Feuilletonists are always lively, but the most ani mated among the whole of that remarkable body of writers in France, is unquestionably M. Jules Janin --the author of this charming record of a foreigner's visit to the Great Exhibition. From first to last his abounding animal spirits hold him in good stead, and impart] a most exhilarating pleasantry to each of his very agreeable descriptions. Like the opinion pro nounced upon the breakfast at Amiens by a certain matter-of-fact gentleman connected with the moneyed interests, and recently mentioned in Dickens's House hold Words, our estimate of the work lying before us is somewhat to the effect that every page of it is "decidedly" French ; not, however, speaking alone ith a literal reference to the language. The entire narrative is the result of a scrutiny of our manners, and more particularly of our metropolis, viewed through the medium of French habits and predilec tions. Hence it comes to us most welcomely. We accept it as the genuine exprestion of the feelings with which London has been regarded by a most important section of the foreign visitors to the Crystal Palace. Aware that that extraordinary structure is just now on the eve of being closed against further inTection, the public cannot fail to observe with additional curiosity the estimate formed of it by a spectator so singularly intelligent as M. Jules Janin. The volume, therefore, we feel assured will at once command for itself a popularity to which a perusal of it satisfies us that it is eminently entitled. At the very outset of his excursion we recognise the verve and enthusiasm of temperament peculiar to the most celebrated of all the feuilletonists. Ho passes under review the visitors flocking from all parts of the world towards the now memorable scene of the world's exhibition. As each representative of his race passes before his imagination he criticises them with that voluble rhetoric which irresistibly carries you onward with the satirist. As an example of our meaning we may refer to his allusions to the Turk. " A quoi lui pout servir la vapeur ?" he asks. "Ila le soleil ! Le yin ? II a l'oplum ! Le journal ? Il ale rove ! La po6sie ? Il ale tabac !" Then be continues with a humorous picture of commiseration : " betas! le digne homme it est price, en co mo ment, de la fe e 6:ernelle de ea pen et de sa vie! L'etiquette et I'usago ont arrache de see mains sa cotnpagne fide!e, sa machine e'egante b l'odorante vapeur, sa conseil:e:e et son nrnie hospitaliere, sa pipe!... On ne fume pas ici : telle est ht loi de ce caravanserail de l'in dustrie humaine; et afin que cheque nation soit la Bien avertie, on a 4;rit en touter les langues: On ne fume pas icil—.lVo smoking allowed !—.Non e permitlo difumare ! et ainei jusqu'a la fin, et—le pauvre Turc!—il a ete force d'otes! Dieu le vent! l'Anglais le veutl Si !'Expo sition de l'industrie a ses martyrs, en voila un!" Referring soon afterwards to the circumstance of the inauguration taking place in May, Jules Janin, it appears to us, facetiously observes : " Oa aime ici le mois de mai comme nous salmons ces beautei de l'esprit et do la jeunesse quo nous n'avons jantais Tiles et qui nous sourient dana le lointain des Aglae, la plus jeune des paces; Lai4, Las th enie, Tyndarido, et ces trois giams printanieres quo le puete Horace, au printemps, voyait danser sous lea douces clar e i de la lune de mai, et que le pate Thackeray chantait dana to Times, ce maiin meme: ' Gratis cum Nymphis, gemiuisque sororibus, audet Ducere nude cloros' — Having himself witnessed the well-known interview on the day of inauguration between Cobden and Wellington, our author thus commemorates the cir cumstance—saying : " N'oublions pas aussi (j'ai vu la scale) l'illustre Cobden, l'apo.,re triomphant, du Libre ezlarsege, pr , esen'6 aujourd'hui 11 a no, par lo Marquis d'Aeglesey, a S. G. to Dec de Wellington! C'6.ait le premiere fois que cos deux hommes se recontraient, colui-ci, qui s'est battu pour la gloire de l'Angleterre, et eelui-la, pour sa fortune! Rencontre solennelle, et qui ne pouvait pas est 6:er un plus Taste, un plus digne, un plus grand tteatre que Ic palais de cristall" Humorous enough is the reference to the gloom of the London Sunday, where the writer exclaims, " Ou n'entende pas un bruit, ou ne voit pas une Awe dans tout la ville !" His visit to Claremont brought him into immediate contact with the exile family of Orleans. Here is his touching and beautiful descrip tion of the good and unfortunate Queen Amelia as she appeared to him again in the little Catholic chapel of the locality : " La reine priait, avec cote fervour qui appartient aux passions memo du cieL Elle est vetue a la fawn des venires FraLgaises, et dans toute la rigueur de ce cos tume austere , eit la laine noire prend la forme d'un lineeul. qu'elle est belle, de cette beautd qui vient de Fame! Et nous qui l'avons vue, hedge! dans toutes les splendeurs de la majesty royale, heureuse et fie -e de tour les bonheurs, de tousles orgueils, jamais nous l'avons vue, a ce point grand° et superbe! Elle est semblable a cos totes touchantes do reeole Italienne, a raurore de la Renaissance, et I'on voit du premier coup d'cel, que cette mere, cette femme et cote reine, tiprouvei et frap; 6 a taut do reprises, West relevire sous la main de Dieu qut I'a fropp6 4, et qu'elle n'a pas perdu resrerancc! Elle a voulu demeurer forte en ces ad versites surnaturelles, afin de jeter sur toutes les forces et sur toutes les graces qui rentourent. cette mnjestd unie au malheur, qui brille d'un eclat ite6.istible 1", One sentence having reference to another and very different place of worship must not be overlooked : it is that in which M. Jules Janin alludes thus admi rably to the exclusion of the bust of Lord Byron from Westminster Abbey. "Lord Byron," says be, "eat absent de co temple fur at,re appe'Cr Westminster... Il L'est pas une pEre qui ne conduise a la plus belle place, les restes du pciice absent; it brine a Westminster, commo brillaient par leur absence, aux grandes fun6railles romaines, les images de Brutus et de Cassius." He might have added also that it is somewhat ludicrous to observe the exclusion of the bust of Byron from a building in which are placed the re mains of Lord Castlereagh—a fact rather bewildering, it must be acknowledged, when we remember that suicides of old were wont to be buried in cross-roads with stakes driven through them, as an evidence .of the horror in which self-murder was held by our ancestors. The Thames Tunnel seems as much as anything in the metropolis to have excited the astonish • went of our traveller, and this less in regard to its architectural curiosty than in reference to its useless ness, a uselessness the more lamentable from the fact Jules n ul i e t s Janie its C o o f n i s t t s r h u a c v ti i o n n g . lik , e , w v i r s a e i b in e e e n n t c s o u st a ly . q t b e s a n u i cno uwpithwasragrcenasttica p e simplici ty, rdre n i u e e s , l l a l u'elle ces deux gran d s pu i ts, que se mettait creusf r de chaque cOrteelidee en; passage souterrain" Upon visiting the Tower of London he expatiates, with characteristic gusto, over the ass in connected with that ancient edifice, n. 'eribing on hi s tablets the name, now of " le grand Shakspeare," and now aga i n o f Thomas Morns,. l'auteur ratif d'un r e ve aussi beau que Montague." It is gying to fi n d that the general impression formed both of the E nglish capital and of the. English population, by an intelligent observer like 111. Jules Janin, was soot decidedl y agreeable character. For many reans, therefore we regard the present volume as among not the' least satisfactory results of the Great Industrial Exhibition. It will help very both materially Franc® to remove the few prejudi ces st ill ex i st i ng, trangement. n and Engl and) to their mutual es- M Al7narke d thattbe Eng . R iI:I2 , S . E.

Latterly it must have bee w n i r ne 6l) e more successful lish public have been gro this circumstance imperceptibly, more familiar almost writers of the United States ; an d true source, namely r ecentlyappeared must in justice be ascribed to it s the many rival series which have periodical re -i ssues in London of cheap and well selected re blications. Through the medium of these the community has been enabled t o purchase, charge altogether insignificant, the mi scellane at a writings of Washington Irving , and the ousnautical mances of Fennimore Cooper. They have obtained in the the same way also capital edi t io ns , at a very cheap rate, of the essays of Waldo E merso n and of the of Cullen Bryant, together w ith the sketch i e of a Parker Willis, and the metri cal be auties of Henry Longfellow. Among the minor favourites of brother Jonathan must now be classed the c h arming fictions of Nathaniel Hawthorn. His " Scarlet Letter" has already acquired for itself a certain degree o f ce _ lebrity, and the readers of the " Scarlet Letter" cannot fail to turn with some curiosity to the first work W hi c h brought its writer into any sort of notice, we mean the work here submitted to the criticism of the English multitude. Aware of this circumstance, we ere gra tified to observe the publication of "Mosses from an Old Manse," as an additional volume of t he Po p ula r Library, now well and honourably known as the series issued from the press of Mr. Rcutledge. Tof such THE G REAT E XHIBI TI O N.-- midst popular demonstrations of interest and curiosity it is now d believed impossibl e th a t th e C r y s t a l Palace can be doomed to destruction, and the impression gains strengt h that it will be preserved as an ornament to the metropolis, and a worthy memorial of the Great Exhibition. The concern felt about its fate certainly gathers strength within the last few days, and on all hands expressions of regret are heard that an edifice so unique and wonderful in its character should be ruthlessly pulled down. The first overt act of preparation for the removal of goods from the Crystal Palace took place yesterday, in the erection of a stage for loading waggons at the first exit door west of the transept entrance. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY. —A passenger, at the instance of the directors of this com pany, has been sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment in the Steyning House of Correction for defrauding the company by using a non -transferable ticket issued to another person. THE LATE RAILWAY COLLISION AT HORNSEY. The Rev.' W. Snell, of Fleet, Lincolnshire, who, it will be remembered, sustained a concussion of the spine, by the re cent collision at the Hornsey station, on the Great Northern Railway, still lies at the Railway Hotel, adjoining the station, in a most precarious condition, having been unable to leave his bed since' the unfortunate occurrence. The injury to the spine appears to be 'proceeding favourably, but up to the present time the Rev. Gentleman has not been able to move his lower limbs, which cue perfectly destitute of teeliUg. SUN. LONDON, HA YMA.R.KET THEATRE. The benefit of Mr. Benjamin Webster, " the lessee of the little theatre in the Haymarket," the only metropolitan theatre which has never been devoted to other than dramatic purposes, took place last even ing, and, as we had opined, troops of friends gathered around him to do him honour. The house was crammed to suffocation in every part long before the rising of the curtain, and the appearance of Mr. Webster on the stage was the signal for an outburst of enthusiastic applause that shook the building. He chose on this occasion his greatest character, Tartuffe, and never did he act the part more perfectly, more artistically. Not only is his Tartuffe his best cha racter, but he is the best Tartuffe on any stage, Eng lish or foreign. The only man who could compare with him in this character was poor Pellet; and even he did not excel Mr. Webster. Since Perlet's death Webster's Tartuffe stands unrivalled. The per formances commenced with the opera of the Sonnwn bula, and concluded with Grintshaw, Bagshaw, and Bradshaw, which elicited shouts of laughter and ap plause. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OIJR OWN CORREFPONDENT.) THE DESERTED VILLAGE!! The rush to the Great Exhibition has almost brought our town into a position to claim the above appellation ; not a , family, but a large portion is gone to town— cot a house, but many of the former inmates are ab sent on leave, or without leave—in some instances the whole family has left, and the shop or house is closed —" Gone to the World's Fair." It is not only amongst the inhabitants of the different towns in the island that the Exhibition has such attractions, the agricul turists have gone, but many of them have sent their men, even their shepherds, and paid their expenses. That this beautiful building should be taken down, and all the wonderful things in it scattered, is re gretted by all; hundreds are still crowding to town to take a last look, and bets are freely offered that 10,000/. will be taken at the doors for admission on Saturday next! SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 7.—CRICKET.—HAMPSIIIRE AGAINST ALL ENGLAND.-2d Day—Players, Ist in nings, 93; Gentlemen, Ist innings, 41. Their last nine wickets went down without one run. CHEAP EXCURSION TRAINS. It will be remembered by our readers that at the half-yearly meeting of the London and South-Wes tern Railway Mr. Chaplin, M.P., the chairman, stated that the Board of Inland Revenue had called upon the company for a passenger duty on the cheap excursion trains, but that the company bad demurred to the payment. Since that time considerable corre spondence has taken place between the company and the Board of Inland Revenue upon this subject. The directors of the company, in their correspondence with the Board, state that they believe that the traffic on which the Board wished to enforce the passenger duty (one-eighth of a penny per mile) is a kind of traffic exempted from duty under the Act compelling the companies to carry third-class passengers (Parlia mentary). The Act states that, in order to secure to the poorer class of travellers a means of travelling at moderate fares—or at under Id. per mile," no duty shall be paid on such traffic. The directors con tend that the cheap excursion trains come legitimately under that clause in the Act. On the other hand, the Board deny that this is the case, and insist upon the payment of the duty. Up to yesterday no set tlement had taken place, and the dispute was carried on, neither party seeming inclined to yield. It is quite certain that should the Board succeed in esta blishing their claim, railway companies will be com pelled to discontinue cheap excursion trains, to the great injury of the public, as in many cases the price charged scarcely amounts to the claim made for duty. AMERICAN PERFORMERS IN LONDON. (From the New York Atlas.) The engagement of Mr. James Wallack, jun., at the Haymarket, says a London correspondent in whose im partiality and veracity we place the most implicit con fidence, had proved a deplorable and unexpected failure. He had a fair trial, it is contended; and, it is most lustily denied that anything like prejudice against Ame ricans bad aught to do with the matter. The press was liberal and just to him, and the manager, Mr. Webster, made every possible effort to sustain him. But, if the British public required a man to fill the vacancy Mr. Macready's retirement had created, they did not desire a bad copy, a bad imitation of that gen tleman. Whoever saw Mr. Wallack in the character of Werner, that was not annoyed by constantly having before him a man who reminded him of all the faults and excrescences of Mr. William Macready? London required an original actor; and, it is unnecessary to deny that Mr. Wallack failed to realize the high wrought expectations that had been engendered. Mr. Edward Davenport is now the leading actor in England. He is universally popular, and commands a higher salary than any other artist in London. His tab nts are appreciated and applauded by the people of England; and his great success affords a full and nnqua liEed refutation of the charge, that Englishmen are hos tile to American actors. Mr. Davenport is an American, a native of Boston, and as such has always presented himself in London and the provinces. EXTRAORDINARY REQUEST. At Guildhall yesterday Matilda Barton, who has for many years obtained the sympathy of the magis trates of this part of the City, and who from her ec centric and dissipated habits has secured to herself the appellation of "Mad Madge," applied yesterday to Alderman Lawrence with the following extraordinary request : Madge—l have come now to ask you a great favour, if you will grant it to me. Alderman Lawrence—What is it, Matilda ? Madge —Well, I want you to have the kindness to send me for three months to Bridewell. Alderman Lawrence—But you broke the windows when you were in there before. Madge (raising her voice)—And F 0 I would again if they offended me. An angry word will have no effect upon me, but soothe me and you may do what you like with me. Alderman Lawrence—What do you want me to do for you now, for you know I cannot send you to prison ? Madge—l know that Unless I destroy the property of those who are disposed to be my friends, that you cannot commit me to prison ; but I hope you will give me money to get some new clothes, for lam now in a most filthy state for want of theni. Alderman Lawrence —I shall not give you any money, for you only spend it in gin, your old enemy. You had money from the magistrates on Saturday, and again on Monday, and you do not seem any the better for it now. Madge—Well, if you will not give me any money, my pet, do send mo to prison again, there's a dear, and God will bless you for it. Alderman Lawrence —Suppose I lock you up in the cells beneath the court for a week, just to see how you would like three months of it ? Madge—What ! would you put me there to play with the rats ? Oh, no, Sir. I often go without food now, because I will not partake of that for whic h the people I live with work hard; and I will not steal from any one. Alderman Lawrence-1 know, Matilda, that if you were starving you would not do that. However, the only thing I can do for you is to send you to the House of Correction in Giltspur-street for 14 days as a vagrant. Madge (very much excited)—Oh, don't send me there ; let me go to Bridewell. Alderman Lawrence—l know you will thank me after you have been there a week. Madge—But you will come and see me sometimes, as that dear man Alderman Farebrother does, God bless him ? Alderman Lawrence—Certainly.

On Tuesday a man named Donald M'Phail threw himself into the canal or water cut near Inchinnan-bridge. On being immersed in the water, he seemed just as anxious to regain the land as he had formerly been to throw himself into the wat er , as h e made repeated efforts to obtain a footing on the bank as he was swept along by the tide, but before assistance could reach him he disappeared.— Greenock Adertiser. The New York papers state, on one day—the 231 of September —more than 3 ,000 emigrants arrived a t th a t port from Ir e l an d , England, Holland, Germany, Sweden, &c. On the other hand, 220 di ssat i sf i ed Irish immigrants had just shipped on board the Constitution to return to Liverpool. We understand that the difficulties which caused the suspension of Messrs. Maitland, Fawkes, and Co., on the 231 ult , have been overcome, and that in the course of a few days their liabilities will be paid in full by Mr. Fawkes, who will carry on the business as heretofore. A gentleman named Harrison, while out shooting near Llantrissent, on Friday, gave his gun to a lad to hold while he was going over a h e d ge. T he piece was then handed over to him, the muzzle pointing towards his body. From some unknown cause the piece exploded, lodging the whole of the contents in Mr. Harrison's side, and he expired in a short time. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. —Mr. William Ormsby Gore, M.P . ~ the chair man o f t h e S hrews. bury and Birmingham Railway, has retired from the direc tiou. He will be succeeded by the deputy-chairman, the Hon. R. H. Clive, M.P.; and it is understood that Henry Hill, Esq , will occupy the seat thus vacated by Alr. Clive. A workman was suffocated in a sand-pit at Wigan, on, Saturday, by a vast weight of earth falling upa Liu EVENING, OCTOBER, 9, 1851. and the country gets more and more barrel a as you approach the border, now and then relieved by a sylvan scene and a glimpse of the Solway Fritl t. From Abington to Carlisle there was no ate ppage, and so well conducted was this part of the ji mrney that time was kept to a minute throughout. The train arrived at Carlisle at 11.50, and was received by a royal salute from the Castle. Here great )repara tions had been made to receive her Majesty ; the station, which is one of the finest in the kingd om, and which affords accommodation for the traffic of five railways, was splendidly fitted up under the direction of Captain Maclean. The pillars were decorated with evergreens, banners were hung from different parts of l the roof, the royal standard floating in the breeze over the northern entrance, in expectation that the Queen would alight at the station while the engines were being changed. The waiting-room was fitted up in a most tasteful style. On the station there was a highly select party by invitation, among whom we observed the Earl of Lonadale, Lord-Lieutenant of Cumberland and Westmoreland ; Mr. G. Head, High Sheriff; the Deputy-Sheriff, the Earl of Carlisle, the Hon. C. Howard, M.P., Mr. Marshall, M.P., Mr. Hodgson, M.P., the Bishop of Carlisle, Sir J. Grant, Sir J. Graham and daughter, Mr. P. 11. Howard, M.P., Colonel Wynyatts, Colonel M'Lean, Captain Hobbs, the Hon. Colonel Lowther, M.P., and a guard of honour, the Chairman of the C a l e d on i an an d Lancas ter and Carlisle Railway, &c. The platform in front of the royal carriage was occupied by the more dis tinguished party, and the other parts of the station by the principal inhabitants of the town and county. A detachment of the 21st Regiment was present, and, with the apec:al constabulary, maintained excellent order. The High Sheriff waited on her Majesty to know her commands, and was very cordially received. Her Majesty expressed herself greatly pleased by the attention paid to her, but did not leave the carriage. The Sheriff then presented the Queen with a bouquet of flowers, which her Majesty graciously accepted. The town council having met in the morning, agreed to an address to the Queen, which was presented through Earl Grey. The engines being changed, the train started for Lancaster, a brass band playing the Na tional Anthem, and passed through a dense multitude, who had planted themselves along the line. The ap pearance of the fine old town at this time was very striking. The district of country between Carlisle and Penrith is too well known to need any particular description. Beautiful at any time, it was seen to great advantage as the Queen passed through to-day. In passing through Penrith the train lowered its speed, which afforded an opportunity to the villagers to see the Queen and give her a hearty welcome. At Shap the engines were watered, and a large con course of people were assembled to greet the Queen, and, at the signal of Mr. Henry Howard, they gave three hearty cheers. From this point onwards the line leads through a very hilly country by the course of the Pettril, where sheep pastures abound and agri culture appears to be considerably behind ; but on approaching Lancaster, on passing through the Lake district, the country improves and the scenery be comes very grand. At the Kendal junction the people had assembled in large numbers, and were honoured as the train slackened with a smile from her Majesty. The train arrived in Lancaster at ten minutes to two o'clock. LANCASTER. Here was the grand demonstration. The whole city was in holiday dress and the whole country appeared to have congregated on the auspicious occasion. Every point at the entrance to the town was occupied by groups of happy spectators—the very tower and roof of the parish church swarmed, and the battlements of the fine old Castle were alive with people. The con , course in the vicinity of the station was immense, and in the station itself the nobility and gentry, borough and county magistrates, were assembled. It was splendidly dressed up for the reception of the Queen. Evergreens and flowers were entwined on every pillar, and banners of every hue floated in the breeze. The Queen's standard waved over the tower of St. Mary's Church, and also from the Castle. On alighting at the platform her - Majesty was received by the High Sheriff, Mr. T. P. Heywood, the magistrates of the borough and county being grouped around. The platform was ornamented with flowers and vases, and the scene was very grand. Her Majesty was led to her carriage by the High Sheriff, and took her seat with Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and the Prince of Wales. The car riage was drawn by four black horses and escorted by special constabulary and the county and borough i police; and the royal carriage was accompanied by the 16th Lancers, and guard was kept at the station and Castle Parade by the 46th Regiment. When her Majesty alighted at the Castle she was conducted to the Shire-hall, where the magistrates of the borough and county presented addresses of congratulation. The address from the county was presented by Archdeacon Brooks, and the address from the borough by the Mayor. On the addresses being read her Majesty bowed very graciously, and, in a few words, expressed the satisfaction she felt at so gratifying an assurance of the loyalty of her subjects. The Venerable Archdea con Brooks was then introduced, and had the honour of kissing hands. Her _Majesty, with the Prince, the Princess Royal, and the Prince of Wales, then ascended the staircase to the Keep, and enjoyed a magnificent view of the country from John o'Gaunt's chair. On walking round the walls her Majesty was recognised by the spectators in the Castle grounds, and greeted with hearty cheers. On descending from the top of the Castle to the hall her Majesty was again cheered, and cordially bowed acknowledgments. On returning from the Castle grounds her Majesty drove slowly down to the station amid the acclama tions of the multitude, and was conducted to the royal carriage at the station by the sheriff as before. At 4 o'clock the train left, the Queen having been an hour and five minutes in Lancaster.. The train then proceeded on through Preston to Knowsley-park. At Preston there was a large con course of people. The Queen did not stop, but bowed to the people as the train passed along. . After the departure of the Queen, the Mayor and Corporation proceeded to the Castle Park, where the Mayor planted an oak sapling, in commemoration of her Majesty's visit. Just before the Queen alighted at Lancaster, two London thieves were detected by Inspector Langley, who had come down specially from the metropolis, in abstracting a valuable gold watch from the pocket of an anxious spectator. The rascals were speedily con signed to safe custody. RAINHILL. The train conveying her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal children, reached Rainhill precisely at half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the Royal party proceeded to Croxteth-hall, where they arrived at 20 minutes past five. The Royal progress from Lancashire to Rainhill was marked by no incident calling for observation. Her Majesty was received by the Earl of Sefton, who preceded the Royal cortege on horseback to Croxtetb. The Royal party, after passing through Prescot, en tered the demesne of the Earl of Derby, who, with his Countess, was in attendance in an open barouche at the Ecclestone Gate. A drive of five long miles through some of the finest park scenery in England brought her Majesty to the confines of the Croxteth estate, where Lord Sefton's tenantry were drawn out to re ceive the " Queen." Her Majesty arrived at Crox teth-hall at twenty-five minutes after five o'clock. The Countess of Sefton was in attendance upon the terrace in front of the mansion to receive her Majesty. Among the members of the family present we ob served—Mr. and Lady Caroline Townley, Mr. and Lady Louisa Oswald, Mr. Grenfell, M.P., and the Misses Grenfell, the Misses Blackburne of Hale, Mr. and Mrs. John Townley, Viscount Anson, Captain and Mrs. Molyneux, Major Herbert, Byng-hall, &c. The Croxteth tenantry mustered in large numbers, and received her Majesty as she alighted with shouts of welcome. A short time after the arrival of the Royal party, the Prince Consort accompanied Lord Sefton over the house farm, and drove through the park.. The Queen and the Royal children appeared at the windows in front of the mansion about the same period, and were received with enthusiastic shouts. The dinner party to-night will be confined to twenty guests, among whom are the Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Eleanor Hopwood, Mr. Wm. Brown, M.P. for South Lancashire, Sir Thomas Birch, M.P. for Liverpool, and Mr. Hardman Earle, one of the leading merchants of this district. The tenantry of Lord Sefton have been entertained to-day in a mag nificent marquee erected by Mr. Benjamin Edging ton on a plot of ground adjoining the mansion, and to-morrow a grand dinner will be given in honour of her Majesty's visit, to which five hundred guests have been invited. CATHERINE HAYES IN THE UNITED STATES. (From the New York Herald, Sept. 27.) Catherine Hayes has achieved, certainly, the most triumphant success by the two concerts already given at Tripler Hall, and, as she will repeat at her third concert to-night those performances which created such a wild enthusiasm at her first entertainment, another gathering of delighted thousands may be ex pected to renew the scenes of the great musical ad vent, and those of her second entertainment. Catherine Hayes, at her first concert on Tuesday evening, was surrounded by a new audience of about four thousand persons, who had been attracted by the great European reputation which she has acquired. There was a disposition to give her a warm welcome, and she received it. When she appeared, the whole audience was swayed with strong emotions in her favour, though it was evident that she was about to undergo an ordeal of criticism as rigid and close as ever fell - to the lot of a vocalist. The floral tributes which were poured upon the stage in a shower, amid acclamations, plaudits, and the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, only bore testimony to the hopes of those who had come to behold the great singer. Critics sometimes jump to conclusions with a most curious rashness, and when Catherine Hayes had finished "Ah, mon fits," there was no one, we pre sume to say, who was not ready to acknowledge that she has never been surpassed here in music of which that cavatina is the type. The breathless attention of the audience during the first few bars showed how carefully every one was watching the various quali ties of the singer; and it was not till she ascended to her highest note, and then descended to the lowest, with an unerring certainty, that a thrill of rapture at theassembly,lt was less the proof of th e ex t en t the dexteritytri u m triumph i f a t n h i e artiste mated th e than of her voice that swayed the mass with this feeling, which was almost one of awe—while the musical critic was captivated by the artistical brilliancy of the feat itself. The subsequent execution added to this first powerful impression, and so many qualities of uncommon and unsurpassed excellence were dis• covered, that enthusiasm knew no limits to its admi ration. In the ballads a similar triumph awaited her. The English ballad won every one by its pathos, de livered with such mystical expression that it en chanted by every note. The Irish ballads were equally successful; and when the vocalist left these inimitable specimens of her art to sing the more joyous finale of La Sonnambula, the storm of en thusiasm that arose from the rapid and brilliant exci tation of the rondo was like a tempest in its vehe mence. Here had the vocalist been admirable in four different styles of music —and bad been so great in her execution of each that admirers were baffled in their attempts to make a choice. Of course, this did not affect the general result; for it is to be presumed that every honest auditor was satisfied that Catherine Hayes is an artiste of the first class. The second concert, however, affected something more for the re putation of the vocalist, and, confirming the first decided impressions, added to the confidence of the earlier judgment. " Casta Diva" could never have left upon our musical critics, who are worthy of the name, a more completely satisfactory sense of perfect and true vocalization, aided by the accessories lying within the realm of expression, which are easier to be felt than to be described. The andante was one tide of sacred melody, to which the gushing joyousness o the allegro only added a multitude of musical flowers as a startling though brilliant decoration. The aud ence were compleCely aroused by the splendour of the execution and the design—in which art did not sacri. fice nature for its own selfish gratification. So much for the taste—exquisite musical taste of Catherine Hayes. It would be but to repeat the story of her triumphs to notice again at length the other songs of the second concert, which were encored as a matter of course. It should be enough for those interested to know that the real position occupied by Catherine Hayes cannot be higher then it is in the minds of those who are really lovers of vocal music of the purest charactet. There is no fear that too much can be said of her; and she has exhibited a combination of excellencies so rare in one vocalist that we shall be very slow to place a limit upon the extent of her abilities. Never has any vocalist visited this country who has had more reason to be proud of making her accomplishments the theme of a great people; and wherever she goes musical taste, in proportion to its elevation and purity, will acknowledge her manifold merits. Augustus Braham, Herr Mengis, and Lavenu, who have accompanied Catherine Hayes to this country, have given very satisfactory evidences of their being entitled to the reputation which has preceded them. Augustus Braham, who has been warmly welcomed, sings with much delicacy, and with power and effect. Herr Mengis also has proved himself to be a good musician and a skilful singer, and at times displays a volume of voice which would do good service on the boards of the lyric drama. Indeed, both of these vocalists, we doubt not, would prove very attractive in the scenes of opera, where they would not be con fined to that etiquette demanded in the concert room. Augustus Braham seems to us to be restrained in his impulses, though he sings with taste and feeling. Lavenu, the conductor of the concerts, has made a very favourable impression. His compositions have much merit, and he presides at the pianoforte ad mirably. THE GOLD DISCOVERY IN AUSTRALIA. A respectable printer, who lately emigrated to Syd ney from Dublin, has written the following letter to to the Freeman' s J ourna l : " 488, George-street, Sydney, Jane 2, 1851. " Sir,—l do not know whether auy apology is needed for enclosing you, per post, the accompanying news paper, which contains a summary of the discovery of gold in New South Wales----my object being that the in habitants of my native city may have the first intelli gence of this extraordinary event, without being under the necessity of taking it at second-hand from au Eng lish newspaper. " The excitement in Sydney, consequent on this won derful discovery, is beyond description. Business, which had been very brisk, is at present at a perfect stand still, and nothing of consequence doing but in preparation for the mines at Bathurst, which are about 150 miles from this. Men are leaving profitable situations in every direction, and nothing is heard or talked of but going to the " diggings." Last week flour raised from 18/. to 30/. per ton. To-day it has fallen to 25/. Coals, which had been 205., are now 2/. ss. per ton, with an expecta tion of being still higher. Stonema:ons and carpen ters, who had been getting 6s: a day, are now getting 95., and only about half the usual number loft. Porters' wages now 30s. per week in most establishments. Beef and mutton are still 3d. and 4d. per pound. The loaf (same as the small loaf in Dublin) has gone up from 4id. to 11. Blacksmiths aro getting great wages making picks, &c., for the diggers. Several immense pieces of Bathurst gold go to the Great Exhibition of Industry by this ship —one weighing nearly four pounds troy weight. This I can vouch for, as they were exhi bited in the establisnment of which I am a partner, and wore under my own cognisance. --I remain, Sir, in baste, yours very truly, _ - " W. MACDONNELL, " Late of 13, Anglesea-street, Dublin." LORD JOHN RUSSELL and LORD LUCAN. Lord John Russell has made the following tempe rate and dignified reply to Lord Lucen's letter : " Tan-y-Bwlch, Sept. 27, 1851. "My Lord,—l have had the honour to receive your letter of the 23d inst., conveying the observa tions of the boards of guardians of the county of Mayo. These observations do not appear to me to take away the force of the remarks made in my previous letter. " Whether the moneys, advanced under the Acts you mentioned were squandered in a reckless manner or not—whether the persons to whom the relief was extended were those entitled to relief or not—it is clear that it cannot be incumbent on any persons charged with the execution of the law to set the ex ample of resistance to the law. But, further, the guardians must recollect that the sums borrowed were borrowed by local bodies, and charged upon the ratepayers. It was impossible for a Government to p e p o o o i fi n d t e localuoe forb bodies, the sie , distinguish the proper objects of relief from th e im proper—allthemy o c s o t u d ld ee d e o ry w in a g s to of a purposeapparently o N oneo f se the willlec tion. y that there was muc h waste in the expenditure of the sums advanced. But no one will deny, either, that of the hundreds of thousands who received wages in money or relief in food, the greater part were victims of the great calamity which at thAt time afflicted Ireland. " I must repeat that the object of the Acts of Par liament you mention was not to make useful public works, but to give food, or the means of procuring food, to the destitute. " But whatever abuses might exist, either from local mismanagement or the inability of the Board of Works to control so vast a system of relief, the sum of four millions granted by the Imperial Parliament must have surpassed the amount of sums so thrown away. " I must again ask your Lordship, yourself a Member of the Legislature, to withdraw your plea of setting yourself above the law, and to substitute for it those considerations to which the Treasury can " I have the honour , &c. , properly listen.

GREAT WESTERN EXIIIIIITION TRAINs.—The trains from Bristol yesterday brought 3,000 p ersons , an d ixvia DMla 2,000, te the L4ubitivn. HER MAJESTY'S PROGRESS EDINBURGH, TUESDAY NIGHT. Tuesday last being the day appointed for the Court to leave Balmoral, a few of the tenantry and neigh hours assembled about the approaches to the Castle, but there was no public display. The weather was very unfavourable, the rain pouring down in torrents. At the appointed hour the Queen's carriage, contain ing her Majesty and the Prince, the Princess Royal, and the Prince of Wales, drove down the avenue, fol lowed by the carriage of the other royal children and the Ladies in Waiting; and then came Earl Grey, Colonel Phipps, Captain Gordon, Sir James Clark, and Mr. Birch in a char-a-banc. Two carriages with the household servants had been sent on before. The route first travelled by the Queen, from the railway to Balmoral, was by the Spittal of Glenshee, a very wild and tedious drive ; but her Majesty pre fers the road by the banks of the Dee to Banchory, and thence across the lower range of the Grampians to the railway station at Stonehaven, about fifteen miles from the city of Aberdeen. Leaving Abergeldie on the left, a fine old mansion, long the property of a branch of the ancient family of Gordon, and now posseuted by the Duchess of Kent, the royal cortege passed Prince Albert's property of Birkhall, crossed from the south to the north side of the Dee, and ended the first stage of their journey at the village of Ballater. Here a fresh relay of horses was put on, and a large concourse of people had as sembled to testify their loyalty to the Queen. A de tachment of the 42d Regiment, the depot of which is now at Aberdeen, were drawn up on the square, and her Majesty cordially acknowledged the acclamations of the people. Leaving Ballater, and driving down the north side of the Dee, her Majesty reached Aboyne, where she was again greeted by the cheers of a loyal and attached people. On leaving Banchory, which was their next stage, the royal cortege passed across the romantic bridge of Teugh, and then turning eastward the road led down a level and highly cultivated country, and, turning to the south, the cortege crossed the Grampian Chain, at a place called the Slug, and for seven miles the drive was as cheerless, barren, and wild as can well be I. imagined. From the top of the Slug the view to the north is singularly rich and picturesque ; but to the south it is shut up by mountain scenery, which is at length relieved on the south side, where a rich and varied landscape all at once opens to the view. On emerging from the Slug the Queen passed through a splendid triumphal arch, and then drove on by Ury, the seat of Captain Barclay, towards the railway station at Stonebaven, where the royal carriage drew up at the south entrance at half-past one o'clock, and was hailed by the acclamations of the people. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and the Prince of Wales, on alighting from the carriage, were received by Lord James Hay, the chairman of the Aberdeen Railway, Mr. Alexander Pirie, vice chairman, Mr. Keith, the secretary, Major Christie, Mr. Birnie, of Ashgrove, and Mr. Wallace, of Perth, directors. Her Majesty and the Prince acknowledged the attention of these gentlemen and walked to the private apartments, where luncheon was laid, and which are fitted up in a most elegant style. The principal room was decorated by Winterhalter's por trait of the Queen and the Prince, the Royal children, and other portraits of high character, supplied for the occasion by Messrs. John and James Hay, of Aber deen—the furnishings are of the most superb de scription. While her Majesty and suite were thus engaged within the station the people were collecting with out. The weather, which bad been very stormy from the time the Royal party crossed the Grampians, now cleared up, and nothing could be finer than the scene at this moment. At five minutes to two the Queen and the Prince, with the Royal children, entered the Royal carriage, which was drawn up on the line in front of the sta tion, and which, with the other carriages composing the Royal train, was sent down from London by the directors of the London and North-Western Railway under the care of Mr. Wright. At two o'clock the pilot engine started, and was soon followed by the Royal train, drawn by two of the most powerful of the Scottish Central and Aberdeen engines, under the charge of Mr. George Harrison, superintendent of the locomotives on those lines. The course of the railway from Stonehaven to Perth is right through the fertile vale of Strathmore, the scenery of which is highly picturesque. The train stopped to water at Forfar, where a great multitude of people, some of them very rude, crowded close to the Royal Family. Leaving Forfar, it was found that one of the axles of a truck carriage had caught fire, which occasioned some delay in taking the carriage off at Cupar-Angus and made the train 15 minutes late in arriving at Perth. Here there was a fresh display of loyal feel ing and enthusiasm. The landing platform was lined by two companies of the 79th Highlanders, under the command of Captain Taylor, and as the Royal train drew up the piper of that regiment played a High land welcome. The Provost and magistrates of the city paid their dutiful obedience to the Queen, and were very cordially received ; while Lady Richard son presented bouquets of flowers and a basket of fruit to the Royal Family, which her Majesty was pleased to accept. On leaving Perth, the multitude, whose conduct was most respectful, cheered the Royal train heartily. The train now sped its course up Strathearn, and as it approached Stirling a Royal salute was fired from the Castle. Having t o water at t h e s t a ti on great preparations were m a d e t o d o h onour t o th e Queen. The 79th Regiment, whose head-quarters are at Stirling, were drawn up. Flags were flying on all the public buildings, and hundreds of people occupied every point from which a glance of the Queen could be obtained. P rovost S awyers an d the other magistrates of Stirling had the honour of being acknowledged by her Majesty, and both the Queen and the Prince seemed greatly pleased with their reception at Stirling. At the Lambert Junction, where the train entered on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway at a quarter to six o'clock, the two engines of the Scottish Central were removed and a s i ng l e eng i ne of the Edinburgh and Glasgow R a il way was pu t on , and was proceeding at the rate of about thirty miles an hour, when all at once the train was enveloped in steam, and the engine gradually lost power and came to a dead stand in a cut and curve at Kirkliston, about eight miles from Edinburgh. It was no w ascertained that one of the feeding Pip es h a d b urs t, and no further progress could V ) made until anot h er eng i ne was got from Edinburgh. As the 5.30 tra i n f rom Glasgow was nearly du e , d anger signals were di s • tpatched down the line, and every precaution was taken o prevent any accident. The Queen, on being made aware of the cause of the delay,evinced her usual self-pos session and considerate composure, assuring the direc tors of the railway, who w ere in te train with their e ngineer, that she had the f u l lest confidence i n th e i r judgment and discretion. At 20 minutes past 7 o'clock a fresh engine was announced, and at the s ame time the train from Glasgow came up slowly behind. At 25 minutes past 7 o ' c l oc k the train s tarted, and arrived safely in Edi n b urg h at 8, where the Queen was received by the Sheriff of the county, Sir James Riddell, Commander of the Forces, the Lord Provost of the city, and Sir James Forrest, and soon after drove to Holyrood Palace amid the cheers of a large concourse of people. -- - EDINBURGH, WED NESDAY MORNING. giving good tokens of a brilliant day .

A t t h e station extensive preparations had been made for her Majesty's reception. At 8 o'clock precisely her Majesty left the Palace, and was loudly cheered as the Royal carriage pro ceeded to the station.

From Beattock the line is on a gentle de cline all the way to Carlisle. At Moffat station there was a numerous gathering of people, who cheered heartily as they caught a glance of her Majesty while passing at the rate of 35 miles an hour. The scenery here is singularly picturesque. The vale of Moffat is highly cultivated, and had just yielded heavy crops, all of which are stored.

Ryland, the Revising Barrister, held a court at the Swan I nn , Ch ertsey, on Wednesday, to revise the list of voters for East Moulsey and other parishes. The Westminster Freehold Land Society having purchased an estate of thirty acres, fifty-one members claimed to be inserted on the register; forty-one of these had been o bj ected to by the Con servatives. At the sitting of the court a great muster of the members attended to support these claims, with Mr. G. E. Dennes, the solicitor to the society, and Mr. G. Huggett, the secretary. Mr. Rand and Mr. Smallpiece attended for the Conservatives. The claim of Mr. G. E. Dennes was first taken. Mr. Huggett took an objection to the form of ob jection, the name of the objector being " George Loveland, of Guildford," whereas his name aside scribed on the register was " George Loveland, of High-street, Guildford." Mr. Huggett cited the cases of Woollett and Davis and Pruen and C ox ; an d t h e R ev i s i ng Barrister decided that the object or h a d not g i ven a sufficient description of his place of abode, and, consequently, the objection was defective, and he allowed all the claims. The room was crowded, and great interest was manifested during the proceedings. The effect of this decision will be that, in all proba bility, a Liberal will be returned for the county at the next election. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, OCT.

RED DEER. The march of civilization or cultivation threatens ,o play a very strong hand against some of old Bri tain's sports a n d p as ti mes . Breaking up grass lands, reclaiming waste lands, and the general rage for rail ways and enclosures will alter the character of some of our diversions a-field before long. In the mean time, then, it becomes us to pickle and preserve spe cimens of such as we can still put our hands on intact and unaltered. Foremost amongst these stands the red deer—an animal whose pursuit in this kingdom has ever been attended with something of the grand and majestic. Stalk up to him at Atholl, or turn him out on Maidenhead thicket—the sport he affords has still ever an imposing look with it. Whether achieved amongst the wildest and most noble scenery of our island, and with the greatest skill and energy the sportsman can boast of ; or, taken and retaken on the most artificial system our mighty hunters have stooped to—the red deer must yet hold high rank as " Royal game." From a variety of causes the red deer are said to be every day becoming scarcer, even in the High lands of Scotland—a territory that should be their own, and where on many domains every effort is still made to preserve them. On this side of the border our surest finds would be in the paddocks of her Ma jesty at Ascot, or of Baron Rothschild at Tring— though one quarter certainly yet offers them a home more in accordance with their wild free taste, as more :appropriate, perhaps, in the character of its scenery and disposition to the true stag-hunt. Many writers in this work, from the time of Nimrod and his tours downwards, have celebrated the Forest of Exmoor, its red deer, and its glorious runs. Almost all, however, with the plaudite et valete ; as too well grounded fears are expressed that before many years this pristine and most attractive sport will die away for want of game. It is hut fair, though, to give here a fact in direct contradiction to the cultivation versus rural recreation argument with which we com menced this notice. Of all the landowners on the Exmoor, the Knight family are vow, we believe, making themselves most justly famed for the im mense improvements they are effecting in the agri culture of this part of Devcnshire. To properly attain this, they have engaged as resi dent agent one of the best practical farmers in England—Mr. Robert Smith, late of Burley, in Rutlandshire, a gentleman as celebrated for his breed of Lcricesters as for his many prize essays to the Royal Agricultural &•oiety of England. In a con versation we lately had with him, la e heard with much pleasure, that on the whole of this extensive estate the deer are more strictly preserved, and every recompense made by the landlord to the tenant for any damage done by them. We are rather inclined to think, indeed, that the sport of Exmoor mainly de pends on this liberal and sportsmanlike feeling, and so hope to find, for many a long day to come, that the breed of prize-turnips and of famous deer in no way disagree one with the other. The Exmoor country has this year been hunted by Captain West, the new mas ter of the Bath staghounds—a very capital sportsman, as well as a most determined man over a country on almost any sort of horse. As the gallant Captain, moreover, has a bit of a t urn f or fancy farming, and as Mr. Smith can enjoy and keep his place in tinh a eay r r un, we workw deer , eo n t u Nla s ,ne t ali btw ge e e n e them that the hunting in r. improvements --isns husbandry, f for October.
