Had you been an attentive , observer of the anticipations promulgated by the organs of public opinion, you never would have in dulged in the gross inaccuracy of charging the journalism of the country with what has been, in truth, but an exceptional proceeding. However, let that pass as a venial error. "He found the Government paralysed by the thought that, if it failed, they would have thousands to pay; if it succeeded, they would have millions to keep in order. He found the public bewildered; it knew not what to do, what to wish, what to expect. Who, then, was for it ? No one save the Prince and the small knot of enterprizing men whom he bad associated with himself and par tially inspired with his enthusiasm. The fact was, we were not prepared for it. We talked, indeed, of progress; we admired the physical results of pro gress, but the effect of our discoveries on the social and political relations of mankind we were all blind to. We were like full-fledged birds sitting on the brink of the nest, conscious of fresh powers, bat ignorant of the mighty range which their deve!op ment had brought within our scope. But it was not so with Prince ALBERT ; he felt that GOD had not given us the genius of discovery, had not entrusted us with dominion over the powers of nature, that it should all end in cheapness. He felt that nations might be brought together with their works, and that through this Industrial Congress some advance might be made towards that unity of mankind, that univer sal peace which has been the dream of philanthropic men from SULLY to Ewan Bustairr ; but those good men mistook their means of action, and brought ridi cule upon their sacred mission. They thought peace might be enforced by Amphytrionic councils, that they could quell the hot blood of controversy and fright it into propriety ; they thought that the lust for war might be controlled by the fear of war—that a majority would always be on the side of peace. But a sounder philosophy has taught us that prevention is better than punishment; and as we seek to keep peace among citizens by softening their hearts, by training and civilization, so also we might soften the hearts of nations, one towards the other, by such meetings as this. In this faith—in this steadfast faith—he got this ark reared—the ark of a new cove nant among nations. In this faith he sent forth his missives into all lands—in this same faith the nations of the earth have responded to his appeal; they have understood his meaning, and have sent you, gentle men, to represent them in this first great gathering." Fervently would we pray that the Industrial Con gress may be found to tend towards the consumma tion of universal brotherhood ; at all events it may easily be more effectual towards that desirable con summation than the amiable weakness of the Peace Congress. Of the merits of the PRINCE CONSORT there is but one opinion throughout the empire, an opinion, we may observe, en passant, which has never been more nervously or generally expressed than in a nobly written article which appeared in the last number of the great weekly organ of democracy, and which.we have already transferred to our columns, with a cordial concurrence in its entire spirit. In a perfectly happy strain did the chairman propose the health of the foreign guests of the feast. In confessing the excellence, the superiority in many works displayed by foreign countries, he gave utterance to the follow ing sentiments, creditable to his own judgment, and, we doubt not, gratifying to the representatives of those nations with whom we are at the present hour con nected by the close ties of hospitality :—" We appre hend from your success no national impoverishment, for we know, that to purchase from you we must have money, and to have money we must sell some thing, of our own ; and as both those operations are the spontaneous acts of individuals, for their private gain, the results of both must be a gain to the na tions engaged in the exchange, for the gains of a na tion are made u p o f th e ga i ns o f its people. N or i n your success do we see cause for shame, cause for jealousy, cause for repining—far from it; we see in it the hand of GOD, working for the good of all. It has pleased Him to give to all nations the same genius of discovery, the same divine spirit, but at the same time to vary the conditions under which it is exercised. Di versity of soils, of climate; diversity of language to vary the channels of thought, of usages to vary men's wants—all these concur to give to each nation its pe culiar excellences in the market of the world, and those varieties of excellence promote not only inter change of commodities, but of ideas, of experience, of inventions, of good services, without which the se , veral states of Europe, with all their boasted knowledge, all their civilization, would sink in a few short years into the condition of China or Japan. It is in this persuasion that we have laboured to promote this Exhibition, that we have hailed your arrival within our shores; but, now that we have met face to face, now that we have shaken hands, it is not political economy, but it is a kindly spirit —a spirit of affec tionate regard—that bids us raise our glasses to our lips and wish you all a hearty welcome." M. TAN DE WEYER, who knows the English people well, declared that when "he saw the whole civilized world responding to the appeal which had been made by Prince ALBERT, and sending to this country the richest products of their industry and arts, he felt how deep must be the general confidence in British institutions, and how nobly that confi dence bad been fulfilled by the people in whom it was placed." M. C. Duns, who has an European reputation in connexion with industry and the arts, proposed the health of the Royal Commissioners in an eloquent discourse highly laudatory both of the motives and practical exertion of that body ; and the speeches of M. Vox VIEBAHN and the Chevalier DE BURG were in perfect unison with the truthfulness and cordiality which pervaded those of their co -orators. Mr. PAXTON, designated by the proposer of his health as " one of the great captains of the world's industry," with that modesty which is the appropriate concomitant of superior merit, avoided a single syllable of self-laudation. He expressed himself "highly gratified in having been instrumental in bringing the produce of the world's industry, and, what was better, the world'a children, together. He had, he confessed, put the country to some unnecessary expense in inventing sweeping ma chinery of a hundred housemaid-power, for he now found that the Crystal Palace was swept thoroughly clean every day by the silks and satins of the fair visitors. He had a main interest in the un dertaking, and therefore he rejoiced in it§ pre sent success." That undertaking would never have been developed to the gaze of the world in its present unrivalled sublimity but for the inventive genius of JOSEPH PAXTON, to whom, perhaps, not the least gratifying instance of the amicable relations ripening beneath the genial influence of his vast In dustrial Conservatory was yesterday afforded by the festive gathering at Richmond. Mr. HUME seconded the motion, which was opposed by Sir G. GREY. Mr. ANSTET then rose to address the House, be was counted out, there being only 31 Members present CRICKET I CRICKET ! CRICKET !

Englishmen have, time out of mind, evinced such enthusiasm in maintaining the manly sports of the field, that we may count upon their rendering this Derby-day worthy in all respects of one attended by foreign visitors from all quarters of Christendom, Notwithstanding the sinister predictions of some in dividuals to the contrary, we remain convinced that upon no other occasion will the greatest race-course in the world have been covered with a more numerous, a more motley, or a more remarkable multitude of spectators. Sufficient assurance of our correct ness in these anticipations has been afforded, we ima gine, in the spectacle visible this morning in most of the principal thoroughfares of the metropolis.

" Whisky, baggy, gig, or go-cart, Curricle or tanduw,' tattled with each other in the more frequented horoughfares for precedence in that great procession, which at one period of the day might be said literally to reach almost in an unbroken line from the Grand Stand to Hyde Park Corner. Another and essentially national amusement will therefore have been this afternoon displayed for the gratification of the foreigners now amongst us as visitors to the Great Exhibition, and this, too, under circumstances pecu liarly and unusually advantageous. Everything, indeed, has tended of late to impart a more than ordinary interest to an event which at all times is certain to excite an astonishing degree of ardour among almost all ranks of society. Insomuch that additional animation has recently been betrayed in all the preparations for the most memorable sporting event of the season, heavier stakes than usual having been variously laid by the chief men of the turf on Hernandez and Prime Minister, Marlbo rough Buck and Teddington, Heartbreaker and Bonnie Dundee, not forgetting Lamartine and Con stellation, a new fervour having betrayed itself from DAVIES down even to the least noticeable man in the Ring. While this enthusiasm has been betrayed by the promoters of perhaps the most noble and invigorating sport indulged in by Englishmen, it is satisfactory to think, that unlike last year, no sinister attempts are being made in seoresy to drag the nation back into the slough of superstition, from which it has scarcely yet been extricated. Our allusion will here be understood, of course, to have reference to the cir cumstance of Parliament being surprised into adopt ing the bigoted notions of the Sabbatarians, by the Noble Lord the Representative of the city of Bath introducing his motion in reference to Post-office re gulation between the days of the Derby and the Oaks. Having failed so egregiously in this trick, twelve months ago, we may feel agreeably convinced that the people may henceforth indulge in a recreation, to the vast majority by no means demoralizing, without any fear of being hocus-pocussed into a trap laid for them by the Sabbatarians.

Benefits to the survivors arise fortunately out of he most lamentable occurrences—the benefits, for example, of suggesting precautions of such a cha racter as may screen the rest of soeiety from their re currence. It is thus most clearly that we may always cull the flower safety from the nettle danger. It is in this manner we may verify the old adage, " That that is indeed an ill wind which blows no body any good." Regarded in this light, accidents, even of the most frightful description may be turned, sorrowfully but surely, to the world's advantage. Hence we have come to look upon the coroner's inquest holden upon .!asualties with feelings something different from those .it' mere idle curiosity, and would refer to them upon all occasions in something more than expressions of merely useless lamentation. An allusion of this character, therefore, may be made just now, not in opportunely, to the fatal catastrophe which took place in Gracechurch-street on the morning of Satur day. From the evidence given before Mr. PAYNE, the Coroner for the City of London, it would be diffi cult to draw any other deduction than one most entirely exculpatory to all parties concerned in the erection of the building, which unexpectedly fell in, notwithstanding the adoption of more than ordinary precautions. Among other things, it was demonstrated that the brick walls of the edifice, the outer walls supporting the iron roof, had been constructed by the thickness of half a brick more strongly than the Act required. Nevertheless, the endeavour thus made by the contractors to prevent the possibility of any accident fatal to the inmates proved unavailing, four men having perished in consequence of the terrible calamity on Saturday, and many more having been grievously wounded and maimed by the same occurrence. From this it must, we conceive, be obvious that while blame cannot be attached indi. vidually to any of those concerned in the con struction of the building, blame is attached necessa rily to the framers of an Act which has proved inade quate in the way of enforcing the desired precautions. From the testimony of the architect, to whom the edifice in question partially belonged, it will be seen that the district surveyor had never made any complaint or representation of insecurity whatever. That circum stance, it must be acknowledged, furnishes the witness above mentioned with the most complete and satis torily exoneration. The responsibility passes from his shoulders to those of the surveyor. It remains, consequently, still to be shown whether the proper course was pursued in every instance relating to the unfortunate house now in ruins, or whether its down fal was solely attributable to a casualty altogether unavoidable. In his chemical disquisitions Sir DAVID Baawrrau mentions, to our vivid remembrance, the facts that diamonds and other precious stones have been known at times to explode in consequence of air holes previously unobserved in them expanding with any unusual heat in the atmosphere. As impossible as it would be to guard against occurrences of this kind, we conceive it would be to prevent entirely the rupture of cast-iron roofs from causes as unconjec tured or as inaccessible to remedy. From all these considerations we rest satisfied with the verdict pro- nounced by the coroner's jury yesterday, a verdict and Which pr onounce d t h e b reaking of one of the iron g ir ders of the r oo f i n G racec h urch-street as purely wholly accidental. • PUNCH'S PLAYHOUSE AND STRAND THEATRE.

Southby ; and an allegorical tableau of the arts and sciences, depositing their treasures at the feet of her Majesty Queen Yictoria, the whole forming the most gorgeous spec. facto ever witnessed. REPRESENTATION OF SUNDERLAND. We extract the following from the Durham Chronicle of Friday last:— "It has been rumoured in the political circles this week that it is the intention of Sir Hedworth Williamson to retire from the representation of Sunderland, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, and that the Con servatives have determined to bring forward William Rigby Seymour, Esq., barrister-at -law, as a candidate for the next election, on Protectionist principles. Let the Freetraders look ahead!" A letter from Vienna of the 15th, addressed to the Cologne Gazette, says—" It is not yet certain that the Emperor of AUSTRIA will go to Warsaw. The journals know nothing positive on this subject. The Municipal Council of Olmutz has published a modifi cation to the effect that his MAJESTY intends to pass some days in that town, and, as many great person agss are expected, apartments are being prepared for their reception."

In proposing the health of Prince ALBERT, the patron and author of the Exhibition, Lord ASHBURTON alluded to the difficulties which his Royal Highness had to encounter in bringing it to its present trium phant issue.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENINn, MAY 21, 1851. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The N ational has the following on the Legitimatist declaration in favour of a revision of the Constitu tion : " It is evident at present that representatives named to defend republican institutions conspire openly to over turn such institutions ; that the President of the Re• public has for two years called to his councils men who proclaim aloud that the sole object of their efforts is the destruction of the Republic; that at present the great portion of the highest functions of the State are in the hands of the declared enemies of the Republican Govern ment; that, after the declaration made in the tribune by M. Berryer in January last, after the decision come to two days beck by the meeting of the Rue de Rivoli, the creatures of MM. Berryer and de Falloux are main tained by M. Bonaparte in all the positions in which they can serve the intrigues of the restorers of divine right. The Republicans are warned : there are in thu Assembly, in the high regions of power, men who conspire to overthrow the Republic, and bring back royalty without adjournmmt in September, 1851. The Rtpublicans, confident in the right, wait patiently for the constitutional date of May, 1852; the Royalists, impatient of such tranquillity, give the signal of civil war by provoking a monarchical revolution. Well, we are ready. Calm and patient, we shall wait for 1852, if the dekstable projects which are thus announced do not go beyond the columns of the Royalist journals; but strong in our right and in our moderation, we will greet every attack egainst the Republic and the Constitution, as We greeted in 1830 the attacks of M. de Polignac and his consorts. The Royalists declare to us that they are going to agitat e t h e country to overturn the Re public. Let them give the signal of agitation, and we promise them that the Republicans will follow them in that course. The Republicans desire peace—that peace which the monarchy was never able to give; if the Royalists desired emotion, they shall have it. Let them raise the white flag, we, on our sides, will agitate our flag of the revolution, and there will not be in France a commune, a village, or a hamlet, which will not rise to the cry of Vive la Repub lique!' On them be the responsibility of events!" The Canstitutionnel states that the Central Com mittee of the Electoral TJnion has determined to peti tion in favour of a revision of the Constitution. The Debats is in favour of a revision of the Con stitution, provided it be done legally, but not otherwise. M. TRIERS and General CLIANGARNIER are opposed to the revision, the former says that he considers the great want of the country to be a Re publican President. The Prefect of Marseilles has suspended two of the companies of the National Guard of that city for shouting " Vive la Republique !" " Vive la Const: tution !" 111. SAUTAYRA, a member of the Extreme Left, has presented the following proposition,, which has been referred for examination to the 20th Committee of Parliamentary Initiative : "Art. 1. All telegraphic dispatches intended to be published or posted up, either wholly or in part, shall be inserted textually in the Moniteur on the day follow. ing that on which they shall have been sent off.—Art. 2. It is interdicted to any public functionary to make any addition, under any form, to the dispatches which he may receive, either in support or c orro b orat i on of, or to complet e the news or the advice which they may contain." THE S The Moniteur publishes an official return of the receipts of the Customs' Duties for the months of April, 1849, 1850, and 1951, which amounted to 10,481,644 f, 8,990,320 f., and 9,667,120 f. respec tively. The receipts for last month, therefore, show an increase of 676,800 f. over the corresponding month of 1850, and a decrease of 814,524 E, as compared with the month of April, 1849. The total receipts of the first four months of 1851 amount to 36,426,245 f. ; in 1850, they were 36,845,319 E, and in 1849, 39,093,907 E Mr. MORE OTERRALL, Governor of Malta, ac- companied by his lady, arrived on the 16th at Mar seilles by the Merlin steamer.

Madrid j ourna l s of th SP AI e 15h have been received. In the election at Barcelona, the President of the Council, BRAVO MURILLO, has been defeated by a Progresista, and &imams, the ex-Minister of the Interior, has been defeated at Cuenca. A letter from Madrid of the 15th says-- " There are numerous reports in circulation on the subject of a modification in the Ministry. It is said that MM. Arteta and Gonzales Romero will be replaced. Many people, however, who profess to be well-informed on the subject say, that no change will take place until after the opening of the session of the Cortes. MM. Seijas, Mayans, Benavid es , and Gon za l o M oron are spoken of as t h e persons who ' would come into the Ca binet in the event of any change being made. M. Seijas would represent the moderate opposition; M. Mayans the independent fraction of the Chamber, and M. Moron or M. Bonaiides the old Conservative oppo sition." The Epoca quotes a. letter from Seville, announcing that a frightful catastrophe had occurred in the garden of the Duke of MOIVTEENSIER, at Alcala del Rio. The PRINCE bad caused =a steam-engine to be placed in it for its irrigation,- and the 10th instant was fixed for its trial. His Royal Highness fortunately could not assist at the operation as he intended, having been obliged to repair on that day to Villamaurique. As the boiler to be used for the experiment was not new, it was agreed }bat it should be slowly heated, but either from tieglect or imprudence on the part of the engineer, flak boiler exploded, and over threw the building, burying under its ruins sixty six or seventy persons assisting at the experiment as operatives or mere spectators. M. LATOUR, secre tary of the commands ot the Duke, on hearing of the accident, immediately repaired to the spot, ac companied by the physidan in attendance at the Palace. On their arriviil eight dead bodies and sixteen wounded had been removed from under the rubbish. It being the festivity Of : SAN IBIDRo, the Bourse remained closed. ,RKETIS PORTUGAL. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Lisbon, the 12th, says :—" The Progressist movement assumes the most serious character, and eppeal to be desirous of going beyond the object of SeLnatetis. A report is spread that at Oporto the abdication of the QUEEN is de manded. SALnANUA himself is so alarmed as to the consequences of this agitation cif the public mind, that he has not dared to quit Oporto. He has not succeeded in forming a Ministry." GERMANY. Before the closing of the conferences at Dresden on the 14th, it was resolved that a mobile federal army should not be formed, but that the Govern ments should hold their contingents ready to act promptly on the orders of the Federal Government. The different co n ti ngen t s are to form a f orce of 125,000 men .

A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna of the 18th states that the Government had issued a decree to the effect that the paper money, with a forced currency, should not be increased beyond the sum of 200,000,000 florins.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. 83 The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti ea% mated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were I 4 4 taken for expert and on speculation. The sales com prised 100 Pernam and Marnham at 7d. to Sid.; 500 Surat at 3/d. to 4/d.; 50 Sea Island at is. 4d. to Is. 7d., and the remainder American. The market closed fi steadily, but prices of American were rather lower.-- The market for Railway Shares was exceedingly bad, at 121 considerably l ower rates, an d closed with a further down ward tendency. 2433 e% The Indigo auctions have been brought to a close. Of the quantity offered, 2,492 chests were bought in, 1 12 % 4,724 withdrawn, and 3,200 sold; of which 2,000 were for export, 500 for consumption, and 700 for re-sale. Compared with February, good and fine shipping sorts are at par, old and defective at par to 3d. per lb. lower, broken and consuming par to 3d. lower, Madras 2d. to 4d., and Kurpah par to 3d. per lb. lower. is. The letters by the steamer Pacific from America are 58 52 % of three days' later date. The state of the dry goods 54 % % market at New York is described as follows: " The active demand for goods, which has prevailed since the opening of internal navigation, is rapidly satis fying itself, and activity begins to abate, while stocks remain, for most descriptions of woollens and cottons, heavy, and with continued pressure on the market, prices keep drooping. Unbleached sheetings and shirtings are in fair but moderate demand, and heavy in prices. Bleached sheetings and shirtings are in light request for present wants, and continue gradually to de cline. Drills are in fair demand, partly for export, and prices are more steady. Osnaburghs are more active, but at a decline in price. Denims have been inac tive, owing to the sale announced for to-day; the sale was large and attracted considerable attention. The large is% offering was presented under very unfavourable circum stances of the market, and low prices only could be ex . pected; 3,000 cases thus forced on the market while the A m i . demand is small, is very depressive. Stripes and ticks, though in fair demand, are heavy in price, from the amount of stock pressing for sale. Cotton flannels are in moderate request at steady rates. Printing clothe are selling to a moderate extent, but the stock is large and pressing for sale, which destroys the firmness of prices; the tendency is downwards. Prints are not so active— the heavy sales made during the last two or three weeks, for the West and Northwest, do not continue. A large r 2 1,1,% stock remains behind, and prices are heavy. Gingleams " and delaines both enjoy the enviable position of small stocks, relative to the demand, and firm prices, which have yielded a good profit for the season now at its close. Lawns are more active, at steady prices. Cotton pantaloonery is dull and heavy. Cloths are yet in large stocks held without much firmness, holders being desirous to sell; manufacturers are taking the alarm at the continued dis proportion between the prices of wool goods, and are restricting productions materially. Cassimeres are dull. Fancies are pressed on the market at declining prices, and plain goods are held with firmness. Satinets are in large stocks, and are dull, with some degree of heavi ness, though manufacturers seem more disposed to ad vance production than sacrifice their stook. Tweeds are in good request at declining rates; the stock being large and pressing. Jeans are also lower, with a limit e d busi ness doing. Sh ee p greys are steady and in demand. g Blankets are in more request, and steady. Flannels are drooping. The auction sales are large, and much domestic stock is there offering, which adds to the de pression. French goods sell only in the auction-room, and continue low in price. The very large sales that have been made this season, and at low prices, must have satisfied fully the cousumptive' demand of the whole Union. British goods are also lower, sharing in the general depression of the market. The sale lasted one hour, and netted 300,000 dollars." The steamer brings, as was expected, a good deal of bullion, the high rate of exchange on London promoting remittances. Later advices from Chili represent the Republic as being very prosperous. From Peru we hear of the political state of the country being still unsatisfactory. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 19th inst. was very firm, and business was tolerably animated. The English Funds have been very firm, but this being " Derby" day there is not much doing. Consols have been 97# to / tor Transfer, and 97/ for Account.

Cotton —On receipt yesterday morning of the Europa advices of the 26th ult., from Liverpool, of id. decline, the market was unsettled, and but few transaction s were effected. Breadstuffs—Flour—Th e market still remains unset• tied, and prices are again lower. The arrivals are largo for the demand, which is mostly confined to the want° of the home trade, the export inquiry being light- Grain—There is a modente milling demand for wheat, without much change in price. Good samples of Gene' see are held at 113 c. to 1143-c.; sales of 6,000 bushels at 112. to 114ic.; 2,500 bushels good Ohio, at about 960 TELEGRAPHIC REPORT. NEW ORLEANS, MAT 8, EIGHT r. 3 r.

CORN EXCIIAN GE -WEDNESDAY Notwithstanding that the supply of English Wife on sale in to-day's market was very moderate, the de mend for all kinds, as the attendance of buyers was U 5 usually small, ruled heavy, at almost nominal goo: tions. Fine foreign Wheats were held at full prices, tg; all other kinds were very slow in sale, yet we canna call them cheaper. Scarcely any English Barley' offering, but th e su ppl y o f f ore i gn was to l era bly pow The demand for grinding and distilling purpose! ffs s tolerably fi rm , a t l ate rates. Although the quan tity 0 ,. Malt was by no means extensive, that article moved off , slowly, at M on d ay ' s currency. Oats—the s h o w °I which was small—moved off freely at full prices.
