ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. By the Royal Mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Lang, which arrived this afternoon, we have advices from New York by telegraph, via Halifax, to the 25th ult. The American steam-ship Atlantic, hence, arrived at New York on the 21st, after an extraor dinary run ; and the mail steam-ship Asia, at Halifax, on the 22d ult The new Cabinet under the administration of Pre sident Fillmore was completed. It consists of Daniel Webster, Secretary of State; Corwin, Secretary of the Treasury ; Pearce, Secretary of the Interior ; Bates, Secretary of War ; Chittenden, Attorney- General ; and Hall, Postmaster-General. The delegate to Congress from New Mexico had been refused a seat in the House by a majority of 11 votes. The treaty with Mexico relative to the Tehuantepec route had been completed with provisions similar to those of the Nicaragua treaty. It had been decided to execute Professor Webster on the 3()q.h ult. There was no hope of a com mutation. We have later advices from California by the Cres cent City, arrived at New York, from Chagres. An other very extensive conflagration had destroyed pro perty to the amount of 5,000,000 dolls. The Crescent City brought 180,000 dolls., principally the property of passengers. Mining prospects were never better, additional discoveries having been made. The emi gration to the mines was exceedingly extensive. Re ported discoveries of extensive deposits of gold in Oregon were again prevalent. The whole Atlantic seaboard had been ravaged by , a severe storm : many lives and much valuable pro perty had been destroyed. The ship Elizabeth, from Leghorn to Gibraltar, ran ashore and lost some of her passengers, including Celesta Faulina, of some ; George Bradford, of Germany ; Count and Countess Ossili and child, of Florence. From Kingston, Jamaica, we have advices to the 15th ult., being seven days later than those brought to Southampton by the Dee. From De Cordova's Intelligences we learn that a better feeling had sprung up, consequent on the supposition that arrivals for some weeks would be to a limited extent. Holders therefore refrained from pressing their stocks on the market. The weather was exceedingly hot, with occasional showers of rain. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JULY 23. The continued high rates of foreign exchange pre vented operations in them except for actual payment, and there does not appear to be much prospect of lower rates at present, although no advance is anticipated. We quote London 110 i to 1 lei; Paris, 5 22i to 5 21i; Hamburgh, 35i to 36; Bremen, 60; Amsterdam, 40i to 40;1. Cotton—Our last review was per Europa, the 16th inst. The sales effected from th e 16 t h to the 19th amounted to 4,900 bales, at full previous quotations. On the 19th the America's news was received by it h telegraph, and 1,500 bales were sold at fully old rates to d s ame time there was generally a feeling of disappoint went at the moderate advance obtained in Liverpool,. r in view of the unfavourable position of the growing (o advised from this side , an d the favourable state of ' trade and and diminishing stocks held abroad. Breadstuffs —Flour: and wheat steady, with rather more doing, including the usual variety of domestic brands, at about the same rates. Sales of Canadian were light, and the stock in first hands reduced; holders were asking better prices. Be) and a lot of Geunesco wheat we heard of no sake of moment. Corn sold pr e tty freely at about previous rate s, including low and high mixed, with some parcels of round. There was no change in rye or oats. Iron—The market for foreign i E on is firm, Scotch pig being 20 dolls. to 20 dolls. 50c; nglish, 36 dolls. The market for American iron is dull. Freights — The amount offering is not large, and we have no alteration to notice in rates. Cotton to Liver pool, ic.; flour and meal, 9 , 1.; heavy goods, 9s. to 10s.; grain, 3s. To Havre, ashes, 4 dolls. to 5 dolls. To London, tobacco, 17s. 6d.; flour and naval stores, Is.; heavy goods, 155.; provisions, 3s. The letters per Atlantic, four days later, came to hand yesterday (Sunday). Tepday there has been a very animated demand, the sales amounting to upwards of 6,000 bales, at regular prices, varying from I} to f above the annexed quotations. ordinary to gold ordinary Atlantic, 12:1- to 12k; mid dling to good middling, 12'1 to ; middling fair to fair, 131 to fully fair to good fair. 131 to 14i. keep faith with any existing cre.litor who might demand payment of his money, has not been realised; and that there being no other remedy than a new legislative enact ment to enlarge the powers of the Commissioners ap pointed under the 13th Victoria, chapter 26, it became necessary to convoke the Legislature at this inconve nient period of the year. We still cling to the hope that its aid Majesty's G overnment may be induced to lend aid to lighten the burdens of this impoverished colony,. at least by givi ng i ts countenance, with the sanction of the Imperial Parli ament, to the raising the requisite sum on loan, on the most reasonable terms, based un the appropriation of an adequate portion of the island re venue to give security to the lenders. The House con tinues fully alive to the importance of upholding public credit, and will proceed with measures requisite for that purpose, to carry oat the purpose of that Loan Act of last session, which has been found inadequate, and to take such other steps as may be necessary to remedy the difficulties respecting the Receiver General's office, to which your Excellency has made allusion.' An attempt was made in the House to substitute another address rather less temperate in its tone, delaying the consideration of the Loan Bill until the usual period for the meeting of the goose; bat the amendment was lost by a large majority. The House made the necessary amendment to the Loan Bill, and also to the Receiver-General's Bill, reducing the amount of security to forty thousand pounds. The session only lasted a few days. Vacancies have occurred in the representation of several parishes by the retirement of members, some of whom have accepted offices of emolument. A little interest was excited in Sc. Catherine on ac count of the resignation of the Hon. Custos Turner, who threw up his commission in consequence of his Ex cellency the Governor appointing a magistrate for the parish, of whom the custus did not approve, and without previously consulting him on the subject.

GREY TowN, Mos,:wrro, JUNE 24.—The inha bitants here were hourly in expectation of an attack from the Nicaraguans, influenced by the Americans, but before the Dee's departure all fears were dispelled, news having arrived from the interior that all was then quiet. The American Chargé d'Affaires, Mr. Squires, left for the States, under the direction of her Britannic Msjestys Acting Consul-General and Agent, Dr. Green. Grey Town has assumed a much more regular and organized state, though from the many interruptions of the Nicara guans, it has not progressed so rapidly as the settlers anticipated. Messrs. Beshar and Co. have contracted for and hold the Customs' Duties for 800 dolls. per month. The ship canal is still under consideration. Clla.CtiEs.—Largestimbers of passengers continue to pour in here for the gold regions. Preparations are being made for the railroad, about 200 Carthagenian labourers were landed for the works. A depot has been formed at Navy Bay, opposite the old town of Chagres; the Americans have formed a regular settle ment; unfortunately it is the resort of the lowest cha racters, And scenes of a desperate nature frequently occur. NORTHERN ISLANDS.—These islands were visited by a most terrific gale on the 12th and 13th of July. The extent of the damage has not been ascertained, but it is supposed to be very considerable. We shall not get the particulars until the arrival of the next mail. Stations of her Majesty's Ships.—Jamaica: Imaum, Commander Bennet.

When the packet was leaving the former port. and passing the American steam frigate Mississippi, her band struck up " God save the Queen," which was acknowledged by our dipping our colours, and they dipped theirs, the officers of each ship taking off their caps to the compliment to each other. After leaving Cadiz some hours, two muskets, followed by a shot from a larger gun, were fired at us by an apparent garde costa. The latter cut away a rope about twenty f.-et from the quarter deck.

Messrs. Penning, wharling,rs, have petitioned the Bridge house Committee to order the removal of the platform of the considered said pier, which merely rests on part of the public or watennen's steps, not interfering with the adjoining wharf in the least degree, being placed there by the watennen, whose means of support are now in great measure circumscribed to the profits arising from such accommodation.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON. AUG.. 4.—The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Dee, Captain Man, arrived this morning at five o'clock, from the West Indies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieutenant Ray, R.N., Admiralty agent. On her homeward voyage the Dee experienced strong head winds from Jamaica to St. Thomas, and then a strong gale from the S.W., with heavy thunder and lightning. The latest, dates brought by the Dee, are Chagres, June 28; CArthagena, July 1; Jamaica, 8; Demerara, 6; Trinidad, 8; Barbadoes, 11; Grenada, 9; Porto Rico, 13; St. Thomas,'ls; La Guayra, 7; Fayal, 28; Antigua, 12; Jacmel, 10; Santa Martha, 21; Grey Town, June 26; Panama, 26.

JAMAICA. The Dee left Kingston Harbour at three o'clock on the afternoon of July 8. We have our customary ad vices up to the latest moments. The Legislature of the island was opened on the 25th of June, when the Governor, Sir Charles Grey, ad dressed the two branches in the following speech : " Gentlemen of the Council—Mr. Speaker, and Gen tlemen of the Assembly! You are aware that at the close of the last session an Act was passed, namely, the 13th Vic., chap. 26, of which the moat immediate object was to raise, by way of loan, a sufficient sum to enable the Receiver-General to pay off the island certificates falling due this year, to the amount of between eighty and ninety thousand pounds. To that extent, at least, it was hoped that the guarantee might be obtained, which her Dlajeay's Government was already authorised by the Imperial Parliament to give to a loan of greater amount for other purposes, which purposes the island Legislature appeared to think of less importance than the punctual observance of its engagements with the public creditor; and it is, perhaps, to be regretted that the Act was not passed , earlier, so as to have enabled me to bring it under the consideration of her Majesty's Ministers, before the meeting of the Imperial Parliament. Coming to them, as it did, in the middle of a ses sion, we ought not perhaps to be much astonished that the Home Government has been unwilling to apply for authority to guarantee a loan for any other purposes than those already specified in the Imperial enactment. But the consequences are important; because, in the ex pectation that the guarantee would be obtained, you pro hibited your loan commissioners in London from offering any higher rate of interest than four per cent., and they have informed the Board of Commissioners here, that without the guarantee, it is impossible to effect a loan at that rate. " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly—lt is a great misfortune that the public creditors of the colony should sustain any disappointment, but it is in your ' power to make up for it, and everything depends on what Sou may choose to do. The provision which is made in the Import Duties Act, 13 Vie., c. 1, sec. 3, secures the payment during this year of the stipulated interest on the certificates; and as these instruments are in form ne gotiable if the value of them in exchange could be sus tained at par, the holders would know no real loss, but might obtain in the market the repayment of the principal moneys, which you are obliged to confess they cannot obtain directly from you at this appointed time. There are two measures which, without any loss to the colony, or increase of charge upon its revenues, could scarcely fail to produce that result, if they were to be adopted with a willingness and unanimity which should give assurance to the world of a prevailing intention amongst the in habitants of this island that no one should suffer loss for having put their confidence in them. The duties with which you have charged me, under the Act of the 13th Victoria, chapter 26—a charge which was not of my own seeking, and from which I shall not object to be at any time relieved—must be my apology for pointing your attention to those measures. The first would be, to give to the holders of existing certificates the same permanent as curity fur the interest upon them which you have offered by the Act to any person who may advance the money for paying those certificates off. The second would be to authorise, by express enactment, thatwhich I have reason to believe is now done by direction of the Commissioners of Public Accounts—namely, that the holders of such certificates bearing five per cent. interest us may become due without y our being able to discharge them shall be paid what is called the legal rate of in terest, or that which, in the absence of express stipula tions, is allowed upon a debt by the courts of law and equity in this island—namely, six per cent. — that being the rate also at which, as a maxi mum, I apprehend you should now authorise the Commissioners in London to effect any loan which is not to be guaranteed by the Imperial Parliament. Seeing that the import duties, out of which the permanent fund enacted by the Act of 13th Vic., chap. 26, is constituted, are producing much larger returns in this year than in the last, and that there are fair prospects of an increasir'g commerce, es pecially with the Spanish Main and Central America, I cannot believe, if those two measures were to be adopted, that any negotiable securities of the colony could be kept below par in the London market by any other cause than such doubts or uncertainty as to the intentions of this Legislature, as its proceedings may at any time either produce or prevent. There are other provisions which might be introduced with advantage into any Bill in aid of the Loan Act of the last session, or which you may substitute for it; but these you would probably prefer to originate amongst yourselves. There is one other subject, however, which, whether it can be incorporated with the Loan Act, or will require a separate enactment, you have yourselves compelled me to bring under your notice; I refer to the repre sentation which the members of the honourable House of Assembly, in their capacity as Commissioners of Public Accounts, have recently made of the difficulty which the Receiver-General has freely stated he experiences in his endeavour to find sureties for the large amount of sixty thousand pounds, required by an Act of the last ses sion. Ido not see how it is possible for me to apply any remedy without your assistance; for, if the law should remain unaltered, my impression is that any other person would experience at least us much difficulty as the present Receiver-General. But in my opinion the diffi culty might be easily salved by you. The Receiver- General's office, as I have before had occasion to state, is held only under a provisional appointment; and if you were to lighten the responsibilities of that appointment, I do not conceive that there would be any injustice in applying a moderate portion of the present salary for the accomplishment of such an object. It might be effected, I clink, by creating a new office of comptroller of public accounts; in which case I would recommend that the duties of the office should be stated in the most simple and general terms to he those of comptrolling the public accounts, and of publishing quarterly in the Gazette, the receipts and disbursements of the 'Treasury, and the issues of loan certificates and other public securities, and of every description of island paper, or public engagement. If you should go beyond this, and attempt a more detailed specification of the comptroller's duties, I am afraid you might only afford grounds for opposing a salutary mea sure. The existence of such a control would greatly re lieve the Receiver-General from responsibility, by pre venting the facilities of error in his office, and the public and its creditors would have a better security than they now have for the correct management of the revenue. It' the new office were once well established, I think that the amount for which the Receiver-General is called upon to find sureties might safely be reduced from sixty to thirty, or-even to twenty thousand pounds. On the part of the Crown, I can un d ertake that the obsolete laid merely nom i na l a ppointment of Auditor-General, which is held under a commission from a former Go vernor, shall not be any ob,tacle in the way of such an enactment. "Gentlemen of the Council, Mr. Speaker, and Gen tlemen of the Assembly, " I regard the present occasion as a cardinal point in the progress and fortunes of Jamaica, because upon the faith you may preserve with the public creditor, I be lieve it to depend whether the island shall hereafter share or be excluded from the advantages of the fund ing system, which I take to be the greatest political lever and most powerful instrument of civilization and prosperity in the prevent age of the world. Do not condemn yourselves to permanent insignificance by repudiating benefits of which I believe that you will find that some of your sister colonies are even now availing themselves, and in which under careful, masterly, and uniform regulation, I believe that the true bond of union, the bond of mutual benefit between the metropolitan State and its colonies, will hereafter be found. Be as cautious as you please, and make no other enactments on the present occasion than what the strictest justice etnt p hhvo r a e atintsi sc jo r nin i an b o e ttf s oht;eh do, do not let any party differences amongst yourselves, with ug w which the creditors of the public have h ower made and a d e uu claims—ort t ea o s au o nt n yo o uf r n excuse their pe u n se : o leaving r therelect by has been the Local L any , gii v i i a o p l u a r t e io o n f o j f a t m h ai ei c r a., ri , ghts—any interest The speech was replied to by the House in the follow ing terms:— " May it please your Excellency, " We, her Majesty's dutiful nod loyal subjects, the Assembly of Jamaica, thank your Excellency for your speech at the opening of the session.

The unanimous desire of the aforesaid Powers is, that the state of the possessions at present united under the dominion of his Danish Majesty be maintained in its integrity. Section 2. In consequence they acknowledge the wisdom of the views which determine his Majesty the King of Den• mark to regulate eventually the order of the succession in his Royal House so as to facilitate the arrangements by which the aforesaid object may be attained without impairing the relations of the Duchy of Holstein with the Germanic Confederation. Section 3. They rejoice that the negotiations opened at Berlin under the mediation of Great Britain have already led to the signature of a treaty between Denmark and Prussia in her own name and in the name of the Ger manic Confederation—a treaty which it is their firm hope will have for its results the restoration of peace. Section 4. Wishing on their side to manifest from this time their desire to facilitate, as far as in them lies, the conclusion of the arrangements mentioned in Art. IL of the present protocol, the above-mentioned Powers reserve to them selves to enter upon a future agreement in order to give an additional pledge of stability to these arrangements by an act of European recognition. It is agreed that this deliberation will take place in London, and that the said Powers shall furnish their representatives with the full powers necessary for this purpose. RETENTLOW. BRUNNOW. E. DROUYN DE LRUYS. J. E. REHALTSEN. PALMERSTON. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday the 31st of July, the Sun day Trading Prevention Bill, immediately after a division in favour of going forward of 71 to 36, was abandoned ; leaving reason to regret, that the oppor tunity had not been taken for coming to a composition favourable to the interests of the public. The Bill as sent from the Lords was almost entirely a Bill of relaxation and virtual repeal, and not of increased restriction. But this the opposition could not see ; though there can be little doubt that the Sabbatarians must have had a painful perception, that the title of the Bill was nearly all on which they could fairly plume themselves. The sitting was in the new House ; which has been underdrawn with deal, as an experiment to improve the hearing. It appears too that the underdrawing is "ascending and descending ;" for the purpose of try ing the effect at various heights. The hearing, in the present state, may be said to be improved by about two-thirds of the original difference between the two Houses. The case where inferiority was not sensible, was where a Member spoke with his back close to the wall ; when he was remarkably badly heard on the opposite side. Which is the manifest result of the bottom of the gallery overhead, presenting a surface parallel to the horizon, instead of an inclined one. On Thursday August Ist, the Attorney. General gave notice of his intention on Monday the .sth to move two Resolutions, to the effect that the Member for London was not entitled to take his seat " until he shall take the Oath of Abjuration in the form ap pDinted by Law," and that the House would take the form of the Oath into its serious consideration at the earliest opportunity in the next session. Which is a decision on the part of the Government, uttered be fore the pleadings had been heard. Here then is a man acknowledged to have a right to swear according to the formulas of his own re ligion, that religion being thereby recognised as not being the Christian. And when this man has been brought into the presence of the Deity, and allowed to take two oaths in his own forms, which is as re mote from anything within the view of the framers of the oaths as anything it is possible to superadd,— at that moment, he so standing in the presence of the Deity whom it is pretended to reverence, the quibble is put in by words, which had just been given up in substance, and the man who was permitted and autho rized to appeal to the Deity as a non-Christian, is pulled up with the words "on the true faith of a Christian," as if it was not as palpable that these were as much parts of the alterable form, as the New Testament which has been exchanged for the Old. Surely there will be a judgment for these things; not in the shape of a potato-rot or a cholera, as would have suggested itself to our ancestors, but in the shape of a falling away and diminution of reve rence for the Government under which such things are done. On Friday Mr. Hume gave notice of his two Amendments on the Attorney-General's Resolutions. The first is to the effect that the Member for London by taking his seat and voting, will be exposed to no penalties but what may be recovered from him in a court of law; and the other presents but slight dif ference from the corresponding one of the Attorney- General. The object in these, it may be surmised, is to secure the Member for London from the seat being declared vacant. Whether it may be his intention to sport 6001. upon the question of what the courts of law may or may not say to him for a single vote, time must show. There might perhaps be policy in it ; and after the House has chosen to leave the point open, there can be no apparent objection to its being put into the hands of the courts of law. The courts would interfere or they would not. If they inter - fered, there is a good opportunity for fighting up the case before the public. If they did not, it is scarcely possible the case should not be found stronger in consequence. At the same time it is impossible to give up the conviction, that the house will lose an opportunity of maintaining its estimation in the public eye, if it declares that it dares decree the substitution of the Old Testament for the New where it is as clear as the day that nothing of the kind was within the contem plation of the framers of the oath, and dares not decree the substitution of " true faith of a believer in the Old Testament" for "true faith of a Christian," which is only a continuation of the same license. As to the words " true faith," nothing is plainer than that according to the allowed interpretation ?f Douse, ouse, they mean " true belief of religious obli gation," and have no reference, except in the fancy of a score or two of antiquated theologians, to anything like what the Inquisition means when it talks about the "true faith. The "true faith" of the Member for the University of Oxford, is in this sense not the " true faith" of the Unitarian on the opposite benches. So far from this, that one would perhaps willingly make over the other to " the civil arm" of the Statute of William again if he could. But both of these are the House of Commons' „true faith ;" th e H ouse of Commons' " true faith, therefore, is the " true faith" of the utterer, and not of the Inquisitor. The Citizens are slower than they used to be, if know ledge on these points does not gain ground within the hearing of Bow bell. In the course of the evening sitting, the Prime Mi nister declared, that if on Monday the Member for London should claim to be heard by counsel, he should not oppose it. This looks like a willingness to assist. An opportunity is plainly given for the whole case being re-opened, with any improvements which the power of playing the game twice over may suggest. On Saturday the House sat for a couple of hours, to receive Reports, and forward other business of routine. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, Aug. 5, 1850.

His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, the President of the Frencn Republic, her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, his Majesty the King of Prussia, his Majesty the Em peror of All the Russias, and his Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway, considering that the maintenance of the integrity of the Danish Monarchy, connected with the general interests of the balance of Europe, is of high importanc e t o th e preser vation of peace, have resolved, on the request of his Majesty the King of Denmark, to establish (constater) the perfect harmony which subsists between their Ca binets as to the maintenance of this principle, and have authorised their Plenipotentiaries in conference assembled to put forth in their name the following dew claration:— EXHIBITION OF INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS, 1551. The following is a copy of a letter addressed by her Nl2jesty's Commissioners to the various commissions ap pointed in foreign countries to promote the Exhi bition:— Pal of estminster, Jul 29. " Sir,—W e are hereby ace direc W ted by her Maj y esty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 to communi cate to you and the other Commissioners appointed by the [ Government, the great satisfaction with which they have received the inteligence of the formation of your commission, and of the steps which have been taken by it for the purpose of co-operating with them and of properly representing the industry of your country in the approaching Exhibition in London. " The Commissioners have themselves been anxiously occupied in making preparations for the reception of those valuable and interesting objects which you may forward for exhibition and for the erection of a suitable builchnl, - ; for their displ.sy; and also in making such ether arrangements regarding medals, prizes, juries, and the general conditions of the Exhibition, as seem most likely to promote the objects of the friendly competition in which so many great nations are now taking such deep interest. " The inclosed printed papers (Decisions of her Ma jesty's Commissioners) will sufficiently communicate to you, for the information of [ ] exhibitors, the nature of the arrangements that have been made for the admission of foreign productions to the Exhibition; and we are directed to call your attention especially to that portion relating to tho Custom-house arrangements. " According to the regulations of the Board cif Cus toms, it is necessary that the agents employed should enter into bonds to secure the payment of the duties assessed on the goods which are sent for exhibition, should such goods be sold in this country after the Ex hibition is closed; but as all goods transmitted by the same vessel, and consigned to one and the same agent, will be covered by one bond, it would much facilitate the arrangement for all parties, and diminish the ex pense, if the articles intended for exhibition were for warded by each central authority en masse, or at all events in as few separate consignments as possible. " liar Majesty's Commissioners, as you will perceive by the accompanying papers, have nominated, on the recom mendation of the Commissioners of the Board of Cus toms, several persons as proper and responsible agents to be employed for the port of London; all of whom have stated their willingness to adopt a much lower scale of charges than those usually required in ordinary mercantile transactions for the services they may render, and to furnish a statement of the proposed charges, so far as they can be specified beforehand, to all parties who may desire to know them. " Of the agents named for the outports, Mr. Oraaston, of Newcastle, and Messrs. Ford and Canning, of Bristol, have signified their intention of not making any charges except those to which they may be personally subjected, and the others purpose to charge less than the ordinary rates. "In addition to the facilities offered by these gentlemen we are further directed to add that the firm of Messrs. Nicholson, Besley, and Co. (East India and China Wharf, London), have signified their intention °freaking ❑o charge upon goods conveyed by their lighters or for landing on their quays; and the Hull Dock Company, Hull, have also announced that no charge for wharfage will be made by that company. The usual charges will therefore be still further reduced in the case of all per eons who may take advantage of the offer thus liberally made by these parties. " In transmitting the names of these agents, her Ma jesty's Commissioners are desirous that it should be clearly understood that they do not hold themselves in any way accountable for the charges which may be made, and that the sole object which they have had in view in what must be considered as a private transac tion between the exhibitors and the agents has been merely to suggest means for affording to foreign exhi• tors the opportunity of availing themselves, if they might see fit, of those arrangements which the Commissioners believe would be found to be most convenient and economical; it being distinctly understood that auy cen tral authority or foreign exhibitor is perfectly tree to employ any other agent than those named, and to make any other arrangements that may be deemed more con venient. " The attention of the Commissioners having been called to the question of fitting up the [ ] goods for exhibition, the Commissioners in London have to state that they are willing to undertake to supply counters upon which the goods may be displayed. But exhibitors, or such commissioners or i representatives as may be duly authorised to act for them, will be at perfect liberty to take charge of fitting them up according to their taste with glass shades, &c., at their own cost. It will be very de,irable that you should acquaint us at an early period with your in tentions with reference to this point; and also with the views which you entertain of appointing authorised agents here to be specially charged on your behalf with the care and display of the goods transmitted under your orders. " The Commissioners trust that the arrangements, the details of which are now submitted to you, will be satis factory, and that these will serve to show that they aro not insensible to the value of the exertions which you are making to co-operate in this great Industrial Exhibitio❑ of the Works of all Nations. " WO 2.vail ourselves of this opportunity to offer to you the assurances of the high consideration and esteem with which we have the honour to sign ourselves, " sir, your most iaithful servants, "J.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PROMOTIONS. Commander—Hugh Dunlop (1842), late in command of the Alert, 8, on the coast of Africa, to the rank of captain. Lieutenants—Edward R. Power (1839), and James 11. Bridges (1838). to the rank of commanders. Commander Power is the gallant and long-serving officer who has just returned from Captain Austin's Arctic squadron, having most satisfactorily performed the duty of superintending the conveyance of stores to the Whale Fish Islands, in the Emma Eugenia trans port. Previously to this service he commanded the Locust steam-vessel, in the Mediterranean. Comman der Bridges is the officer whose gallantry as First-Lieu tenant of the Columbine, in the engagement with the Chinese pirates (for which service Captain Dalrymple Hay was promoted), we have, on more than one occa sion, especially noticed as giving him strong claim' for promotion. APPOINTNENTS. Captain Henry Wells Giffard (1841), formerly of the Penelope steam-frigate, coast of America, has at length been appointed to the command of the Dragon steam frigate, at Portsmouth. Commander Thomas H. Lysaght, promoted in January, 1849, on the coast of Africa, whilst in com mand of the Grappler steam-♦easel, which ship h• paid off some months subsequently, has been appointed to the command of the Phseeix screw-steam sloop, on the coast of Africa, vice Wodehouse, superseded at hie own request. Commander J. M'Neil Boyd, just promoted from the First Lieutenant of the Thetis, 36, has been appointed to the Superb, 80, in the Mediterranean, vice Horton. Chaplain—David Carson, to the Trafalgar, 120, at Sheerness. Naval Cadets—B. A. Hyde to the Ajax, screw guard ship, Queenstown; H. A. Coddington and Neville W. Russell to the Fisguard flag-ship, at Woolwich. It is reported that Commander Horton, serving in the Superb, 80, in the Mediterranean, has been promoted to the rank of captain. There are other officers on the list who have strong coast of Africa claims, and none more strong than Commander R. B. Crawford (1842), whose services are very distinguished, and we regret to see are not so well remembered. Lieutenant Merion Marshall Moriarty (1811) died lately at New South Wales. He held the situation of of harbour master and postmaster-general, and was much respected in that colony, where he had long been located. Mr. Thompson, master (1841), formerly in the packet. service, died recently at Falmouth. Howe, 120, on paying off, handsomely rubscribed 261. to the Sailors' Home at Portsmouth. This is the first ship that has subscribed to this admirably-intentioned institution. Hydra steam-sloop, at Sheerness, is ordered to Wool wich to bo repaired. Linnet, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Commander James, arrived at Devonport on Friday from Falmouth, to have her defects made good. Princess Royal transport, No. 9, Lieutenant Harris, agent, deceased, arrived at Spithead, from the West Indies, on Wednesday, bringing home some invalided soldiers and some old stores. She proceeded on to Chatham on Friday. Sprightly steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, left Portsmouth, for Devonport, with supernumeraries, on Friday evening. Star, 8, Commander L. A. Selwyn, was paid off into ordinary at Chatham, on Thursday. Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Lord A. Beau clerk, has had her boilers patched up. She was taken alongside Portsmouth Dockyard on Saturday, and coaled with all dispatch,and will proceed to Pembroke on Mon day with a detachment of Royal Marines, under Cap tain Hunt, Lieutenants Searle, Stewart, M'Arthur, and Ellis, with '2OO privates, to relieve the detachment now serving there. Tortoise lighter, Shearmtn master, left Devonport on Friday, with sires for Woolwich. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert will proceed to Cowes at two o'clock this day, to attend on her •Msjesty and Prince Albert at Osborne. The William Jardine convict ship, from the river, em barked on Saturday from the Hulks nt Portsmouth about 50 convicts. She proceeded the same afternoon for Port land, where she will receive others before she sails fur Sydney. WooLwrcli.—Mr. W. Stuart, senior foreman of ship wrights at Woolwich, has been superannuated from the Ist. of August. CMATFIAM Dockverin.--The shipwright apprentice (Lewis Barnaby), who was taken to Melville Hospital with his head badly injured by an iron ridsr jamming him between it and a standard on board the Msje•tic, 80, building, is since dead, and was interred on Tuesday evening. Thane)) , was a young man universally re spected, and was followed to the grave by nearly 100 of his fellow-apprentice• and workmates. A very serious accident occurred last week to a y oung man named W. Blackman, employed at the sawmills. It appears that an iron plate which covers the works in connexion with the fly-wheel which drives the engine had been taken off, and Blackman, going into the engine-room in haste, did not perceive the plate was off, and unfortunately fell, when his left leg became entangled amongst the wheels. Had net the works been instantly stopped he would have been crushed; as it was, his leg was very severely injured. He was immediately conveyed to Melville Hospital. The Britannia, 120, advanced three•decker, is ordered to supersede the Illustrious, 72, as depot ship for the or dinary at this port. The Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren, on arrival from the West Indies, is to be paid off at this port. The Kestrel brigantine, Lieutenant Baker, was to sail from Rio, for England, to be paid off and refitted on the 13th of June. • The Blonde, 42, is fitting for a hulk in lieu of the Topaz: her poop is being put o❑ in the basin. The Niger steam-sloop, Commander Heald, is ordered to have square scuttles cut, which will detain her some days, but which will be a great lsoon to her officers and ship's company on the coast of Africa station. The Flamer steam-vessel is fitting out expeditiously for commission at this port. She will be brig•rieged, without a square mainsail, and, like the Niger, will carry royals on sliding masts and flying jib. The Retribution steam-frigate, preparing for commis sion, is being rigged as a barque; she mounts 24 heavy guns, and with her reduced engine power of 400 horse (which gave her more speed than her 800 did) bids fair to be a powerful and serviceable war steamer. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., has snipped her lower masts and bowsprit; 14 of her Burs and carronades have been condemned by bore and vent measurement ; her main deck guns have all been dismounted to have their carriages examined, W e hear that several hundred of her shot have bean con demned also. The Fox, 42, Commodore Lambert, completed her seamen yesterday, but is short of petty officers. The Marquis de Souza Lisboa,- of the Brazilian navy, joins this ship for instruction. Her Marine detachment em• barked a few days since, and consist-d of First Lieute nant Elliott, Second Lieutenant Nightingale, and 60 rank and file. 110 AL MARINES.—Her Majesty's steam-sloop Strom boli, Commander Lord Ameltut Beauclerk, is ordered to embark to-morrow Captain Hunt, Lieutenants Searle, Stewart, NPArthur, and Ellis, with 200 rank and file from this division, to relieve the detachment at Pembroke I)nck; also 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 12 gunners of the Artillery companies for the same desti ny tion. CRICKET. HARROW AND ETON. 6,an Saturday this match was concluded, after An exhibition of really fine play on both sides, Eton winning by seven wickets. The following is the score:— Harrow, first innings... 100 „ second innings ... 108 Eton, first innings ... ... 105 „ second innings ... 104 THE HIGH STEWARDSHIP OF WINDSOR,—Among the various appointments held by the late Duke of Cam bridge, was that of High Steward of the " Royal borough of New Windsor." A vacancy having occurred in consequence of the decease of the late Duke, the mayor and corporation of Windsor, in whom the appointment is vested (but subject, according to the terms of the charter, to the approval 01 the Crown ),have just unanimously chosen his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who has thus become a burgess of the borough. according to the charter granted by Charles 11., dated February 8, 1665. Three Royal Dukes (th e sons of George III.) have held this office in succession,. viz., the ofD Du a e r o d f i gla"no,rkw,.heolecwtaesd also e t r i n p o o r n of t h l e v i d n e d a s t o h r o c t a s t t h l e e ; E t a h r e l D Du Lik k e e o o t t: .I C rc la t r i, e ) n , ce a , n a d p w po h i o nt r e e d s i i g . n ne l d B t t ( o o lli n c e t he on t h le is at a h cc o ess f the to the throne in 1830, when the Duke of Cambridge was elected, and who continued to hold the appointment up to the period of his death. FIRE IN HOLBORN.—Yesterday (Sunday) after noon, at a few minutes before two o'clock, a tire of an alarm ing character, and nearly attended with dangerous conse quences, broke out in the extensive premises belonging to Messrs. Graves and Co., tailors and drapers, carrying on busi ness at 313, High Holborn, near the corner of Chancery-lane. Considerable damage was done to the valuable stock in trade and also to the premises before the fire could be ext:ll;uished• of the female servants had a very narrow escape.
