WESTMINSTER, Lord Steward. ready at all the Libraries, in vols., post tivo., SA NOVEL. 0 ' The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this irom the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writ::: evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerier, and Smythes.”—Observer. gilwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure cud forcible language, with great d taste and power. It is one o: the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said.

The Right Honourable Baronet, therefore, looks on this matter in a very different.light from his leader, and if he is to have anything to do with the nomination of the Committee we confess that we shall await the appointment of the Committee with considerable anxiety, al though we feel that even a hostile report, unless supported by satisfactory reasons, could not prevent the voice of public opinion from being heard, or satisfy the country of the propriety of the present system. We must also express a hope that the labours of the Committee may be productive of some useful re sults; we have, unfortunately, seen so many valuable reports cast aside after publication without any further notice. What steps have been taken to extend our commercial relations with China, or to reduce the duty on tea, in con sequence of the exceedingly able and convincing report of the Committee on that subject ? What has followed the report of the Devon Commission on the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland ? Both of these reports have been suffi ciently long before the country to have led to some legislation, but they have been altogether disre garded, and are now apparently forgotten. Even the report of the Committee on Official Salaries, although three years before the country, has as yet produced no reductions. We are certainly promised that something will be done, but by no means to the extent of the recommendations. We will, however, trust to the national enthusiasm not to permit the present topic to be shelved, and as its expiring within a single year will ensure that the report of the Committee must be brought under the consideration of the House and country early in the ensuing session, we will patiently await the result, prepared to act as the occasion may require, should it be different from our just expectations, or from what the exigencies of the case may demand. We have given in extenso in another column a etter which was originally published in the Ultra montane organ, the Tablet, and which purports to be addressed by the Earl of CLARENDON to the Earl of SHREWSBURY. We were at first inclined to doubt the authenticity of this document, and to consider it as one of those pious forgeries in which the vindicators of the massacre of :St. Bartholomew and the apolo gists of the Holy Inquisition, do not scruple to in dulge whenever the cause of sacerdotal despotism is to be forwarded, or Protestant " vermin" (as that pattern prelate, Dr. WHALE, is in the habit of desig_ nating all who differ from him), are to be crushed; but as no denial of its authenticity has yet been made, al though ample time has elapsed for the publication of such denial, we are compelled to treat the document as genuine. In perusing this letter our first feeling is one of surprise at what we cannot but consider as the excessive " greenness " of the Earl of CLA RENDON with regard to the feelings and objects of the Jesuit party at present in the ascendant at the Court of Rome. " All good men in Ireland," says the Earl of CLARENDON, " of what ever creed or politics, are agreed in reverencing Dr. MURRAY as the beau ideal of a Christian pastor, and yet your Lordship found his HOLINESS, irritated against him alone. All agree in considering Dr. 'WHALE as an ill-disposed demagogue, who does nothing but afford an example of all that a bishop ought not to do, and yet when your Lordship blamed him, you were told that you had a strange animosity against the Irish." Is the Earl of CLARENDON so little aware of the designs and objects of the Jesuit party at present in the ascendant at Rome as to be ignorant that they are irritated against all men who, like Dr. MURRAY, the Archbishop of PARIS, and other models of Christian pastors, act up to the text, " My kingdom is not of this world," and that the " ill-disposed dema gogue," whether he be a cleric, like M'HALB, or a laic, like MONTALEMBERT, is always certain to be favoured and supported by them, because by bis very unscrupulousness and violence, he is best fitted to do their work ? For the same reason I they are opposed to the institution of all colleges and schools; and the Earl of CLARENDON may rely on it that no syllable of proof will ever be ad duced by the Ultramontane opponents of either of the Irish Queen's Colleges in support of the accusa tion of infidelity which they bring forward against them, in'common with every other institution for the diffusion of sound education. They have no proof to bring forward, but they can anathmetise, and as it is easier to curse than to argue, and as, moreover, cursing is more congenial to the feelings of an Ultra montanist than argument, the Earl of CLARENDON may rest assured_ that his Ultramontanist opponents will continue the course on which they have entered, Like the Lying Valet in the farce, they feel that they "can do nothing but curse and call names." It strikes us, also, as somewhat extraordinary that the Earl of CLARENDON should express surprise at the conduct of Dr. CULLEN in endeavouring to set class against class. Why, it was for that very pur pose that he was sent to Ireland ; it is for that very purpose that the Propaganda send out their Jesuit agents to all parts of the world—in Ireland to stir up the poor against the rich, in Austria to incite the rich to trample on and oppress the poor. Divide et impera is their motto, and to secure the ascen dancy of Ultrasnontanism, all means, from murder to petty larceny, are not only allowable but praise worthy according to the principles laid down by ESCOBAR and the other Jesuit authorities, whose works are the text-books of the colleges of Rome. Indeed the Earl of CLARENDON himself seems to have been forced to arrive most unwillingly at the same conclusion with ourselves, for be says— " And now let me silk of 'you, my dear Lord, what could I, or rather what could any unprejudiced specta tor of passing events think, or what could one infer as to the consequences of all the things which I have men tioned, and others which I need not add? What could ono think, except that spiritual jurisdiction was not the object they had in view, but rather political hostility— that between Catholics and Protestants goodwill should not exist." That such is the object of those who at present govern the See of Rome there cannot be a doubt; their aim is to establish in every country in Europe a sacerdotal despotism on the ruins of every other authority. So long as an educated and enlightened and Protestant nation shall remain, so long will the execution of their designs continue unaccom- plished ; and, therefore, it is that this fierce war is declared against Protestantism ; therefore it is that it is sought to cajole weak-minded Protestants by false professions of liberality, while the stanch and uncompromising stickler for the right of private judgment is told " that the time has come when Pro testantism must be extirpated by the edge of the sword ;" and therefore it is that the well-educated and sensible Roman Catholic laity [are denounced to the fierce vengeance of the ignorant and superstitious as "luke warm religionists." How is such a state of things to be met ? How is our Protestant liberty to be defended against the inroads of ElTillit V 7 - - - LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1851. In the Heuse of Lords, last evening, Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the e e b s i e e a t m oa e u n ti o le f Liverpool complaining of the operation of h Marine Act. pose some modification o Earl GRANVILLE stated tfhtahtaGtomveernasmureen, t a i n n d ten th de e d stuohpieroo t Committee on the dro la pp t e h d e , a H ft o e us r w e ohficchonithmeiarnLs olasrdtshniipgshta,dhajourned. Property Tax Bill, House Lord course e took w h which e the G opportunity overnin o e f n i t nfo r m proposeding ttheto pursue, of Mr. Hum, for limiting in consequence of their defeat by a majority of 14 on Friday night, on the motion o J. th ß e us Co E u l the renewal of the property - tax to one year only instead of three. Mr. Humx had stated, as the groundwo r k o f hi s motion, that his object x as that the tax might be made more just and equitable than it now was. He did not agree in the pro position of his Hon. Friend, nor d i d he now agree with him that it was desirable to have such an in quiry. The House, however, had decided otherwise, and it became the duty of the Government to consider what course it would pursue. Now, al though he felt it was very inconvenient to place such an amount of taxation upon such a precarious footing, yet he could not suppose it to be the intention of the majority to place public credit in jeopardy; for the House had always shown itself careful of the public credit, and he therefore thought it right for the Government to consider whether it could adopt the resolution of the House. He was told that there was a general impression in the public mind that the tax might be made more equal. To this he had replied that Mr. Prrr and Sir R. PEEL had arrived at a different conclusion. He was answered by the argument, that if those conclusions should be supported by an inquiry, the country would be better satisfied that the inequalities of the tax were inevitable; and if otherwise, they would then have the tax in a more equitable shape. The decision of the House, then, being contrary to the opinion of the Government as to the desirableness of an inquiry, he would neither refuse nor at tempt to evade an inquiry, which would be conducted by men who were leaders upon financial matters in that House. The Government being thus prepared for a full and fair in quiry, another question arose. If the income-tax were givi:! for one year only, were they to proceed with the financial arrangements of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, all of which had been agreed to by the House? He should be very reluctant to forego the repeal of the window duties, which were not only a financial burden but a great social evil, and also of the timber and coffee duties; but in order to carry these reductions into effect, it must be made clear to the Government that no further alteration would be made in the income-tax, and no other breaking in upon the finances of the country, which might have the effect of dis abling the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER from maintain ing public credit. He hoped, therefore, they would pass the Income-tax Bill without turther modification, and that the whole revenue of the country might be ensured to them if they were to carry out the reductions announced by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Mr. HumE and Mr. DISRAELI both expressed a desire that, as the tax was to be voted only for one year, no altera tion should be made in it s d e t a il s at present, and in conse quence Colonel SIBTHORP and Lord JOCELYN postponed the amendments of which they had given notice, the different clauses were agreed to, and the House r e s ume d. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Lord J. RUSSELL stated the reductions which the Govern ment had undertaken to effect, in accordance with the re commendation of the Select Committee on Official Salaries. With some of the recommendations the Government intended to comply, and where it was not intended to acquiesce, he stated the reasons for their dissent from the recommenda tions of the Committee. The chief reductions which they agreed; to were the following :—lt was;proposed to reduce the Junior Lords of the Treasury from 1,200/. to 1,000/. per annum; the Secretaries, from 2,5001. to 2,0001.; the offices of Paymaster of the Forces and Vice-Pre sident of the Board of Trade would be permanently united. The salaries of the Lords of the Admiralty should be reduced from 1,200/. to 1,0001. per annum. He had already announced to the House the reductions in the judicial salaries; and with respect to diplomatic allowances, he would say that the representative of this country at Paris (who was still to retain the dignity of ambassador), was to have only 8,000/., instead of 10,000/. per annum. Turkey was also still to have an ambassador, in whose salary there would be no diminution. The ambassador at Vienna had been converted into an envoy, and some retrenchment was thus effected. The proposition to unite the various German missions was difficult to carry out, owing to the disturbed state of continental politics. In Italy, however, one of the missions now maintained might be dispensed with, and he thought also that our present Minister at Flo rence might act as diplomatic agent at Rome, should an official intercourse be established between the Court of St. James's and the Vatican. The Noble Lord concluded by impressing upon the House that it was far more important in those foreign missions that the work should be done well rather than that it should be done cheaply. In reply to Mr. URQUHART and Mr. CosnErt, Lord PALMERSTON defended our foreign missions. In reply to Captain BOLDERO, Sir F. BARING said that instructions had been given for securing better accommodation to assistant-surgeons in the navy. _ Mr. FREWEN then moved as an amendment that an ad dress be presented to her MAJESTY, setting forth the distress of the hop-growers of Sussex, and their inability to pay the hop duty now due. After some discussion, in the course of which Lord JOHN Russxr.A. expressed a hope that the House would not listen to the proposition that gentlemen who had sold their hops, and got the money in their pockets, should avoid payment of the duty, the motion was negatived without a division. The remaining business was disposed of, and the House adjourned. The Income-tax Bill has virtually passed for another year, in its present inequitable and op pressive form. As, however, its duration has been so properly limited, and as Lord JOHN RUSSELL has declared that " the Government is prepared to agree that there shall be a fair and full inquiry upon this subject," the parties, who for nine years have sub mitted to the injustice with a good grace, must be content to bear it for twelve months more, com forting themselves with the reflection that its days are numbered, and that it can never again be renewed without very extensive modifications. After the urgent appeal, ad misericordiam, made by the PREMIER against any alterations pend ing the promised investigation, we shall not censure those who withdrew the amendments of which they had given notice, although retaining our strong ob jections to the existing system, and believing that such gross and palpable injustice should not be toler ated for a single moment during which it could be prevented. It might certainly be impossible to enter into a perfectly equitable adjustment of the impost, so that each man should bear his exact proportion and no more of the national burdens, but there might be some degree of approximation thereto, some instalment of justice, to render the sufferers more patient during the interim. To us it appears so clear, so self-evident a proposition, that the hard earnings of a professional man, author or artist, or the fluctuating profits of the merchant, manuf4cturer and trader, are not equivalent to well-circurnstanted ground rents, or dividends from money in the funds, that it appears like a work of supererogation, an absurd trifling with the public , patience, to enter into arguments to sustain the position. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, how ever, appears to be of opinion that the re sult of the inquiry may be to satisfy the country that the tax cannot be rendered more just and equal, at least without materially diminishing i;s amount, or rendering it ten times more inquisitorial than it now is. He is manifestly still prepared to defend the abuses that have existed, and to justify the " conclusion" at which his colleague arrived. So long as the point is controverted and under discus sion, so long as any person of any degree of weigh ,nd influence can be found to uplift his voice in its behalf, we shall not insist on any proceeding that may appear to prejudge or anticipate the result, or could in any degree interfere with the course of the inquiry. It is, however, essential that the promise of the PREMIER should be fairly carried out, that no discreditable subterfuge or evasion should be resorted to. No objection could be taken to what fell from the Noble Lord on the subject.

Believing Lord JOHN RUSSELL to be a man of the nicest honour, who would be incapable of violating his plighted word for any private or public a dvantage to hi mse lf persona ll y, or as a leader of a great party, we are perfectly satisfied with this pledge, so far as he is personally concerned ; but we cannot forget what has taken place on former occasions, more especially on th e i nquiry into the investigation. i O t O :lo l with r c auses of the commercial ,crisis of 18 47, and the un blushingespec t is now, unfortunately, a matter of public not or i ety that the Committee was packed, that its report was a fore gone t o avowal the last-mentioned Sir its nature being anticipat e d w i th pe the moment that the names of its members we feet certainty from were announced.

Y es , i t is on the Continent that the aggression must be m e t, if it is intended to meet it effectually. It is by commencing an offensive continental campaign against Ultramontanistn, absolutism, and obscurantism, that the POPE must be taught " not to meddle in other people's concerns." Wherever there is a nation struggling against Papal usurpation, as Sardinia now is, there should England be also with assistance material and moral. The Ultramontanist conspiracy must be met by a great Anti-P a p a l L eague o f se lf-d e f ence , of which England must b e the head. Such was t h e po li cy o f the greatest s t a t esman E ng l and ever pro d uce d, th e Protector, OLIVER CROMW ELL , and such should be the policy of every statesman who has his country's good at heart.

The tonnage returns for the Foreign trade show a great increase on the month, being -1850. 1851. Inwards Outwards In this increase British ships are fully represented. The coasting trade was also greater, viz.:-1,050.266 tons against 984,361 tons, to April, 1850. The following, from the Circular of Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy, and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, gives the state of the Tobacco market : NEw ORLEANS, Aran, 12.—There is a fair business doing in our Tobacco- market, and the ample assortment now offer ing is attracting the attention of buyers. The transactions during the last fortnight foot up 2,875 hogsheads, and have served to establish the prices of the article more precisely, which heretofore have been rather irregular and undefined. Whilst the low and undesirable qualities have gone off at moderate prices, the finer descriptions have commanded full rates, and are held back by some factors for fancy prices, on account of their comparative scarcity. The sales include a parcel of 1,170 hopheads Mason County tobacco, taken by the buyer for the Spanish Government, at a price not made public, but understood to assimilate to 9 1 4 for round and mixed lots of A and R, and containing but a very small pro portion of really fine wrappers. A selected lot of 400 hogs heads of the latter description is held at 12;i. c. Tobacco stems are in good demand, and some lots of only middling quality have fetched 1 1 / Q c per lb. We submit the following quotations as a criterion of the present state of the market : —Kentucky fair lots all round, A, 8 3 4 c to 10c; selections, 104 e to 12c; Kentucky fair lots all round, R, 6c to 7c; selections, 7 1 / 2 c to 7 3 / 4 c ; Yellow Banks, A. 10c to 10 1 / 2 0 ; selections, 11c to 11 tAp ; Yellow Banks, R, 7c to 7 1 / 2 c ; se • lections, 7 3 / t c to 8c; Mason County, A, 9 3 / 4 c to 10 1 4 c ; selec tions, 11%c to 12%c ; Mason County, R, 7c to 7%c ; selec tions, 8c to 81/sc. The Hamburgh mail of Friday last gives the rate of exchange on London the same as previously, viz., 13 3. The English Funds are rather firmer this morning, as the Ministerial explanations have inspired a better feeling. The next struggle, however, will be upon the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, and until it is seen whether that can be made more stringent, and if not, whether the Ministry will acquiesce in a contrary decision, the more timid specu lators will be disinclined toilet. The condition of the Money Market is another thing to be considered, and the course that the foreign exchanges wil take must weigh with most parties. Last week the expor tation of silver was exceedingly large, but for a time the de mand appears to have been satisfied, as there is a fall in the price of the metal. The considerable arrivals of silver have sufficed to meet the demand hitherto, and by the tenor o yesterday's news, from California. we expect a full supply of gold, in addition to what has come to hand by the last two arrivals.

Subsequently sales have been effected to a large extent, p ar ti cu l ars of W hich have not yet tran spired; but we are fully warranted in stating that several parcels of Western Strips have been taken by influential buyers, who are no doubt f u ll y i n possession of the instruc tions given to the stemmert to reduce very materially the make of Strips at their factories in America. A course of this kind is not improbable, as the parties most deeply interested ire still the holders of a large portion of the imports of last season. It is reasonable to presume that the transactions referred to may have considerable effect on Prospective prices. For exporta tion there has been very little done; and in the few sales effected prices have beea slightly in favour of buyers. Imports, 164 hhds; deliveries, 76 , hhds, against 1,124 hhds in the corresponding month of 1850. St. ck, 25,952 hhds, against 24,270 hhds i 1 1850. In Virginia sales have been limited, and confines to the immerqate wants of buyers. Holders remain qtite firm. In Kentucky Leaf and Strips business has been chiefly directed to the latter, and to which we have before alluded. Some small purchases were made of Home-trade Leaf; but for exportation scarcely anything done. Maryland, sales were about 60 hhds, chiefly at fitAd to 74d. Havannah Tobacco has been in limited request, the trade being generally well supplied. Some inquiries were made for exportation, but prices were deemed too high to meet the views of buyers. Latest ad- . vices from Havann a h re p resent t h at some sma ll parcels o f the new crop had been brought to market, and had realised full prices. The quality was represented as very superior. Havannah Segars have been in limited demand, and sales difficult :.o effect at present high prices ; the competition for the exclusive apply of certain bran4s will no doubt answer the purpose of parties most interested, but they ap ear to lose sight of a largely diminished consumption, which will be further diminished if monopoly continues. Manilla Che roots for home consumption have been seldom inquired after; a few cases have been taken for expor ation at for mer rates. Manilla Leaf, nothing. Brazil sold at full prices. In Havannah Seed Leaf, Porto Rico, Florida, and Yara. very little done. Cuba—A parcel of 100 bales, just arrived, has been sampled, and is now on the market, the quality is very superior. Nothing done in St. Domingo. In German Leaf, sales have been chiefly confined to ordinary descriptions. f r cutting purposes. A few cases of the new crop of selected Leaf have been taken by the trade at high prices. In Amers foort a few limited sales have been made, both for cutting and snuff purposes, at full rates. For Negrohead and Caven dish the demand has been limited, but importers of best brands have declined making sales, except at extreme rates. Smalls of good quality in fair demand. Stalks difficult of vale. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHANCELLOR.) RODICK V. GANDELL. Mr. R. PALMER this morning resumed the argument in this appeal, which was pin opened yesterday. The appeal was from a decree of the late Master of the Rolls, dismissing the plaintiff's bill. It appeared that previous to the year 1845 the defendants, Gandell and hlinton, civil engineers, were customers of the Liverpool Union Banking Company, and had overdrawn their account 2,762/. l is. 7d., at which time Lister, the manager of the bank, applied to them for pay ment or security. The defendants thereupon agreed to as sign to the bank certain debts owing to them, as engineers, from various railway companies, and wrote to Messrs. Pin niger and Westmacott, solicitors for the railway companies in London, authorising them to receive the moneys due to them (the defendants), and to write to the bank to that effect. Accordingly Pinnigei and Westmacott, on the 27th of December, 1845, wrote to the bank to the effect that they would pay the moneys, when received, into the bank. The receipt of this letter was acknowledged by the manager on the 29th of December, who, at the same time, forwarded a statement of the amount due from the defendants, and added that the letter of Messrs. Pinniger and Westmacott should be given up on payment of the account. The bank, by their bill, sought a declaration that the correspondence which passed amounted to an equitable assignment to them of the debts due to the defendants from the railway com pany, but upon the hearing of the cause the Master of the Rolls negatived such a construction of the letters, and dis missed the bill. From this decree the plaintiffs appealed. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY. INSTON V. HARDY. This case was resumed this morning. Mr. COTTON was heard for the defendant. VICE - CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Be'bre Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE. ) His Honour was occupied this morning in hearing short causes, none of which were of importance. (Before Vice-Chancellor Lord CRANWORTH.) His Lordship was engaged the whole morning in disposing of unopposed petitions. (Before Vice4Chancellor TURNER.) NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY V. WHIELDON. His Honour gave judgement in this case, which was argued before him yesterday. The question in the case was whether the defendants were entitled to the sum of 5001., which had been paid into court, as the amount given by the jury for compensation for damage to their estate at Fenton-grove, Warwickshire, 4r whether the damage had, in fact, been included in the amount of 10,500/. originally paid for lands taken, severance, and other injuries. The plaintiffs now pressed for an in. junction to prevent the defendants obtaining this money. His tioxouß said that, after carefully going through the evidence, he had come to the conclusion that the agreement formerly made between the parties did not bear so limited a construction as the plaintiffs wished to pat upon it. The plaintiffs had totally failed to show that the compensation for damage done, which was now sought to be oblained, was included in the former arrangements. He should therefore dismiss the bill with costs.—Order accordingly. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) SPECIAL PAPER. Lord CAMPBELL intimated at the sitting of the Court this morning that, although this was properly speaking the last special paper day, yet on Friday next, for the convenience of the profession, after calling over the bar, the Court would proceed to the special paper. COMMON PLEA S.-(THIS DAY.) No business of any great importance was transacted in this court during the morning. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied during the morning in hearing arguments on rules for new trials, none of which possessed any feature of interest. MARLBRO'-STREE r —(THIS DAY.) THE GREAT EXHIBITION.— CAUTION TO EXHIBITORS' As. SlSTANTS.—Septimus Martinelli, a young man in the employ of one of the exhibitors at the Crystal Palace, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with assaulting Police-sergeant Pronger, 237 A, while in the execution of his duty. The constable stated that this morning, about nine o'clock, he was on duty in the interior of the Exhibition when he saw the defendant wandering about various sections. He asked him for his pass ticket, when he replied that he had none. Witness said his orders were to turn all persons out who had not a pass, and that he could not let him proceed further unless he produced his ticket. The defendant replied that his master, who was an exhibitor, had got his pass, and he would take witness to him. They then walked some distance towards the west end of the building, when the defendant ran away through different sections, to No. 22, the sec tion where his muter was. Witness got up to him, and again desired him to, go out; and on putting his hand gently on his shoulder to eject him from the building, the defen dant struck him on the head, and knocked his hat off. Wit ness then took him into custody for the assault. In reply to the charge, the defendant said he had a ticket when he entered the building in the morning, but he left it with his master. He had not the least idea he was doing w rong in going into another section than the one he was employed in, and if he did strike the constable it was not done intentionally. Mr. BINGILCH said defendant ought to have paid obedi ence to the constable's orders, especially at such a time, and in such a cause as the Great Exhibition; and as a warning to others he should flue him 20s. for the assault on the constable. The money was immediately paid. ROBBERY AT THE EXHIBITION. --Thomas Scanlan was charged, before Mr. Bingham, with stealing from the Crystal Palace a quantity of scaffolding rope, the property of Messsrs. Fox and Henderson, the contractors. Best, 164 D, said, about half-past eight this morning he was on duty at the south entrance of the Exhibition, when he saw the prisoner, who was carrying a large bag, of bulky appearance, in the middle of the road. Witness went up to him and asked what he had got in the bag. The prisoner said, " Oh, nothing particular, only some rubbish I have picked up." Witness then opened the bag, and found it to contain a considerable quantity of scaffolding rope; and as the prisoner could not give a satisfactory account as to the manner be came by it, be took him to the station. Thomas Handford, gate-keeper in the employ of Messrs. Fox and Henderson, at the Exhibition, identified the rope as th 3 property of his employers. The prisoner said he picked up the rope in the park, and thinking it of no use to any one, he put it in his bag. Mr. BINGHAM, who thought the prisoner might have acted under that impression, dealt with the case in a summary manner by committing him for ten days for unlawful pos session. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. (THIS DAY.) Notwithstanding the discouraging murkiness which con tinues to pervade the atmosphere, and the apprehension felt by many that, with such cold breezes prevalent, the Crystal Palace will be nothing but a vast temple of the winds, productive of cold and rheumatics, the number of visitors seems to increase each day, those who have seen it once return for another view, while the enthusiasm excited in its f favour, having comm un i ca t e d it se lf already , to the most dis tant parts of the empire, is bringing up each day numbers the most respectable of the provincial population. To use a favourite phrase of the day, a more popular element i 3 beginning to infuse itself into the visi tors , and the aristocratic exclusiveness wh ich, in a great measure, was the prevailing feature d uring the two or three opening days , is now merging in the respectable, yet still select. During the last few days we have mingled in the groups which have filled the dif ferent parts of the building, and though many of them con sist of a class which might be supposed to be , blaze, of all manner of sights, we have heard on every side nothin g but expressions of delight and amazement. We a d v i se our readers, on their visit, to enter by the south entrance, to it is immediately on passing that barrier that the most beauti ful and striking impression of the treasures o f th e P a l ace i s ; and we can imagine nothing in the fabled.stories of Oriental magnificence which can surpass the first view thus caught of the transept. The visitor passing through the beautiful iron gates, if not daazled by its gorgeousness, he, at least, is enraptured by the b eauty of the scene, in which the rarest productions of nature and art are sb exquisitely blended. The first object to catch his eye certainly will be the crystal fountain rising in the centre, with its deli cate proportions, and casting at once an air of romance over the whole scene. Behind is the fine old elm, and the palms and exotics which surround it, with the banks of flowers minglingh ar e to be kept for ever blooming ; the clear spray from the f ounta i n which he sees still further in the b ac k ground with these, gives an air of freshness to the scene, which, wh en t h e hot' summer and the bright sun do come at last, will render it one of the most delightful spots we know. Nor are splendour and magnificence wanting; all around are spread the fairest woiks of art. The eye cannot pass from one point to another without resting on some beautiful group of sculpture, while to the right and left be sees the rich contributions of Egypt and India, which rival in their dazzling gorgeousness anything which has been related of the produce of Eastern looms, glitter ing with gold and precious stones. Already the transept has become the favourite lounge ; the seats which are scattered round are always filled, and when tired with the extensive promenade which an inspection of the building requi:es, or bewildered by the multitude and va riety of the treasures which it disclos s, visitors return hither, to rest awhile to observe the various groups which every moment pours into the Palace, or to renew once more the delight which the first view of this fairy scene excited. On reaching the centre of the transept, where it crosses the nave, the full magnificence and grandeur of the building itself is first perceptilile ; east and west, he sees it stretching away almost. we may say, as far as the eye can reach, its light and airy proportions rising above with equalled grace and ma jesty ; and when at last his eye descends, and rests on countless array of splendid objects to honour which this palace of glass was raised, no wonder that be stands per fectly bewildered by their multitude, scarce knowing where to commence his insrction. If he will trust himself in our hands we will be his safe, and we hope not uninstructive• guide. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. .The admirable and mirth-provoking pantomime of Ha r k' gum and Good Queen Bess was revived here last evening, with a caste in every way su - engthened. In the first place we had the prince of burlesque pantomimists, W. H. Par e ' as the great Earl of L , icester ; then we had a new clown the person of Mr. J. Doughty, who, for activity and fa lls equal to any, and superior to most of his contempora ries. o Lauri family supplied Harlequin, P an t a loon, and Spite; &n, 0, pretty Miss Palser made the most charming and gul.

OLYMPIC THEATRE: The entertainments last evening at this elegant theatre were for the benefit of Mr. Leigh Murray, the stage ma na g er, and consisted of Sir E. B.

Th e c h a racter of Evelyn in al play requires much study in o rd e r to develope the iffer° phases of the part, but in the hands of Mr. Murray it ceived attention, and every line was given truthfullY ti n . o forcibly. Mrs. Stirling, as Clara Douglas, acted the par t , l her usual excellent style. The other characters in the pal were all well sustained by Messrs. Compton, Diddear, Shaldera, Mrs. Leigh Murray, and Miss Ilovia r .d The drama of Charles King followed, in which was intradu h c ic ` h for this occasion only, a very pretty divertissement , ill w ", ds Madlle.
