Sir,—One good to be attained, indirectly perhaps, from the Exhibition, is the repudiation, once and for ever, of our ugly, uncomfortable, and unhealthy head gear—hats. For this purpose I suggest the formation, in London and in every provincial town, of an "Anti-Hat League," the members of which shall one and all abjure the pre sent unsightly chimney-pot hat.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1851. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 7,000 hales, of which 1,000 American were done taken en speculation. and 300 Brazil for export. The y. sales comprised about 5,000 American, 1,100 Pernam and Maranhain at 6p3. to 743., 100 Bahia at 7d. to 7id., and 500 Surat at *. to 4d. per lb. The market closed heavily, and American sorts were about id. per lb. lower than on Friday last.—Railway Shares were greatly depressed at lower prices. Since the statement appeared in a morning contempo rary, as to the new discoveries of guano at the Seychelle Islands, attention has been awakened to the matter, and there is an apparent anxiety for information con cerning them as well as the other dependencies of Mau ritius. We understand that detailed charts and maps by Mr. Charles Pridham, published by Messrs. Boone, as far back as 1848, in his work on the Mauritius, fur nish all that is needed as to the islands in question as well as the other islands thereabouts that contain guano. The harbours, anchorages, soundings, and supplies ob tainable at each island are given for the guidance of the mercantile and shipping interest. Notice was taken upon a former occasion of the hasty and ill-judged proceedings in the Legislatures of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in regard to the proposals of Earl Grey for carrying out a main trank line of railway from Halifax to Quebec. The people of those colonies, we are assured, do not coincide with their representatives, and it is highly satisfactory to find that in Quebec a decided movement in favour of the undertaking has been made by influential parties, who assembled in public meeting, and passed various resolutions, and among others, to the 54 X effect, " that no doubt can be entertained, according to the unbiassed calculations and estimates of Major Robinson, the officer superintending the survey of the different routes for the proposed railroad from Halifax to Quebec, that this railroad, w hi c h w ill open to all points of Canada a direct and rapid communication with Europe, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and cause an extensive emigration to these provinces, and become a second St. Lawrence during our long winter, would ultimately yield a revenue exceeding cur present most sanguine expectations; that, moreover, there is no instance on this continent of a railroad of any ex tent having failed to produce an income greatly beyond the interest of the cost of construction. That supposing the apprehension that this road might continue a few years without yielding a profit, to be well founded, such 14 233 apprehensions can offer no reasonable grounds to the Le gislature for refusing to undertake it, inasmuch as works of this:character are not constructed exclusivelywith a view to the production of a revenue, but chiefly for the pur pose of opening internal communications, and develop ing th© resources of a country; thus our canals and other great public works, which have cost the provinces more than five million pounds, and barely yield a revenue of fifty thousand prounds, have, nevertheless, increased more than tenfold the value of the real estate and the general wealth of Upper Canada. That the movers and seconders of the above resolutions be, with the Mayor, a committee to draft a petition, founded upon the said reso lutions, to be presented to the three branches of the Legis lature, praying them to adopt, without delay, such measures as they may deem calculated to meet the views of the Im perial Government, and to place the Provincial Govern ment in a condition to enter with all possible diligence upon this great undertaking; and that his worship the May or be now respectfully re quested to sign and trans mit the same to his Excellency the Governor-General and the two Houses of Parliament. That this meeting express the hope that the other provinces, who are equally interested with Canada in the realization of this great enterprise will not render it impossible, by refusing their concurrence, or by imposing conditions which can not be accepted." In the present temper of the mother country, and with the growing indisposition not to he taxed for the benefit Ws , of the colonies, we think the latter had better accept a good offer while it is open. The following extract, of the state of the New Orleans' Cotton Markets, dated April 26, is from the Circular of Messrs. Seines ler and Mummy, and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool:— "At the close of our last review, dated 12th instant, our market had assumed a mere satisfactory aspect. This was of short duration, however, and the market speedily resumed its sluggish appearance; sales to some % X extent could only be effected at continually easier rates, and amounted to only 22,800 bales, daring the week ending 18th instant, though the decline from the rates quoted in our last review was fully a of a cent. "The advices by Liverpool steamer of sth instant, reporting a decline of id., were soon followed by accounts of the steamer of 9th instant, which, though not lower, were by no means more satisfactory, and little calculated to import more activity or firmness to our great staple. Sales during this week were on a still more restricted scale than during the previous one, although factors sub mitted to a further decline of gtol of a cent until further edvices by the steamer of 12th Instant, with a further decline of id. were received. These, however, may be said to hare been anticipated, subsequent sales 20 having been made at rates current before their arrival. The business of the week amounts to only 17,800 bales, a small figure indeed, considering our stocks, and the continued heavy re ce ip ts, w hi ch now exceed' those of last year by 135,539 bales; and, we must confess, are well calculated to engender some doubts as to the correct iess— ness of th e p rev i ous estimates of 2,200,000 bales. " Much attention is naturally paid to prospects for our . next crop, even at this early period of the season; and as it cannot be denied that the weather, during the last week, has been most unseasonable, it may be inferred that it has proied detrimental in some degree. Tele graphic dispatches from various sections of the country farther north report frosts injurious to the plants. We quote our present prices as follows: "Ordinary, 7ic. to Bc.; good ordinary, 94c. to 9Ae.; middling, 103. to 104 c.; good middling, 104 c. to 104 c.; middling fair, 11c. to llic.; fair, 12ic. Sales during the last fortnight, 40,600 bales. Receipts at this port since Ist Sept., 867,982 bales, against 732,443 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest dates, 219,992 bales." The English Funds have been steady, and with rather more busiueas doing. Consols have realised 97i for Transfer, and 97i s for Account.

John Piddington, aged 45, described as a 14bourer, was convicted of unlawfully assaulting Eridget Mcnahon, aged six years, and sentenced to 12 months' imprison ment with hard labour. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The May adjourned sessions were opened this morn ing, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Sergeant Adams. The calendar contains the names cf 61 prisoners. There was great difficulty in forming a jury, and a great many who did not answer to their names were set down as fined. The Learned JUDGE, in his address to the jury, ex pressed his ri gret that so much time had been lost in getting a panel together. Denis Derhing, convicted of picitieg pockets at the last sessions, was brought up for judgment. The Learned JUDGE read a list of the prisoner's nu merous convictions for larceny of various kinds, amounting. in all to forty-eight, since the sessions of November, 1845. Any future chance the prisoner could have must be in another country, as he would be transported beyend the seas for ten years. MARLBRO'-STREE I '—(THIS DAY.) A MISCREANT,— William Finisher, a dirty, ill-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with violating the persons of two little girls under seven years of age. The charge, which is of too disgusting a nature to lay before the public, was fully established, and the prisoner was committed fur trial. THE EXHIBITION AND TILE POLICE COURTS.—Since the opening of tha " World's Fair," there have been less charges et this court, in which district the Crystal Palace is situated, than the public would imagine. The police arrangements for the detection of the chevaliers d' Industrie have tended in a great measure to cause the depression in business ut this court, as well as others in the immediate vicinity. THE LATE FATAL CATASTROPHE IN GRACECHURCH-S2'REET. COROINEit'S INQUEST._ -(THIS DAY.) This morning at ten o'clock the inquest on the bodies of Matthew Conner, Timothy Donohue, James Ilarri gen, Martin Cronin, and William Hendley, who were killed by the late accident in Graccchurch•street, was opened before Mr. Payne, and a highly respectable jury, at the London Tavern. The jury having been sworn proceeded to viee the bodies, lying in Allhallows Church, and afterwards in. spected the ruins of the buining. On their return to the inquest-room The CORONER thnught the best way of proceeding would be to commence with evidence descriptive of the nature of the building, so as to enable the jury to decide how far the Act of Parliament had been complied with in its construction. Mr. Cox, of the firm of Cox and .Stone, Poultry, solicitors, appeared on behalf of Messrs. Bell and Cor bett, who were anxious for inquiry, and ready to give evidence. Mr. Richard Bell said the building at which the accident had occurred was the joint property of him self and Charles Jos e ph C or b ett, they being architects of Pope's Bead Alley. The building in question had been erected on the site of the old Cross Keys Inn, the whole of which had been pulled down to make room for the new structure, which was intended for merchants' offices, fire proof, up on F ox and Barrett's patent. (Witness produced a ground-plan of the new building.) The building was commenced in September last. lie was over the whole of the building on Friday evening last at half•past six o'clock, and it then appeared to be in a safe state. Mr. Dennison, the contractor for the plaistering, was with him. They went for the purpose of seeing if there had been any " settling," but could not discover as much as a " hair crack" about the walls. He went again at eleven on Saturday morning, and found the west staircase wall, near the centre of the building, had gone down, and drawn with it the floors and external wall of xt the church. He inquired of the contractor, Mr. Dorrett, what had been the cause, not being able to imagine any. was told that only one body was under the ruins, but never left the spot until the bodies had been taken out, Thole were five, one of which was not taken out WI yesterday. The cause of the accident was the breaking. of an iron girder crossing the staircase from north to south. That girder was at the top of th e b u ildi ng. I ts we i g h t was about 35 cwt. or two tons, and it broke everthing as it fell, the floors prizing the walla over with them at the same time. There were eight girders of the same sort, which were furnished by ;gr. Ford. Had generally visited the building once a day. Had seen i the iron work generally, b u t did not exam i ne i nto its quality. It was perhaps his own duty, although he had not done so. It had been examined, hey supposed, by the foreman. The contract was to have it proved before delivery. Had proved some of the smaller bearers, but the larger ones could not be proved on the premises. The bearers were made a third stronger than usual; one of the smaller ones had brok en when. tried with nine tim es t h e weight it would have had to tear on the building, had examined the girder which as the cause of the acci dent, and found a flaw in the under portion of it, It was 12 inches deep; the bottom flange 7 inches wide. The whole thickness of the metal was inch, The flaw, in his opinion, was caused in the castingwould There are many circumstances in , casting which make such a flaw, but I do rant 1391 Y ho w this one oc curred. There were means of disco vering this fla w before it was painted over; but if this girder hal been properly proved it must have brok en. This girder was to have been proved with sir tons on the centre; but whether it was done I have no means of suing The paint the g i r d er before it was sent . to contractor had to our premises. I calculated that the girder would have carried 36 tons. There went such precautions taken that if these girders had not broken nothing could have caused the accident Mr. penult was the contractor for the whole work —we furnishing the materials, part of which, the bricks, lime, and aand, we purchased of Mr. Reddin, a large dealer in these things. There was more cement in the b u d d i ng than in any other building where it was not wholly conszructed of cement. lam sure the accident did not occur from any defect in the brickwork, Before we com mence a building we give notice to the district F. ur vey or ; Ke sho4 him the drawings before tie commence. The surveyor was only on the premises once during the progress of the works, and then he came only about the piny e I thing any one may carry a a building without the personal superiu ndence of the d istrict surveyor. The ac cident, I am con fid ent, occurred ,:through the breaking of the girder, which had a flaw in it. The building was of the extra first-rate class. The district' surveyor never made any 'complaint ebent the insecurity of the building. 11'e had no other surveyor but ourselves'.

The Court was occupied during the whole morning in trying an action which was brought to recover a part of the value of a cargo of chicory, which on its arrival in the port of London was found to be greatly deteriorated iu value. The only question involved in dispute was whether the cargo waa damaged previously to being shipped, or on board the vestel on its voyage from Goole to London?

A Weekly Budget. No. I. A comical little rival to our London Charivari, ap' pears in a guise the most " motley" ever assumed by te3 ter, that of—Everybody. Li the initial number before f us are several ca pi ta l auguries of drollery, such as, only partially realized, will secure to the conductors no inconsiderable weed of popularity. As a rather amusing specimen of the humour with which the writers contrive to dilate upon even the most back' neyed themes, take the following excerpt from Everybody's Guide through London : "Temple -bar is the western boundary of the City, and was built from Wren's design, in 1670, and as the heads of traitors used to be exhibited here, it may be F aid that the execution was quite equal to the design. The interior is leased from the City by Messrs. Child the Bankers, who as they are the oldest in London, must be considered tolerably old boys: the eldest partner 1 5 quite the Child of circumstances. Here are de posited ell their ledgers and , cash-books, so •that they could give some very excellent accounts of themselves. To show the power of the Lord Mayor the ponderous gates of this civic barrier are always shut upon the occasion of royal visits to the City, and it is only when the herald sounds a trumpet that the proces sion is allowed to pass, when it goes, like the trumpet, two-to-two too. The Temple is so called from the Knights Templars, but they have long since been superseded bythe la wy ers,who baying here taken up their abode, supply from their chambers some expensive information for the people. Entering the Strand we have before us the church of St. Clement Danes, rebuilt in 1682, by William Pierce, who received the design from Wren, 3 ° that Mr. Pierce himself may be thought to have been little robbin' I On the right by the pillars is the entrance to Clement's Inn. B eneath these pillars those who eater for the appetites of al fresco diner's out generally take up their stand, so that from these cater-pillars many obtain what they call, curious'," enough, their " grub." Essex-street, on the opposite side, owes its name to the Earl of Essex, and to perpe tuate this circumstance there has been a pier at the end of the street ever since. Holy well -street is thickly in habited by newsvenders and old clothesmen, and both may be consequently regarded as " gentlemen connected with the Press." Passing the Strand Theatre, now celled " Punch's Pl a yh ouse, " from the dramatic jest devrits enacted therein, we may draw the attention of th e stranger, to Strand-lane, where there is a celebrated Roman Bath. It was to this bath that the Romans were told to go by the rebellious Britons when they were tired of seeing them any longer, and the origin of a popular saying is thus made manifest." Calder Campbell the Major had better look to his reputation, for in a "Madrigal for May," by a sort bf Calder Campbell the Minor, we have promise of some rare examples of pastoral poetry. " The Green horn in London," being a burlesque for the breakfast table, takes the most delightfully preposterous liber ties with the dignity of Comus.
