the Town• hall, where the eveni❑g was terminated both happily and brilliantly. BOULOGNE AND ENS RAILWAY. A notice was posted in the Stock-Exchange on Tours day from Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, London agents to the Boulogne and Amiens Railwsy, that an agreement was signed on Wedn9sday at Paris between the boards of that company and the Northern of France for an amal gamation, which is to be submitted to the approval of the respective shareholders. The terms are briefly as follows —The Northern takes the B mlogne line, with all its advantal,es, and assumes all its obligations. In return the 75,000 original shares of 201. each are to be ex changed for bonds of the Northern Company of a like sum, bearing interest at the rate of 3 per cent., or 12s. annually, payable half-yearly, such, bonds to be paid off off at par, all within a period of seventy-five years, and so may each year, according to lot. The sinking fund which will be allowed will extinguish about 200 bonds the first year, more the next, as the interest on these then ceases, and so on until all are paid eff in the stipu lated time. The interest will only commence from the Ist instant, but the Boulogne holders will receive for the past half-year's dividend whatever the traffic may have produced. The bonds will have the .whole traffic of the Northern Company as security for thirty-eight years. By that time a large portion of the shares will be paid off, and the revenues of the Boulogne line will be amply sufficient to secure the interest and repayment of the rest. It has been agreed, however, that if the concession of the Northern line be extended, the secu rity of their whole revenue is to be given for the en tire term of the concession. The general bearing of this arrangement is considered to be such as will command the unanimous assent of the shareholders of both companies. The Boulogne will receive more than twice the interest their line has produced as an inde pendent undertaking, and the repayment of the shares I st the full value originally subscribed is assured on the fullest security. The Northern, on the other hand, ob tain the only link wanting to put the whole interna tional communication in their hands, and get posses sion of a line which, however unproductive it may hitherto have been, cannot fail, when worked conjointly with the whole line to Paris, to command a great and increasing business. Now that the useless competition between Boulogne and Calais will cease, both will be rendered available to the fullest extent of their re sources; the English traffic will have every facility by the shortest way, and the injury which the Northern and Boulogne both received from the competition of other and leis convenient routes will no longer be possible. The Northern will, besides, have an additional advan tage from the long lease of the Boulogne (ninety-nine years). By giving up a portion of it, they may rea sonably hope to obtain an extension of the lease of the main line from its present duration to an average of 75 years, and thus far diminish their annual allow ance to the sinking fund, as to be able very considerably to increase the divisible profits. It may be observed that the present agreement differs most materially from the indefinite one which was attempted about a year since, and which was properly rejected by the share holders. It secures every Boulogne share being even tually paid off at 201.; while in that they were to be paid off at 81, an d it gives considerably more interest, be rides guaranteeing it clear of any contingencies. It is plain that although the Boulogne line will be very valu able to the Northern, it is so dependent on the main line that it would have been difficult, under the most fa vourable circumstances, to have earned while working as an independent undertaking as much as is now se cured, and the shareholders, therefore, owe gratitude to their directors for having steadfastly maintained their interests until such a result cou'd be brought about. The Northern Company have no less reason to congratulate themselves; and, at the same time, the public will be benefited, since the adjustment will tend in a very im portant degree to facilitate the international communi cation. — Times.

By order of the Court o! Directors, D. T. LYOSS CIANCHY, Sec. BILLINGSGATE FISH MARKET. The new front building on Billingsgate-quay is now nearly finished, and when the scaffolding is taken away, will present a noble appearance from the river. The structure is not unlike the letter T turned upside down, resting upon twenty arches supported by iron pillars, there being three towers, a short one at each end, and a tall tower where a clock is to be placed in the middle. The building seems substantial and fire-proof, there being little other material observable than bricks, free stone, and iron. The subterranean shell-fish market is also in a forward state, and may very readily be finished when it suits controlling powers. One object, which very forcibly strikes every visitor to Billingsgate, is the row of houses that stands betwixt Darkhouse .lane and the market where business is carried on. In consequence of the great increase of fish to this market since it was first built, the confusion and uproar that . go on in the morning between the hours of five and nine, is inde scribable. The question suggesting itself is:—" Are those houses to come down for the purpose of making more room for transacting business?" And then, again, when you look at the new front building, and see that it is carried from one end of the quay to the other, darken ing the window lights of some of the houses in this row of building, and.otherwise putting them completely in the shade, as regards beauty of structure, it immediately occurs to you, Oh! yes, they must come down." This question, however, although several times mooted, is not yet finally settled. Besides the improvenseets going on at Billingsgate market, in the shap e of beauti• tying it, &c., it is also cheering to observe that there is now a spirit of enterprise afloat for the purpose of pro ducing a first•rate quality of fish for the market, by resuscitating the decaying system of deep sea fishing. Latterly two-deckecLwelled vessels of large tonnage have been built, and are now engaged in their respective trades. One is named the - Pearl of Harwich, dandy cutter rigged, 80 tons burthen; the other is named the Spirit of Greenwich, schooner rigged, burthen 114 tons. Both are beautiful models of vessels, possess excellent sailing and weatherly qualities, and looking more like yachts, when under canvas, than vesse l s b u il t f or fi s hi ng purposes. There is always a feeling of pleasure when a person has to record advanced improvements in any department whatever; that feeling, h o w ever , i s diff eren t when obliged to notice any retr ogra d e move m en t Bil lingsgate-market is not now what it used to be with respect to proper regulations as regards cleanliness. The order at one time was, " The market should be opened at four A.m., sales to commence at five, and the market must be scrubbed and clean washed out by one P.M." This order, good whilst in operation, has sadly relaxed. You may now go sometimes at threw and four o'clock in the afternoon, and see the place not much unlike a horse stable, covered over with teraw and filth; and there is oftentimes a smell about the market, particularly when the weather is warm, that is quite unpardonable, when such an abundance of water is always at hand. CAMBRIDGE MILITARY ASYLUM. A public dinner for the support of is new foundation to Commemorate the charitable career of his late Rdyal Highness the Duke of Cambrid g e was held on Friday night at the Linden Tavern, with General the Marquis of Londonderry in the chair, supported by the Marquis of Granby, M P., the Earl of Enuiskillen and Viscount Combermere, General V iscount Lorten, and the Viscounts Seah am and Chelsea, and Lord Rdlceby, of the Scots Fusilier Guards. Of the dinner we need only say that it was numerously attended, that it comprised all the delicacies of the season, and that it was served with great taste and judgment. Mr. Toole discharged the duties of a toastmaster with his usual energy, and the band of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, under the direction of Mr. Grattan Cooke, the master of the band, and a com pany of vocalists, under the guidance of Mr. Farquhar son Smith, served to enliven the proceedings of the even ing. The usual loyal toasts were successively proposed by the chairman, and heartily responded to by the as semblod guests. The memory of his late Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge was then toasted in solemn silence, but hearty cheers were elicited by the chairman proposing the healths of the present Duke, of the King of Hanover, and the Duchess of Gloucester. The next toasts were " the Church and State," and " the Army and Navy," to which latter toast a suitable reply was made by Viscount Combermere, who, in his turn, proposed the health of the chairman, the Mar quis of Londonderry. The Noble Marquis, in returning thanks, led the company to the business of the evening. He expressed his entire concurrence with those who sought to establish a lasting memento of the signal services which his lamented friend the late Duke of Cambridge had done to the charities of the country; but he also rejoiced that the promoters of the scheme had fixed upon a plan which had not only prac tical utility to commend it, but which was also strictly in the spirit of the late Duke's beneficent career. Instead of a dead monument, it had been resolved to erect a living memorial. Instead of a stone column, the Cam bridge committee were agreed to lay the foundation of a refuge, and to make a provision for the widows of non-commissioned officers and privates of her Majesty's land forces. This was a great and noble object. If, indeed, he (the Noble Marquis) were allowed to ex press the most secret Alen of his heart, he, as a soldier, would say, that he was terry the provision had not been made for the sons of soldiers rather than for their widows. The discipline of the army was against soldiers' meninges, end as for the soldiers' boys, t h ey had lately been deprived of many of the asylums which formerly had provided tor their sustenance and educa tion. This, however, was a point on wllich h e wou ld not insist. The plan, as it was, was humane, noble, and generous, and one which, had his lamented friend the Dake of Cambridge 'Ned, would, no doubt have obtaired his approval and supp ort. His Lordship concluded with an earnest appeal to support c.f the nascent charity', for which he said the sum of 2,0001. had already been col lected, and towards the funds of which his Majesty the King of Hanover had given the generous donation of 3001. Donations and subscriptions to the amount of 5001. were soctunced tin the were of the eveniug• NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Sailors' Home at Portsmouth is progressing most satisfactorily. The seamen have found out the many advantages the home which Captain W. H. Hall originated possesses over the common lodging-houses, and the home is now the peaceful resort not only of the seamen out of employ, but of others whey on shore on leave from the ships in commission. It is reported that Mr. Baldock, storekeeper of Sheer ness Dockyard, will succeed to the vacant office of store keeper at Devonport; and that Mr. Dent will be ap pointed to active service again as storekeeper of Sheer ness Dockyard. Mr. Grant's cooking and distilling gallery having been now sufficiently tested, and the satisfactory results and its great usefulness reported on by the captains of all vessels where it has been placed on board, will now be regularly adopted in the British navy. The manufac ture of these galleys—which has been hitherto carried on at the Clarence Victualling-yard under the inven tor's personal inspection, and, since his promotion, under the superintendence of Mr. Davis, the master attendant of that yard—will now forthwith be removed to Ports mouth Dockyard, to Mr. Murray's department. Another manufactory will also bo carried on at Woolwich. A large-class galley is now nearly ready for the great iron screw steam-trooper Simoon, which will be ready by the time that ship is completed, and will then be placed on board.

The former has received considerable damage in her starboard quarter; the latter carried away her flying jibboom, but proceeded for her destination. Commander Hall, of the Coast Guard Service, has just received from the underwriters of the Seringapatam, which grounded near Portland a few weeks bince, an elegant silver tea-service as an acknowledgment of the valuable servic , s rendered by him on the cccabion. FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY AOCIDENT. . - - CHESTER•LE-STREET, SATURDAY NIG LIT.-4 tearful accident happened this afternoon on the Puntop and Shields Railway at Eden-hill, about six miles from this place. Recently a quantity of iron stone has been sent west, and as the incline at Twizle-bank was made with the object of running coals east and hauling empty wag gons west, a locomotive engincewas engaged to assist in hauling up the iron•stono. Last Saturday a new engine, No. 119, was sent from the works at South Shields for that purpose. About hall-past one this afternoou, the work being nearly over for the week, this engine was running single and unattached from the bank-top west. There were tour persons, besides the engine-driver and stoker, sitting upon it. It was going at a pretty smart pace along the top of an embankment, at a place called Eden-hill, when one of the rails sprang out of its chair, and instead of dropping into it again jumped to one side, and in a moment caused the engine to plunge over the embankment, a height of about 12 or 14 feet. Two of the men, the fireman and a person named Sivinburne, partly jumped and were partly thrownfrom the engine to a considerabip distance. With the exception of injuries to their face by beiug thrown violently to the earth, they were not seriously hurt. After throwing these men off in the manner described, the engine fell with its funnel towards the embankment, and then rolled over on its side, burying the other four men under it. There were a few men about the bank top at the time of the accident, and the alarm being given they were soon en the spot; the intelligence of the accident being also sent to an adjoining colliery village, the villagers, men and women, shortly followed. Every exertion was made to rescue the poor fellows buried under the engine, but it was a considerable time before this could be done, as the engine weighed some seven or eight tons, and took some time to lift. Two of the poor fellows—John Mann, an en,ginernan; and William Richardson; a bank-rider — were quite dead when taken our, and were bruised in a most shocking manner, the side of the engine having fallen upon them. A young man named George Moffett (a fitter) and a pitman (a stranger) were more fortunate; having fallen where the pressure was less violent, they were dug out with each a broken thigh. An express having been sent off to this town for assistance, medical men were on the spot shortly after the men were dug out, and paid every attention to those alive. The wounded men are in a very exhausted condition, but Moffat was sent home to Shields by a special engine, and the other poor man to a neighbouring house. The bodies of the dead men were taken to their homes, a short distance frilin the spot where the accident took place. A number of men have been sent up from South Shields tnis evening, with shears, &0., to try to get the engine on the line again, and it is expected that an in quest will be held on the bodies of the two men killad on Monday, when a searching investigation will be made into the cause of the accident. The above particulars, however, were related by a person who witnessed the oc currence. - Varga. THE LONDON WEATHER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES, Sir,—Yesterday having presented one of the most sensitive specimens of the variablmtess of this climate, I am induced to send you some observations thereon from my notes. Since Monday the elements have been in a very unsettled state, with a negative air, which has prevailed since the 2d inst. Tuesday was stormy, with heavy showers of rain and thunder. Wednesday, the temperature did not exceed 69 degrees in the shade, and and sank to 52 at night. Yesterday morning the ther mometer rose gradually till the index reached 67 degrees at one o'clock P.M., when a heavy shower set in, which, though of short duration, deprived the atmo sphere of 9 degrees of heat in less than half an hour, the murcury sinking to 58 degrees. A little before three o'clock there was heavy rain and thunder, and at a quarter to five o'clock there was a violent squall, with soaking rain. The temperature was then 56 degrees, and sank to the extraordinary cold for this month of 44 degrees during the night, presenting a difference, as corn• pared with the highest in the shade of the same day, of 23 degrees, but compared with the registry of the 2d inst. of 40 degrees. The barometer has been very fickle; having fallen to 29.66 inches, as it was at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, it suddenly started up and reached 30.05 in. by nine o'clock this morning. The most re markable feature of the month has been the ungenial state of the air since the 2d inst., produced from nrege: Live clouds and currents of wind, which have aloe be_g the positive electricity from the animate circuitasay:7Bl as from the earth. The mean heat of y compared with that deduced from the samed "'diminution ob servation of the 2d exhibits a continue d diminution of the former throughout the day and night of 15 degrf showing 56;1- degrees, and the 2dinst: 7i degrees.

The grand extra day, and third .of the rite took plates pe ci Saturday, and was nurner i Xfy and fashionablt st et .nded. It the Leavy rai n an cotch mist of Thuhday damped the ardour of the Ilighlandere, and if Friday, with its cloudy sky and threatening aspect, was not exactly the weather to be desired for klite champetre, the glorious sunshine of Saturday amply 'compensated the lovers of out-of-door sports for the sad discomfort of the two preceding days. The games we re nearly the same, but, owing to the fineness of the iveather, they passed off with much greater eclat. The foot-races were capiail, and the dancing to the inspiriting strains of Macka;,'e pjees was of the genuine Highland sort, the hearty, excitieg shout of the kilted Gauls, as vv ith life and metal in their heels they danced the reel of Tuilocb, being re-echoed by the assembled company, who soe med quite as delighted as the principal actors in the scene. O ne young man especially distinguished himself for th e a d_ mirabte manner in wlech he danced the Highland fling, end the eery grace and unerring step he displayed in the sword dance. Tne morris dancing, under the HU_ perinteneeece of the incomparable Flexmore, assisted by his clever pupil, Mr. Richard Gardner, was lent, and gal e general satisfaction. The usual Highland games, with ieucuig, okligie.stick, wrestling, sack and wheelbarrow racing, followed each other iu rapid WOs crssioa, and kept the audience continually on the alert. Tree sack races were most laughable. To see the unfor innate bagged racers, straining every nerve, endeavour ing, by tripping steps and eccentric jumps, to outstrip each other; the heavy falls, and the futile efforts to get op again, were quite sufficient to call a smile upon the countenance of the greatest malcontent. And what added to the mirth and fun very considerably was the unceremonious manner in which Flexmore would favour soma of the prostrate heroes with a stroke or two across their backs with his stick, and peremptorily order' them to get up. Of course getting up was easier seise than done, and it generally happeued that after a few excessively ridiculous efforts to obey the stern naanda'mr, they had no alternative than to lie quietly on their backs, completely discomfited, till such time as coarse considerate individual would be good enough to reinstate them on their legs. The wheelbarrow races and jingling were equally laughable. Many other games, in which Scotch, Engli s h , and French took part, passed ' the time off most agreeably. If the weather on Thursday and Friday had been more propitious, this' gat h er i ng wou ld h ave far outshone that of former years; and if the is to be held annually (and we trust it will be so), it is to be hoped that next year it will be under more favourable auspices. Independently of the en j oyment to b e d e- . rived by the expatriated Highlander from witnessinu the sports of his native country, such g at h er i ngs, wher the representatives of many nations are engaged ire emulating each other in harmless and invigorating games and pastimes, with pleasure to themselves and delighting all around them, tend to knit them together in th e b on d s of friendship, and to hasten the removal of prejudi ces which time alone can effectually eradicate. If the P eace Society. with Mr. Cobden at its head, could only make arrangements for having a series of monster, Atm like that in Holland-park all over the world, suck means, in course of time, might have as great an influ ence in bringing about that peaceful millennium so de. voutly to be wished for as volumes of speeches on inter national arbitration, or an indefinite number of protests against any appeal to arms in cases of national quarrels; at least, it the notion cause a smile to our readers, they, we imagine, can scarcely consider the idea of arriving at universal peace in that manner more absurd than by any other. The Queen, who has hitherto honoured the Scot tish fetes with her presence, did not make her appear ance on either of the days, and some disappointment was manifested by the audience at the circumstance. Lord and Lady Holland and family were there, and as they left in the evening were loudly cheered—as indeed they ought to be, for the handsome manner in which his Lordship places his beautiful park at the disposal of the society is beyond all praise. As it was not generally known that there was to be an extra day, the stands were not quite so full as on Friday; but the fielders mustered in immense force, and Saturday may be fairly considered as the best day of the Jae. KNARESBOROUGH ELECTION. KNARESBOROUGH, SATURDAY.—The nomination of candidates seeking to represent this borough in the place of the lion. W. S. Lascelles, deceased, took place, upon hustings erected in the Market-place, to-dey. Up to yesterday morning the candidates were Thomas Collins, jun., Esq., Conservative, a townsman, whose family have been connected with the borough for the last 200 years, and whose father, the Rev. T. Collins. 8.D., is the present vicar; and W. H. Watson, Esq., Q C., a stranger to the place, a Free-trader, and other wise Liberal in politics. Both the candidates bad addressed the electors during the week, and the friends of each seemed pretty confi dent of success until yesterday morning, when Mr. Watson intimated his intention to withdraw from the contest. "I find," he says in his address, " local in fluence has so far prevailed that I cannot see any reason. Able hope of success if I should go to the poll. I there. tore at once retire from the contest, thanking those gentlemen of the Liberal party who have given me their support." After the issue of this address it was naturally sup posed that Mr. Collins would be returned without op. position. However, in the evening it was rumoured that Andrew Lawson, Esq., would be put in nomination on the hustings next day, and consequently, at an early hour this niornirg, Mr. Collins issued a handbill stating that if such a course v , ere pursued it would be without 11r. L'iwseit'a authority, as that gentleman had pledged himself to him (Kr. Collins) a rive days before, that he certainly 611:,old not interfere so long he remained in the field. There is no tioubt that this was the fact. Nevertheless, the Radicals, smarting under the disap pointment of being obliged to withdraw their Free-trade cLuciid , ,te, were determined to put Mr. Collins to the in convenience and coat of a poll. After the usual preliminaries upon the hustings, sir. BOND, of Knaresherough, nominated Mr. Collins as a fit and proper person to represett the borough of Knaresborough in Parliament.—(Cheers.) Mr. CHARLES Seem of Knaresborough, grocer, and hitherto a professed Whig in politics, seconded the nomination. Mr. Kum, the landlord of the Elephant and Castle Hotel, the head-quarters of the Free-trade candidate, then proposed Andrew Lawson, Esq., of Aidborough Hall. Mr. HARRISON seconded the nomination. Mr. COLLINS now came forward and addressed the electors. lie expressed surprise that Mr. Lawson should have been put in nomination under the circumstances of this election, which were so well known to all present. —(Hear, hear, and hisses.) He could assure them that Mr. Lawson knew nothing whatever of this movement, and that it never had been his intention to come forward as a candidate, because he had pledged himself to him distinctly that, so long as ho remained in the field, he should not think of doing so.—(Cheers and uproar.) A show of hands was then taken, and the returning officer declared it to be in favour of Mr. Collins, where upon a poll was demanded by the party who had put Mr. LawA.n in Domination. _ Mr. COLLINS then moved a vote of thanks to the re turning officer, which was Leconded by Mr. Kim sad carrier]. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. On Saturday last the Queen, instead of going direct to the Exhibition Building, stopped to inspect the model houses for families near the Knightsbridge barracks. She was there received, at about nine o'clock, by Mr. Mke. The Earl of Shaftesbury, Mr. Roberts, and Mrs Chadwick were alto present, and conducted her Majesty um ugh the rooms. We have already described the peutilt , ir constructive arrangement of the model lodging houses erected by his Royal Highness on his own ac count, with a hope of stimulating visitors to the Exhi bition whose position may enable them to carry out a similsr undertaking. The Queen appeared much gres#- fled, and expressed her approbation of the very comfortabie arrangements therein made for the poorer classes. After halt an boar's stay her Majesty walked act to one of the small exit doors on the foreign side tff: building, up the nave to the staircase in the gaulu'r ei department.
