THE NA TIONAL GALLBRY. — Th2re has be2n much sa i d and writt en on the subject of the National Gallery, and the injury the pictures have sustained, and are sustaining, from dust and a foetid atmosphere. The remedy for this is so simple and inexpensive th a t it i s sur prising it b as nwer occurred to parties to adopt it. If any person requires a ?racical proof of the necessity of well ven tilating the upper ?art of a heated room, let th em go into a large kit c h en , w h ere they are cooking and using charcoal. Let them then mount a ladder and try the atmosphere near the ceiling, and they will find they can scarcely breathe, and a candle will with difficulty burn; the foetid air having no means of escape, and which is worse, all this bad and foul am must descend and make its escape by a door or window. This is the evil at the National Gallery and the great cause of the mischief the pictures have sustained and will sustain till the simple remedy is appli e d o f having ventilation flues pest the upper part of the rooms.—Builder.

Ile is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religien, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing 'lan guage hi which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that arc the prima mobil's of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility.

Against the decision arrived at last evening, in the House of Commons, a decision favourable, by a majority of twenty. five, to the proposal of Lord ASHLEY for the entire cessation of Post-office labour on Sunday, we protest with the utmost indignation. Among the ninety-three representatives who yester day voted on the side of the Noble Lord the Member for Bath, we observed with astonishment the names of ne less than thirty. six so-called Liberals, a circumstance which, we doubt not, will be equally a matter of surprise to their constituents. Generally speaking, in the majority of instances, and especially at the outset of any move ment of this kind, any movement for what is absurdly termed:the enforcement of Sabbatical observances, we are disposed, as we intimated in our last impression, to view the conduct of the advocates of Sunday stag nation, as conduct actuated by motives scrupulously conscientious. When, however, the practices and the precepts of these very loud-speaking Christians glare upon us at total variance with each other, we set the whole scheme down bluntly as so much humbug and hypocrisy. For example, we hear one man hold forth on the sinfulness of Sun day labour in the Post-office department, and yet, on Sundays, if be sprain his anele, call a hackney coach to carry him home to a hot dinner prepared for him by his servants during church service! We see a highly orthodox morning newspaper howling over the ungodliness of Sunday trains and Sunday deliveries, and yet, if we pass by its offices late on the Sunday evening, and glance up at the attics dedicated to the toils of its compositors, we may see at a glance by the gaslights and the flitting shadows on the windows, that active preparation are making for its edition of the Monday morning. Hearing these things, and seeing these things, we maintain that we are justified in asserting our disgust at such repulsive humbug and transparent hypocrisy. The pretence is such that the gorge rises with abhorrence. Nor could this fail to be the case with a people like the English, a people peculiarly averse to shams and makebelievea. Of all things an assumption of morality , is the most provocative of contempt, and of a con tempt mingled with loathing. • Against these salient points of character the sarcasm of the dramatists and novelists of our literature has, been at all times di rected. It is this disgust for pretended excellence which fills the imagination when we read the honeyed phrases of Holy Writ dropping from the lips of the reverend adulterer in the comedy of Mr. BICKER STAFF. It is this feeling of detestation which is inspired by the account given by a living satirist of the canting suavity of Mr. BROCKLEHURST. Of all phases of disposition that which tends to an affectation of sobriety is the most repulsive and con temptible. We believe there are some sincere and conscientious advocates of the abolition of all Sunday labour in the Post-office and other departments. We do not merely believe, but we actually see, that there is a vast amount of humbug, of sham, pretence, and hypocrisy in the movement. Otherwise we should recognise at least some show of consistency in the conduct of its agitators--we should see something less of mere sermonizing, and something more of good example. Among the ninety-three Members of the House of Commons who, last evening, voted in favour of Lord ASHLEY'S proposition, we have already ob served that we distinguish with regret a large pro portion of so-called Liberal representatives. We wonder very much what these gentlemen would be at, and whether they are disposed to take in hand the spiritual deficiences as well as the political wants of their generations. There is Mr. Fzancus O'Cossox, for instance, a wonderfully pious and conscientious convert to the cause, walking out into the same lobby with Mr. PEMBERTON PLUMPTRE! What think the liberal electors of Nottingham of that? Then there is Mr. CHARLES PEARSON told off in the cause of Sunday sobriety by Sir THOMAS ACLAND ! What says Lambeth upon that particular? Again, we would commend the conduct of Mr. BROTHERTON on this occasion to his constituents at Salford; that of Mr. MUNTZ to his at Birmingham ; that of Mr. WILLIAMS to his at Macclesfield; that of Mr. PERFECT to his at Lewes ; that of Mr. HORSMAN to his at Cockermouth. Perhaps it would be as well, too, for the possessors of the franchise at Melton to bear last night's division in mind in reference to the vote of Mr. CHILDERS, for those cf Orkney to note the course of Mr. ANDERSON, those of Edinburgh that of COWAN, those of Elgin that of Mr. SKENE DUFF, and those of Glasgow that of Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR. It is melancholy to reflect upon the moral hal lucination which could alone have induced so many Knights representatives of counties to misrepresent, in this miserable fashion, the common sense of their important constituencies— Mr. MOSTYN, speaking for Flintshire ; Mr. JAMES DUFF for Banffshire ; Mr. EVANS for Derbyshire; ; and Lord R OBERT G aos- Mr. Fawns for Fife s hi re VENOR for Middlesex. All of them, be it still re membered, so-called Liberals--Mr. FOLEY voting thus liberally for East 'Worcestershire, Mr. HEADLAM for Newcastle, Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND for Pres ton, and Mr. HASTIE for Paisley. Beyond the Members already particularised, we would espe• ci ally beseech the attention to their representatives, upon this occasion, of the constituencies of Bed ford, and Leitrim, and Stroud, and Kilkenny, and Wigton, and Waterford, of Carmarthen, and Berk shire, and Kent, and East Cornwall. A careful scrutiny of their proceedings in Parliament after such a token of eccentricity as the one witnessed las evening is surely advisable, or the consequences may exceed calculation. Fortunately, the whole of the triumph of the Sunday-stagnation people, achieved for them last . _ evening by their congenial spokesman, Lord Astmay in the Commons House of Parliament, consists 01 nothing more than the resolution, that "an humble address be presented to her MAJESTY, praying that her t willrMAJEosTrputa at be gracious ly op plea sed ," and so forth, henceforth all Sunday labours whatsoever in the Post-office depart ment. After th e t we l ve years ' exper i ence which the nation has had of the enlightenment evinced by our Gracious SOVEREIGN upon all questions of state craft and social reformation, little doubt can be entertained as to the happy result of such a proceeding. What we tremble at, however, is this, that the little success obtained yesterday by those highly-starched sobriety-mongers may! encou rage others besides y Lord o fritter away the inestimabl e time of P arl i ame n t by pro posing schemes equally practicable and preposterous: demanding, for example, that the Legislature should resolve that all vessels out at sea, no matter what the state of the weather, should lay to on Sundays, with similar suggestions as derogatory to the dignity of true religion and as incompatible iviih the rea l genius of Christianity. iThe atrocious assassination of the late Mr. It onnam LispsEy MANLEVEREE affords a painf u l ill ustration of the demoralisation consequent upon the present state of the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland, and exhibits the evil results of that unjust and im politic system in the strongest point of view. The unfortunate gentleman was murdered—cruelly, bar barously murdered—on the QUEEN'S highway, and in the middle of open day. This sanguinary outrage occurred in a county generally considered one of the most peaceful and prosperous in Ireland, aid in the vicinity of two populous villages. No less than Sixteen cottages, with their inhabitants, wete close at hand, .where the cries of the victim might eissily have been heard. No assistance was, however,ftrendered, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1850. tenantry on the estate which constituted a champ de battaille, on which the internecine conflict was fiercely waged. In the present case the occupiers had three masters —first, the Rev. Mr. HAMILTON, to whom the mur dered gentleman, Mr. MANLEVERER, was agent; next a Mr. JONES, whose interest had passed into the hands of proverbially the wont possible landlord— the Receiver of the Court of Chancery ; and, thirdly, a Mr. TIPPING, whose estate in the premises was about to be submitted to public competition through the agency of the Commissioners tor the Sale of ' Encumbered Estates. Each of these parties collected their rents separately, and it was by no means unusual to see three sets of processes instituted and a treble set of costs—a penalty which the law formerly affixed to certain species of litigation which it was intended to check. But even this was not the most formidable part of the transaction, although the original debt has frequently quadrupled in these mul tiplied proceedings. The bailiffs of the different owners zealously endeavoured to " levy the decrees'' placed in their hands for execution, so as to have the first seizure--an exciting and friendly contest, in which the collectors of poor-rates and county cess energetically participated. It is impossible, therefore, to conceive a situation more desperate than that of the miserable peasantry, who saw their all periodi cally swept off under the colour and sanction of the law of the land. But even these circumstances, heart-rending as they were, did not exhibit the full extent of the grievance on these ill-fated people. They had still roofs to shelter them, and patches of land on which to grow potatoes. But a " middle-man," that name pregnant with evil to Ireland, had died, and several hundred ejectments had been sued out to drive the miserable wretches from house and home. The "cup of misery was thus filled to overflowing." This was the " last straw that broke the back of the camel." The murder of Mr. MANLEVERER was then decided on, not so much from a feeling of vengeance against himself personally, as a means of arresting the proceedings for a time. No object can possibly justify the destruction of human life, or the shedding of the blood of a fellow -creature. We do not, there fore, venture to defend the assassins, or extenuate their fearful crime ; but is it not palpable that the outrage was directly occasioned by the tenure by which the various holdings were enjoyed, and that it was chiefly, if not altogether, ascribable to the ex isting state of the law—under what one of the most learned and amiable Judges on the Irish bench well designated " a landlord's code ?" THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. 'SVe have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Petrie repeats the rumour which we men tioned yesterday of the arrival in Paris of a mes senger from St. Petersburgb, with letters of recall from the Emperor of RUSSIA to Baron BRUNOW, the Russian Minister in London, to be forwarded or not, as may seem right to the Russian Minister in Paris. It is said that the Russian Minister in Paris has de termined that it is not expedient to forward the letters of recall. The Opinion Publigue announces that the Marquis of NORMANDY will be present at the next Levee of the PRESIDENT of the Republic ; and from this cir cumstance it concludes that the difference with Eng land is, if not settled, at least on the paint of settle ment. The third article of of 4 ftobreElectolroal L to aw l7 w B a . s voted on of Ir the ldnesdaYby a m opposition Members abstained from voting, on the ground that it was incompetent to the Assembly to entertain the law, as it was a violation of the con stitution. • Immediately after the adjournment of the debate, and in consequence of an angry personal discussion, two of the representatives, M. FRANCISQUE BOUVET and M. ROGER DU NORD, fought a duel with pistols. After the principals had exchanged shots without effect, the seconds declared that their honour was aa. tisfied. MM. PASCAL and DurftAT attended M. BOUVET, and MM. BERAU and MATHIEU DR LA REDORTE acted as friends to M. ROGER. M. Flux cactus BOUVET is one of the most distinguished and zealous members of the Peace Society, who deny that hostilities can be justified under any pretext. The conduct of M. BERRTER and the other Legi timatist leaders (from whom MM. DR LAROCHEJAC QUELIN and VEZIN have' separated themselves), in joining M. Timms and the Orleanist Burgraves, has disgusted their supporters. The Gazette de France and the Opinion Publique declare that seven eighths of the Legitimatists disapprove of the conduct of, the intriguer!, meaning thereby MM. BBRRTER, DE ST. PRIEST, BECHARD, DE LARCY, &C. The Presse thus comments on the treason to the cause of universal suffrage of which M. BERRYER has been guilty " The Legitimatist party stood engaged by its acts, by its precedents.. by its manifestoes, by its dignity, and by its interest. For eighteen years it had been protest. ing against what is called the Parliamentary usurp a tion of the 7th o f A ugust. The tribune and the press have alike resounded with its appeals to the nation. It had formed congresses, signed petitions, and organised banquets for electoral reform. It had recognised and proclaimed_ the universality and inviolability 1 and at one o'clock, A.M. on Thursday, the 23d inst., after a gallant but ineffectual struggle, this gentle man, a magistrate of an adjoining county, and an agent over extensive estates, was brutally butchered, "his head being beaten to pieces with heavy stones, and his blood and brains scattered about the public road." The circumstances of the entire transaction proved that the assassins did not anticipate any interference on the part of the peasan try, that they calculated upon being permitted to carry their horrible determination into easy execution, and upon making their escape without hindrance or obstruction, or without being exposed to the observation of witnesses who would depose to their guilt in the face of the country. In other words, they believed that the inhabitants of the sur rounding district were prepared to become accessories after the fact to the highest crime known to the law, and to assist in defeating the ends of justice by sheltering and concealing the criminals from the pursuit that would inevitably be instituted by the constabulary ; and they were not greatly mistaken. There was no pursuit of the murderers except by the police, and there was an evident indif ference and want of sympathy on the part of the tenantry of the estate over which Mr. MANLETSRER was one of the agents, which showed that such an event had been anticipated, and generally known throughout the locality. The unfortunate gentleman is described as hav ing been a man of " enlightened and cultivated mind, of a retiring and amiable disposition, and, with one sad exception, generous and liberal to those with whom he had intercourse." That exception, however, proved fatal to him. Through the unfortunate position of the property over which he was, as we have stated, one of the agents, he was compelled, if desirous of obtaining any portion of the rents for his principal, to act with the greatest harshness towards the unfortunate oc cupants, who were harassed by the concurrent de mands of their three landlord!, who had a race to try which could first seize upon the goods of their debtors, and who for the attainment of that object had recourse to legal proceedings whenever an op portunity arose. There is, perhaps, no part of the Irish system of landlord and tenant more objectionable than that which creates a number of landlords having equal rights, and each entitled to sue the occupants for certain proportions of the rent. It is, if possible, more injudicious than the " Rundale " tenure. By the latter system, every individual tenant is made responsible in person and property fur the entire rent, payable out of, and the covenants entered into, with respect to the lands. The industrious and thrifty are thus made liable for the default of the idle and improvident. The man who would be willing to improve his position is deterred by the fear of forfeiting the fruits of his own in dustry, in consequence of the negligence and apathy of his partner. The MEZENTIAN Union thus leads to the greatest mischief, and holds out a direct premium to sloth and carelessness in the cultivation of the soil. But still the unfortunate people are subject to but a single despot, and the owners will generally show indulgence to those who are prepared with their own proportion of the rent. He at least affords them the boon claimed by OV:l7 from the Cyclop, and they are generally the "last to be devoured." But it is different where they are placed under a " triumvirate," when each of the throe tyrants are struggling to secure the full satis faction of his own demands, utterly careless as to the interests of his "coparceners," or of the unfortunate of political rights. It had placed the fate of its proper principle upon the arbitrage of the sovereignty of the people in declaring that the Due do Bordeaux could never acquire the Crown but by the fr,e investiture of France. In fine, it had hailed the; revolution of February as the victory of national legitimacy. On the 24th February, 1848, at the moment when the dynastic question was hanging uncertain between the barricades and the invaded Assembly—at the moment when M. Le dru Rollin was destroying the pity that was rising in all hearts at the sight of a mother betwee❑ her two chil dren—a voice was heard to rise from the right benches, crying out to the revolutionary tribune—' Conclude ! conclude ! a Provisional Government, and a Convoca tion of the people.' The voice WAS that of M. Berryer." The National has the following under the head of " Double Conspiracy :" " In order to carry into execution their plans of coun ter-revolution, the saviours of society are anxious to bring about the state of siege, or, in other words, the suppression of the liberty of the press and all the other liberties which remain to us. Without erneutt!s this is a difficult task for them to accomplish, and enitsuies fail them. Every morning for the last few days the President of the Republic receives a report, in which a personage experienced in police trickeries points out the march and progress of a vast civil and military conspiracy, which embraces Paris and the de• partments, and threatens to swallow up in the same gulf the presidency, religion, family ties, and property. The saviours, the monks in expectation do not doubt but that the President will allow himself to be taken in this machination, and they hope to see at an early day one of his Ministers come forward and declare that society is in peril, and that the declaration of the state of siege is the only means of safety for it. They well know what the result of such a declaration would be. The country would pass into the hands of a dictatorship, which certainly would not be exercised by M. Louis Bo naparte. The name of the dictators, of the triumvirs, is a mystery, for no one, except, doubtless, for the President. The details of this conspiracy are precise, and every particular is carefully set forth in the report. The principal character in the drama is given to General Cavaignac—a great conspirator, as is well known! We know what M. Louis Bonaparte thinks of these revelations with which he is thus every day besieged, but if we might give him a word of advice, we would tell him that the danger is not where it is pointed out to him to exist. He has only to open his eyes to discover where it is. There is a conspiracy which is carried on in open day; it proclaims loudly its object, which is the restoration of the Bourbons; its means are the ruin of the Republic, the destruction of all liberties and civil war. This ♦ast conspiracy is a plagiarism of the intrigue which pre pared the 18th Brumaire, but this time, instead of the exaltation of a Bonaparte, tho question is the overthrow of him who is in power." The reactionary journals are now calling out for a stringent law of the press ; among other suggestions, they propose that the authorities should have the power of declaring any writer unworthy to write, in which case any editor, publisher,•printer, proprietor, or manager, accepting or publishing any article, book, pamphlet, romance or drama, of or fur the writer so stigmatised, shall be liable to severe punishment. An association of operative weavers, organized ac cording to the plan of M. Louts BLANC (we believe organized by himself), and to which funds were voted by the Constituent Assembly, have, after giving the plan a trial for two years, dissolved by mutual consent, being eonvinced that the plan is utterly impracti cable.

The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 1,000 Egyp tian, 1,000 American, and 500 Surat on speculation. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 250 Pernam and Ma ranham, at 7D to 74 d ; 1,500 Egyptian, at ;id to 7; 4 'd; and 1,500 Surat, at sid to 6d per lb.—Railway Shares were firm, and at rather higher quotations. The Corn -market is dull to-day. In the Colonial Produce markets this week a steady business has been transacted, and prices are better sup ported. Sugar has been freely purchased, and holders of coffee are looking for higher rates. Rice has been rather inactive. Spices have been quiet, Indigo has been taken moderately, and Cotton is id. per lb. dearer. Accounts of Tuesday from Hamburgh give the rate of exchange on London at 13 81. Coffee was i❑ demand, and in Grain, considering the unfavourable advices from England, there was a very fair business doing. The weather was highly auspicious. St. Petersburgh letters of late date notice the arrival of 150 ships, but business was not active. At Amsterdam on the 29th inst. there was a tolerably animated business. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents were 56 1 16. The health of the Prince Maurice was in a dangerous condition. The Savings Bank Bill is exciting great interest in the provinces, and the trustees of the Birmingham Bank, with 347.000 i. of deposits, have sent a petition to Par liament from which the following are extracts of in terest:— " While your petitioners approve of that Bill, in so far as it is intended to interpose Government security for the savings of the industrious classes, they arc of opi nion that, in order to remove the present di'trust, and to afford encouragement to those classes still to resort to savings banks, it is necessary that the security to be given should be expressly declared, and not left to inference only; and that, therefore, the Bill should provide that the Government shall hold itself responsible for all moneys paid in by depositors at the office of the savings bank during the regular and appointed hours of business. "Your petitioners aro of opinion that a clause should be introduced into the said Bill to prohibit the opening of the savings bank, or the transaction of any business connected therewith, except in the presence of one or more of the trustees or managers, and under his or their direction or control. "In considering the 11th, 16tb, and 17th clauses of the proposed Bill, limiting the gross amount of de posits to 100/., and the interest payable to savings banks to 31., while the interest to b 3 paid to depositors is not to exceed the sum of 2/. 155., your petitioners are disposed to give a qualified assent only to these provisions. Your petitioners find in their own bank, that whilst the number of depositors, whose accounts are 100/. and upwards, is only 3 1.3 d per cent., yet the proportionate amount of the funds held by such depositors is no less than 264 per cent. of the whole deposits of the bank. It is manifest, therefore, that if these larger accounts are with drawn, the diminution in the income of the bank, and its means of defraying the necessary expenses of the establishment, will be very serious. In order, therefore, to provide against the evils of this re duction,your petitioners are of opinion that the amount of interest to be hereafter allowed to savings banks, under the 16th section of the Bill, should be 3/. 29. 6d., whilst the interest to be paid to depositors should at the same time be fixed in the 17th, section at 2/. 15s. per cent, per annum; as your petition ers are decidedly of opinion that any further reduction of interest to that class of persons would tend to increase their liability to the temptation of withdrawing their money from savings banks, and placing it in more at tractive, but frequently hazardous investments. By these means a sum of 7s. 6d. per cent. would be secured to the trustees as a fund for defraying the annual expenses of the bank, instead of 55., as at present, but this increase will bo found abso lutely necessary to meet the increased expenses of the bank, as well as the diminished income consequent on the various alterations proposed by this Bill. Your petitioners are also strongly confirmed in these opinions, as they find that while the annual average loss to the Government in respect to savings banks has, for the six years ending November, 1849, amounted to 24,000/. only, the sum that would be produced by the reduction of the rate of interest to 31., as proposed by the Bill, would be 70,000/.; the reduction of the in terest now paid to savings banks to 31. 2s. 6d. only, as before suggested, would therefore be more than sufficient to meet the present loss. But without the adoption of some provision to the effect now proposed, your petitioners are of opinion that the limitation of deposits to 100/. would be equally impolitic and injurious and would deprive your petitionere,:among other savings banks, of the means of defraying the ordinary expense of carrying on the business of the institution."

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our market coastwise have not exceeded 1,040 quarters, a'- most wholly from Essex and Kent. By land carriage they have been trifling. The show of samples to•day was small; nevertheless, owing to the continued imports from abroad, the absence of the principal dealers, and the favourable accounts respecting the growing crops, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and to effect sales rather lower rates must have been accepted. From abroad, 9,330 quarters of Wheat have come to hand. Selected parcels were mostly held at full rates of currency. In the middlieg and inferior kinds so little was doing that prices were almost nominal. No English Barley was at market, and the supply of foreign was trifling. All kinds moved off slowly at barely late rates. The sale for Malt was very inactive, but we have no change to note in value. In Oats comparatively little business was transacted. Damp parcels were the turn lower. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, were very dull. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK• Wheat. Barley. Oats. Malt. Flour. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

Accounts from Berlin of the 29th state that Prussia will withdraw her forces from Schleswig, but will not accede to the stipulations of the Congress of London. Denmark, on the other hand, refuses to accept the propositions of Prussia. It is said that on the German question Austria has exhibited a disposition to yield to the requirements of Prussia. The Emperor of AUSTRIA, immediately on receiv ing intelligence of the attempt on the King of Pans sts, Bent Count WRUNA to Berlin with a letter of congratulation to his MAJESTY on his narrow escape from the danger with which he was threatened. A convention was concluded on the 21st between Prussia and Belgium, for the establishment of inter national communication by means of the electric telegraph. Negotiations for a similar object are also on foot with the French Government, in order that the communications may be continued, on the one hand, as far as Paris, and, on the other, to London (via Calais). ITALY. Accounts from Rome of the 21st inst. stale that the English Protestant Church has been broken open by the sbirri of the POPE and plundered of Bibles and books of devotion, and that the domicile of Mr. HAT, late Under-Secretary for Colonial Affairs, but who is at present residing at Rome, has also been violated, hii Bibles burned, and himself insulted. It should be distinctly understood that the cause which the reactionary journals of this country support is in Italy the cause of the Bible burners and the In quisition. Advices from Piedmont state that the Catholic clergy—whose intimate relations with Austria are well known—are endeavouring to excite the ignorant peasantry to break out into insurrection. FRAN zom, Archbishop of Turin, has been the first to sat the example of disobedience to the law. MARRIAGE or GENERAL CABRERA.—This dis tinguished military commander, who for so many years gal antly supported the cause of Don Carlos in Spain, was mar ried on Wednesday to Miss Marianne Catherine Richards, only child and heiress of the late Robert Vaughan Richards, Esq. The ceremony was first performed at the Roman Ca tholic chapel in Spanish-place, Manchester-square, by the Rev. Pierre Mailley ; and subsequently at St. George's, Hanover-square, by the Rev. Temple Frere, canon of West minster. The fair bride was attended to the altar by a bevy of young ladies, and given away by her uncle, Mr. William P. Richards. At the Catholic ceremony the Gallant General was supported by his Royal Highness the Infante Don Juan of Spain (broth er o f the 'Conde de Montemolin). Lcrd John Manners, M.P., officiated as the bridegroom' s " b e st friend" at St. George's Church. At the conclusion of the ceremony , the bridal party partook of an elegant dejeureer at the resi dence of the Misses Richards, in Eaton-square, after which the newly-wedded pair left town for Tonbridge Wells. The bride, it is said, has a fortune of 25,0004 a year. THE RUSSIAN FRIGATE AND ETIQUETTE OF SA LUTES.—The Russian steam-frigate Kamstchatka passed through Spithead on Wednesday evening, at six o'clock, and as she went through the anchorage she hoisted an English white ensign, and fired a salute of twenty-one guns. The Victory flag-ship seeing the white ensign hoisted (it ap peared that the Kamstchatka had not a red one on board), imagined that the salute was a compliment to the Admiral's flag, and she returned the salute with a similar number of guns;: and the garrison likewise fired twenty-one guns. The Commander of the Russian frigate, not comprehending why a double return of his salute should be made. returned, an. chored, and sent a Lieutenant to the Victory, to inquire whether another salute was expected from his ship, when the mistake was explained, the Kamschatka intending the salute for the garrison. The Russian ships are, very properly, punctilious on points'of national etiquette. The Kamstchatka remained at Spithead till yesterday morning, when she went down to Southampton. She is from Madeira (where she has been attending on the Pallas frigate, with the Duke of Leutchenburg on board, from which she parted company in the Channel on Wednesday) bound to Cronfitadt. The Pallas may be hourly expected at Spithead. The Kamst chatka is a remarkably fine, handsome-looking vessel, Ame rican -built, something similar to the Odin. GRAND BANQUET TO LORD GOUGH AT THE MANSION HousE.—The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress yesterday gave a grand banquet at the Mansion House to Lord Gough. The banquet was laid out in the Egyptian Hall, and the festivities were on the grandest scale of mag nificence. There were present the Duke of Cambridge and the elite of the Nobility, Sir Frederick Pollock, and several of the Judges, Sir Robert Peel, and several members of Par liament; the Bishop cf Oxford, Sir Frederick Thesiger, the Sheriffs, the Aldermen and members of the Council, and the City authorities. DIORAMA OF ITER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND. --His Grace the Duke of Wellington honoured a special ex hibition of this interesting diorama, on Wedne s d ay. His Grace was accompanied by the daughters of Admi ra l H atton, and expressed much gratification at the recogniti on of the scenes of his youth. The following distinguish e d persons also visited the diorama during the week :—Lord an d Lady and Mrs. Sir ch u W re . h T p u e g a l rs e, e Na l d r y s. RanodthAsalls Munro,ys,La and Hon.

The celebrated Indian traveller, Mr. Catlin, h as b e come the local superintend en t i n Texas of the Universal Emigration and Colonization Company, and is about p rocee di ng t o Northern Texas wi t h th e f i rst body of settlers —to be followed by others from time to time. This company, is possessed of vast tracts of good land in the seve ral states of America. It is expected that 500 settlers will proceed with Mr. Catlin, the pioneers of a system of emigra tion on the co-operating and other plans. THE lONIAN BANS.—The annual meeting of the lonian Bank proprietors was held this day, at which a satisfac tory report - was presented. The directors were able, after de ducting all bad debts and paving the usual dividend of 6 per cent., to appropriate a sum to the liquidation of preliminary ex penses, and to carry to the reserve fund upwards of 1,000/. fhe returns of the current year showed no falling off in the business of the hank in spite of the recent occurrences in Greece, and the directors had reason to believe that a great improvement would take place. The accounts for the year 1849 exhibited a net profit of 10,062/. Bs. Bd. The amount to the credit of profit and loss on the Ist of January, 1850, was 13,5421. 16s. 11d. After the reading of the report a friendly discussion took place, which ended in its being adopted unanimously, when a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the directors, and to Mr. Bettlewell, the secretary of the convoy. --' ------ if r 1 t cri . f at a decline in the quotations of Monday " I ' - b p 440 1 ,' 81bs—the highest figure for the best Sec° e ",,, 1 bil e'; 3s 4d per Sibs.
