The Jews were al ready permitted to exercise the highest authority in the administration of the law, and considering their position, their social influence, their wealth, their loyalty, an d their love of order, he thought they should no longer be excluded from the exercise of legislative func tions also. Earl NELSON moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Lord WODEHOUSE supported the Bill. The Archbishop of DUBLIN regretted that the Bill &id not go far enough. It should have gone to the extent of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 16 1 1851 removing every religious disability from all her Majesty's subjects. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY believed that persons holding such opinions as the Jews ought not to legislate for a Christian country. He might meet the accusation of persecution which had been brought against the oppo nents of this measure, by a counter-accusation of infide lity, but he would not do so. The Earl of CARLISLE considered the ultimate suc cess of the,measure certain, and besought their Lordships not to place themselves in dangerous antagonism to the other House and to public opinion. The Earls of WINCHELSEA and GALLOWAY and Lord ABINGER opposed the Bill, which was supported by the Earl of WicKLow, the Duke of ARGYLL, and the Bishop of NORWICH. The LORD CHANCELLOR replied. After which their Lordships divided, and the numbers were— For the second reading Against it ... Majority ... The Bill was consequently lost. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the House of Commons, - • ... 108 ... 144 ••• ... -36 Mr. M. GIBSON withdrew his County Rates Expen diture Bill. Mr. BANKES moved that it be an instruction to the General Committee of Elections, to select a chairman and six other Members to be a Select Committee, ap pointed, to inquire: into the allegations of a petition re lative to the last election for the borough of Harwich ; and that the Members so selected do constitute the said Committee, with power to send for persons, papers, and records, and that five be a quorum. The petition charged that there had been, on the part of the Government officer an undue influence and interference in the said election. The motion was opposed by Mr. COBDEN, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, and Mr. B. OSBORNE, on the ground that the corruption of Harwich was so notorious that it ought to be at once disfranchised. It was supported by Mr. J. STtT u AßT b a r n a er d w Mr e . — DISRAELL The House divided , a nd the rime For the motion of Mr. BANKEs ... 8 82 Against it Majority in favour ... ... —2 The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheering. On the motion for the House resolving itself into Com mittee of Supply, Mr. Sergeant MURPHY called the attention of the First Lord of the Admiralty to the want of accommodation for the repair of steam-vessels at Hawlboline, and moved that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the subject. Sir F. BARING opposed the motion. After a short discussion, in which several Irish Mem bers took part, The House divided, and the numbers were— For the motion.— ... 26 Against it ... 104 Majority The attention of the House was then directed by Mr. P. MILES to the case of the Bishop of GLOUCESTER, and the lease of the Horfield manor. An animated discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. HORSMAN vindicated the course he had pursued, and Mr. GLADSTONE and Sir JAMES GRAHAM defended the Bishop. Eventually the subject dropped, and the House went into Committee of Supply. The remainder of the evening was occupied in dis cussing the estimates. Everything has hitherto prospered in reference to the Great Industrial Exhibition. Not England alone, but each of the principal nations of Christen dom respectively has materially aided in its develop ment. Insomuch has this universal enterprise been responded to, that every incidental expense has been long since liquidated by the proceeds of this gigantic undertaking. Proposals have consequently been made fur the ultimate purchase of the Crystal Palace, so that the event which has thus conspicuously marked the present year of grace 1851 may be perpetuated in the national remembrance. " NARIUS " has demonstrated not merely the facility of such an arrangement, but the beneficial end to which the edifice when thus ren. dered public property might be turned. The popular mind has in this manner become fami liarized with the idea of a permanent structure in Hyde-park, where the inhabitants of the metro polis might promenade in all weathers, under a trans parent roof, in the midst of green trees and aromatic shrubs, among flowers and fountains, with creeping plants trailed up the pillars, and vines festooned across the naves and transept, philosophers lecturing to their classes upon mysteries of science no longer recondite, sculptors displaying their statuary, and artists their paintings in a profusion hitherto imprac• ticable from the restricted limits of our galleries, and under circumstances more than ever advantageous. Suggestions have likewise been thrown out for the revival of this wholesome competition among all labourers in art or in industry, by supplementary ex positions such as would infallibly be calculated to maintain the stimulus now first imparted to civili zation. Meanwhile the citizens of Paris are making consi derable preparations for the reception of the Royal Commissioners, on the occasion of a grand banquet to be gis en in the Hotel de Ville, a banquet which, it is hoped, may be attended not only by the LORD MAYOR of London, but also by several of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, Red, above all, by the august originator of the whole enterprise, the illustrious PRINCE, the Consort of our SO VEREIGN. Whether these anticipa tions of our neighbours meet with realization or dis appointment, it is certain that the festivities given in the capital of the French Republic will be worthy of the great nation which has principally participated with ourselves in the carrying out of the Exhibition. Gratifying as these things are, there is, neverthe less, one point in the arrangements which has excited the chagrin of the exhibitors themselves, and one, moreover, which is likely to inflict no small amount of injury upon many indi viduals. We allude to the regulations ac • cording to which it has been resolved to delay the distribution of the prizes until such time as the ex position shall have been actually consummated. A little reflection, we are satisfied, will be sufficient to N convince any unprejudiced mind that by such an ar r angement as this no advantage whatever is obtained, ea ;He, on the contrary, a very grievous injury Ls, on various persons, necessarily and inevi ;eably inflicted. Supposin g, for example, that in any particular department one exhibitor has, 'by the unequalled excellence of his contribu s slops, immeasurably distanced all competitors, hearing away the palm even to the unanimous opinion of the multitude, by denying him the benefits certain to accrue from a first-class prize until such time as the display in the Crystal Palace has been actually closed, you withhold from him the principal portion of the good otherwise arising from his incontestable superiority. Besides which, his rivals in that particu lar branch of art or industry, availing themselves of his masterpiece as a prototype, may (and we know, for a fact, really do) in the meantime copy his ideas, and by so doing benefit fraudulently through their respective customers. The evil here com plained of is really of a nature so grievous and manifest that it is earnestly to be hoped that a speedy, or at any rate an earlier distribution of the prizes may be resolved upon by the Commissioners. By such a modification of their arrangements a grievance of some magnitude would be very readily obviated, a grievance which, it should be remembered, is every day becoming more and more lamentably experienced. Apart altogether from the conduct of the Industrial Exhibition itself, there are projects connected with the Crystal Palace eminently deserving consideration. Among these, by no means the least interesting in its character, is one embodied in a design recently con tributed to the Fine Arts Department of the Exposi tion. According to the scheme indicated by the author, or architect of this design, Mr. E. BENNETT, C•E•1 of Westminster, it is proposed that a national monument to his Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT shall commemorate the Great Industrial Ex hibition of 1851 and the chief events con nected therewith, effecting this by bronze relief, and by emblematic sculpture illustrative of the noble object his Royal Highness had in view as the creat or o f the entire enterpr i se. A g l ance at this as it is represented i n t h e Fi ne A rts Department of the Cryst a l P a l ace, w i ll amp l y repay the curiosity of the visitor, revealing, as the sketch does, a considerable amount of skill and ingenuity. Besides indicating the fact that the PRINCE CONSORT was the author of the whole undertaking, the com memorative monument would intimate in a very sig nificant manner to foreigners the revere n ti a l a ff ect i on with which the people of these islands cling to each of the respective portions of the Constitution. It may be re marked, as it were, en passant, that the design in ques tion is square, the four sides being intended to contain ' bronze castings in relief to represent, first, the ex terior of th e b u i ld i ng, secondly, t h e i n terior, thirdly, the inauguration, and fourthly, the distributi on of prizes to th e ex hibi tors, each casting be i ng t w i ce the , size of those already affixed to the Nelson Testi monial. On either side of these bronzes it is pro posed to have sculptured figures in niches, emble matic in their character, while above this base will be four other figures, representing Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, and again above these a granite semblance of the globe, with a Parian marble statue of the PRINCH CONSORT upon it, enshrined in a metal gilt temple, dedicated to Fame and Prosperity, and surmounted with the royal crown of England. Flanking the whole structure it is intended that there shall be four gigantic lions couchant and slumbering, as types of the international tranquillity to which the enterprise is attributable, and which it is in like manner emi nently calculated to promote, if not to perpetuate. Altogether the design of this monument is singularly beautiful in effect, and would, if adopted, be likely to reflect credit upon the artistic skill as well as•the industrial capacities of our generation. Added to which, it would in the most effectual manner call to the remembrance of posterity the great event of 1851, that of the present Exhibition. The practical reformer must now look forward to the legislation of future years for the realization of his aspirations. There is but little prospect of any new business being carried to a succes ful termination during the present session. We cannot even venture to hope that the annual 0 /massacre of the innocents" will be dispensed with, or that the measures now under consideration will be passed in their integrity without mutilation or cur tailment. The year of the Great Exhibition will therefore be notorious as the year of legislative inac tion, and we can only hope, by increased activity during the recess and in the next session, to make up for the backslidings of that which is now rapidly ap proaching to its termination. We have however a goodly programme for the next sitting of Parliament. It is certain that measures of Parliamentary, of fiscal, and of legal reform must be brought forward by Ministers at the very commence ment of next year. Pledges have now been given that must be amply redeemed. It is essential that these should be of an extensive and comprehensive character, if the Government desire to regain the confidence of the country, and to occupy once more the position which they held in the beginning of February last. It is, perhaps, the last chance that may be afforded, and lamentable indeed will be the result if those who were once looked up to with pride should be found wanting, or let the golden opportunity slip without being turned to good purpose. A new Reform Bill will be introduced next year. The twenty years that have elapsed since the modern charter of the national liberties have clearly proved that a further concession is required, that the doc trine of finality must be solemnly repudiated. The ignominious defeats sustained on the motion of Mr. LOCKE KING and Mr. HENRY BERKELEY have opened the eyes of Ministers to the state of public opinion on the all-important questions of extension of the suffrage and protection to the voter in the exercise of his highest privilege. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has exhi bited a natural anxiety to obtain the credit of intro ducing the new Bill, and from recent indications we are inclined to hope that it may prove worthy of his quondam reputation. It will, indeed, be a glorious privilege to be permitted in 1852 to introduce a fitting successor to the Act of 1832, and to none can it be more properly intrusted tha❑ to the author of the former enactments. That it will consist of a large extension of the suffrage none can doubt who have considered the speeches of the Noble Lord during the present year. And there are other matters that will also unquestionably be included, such as the total abolition of the property qualification, and we venture to hope the tardy recognition of the principle of the ballot. Tke objections put forward by the PREMIER to the Bill of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for East Surrey, were not directed so strongly against the principle of the measure, or the assimilation of the franchise in counties and boroughs, as to the fact that it would form but a portion.of the boon which the Government was prepared to bestow on the nation, and which they were anxious to introduce in one Bill, and to obtain the entire honour of conceding. It would certainly have been received as an instal ment of justice; but, although valuable so far as it went, it would not satisfy the nation. If, then, Lord JOHN be prepared to ♦erify the sanguine anticipa tions of true reformers—to act up to the con stitutional doctrine, that there shall be "no taxation without representation," or, in other words, that every man who contributes in any degree to the liquidation of the national liabilities and the maintenance and support of the national establish ments, shall have a voice i❑ the national councils by himself or his representative, we shall willingly and freely pardon the tardiness of the concession. But it must, as we have stated, be a full measure of reform ; henceforward the want of the franchise must be the exception, and not the rule. Every man who is responsible in any degree for the support of the pauper population, who is directly assessed to the poor•rate, must have the right of bestowing his suffrage in some electoral district. Every person subject to direct taxation, by being liable for what will, we trust, in 1852, be a property, and not an income tax, should have a similar privilege and it would be exceedingly desirable if a literary test were also established, so that every person who had received a certain degree of educa- tion, and could stand a reasonable examination, should also receive the franchise. Then, indeed, there would be a motive supplied for exertion that would speedily remove the brand of ignorance from the British nation. Then, indeed, the want of the suffrage would reflect disgrace on the "political cypher," and not on the Government or the Legislature of the country. The constituencies which are mere puppets in the hands of some aristocratic patron, who can nominate the representative or representatives at his mere will and pleasure, must also be either disfranchised, or the boundaries and number of electors so largely increased, as to afford a reasonable prospect of independent representation. The days of rotten boroughs ought to have long since passed away. It was one of the professed objects of the Reform Bill to remove that anomaly, but, unfortu nately, it failed in its intended effect. It is but too ❑otorious that there are many boroughs where the will of the patron is the supreme law, and the form of an election is but " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare." The pages of "Dodd" will afford ample confirmation of this melancholy fact—the influences paramount in each of the delinquent boroughs being openly recorded in the pages of that valuable compi lation. Can such a state of affairs be permitted ? No—most unquestionably, no. But the grievance must be fairly met and boldly grappled with. No mination boroughs must not be spared; because they belong to Whig families, or because they can not be disfranchised without a similar rule being applied to Whig boroughs. An equal measure of justice must be meted out to all, and it must be made manifest that no private interests shall be suffered to prevail in a measure of such paramount public im portance. But, as we have already stated, the extension of the suffrage and the enlargement of the smaller electoral districts, will be of comparatively little advantage to the community, unless the security of private voting be accorded to each elector. Under other circum stances undue influences will still prevail, and bribery and corruption, coercion and intimidation, will be attempted in too many instances. The total silence of the PIZEMIER and his colleagues on the discussion that took place, on the motion of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Bristol for liberty to introduce a Bill, was exceedingly significant; and it is by no means improbable that " the ballot" may form a distinguishing feature of the new Parliamentary Re form Bill of 1852. The Arbitration as to the remuneration for the con veyance of the mails to be paid to the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company during the period antecedent to the com pletion of the Britannia-bridge, which has been some years pending, has at length been brought to a close. The arbitra tor on the part of the Post-office was Captain Williams, RE ; on the part of the Railway Company, Wyndham Harding, Esq. The umpire selected was J. Arthur Roebuck, Esq., M.P. The award of Captain Williams was, for the services rendered during the period before the completion of the Menai-bridge, 1100/. ; the award of the umpire, 28,0001. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION IN NORTH WALES. —The communication between Liverpool and Holyhead, by means of the electric telegraph is now complete, and in full operation, rid Chester. There requires now but the laying down of the long-projected submarine telegraph between the island of Anglesey and the sister country, fully to complete the chain of telegraphic communication between Dublin, London, and the great towns of England. It is proposed, on the completion of the South Wales Railway, to adopt the system on that line, and finally to extend it to the Pembroke shire coast. By these means both the north and south of the principality would be brought into immediate intercourse with England. TIM SHARE MARKETS BRITISH RAILW'LLTS. Railways.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales; of which 1,000 bales American were taken for export, and 500 Surat on speculation. The sales comprised 7,000 American, 150 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 61d., 100 Egyptian at sid. to 7ed., and 1,000 Surat at 21d. to 3id. per lb. The market closed heavily, and prices of all kinds were lower, and in some cases to the extent of d. per lb. Railway Shares were flit at lower rates. The Corn Market is quiet to-day. The amount of business done this week in the mer cantile markets has been large, but importers have wisely met the buyers, and at a slight reduction have freely supplied the latter. Sugar and coffee have been taken in at full prices for Mocha. Rice has been cheaper and also saltpetre. Cotton has been at lower rates. The public sales of 60,000 bales of Wool opened yester day afternoon to a lull attendance, and the prices bid were equal to those obtained at the last series. Messrs. Wilkinsen and Jewesbury report concerning the indigo auctions as follows : " The public sale of 13 888 chests has been concluded, and has been one of the flattest known for some years. Both speculators and other holders were willing sellers, and withdrew large parcels as the sale progressed, to support prices ; but the orders, both for export and home use, were very limited, particularly the latter ; consequently there has been a decline of from par to 2d. per lb. on fine Bengal (for which eompetition has been the greatest), and lull 4d. to 6d. per lb. on the lower qualities ; and when parcels were sold without reserve even a greater discount was submitted to. Kurpah of good quality has bee❑ in demand from par to 3d. lower. Good and flue Madras (which were very scarce) sold at May rates ; the inferior qualities were chiefly bought in at about 3d. per lb. discount. The high prices caused by speculation have materially decreased the demand for indigo, and it will require a still further reduction to bring the article again into largo consumption. Taking it at its lowest point in October, 1847, when prices were ruinously low, the advance has been about 2s 6,1 per lb; of that about one-half has now been lost since October last. Our stock is now 38,097 chests, which is larger than at any time since August, 1846; this may, however, in a great measure, be accounted fur by the fact of the stocks, both on the continent and in the hands of home consumers, being so far below the average. The deliveries for the first six months of this year were 11,054 chests, being smaller than at any time for the same period since 1843. Of the quantity brought for ward it is estimated that 3,002 chests are bought in, 6.530 withdrawn, and 4,356 sold, to which may be added about 700 of the bought in and withdrawn, making the total quantity sold 5,000 chests, of which 4,000 chests are for export and 1,000 for home use and re-sale. The following are the quotations, as compared with the last May sale:—Good and fine shipping par at 2d. per lb. lower; crdinary and defective ditto, 3d. to 4d.; broken and consuming, 3d. to 6d.; Madras, par at 3d.; Kurpah, par 4d. lower." The accounts received from Vienna still refer to the extraordinary improvement in the credit of the country, paper money, which a week or two since was at 32 per cent. discount, having rallied to 18 per cent. discount. It is supposed that by the co-operation of certain wealthy firms a large amount of specie has been re cently introduced into Austria, and that this has turned the tide, and prompted the country people to bring in their gold to the money-changers. The Government, too, was giving evidence of a sincere intention to retrench its expenditure, and we only hope that all this is not the prelude to the contract of a loan. It is well understood that the Austrian Government never on the last occasion obtained the money it required. The Hamburgh mail brings advices of Friday last. The rate of exchange on London was 13 3i, being steady. Funds and bares were in request, and in bills on London there were fair dealings. Coffee was with out alteiation.

During the present week, the arrivals of English W heat up to our market, coastwise, have amounted to 1,450 quarterF. Fresh up to-day the receipts of that grain by land carrieq,e were small, hence the show of samples of both red and white was very limited; never theless, as the attendance of le - ,th town and country buyers was trifling, the demand for all kinds ruled inac tive at Monday's prices. For shipment from the east coast very few transactions were reported. From abroad we have received 8 660 quarters of Wheat, chiefly from the Lower Baltic. Fine dry qualities changed hands somewhat steadily, at full quotittions; hut all other kinds were neglected. Very few floating . cargoes found buyers. We b a d a f u ll aterage s how of foreign Barley, but no English was brought forward. Grinding qualities add at full pri ces , b u t all other kinds met a dull inquiry. Malt, though in short supply, moved off slowly at low rates. There was a slight im provement in the Oat trade, and prices were fairly sup- j pored. °lntl In , The Corr. vary tittle attention.

Notwithstanding that the supply of Beasts on sale in to-day's market was very moderate and in middling con dition, the demand for that description of stock ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the vote.tione. The number of Sheep was again seasonably large. All breeds were exceedingly dull in sale, but no further de pression was submitted to in prices. The extreme value of the best Old Downs was 3s 103 per Blbs. We had a dull inquiry for Lambs, at unaltered currencies, which ruled Crum 4s to 5s per 81bs. Calves—the sup ply a which was very extensive—moved off slowly at late rates. In Pigs next to nothing was doing. Milch Cows were selling at from 141. to 18/. each, including their small Calf.

REMINISCENCES OF bTANIFORD AND NOT TINGHAM, WITH A GLANCE AT GOLDEN GOODWOOD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • SHIT—The line I drew with respect to the Stamford Gold Cup was the true ore, as Ninus, Lord Exeter's nag, and King Charming, passed the post in the exact places I awarded tbam. The distance suit-d Ninus rather better than it did Phl: , gethon and King Charming, and he won rather easily at last by a length. Phlegethoa only obtained a head the advantage of the King for the second place. Tr decision of the Nottinghamshir e Handicap in favour of Montague also confirmed ray judgineet. In No'e, No. 85, I observed that " the run of 'the money' his been principally upon .Herbert, Montague, Cocktail and Follow-me-lads ; of this quartette I feel in fined to back AIONTAGUE and Cocktail in preference to the other two." I also remarked with respect to that extensive " pot"—Follow-me-lads, that "as the absolute winner, I cannot have hint, notwithstanding the ' talent,' for the most part, are on him.' " Montie2ue laid for ward in the race almost from the start, and won, after s little persuasion, by a head! Herbert beating Cocktail a length for second honours. Thus, my fancy animals ran first and third; and three out of the four money horses occupied the three foremost places; in this, as to many other instances this year, the money turning out to be the best prognostication of the day. On the strength of his running yesterday, Montague has ad' veneer' about five points for the Goodwood Stakes, for which race, however, ha does not carry my confidence or cash either. As the most princely meeting of t he year (Goodwood) is fast apparoaching, I shall just take a slight prospective glance the spot, so far as the lead ing items of the " bill of fare" are concerned, that may be expected on the domain of tt:e Lennox in the wee* after next. The Gratwicke Stakes this year sporte thirty-seven nominations, which will make them wort h about 2,0001., destined, according to my view of the matter, to go into Lord Enfield's pocket by the aid of Hernandez, who has an allowance of 31bs; Iris, I be lieve, will be non est, and Miserrima is the only other animal that the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes will stand a remote chance of succumbing to. Among the twenty" nine entries for the Ham Stakes are to be found the po tent names of Claverhouse, Houlakin ' Harbinger, Can' terbury, The Nabob, and Father Thames; the 1 89 S named receives 61be of Houlakin, Claverhouse, and The Nabob, and 3lbs of Harbinger and Canterur, whi t : t/ may just turn the scale of tortune in his fav b our y . Should Father Thames miss the mark, I must row in the Good wood boat. For the Great 300 Sovs. Stakes six cripples have been entered, including Nutshell and William the, Conqueror; and as Nut s h e ll i s re p orte d t o b e i n " a fix," es a matter of cour se , Th e C onqueror will realise his name in this solitary instance. I should say the home-brewed productions of the Good wood stable would carry off the palm in the half mile spin for the Levant Stakes. I will touch upon Wed nesday's and two following days races to-morrow. The betting this morning 7 is by no manner of means of th e briskest dr scription.

The magnificent opera II Prodigo was repeated her o last evening, by special desire, on which occasion her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the performanc e with their presence. Nothing could be more perfect than the rendering of Auber's most characteristic music by orchestra and choruses. Sontag was in excellelit voice, and sang di v i ne ly ; an d M assol ' a ac ting and singing as Reuben, were superb. The PO; cessions, and dancing, a n d s p ectac l e , i n t h e second and third act surpass in gorgeousness anything that has ever been before attempted, and th e , dancing of Caroli na R osat i an d her atten d a nt AIELO-s is of the most graceful and fascinating charae' ter. The Poignard dance is a perfect marvel of choero graphic art.

SECONDARIES'.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) MANN V. CARTER. This was au action to recover the sum of 6/. 14s. 3d., for wages. Mr. DUNCAN appeared for the plaintiff, who is a jour neyman plasterer, and the demand was fur extra hours, at 6d. per hour. There was no interest in the facts, but de&ndant's attorney said that had the action been brought in the County Court his client could have proved payment and set off, but as it was he was debarred, as the plea was only one of general issue. He would, how ever, apply to a judge to deprive the plaintiff of costs. Verdict for the amount claimed. This was the only ea , e trip d. APDOUGAL'S TARTAINS.—Mr. Donald M'Dougal, one of the most enterprising men of an enterprising race, to whom may be attributed the introduction of tweeds and tartans as ordinary articles of, at least, English apparel, and whose beautiful specimens of these articles, exhibited in London at the Exhibition, have been the admired of all observers, has recently added largely to his manufactured stock of tartans at his ware house .n Inverness. We strongly recommend all tourists in the Highlands, whetner sportsmen, antiquarians, or plea sure-seekers, to visit when at Inverness the royal tartan warehouse of the manufacturer of tartans to the Queen and Royal Family. As an exhibition of one of the most impor tant products of British industry, it is well worth a visit, and those who ascend the mountains or traverse the moors, or cross the lakes of Caledonia, would do well to clothe themselves in the damp-defying fabric the tartan. MUSICAL FETE AT MULGRAVE HOUSE —Yester day, by the liberality of Viscount Ranelagh, the military musical festival lately held in the Gardens of Chelsea Hos pital was repeated in the grounds of Mulgrave House, on the banks of the river, between Parson's-green and Fulham. The bands of the six Household regiments, with that of the Royal Artillery, played in concert overtures and selections from the Camp of .Nilesia, Le Prophete, and other favourite compo sitions, with great effect. The company was rather select than numerous, owing in part to the clouded sky of the early afternoon. The committee of the Hospital for Consumption are anxious by these entertainments to raise funds sufficient, so that the works already co , i , menced for building the east wing of the insti utiou may be carried on without delay to ' their completion. THE DIETROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY COMMlT TEL—Yesterday Mr. Sergeant Wrangham opened the case for the companies in a long and able speech, with which the Learned Counsel had only progressed half way when the Committee rose, to re-assemble this day at twelve. THE GREAT CHES. TOURNAMENT.—According to agreement, Messrs. Staunton and Williams sat down onWed nesday morning to play their seventh, and, it was expected, concluding game. They commenced playing at eleven o'clock A.M., and at ten P.M. the game was yet undecided. Yesterday morning the players renewed the contest, and, after four hours' more play, the game was drawn. Mr. Wil liams, we believe, had at one period a winning position, but a somewhat weak move of his—very excusable, considering the exhausting length of the contest—was immediately taken advantage of by his antagonist, who, by sacrificing a piece, obtained the power of giving perpetual check and drawing the game. They are to play again on Monday next. Mr. Staunton has challenged Herr Anderssen, the winner of the first prize, to play a match of twenty-one games for a hun dred pounds. Herr Anderssen, as we are told, accepts, on condition that, as he is obliged within a short time to return to his duties in Germany, they shall play five days in the week; and that either player failing to attend without suffi cient cause, shall be considered to have lost a game. _ - THE CHINESE JUNK.—Last evening we as sisted, to use the French term, at the grand Chinese fes tiv-.1 on board the Keying, near the Essex -street pier, and in justice we must say we were highly pleased with the whole of the performance. The scene on board was brilliant in the extreme, the immense junk being illuminated from stem to stern with thousands of variegated lamps and a great variety of Chinese lanterns, which gave the whole a most unique appearance. The entertainments consisted of a variety of Chinese performances, vocal and instrumental, also the mode of attack and defence adopted in the flowery land ; the whole concluded with a ball on deck in our own style, conducted by Mr. H. Cooper, an d ac companied by an excellent band under th e direction of Mr. Harroway. We recommend all those who wish to pass a delightful evening to visit the junk and spend a night with the Chinese.
