VISIT OF FOREIGNERS TO THE MIDDLESEX HOUSE Os' CORRECTION. -On Monday, P. Thankeem Khan, the Egyptian Admiral, and Syed Abdallah, with several ladies and gentlemen and their suite, paid a visit to the Middlesex House of Correction, Coldbath-square, for tha purpose of making an examination of the arrangements of the interior and of the prison discipline. The party was received by Captain Chesterton, the governor, when they went over the prison, accompanied by the chief officer. Having viewed the different yards and the various offices of the establish ment, they left the gaol, expressing their approval cf the various plans adopted for the reformation of offender, and of the excellent means to promote the sanitary condition of the prison A sew days pri vious M. Vanham, principal officer of the Belgian police, with some French detectives, also visited the gaol, when they inquired into the case of the Geman who a short time ago was committed from Bow street on the charge of stealing articles from the counters at the Crystal Palace, which were of trifling value. The ac cused was not known to them, and it was subsequently as certained he was respectably connected. As it has been since supposed he had no intention to steal them, application was made to Sir e, Grey, rho ordered his discharge. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT IN LIVER POOL TO THE ROYAL COMMIS SIONERS.. 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, Esq , the popular Member for South Lan cashire, for the purpose of accepting that gentleman's hospitality on board the magnificent steam-ship Atlantic, a floating palace of the new world, most appropriately selected by I'4r. Brown to receive as guests the assem bled elite of the old world. Besides the noblemen and gentlemen more immedi• atety connected with the Exhibition, including the re presentatives of all nations, all the distinguished fo reiguers in England holding official situations were invited, together with the Lord Lieutenant and High Sheriff, the Mayors of the various towns of Lancashire, and select personal friends. The London and North-Western Railway Company placed a special tri-an, free of charge to the foreign visitors, at the disposal of the invited guests, the Royal Cominissioners and other English gentlemen paying excursion fares; but it was stated that even the fares of the fereign visitors Mr. Brown had himself agreed to defray. - Alt tan o'clock a numerous company assembled on the lauding stage at St. George's Fier, where a steamer, specially engaged for the occasion, received the guests for an excursion on the Mersey. After some little de lay the a..mpany were taken on board the America, Captain Nett • 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. Here they were received with the utmost cordiality by 'lr. Charles M'lver, the agent for the • British line of mails,- assisted' by Mr. ' owlet, the respected manager of that beanie. After Win rely inspecting the transhipment et 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, end 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 Mersey Yacht Club. The wind blew almost a gale, yet the weather overhead wds remarkably fine, and nothing Could exceed the delightful trip that this excur sion afforded. After going on bbard 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 Guarzoui, Barons Von Parte and Closen, Counts Kergolay, Cafarelli, L. Serveston and Son; Chevaliers Pazzi, Lencisa, and . Perizzi; Sir James Anderson, Mr. J. Locke, M.P., the Mayors of Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, Bolton, and Salford; the Town Clerk of Liierpool; Professors Hulsse, Co rtdi, Herrmann, Tanner, and Zebi; Drs.

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 pelt credit. Of the wines it would be impossible to speak in too high terms of com mendation; the most choice vintagas of all kinds were cell eted and set before the guests in liberal profusion, and ample justice was done to Mr. Brown's princely hospitality. As soon as the cloth was removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and said that, as Englishmen, it always afforded them the highest pleasure to testify their 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 as Sovereign of these realms, than in her private position as a wife and a mother. 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 glees in the course of the banquet. Mr. BROWN next proposed the health of the illustrious Prince who had been the oriAinator of that Palace of In dustry, which had been the means of bringing to this country so many distinguished 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 Haremem, in proposing the - next toast, it was due to the governor of a most enterprising and in ce!ligent people, whom we find in every quarter of the gleho—under the burning sun of Ethiopia, or pursuing tee whale in the arctic regions —of whom the eloquent Burke had said there was no sea but had witnessed their roil, and no country but had beneficed by their presence. I was due to the governor of such a people that his name ehould 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 which he alluded. If that people could do so much in the gristle of tali it 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, chargé d'affdres for that country.—(Loud cheers ) Mr. DAVIS, in aeknowledgiug 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 fete like this with pleasure, and with gladness upon the restoration to service of this gallant ship, whose accident last winter had spoken de solation to many a home, and carried sorrow to thousands of hearts on the other side of the Atlantic.—(flear.) They had been told that the products of America were meagre in the Crystal Palace, but let those who said so come and look at Liverpool—let them look into the docks and warehouses, as the loyal Commissioners and others had done that day. Let them see what produce there was from America, and the ships floating on the Mersey tinder her flag, and they would behold what the the descendants of Englishmen had done in so short a time, and what vast obstacles they must have encoun tered and overcome since they separated from the mother 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 cheers.) Mr. BROWN next proposed, " The Health of the Royal Commissioners," who had, by the exercise of a good deal of personal exertion, and all their influence, endeavoured to assemble the company on this occasion. Song—" Be peace our guiding star." Earl GRANVILLE begged to thank them, on behalf of the Royal Gine nussiouvre, 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 boa-t—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 of this magnificent repast in a Transatlantic steamer.—(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, and 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 to the various matters connected especially with the town and trade of Liverpool, that had come whether beforer d o fa,rlrnae h d ienmf packets Hein h h a i s d t c br a ea p ed a ni c nu i g t u y ef r a (0, f s ma a t uh m tenu e u m ma l t e t te r ede o t f u ae Statesthesee li)th be this port, in friendly Lidlycvoemrppoeutlitutornuo, and h wtiththise and line, should his colleagues had reported that it should not bo re ins ed ( La L erc i e ) ir r sd d i,siofhnip Granville) nex t r e f d e i r d r e n d o t to cl a t i h m e any thanks for the committee from the decision, for herself, i t a h n e they that had might found ight people of Liver that it would have done any good for Ireland, they knew Li flu:l;f d . p r . , ;: o c:o E coming . d ) to t i t k h e o i s have great weight in altering the conclusion at which arrive d. people of Liverpool had an objection to G th u e It was not fur him, ho said, to com plainheing " blown up, but he would not say too much lest y ftpt d derß that the be should alarm their southern neighbour s as to the re moval of the magazines to their vicinity.—(Laughter and cheers.) Referting to the progress made by the port of Liverpool, the noble speaker said that it, the reign of George 111. the extent of docks was not more than some few hundred yards, while now they extended over four miles,' and will soon reach five; at Ahe firmer 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, but 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, tlifl 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 connexion 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 Comts,isioners, and resumed his seat amid loud and protracted applause. Mr. BROWN, 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 the present before their departure from this coun try. Ho proposed " The Foreign Commissioners," which was drank with all the honours. M. ZUHRAB, 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 hooey-end- in tia - own name, and on behalf of the rest of the foreign commissioners, he tendered his warmest thanks for the manner in which the had, received their names. He would say that those of isplanti o yfaavaytho had returned, had left England With ~'- i s tieigjoipression' of admiration for the illustrious Prin6i - -origi nated the Palace of the Industry of all Nsttiona--;for ;it was the work not of a day but of an age--and of admira tion also of the great nation which had SO ' aplendidly car ried out the original thought. 5 Mr. BRoWN next proposed " The Executive Com mittee," which was drunk with much applause, and ac knowledged by Mr. COLE, 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 zsalous supporter of the system of penny postage, the system introduced by the gentle man on his left(Mr. Rowland Hill)—(Vociferous cheer ine)—so from penny postage sprang increased commu nication, 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 sluggish in carrying on im provements, and as one good turn deserves another, and as the Exhibition was owing to the penny postage — (Hear, hear)—he was now enabled to announce that the favour would be returned.—(Loud 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 Prussia, besides Lord Ashburton, and, he might 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 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," Dr - ank with all the honours. The Mayor of Liverpool (JonN BENT, Esq.) thanked them not only for drinking his health op 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 Foreign 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 had visited them to-day had seen much to admire in this great and groiving 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.—(Loud cheers.) He regretted that the shortness of the time would not allow more opportunity for him to entertain and receive them as he could wish 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 by saying that if the Crystal Palace contained nothing but itself, that would have been sufficient to attract their distinguished foreign guests to this country. li e th ere f ore propcse d " The ealths of ti'e gentlemen who had designed and con structed it."—(Cheers.) Mr. LocKE, M.P., being called on by the chairman, on behalf of Messrs. Paxton 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 Eee floating in the dock such magnificent ships as this in which they were, all might judge of the progress made its such a builOang as the Crystal Palace. If he had words he would pro nounce an eulogium on those two gentlemen for their respective merits in that great work, the design of which is so chaste and the execution so perfect that it is a marvel among public works. He had always a pleasure in recording the merit of those engaged in the same profession as himself, and therefore felt pleasure in acknowledging the honour they had done to Messrs. 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. HERRMANN, who spoke in the German language, and made an 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 mankind." " Peaceful commerce, may it ever flourish, to carry religion and civilisation into the remotest corners of the world." M. WOLoWSKI (France) responded in an elequent speech in the French language, which was repeatedly et - leered. He said there was a double necessity imposed upon them of cultivatii,g the peaceful arts—the march of commerce and of population. The Exposition of In dustry must have a considerable effect in promoting the material, moral, and political progress of mankind by leading to a fraternity of the people, and the spread of education and peace. •' The Armies and Navies of the Great Nations of the Earth; may they ever meet 113 friends, and not as foes, to co-operate for some great public good." Colonel B. P. JOHNSON (America) said, as ono em ployed i❑ the defensive service of his country, he trusted that the pre,ent assemblage of nations would lead to the result propounded i❑ the sentiment they had adopted. Ho 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 t• the prosperity, the happiness, and the social comforts of the illialtill race." Chevalier LECCISCA (Sardinia) claimed for his coun tryrnan (Columbus) the honour of discovering two worlds where only one was known to exist previously. That was a part of the destiny of science, en d t h e friendly meeting of nations must be both a cause and a consequence of its progress. Mr. BROWN 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 in;;, and "three times three for Captain West in hi s own cabin," were given with great enthusiasm.) Captain WEST replied, in a breaf but pithy speech, in which he 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 th e i r 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 course of which he stated that he trusted the Crystal Palace might hereafter bo truly called the Peace Palace ' • and referring especially to Liverpool, he said that i n t h e reign of Charles IL it had but titteen little boats on the Mersey, none of them more that 150 tons; in the reign of Queen Anne the first dcel was built where the Custom house now stands, and for half a century its p rogress was but slow. At the beginning of the present century the town received 28,000/. a year in dock dues; now they received half a million ainuz.lly. At the commence ment of the century the ducks covered only about 200 acres of water spate ; now, as th e y h a d heard, they were many miles in extent, and h a d cost more than ten millions stieling. It it was as k e d h ow Liverpool had thus rapidlyprogressed, h e would inform them, for the benefit of tlieir stranger guests. wales supplied her with copp e r , r,iron, and feud, Northvvich with salt, Birmingham withhardwarF, Macclesfi e ld w i t h silk, Sheffield with cutlery, Leeds with cloths, Bradford with stuffs, and coals from everywhere. H e h ope d on l y that those nations whose representatives were around him, would teke from Eegleid those articles which she could supply cheaper than hey could. .otherwise procure them, and give us in returl 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 life, 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. MACDONALD, after which the company returned ashore to partake of the Mayor's hospitality. Upwards of 900 guests had assembled at the Town hall, where the evening was terminated both happily and brilliantly. BOULOGNE AND AMIENS RAILWAY. A notice was posted in the Stock-Exchange on Thurs day from Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, London agents to the Boulogne and Amiens Railway, that an agreement was signed on Wednesday 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 Boulogne line, with all its advantages, 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 off in the stipu lated time. The interest will only commence from the Ist instant, but the Boulogne holders will receive for thei-Mit841411 1 .- - (44*44 - wiuktityo44o4l4 l 4' . a 'b lad &tie the'lrlioleirs' sive pro tine o "c. of the Northern Company as security, for thirty-eig t yedrii. By that tinie a large po r tion o f 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 semi 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 at 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 less 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 anon to the sinking fund, as to be able very considerably to increase the divisible profits. It may be observed that the present agreement differs moat 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., and it gives considerably more interest, be bides 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 could 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. BILLINGSGATE FISH MARKET. The new front building on Billingsgate-quay is now freurly 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 &rive, 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 improvements going on at Billiugsgate•market, in the shape of beauti fying it, &c., it is also cheering to observe that there is now a spirit of enterprise afloat fur the purpose of pro ducing a first-rate quality of fish for the market by resuscitating the decaying system o f d eep sea fishing. Latterly two-decked welled 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 tnore like yachts, when under canvas, than vessels built for fishing purposes. There is always a feeling of pleasure when a person has to record advanced improvements in any department whatever; that feeling, however, is different when obliged to notice any retrograde movement Bits 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 three and four o'clock in the afternoon, and see the place not much unlike a horse stable, covered over with straw 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. CANBRLDGE MILITARY ASYLUM. A public dinner for the support of a now foundation to commemorate the charitable career of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was held on Friday night at the London Tavern, with General the Marquis of Londonderry in the chair, supported by the Marquis of Granby, M P., the Earl of Enniskillen and Viscount Coin bermere, General Viscount Lorten, and the Viscounts Seaham and Chelsea, and Lord Rokeby, of the Scots Fusilier Guards. Of th e di nner we nee d on l y say that . 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 sembled guests. The memory of his late Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge was then toasted in solemn silence, but hearty eheers 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 Combermero, 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 wish of his heart, he, as a soldier, would say, that he was sorry the provision had not been made for the sons of soldiers rather than for their widows. The discipline of the army was against soldiers' marriages, fled as for the soldiers' boys, they had lately been deprived of many of the asylums which formerly had provided for their sustenance end educa tion. This, however, was a point on whi c h h e wou ld not insist. The plan, as it was, was humane, noble, and Generous, and one which , had his lamented friend the would no d ou b t h ave o b ta i ne d His Lord s hi p conc l u d e d w ith his Duke ap p o r f o C v a a l m a b n r d i Cambridge p l i o v r e t d . , an earnest a ppeAl in support of the nascent charity, for which he said the sum of 2,000/. had already been col lected, and towards the funds of whi.,th his Majesty the King of Hanover bad givan the generous donation of 3001. Donations and subscriptions to the amount of 500/. were snowed in the mire 91 the °vain. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. On Saturday last the members of the Navy Club gave a splendid banquet to the Right Hon.

The previous evening (Friday) the Gallant and much-esteemed Admi ral gave a grand dinner party at his residence in the dockyard to a large party of official and other persons. 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 where 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.

Commander Hail, of the Coast Guard Service, has just received from the underwriters of the Seringapatam, which grounded near Portland a few weeks since. an elrgant silver tea-service as an ackndwleognient cf the valuable services rendered by him on the occasion. SCOTTISH FETE, HOLLAND PARK. The grand extra day, and third of the fife took places on Saturday, and w‘ia - numerously and fashionably at tended. If the heavy rain and Scotch mist of Thursday damped the ardour of the Highlanders, and it Friday, with its cloudy shy and threatening aspect, was not exactly the weather to be desired for a fete champetre, the glorious sunshine of Saturday amply compensated the lovers of out-of-door sports tor th e sa d di scomfort of the two preceding days. The games were nearly the same, but, owing to the fineness of the weather, they; passed off with much greater eclat. The foot-races were capital, and the dancing to the inspiriting strains of Mackay's pipes was of the genuine Highland sort, ':he hearty, exciting shout of the kilted Gauls, as with life and metal in tneir heels they danced the reel of Tulloch, being re-echoed by the assembled company,. who seemed qui te as delighted as the principal actors in the scene. One young man especially distinguished himself for the ad mirable manner in which he danced the Highland fling, and the easy grace and unerring step he displayed in the sword dance. The morris dancing, under the su perintendence of the incompar a bl e Fl exmore , assisted by hie clever pupil, Mr. Richard Gardner, was excel lent, and gave general eatisfactien. The usual Highland games, with fencing. single-stick, wrestling, sack and wheelbarrow rae:nr, followed each other in rapid suc cession, and kept the audience continually on the alert. The sack races were most laughable. To see the unfor tunate 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 up again, were quite sufficient to call a smile upon the countenance of the greatest malcontent. And what added to the mirth tendnd fun . very consid era bl y avas the unc e remonious mariner le which Fiexcnore would favour soma of the prosrrate 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 said than done, and it generally happened that after a few excessively ridiculous efferts to obey the stern mand a t e , they h a d no alternative than to lie quietly on their backs, compl ete l y d i scomf i te d , t ill suc h t i me as some considerate individual would be good enough to reinstate theta on their legs. The wheelbarrow races and jingling were e q uil yeketighablee-e Many other games, in which , a , Scotch, English, and French took part, passed the time oft most agreeably. If the weather on Th ursday and Friday had been more propitious, this! gathering would have far eve . trust it will be so), it is to be ; and if the fete is to be outshone that of former years held annually (and enjoyment to be de hoped that next year it will be under more favourable auspices. Independently of the engaged in rived by the expatriated Highlander from witnessing the sports ot his native t country, country, such gath er i ngs, where the representatives of many nations are emulating each other in harmless and invigorating games and pastimes, with pleasure to themselves and delighti ng all around them, tend to knit them together in the bonds of friendship, and to hasten the removal of prejud ices which time alone can effectually eradicate. If the Peace Society, with Mr. Cobden at its head, could only make arrangements for having a series of monster files like that in Holland-park all over the world,such means, in course of time, might have as great aninflu 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, if 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 thefae. ~-'4 Y 7'Y -.‘-42--c ~ ~ ~~' [PRICE SD. FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. CHESTER•LE-STREET, SATURDAY NIGHT.—A. feat ful accident happened this afternoon on the Pontcp and Shields Railway at Eden-hill, about six miles from this place. R , ceutly a quantity of iron stone has been sent west, and as the incline at 'l'w 7..1e-bank was wade with the object of running coals east and hauling empty wag gons west, a locomotive engine was engaged to assist in hauling up the iron-stone. Last Saturday a new engiee, No. 119, was sent from the works at South Shields for that purpose. About half-past one this afternoon, the work being nearly over for the week, this engine was running stogie and unattached from the bank-top west. There were four 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 i❑ 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 Swinburne, partly jumped and were partly thrown from the engine to a considerable distance. With the exception of injuries to their faces by being 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 o❑ its side, burying the other four men under it. There were a few men abouZ, 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, au engineman; and William Richardson; a bank-rider — were quit© dead when taken out, 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 Moffett 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 from the spot where the accident took place. A number of men have been sent up from South Shields this evening, with shears, Ike., 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 killed 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. TIM LONDON WEATHER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Yesterday having presented one of the most sensitive specimens of the variableness 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 com 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 unge lw " state of the air since the 2d inst., produced from nega tiver, clouds and currents of wind, which have sibs: wve,e! the positive electricity from the animate circuietrdeny, as as from the earth.

KNARESBOROUGH, SATURDAY.—The nomination of candidates seeking to represent this borough in the place of the Hon. W. S. Lascelles, deceased, took place, upon hustings erected in the Market-place, to-day. 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 had 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 fore at once retire from the contest, thanking those gentlemen of the Liberal party who have given me their support." Atter the issua of this address it was naturally sup posed the Mr. Collins would be returned without op position. However, in the evening it was rumoured that Andrew Lawson, Etq., would be put in nomination on the hustings next any, and consequently, at an early hour this morning, Mr. CAlins is..mt,d a handbill stating that if such a course here pursued it would be without Mr. Lawson's authority, as that gentleman had pledged hinielf to him (sir. Collins) a few days before, that he certainly should not interfere so long 111 he remained in ti►e field. There is no •icubt, that this was the fact. Nevertheless, the Radicals, smarting Limier the diap peintment of being obliged to withd;aw their Free•trace candidate, were determined to put Mr. Collins to the in convenience and cost of a poll. Alter the usual preliminaries upon the hustings, Mr. BOND, of Knarcsir4rough, nominated Mr. Collins as a lit and proper person to represent the borough of Knaresborough in Yarliament.—(Cheers.) Mr. CHARLES SCOTT, of Knikresborough, grocer, and hitherto a professed Whig in politics, seconded the nomination. Mr. KIRK, the landlord of the Elephant and Castle Hotel, the head-quarters of the Free-trade candidate, then proposed Andrew Lawson, Esq., of Aidborough Han. Mr. HARRISON seconded the nomination. Mr. COLLINS now carve forward and addressed the electors. He 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 lisses.) 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 cAnclidate, because he had pledged himself to him distinctly thar, so long as he 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. Lawson in nomination. Mr. COLLINS then moved a vote of thanks to the re turning officer, which was teconded by Mr. KIRK and clrrieu. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. On Saturday last the Queun, 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. Mike. The Earl of Shaftesbury, Mr. Roberts, and Mr. Chadwick were also present, and conducted her Majesty through the rooms. We have already described the peculiar 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 similar undertaking. The Queen appeared much grati fied, and expressed her approbation of the very comfortable arrangements therein made for the poorer classes. __ After half an hour's stay her Majesty walked o acr_oLo to one of the small exit doors on the foreign side o f building, up the nave to the staircase in the_ .(3._7 0 7: 1 department. At the bottom Mr. Dilke called n" Highness Prince Albert's attention to a smallb marble bust of himself, carved at Rome in 18505,. amused. y Barbato Cipriani, with which he appeared sorapw. bfi 6 eld e M ich r. - al dsigns s silks, wh After a short inspection of the Spi t tal Dilke showed to her Majesty the beai,i)tiili the letter sent we cannot describe better than by with them: — Lino the honour of submit goal Highness Prince ltior.hjeorhaMailjesttyavaannd: b ifi e lds silks made in the early tin ‘ g ‘ of silk made for the Queen Albert specimens of ;..,; u t faactured by James Leman, of 12 and designed by J.

In passing through the part of the gallery devoted to the exhibition of Nottingham lace, her Majesty was re ceived by the exhibitors, headed by the Mayor, whose services in the cause of the Exhibition have been very numerous. In thei section of precious metals her Majesty did not remain long, all the articles having been inspected by , her on two previous occasions, still she graciously az kinowledged the merit of 01 , 3 articles presented to her passing notice by the exhibitors. The bronzes and eleetrc-t3 ping in gold and silver of Messrs. Elkington and Co. retained the Royal party for some time. In its small, unprounding casket, they in spected Mr. Hope's blue diamond, considered unique from its sapphire colour and large size. Mr. Hops was himself present as the exhiettor. end took the beautiful brillimt from its ease that her Majesty might handle it. Toe black diamond b e longing to Mr. Joseph Mayer, of Liverpool, was next shown; of this diamond we say say nothing but that it was found in the Bahia mines, an d • that it has successfully resisted polishing. Iler Majesty left the building a t eleven o'clock by th e entrance in the south transept, cresting no inconsiderable commotion among the numerous Bath-chairs collected round the gate, The receipts duri n g the day erso to nsthe 589 1. 15 s , and the police ret urns g ave 11,181 p num ber who visited the building. ___->
