Unfortunately ,s!re were tw o c h arges o f m urder.

PREPARATIONS AT GUILDHALL. — The civic edifice has undergone so complete a renovation, and so much has been accomplished by the Corporation, in the shape of paint ieg, whitewashing, &c., within the last week, that it would be difficult for anybody not intimately acquainted with the building to recognise the various apartments and offices. The " hall" itselt has been entirely cleaned, whitened and painted, the ceiling in its present state is divided into com partments of white and blue; on the walls are allegorical devices, representing all the countries in the world from which contributions to the Great Exhibition of all Nations have been received. Innumerable garlands and festoons of flowers are among the decorative appliances, and there is no want of gilding to ad.' to the richness of the effect. Gog and Magog have been refitted, and, in addition to the costly chandeliers which hang from the ceiling, a brilliant star of glass, from the manufactory of Mr. Lopeland, M.P., will iduminate this gorgeous room. The ancient crypt, of which a good deal has lately been •said, is metamorphosed into the supper room, and it certainly makes a very admirable refec tory for the illustrious and noble guests invited. The hang ings are very elegant. There are enormous looking-glasses, s o placed that the size of the apartment is magnified to a vast extent by the reflection. A circular table, at which the Royakguests are to partake of the festivities of the occasion, occupies the centre,_ and brings back the recollection of the round table of King Arthur and his knights, and sideboards t t e h fu e il d y is ti p t l t a ed up. The antique kitchen and seve ral long co rridors are display of plate. Sec. The refreshment rooms arranged hung with scarlet and white draperies, resembling tents. O n th ese M r. B .

In short, no expense and no trouble has been spared to render the whole place worthy of the occasion for which it is to be employed. GREENWICH 1105PITAL.—On Saturday the Lords of the Admiralty visited Greenwich Hospital, for the pur pose of inspecting and examining the -- ( Vs of the Naval Asylum Schools. Having visited the - Upper School, the boys went through the various examinations in mathema tics, navigation, &c., in all of which their lordships expressed their fullest satisfaction at the progress made in the various important studies, The Lower School also gave very greab satisfaction, and elicited much applause towards both mas ters and pupils. ' They next visited the grounds for gym nas _ tics, and were much pleased with the practice performed by suck and sword exercise. Their Lordships next went on board the ship in the asylum grou nd, used for practice by the boys in this most useful part of the naval service, ot who performed the various evolutions in the presence their Lordships and numerous visitors, particularly ladies; they then went into the hall, when Sir F. Baring, Bart., M.P. , delivered the numerous prizes to those boys who distin guished themselves in their various studies. They then proceeded to the baths of the schools. The gymnastic exeicises, and the other performances of the boys, drew forth the greatest admiration of :the visitors. At one o'clock their Lord-hips proceeded to the boys' dining hall, where . they tasted of the _.e dinner provided. The beautiful and efficient band played the national airs of 'Rule l3ritannia," and "God Save the rru ss i a, of of Pdulsgut, dihtrict of Osferode, Queen," several times oaring the stay of their Lordships, the some huts, with the exception f two farm -buildings and juveniles sii,ging with great éclat the National Anthem.

By the arrival of toe Royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Shannon, we have received advice&. from New York to the 24th nit , Boston to the 25th,, and telegraphic accounts from New York via Halifax to the 2 e 6tii ult. She brings 96 passengers and a small amount of specie on fieight. The steam-ship Brother Jonathan had arrived at New `York from Cangree and Jamaica with specie to the amount of .500,000 dolls. She' sailed from the latter port on the 14th ult. The United States mail steam. ship Arctic, Captain Luce, arrived at, New York on the 22d ult. Tue 5 acbt Nurtli America had sailed for England. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. IN F. NV I 0 I:IIITWSDAY, JUNE 26, P.M. The steemer Europa's news reached this by tele graph on Tuesday ; the full details to-day. It has had little effect on the cotton market, which remains firm at rates advanced by mail. Her advices have had marked effect to-day on corn and flour markets. There is an advance of 6 to 12i cents. on flour, 2 to 4 cents. on wheat, auci 2 to 3 cents. on Indian corn. The orders by letters from England are unusually large, but the scarcity of vessels rather limits business. The losses of the fire in San Francisco have not fallen so heavily on mer chants as was anticipated. Government and States stocks are in brisk demand to-day, but scanty supply. Government Sixes of 67 sold at 1161. Exchange on England is dull to-day, at from 10i to 10i. From Mexico we find intelligence in the Tribune to the 2d ult. Tae extra Session of the Congress was opened on the Ist by a speech from the Pre sident. Our advices from Havannah are to the 16th ult., but they contain no news of interest. The Tribune states that a Federal Government had been agreed upon between the States of Nicaragua, San Salvador, and Honduras. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JUNE 24. Although the supply is by no means so abundant as it has been for some months past, there is a fair amount of capital on the market for investment, and we cannot discover so much stringency in financial circles as some would have the public to believe. It is true dearer rates are in most cases paid upon every class of securities. Foreign exchanges have been rather inactive since the departure of the Pacific. Bills on London may be quoted at 1 loa to 1104; Paris, 5.071; Amsterdam, 414 to 42; Llatuburgh, 301. to 37; Bremen, 791 to 80. Cotton-The home traders continued to buy freely. Their purchases ranged from 1,200 to 1,500 bales daily, embracing all grades above strict middling, which, being scarce, are d:fficult to purchase at annexed quotations. Grades under middling are still much neglected, but firmly held considerably above the limits of foreign orders. Toe Arctic's letters were about the tenor anticipated, and have produced no Littler effect than a firm feeling. Thu salt a reported were 2,000 bales, i early all to the •rade, at very lull prices.

The business of the weeljhasbeen hard for buyers from the north, who have had to supply themselves with funds at 7 per cent. exchange. The regular packets are doing a good business in coastwise freights, while there is a constant demand for both north and 6cross the Atlandc. Northern produce bears a high price, the market being bare of the leading articles. INSTITUTE OF ACTUARIES. —— A very numerously attended and interesting meeting of the members of this body was held on Saturday, at the rooms of the Institute, in Chatham-place, the chair being occupied by Mr. Jellicoe, the vice-president. The meeting derived addiiional importance from the presence of the several representatives of the leading foreign as surance institutions. The discussion of the first topic was opened by Mr. Nrieon. Professor FRIEDLANDER, Of the University of Dor pain, nest chanted attention to the valuable statistics of ;no Pruastun state, compiled by Dieterici, Moser, and Hoffman. Atter some further remarks from several members, Mr. THOMPSON, of Edinbugh, introduced the subject of the future rate or interest which money is likely to corn mard in the market. We have also to mention that an interesting paper on the existing state of the several marine, fire, and lite (Bees of Germany, was transmitted to the institute by fierr Masius, of Leipsic, wnose contributions to tuns branch of literature are well known. DINNER. A banquet was given in the evening, under the aus pices of the society', at the Castle Hotel, Richmond, when about 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner, all of them wore or iess interested, and some of them distin- ' guished for their ie. , _ed,rches in questions of statistics and " the science of probabilities" in this and foreign coun tries. The Right Hon. Lord Overstcne ably discharged the duties of president; and on his right and lett were Colonel Sykes, Mr. Childers , M.P., Mr. Heywood, M.P. , Mr. Babbage Mr. J. ' l'idd Pratt, 21.

Suggested doubtless by the unrestricted character of the Great Industrial Exhibition, a gallery of paintings has very recently been opened to public inspection at Lichfield House, St. James's-square, the walls admitting of pictures by living painters of the schools of all coun tries. As might be conjectured, the works of art here collected together are many of them of a most interesting description, and nearly all of them raised above the dead level of mediocrity. Traversing the different apart ments we occasionally find our attention arrested by the masterpiece of some illustrious artist, as in the instance ut Paul de la Ruche's great picture (102) of " Cromwell looking at Charles I. in his Coffin," a production which, it will be remembered, was displayed last season on the walls of the Royal Academy. Actuated possibly by the same view, most of the foreign contri butors have selected for the display of their abilities some scene familiar to the ideas of Englishmen. For example, M. Fourau has in 26 pourtrayed an inci dent from the life of Chatterton; and in 32 11. Slinge neyer has depicted the death of Nelson. In the latter there is too much of the ghastly reality of bloodshed, and the position of the wounded admiral with his right leg thrust out towards the spectator, and consequently fore shortened, is disagreeable and awkward. ' Favourite works by cur own artists may occasionally be recog nised, as in 29, C. M. Ward's "Fall of Clarendon." M. Chauvin's " Flight into Egypt," 30, will be recognised by all visitors to the Royal Academy collection for the present season. The last tragic incident in Sir Walter Scott's "Bride of Lammermoor" has been realized with painful eareestness in 35, by M. Signol. Lucy Ashton's figure in the chimney corner is exquoitely painted, her emoeth ivory shoulder, her delicate but crazed features, and her thin beautiful fingers dabbled in blood. M. Lehmann'e picture, 36, of " The Virgin Mary fainting at the foot of the Cross" is, to our thinking, painful to behold, every face in the group being a deplorable failure. The same painter has, in 37, given us a very French " Hamlet," and in 38 a very French " Ophelia." M. Scheffer's " Portrait of Louis Philippe," 40, appears to us a very mahogany coloured caricature. Two most interesting and admirably artistic productions by M. Schopin, in one of the upper rooms, command our very earnest eulogiums, one of them 43, representing "The Morning of the 18th Brumaire," and the other, 44, the "Divorce cl Napoleon and Josephine." In the former, the young General, who has just returned, bronzed and doubly glorious from the land of the Pharoahs, where he had more than fulfilled the auguries of his early cam paigns in Lombardy, is conspicuous of course amongst the group of his political and military supporters. Mo reau, in the same picture, is noticeable from the circum stance of his being the only soldier there in plain clothes. In the latter production the eye wanders with curiosity from one figure to another, here resting on the Greek and Cameo-like visage of the Emperor, here on the beautiful face of Josephine, recognising in different di rections the Prince Eugene, the Queen Hortense, the arch Chancellor Cembaceres, the dauntless Ney, the chivalric Murat, and the wily and inscrutable Talley rand. M. Gosse, again, has two or three very charming contributions, 46, one of " Gallileo explaining his As taonorcie Tables," 47, " St. Vincent de Paul relieving the Galley Slaves," and 48, " Camoens saving his Manu script." M. Felon's " Thetis rising from the Sea," 61, is a lovely glee'm of the ancient mythology. Not thus deserving of praise is 72, " The Farewell of Louis XVI. end his Family" subject just pourtrayed we under stand with consummate genius by the master hand of Paul de la Ronhe), from the easle of M. Rossiguon. In its colouring the whole picture is characterised by a very French and melodramatic intensity. Quite as melancholy in its inadequacy is 68, " The Infant Jesus in the Temple " by M. Sceeffer, a study of a head that might have been mis taken for anything rather than what it is said to imply in the catalogue. Among the portraits in the collection, besides others of note, we especially remarked an ad mirable one, 114, by Madame Bianchi of "M. Guizot," and 119 a very characteristic one by Mr. Grant of " Count D'Orsay." Mr. Lucy's "Landing of the Pil grim Fathers on the Coast of America" is rather sombre in treatment and conceived iu a highly lugubrious and puritanical spirit. His lesser picture of "Cromwell being admonished by Dec.r . s. Claypole, his favourite daughter," is by no means t‘s meritorious, however, as a work of eat, preferable though it is in con ception. Mr. Guctin'a " Grand Marine," 134, is a really remarkable production, and although we might protest against the metallic shine upon the ripple of the writer, the romance thrown over the whole canvas by his brush, at once bold and luminous, renders us indiffer ent to the minor blemishes perceivable amoug so much that is admirable and excellent. NI. Tschaggeny's " In cident from the Field of Battle," 168, though powerfully thought and vigorously produced, is, nevertheless, too latniully correct to win tor it a large share of admire aou. Yet more can we say this of M. Felix Leuellier's large and rt markable picture, 179, of " The Early Christians being Devoured by Wild Beasts," one of the most hideous nightmares it ever entered into the heart of painter to imagine, and certainly the most awful and most painful we have ever in our lives seen delineated. Mr. J. `'dare's Sin, Death, and Hell undermining the Rock of Ages," a horrid little ghoul of a picture, in tno present year's collection of the Royal Academy, is nothing whatever by comparison. A very clever archi teciural drawing of the " New Palace at Westminster," 175, painted by M. Ouvrie, will be looked upon by many with interest as a sketch taken in London by a Frenchman. A sea piece by another French artist, M.. Bartie envy, is one of the nios t exquisite and masterly works of art in the whole of the Lichfield House Collec tion : it represents, 178, the " Escape of Jean Bart," and may be readily recognised by the visitor on the staircase. The commotion of the waves has never been more wonderfully portrayed ;; the boat seems abso lutely lifted up on the billows. " Henry IV. and his Children," 182, by M. Roug et; are as brilliantly and distinctly individualized as portraits from the life. Of M. Biard's "Henry IV. anti Fleurette" we can only say that it resembles a very improper Maria with a quaintly masquerading Sterne, the latter strolling through a coppice on a trip m ore than ever sentimental. The daring and pretentious pmiinting by Offtaberzettel of " St. John preaching in the NV ilderness," and which it may be remembered was formerly exhibited for the artist in Bond-street and Pic ci.dilly, has recently been added to the works of art ;sow on view in Lichfield House. It deserves an especi a examination as the pro duction of a foreign artist of very great ability, and as revealing on his part a lofty Etriti honourable ambition. Among the eccentricities in tl to collection will be noticed 214, the sketch of a " Supper• at a Bal Masque," by M. Hillemach; and among the fit test specimens in the whole gallery will be observed 225, '" The Frightened Flock," a singularly tine example off ha powers of M. Verboeck hoven. From the peculiar cl taracter of the whole under taking we are sanguine tb at the enterprise of those artists who have applied Lich field House to the purposes of this very interesting pieta rial exhibition, will be re paid by the patronage of all lovers of art, just now col lected together in London from the various countries of Thristendom. PERVERSION OF THE tux. F. S. BARFF AND THE 'try. THOMAii DYKES.—The Roy. F. S. Barff, 8.A., and the Rev. Thomas Dykes, 8.A., who recently resigned their office as curates in the Holy Trinity Church, were admitted, on Sunday morning last, into the nomish communion, and re ceived the sacrament in the Roman Catholic Chapel, Jarratt street, from the hands of the Rt iv. Mr. Mortler. No public avowal of the change in their principles was made by the rev. perverts, neither was there any reference made to it in the sermon preached in the morni ag by the Rev. Mr. Trappes, the minister of the chapel. Thal in the evening partook of a controversial nature, being on the question of miracles, in the course of which Mr. Trappes endeavoured to show that miracles had ever been the chief mature and characteristic of "the only true church."--Eastern Counties Herald. PERVERSION.—On Wednet day week the lady of the Rev. J. Woodward, whose la to secession to the Roman i Catholic Chu rc h i s an event of such unhappy notoriety in this city, was formally received .st Clifton Chapel into the (i oheeerd to husband. follow the O e n the m p following le of her Sunday master andt h e nlknwrsefaith was in o f mistress.—Bristol l imes. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICAI/ON BETWEEN LEEDS AND HOLY II BAD. —On Wednesday morning, at thirty-seven minutes past ten o'clock, the town of Leeds was, for the first time, placed in direct communication with Chester, Bangor, and Holyhead, and a rapid. onvenntion then ensued between Park-row, Leeds, and St. George's Channel. The signals through upwards of 200 miles of wire were sur prisingly distinct, and the transinisaion of dispatches and intelligence Was with thy, utmost facility.—Leeds .Mercury. effected TO RIGBY WASON, ESQ. Sir,—l have perused your letter in The Sun news paper, of the 2d instant, addressed to Mr. Winton, the chairman of the Committee of Exhibitors, and in the absence of that gentlemaa in consequence of a domestic affliction, I, as one of the committee, beg to be per mitted to address a few remarks to you in answer. I was somewhat surprised at seeing your reply to the circular of the committee inserted in a public journal, and that you should therein intimate an opinion that the members of the committee were acting an unjust part, and had committed some error for which they ought to atone; but as you have adopted the press as the medium of communicating your sentiments, and to cast reflections upon the members of our committee, I shall rely upon the spirit of fairness for which the press is proverbial, for an insertion of the few remarks I am desirous of ad dressing to you. The exhibitors, you say, ought, in your opinion, to consider themselves the obliged and not the obliging parties, and with the view of testing the accuracy of this opinion, you divide the exhibitors into three classes : Ist. Those who, like the Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Hope, have exhibited objects of art acquired by them selves or received from their ancestors. 2d. Those who have exhibited articles from which they cannot possibly derive any personal emolument, but who are desirous of bringing under public attention some favourite object. 3d. Those who have exhibited articles similar to those in which they deal, frcm the sale of which they expect to realize a profit. The first class, you say, " are an obliged party, by being enabled to confer a benefit upon their fellow creatures, by giving them the opportunity of seeing objects which will arrest attention, stimulate exertion, and advance the cause of civilization." Are you really serious, Sir, in suggesting that such men as the Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Hope should deem themselves under an obligation by being permitted to exhibit their several articles in Hyde-park? You cannot be, Sir. You have taken for your argument the very cases I should have selected myself to justify the course we are pursuing. It is partly because there are such as the Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Hope amongst the exhi bitors, that we say the exhibitors ought to have free admission accorded to them. Such men could have had no mercenary motives, and you have no right to divide the exhibitors and to say that the humble artizan was not actuated by as pure a motive in lodging his han dicraft in the Crystal Palace as the Duke of Devonshire or any other exalted personage in contributing his costly treasures; and it is not because the high-born and wealthy care not to claim their right, that the humble and poor should be denied theirs. To the second class, you say you yourself belong, and as it is impossible for you to derive any personal emolument from your exhibition of the mode by which you have reclaimed your waste lands, I must presume you were actuated by a love of country in coming for ward as you have; and although you, with those of the exhibitors whom you have included in the first of the three classes into which you have divided the exhibitors, care not to enforce your right, I cannot see that that is any reason why others similarly influenced should be compelled to relinquish theirs. I would observe in pas sing, that few of our nobility and gentry need be at a loss to discover persons to whom they might lay themselves under an obligation, and that you yourself, Sir, might be "obliged" to your heart's content in reclaiming the, at present, sterile acres of others. I come now to the third class. You say they are yet more obliged, for they hope to reap (and you trust they will not not be disappointed) emolument from the dis play of articles in which they deal. I presume you allude to sales being made by the exhibitors of goods in their several trades. Do you not know, Sir, that the advantage with which you say the exhibitors ought to be satisfied can only be obtained by direct violation of the rules of the Commissioners, and of the principle upon which the whole scheme was founded?—that every obstacle has been thrown in the way by the Executive to prevent the exhibitors reaping that advantage? Why the Commissioners in the very outset of their proceed ing prohibited the exhibitors seeking to dispose of their goods, and expressly declared that the Exhibition was for their display only, and not for their sale. Prices were not allowed to be affixed, and it was even published by the Commissioners that if any exhibitor or servant of an exhibitor sought to obtain purchasers for their property from amongst those who came to inspect it, the party so acting would be excluded the building. Clearly, there fore, little thanks are due to the authorities for whatever pecuniary advantage the exhibitors have derived. I fear but few of the exhibitors have derived any. But what matter it every man of us make his fortune? Assume, if you please, that we are all actuated by the low and grovelling motives you have attributed to us. Let the illustrious President of the Commission know that not a particle of patriotism prompted the response to the appeal which was made to us. Tell him he has uttered fulsome flattery in the language with which he has spoken of the support accorded to his scheme, for that private and personal motives alone induced that support. Reiterate, if you please, this libel upon your countrymen, yet still you touch not the right tor which we contend. We say that the exhibitors lent their pro perty to the Royal Commissioners for the purpose of exhibition. No intimation was ever made to the ex hibitors that they would at any time be denied access to that property. The exhibitors were led to believe that the same rules governing similar exhibitions would prevail in the conduct of this. Every previous exhibition of the same kind had accorded unrestricted admission to contributors, and therefore, in the absence of notice that a contrary rule would prevail at the present one, there was an implied agreement with the exhibitors that they would receive the usual privileges accorded upon such occasions. But the exhibitors have more to sustain their rights. It was distinctly stated in the publications of the Commissioners, that with the exhibitors them selves would rest the exhibition of their goods; yet why should I labour again to show that the exclu sion of exhibitors is the withholding of a right, a viola tion of a custom, or a breach of good faith, and an act most impolitic as regards the interests of the Exhibition? My intention was merely to reply to your statement that the exhibitors were the only obliged parties, and I will therefore consent to sink the question of right and con tent myself with submitting the following case for your consideration. A friend asks you to travel from Corwar to Hyde-park, and tells you that by so doing you will help him to carry out some object he has in view. You consent to do so, and, at great inconvenience, set out at once, upon your journey. On your way you are in vited to earn, by the exercise of your talent or inge nuity, a 101. note, and you do so. You arrive at your destination and aro warmly complimented and thanked for the alacrity with which you proceeded to oblige your friend. He esteems himself under an obligation to you, and you naturally conclude that if you asked him to oblige you by the observance of any ordinary civility of life, he would do so. You relate the good fortune ex perienced on your journey, and your friend instantly replies—" Oh! then I consider I am under no obligation to you. True, you have done what I asked you, but you have, whilst proceeding to do it, put 101. in your pocket which otherwise might never have reached it—that will pay every expense of your journey." I know not what your indignation would be at such treatment, nor is it necessary to de scribe what mine would be under similar circumstances; but suppose you started upon a like errand for another friend, and he went out of his way to prevent your earning that 101., but you nevertheless did so, would you not pronounce it " too bad" if you were told by that friend that the fact of your having earned that sum in defiance of his efforts to prevent your doing so, absolved him from all obligation to you, and laid you under a great one to him? I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, H. G. HARRIS. Exhibtors' Committee-room, 528, Oxford street. of ACCIDENT TO LORD' DUNGANNON.—We are sorry to learn that intelligence was received on Friday evening, at the town mansion of Lord Dungannon, that his Lordship had been thrown from his horse while riding in his park, in Denbighshire, and had fractured his kg, in consequence of which Lady Dungannon left town immediately to join his lordship. CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOIL DISEASES OF Ting CHEST.—The corporation of London have munificently granted a further sum of 100 guineas in ai , l of the funds for the erection of the new hospital at the Victoria Park, the foundation stone of which was laid a few days since by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. (EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 2d, the House made pro gress with the County Courts, and the Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill, in Committee. On Thursday the Oath of Abjuration (Jews) Bill, after a number of ostentatious protests on the part of opponents, serving only to display the weakness of their side, was read a third time and passed, without a divi sion. The Greenwich election was alluded to, in a way that throws light on the peculiar processes of reasoning which may be pressed into the service of a failing cause. The reason of the election of a Jew at Greenwich, was represented as being the circumstance, that both the candidates were Liberals and in favour of the admission of Jews to Parliament. The further circumstance which nobody was expected to see, being that no opponent to the admission of Jews dared show his face. The representative for Greenwich was expected to present himself on Thursday to take his seat; but it appeared ho had determined to postpone it till after the decision of the Lords. This may be polite, but it may be doubted whether it is politic. The Lords will only take huff at the notion of being capitulated with. On Friday the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill was brought on for third reading. Tee Member for Abingdon (Sir F. Thesiger) made au able use of the last bull of the Pope, and the still more sp'cey document of the Archbishop of Florence under dace of 9 June, which ere to be found in the Times of Tuesday l July. It is quite clear that the Pope tied his advisers, like able strategists, counting on the support they have received from the most active part of the Dissenters and Ultra- Liberals, have determined that the morsel to be swal lowed, liko that of the prophet, shall be rolled in as much dirt as they are able to contrive. We are put up for sale by the Pope, for one hundred days liberty of fornication, or any other sin more to the taste of the purchaser. And the Archbishop of Florence concentrates the offer into an elixir, like the drop in the middle of the frozen bottle of champagne, by offering one day's indulgence is discretion, to any who will engage in the holy work. What particular day's work, and what particular choice of day, did the Archbishop point at? Was it to chase the day of going to the Exhibition, and shoot at the Queen? Whether it was this or not, God and the Archbishop know. But it is for the dullest of man kind to know, that it is within the meaning of the terms. The House of Commons, as I have often tole you, is a place for the concealment of ideas; if a friend of yours had tried to say this there, he would have been put down as an impertinent. But there is no need to con ceal the opinion out of it, that an authority which thus openly sells us for sin, ought to be treated like the authority of the Sheikh the imperfect philology of our forefathers denominated the " Old Man of the Moun tain." It is possible that many of his followers were good kind of men, "forward in field and pleasant in hall;" but they were bound to execute the commands of their mountain chief whatever they might be, with reserva tion only of the possibility that if the order came to be di rected specifically to themselves, they might throw up their allegiance. It might, or might not, be politic and wise, to place such a sect under general disabilities and incapacities. But however impolitic or impossible it might be to be severe on individuals, it would be but common sense to keep an eye upon the mandates from the Mountain centre. Suppose, now, that the followers of this Chief had pleaded, that it was always known that they bore alle giance to such and such a power. That it had never been disguised and never would be, that his commands had been in times past of such and such a nature, and had been obeyed by those who chose to obey them, as they would be again. That consequently there was no medium between entire refusal of toleration to the fol lowers of the Old Man aforesaid, and full liberty of re ceiving his commands. Would not this have been, word for word, the argument urged in the late debates, and backed by those of other sects who, under the pretext of religious liberty, have ohosen to take the part of allies? Is there, for instance, at this moment, an oppo- nent of the Government's measure, who, if there had been laid on the table a copy of the medal struck by Gregory XIII. on occasion of the 17GONOTTORVAI STRAGES which we call the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, would have dared to deny, that what was done then was right, that if ordered again it must be obeyed again, by virtue of the infallible rectitude of the orderer? Here, then, is your position. You are treating with men who believe in un authority, which in the present hour of supposed improvement vauntingly sells sin, and holds out the license for mysterious and unmeasured wickedness for less than thirty pieces of silver;—you are told that Totzel and his iudm gences shall be revived upon you, in order that fair warning may be given you that you shall bolt the whole hog or none,—that you shall lay no flattering unction to your soul, that it was any smoothed-down porker or smug suckling which was offered to your digestion, but the old original wild boar out of the forest, bristles and tusks and all, with which you were to make a treaty tor passage through your intestinal canals. It is not, therefore, because anybody has refused the extension of equal liberties to the Roman Catholics, but because the head or heads of the Roman Catholics have refused to rest content with their position unless accom panied with the acknowledgment of the most abject sub mission to their supremacy. They say, it is our religion to believe that you are schismatics and heretics, and as such to be brought to an auto daje a t th e Church's con venience and not before. It is our religion to believe that your bishops are non-entities and your sovereign a usurper, because unblessed by the only legitimate source of power. Either admit us with this, or we are per secuted gentlemen. We give you fair notice. We refuse to come in without all our ten horns along with us. We will not leave a hoof behind, of anything pertaining to our state. We come, as the Hanoverian woman said, " for all your goods;" and you are mere simpletons, if when we teke them you set up the childish plea that you did not know. If anybody, then, should trouble himself with ask ing you why I voted against introducing the Member for Abingdon's Amendments when they were proposed, and voted afterwards against their being struck out, say it was because new evidence had been given in the in terval, of the madness we should be guilty of in not treat ing an enemy as an enemy, after all the pains he has taken to tell us so. -The Amendments of the Member for Abingdon were retained by majorities of 208 to 129, and 175 to 124; and the Bill finally passed by 263 votes to 46. The question is now with the Lords. We shall see whether Cobbett wa s right when he said, " Thank God for a House of Lords;" and if the Lords like to amend the Bill, they can take the majorities on the Member for Abingdon's Amendments as the measure of what may be calculated on in the Commons. When the motion was made for the Bill being read a third time, the mass of the Irish opponents repeated their " ostentatious withdrawal." It appears that their plan was to come back at some time of their own, and that through some mismanagement of their own they did not come. A manifest intention (as indeed in the shock of political conflicts is inevitable and excusable) having been displayed to construct out of this a charge of un fair dealing on the part of some or other of their oppo nents, I have only to proffer myself as a witness if occa sion should arise, as to the extreme absurdity and puerile unfairness of any such attempted tail-piece to what may without malignity be described as an unsuccessful etre ;egem of tho complainants. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. London, July 7, lB5l. BEDISIINSTER COLLIERY ACCIDEIN T.—The sub scription raised for the purpose of rewarding North and the men who laboured for the release of the buried Co liers, and also for giving some assistance to the colliers themselves, was yesterday closed, the collectors considering the amount raised—about 5 , /. sufficient to meet the circumstances the case; and we have been requested by them to thank the public for their benevolent aid, and to intimate that no fur ther contributions will be required.—Bristol Mercury.

THE QUEEN'S STATE VISIT TO HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. A state visit was paid on Saturday by the Queen and Prince Albert and their suite to htr Majesty's 'lneatre, on which occasion her Majesty was plea.od to command the performance of Thalberg's new opera I lorinda, the production of which on Thursday at this theatre had been honoured by her Majesty's presence. Long before seven o'clock the whole hue of the route let:Cling from Buckingham Palace to the theatre was lined by spec tators, the crowd being more dense is the neighbour hood of the theatre. The utmost order and decorum was, however, observed. There were numerous bodies of police stationed along the line of route, and a guard of honour of the foot guards was stationed at the Royal entrance, of the theatre and in the vestibule to receive her 1 1 ...1sjcsty. At a quarter before eight o'clock her Majesty and Prince Albert, in the state carriage, attended by her suite in eight other of the royal carriages, and escorted by a troop of Horse Guards, arrived at the royal entrance to the theatre. In the state carriage with her Majesty and Prince Albert were the Duchess of Norfolk, us Mistress of the Robes, and the Duke of Norfolk, as Master of the Horse. The arrival of the royal party was the signal for a hearty burst of cheering from the assembled multitude. Her M ajesty was received at the royal entrance by the director of the opera, Benjamin Lumley, Esq., and by Captain Robinson, of the lion. Artillery Company, the treasurer of the establishment. Tne Royal Chamber lain preceded the royal party with wax lights, in mas sive silver candlesticks, in his hands, walking backward. Her Majesty then passed rapidly up the stairs, which were profusely decorated with flowering plants in full blossom, and evergreens of the richest description, to the tiring-room, whence, having been divested of her carriage costume, she proceeded to the royal box. Within the thea tre the preparations for the reception of her Majesty were on a scale of unusual splendour, and were characterised by the usual good taste that distinguishes the management in this house. The Royal box was lined with white and blue silk in alternate stripes, and the large boxes on either side belonging to her late Majesty the Queen Dowager, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, were added as wings on either side, and included in the general decorations. The front was hung w i th alternate festoons of crimson and blue velvet, bordered with gold fringe. A richly gilt and decorated moulding ran along the top, in the centre of which was placed the crown; the pillars on either side were also gilt, and sur mounted by gold shields and armorial bearings, and on the front panel, on a medallion, was displayed the Royal Arms. A large bouquet of rare exotics, and handsomely bound books of the opera were laid in the Royal box for the use of her Majesty and the Prince. Two of the bouffetiers in their state dresses and halberts were, as usual, stationed in front, As soon as the Queen made her appearance in front of the box, a burst of cheering broke forth from all parts of the house—boxes, pit, and galleries, joining hear tily in the enthusiastic demonstrations of loyalty which breaking through all the trammels of operatic etiquette, were evidently as cordial and spontaneous as they must have been gratifying to the Sovereign. Simultaneously with the entrance of the royal party a brilliant flood of light suddenly poured into the house from the large chandelier, all the audience rose, the orchestra struck up the National Anthem, and the cur tain rising displayed the whole of the corps drantatique grouped on the stage. Her Majesty, who appeared at first somewhat nervous, as if taken by surprise at the unusual fervour and enthusiasm of her reception in so aristocratic an assemblage, bowed repeatedly, and with the grace so peculiarly her own. The cheering was again and again renewed, and then the National Anthem was sung, a round of cheering following each verse. The,scene at this moment was extremely brilliant and striking. All the ladies of the royal suite were in full evening costume, and the noblemen and gentlemen in military, naval, or official uniform, and wearing their orders and decora tions. Most of the audience were also in full dress or military costume, and the high character of the assem blage, the vast and richly decorated theatre, the music, and all the other accessories of the scene presented a coup d'oeil which for grandeur and elegance has seldom been surpassed. Her Majesty, who looked in her usual excellent health, wore a light blue satin dress, trimmed with deep lace; a head dress, composed of a wreath of wild blush roses and foliage interspersed with diamonds; a necklace, stomacher, and earrings of large brilliants, and the ribbon of the Garter across her shoulder. The Prince was attired in a field marshal's uniform, and wore the insignia of the Garter and other decorations. The ladies in the royal suite occupied the box on the right of her Majesty, and the gentlemen on the left. Two other boxes on either side were also filled by members of the suite and pages. It is needless to say that the house was crowded in every part, and we under stand that three or four guineas were, in many instances, paid for single stalls. The last act terminated precisely at a quarter past eleven o'clock, and the moment the curtain fell her Ma jesty rose, bowed two or three times to the audience, and retired. Loud and repeated cheers again broke forth from all parts of the house, end the National Anthem 1 was again sung by the whole of the company. Her Majesty was conducted to her carriage in the same state as upon her arrival, and notwithstanding the immense crowds assembled outside, the carriages were, by the great exertions of the police, drawn up in rapid succes sion, and before half-past eleven. the Royal cortege was again on its way back to Buckingham Palace. MISS KATE LODER'S CONCERT. This accomplished pianiste gave a matinee musicale on Saturday at the New Beethoven Rooms, in Queen Anne-street, when a host el artistic talent supported the fair beneficiare. Among the instrumentalists were Ernst, Richardson, J. Day, Dando, and Hancock, and the prin cipal vocal parts were sustained by M.adlles Catherine Hayes, Williams, Dolby, and Hill; Messieurs Bodda, Reichart, T. Williams and Ferrari. Miss Hayes gave her celebrated "Ah mon fits" from the Prop/lite with exquisite purity and expression, and also sang for the first time a pleasing ballad composed expressly for her by Macfarren (who presided at the pianoforte on this occasion) entitled "The Lonely One." To criticise or eulogise Catherine ayes is now superfluous. In florid vocalisation, sweetness, and feeling, she stands unsurpassed, and we congratulate our American friends on the rich treat in store for them, confident of the delightful sensation which the Irish linnet, as well as the Swedish nightin gale, will cause among them. At the concert given in honour of the American Minister, by Mr. Peabody, on the 9th inst., Miss Hayes sung her favourite, "Ab! mon fill; . ' and in a trio, from I Lombardi, together with Gardoni and Lablache; and a duo, from Le Ire Nozze, with the former, elicited the genuine enthusiasm of that brilliant assemblage o; rank and fashion. MR. LUMLEY'S FETE. The manager of her Majesty's Theatre paid, on Friday, his usual annual homage to his fashionable and literary patrons, in the form of a de : joiner et ête artibtiques. The fineness cf the afternoon, which was brilliant, but not sultry, attracted a large at tendance at the grounds attached to Mr. Lumley's resi dence, nest. Hammersmith. With his usual tact, the manager of her Majesty's Theatre availed himself of one of the days appointed for the Thames regatta, and, in consequence, among the entertainments provided was the spectacle of some boat-racing, which afforded much diversion to the spectators. The grounds include a pro menade by the side of the river, which, being studded with craft of every description, from the steam-boat to the wager-boat, presented a very lively picture. But there were various other entertainments arranged. Bands of music, military and civil, were engaged, and performed during the afternoon. At dusk, coloured fires reminded one of the finale of many an opera, and some fireworks from a barge on the river lighted up the scenery with their unwonted glare. Illumination lamps, of divers colours, were strung across portions of the grounds, and a platform for dancing was laid down near the house. Refreshments were procurable during the whole fete, both al fresco and iu the house itself; rn3, in short, every provision was made fur the gratification of the subscribers to, and supporters of, the theatre under Mr. Lumley's direction. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. On Saturday morning the Queen and Prince resumed their inspection of the interior, and examined the two north galleries in the western half of the building. Nearly a thousand exhibitors whose contributions are placed there were assembled in their respective allot ments to receive the royal visitors. On the 12th the Royal Commission, the Executive Committee, and a large party of distinguished foreigners at present in this country are invited by Mr. William Brown, M.P., to Liverpool, to dine with him on board the American steamer Atlantic, which, for that purpose, has been courteously placed at his disposal by her com mander, Captain West. Mr. Brown, besides doing the honours of the occasion, as host at a grand entertain ment, provides his guests with the means of seeing the river and port to advantage, placing a steamer at their disposal at an early hour for that purpose. Such libe rality is worthy the reputation of our merchant princes. The trip is, we hear, likely to be combined with a plea sant excursion on the previous day by the Chester and Holyhead line, in order to visit the Britannia-bridge. The receipts at the doors on Saturday amounted to 1,565/. 155., and the numbers entering the building were 11,747. During the last few days nearly 360 of the most deserving boys and girls in the Jews' Free School, Spitalfields, were by the liberality of the patrons of that institution enabled to visit the Crystal Palace. AN EMINENT WAGGET.—The Committee of the House of Commons appointed to report upon the law of Mortmain requested the advantage of such information as Doctor Wiseman could afford them. The doctor (it is said) begged to consult his love of retirement by not appearing in so public a capacity as that of a witness before a Committee of the House of Commons. He suggested, however, that his solicitor, being more conversant with the law, would prove a better witness. The solicitor was accordingly called, but stopped short when he came to the facts, alleging . that 'IL' answers would betray professional confidence. The Cl i t : mittee allowed the objection as far as it regarded clizesu torney, but felt that it was necessary that they silfT e j f. f n ply the deficiency by examining the doctor J 1 virtue of their powersend for 7, ° and re cord," they therefore issued the summons P ers " ' ' p'grchairman ; i li a the doctor's unsatisfied in but it is said that Golden-square was innocent presence, and that the said summons remains the hands of the messenger.

Mr. Horace St. John continues his tl History of the British Con quests in India." He has now arrived at the period of the Rohilla war, which iniquitous transaction he denounces in terms of just indignation. The "History of the Campaign in America" is continued, and we have besides several papers of great merit on profes sional subjects. BENTLEY. The opening article of Bentley, entitled " London, Paris, and New York," (which should rather have been entitled simply New York, inasmuch as it relates ex clusively to that island city) is the most valuable ma gazine article that has appeared for some time past. Doing full justice to the many good qualities of the United States society in New York,it does nest attempt to disguise its faults, but by showing whence those faults arise, point out how they may be corrected ; its social faults, however, are as nothing compared to its social virtues, and when such is the case " Non ego pancis offendar maculis." It would be well for London if, with regard to the water supply for instance, its inhabitants were to follow the example of the New Yorkers. Until 1842 the supply of water to New York was scanty and bad, in that year the Croton Aqueduct, which had taken five years to construct was opened,. and the supply has ever since been ample and excellent. This great work is thus described— " Th e Great Aqueduct is forty-one miles in length. commencing with a dam across the Croton river, six miles above its mouth. This raises the water one hundred and sixty-six feet above tide level, forming a lake or reservoir of four hundred acres in extent, con taining five hundred million gallons, above the level that would allow the aqueduct to discharge thirty-five million gallons per day. From the Croton Dam to Llarlem River, something less than thirty-three miles, the aqueduct is an uninterrupted conduit of hydraulic masonry, of stone and brick ; the greatest interior width, seven feet five inches ; the greatest heiOit, eight feet five inches ; the floor an inverted arch. The com missioners and chief engineers passed through its whole length on foot, as soon as it was completed ; and, when the water was admitted, traversed it again in a boat built for the purpose. It crosses the Harlem River by a bridge of stone, fourteen hundred and fifty feet long, and one 'wand and fourteen feet above high-water mark. At the receiving reservoir forty miles from the Dam, the masonry gives place to iron pipes, through which the water is conveyed two miles further, to the distribut ing reservoir, from which point it runs, by means of several hundred miles of pipes to every corner of the city. On the lino of the aqueduct are one hundred and fourteen culverts, and sixteen tunnels , and ventilators occur at the distance of one mile apart throughout the route. The receiving reservoir covers thirty-five acres, and contains one hundred and fifty millior imperial gal lons. The distributing reservoir has walls forty-nine feet in height, and contains twenty million gallons. The supply to each citizen is at present almost un limited, and afforded at a moderate annual rate. The managers complain to tne Common Council of the enor mous waste during the summer, when ' s ixty imperial gallons each twenty-four hours to every inhabitant; are delivered. But even at this enormous rate the quantity is ample, and it can be increased at will by new reser voirs. No decent house is now constructed without a bath, an advantage to the health and comfort of the city, hardly to be overrated. Fountains adorn almost all the public places of any importance." The lovers of angling will be delighted with the paper on pike fishing, which is written in a true Waltonian spirit; and the lover of art will be pleased with the excellent description of the Earl of Elles mere's collection of pictures. The present num o ber is rich in reminisences of travel: we have Leon Gozlan's excurson to Waterloo ' Reminiscences of La Plata ; stray leaves from the Levant, and a voyage to the Spanish Main ; besides a general review of the re cently published books of travels. THE GENTLEMAN'S. Mr. Peter Cunningham, whose admirably told story of Nell Gwynne is continued in the present number, has, by inspecting the accounts of the Pay master of Works and Buildings to King Charles 11. from April, 1676, to March, 1677, discovered that the carved pedestal of the statue of King Charles I. at Charing-cross, is the work not of Grinlin Gibbons, as has been generally supposed, but of Joshua Mar shall, Master Mason of the Works to King Charles 11. The extracts from the curious Day-books of Dr. Henry Sampson are concluded; we hope that a perfect edition of this very curious work will be ere long given to the world. The paper on the present state of the Record Office we commend to the serious attention of the authorities. This number is illus trated by portraits of the two sons of Nell Gwynne and by various archeological drawings. WORKS OF DOUGLAS JERROLD.

WORTHY OF JONATIIAN.—In the briefest corre spondence known, only two figures were used; the first con tained a note of interrogation (?), implying "Is there any news ?" The answer was a cypher (0), " None." This was clever; but neighbour Shuttleworth, in Nottingham market - place, beats it. He has on his chimney two large T's, one painted black, the other green, to intimate that he sells black and green tcas.—Nottingham Review. FATAL AFFRAY WITH THE POLICE IN SHOE-LANE. —During the whole of yesterday (Sunday) the upper part of Shoe-lane was the scene of a frightful uproar, which has unfortunately ended in the death of a man named John Hogan, who expired this morning. The following are the particulars of the case, as far as they can be ascertained : 'lle place where the riot broke out is Plumptre-court, which is opposite the churchyard of St. Andrew's, Holborn, in Shoe-lane. It is wholly inhabited by the lower orders of Irish; and about midnight, on Saturday, a general quarrel seems to have broken out amongst them. The row was so great at three o'clock on Sunday morning, that a body of police were sent for. The belligerents made a determined re sistance to the police, and several of them were severely kicked and injured. It became necessary, it is said, for them to use their staffs, and it is alleged that Hogan, who is now dead, was struck by one of them on the skull. Mr. Payne, the coroner, has had notice of the death of Hogan. Tun NEW SUGAR DUTIES.—The new and reduced rates of duty on all descriptions of colonial and foreign sugars, which come into operation to-day (the 7th inst.), are expected to cause the deliveries of sugars from bond to be large, and it is expected that the quantities of foreign refined ana other sugars for home use will be so great that ar rangements have been made for such deliveries to take place to a later hour than usual, in order to meet the requirements of the trade. As this fresh reduction of the duties brings the rates to the lowest standard provided for in the scheme of the late lamented Premier with respect to the duties on sugar so far as concerns the supplies from the British plantations, the effect of the measure will now be evinced to a propor tionate extent, although the complete effect will necessarily not be shown until the still further reductions on foreign and other high-class sugars assimilate the duties leviable on them to the sugars imported from the British colonies. The retail price of first-rate relined or lump sugar is now less than half the price it was before the reunion of the sugar duties took place, and the public will doubtless benefit to a still further extent on this fresh reduction of the duties on all classes of foreign sugar. REPRESENTATION OF KNARESIIOROUGU. - The death of the Right Honourable W. S. Lascelles has caused a vacancy in the representation of the borough of Knaresborough. A Conservative candidate has been found in the - person of a young — barrister, MT. Themes Collins, jun., the son of the Rev. Thomas Collins, an esteemed minister of the Established Church at Knaresborough. The Liberals, it is said, intend to bring forward Mr. Watson, Q.C. The constituency of the borough is somewhere about 250. At the election in 1847 the numbers at the close of the poll stood thus :—The Hon. W. S. Lascelles, Liberal, 158 ; Mr. J. P. Westhead, Liberal, 128 ; Mr. A. Lawson, Conservative, 111. Thus two Liberals were returned, and out of 228 electors 220 voted. Mr. A• Lawson and Mr. W. B. Ferrand, both Tories, represente d Knaresborough from 1841 to 1847. PORT PHILIP.:— PLYMO UTH , S ATURD AY. The merchant ship Stebonheath, Captain John Sergeant , _fr om Twist .

EIGB- sembled at _, Tovl3.—A select party of gen tlemen ~„.,1 15 to w't 1 eele's Coffee-house, Fleet-street, on ‘....t5e....-..., 1 ness , • a series of experiments with au inge -Tous little stove, invented by Mr. Rigby. The stove, which 1 r ",, ser ab es in form an exaggerated chess " castle," is only about 6 inches in height by 4 inches in diameter, and does not v. eigh more than 2lbs. Its principal peculiarity is a eon tiivanee by w hi ch spirits are consumed, the amount of heat thus generated being placed under the perfect control of the operator by means of a small screw. Whether economy or speed be taken as the test of its capabilities, it certainly appeared to be the most successful portable stove which bus yet appeared before the public. COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—Another of these sad cc cnrrences, unhappily not unfrequent in mining districts, took place on the morning of Tuesday last, at the colliery of Mr. George Dudley, at the Five Ways, Cradley, Worcester shire, while, as we hear, the safety lamp was being used for the purpose of testing the presence of gas. It has resulted in the death of nine persons. Ihe bodies of four of them were brought out of the pit quite dead. The others have since died trom the effects of the injuries sustained. The applications to the Lord Chancellorart for of t he honour of Queen's Counsel amounted , on the p named some of the equity bar, to above twenty. We have ~ s , , . successful candidates, but we understand that DI I.orol6hip art of soaae others is much pressed by influence on the p if , and that the list will in all probability have two not three additions. ~~~ MAGAZINE Plgb 390 Piet.
