Mr. Walter presents his compliments to the editor of ail Times, and begs to enclose a copy of a letter which he has addressed to the secretary of the Con servative Club, which be trusts the editor will have the goodness to publish. 40, Upper Grosvenor-street, May 16, 1851. 40, Upper Grosvenor-street, May 16, 1851. " Sir,—My attention has been called to a paragraph in the Mending Herald of Wednesday last, in which it is stated that • at a very numerous meeting of the Con servative Club, oa Monday, two gentlemen, one of them a distinguished member of the bar, were requested by an immense majority, taken by ballot, to retire from the club, on the purely political grounds that, in the estimation of the voters, the gentlemen referred to bad cussed to be Conservatives as the term is understood by the club.' " Although personally unknown to either of the gen tlemen who have been thus summarily expelled from this Fociety, I cannot but feel interested in a proceeding which threatens the independence of every member of the club, and exposes them to a similar indignity, at the mere will of an arbitrary majority. "In what sense the term Conservative' is ' under stood by the club' I know not; but I would suggest that the majority who have excommunicated Mr. Bethell and Mr. Tindal for political heresy ought in fairness to publish their terticles of faith in terms so explicit as to leave no doubt in the minds of future candidates for admission as to the doctrines to which they tiro ex pected to subscribe. Unless Conservatism and core laws be convertible terms, which I own I never under stood them to be, I am at a loss to discover what these two gentlemen have done to merit the treatment they have received. " Under these circumstances, believing myself to be a Conservative in the truest sense of the word, yet not choosing to place my political character in the power of a majority who may understand the term in a different sense, I beg to withdraw my name from the list of mem bers of the Conservative Club. _ " I have the honour to remain, Sir, " Your most obedient Nervant, "JOHN WALTER." FILL OF A NEW BUILDING IN GRACECHUIICII STREET. -bREADFUL LOSS OF LlFE.—This morning, about a quarter before eleven o'clock, the inhabitants orGrace church-street were alrmed by a sudden crash, similar to a peal of thunder, accompanied by an immense cloud of dust. As soon as the atmosphere got a little clear, it was ascer tained from the cries and groans of the workmen that the iron roof of a new building, intended for commercial cham bers, had fallen in, burying beneath the debris a number of workmen who were employed on the premises. At present it is impossible to ascertain the exact number who have been entombed, but the lowest accounts state that there are now twelve or fourteen under the ruins, and two dead bodies have been already taken out, with three in almost a lifeless state. Workmen of all descriptions are busily engaged in removing the rubbish. The building is numbered 17, Gracechurch street, and extends backwards to George-yard, Lombard street. The back of the premises is the portion that has given way. If the street wall had fallen, the loss of life would have been fearful. At twelve o'clock another body had been recovered, and an additional gang of hands have been put on. A strong body of police are on duty, and the remaining walls are being secured. GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY.— Yesterday this Committee, consisting of Mr. B. Denison (chairman), Mr. Matheson, Mr. Monsell, Mr. Jackson, and Mr. B. Cochrane, re-assemble-l. Alter considerable delibera tion the Committeedeeided on granting the City companies a locus. Mr. Talbot, Q.O ,on their behalf, in a long address, called on the Committee to dismiss the Bill, on the ground, amongst others, that the promoters of the undertaking had, by obtaining the consent of the Commissioners of Sewers, already become a self-constituted company, and had in fact gone to work and established themselves without Parliamen tary sanction, which was now only sought for the purpose of obtaining limited liability, which without an act of incorpo ration they could not possess. The room having been cleared, after the lapse of half an hour the public were re-admitted, and the Committee declared the preamble of the Bill proved. IMMENSE BROCCOLI.—A broccoli was brought to our office this week weighing about twenty pounds. The monster was grown by Mr. W. Francis, of Penybank, near Caerleon, who has several of the same size still in the ground, some of which he purposes exhibiting as " extra stock" at the forthcoming Newport Horticultural Show.-11/onmouth shire Merlin. PUBLIC DINNER TO MR. CHARLES Fox AND MR. PArrox.—We have much pleasure in announcing that it is the intention of the gentlemen of Derby and its vicinity to invite our townsman, Mr. Charles Fox, the builder of the Crystal Palace, and Mr. Paxton, the designer of it, to a public dinner to be held in Derby a few weeks hence. It is a great honour to our town and county that the two gentle men who have been mainly instrumental in contributing to the success of the Great Exhibition are so nearly allied to us ; and we rejoice that it has bean determined to pay them a public mark of respect.—Derby Reporter. fe, FATAL ACCIDENT AT FOLKESTONE.—On Thursday morning, about eleven o'clock, as a poor fisherman of the name of Joseph Eastwick was proceeding along the east cliff, he was precipitated into the sea. Death must have been instantaneous, as, when picked up two hours afterwards, by a fishing-boat, his neck was found dislocated. The de ceased was subject to fits. True sensibility leads us to overcome our own feel ings for the good of others.—Eliza Cook's Journal. The annual regatta at Isleworth will take place in the Kcond week of June, under the immediate patronage of the Duke of Northumberland. Prizes will be given for four oared, pair -oared, arid scullers' matches. TIIE POISONING CASE NEAR .MOTTRAIII.—The in quest on view cf the bodies of Sarah Ann Barcroft and Ellen Mills was resumed on Wednesday afternoon by Mr. Hudson. Several additional witnesses were examined. After consulting for forty minutes the jury returned a ver dict of "Wilful Murder" Against Jonathan Barcroft. The wife was di,charwed, and the coroner is!itted his warrant for the committal of the man to Chester Castle. He is about twenty-six years of age; his wife some years younger, and of rather prepossessing appearance. She appeared to be i❑ the greatest distress of mind. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—Yesterday a commi'sion de lunatico inquircndo was open e d b e f ore M r . C om missioner t a i i ng j u t r h o e r s, mentalat t the c e s W o u i n t s h l a o l w l an Middle w s • e e l :!c t , y r e s s p p e e c e i Elizabeth Lucy Ronalds, late of Islewo r th, b u t now an in mate of Dr. Danietl's asylum, Southall Park,aged 4' of the late Dr. Rorsalds, an eminent physician of Coventry, a lady possessed of at , out 2,000/. per annum. The Learned Commissioner, in charging the jury, stated that the Commis sion had i , sued at the instance of the children of the unfor tunate lady. The utmost sympathy was evinced by the jury, who expressed a wish that her desire to reside with her children should be complied with, and returned a verdict, dating her insanity from June 15, 1849. ANOTHER. SPEECH FROM MR. DRUMMOND—We understand that should Mr. Henry Drummond be fortunate enough to catch the eye of the Speaker, he intends making another speech in the same strain as the last. With the view of making an effective display of anti-Popish feeling, the Hon. Gentleman has, we are told, crammed himself with facts and incidents not easily accessible to the generality of Protestant readers. — Advertiser. THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Some few instances have come under the experience of our reporter where errors in classification have arisen, and which, if not carefully looked to by the jurors, are very likely to cause ause much vexation and disappointment. So palpable are eof these that they ought to speak for themselves, but there others, from their nature, as certain to be overlooked if not remedied at once. One, for example, is "No. 100 A, W. Mason and Co., Honey lane, class 12, printed cashmeres, &c.," which clearly ought to be under Class 18, woven and printed fabrics." We point this out in passing, because these goods are really pro nounced by the ,most competent judges to be as fine speci mens of printing as could be produced, and quite equal to anything in the class from which they have been so singularly tad Globe. gene,ittiteerna,...e}an•ln Miss Catherine Hayes, our English' prima donna, Ernst an g c u l i: ret a h b r o e u n t to cross the Atlantic, and to pay our American gives one a a visit.

(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) RAPE.—John M'Laren, aged 48, described as a shoe maker, was indicted tor committing a rape on Rosins Jane M'Laren, his own daughter. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner. The details of the case wore unfit for publication, but the medical testimony failed to support that of the girl, and the jury acquitted the prisoner. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) BURGLARY.—joshua Smith, aged 21, described tl5 hawker, was indicted fcr feloniously breaking and enter ing the warehouse of Josiah Lowe, and stealing there from six coats value 31, and other goods, also divers moneys, amounting in the whole to 10/., his property. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Huddlestone de , . fended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of a girl named Harriet • - Ball, with whom the prisoner had cohabited, that one morning in the beginning of April the prisoner forced 'her to get up between four and five and go with him to a place in Whitechapel. When they reached the spot the prisoner desired her Co stand at the top of a court, while he went down and fetched some things. She accordingly did so, but she kept her eye upon the prisoner until she saw him get over a high wall. He was absent tor about ten minutes, and when he returned he brought with him a bundle of Boats and three pair of trowsers. They then returned 'home, and in the course of the day all the property was disposed of with the exception of a pair of trowsers,which 'the prisoner had altered to fit himself. These trowsers she subsequently pawned, and when the prisoner turned her out of doors she gave information of the robbery to the police, and gave them the address of the pawn broker where she pledged the trowsers. The witness is her cross-examination denied that the prisoner turned her out of doors because she had hem false to him, but it was because be wanted to get mar ried to somebody else. She had been on the streets, and the prisoner had participated in the proceeds of her prostitution. On one occasion she robbed a sailor and was imprisoned six months for it. On another she be came so disgusted with her mode of life, that she took to shop-lifting, and for one offence of this nature she had suffered three months' imprisonment. She had been fined 105. for breaking a woman's head while in a state . of intoxication, and had been repeatedly accused, but never convicted of other robberies. Several of the pri loner's companions as well as her own had been trans. ported, and the prisoner, who was tried with one of Them was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. • The other evidence went to show that the prisoner be longed to a notorious gang of cracksmen, and when his lodgings were searched a large quantity of housebreak ing implements were found concealed there. None of the property but the pair of trowsers pledged by the girl had een traced, but a knife which the prisoner left behind him when he committed the burglary was produced and identified as having been in the prisoner's possession. Mr. HUDDLESToNE addressed the jury for the defence, contending that the evidence of the girl was unworthy of belief, and therefore the prisoner ought to be ac _ quitted. The Learned RECORDER summed up. The jury retired, and after some time returned into court with a verdict of Not Guilty. RAMBLES in the CRYSTAL PALACE (THIS DAY.) The receipts of yesterday at the Crystal Palace amounted to 3 2501., of which 6761. was from the sale of season tickets, and the remainder, 2,5541., from the ,ss, fee for admittance. The continued eale of season tickets is a result which we have always anticipated, since the first 'view of the Exhibition is quite sufficient to convince any one that a doz,n visits will not suffice for a satisfactory nista ction, and for all who may be able to visit it so frequently, a dozen visits will have found out long ago that a season ticket is by far the cheapest method of going to work. We confess that we do not share in the anticipation that inconvenience, at any rate considerable, will result from the over-crowding of the place even during the shilling season; but it would still be well if some provision were insti tuted to prevent the admission of more visitors than would allow perfect freedom of locomo tion from one department to another. Even! now, at some hours of the day in the transept and some parts of the nave it difficult to move along Put a proportion of the present ,class of visitors flock to the Crystal Palace as an afternoon lounge, and scarcely think of penetrating beyond the transept and the main avenues ; these, of course, will not be there on the shilling days, and, altogether, we may assume that the mass of visitors will be more equally spread over the building than at the present. Neither do we consider that the full powers of the building have yet been tested, since a consid era bl e portion of the foreign de partments, especially in the rear—the galleries, do not yet admit visitors. Whatever arrangements are to be m ade, however, must be done speedily, there remains but a short time b efo re the crowding may bexpected. In Section 22, N o . 265, we noticed several large spe cimens exhibited, by M. Felix Abate, o f two entirely e n e w processes for prin t ing 01 : 1 , and ot h erw i se orna menting, inscriptionsr metallic sur f a ces. The first an c t rboy chymical process ; the l ewd of elect ricity, developed the contact of some met als with the saline solutions others, are here app lied to p roduce or bright ornaments , with a dark ground on metallic sheets, bars , or tubes, thus opening an nti of ely now field to the art of printing, and an endle ss variety of useful applications in the manufacture of metallic wares. The other process is chymical, and produces, through the application of metallic colours, similar but still more striking effects. Both the processes are re mark able for cheapness and facility of execution. The same exhibitor has also produced three machines, with specimens executed by these machines, for smooth ing, planing, burnishing , arid ornamenting king metallic sheets,. bars, and tubes, and a lso for =soot and polishing sheets of glass, Ind o: wool for veneering purposes. All these effects are produc ed instantaneously, and with astonishing perfection. A bookcase, by the Messrs. Islollands, upholsterers, of Maryleborte-street, intended to term the entire side of a library. It is about twenty-five feet in length, and between thirteen and fourteen in height. In the centre is an aperture for a chimney-piece, the embellishments of which appear to be Perzance marble, but the entire absence of polish renders it difficult to speak with cer tainty. The wood is walnut-tree, but the details of the carving are far from being admirably wrought, and the dingy appearance of the walnut wool gives to the whole a very gloomy aspect. Its ponderous size has nothing to enliven it. Narrow slips of green marble, introduced as panelling, we presume are to represent malachite. In place of the original they would be much better omitted. In spite of the gilded perforations in two of the largest panels, the contrast is not sufficiently power ful to give any richness or colour to the general clumsy effect, which is dismal and funereal throughout. A bad specimen in the Italian style! TELEGRAPHING AT SEA —Dempster's new equilateral triangular telegraph is now in a complete working shape in the Great Exhibition. In the catalogue it is mentioned under the head of " Naval Architecture, Class 8, No. 313." The advantages claimed by the author of this invention May make the eons 9t the Ocean put on THE their considering caps. The telzgraph stands on the south gallery, east end of the building, beside the flag staff. There is a large map with drawings, plainly showing that with four flags—white, red, blue, and yellow—the twenty-Eight characters of the alphabet are fully sym bolized upon an entirely new principle of changieg colours, and to appearance there is never more than time flag heisted to the mast-head at a time. This experi ment. Mr. Dempster pre-:Lica:ly demonstrates in the Great Exhibition as being a decided improvement upon all other flag telegraphs for showing numbers or letters during light winds, or calms, &e. Besides the map there is a small printed volume suspended to a brass chain. This volume contains Mr. Dempster's intro duction to the ttlegraph, with rules and examples for the vocabulary, &c. Some general information on the subject of fishery improvements appears also in its pager. The questions and answers, sentences, &c., are under an alphabetical arrangement. The numbers to cor respond with the sentences are also made out upon an entirely new principle. In Mr. Dempster's introduc tion to telegraphs he plainly shows that with four car dinal flags—white, red, blue, and yellow,and four distin guishing pendants (eight flogs in all), he can commence with No. 1, and proceed up the scale in an unbroken chain of numbers until he arrives at 128 576. More than this might easily bo obtained by a slight varia tion, but as such a quantity of numbers is considered sufficient for any marine vocabulary or dictionary, and as the 128,576 numbers are derived in a clear, correct, scientific, end uniform principle, Mr. Dempster has ceased his labours from ringing any more changes. In most other signal books extant all numbers where more figures than one of the same sort occur are passed alto gether; this Mr. Dempster does not consider a reientific arrangement.

The report, which was read by Mr. J. Murray, the secretary, stated, inter alia, that the income, as in the preceding year, amounted to 1,6351. ss. 7d., and the directors had the gratification to announce that 101. 10s. had been given to the asso ciation by Mr. John Jaques ,• 5/. ss. by the Principal of Staples Inn ; 5/. ss. by Mr. J. G. Hough ; 11. ls. by Mr. H. P. Bird ; and 21. 2s. annually by the widow of Mr. Michael Clayton. The Master of the Rolls, arid his 'Honour Vice-Chancellor Turner, had both consented to become vice-presidents of the association. No new case of the primary class had come before the board during the past year ; whilst, on the other hand, one of the claimants, on her marriage, voluntarily resigned all claim on the funds. The outlay in this branch of relief has. been this year 9851.1 being less than in the preceding year. The sum voted at the last annual meeting for the benefit of the widows and families of persons who had been, or who had ceased to be, subscribers to the society, was 2001., being 50/. more than the grant for the previous year. Relief had also been afforded to six other cases, and there is now a ba lance of only 181., which consequently falls into the general fund of the association. The directors hoped that a similar grant for the next year would relieve them from the painful nessity of rejecting applications, which they cannot but think the subscribers in general would be willing to include amongst the objects of their benevolence, but which cannot receive much attention if this find be much under 2001. During the year, notwithstanding the issuing of an address at its commencement, only seventeen new members had been obtained. Since the last meeting 2001. had been purchased in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., thereby increasing the funded property to 10,8001. in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., and 104001. in the Three per Cents. Reduced. The report having been adopted, the vice-presidents and other officers were elected, and a vote of thanks to the chair man closed the proceedings. ANOTHER ROBBERY AT THE GREAT EXHIBITION.— Yesterday, a second robbery in the Exhibition building was reported. The article now stolen is a lady's dagger of a very unique description.. It is only six inches long, in the form of a cross, having steel blade, ivory handle, and silver cross ornamenting it, and enclosed in a purple case. The property was seen safe shortly before ten, and at a quarter past it was found missing. Immediately the loss was made known at all the entrances, and extra constables stationed, in order to catch the guilty - party; they, however, got clear away. M. MAzzlNl.—The manifesto to the revolutionary committee in London, which has been going the round of the Paris and London journals as emanating from M. Maz zini, has been denied by that gentleman. ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICH, MAY tain Mundy's company, 6th battalion, embarked at Roff wharf this morning in one of the Woolwich steam-vessels, for conveyance to Sheerness, to be stationed there. Forty ' seven gunners and two buglers embarked at the same time 'to fill up the three companies removed from Chatham to Sheerness today. It is expected that an additional com pany will be stationed at the Tower, and at Portsmouth and Sheerness, on the arrival of the three companies ordered home from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Canada. DOVER, SATURDAY, 2.10 A.M.—Their Roval High nesses tie Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg, Prince Lei ningen, and the Duke of Wurtemburg and suite, arrived at Dover from Calais at 12 30 A.M. in her Majesty's packet Garland, Captain Wylde. They were received on landing by Mr. James M`Gregor, chairman of the South-Eastern Rail way, and will leave Dover for London per special train at 10 A.M. • -- --- ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A DAUGHTER.—A named Robert Carpenter, and Louisa, his wife, were ex amined before the magistrates at Bristol yesterday, upon a charge of cruelty towards Christina Carpenter, a girl sixteen years of age, the daughter of the male prisoner by a former wife. The evidence of the girl, whose body was in a wretched state from debility and sores, was to the effect that she had been confined in a small room up stairs for a period of three months, till at last she made her escape; that sufficient food was not given liar, and that both the prisoners, particularly the female, had severely beaten her. After a lengthened in quiry, the case was adjourned. We understand that a fine dish of green peas was gathered from the garden of W. Came, 'Esq., of Ellenglaze "louse, on Wednesday last.—Royal Cornwall Gazette. We believe that the office of Clerk of the Crown, about to be vacated by Lord Cottenham, is to be filled up by the appointment of C. J. Tindal, Esq., son of the late much respected Lord Chief Justice. Mn. GROOM'S COLLECTION OF TULIPS.—The friends and patrons of Mr. Groom, the florist at Clapham rise, were in the course of yesterday afternoon admitted to a priyate view of his tulip show. The exhibition was one of great interest and astonishing variety, no less than 2,000 roots of the finest specimens of the tulip being displayed under an awning measuring 156 feet in length. Among these flowers we observed some specimens of those tulips which amateurs set such store by, for instance, the Victoria Regina, Prince of Wales, Duke of Norfolk, Nourri Effendi, Adtlison, Catalani, Marshalt Dr. Horner, and many new combinations of colour and shape, none of which have as yet been introduced to public notice. The impression produced by so many and such exquisitely timed flowers was most pleasing, and Mr. Groom's exhibition is most in teresting. AMERICAN SLAVERY.—The Temperance Demon stration Committee have unanimously passed the following resolution :—" That while this committee desire to cherish the most friendly feelings and to exercise all the require ments of fraternal and Christian hospitality towards any advocates of temperance from America who may visit this country, they feel it to be their imperative duty not to wel come to their platforms, or to any conference which may be held on the subject of temperance, any minister of religion or other gentleman, whatever may be his reputation in his own country, who hesitates to avow his abhorrence of slavery, and his earnest desire for its abolition, or who acts under the influence of the unnatural prejudice against the coloured portion of the population." THE LATE THUNDER SToßMs.—Last week, during a violent thunder storm in Essex, several labourers at Dengie took refuge by the side of some mustard straw. Alarmed by the vivid play of the lightning over the straw, five of the men quitted the spot ; one, who lingered behind, was instantly struck dead. At Edinburgh, just as a wedding party were about to enter a drawing-room, a flash of light ning struck the chimney, passed through the room, and broke its way out through the window. If any of the party had been in the room it is supposed there would have been loss of life. On the 24th ult. a thunder storm broke over Upwell, Lincolnshire. The lightning set fire to a mill, and killed a labourer. On the same day, at 13arroseby, a fine old ash tree was struck, the bark peeled off from top to bottom, and two or three divisions made through the trunk. A farm bonne at Norton, in Gloucestershire, was struck by lightning on Wednesday week, and considerable damage was done. The inmates fortunately escaped. Among other freaks, the electric fluid effectually swept the chimney. TUE WINDOW-TAX.—The Board of Stamps and Taxes have issued instructions to the assessors throughout the country, din cling them not to make any assessment of the window-duties for the current year. These instructions amount to a repeal of the tax, commencing from the sth of April last. LEICESTER TRADE.---NO material alteration from last week can be reported in the state of trade. S hi pping orders to s ome extent have been received ; but these in a large measure have been met by the stocks on hand—SO that the amount of employment remains abcut the same. LITERATURE. STUART OF DUNLEATH. By the Hon. Mrs. Norton. 3 Vols. Colbirn. " The power of writing," eays Mrs. Norton, in her preface, has always been to me a source of intense pleasure ; it has been my real solace in hours of gloom, and the name I have earned, as an author, in my native land is the only happy boast of my life. That happiness and that boast will be more than ever justified and augmented by the publication of this work. " Stuart of Dunleath," although one of the most mournful, is one of the most beautiful, the most enthralling, and the most tenderly pathetic stories that we have read for years. Many novel readers may, perhaps, find fault with it as "too me lancholy," hut all who have experienced real emotion, all who have truly loved and truly suffered—and the terms are to some extent synonymous—will find their hearts irresistibly moved and their deepest sympathies enkindled by the sad, sweet story of the gentle, loving, unbeloved Eleanor Raymond, narrated as it is in the most natural and fascinating manner imagi nable. The effect produced by the revelation at the close of the first volume is most powerful and most admirably managed. We must confess that, habi tuated to novel-reading as we are, and hence unfortu nately apt to guess the denouement of a story, long before it arrives, we were as completely taken by sur prise as Eleanor herself when she read the letter of her guardian, the unhappy and unstable Stuart of Dunleath. ‘Ve are loath to say a word that may hint at the nature of that revelation, which would be doing injustice alike to the readers of the novel and to the very successful authoress of its skil fully arranged story. Yet this dramatic effect is only one of the may excellent characteristics of "Stuart of Dunleath." Its greatest charm, perhaps, is the natural and beautiful development of the character and history of Eleanor—she is the centre of interest and attraction, throughout accompanied continually by the sorrowing sympathy of the reader. Stuart himself is enother illustration of tint too-often justified prophecy, " unstable as water, thou shalt not excel." During a considerable part of the narrative, seeing him as Eleanor sees him, believing him what Eleanor believes him, we follow him with interest and regard, but by the close of the third volume the moral purpose of the tale has made itself felt, and we re cognise the success with which Mrs. Norton has ful filled the intention alluded to in the dedication (ad dressed to the Queen of the Netherlands). " Hold ing as I do," she says, "that that power (the power of writing as she can write) entails a certain responsibility, I have not ventured to present to my countrymen or to offer to your Majesty a mere ro mance—the weaving of idle thoughts to amuse idle hours. I have endeavoured at least to write with a distinct purpose, to illustrate the working of particular faults on our own destinies and the destinies of others, and at the same time to uphold a wider toleration than we are generally willing to accord to those defects which do not exist in ourselves." The powerful effect produced by cur faults on our own destinies and on the destinies of others, is fully demonstrated in the sad eventful history of Eleanor and the unstable Stuart, while the beautiful virtue of toleration is most exquisitely set forth in the example and teaching of Lady Margaret Fordyce, one of the most charming loveable creatures that ever cast sun shine over the pages of a novel, diffusing gladness around her. one extract can suffice to do justice to Margaret, and there is something so infec tious in the very character of her goodness, that instead of attempting to describe her here, we recommend all who love sunshine at home as well as abroad, a sweet temper as well as a sweet voice, beauty of character as well as beauty of face, to make acquaintance with Margaret, who combines all these charms, and having seen her, not only to ad mire, but to go and do likewise. " Popular she was to her heart's content. From her brother Lanark, who simply thought there had been nothing like her since Eva was presented to Adam in Paradise, to the chance acquaintance who had the good luck to sit by her at dinner the day before, a unanimous vote was always given in her favour. Taut sweet cordiality of her manner had no forwardness in it, and was balanced by a certain stateliness and dignity, hereditary and natural, while her perfect temper, active kindliness, sincere and unostentatious piety, increased to love the admiration already inspired by her gaiety, ac complishment, and beauty." Although e xample is always more effective than exhortation, we m u s t g ive Ladyof Margaret's eloquent vindication • of a specimen her favourite virtue— TOLERATION. " I believe not only every one has faults, but every one has some great leading and especial fault; and as long as that fault is neither a very mean, nor a very atrocious one—as long as I believe they do their best to balance their imperfect nature by such good as lies in their power, I am as ready to respect and love them as if my reason were a mole, and had no eyes to spy out their imperfections." " Well, I am not." " $o it seems ; but does it never strike yon, — that while you have no patience with one man because he is stingy, another because he is extravagant, a third be cause he is presumptuous, that there may bo something in your own nature that makes them equally impatient? To exchange indulgence with, fault for fault, would be best, don't you think ?" " I think, that in condemning where I see reason to condemn, I merely follow the principles of religion, and the dictates of common sense." reader of the Scriptures, b u t they ca nno t be e r that in te;:eotattn. In o religion, Mr. Marsden: you aro a great all the history of our Saviour, there is not one wrathful sentence—not one speech of condem nation. He had sympathy an d c o m p ass i on f or a ll h umaa infirmities; for sorrow, for s i c kne ss , even f or re p en t an t sin. lie went about heali ng an d p ar d on i ng . Wh e th er it was Jairus wailing ov er hi s littl e d aug h ter , or L azarus ' sisters weeping by a broth er ' s t om b, or t h e l ame b eggar who vainly struggled t o t h e bl esse d poo l f or cure; t h e gentle Jesus felt for all. Th e l as t bi tter moments h e spent on earth, hangin g i n torture on the cross, were spent in speaking comf or t t o th e pen i tent th i ef. T here is nothing recorded aftsr that, but bis ex"lam a tion in the death-pang. Oh! if ev er a l esson o f i n d u l gence cou ld b e taught to man, surely we might learn it th e r e ! Even to those who deny tmd doubt the divinity o f Ch r i s t, his life must seem one gr ea t an d comp l ete em bl em o f universal toleration!" Excellent as it is,Ais extract convey s b u t a p oo r idea of the chArtning style an d f asc i nat i ng in terest of " Stuart of Danleath." Th e most beau tiful portions are perhaps those passa ges o f m i ng l e d tenderness and pathos in whi c h th e h eart - tr i a l s o f Elrannr, her love for her child ren , an d th e i r sa d f ates are recorded. The descriptions o f th ese i n fa nts cou ld only have been wr4ten by one fully cogn i sant o f t h e o io f depth and tenderness of a mother's love. The cha racter of Eleanor would have been more perfect if, at the close of the story, she had returned to Penrhyn, and sae would then have more literally obeyed the favcurite maxim 'of the noble-hearted Margaret— " Fais cc quo clots; advienne qua pourra." With this reservation., : we cordially commend " Stuart of Dunleath" to thelovers of the beautiful portraiture of natural ernotions,,warning them, however, that in its pages • so rrow predominates over j o y, and that during its perusal their sympathy will be evoked more fre quently than their smiles. THE DREAMER AND THE WORKER. By B. 11. Horne, author of "Orion." 2 lois. Colburn. The author of " Orion" has here taken up his pen in a cause well deserving of the ability and earnest ness with which he advocates it. While illustrating the peculiar characteristics and distinctions of a D rea mer and Worker," Mr. Horne's ultimate ob ject is to demonstrate the individual importance of each. The eye and the hand are no less equally essential to the artist than are both dreamers and ainr cr workers ,noym peent to the t te h ef eoarrmywithout a general, are similarly any practicable ra c t commonweal.ie ab A l e generalgood. o o d . By mu tualan of the „ dreamer and the worker, h no things of the one obtai n a tangible reality , and the mater ial labours of the other are r educed to fairer p ro p ortions and di rected to higher a ims. In this endeavour to a w ar d te co , : o a p ir e y ration the honour due alike to the toiling brain and the toil ing band, Mr. Horse has our cordial sympathy ; but his task does not end here. In his admirable por trait of H ar ding,theper w s e eve a ri r n e g, re s m el ie f- de tea d chi t n h g a , t self dependentthe labourer, worker, honourable though his lot, as such, may be, is by no means to rest content with being only a worker. His heart and intellect are not to be waste because his hand is cunningly instructed. In the ex ample of Harding it is shown how moral and mental culture, instead of , raising th e wor k man " above his station, and makin g hiss " un fitwhile advocating with energy th e va l ue o and laborious for his position,', as the sayin g goes , only render him mo re aware of the true dignity of labour, and more zea lous in the p e rformance of its duties. So, m au o t n ho s rr a s n e xiously desir es , " to put beauty i n t o hi s encourages him in hi s l e i sure e c u om rit, as os f übe happily e, handiwork h p ia l p, a o i p n oi ltf yhpi Harding, expressesaa e c r nd t di c n a bg l hours not to seek practical knowledge only, but even to read poetry. It may 2 be objected that all working men are not so well adapted as Hard ing to receive such instruction, but the principle laid down in his case will bear a wide application. While Harding is a " worker" and something more, Archer is purely and solely an inhabitant of Dream land ; and here we think Mr. Horne has not suffi ciently pointed out the via media that should to a certein extent assimilate those opposite characters. While the " worker" as a man is entitled to the intel ligent pleasures of humanity, so the "dreamer," on the other hand, and by the same law, mint to some ex tent become a partaker in the labours enjoined upon humanity. It is as incumbent upon him to give the world the benefit of his dreams as it is to the work man to give the labour of his hands. Some advice of this kind is very forcibly addressed to Archer by a brother dreamer, in which he, desponding became disappointed, is enjoined not to relapse into idleness because immediate success is denied to his MA Y l7, 1851. labours. The remarks on this subject are well ; worthy of consideration, but their application is not I sufficiently carried out in the character of Archer. Although we heartilt respond to the E entiment with which Mr. Horne sets forth, and are fully prepared to admit the worth and social utility of both dreamers and workers; we can hardly think his examples so good as his sentiment ; for dreamy, do-nothing Archers, such as he has depicted, are little likely to do the atate much service, and the social value of a dozen such would be insignificant by tiiB side of one resolute, energetic, persevering Harding. Yet, if in this solitary instance the moral of the work is not enforced quite so effectively as it might be, the very story of Archer and Hard ing carries its own lesson, and dreamers and workers will both consult with profit the conclusive reasoning and encouraging advice so abundantly to be met with in these pages. Tne idea of the " unseen city" of poverty arid sorrow, hid by the palaces, and parks, and stately mansions of a great town, is beautifully and feelingly set forth and carried out by the hearty sympathy of the Working Harding, and the poetic fancy of the Dreaming Archer, for which see the second volume of "The Dreamer and Worker." We have said nothing of the story itself, but it, too, has its moral, and very happily exhibits the folly of any life long companionship being entered into by persons of incompatible tastes and feelings. The good and sen sible Mary, the first betrothed of Archer, will divide with the more fascinating Ellen the sympathy and admiration of the reader. CHRISTOPHER TADPOLE. Part VII. The present number of the re-issue of this glori ously comic tale contains the visit of the Gudges to Venice, and the act of brigandage perpetrated on the amiable Mrs. Hamper by the free-and-easy gentry of the Apennines. THE GOLD-DUST ROBBERY. William Panspiin, the person who has been appre hended at Winchester on the charge of being concerned in the gold-dust feathery, and who was remanded asst !Neel, was again brought up, yesterday, before the Mayor end magistrates of Winchester. Mr. Crombite the solicitor, attended to prosetml . e cn behalf of the Souih-Western Railway Company, and a London solicitor attended en behalf of the prisoner. The first witnecs called was a porter at the Win chester Railway station, who deposed that the prisoner came to the station at about a quarter-past 11 last Thursday night, some time after the luggage train, from which the gold-dust wes stolen, had passed, and asked • what time the next train started. He had a package under each arm, and appeared by his staggering walk to be in liquor. He (thew itness) went, shortly after wards to the Eagle public-house, near the station, for a • glass of beer. While he was there b e saw the pr i soner go into the tap-meta, and he followed, to make sure P was the same man he had seen at the station, since the prisoner did not appear to be so drunk in the tap-room as when seen previously with the packages under his arm Another porter belonging to the Winchester station deposed that he was standing at the door of the station at a quarter to twelve on the night of the robbery, wheal the prisoner came up and asked if he might stop in the station until the train left. He was carrying a bag and parcel. On being told that he could not he went away. The witness raw the prisoner appear again at the station just before the train started, take a ticket for the Water loo station, and go from the booking-office into the last carriage with his bag and parcel. The Governor of Winchester Gaol deposed that on searching the prisoner when he was apprehended, a piece of black cloth was found in his pocket, in which some heavy box, meaeurines 15 feet by 8, plainly ap peared to have been couveyed. The cloth bore marks of having been in contact with sealing-wax and chalk. Oct of the boxes of gold dust missing was about the size of the above measurement, and on it was sealing-wax, and if thrown from the train near Winchester ; it would have pitched on a chalky soil. Inspector Field deposed that he had made inquiries rear the prisoner's residence, and found that the latter was in the habit of keeping late hours; that his wife denied, when first asked, that she had quarrelled with him (the prisoner's excuse for being away from home was that ho quarrelled with his wife). She, how ever, afterwards stated that she had. The witness had ascertained that a cabman had conveyed a man with two packages who had arrived at Waterloo-station last Friday morning by the next mass that left Winchester after the goods train from which the gold-dust was stolen to the Shoreditch-station; that the person who had hired the cab got out of it close to the station, dis missed the cabman, end entered a coffee-house opposite the station, and that a man of a similar description hired a cab from thence, and was conveyed to another part of London, which he was not at liberty to name, as it would defeat the ends of justice. The prisoner's solicitor submitted to the magistrates • although the evidence against the prisoner was perhaps sufficiently strong to justify a remand, he ought to be admitted to bail. In opposition to this the solicitor for the prosecution pointed out to the magistrates that the prisoner stated when apprehended that he had left London in search of work; yet, almost immediately after he had arriveu at Winchester, he was seen at a distance from the town, and in the neighbourhcod of the spot where the box of gold was fuund; end that it had been given in evidence on a former exewination, that, in talking to a woman at the public. house near the spot bilire alluded to on Fri day afternoon last, he stated that he had missed the 3 P.M. up-train on that day; and yet he had asserted to the police-of - deer that he had left London by the 1 P.m. train en that day; and, consequently, that he had not arrived at Wirchester when the 3 A.m. train left. When the evidence had concluded the mayor ane. ma gistrates remanded the prisoner until next Friday, and refused bail. ST. GILES AND ST. JAMES.

CREMORNE.—Mr. Simpson, the proprietor of these gardens, has shown great wisdom and discretion by delaying to open for the season until Monday next, thus escaping the storms that have, until lately, converted every species of ground into a swamp. Equal judgment appears to have been evinced in the preparations which Mr. Simpson has made for the summer season, particularly in the construction of a Inonstre platform for dancing, the merits of which will, d o ubtlesy, be fully apprec ia ted, especially by such foreign ers —and we trust they will be many—who will honour the gardens with a visit. A . host of entertainments, vo ca l, in strumental, theatrical, illusional, pyrotechnical, an d s t r i ct l y ex hibitional, aro announced; and amon g s t them we may men tion the performanc es of the Deulins in ballet, and poses . ' plastiques of a peculiarly . interesting and highly classical character; the w ar exercises and dome stic customs of the Licsjesmans, who will be found to have taken up their abode . in the gardens; and, in June nex t , the performances of Franconi and his celebrated equestrian troupe--a novelty which ought to be of itself sufficient to ensure an extremely prosperous season. • The Austrian Government has ordered seven regi ments of light cavalry to be turned into lancers, in conse giuence of having found that during the late insurrection in _Hungary the lancers had a decided superiority over every other description of light cavalry.

Soon after her arrival in Dublin, as Miss Catherine Hayes, the highly; gifted and amiable vocalist, was passing along on e of' the principal thoroughfares her attention was attracted to a group consisting of a middle aged wornan with a child at her breast and a little boy of about eight years of age standing by her side, who joined his mother in singing with an un usual degree of taste and skill ono of the popular ballads of the day. Their appearance, though sufficiently miserable, still bore traces of respectability, and cleanliness struggling with extreme poverty. Miss Hayes tendered the poor woman some temporary relief, at the same time compli menting her on the talent of her 1 ittle boy, when the woman with tears of gratitude informed her that site was the widow of an humble but respectable professor of music, who had been suddenly cut off by an attack of typhus fever, leaving herself and three children entirely destitute. Her narrative of distress immediately touched the heart of our fair vocalist to the quick, and in a few days, haying made inquiries which verified the poor woman's statement in every particular, anu finding, moreover, that the little boy possessed an exce llent ear for music and a beautiful voice, she so effectually exerted herself in behalf of the poor family that the little boy_, after having been sufficiently instructed in music at Miss Heyes , s expense, has been lately received into the choir of St. owontn Cathedral,a has Dublin,beeanmiad in a situation it e l e ie ntothers,itßuaito; iei a w n h ex- i cP k''3 "rke a l I t e r i a c tN 5 her days. comfort and respectability for the remainder of DEATII OF THE HON. LADY HARVEY.—It is with unfeigned sorrow that we have to announce the demise of the amiable consort of our venerable and esteemed Lieutenant- Governor. This sad event took place at the Government House in this city, on Thursday last. From the peerage we learn that the Hon. Elizabeth Lady llarvey was third daughter of Jerard, first Viscount Lake, a general in the army, Colonel in Chief of the 60th (Royal Rifles) Regiment, and Governor of Plymouth. He was advanced 13th Sep. tember, 1804, to the dignity of Baron Lake of Delhi, Laswary, and Ashton Clinton, county of Bucks, for the intrepidity, eminent judgment, and active spirit displayed by him when commanding the British army during the Mahratta war. The subject of the present notice was married, 16th Jtme, 1806, to our present Lieutenant-Governor, at that time a major in the army, and attached to the staff of Lord Lake, in which capacity he served with distinction throughout the entire war. Since her marriage, Lady Harvey has accom panied her husband in all his varied and distinguished ser vices, in almost every quarter of the globe. With the sing le exception of Canada, Lady Harvey has gracefully di'pensed the hospitalities of every Government House in the British North American Colonies. And we are confident that we speak the sentiments of the people of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward's Island, in expressing the deepest regret on the occasion of the death of Lady Harvey, and the warmest sympathy with her distinguished husband in his sad bereavement and irre parable loss.—Nora Scotian, 11alifax, N.S., Wednesday, April 16. of 60, resident ii lIE LOVES AND HE RIDES AWAY."—A bloom ing maiden, of e fi n r t st ia lo i v i of f it a h n fervourallthe itinerant spectacle becameye,son Green, few weeks ago, honoured deeply enamoured Afterwards returning e deliberation Derby, e.monger.

Lord CRANWORTH presented a - petition from car trio attorneys suggesting alteratiens in the Expenses of Prosecutions Bill. The Duke of ARGYLE presented several petitions against Papal aggression; also a petition from the synod of Ayr, praying their Lordships not to permit any bishop to assume territorial titles in Scotland. H o thought it was scarcely worth while to introduce a clause to exempt Bishops of the Episcopal Church in Scotland from the operation of the Bill, es it had been decided by the law courts of Scotland that fan assump tion of such territorial titles were illegal. The Bishop ofSALISBURY said that 'ellannttl: such titles were unknown to the law of Scotland they were not contrary to law. Lord CAMPBELL said that the Sah.retese Coast ec Scotland had decided that the assumption ,of such terri torial titles were contrary to Intr. The Bishop of SALISBURY sail that they violated. no law in assuming those titles:. Lord CAMPBELL said that the llits'et, _Reverent: Prelate had precisely the same right: to assume the title of D u k e o f Edi n b urg h as t h e Scotch prelates had to assume their territorial titles.

He (Lord Monteegle) could not but express the regret he telt when he found his Noble Friend had given up the • occupation of the land when it had been offered to him. The whole question of the legislation for these North American railways, involving as it did the connexion between them and the mother country, as well as the improvement of 13,000; 000 of acres of :astd, was one of great importance; and he hoped his Noble Friend Weald suspend any final proceedings on the &atter uatil the opinion of the three colonies theuld have been oet a t ee d.
