The annual festival of the Artists' Benevolent Institution, held on Saturday last, was rendered especially interesting by the somewhat unusual pre sence of Sir ROBERT PEEL in the chair. Our readers are already acquainted with the discourse of the Right Hon. Baronet on that occasion—a discourse eminently worthy of proceeding from the lips of that statesman whose timely care for the suffering artist was gratefully commemorated in the diary of poor HAYDeN. It must always be a matter of pecu liar satisfaction to those who duly estimate the relative positions of the various members of the Commonwealth when Rank and Power, in the persons of those privileged few who are rendered illustrious by birth or fortune, identify themselves with Industry and humble Merit, the less conspicuous but not less illustrious characteristics of the great majority. Of this " twice-blessed" sympathy—literally twice blessed, for assuredly it benefits the donor as greatly as it can the recipient—we have recently had many noble instances, none more remark able or more every way gratifying than that affc.rded by the great interest manifested in, and the personal assistance bestowed upon, the Exhi bition of Industry by his Royal Highness Prince ALBERT. Among other examples, similer iu kind if less in degree, is the cordial sympathy and unassum ing patronage which Sir ROBERT PEEL, both as a minister and as a private individual, has continually exhibited towards art and artists. Not satisfied with merely erecting his splendid picture gallery at Tamworth, and with collecting therein many of the master-pieces of modern pencils, the Right Hon. Baronet has shown himself to have been actuated by a nobler ambition than that of an ordinary " collector," and herein he is deserving of more general imitation. He has looked from the work to the workman—and, more than that, not content with admiring and rewarding the triumphant efforts of the successful few, he has paused to re member and turned to commiserate the struggles, the disappointments, and the sufferings of those who, perhaps equally meritorious, have been arrested in their career by sickness, poverty, or acci dent, or perhaps cat off by an untimely death. Very surely Sir ROBERT PEEL was only giving an expres sion to his own feelings, and uttering an assurance that he had already verified by experience, when at the cicse of his address, ou Saturday, he said—and let as hope the saying will meet with a practical response— " I venture to assure those who are proud of the works of genius which adorn their walls—who enter into the eager competition for pictures, and give ap parently extravagant prices for the works of artists who are now no more—l venture to assure them that every work of art which they now possess will be viewed with increased satisfaction—every work which they may in future acquire will be regarded with increased pride—if they have the satisfaction of thinking that they have not only been liberal in their purchases, and lavish in their admiration, but that they have applied a portion of their wealth to increase the funds of this institution, which administers them with strict fidelity, and which by that administra tion tends to assuage the sufferings of men, of widows, and orphans, who have been plunged into deep, and, in many cases, unmerited distress." Such being the object and effect of the Artists' Benevolent Institution, it possesses very pe culiar and powerful claims on the sympathy and sup port of all who can appreciate genius and commise rate misfortune. It was happily observed by a foreigner, at a charitable festival the other day, that in this country " every word expressive of human infirmity is translated into stone and mortar." Such is very nearly the case, and we justly feel a national pride that it is so. Tnere are, however, many sorrows and sufferings more poignant, perhaps because less apparent than those endured by the in mates of a hospital. If we were to search through the tear blotted records of human anguish (always excepting of course the records of criene) we should most probably find that the most sorrowful pages are those which chronicle the combined sufferings of genius and misfortune—the life-destroying labour, the hope deferred, the penury, the disap poiatments, and perhaps the premature death bed surround ed by a starving, helpless family. These .sufferings, moreover, are aggravated by the fact that the sufferers, almost necessarily, possess a more than ordinarily acute sensibility. Remembering these things, it appears unnecessary to demon strate the excellence, and advocate the claims, of such Institutions as the one above mentioned—institutions 'which proffer, in the hour of need, a helping hand to t.se sinking and well-nigh desperate. The numerous, and, in some instances, distinguished individuals ho took part at the festival of Saturday, as the Chair mien very justly observed, hardly required to have the excellence of the institution pointed out to them, their presence sufficiently testified their recognition of its merits. The remarks of the Right Hon. Chairman evere, therefore, chiefly made for the benefit of those a bsent from the assembly, and consequently, continued the Right Honourable Baronet, "as my appeal it . to the absent, it cannot be made efficiently unless we have the aid of that great insti Vation or estate—by whatever name you choose to ca It—l mean the daily press. I call it an institution, but it is at the same time a powerful instrument for the dissemination of knowledge, for the correction of , r-rors and prejudices, and at the same time it always x:ands forward—so far at least as my experience enables rie to judge—without reference to party animosities, the disinterested and generous advocate of every cause sic hick is connected with charity and benevolence." We have transcribed this testimony of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S for two reasons, because it so entirely coin- tides with what have always with reg ar d t o th e d u ti es an characteristicsnwnof sentimentsthe -Press—duties—duties w hi c h isre a t the same time d -rebponsibilit:es and privileges, and because Sir Ro been o ut. 13ElitT P EEL, having been so especially 'personal vilific a ti on , hi s test i mony to t h e gener al dis interestedness and generos i ty o f t h e P iess collec tivelythe object of is peculiarly interesting and valuable. In this instance, the public journals have responded to his call, and his appeal on behalf of the Artists' Benevo lent Institution is in the hands of all the readers of the daily newspapers. It remains for them to make a worthy answer to the appeal —an answer commensurate with the powerful claim s of the Insti tuticn. Bill will liag„,auluaebeef The County Cou r t s E xtens * trust that ce bro r ! e t n s u w n i d t e h r i h tthhee p e r o es n e s e id t e Ns r i a: e t tl e io k n o a f nd t v, h , e e against th e the advocates of that most salut a ry m fail to give their attendance, to guaerrog re r will ess or no to t efforts that may be made to arrest it: pr T,r u t nal iz e its efficiency. There is, i t is true, hut I:ttle to be feared from the open and avowed hostility ,f its uncompromising opponents. The R i ec t o e r re der w ill receive but scanty support in any a which he may make to throw out the B ill. The Hanourable and Learned Gentleman has candidly declared that he will take advantage of any oi,portunity that may arise to prevent the at tainment of cheap and expeditious justice, But it requires no extraordinary degree of vaticination to foretell the result of a fair and open conflict. Those Ni. , he have already defeated the entire strength of the Danner vi..rovernment, aided by the votes of thirty placeholders, Ilember for c il l not shriek from measuring their strength with t he , —__ •,. , tskiethia force which way array itself under the of th Right Honourable Gentleman the the University of Cambridge'. There is greater dang er in the hollow and insidious support o f pretended friends who may endeavour to LONDON, TUESDAY emasculate a Bill which they could not venture openly to reject, and to render it worse than useless, so that it may prove a curse rather than a blessing to the community. We have already emphatically warned its friends against the attempt to place any restriction on the wholesome discretion now allowed to the presiding judge of ordering the debt or damages, as the case may be, to be paid by instalments. A suggestion was thrown out that the power should be taken away if the defendants, or any of them, were within the ope ration of the bankrupt laws. It was also proposed that the power to give time should be limited to two or three months. And the Attorney-General thought " that if the power should be so limited, the rule should apply to all debts whatever under or over 201." A distinction was also attempted to be made between book debts and those on bills of exchange or promis sory notes. These various matters are to be fully considered on the next discussion, and if, unfortu nately, the House should be induced to accept there, it is impossible to calculate the extent of the mischief that may arise. A fearful instrument of oppression will be placed in the hands of creditors, which may be, used with the most tremendous effect, and which may occasion the ruin of many small traders, who, if they received a little indulgence could honestly liquidate every demand. But why, or for what purpose, should this change be introduced ? Has it ever been even suggested that debtors have been unduly favoured, or unreason able time been granted to persons who had the ability but not the will to make full satisfaction ? We have never heard of such a charge being preferred against any of the Learned Gentlemen who have been ap pointed to office under the 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 95, and we believe that in the great majority of instances the leaning (if any) is the other way. Before time is given inquiry is invariably made, not only into the actual resources of the de fendant, and his means of liquidating the demand, but also as to the circumstances under which the debt was originally contracted; and any fraud or even strong suspicion thereof is most stringently punished. Under the 98th section the debtor " may be examined upon oath touching his estate and effects, and the manner and circumstances under which he contracted the debt, or incurred the damages or liability which is the subject of the action in which the judgment has been obtained against him, and as to the means and expectations he then had, and as to the property and means he still hath, of discharging the said debt or damages, or liabilities, and as to the disposal he may have made of any property." And the person ob taining the summons, and all other witnesses whom the judge shall think requisite, may be examined on oath touching the above inquiries, and (sec. 99) " If the party so summoned shall not attend, or if attending shall refuse to be sworn or to disclose any of the things aforesaid, or if he shall not make answer to the same to the satisfaction of the judge, or if it shall appear to such judge that the de fendant has obtained credit from the plaintiff under false pretences, or by means of fraud or breach of trust, or has wilfully contracted such debt or liabi lity, without having had at the same time a reason able expectation of being able to pay or discharge the same, or shall have made any gift, delivery, or trans fer of any property, or shall have changed, removed, or concealed the same, with intent to defraud his cre ditors, or any of them; or if it shall appear that the party has then, or has had at any time since the judgment obtained against him, sufficient means and ability to pay the debt either altogether, or by instalments, and if he refuse or neglect to pay the same," &c., &c., such party may be committed to prison for any time not exceeding 40 days, and (sec. 103) such imprisonment shall not operate as a satis faction for the debt. Here, then, we find that an investigation as searching as any that could take place if the defendant were seeking to obtain the benefit of the Insolvent Acts before the very same judge must be instituted in every case before time will be conceded, and that it is only to the honest but unfortunate debtor that any indulgence will be shown. What object can there be in driving such a person to prison, and compelling him to be come an insolvent? If he can escape the ordeal pre scribed by the statute; if, on inquiry, be should not be found worthy of punishment, why should the cre ditor be allowed, for the gratification of his own vin dictive feelings, or mere caprice, to incarcerate him, to the mutual injury of both? It is contrary to reason and justice that it should be sanctioned or allowed, and we call upon the representatives of the people strenuously to resist these mischievous, im politic, and oppressive provisions, that will be sub mitted for their adoption. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT BY THE LORD MAYOR To THE JUDQLS. The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress have issued cards to a large party for the 28th inst. to meet her Majesty's Judges, the Masters in Chancery, the ser jeants at law, the Queen's counsel, and others in the legal profession. THE GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY. —Yesterday, on the re-assembling of this committee, Mr. Cardwell in the chair, Mr. Croll, the engine er o f th e com• pany and member of the Institute of Civil Engineers, was under examination during the day. He stated th a t t h e area of the city of London was nearly one mile, and its pre sent consumption of gas per annum was about 500 million cubic feet, of which amount 51 millions, or a tenth, was sup plied to the public lights. Last year the City companies charged 6s. where they now charged only 4s. The diameter of the mains of the Chartered Company would have to be enlarged if the reduction in the price of gas brought a cor responding increase of consumption, and if they had to lay down new mains, the old ones being wanted for the gas at night, inconvenience would result from their being obliged to do it by day instead of doing it, as the new company proposed, by night. The new com pany would be enabled to obtain their coal from the Blackwall Railway -at 2d. per ton less than the City Company, and at 2s. 6d. per ton less than the Chartered Company; the latter having to cart thei r coa l s to t h e i r works front the Regent's-canal. The witness, after explaining at considerable length his patented improvements for the puri fication of gas, for which he had received the Telford medal, was cros-examined by Mr. Burke, and deposed that the /ay ng down through the public thoroughfares of the 64 miles of main necessary for the new company's supply, would occupy three months, working night by night between seven in the evening and eight in the morning. Three miles per week could be completed, and six if necessary. Believed it might be done without, as had been the case in Dublin, impeding the public thoroughfares. Mr. Burke intimated that at a future stage of the proceedings he should object to Sir James Duke (one of the members placed on the com mittee, as having a constituent interest in the question) voting, on the ground of the absence of the Hon. Baronet during certain portions of the evidence. Sir James Duke said he had been unavoidably absent, but he should read the evidence carefully; and the committee adjourned to this day at twelve o'clock. BUSINESS NECESSARY. —The experience of life demonstrates that a regular and systematic business is es sential to the health, happice,s, coutentmeLt, and usefulness of man. Without it, he is uneasy, unsettled, miserable, and v. retched. His desires have no fixed aim, his ambition no high and noble ends. He is the sport of visionary dreams and idle fancies-. a looker on where all are busy, a drone in the hive of industry a moper in the field of enterprise and Ir.bour. If such were the lot of the feeble and helpless only, it were less to be deplored; but it is oftener the doom and curse of those who have the power to do without the will to act, and who need that quality which makes so many others, but the want of which unmakes them—the quality of vigour and resolution. Business is the grand regulator of life.-- Eliza Cook's Journal. The following account of violence and scanda lous conduct at the Somerset County P ro t ec ti on i st and Conservative Association meeting, at their dinner, at the Old Down-Inn, on the Ist of May, 1850, Sir John Cox liippis- Icy in the chair, is stated to have :aken place as per _Bath and Cheltenham Gazette, (a Tory paper), of the Bth of May, 1850 the usual toasts, Mr. W.

A burst of disapprobation from every quarter of th e meeting showed that there was no probability of Mr. Green's proposition being entertained ; and after consi 'erable confu. sion, Mr. 11.

DEFICIT AT AN ESTABLISHMENT ABROAD --The deficit in the balance-sheet of an Admiralty officer deceased, and who held a responsible post in a Government establish. ment abroad, amounts, we understand, to 6,000/.—Ulired Service Gazette. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TW O O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken on I.peculation, and 500 for export. The market closed firmly, with an up ard tendency; Americans were nearly p. per lb. higher, and other sorts were at full rates.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at higher quotations. The Colonial Produce Markets have been steady, but are rather inactive. The attention of the ironmasters has lately been called to the circumstance of the Bank of England having be come partially engaged in the t. ade, and much dissatis faction is expressed upon the subject. We are told that a memorial, addressed to the President of the Board of Trade, and signed by all the leading iron and tin-plate manufacturers in the kingdom, is about being presented, representieg that the works belonging to the Governor and Company of Copper Miners of England, now car ried on by the Back of England, are being worked un der a charter protecting the Bank from any and all losses beyond the subscribed capital of the share holders—that the private property of such shareholders is, by the said charter, exempt from liability in relation to the debts of such concern, whil.t the capital em ployed, as well as the private property of the memori e subjected ee ecte ryig everyd rn shilling to the liabilities in curred on of the respective works, and which works are sow being c arr i e d on no t or i ous l y at a loss, praying the interference of th e b oar d t o restra i n th e Bank from carrying on th e same . liste is by su th b Accounts of April 13 from llavannah furnish the par ticulars of various sales made in calicoes and shirting:, which appeared to be in demand. There was no first quality coffee in the market. Clean freight to the Baltic was at 21. 15s. to 31, and to G reat B r i ta i n 2 / .los. to 2 / . 15s. There are in the letters, per steamer " America" delivered this morning, some notices of the affairs of the Pacific republics which appear to be of a date that will anticipate the advises by the West India Mail steam'r next to arrive. The Valparaiso accounts are to March 4. They stars that " whila the agricultural districts in Chili are so redundant in food, the mineral districts are not less so in silver, copper, and gold. The rich est s il ver an d copper m i nes are found in the north provinces of Atacama. The annual export . reaches f our m illi ons o f d o ll ars , an d with the facilities of a railroad, already commenced to communicate with th e ooast an d C op i apo , fif ty five miles, the increase Will bo enormous. The mines are found in the spurs of the Cordillera of the Andes. They are of recent discovery, and surrounded with deserts, which have rendered their being worked extremely difficult, •as there is no food to sustain either animals or man, and in many parts a dearth of water. The circumstances of this railroad deserve to be recorded. The name of Mr. William Wheelwright is well known as a poineer of steam navi gation in the Pacific, who first opened up the inter course by steam between this coast and Europe some years since. Mr. V. was invited by some capitalist and wealthy miners to go to Copiapo and look over the ground, with a view of forming a railroad. He did so; reported favourably; and recommended a plan to be adopted. In three days Bor 10 individuals of known wealth came forward and subscribed one million of dol lars; and Mr. W. has already commenced operations, and is daily expecting engineers from the United States, to continue the work. Mr. W. has also received the right of making a railroad between Santiago and Valparaiso, a distance of one hundred miles. lie has had the route surveyed, and reported practicable. The cost he esti mates at six millions of dollars. and no doubt his energy, vigour of character, and intelligence, will accomplish it. Besides these important ohjects, he has in hand the sup plying of water to the city, and also gas. Indeed, he seems to have obtained the entire confidence of the South American people, and possesses an influence which lie exercises with discretion and prudence, keeping himselt free from all political questions, which are the dominant evil in Peru." Guatemala is stated to bs progressing greatly in com merce and other eletnents of prosperity. Its principal prc duce is cochineal, which is cultivated with diligence and brought to great perfection. In two days (our ac counts are to February 14) there arrived at the capital a convoy of 2,000 mule-loads of goods, with a large quantity a merchandise imported at Ysab2/. The Government of Guatemala has concluded a treaty of amity with Great Britain and several other European nations. The other states of Central America which have separated from her, ex cept Costa Rica, appear to be discontented. The deficit in tie revenue of New Grenada for the payment of the national debt is 500,000 dollars on the year, but economies were to be effected in the expendi ture. The dates are March 3, fromßogata. Whether there will be a satisfactory issue to the Savings' Banks question is yet a matter for the future, but the parties named by the Chancellor of the Exche quer to consider the question aro generally approved of. The Stamp Duties arrangement under the new Bill, will yet be a difficult task, and the Stock Exchange are still dissatisfied with some of the proposed clauses, and have been representei by a deputation which went up yesterday. An equitable adjustment of the Stamp Duties is highly desirable, and, with proper considera tion and attention to the suggestions of practical men, could, no doubt, be effected.

HORRIBLE SUICIDE FROM THE DUKE OF YORK'S COLUMN THIS DAY.: A painful excitement prevailed this morning through out the whole of the west-end district, owing to a re port which prevailed that the Saxe-horn player of her Majesty's Theatre had committed suicide, by throwing himsalf fcom the Duke of Yoz k's Column. It appears that shortly after ten o'clock the unfortu nate deceased, whose name is Albert Stephan, Saxe horn player at her Majesty's Theatre, and brother-in law to M. Pettit, maitre de ballet at the same place, paid his sixpence and ascended the Column. The money taker noticed nothing in his manner to lead him to sup pose that he was contemplating suicide. He had been up for nearly twenty minutes, having been there all alone, and directly after the Horse-Guards clock had struck half-past ten, he (the door-keeper) heard a shriek from a female. He ran out to ascertain the cause, and when he turned round to the west side of the pillar, he there saw the lifeless body of the gentleman who had, but a few minutes before, gone up the Column. He bad jumped from the west side, or that portion of the pillar facing Chevalier Bunsen's mansion, in Carlton-gardens, and, in coming down his head came into fearful contact with the base of the Column, and shattered it to atoms. His brains were scattered all over the base of the pillar, and on the ground for some yards round. When picked up life was quite extinct. The force with which his feet came to the ground caused his boots to burst from their soles and completely smash his right foot. Police -constable Barber, of the C division, was soon on the spot, and he, with the assistance of other constables, conveyed the unfortunate man to St. Martin's Workhouse. The only property found on him was two sixpences, a purse, a white pocket handkerchief, marked S. T., and Mr. Lumley 's t ngagement. He w as very respectably attired, beirg dressed in a black surtout, black trousers, and a dark waistcoat. Ile was an unmarried man, and about fi ty- five years of age. His brother was unable, through grief, to see him for some time after the melancholy cccurreace. --- QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) ,Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, hi fore Lord CAMP BELL and a Commons Jury.) LODER V. HUTTON AND OTHERS. The plaintiff in this case is a furniture dealer, and he de!endants are dealers in Berlin wool; and the action was brought to try the validity of a bill of sale given by Mr. Stanley, a stationer, and comprising the whole of his stock and furniture, to the plaintiff, under which it was sought to set aside an execution by the de fendants, who sere creditors to the extant of about 40/. Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Hawkins were counsel for the plaintiff, and the defendants were represented by Mr. Crowder and Mr. Ball. The bill cf sale in question having been put it, Mr. John Stanley, a stationer at Sydeuham, proved that at the end of last year he was indebted to the plain tiff about 1401. for furniture. In November last he had a distress in the house for rent. Witness executed a bill of sale cf the furniture to the plaintiff, and the goods seized under the execution were the'same as those men tioned in the bill of sale. Cross-examined by -Mr. CRowDEß—First received the goods from the defendants in March, 1849, to the amount of about 401. His (witness's) wile carried on a toy-shop business, and witness the stationery. Gave Loder, the plaintiff; some bills. Messrs. Jones and Rock, to whom witness owed mor,ey, also sued him. Witness is also an attorney, but had not taken out his certificate since 1844. He owed one Mrs. Holmes about 301., and he put one Simpson in on behalf of Mrs. Holmes, who coniinuedther e till the bill of sale was given to Loden Re-exstnined—The stock in the shop was worth about 3001., but the whole with the furniture only sold for 65/. Mr. Joseph Loder, plaintiff's son, a furniture dealer, proved that he (witness) furnished goods to the Stanleys to the amount of 140/. Mr. CROWDER, on the part of the defendant, sub mitted that the bill of sale. was only intended to defeat the righteous claims of the defendants, the execution creditors. He contended that it was a' fraudulent and not a bond fide transaction. Lord CAMPBELL left it to the jury to say whether the plaintiff Loder had acted merely with the intention of securing his own just claims on the Stanleys, or whether he had wished to protect their property, and so to di - fraud the other creditors, by giving a false colour to the way in which Stanley' was currying on his business. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Lord CAM PBELL t o ld th e j ur y h e co uld not at all dis approve to their verdict. Those secret hills of sale ought never to be favoured.

" The best laid schemes of mice and men Gang aft a-gley." BURNS. SlR,—The past week's racing on the banks of the De? confirms the impressions I had previously entertained with respect to the merits of certain horses, and how the handicap line of the Spring must be drawn through Osterley, this time sacrificed to the golden calf ; for, be it remembered, all the talents confess, that had Osterley run to win The Cup,-instead "nuking play" for the money horse, Peep-o'-day Boy, who, by the bye, never possessed a elia7,ce for that event, as might be guessed from the un flinching steadiness with which a wed-known talent },ep perud him, he must have won, and ala P, Boy, in 1848, easily too; but as Burns has it— `• The bet , ,t laid schemes of mice and men Go oft adrift," and so did mine, and those of many othcre. I held on to Osterley in my last spot ting nct,•, knowing full well that he was at the weiglA superior to Mounseer and Ch3ntrey, and but little expecting to receive such advice as reach( d cue from an undoubted quarter, but too late for publica tion, that Osterley was only going to officiate as " ruining -master" to Lord llowth's nag, and that I had better look to Mounseer and Chaaitrey,•as being, according to the running of the ,season, within a few pounds of Osteiley's weight end form—the ;most likety auitnals to pull me through: "None can say that this was not good advice, The only mischief was it came too late; Of all exlerience 'tis the usual price, A sort of income-tax laid on by fate." As I expected, the filly by Slane gave a receipt in full for the Mostyn Stakes, Mr. Merryman beating Louis Na. poleun for second honours; the filly, of course, will be the first favourite for the Oaks next year, and if in as rood form then as she is at present, will be the win ner likewise. Alonzo won the Chesterfield Stakes so easily, that "the ring" supported him for the Derby, fur which, how ever, he has not the ghost of a chance. So ridiculously easy was Bee Hunter's victory o'er Mark Tapley and Cantab for the Dee Stakes accom plished, that Voltigeur's and Mildew's chances for the Derby look small, wonderfully small. The Second Spring Meeting at Newmarket, from the entry of Bolingbroke and Penang for the Rowley Mile Plate, has this year more interest attached to it than has been its fortune since the days of Phosphorus (the winner of the R. M. Phte and Derby in 1837). Should both Bolingbroke and Penang come to the post, this day, for the R. M. Plate of 501, an interesting race must of necessity ensue; and I think it extremely pro bable, as Ghillie Callum is in queer-street, and Sweet heart surrounded by an impenkttabk veil of mystery, that the result will throw a phosphoric light on the winxer of the Derby of 1850! Tie other races call for no p-articular remark. The Suffolk Stakes are under the patronage of St. George, and may show Herbert and Quasimodo in trow; toe Champion Stakes 'map to 13orde4ux, in Tiff's absence; and the Twu-Yelr-Old Stakes to Olivia. My Derby prognostication on the 27th instant, whin I hope, for the sixth time, to announce to the word tertune's favourite for the Derby of 1850! I am, Sir, your s , &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. May 13, 1850. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS We yesterday visited by daylight the Messrs. Denson's gigantic painting of the Passage of the Alps by Napoleon and his Army ; and to view such a pro duction, not " by pale moonlight," or by twilight, but in bright sunshine (for there were two or three hours of sunshine yesterday), is to test the merit of the artistical work. Beautiful as the former produc tions of the Messrs. Denson have been, though too commonly viewed as the mere vehicle for pyrotechnic display, we unhesitatingly pronounce t hi s to b e the most splendid of all their efforts. In the distance to the right of the picture is represented Mont St. Ber nard, and if the spectator takes his stand under the orchestra and scans the scene before him, looking obliquely to the right, the illusion is marvelously beautiful and complete. He beholds a long-continued view, representing gloomy dells or valleys, inter rupted by magnificent rocks and bold scenery, and terminating with Mont St. Bernard, on which are de picted the singular appearances produced by the gla ciers, and which can only be appreciated by those who have travelled in such regions. Standing in front of the vast picture, the spectator beholds patches of the " everlasting" fir and pine, and, in the distance, the various mountains covered with snow. There is no formality in the painting; we have every descrip tion of scenery. We trace the scenery from where vegetation may be supposed to stop to the sterile and snow-topped mountain-passes. Of the general effect of the colouring, the beautiful proportion of every detail to the picture, it is impossible to speak too highly. Then, again, the mechanical working of the figures, as displayed in the evening, was marvellously good. The French troops, with all the parapher nalia of war, approach from the foreground of the picture, and wend their way gradually by zigzsg paths and passes until they arrive at the very height of the Alps, the s;za of the figures diminishing in proportion as they retire from the foreground. The weather in the evening was most unpropitious; never theless, the company were well pleased with the mag nificent pyrotechnic display. But again we commend the picture to the patronage of the public, as a mag nificent work of art, which cannot be viewed as a mere accessory to, or as a vehicle for, the display of fireworks, however good they may be. This effort of the Messrs. Denson has been pronounced to be one of the highest possible merit by some of the first artists of the day, whose opinions we heard. Mr. Tyler's enterprise deserves the best support. THE CHINESE JIINIC.—A very curious spectacle took place yesterday upon the Thames, and one which will long be rememb ere d b y t h ousan d s who witnessed then the first Chinese ship which ever floated on the river. The en terprising owners of this great curiosity having decided upon bringing her from her old mooring in the East India Docks to a poi n t more easy o f access t o the visitors, appointed yesterday for the attempt, and we are glad to say that their exertions were crowned with complete success. The junk left Blackwell, towed by steamers, at seven, A.M., with colours flying and bands playing, amidst the cheers of the as sembled spectators, and pasted througa the Pool in fine sky le, reaching Loudon Bridge about nine, when, after a short de lay, she again went ahead, and shot through the bridge most gallantly, and after passing through Southwark and Black friars Bridges, came to the moorings laid down for her otr he Temple Gardens, and was greeted with a discharge of artillery and the cheers of thousands. Later in the day she was warped into the dock prepared to receive her. We think great praise is due to Captain Shelburne fir his judgment in bringing this immense structure through the arches of the various bridges, with only a few inches clear. When it be came known that the junk was lying in the river, and the (lay being remarkably fine, the small cheap river steamers soon became crowded by those anxious to catch a glance of th, Chinaman before she entered her new berth. SIR JOHN Ross IN SEARCH or SIR JoliN FRANKLIN.—We are inform,ed the Lord Provost, through the liberality of a number of friends, has transmitted 651. towards the equipping of the expedition about to be dis patched under the command of Sir John Rota in search of Sir John Franklin, and that he subscription -list will remain open for another week, to enable those who may wish to aid in this —most probably the last—effort that will be made to rescue from a miserable death one hundred and tort) of the bravest and most devoted seamen that ever trode the deck of a ship.— Caledonian Mercury.
