Ile who patroni s es industry is a punlic benefactor. of wh a t It was this consideration that induced Mews. E. MOSES and SOX to enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ h a „_ dregs of excellent industrious workmen where others would only employ tens. Is must be obvious to all reaFoning men that under the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself might clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and Si oan, with their limited profits, out of the labour of a hundred. Ban ut they have the satisfaction to know th a t the more capit they Use, and the less profit they exact, the more they can patronise the industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant Payment for their labour, while by the se means they produce an article at nearly half the usual, and far better at that price. than has ever been produced before. But the consequ ence of employing a large capital and numbers of people does not end in the mere fact of low prices; for these very low prices for good eothlug enable thou sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices Prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their system, of trading It was impossible to obtain good cheap clothing ; now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in string and good clothing accorstimz to their circumstances. All classes can dress well--all classes ought to dress wet% It is worth the consideration of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their own dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence.

On the contrary, he though the company had done no more than their duty. The defendant was then discharged. George Pearson Barrett, 40, and Enoch Pear son Barrett, 37, were indicted for stealing a truss of gools, the property of the 'London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, and Robert Abbott, 29, who surrendered to take• his trial, was indicted for feloniously receiving a portion of the property, knowing it to. have been stolen. Mr. Olarkson and blr. -- Huddlestone — conducted the prose. cution. The prisoners were severally defended by Mr; O'Brien, Mr. Parnell, and Mr. Woollett. The circumstances of the case were reporteil at the last session, when the two Barrette were convicted of an offence of a similar character. The evidence went to show that Enoch Barrett was in the service of the London and Brighton Railway Company, and he was stationed as switchman at the Brickla - iers'Arms junction, and there' was very little doubt that be and his brother George had been concerned in a very extensive system of plundering goods trains. Abbott, it appeared, was brother-in-law to the other prisoners, and resided at Newport Pagnell. and upon the officer searching his house, he found a watch and other articles the produce ut a robbery that had been committed upon the railway in 1849, and the whole of which he subsequently admitted he had received from the prisoner George Barrett. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty of feloniously re ceiving the property. but recommended Abbott to the merci cou4deration of the Court. Judgment was deferred. THE MURDER OF THE POLICEMAN IN VAUXHALL-WALK. Yesterday evening the inquiry into the circumstances con nected with this horrible murder, which was adjourned for the purpose of affording time for a post-mortem examination of the deceased, was resumed before Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hospital. The room where the jury met for this purpose was exceed ingly small and inconvenient, and the foreman expressed his surprise to the coroner that in such an extensive establish ment, and one in which numerous inquests were held, a more ,commodious place could not have been afforded them for one evening. The CORONER, after consulting for some time with the in spector who has the case in hand, said that he did not think he would find it necessary to detain the jury upon this occa sion. From what he had heard from the inspector, he be lieved he would best consult the ends of justice by adjourning the inquiry for a few days longer. ' Before he did so he should wish to hear the evidence of the house surgeon, Mr.W. Rhys, who had made the post-mortem examination. Mr. W. Rhys said he had made the post-mortem examina tion as directed, but nothing he had noticed had altered his original opinion—namely, that death resulted from extensive injuries to the head. That was the only conclusion he could arrive at after a most careful investigation of the injuries which the deceased had sustained. [Though it did not come out in the evidence yesterday, we may state that the post-mortem examination which was made immediately after the termination of the inquiry on Tuesday last, showed that all the organs of the body were in a perfectly healthy condition. Upon the scalp were several large lacerated wounds, corresponding to which were simple, compound, and comminuted fractures of the skull, extending across the whole of the frontal and spheroid bones. The temporal muscles were completely crushed; the dura mater and brain lacerated, and a large quantity of extravasated blood was found upon both hemispheres of the brain. In fact, hardly a single internal portion of the head had escaped destruction.] The evidence of some of the witnesses was then read over to them, at the conclusion of which, The CORONER expressed a desire to see the stones which were picked up en the spot where the man was murdered. Police-constable Head accordingly produced them, and called the attention of the coroner to certain discolourations upon one, which looked like dried blood; whereupon Mr. W. Rhys was recalled, and stated. in reply to a ques tion from the coroner, that he did not believe the stains were ca 3sed by human blood, cr blood at all. He thought it was entirely owing to the " glaze" having been knocked off, and some slight mineral discolouration taken place, but he would examine it more closely if it was thought necessary. The CORONER having expressed a wish to that effect, Mr. Rhys took away one of the stones, and shortly returned, stating that though the spots which had been indicated were not mineral stains, and wiped away, leaving a slight reddish mark upon white blotting paper, still the result was not sufficiently decisive to enable him to declare it blood. The COZONER then said, he understood that the Commis sioners of Police had taken up the matter with that spirit which they generally showed. and were bound to show, upon this occasion, when one of their men had been killed. He thought it would not be desirable to carry the case be fore the present sessions, as there was not sufficient evidence collected to enable them to prosecute. As the magistrate would no doubt remand the prisoners again, he thought it would be better if they met some time next week, as by that period much important evidence would be forthcoming. The inquiry was then adjourned to Monday next, at two o'clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Those who have advocated and supported that most excel lent measure of the Admiralty, suggested by Admiral Dun das, for the improvement of the condition of the seamen of the navy, and increasing thereby the efficiency of the service in giving the men more pay, more provisions, and less grog, will be truly gratified to hear of the admirable effect it haN produced on thelargest body of men collected under the comm , nd of a flag officer. During the quarter ended on the let of April last, scarcely any corporal punishment took place amongst a force of 6,000. Rear-Admiral H. M. Dixon, the commander-in-chief at Queenstown, has shifted his flag from the Ajax, 60, screw ship, Captain Quin, to the Advice steam tender; and the Ajax. with the Hogue, 60, screw-ship, Captain Macdougall, left Queenstown on Saturday for Spithead, to be paid wages, and remain till further orders.

The last of the Paris races took place in the Champ de Mars yesterday. Just before the hour fixed for ►,he commencement of business, there was a heavy fall of rain, which deterred a vast number of persons from attending; but, as the weather became fine af terwards, a considerable crowd gradually assembled, and before the races were over nearly the whole of the course was lined with spectators. Within the ropes there was a tolerable show of carriages, though it was not equal to whit is witnessed on more favourable occasions. The stands were about two-thirds full, but there were very few ladies in them. The mem bers of the Jockey Club and other sporting charac ters, as usual, mustered in full force. M. Du FALLoux appeared in the Assembly on Saturday. _ _ The Bourse was gloomy, and a decided tendency to a fall in prices was manifested. The Ave per Cents. opened at 90f. 60c., rose to 90f. 75c., but fell subsequently to 90f. 30e., at which price they closed.

The story of the piece is one of those simple themes, a mere situation in fact, in which M. Scribe loves to take from the life of the salons, and which, under his skilful management of half a dozen dramata persona, seems to expand, as if by its own force, into a perfect comedy. Emmeric d'Albret, a young and successful composer, has many good gifts and a brilliant prospect before him—the worthiest of . uncles, the prettiest of cousins—a love for the latter, which 'she very decidedly returns—every possibility of a match which seems sure to make his happiness. But he wears a chain of which he is heartily tired, 3 - et which he cannot break. When became first to Paris he was without friends, interest, or experience—without anything, in fact , : but genius and ambition. He found a guardian-angel in Madame de St. Gerais. In pure pity this lady, by giving, • the young musician that great necessity to success, oppor-' tunity, opened to him the doors of fortune and of tame. lie repaid the service with adoration, and found Lis' angel mortal. Hence a crowd of miseries e hick at once astonish and perplex his friend Hector Ballandard, Crone defirentiere instanec, to whom the life of :he sates* had seemed froda afar the brightest of prospects._ The in terest of the piece, evolved with all the skill of Scribe, turns on the struggles of Emmeric with a tie which -Armour and interest alike make him anxious to break, on the efforts , of Madame de St. Geran to prolong her power, and en the indefatigable zeal and wonderful perplexities of Hector Hal landard, who acts as the never failing scapegoat of his friend, gaining thereby the character of the gayest of deceivers, in ste,:d of that of the purest of aroues. The most remarkable agent, however, in the deliverance of Emmeric, is no less a personage than Monsieur de St. Ge -sn, the mildest and most musical of fetal duellists, the most generous and loyal of deceived husbands. He hears the story of the obstacle through Ballanalard, without, for a moment, suspec ting that the lady in the case is his own wife. whining the love of Having a real kindr.ess ter the young musician, being,. ma re te m h oy b es etw th ee e n y ' r t i h n e . moreover, godfather to the pretty Aline, and posses sing ancient claims on the gratitude of the worthy' . ge doils object,o m that a t s hoef unc o ns c iously the h relations of the several personages— ,a_pepy unsuspecting. s lO u N eh 'er 'Cepuiaputaeslli parent, he r hea t no determines n c h e d r o i i zealous, and astute anth—enitnk and lout. girl—thehi his e lie husband, never hitting on the truth--the . weak I'llFillating: of convenient friends and never -failing arrue.s., Scribe e riage naergdleecnttealnadndpaeisstiroannagteedwwoti fe. woman — t he these aranp. on the marriage ' produce and manage, ending, of course in Madame St. Greran' e s' ut the cousins being made practicable by of this . , resignation of her power.

A two act farce from the pen of Mr. Robert Brough wu produced last night at this theatre, under the title of Kensington Gardens. It sets hailed with peals of laughter throughout, and proved a decided hit. A fast young man (Mr. A. Davies), in amusing himself by rather impertinently addressing every petticoat he encounters in the gardens, is at last invited by a Member of Parliament's wife to drive home to dinner, as she can by no other means get rid of his importunities. Here to his horror he finds a large party assembled, to whose faces he is mercilessly quizzed by the lady of the mansion (Mra. Seymour), and introduced to each guest as " the gentleman with whom she has not the honour of being acquainted." Among otbers, how ever, he finds her niece, his old flame (Miss E. Romer), ,with whom he is, of course, at length made happy, but not until after some highly ludicrous passages of arms with the other personages, of whom the principal are a duelling old Colonel,( Mr. Tilbury), a snobby gent. (Mr. Rogers), and a pert waiting-maid (Min Marshall). Had the principal character been in the bands of a good light comedian the cast might have been pro nounced perfect; as it was the piece went off admirably. Mr. Rogers, in his small part, was delicious. He is a thorough artist in his line; indeed he and Mr. Tilbury- un derstand the mystery of " dressing" a character as wellas any actors en the boards. The entire piece is replete with fun, and on the fall of the curtain the honour of a recall wag accorded to all the dramatis pc? sone, and the author crossed the foot-lights amidst vehement plaudits. The was excellently attended, and the good humour of the audi ence unbounded. (From the Daily News.) Kensington Gardens—a topic of the day just now— were list evening made the subject of a sparkling little comedy, in two acts, by Mr. Robert Brough . The fun is based upon the lady-hunting propensities 'et a gentleman, who afterwards meets in a drawing-room the young ladies he has annoyed in the gardens. Mrs. Seymour, as a digni fied married lady, and Miss Marshall, as a pert waiting woman, acted well. The piece was quite successful, and was performed to a full house. Mr. Robert Brough, at its conclu sion, was t ailed upon to bow his acknowledgment., befbre the curtain. . , • , / / , , • . I , ‘„ at4'll,-• I , ‘ -,".. • - 4 ' el l d (~' • 5 . 10 .

ALBAN'S BRIBERY COMMISsION.—The Bill for appointing Commissioners to inquire into the existence of bribery in the borough of St. Albans, prepared and brought in by Mr. Ellice and Mr. H. Stuart , recites that it is expe dient to appoint such Commissioners, with a secretary and clerks, as there is reason to believe that the practice of bribery at elections of Members to serve in Parliament has long prevailed in St. Alban's, and that bribery to a great ex tent has been systematically committed there at the last election; that great difficulty has been hitherto experienced in obtaining complete proof of this system of bribery, by reason of the contrivances of certain parties, more or less im plicated in the same; that it would tend to insure a full discovery of it if an inquiry wer e made on the spot by au thorized Commissioners. inquiry Commissioners are to report from time to time to Parliament, and are to have power to send for persons and papers. Persons implicated in bribery who may be examined, and who make a faithful discovery, are to be indemnified from criminal prosecutions. It is pro posed that each Commissioner shall receive five guineas a day, over and above travelling and other expenses. The latest accounts concerning the whereabouts of the " ab ducted" witnesses H award, Waggett, Birchmote, and ske ggs is to the effect that they were at Boulogne.

The period of the play is fixed a hundred years ago, -tid the action occurs in the vicinity of Carli,le. The princ,pal characters are an old miser, his daughter, her accepted suitor, a rejected lover, a " village sca►m," and an officer of the law. These various p.-rsonages are brought together under cir cumstances which lead to the impression that they are sufficiently acquainted with each other's peculiarities as to render it somewhat difficult for any vcry violent contest to arise amongst them. Nevertheless, such is die magic power exercised by the dramatist, that a murder is committed by one of he fraternity. and he murderer is supposod to be the accepted lover of the victim's daugh ter. Jealousy has been the cause of this accusation, and a prison the effect of it. The real culprit, of course, remains unknown until the conclusion of the piece, whilst the in nocent lover, who is made to answer for the charge, is exposed , o sundry trials of patience and endurance, which are sufficient to drown all his hopes of a satisfactory ter mination to his attachment. The scenes of love and re venge which take place in the meantime are necessarily of the most eistressing character, but in the end the virtuous are rewarded, and the vicious very properly punished, by command of the law, and to the satisiaction of the audience. The serious portion of the piece is, as usual, relieved by the exploits of buffoons, who appear ever and anon for the purpose of raising a laugh, often at the expense of com mon sense, but still to the delight of the contented occupants of pit and gallery. The drama was very creditably repre sented, and, as the production of a young writer, it may be said to give some promise, inasmuch as its chief merit 'does not lie in prolonged dialogue, but in a satisfactory attempt at dramatic action. The play was quite successful, although the applause at the conclusion was not of that vehement character which marks an undoubted triumph at this the atre. As to the title—Michaelmas Day—it has nothing whatever to do with the piece, which might just as appropri ately be called " Good Friday" or " Shrove Tuesday. --- - - The balance-sheet of the Great Central Bth of March last, GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS GCasoucronArn•---;rs Company, from its commencement to the dhas been 143,277/. has been issued.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION IN THE CILGWYN QUARRIES. —On Thursday last an explosion, which has greatly injured four persons, and might have been attended with fatal re sults, took place iii the Cilgwyn Quarries. Half a ton of blasting powder was kept in a building appropriated to the purpose, about 100 yards from the works.

It is of the highest , importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?reached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all dames of Insurers whose. Policies have Been in force for three years. Insurances against Lose by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Prooerty on moderate terms.

ASYNOPSIS OF A SYSTEM. The " Thnes" newspaper of the 9th of April, in an able arti cle en the sanitary condition of society, says—" That it can no lonzer be said that the working Englishman is ill clothed." The writer is convinced, as must be everybody on observation, that a complete change has taken place within the last few years in this respect—a change whose origin is easily demonstrable, on an impartial review of FIYAM and Co.'s operations. The proprietors have already argued and proved their priority in coi.nexion with that system which has done so much for the commu- cy at large, as every candid statist has seen and acknowledged. When HYAM aeid Co. proje'ted their first undertaking many years ago, and hazarded a large capital in bringing into operation an en tirely new order of things, they found the tailoring trade in the posses sion and under the control of private speculators, who found the high prices of the few sufficient for their own personal consideration. Now, however advantageous and lucrative this system of things may have proved to those who practised it, it was undoubtedly most Inimical to the interests of the public at large; confining, as it did, the bene fits of good Oothing to the possessors of plentiful purses. HYAM and Co , on carefully weighing this state of things, resolved on starting a system of cheapness, assured that an adequate compen sation would be realised in what they would term " THE MONEY OF THE MANY." - - - Such an immense reduction did HYAlid . and Co. make in the old exorbitant profits, that the practicability of the system was for a con siderable time regarded as a matter of doubt ; but the money of the many was secured, and the money of. the man - , as anticipated, re moved every stumbling•block, and brought about a successful work ing of the system. Let it not be understood, kowever, that cheap ness was the only feature iu HYAM and Co.'s n.w system. It would have been very easy for the proprietors to have accommodated mat ters by manufacturing inferior materials, and by employing second rate cutters and workmen. But the contrary of this was the case. While the r trading glass was low in point of price, it was high with reference to those essential particulars— FASHION AND QUALITY. The money of the many, which enabled them to sell at a moderate rate, enabled them, also, to buyithe best materials, and to employ the best workmen. The interests of all classes had never before been assimilated in the tailoring trade ; an invidiou distinction was in variably made, and if a person, not happily situated in a pecuniary cease, desired an article of dress, he was insulted by being presented with a perfectly different design in cut and make. Ind HYAM and Co. discarded such practices. and 'convinced the public that first-rate articles of dress could be sold for charges which appeared at one tune a very doubtful novelty. Such was the system of lIYAM and Co., a system which Great Britain at large has recognised in the most satisfactory manner; and hence that improved appearance in clothing to which the first jour nal in the world has alluded. True, indeed, it is, that an improvement in this respect is ma nifest. The Ten Establishments f HYAM and Co. in the most popular end populous towns in England, Ireland, and Scotland, and a 550,001. capital are not em:,loyed without effect. From thousands and hundreds of thousands do HYAM and Co. meet with support; by all classes of the community are their arti cles of attire adopted, and in every direction are the proprietors' fashions traceable; nor can lIYAM and Co. (while they feel grateful for such results) refrain from some degree of self-congratulation at thus being the projectors and promoters of a system which has pro duced so evident an improvement, in one feature at least, of the sani tary condition of the British public. • lIYAM and Co., Tailors, Clothiers, and Manufacturers.

William Griffin, a young ma n of respectable appearance, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of assaulting Maria Palmer, Mr. Huddestone conducted the prosecution on behalf of the South-Eastern: Railway Company; Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Robinson appeared for the defendant. The Learned COUNSEL, in opening the case, said that the directors of the South-Eastern Railway had felt it their duty to institute this prosecution on account of the assault im puted to the defendant having been committed upon a person in humble circumstances, who was at the time a traveller in one of their trains. They felt that a person in such a posi tion was entitled to receive protection front every description of insult and annoyance; and upon the facts coming to their knowledge they considered it their duty to take care that the matter should be investigated by a jury. The particulars of the case having been given in evidence Mr. BALLANTINE, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said he would not attempt to deny that the company had only performed their duty in bringing forward the present charge; but at the same time he hat great confidence that the jury would not convict a young man who, he should show them, had up to this time borne an unimpeachable character, and for ever destroy his reputation, upon the evi dence that had been laid before them. Several highly respectable witnesses ware then examined, all of whom described the defendant as being entitled to the character of a well-conducted respectable young man. The jury stopped the Learned Recorder as he was about to sum up, and said they were unanimously of opinion that the charge had not been made out ; and they therefore returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The RECORDER remarked that although the jury had come to this . conclusion, there was no _doubt that it was a very proper matter to be inquired into.

The following was the Speech of the Paha- DENT to the Council : " Gentlemen,—The l'rusian Chambers have arrived at the close of their second regular session, which has occupied more than four months of your continued activity. " The commencement of your deliberations fell in an agitated and critical period. Against threatening dangers the collective military force of the kingdom was called out, on a scale in which it had never been sum atoned before, and with a result that tilled the Prus-ian people v:ith the conscioasne;s of their own strength and commanded the respect of foreign nations, In the me3n rime cireuraiances arose under which his Majesty's Go vernment believed, alter due and conscientious conside ' ration, they could avoid the confLet with States or the German race. But it was na!ural that in the state of reeling in the country other views of the posi tion of affairs would Lot remain without expr ssion during your debates. "Still Pie patriotism or both Chambers avoided a con flict which would only have damaged tit.. position or t'russia externally', and injured her internal devt•lopmeLt —a conflict which none but the enemies of Prussi.l could :rave r,garded with hope. " With z at you have applied to your high mission, and by the fruits of your activity earned now claims to the thanks of the nation. " Thirty-four Bills, after going through the constitu tional discussion in both Chambers, have been laid be fore the Government, and in part, after receiving the Ito) al sanction, have been published in the collection of laws. 'You have the satisfaction of knowing that anew penal code, which has been in preparation for many years to supply a pressing deficiency, owes its completion to your exertions. "By your assent to the law on a class and classified income-tax, you have maintained the means of meeting the increased demands on the expenditure: , I the S ate, by which the less wealthy classes of the population are not only spared an increase of taxation, but in part have had the burdens on them even much lightened. " The State expenditure for the year 1851 has been fixed, and by granting a credit of 11,500,000 thalers you nave given the Government the means of covering the expenses occasioned by calling out the army, which have nut been incurred without many and permanent :advan vantages for the military power. " It some draughts of laws have not been completed in this session, yet their discussion, the many proposals from the Chambers themselves, and the petitions pre sented to them, have furnished the Government with materials which, you may be assured, will receive the most careful consideration. " By the decisions you have come to on the Bills laid before you, you have given the Government the assur ance that it is, in essential points, in accordance with the Legislative bodies of the nation. It will be the care of the Government to preserve and increase this accord by a vigorous yet careful execution of the laws you have passed. " The retrospect of the session is thus calculated to confirm the assurance that the old Prussian spirit is still powerful in the forms which, under your co-operation, have become the Constitution of the country, and that the chief condition of the development of Prussia on its historical basis has remained unaffected by the confusions of the time. " The enemies of this development, who are the ene mies of divine and human order in general, certainly rest as little as the passions by which they are agittted. But revolution, wherever and under whatever form it may appear, will find Prussia armed and the Govern ment watchful and firm, " The threatening attitude of this enemy, irrespective of other grounds, renders it the imperative duty of all the German Governments no longer to leave Germany without a central organ, generally recognised both withia Germany itself and by foreign powers. " Whether the German Governments now return to the form of the older Constitution of the Bund, cr whether the plans, by no means abandoned, of a new organization of that Constitution, will be reaiiz'd in a practicable form, the indepe-ndent developm, tit of Prussia shall not thereby be in any way endangered. " But the true and silent guarantee for a happy and glorious future for our country, its political and material welfare, its increasing internal prosperity, and its influ ence and power abroad, you will, with his Majesty's Government, find in the unweart, d holding together, and co-operation of all those who unite in truth and faith under the motto of a great and glorious era—' With God for King and Fatherland.' " The PRESIDENT then declared, in the name of the KING, that the session was closed. Tne Lloyd announces the arrival at Vienna of an English courier, with important dispatches for the s EMPEROR.
