The Crystal . lace contales the result of immense t alent and industry ; but the 'elders there accumulated are also the results of cares and anxieties I ,_ a Paralleled in the history of art , manufactures, and commerce. "right It not to teach our wealthy classes an important lesson's Art, Is tence, and manufactures, impatronised and unprotected, would Progress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility and gentry see i'' one view the wonders that ca n be achieved under the fostering , ire of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi -2n to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of mankind may Universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be ac hieved. He who patronises i ndustr y is a p ublic benefactor. It was this consideration that induced Messrs. E. MOSES and SON to enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun dred „, , as ' of excellent industrious workmen where others would only n rJoY tens. Is must be o bvious to all reasoning men that under the old system of large proffts h e who looks only to himself might clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON can, with their limited pr,,lits, out of the labour of a hundred. But they have the satisfaction to kno w that the more capital they can use, ofae, and th e l ess profit they exact , the more they can patronise the paymentr, for their labour, the country, by finding men constant work and instant e a v t e i r l " t while by these means they produce an nearly half the usual, and far better at that price. th in has ,_rgebeen produced before. But the consequence of employing a ; 4 1_ capital . and numbers of people does not end in the mere fact of _ • . low prices • , • , or these very low prices for good c'othing enable th,e -4 Sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES an d SON established their system of tradin g it was impossible ti obtain good cheap clothing; now the poorest of th e l a b our i ng c lasses can dress in strong and good e othing accordint to their circumstances. All classes can dress well —all classes aught to dr e ss well. It is worth the c onsideration e f t he wealthy, whether they o ught not to save half the cos t of their own dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor -1 . tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS, appropriate a for everybody.

On the first landing of the staircase is an excellent liloness of the late Duke in his peer's robes. Passing through the library front, and turning to the left, along an avenue of magnificent chesnnts and cedars, we reach the gardens and, conservatories the latter form a long semi-circular range of buildings with a lofty central gluts dome, in which palms, breadfruit trees, and other tropical productions, are growing in all .their native luxuriance. In front is a large circular .fountain, „and the beds of flowers around are tastefully "tMd artistically arranged, although few of their beauties are yet developed. In another part of the grounds are the forcing and hothouses, one compartment of which is entirely devoted to the Victoria Regis lily, 'of which there are a number of fine specimens in dif ferent stages of growth. The water is kept at a high temperature, and by means of machinfry is kept in con- L..a.tant motion, to imitate the currents of the .great South American rivers, in which it was originally discovered. There is also an American garden and many other objects of interest which we must pass over, and return by a winding walk along the orna mental water to the house. The mansion and grounds will, we doubt not, be one of the most fashionable, as we are satisfied it will prove ono of the most attractive, suburban drives during the summer; and wo feel much gratification in recording this characteristic instance of liberality and good feeling cn the part of the noble head of the House of Northumherland, in the hope that it may induce otbers-of our aristoeracy to contribute some thing to the- .ansysement anel enjoyment of the many strangers who will . : 'Visit our shores during the piesent var.

The inhatupionship and the heavy stakes, it is well kriownovere,4obett Coombs's, the renowned champion of ih i e Th ai n e : , e , rind Thomas Mackinney, of Richmond, who aspired to: that ; honorary distinction. To enumerate the various con fli cts in which the former has been succersfully ecsaged would be to fill a whole newspaper. Never did any man so hardly earn the enviable distinction •or champion as he ha* dipaf,,,. lie &lit came into notice as e,seuller in 1835, r iqsrrOlA iNit timer step by step be ascended the moan , tam of celebrity until his final triumph of yesterday. EL E , hike was a competitor for the championship against Charles Campb4l, who had long held it. In the first of these matches, from Westminster to Putney, thirteen / years ago, he was defeated without standing a shadow of chauffiet- kW after a succession of struggles attended with better success he renewed his claim to the title, and after an interval of something like eight years rowed and de feated Charles Campbell with about the same ease as the other bad previously vanquished him. Robert Newell, a capital scalier and burly game fellow, has thrice tried, but in vain, to pluck the laurels from his brow; the re nowned Henry Claspei, the hero and champion of the Tyne, threw down the gauntlet, but was worsted by the champion, who . had been and still is iuvincible. Of,blims kinney much less can be said, 48 he has neither been so 1,,, 1w t abst. nor distinguished himself in the same TOSE ner, as his antagonist. His great debit was in ISA as the winner of Mr. Evan Morris's cost and badge, at, the Thames Regatta. He subs e q ue ntly exhibite d much game and stamina, defeated Tnomas Coombes, and in the . schllers' contest at the Thames boat-races lastiesson Ao bore away the palm from the greatest men of the day --facepting R. Coombes—es to induce his friends to back him for a stake of 2001. _W contend for the chain. pieeship yesterday. The weather was most agreeable and congenial for such sport. A lovely and seasonable change had come o'er toe ecene trem the previous day. The South- Western hallway and steam-hints were literally bee sieged, and at Putney, Hamrneramith, and every part of the shore or river in the course, presented thousands upon thousands of spt cators. The Citizen J, on — baiifd - itirwhich there were many continental visitors, the Cnilde Harold, the Locomotive, and the Fe•ho eteimers, were all crowded with Com piny ; and the Leander (eight), the Westminster Scholars, the Thames. and other celebrated aquatic clubs, with every desctipdon of boat, were put into re quisition; and a more interesting or animated scene, as the hour for the contest approached, it would be difficult to describe. At a quarter to six the rival candidates moved towards Putney-bridge to row a clear right away wager to Mort lake (nearly opposite the Ship). Both looked full of confidence and health; and although Mackinney had the great advantage of being 12 years mud a few months the younger, and nearly three parts of a stone the heavier mu, Coombes was backed freely at 5 aad 6 to 4; and a eery large amount was laid out at that price, the takers being extremely eager. Mr. E. Searle, of the firm of Searle and Sons, having taken his place in the head of the Locomotive, which had been roped off, so that he might be appealed to without hindrance by the partisans on either aide, pre parations were made for the start, the steamers and other boats so arranging themselves as not in any way to impede the course. Coombra took his station on the Middlesex stile of the centre arch of Putney-bridge. his opponent being on the Surrey aide. At twelve and a half minutes past six o'clock a capital start was effected, and Mackinney immediately began to show the stem of his bout slightly in front, and up to op posite Messrs. Searle's premises might be said to have retained precisely the same lead, as though stationary. From this place, amidst deafening shouts from all aid, a, Mackinney forced his pace so as to get his boat completely clear of his adversary; but ho was not long allowed to enjoy " the pride of place." The pace on both sides was killing, and it was obvious that one or the other must soon give way. On nearing Cra ven Cottage the renowned Champion put on a spirt which in a dozen strokes changed the aspect of things, and ilaced his boat's nose a couple of feet in front. Mackinney applied himself again to his work with ei en icert aced power; but he held his slight teed only for a moment, for in the next Coombes again " put on the steam" to such a tune as to show his more youthful ad- Verehl y that he wy.s hail:ell:1 , -. The heat of the t ontest might now have been eonsidered partially abated, but the courage tio.playee by biackinney, and his repeated attempts to regain his lost position, must have been most satisfactory— more so, indeed, than his style, which was embarrassed and far inferior to his opponent's, which, indeed, might fairly be considered as the fine,t develop taint of the art of rowing ever witnessed. All Mackin ney 's efforts, plucky as they certainly were, were una vailing. Coon boa went through Eleminrrsmith-bridge t w o clear lengthy a head, increased it gradually, and won by a dcrz a or mote lengths —thus retaining his title of champion of the Thames and Tyne, besides the valuable consideration of 400/ staktie, Too time occupied by the wiener eas 27 min. 30 secs.

Considering that our foreign trade in woollen cloths has greatly declined within the last few y, ars in consequence of the French and Germans having taken the lead of the English manu facturers in the American and Russian markets, th e result of the competition thus engendered was looked forward to with considerable interest. The contest, it was generally admitted, would rest with the manufac turers_ of the West of England and Yorkshire.

EQUIT MILE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-50u, 0001 . (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Pict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 Moderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each class or tisnual division of Profits. fhe difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion 'remium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so treat. that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been toilful by experience, that the total annual losses of the Sifferent Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an ap,roximatios 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 ,iroached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted sn. 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 Aver .ge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Offfee will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, ftom time to ti—e, 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 one moiety, or flay per cent. of the nett excess will he made to all ( classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

This i s far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1a49, and the 31st of NI ay, 1550, was more than double the number issued In the twelve months preceding.

(From the Report of the Registrar-Generl.) the The rate of mortality that now prevails in metropolitan population is still higher than from the experience of late years might be ex wn p ich dint a the the, beginning of May. The deaths, previous week had risen to 1,075. ave decli but as ned in the week ending last Saturday to 994; the average of ten corresponding weeks is only 883, and, if raised in the suppo,,ed ratio of increase of popu lation, does not exceed 963, it appears that there is still an access in the mortality of the present time, above the corrected average, equal to 31. It will be seen, from a comparison of corresponding weeks of 1841-50, that only is one instance, which occurred in 1848, when small-pox, scarlatina, and typhus abounded, were the deaths more numerous than those registered last week. In the previous week the number of young persons who died under tho age of 15 years was 544, in the last it was 443. fleece it appears that, though this latter number is greater than usual, the health of the juvenile part of the population has improved. But the unseason able coldness of the weather is more perceptible in its effects on the old; for in the same period the mortality of this class has increased, the deaths of persons of 60 yiars and upwards having been in the previous week 216, in the later 222. The_ zymotic or epidemic class of disorders exhibits little difference between last week's results and the eyerege. Fourteen persons, all of whom were children except one, died of smallpox. A death which occurred at the Smallpox Hospital is recorded tbust—On May. a police-constable from Lambeth. aged 22 years, May." s mallpox, confluent, unprotected (20 days)" Mr. Watts, the registrar, adds that " the deceased had been sent up from Hampshire to be in attendance at the Ezell:anon, and with some others of the police was at tacked with the disease and conveyed to the hospital at tipper Holloway." Hooping cough is on the decline, though it numbered last week 57, whilst the corrected average is 45. There were also 5 deaths from croup, and 11 from influenza. In the tubercular class there ar e 8 deaths from scro fula, 8 from tabes mesenteries, 145 from consumption, while hydrocephelus, or water in the head, reaches the unusual number of 50. Cephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, which stands in the class of diseases of the nervous system; was also fatal in 19 cases, which is nearly double the usual number. The 69 deaths from the two last-mentioned complaints, cephalitis and hydro cephalus, occurred, with only three exceptions, among children, and exceed the corrected average by 24. SEABOUNE MAILS.

On Tuesday n court was held upon the subject of the gown of the Ward of Bridge Without, vacant by the death of Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter. The TowN CLERK read the opinion of the law-officers of the Corporation upon the matter of the petition of certain inhabitants of the Borough of Southwark, to be allowed to elect an Alderman to represent them in the Court of Aldermen. The petition had been presented at the last court. The document, wbich was signed by the Recorder, the Common Sergeant,:the judges of the Sheriffs Court, and the solicitor, stated that, having duly considered the petition presented to the court, the law .officers, in pur suance of the resolution then passed, were of opinion that the court ought not in respect of the election of an alder man for the Ward of Bridge Without, to depart from the practice which has prevailed in revect of such elec tions under the acts of Common Council, passed in the years 1711 and 1725. After a few observations from some of the members, the court was cleared, and in the absence of stranger the court, we understand, unanimously resolved .to act upon the opinion delivered by the law officers; and the Lord Mayor accordingly put the question to Sir John Key, the next alderman in rotation to Alderman Thomp son, who had declined the office in compliance with the earnest request of the constituency of the ward of Cheep, of which he has been for a number of years the highly. respected representative, whether he was willing to re ceive, to accept, and to take the office of alderman of the Ward of Bri6,e . Withott? Sir JOHN KEY said—l have given the subject my most serious consideration, and since the last Court assembled I have consulted several friends, on whose judgment I place far more reliance than I place upon my own. I have also listened with great attention to the wishes and opinions of my friend, Mr. Alderman Thompson, and my other brethren of the Court, who all seem to concur in opinion, that the question is one in which are involved, not so much my own private opinion as the rights and privileges of this ancient corporation, and having always through life, in all positions in which I have been placed, taken an active part in the support of those rights and privileges, I have come to the determination of accepting the honourable position of Alderman of Bridge Without. With regard to the opinion which seems to be so prevalent that the situation is a sinecure, if there were any ground for entertaining such an opinion, I certainly would have felt considerable hesitation in accepting it, but as it is one in which I shall be called upon to perform with equal activity as upon former occasions my magisterial and corporate duties, I feel no hesitation at all in con curring with what appears to me to be the general sea= timent of my brethren of the Court. The necessary forms were then gone through, and Sir John Key became alderman of the Ward ot Bridge Without. The Lord Mayor was then requested to issue his pre cept for the election of an alderman of the Ward oc Langbourn, vacant by the acceptance of the gown of the Ward of Bridge Without by Sir Jobn Key, Bart. The duties of the alderman of the ward of Bridge Without are precisely similar to those performed by the aldermen of the other wards, with the exception of the holding of wardmotes—it duty which occupies but a very insignificant portion of the time of the members. TOTE OF CONDOLENCE TO LADY BUNTER. Upon the motion of Alderman TuostrsoN, seconded by Sir PETER LAURIE, the Town Clerk was directed to draw up and present to Lady Hunter a resolution ot o r u e r , t pe d c id t tnootthseepmareamteorwyiothfosuitrpcay.insg. Hauhnti condolence upon the lamented death of her husband. tri T bu h t e e o C f g er h , and Alderman Kelly, in particular, expressed feelings of deep regret at the event, which had deprived the Court of a gentleman whose kindness and experience had ren dered such service to all the junior members in the per 'ormauce of their important duties. The Court then adjourned. ROYAL HUMANE' SOCIETY. The seventy•seventh annual festival of this society was held yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen -street. It bad been anticipated that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge would have presided on this occasion, but a letter from his Royal Highness was read to the assembly, stating that he had been sud denly required to proceed to Ireland, and that it would be impossible for him to be present. In his absence Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, M.P., took the chair, and alter the usual loyal toasts, hop roposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal Humane Society." The society, he said, had already existed for upards of seventy years, and it was now nearly a century since public attention bad been called in this country to the propriety of providing relief and assistance to those whose lives should be endangered by the casualties of land or sea. It was a singular circumstance and one of peculiar interest to the society, that, on this occasion, they had present not only the son of the founder of the society (Dr. Hawes), but three of his grandchildren.—(Elear, hear.) They must attach a pe culiar honour to this fact, for the name of that family was as much interwoven with the history of the country as with the history of this institution.—(Hear, hear.) He was sure that he could propose prosperity to no institution which was more conducive to the cultiva tion of the better feelings of mankind than that which he would now propose, namely, the Royal Humane Society.—(Loud applause.) At this stage of the proceedings, a procession wac formed of snch persons as had been saved through the instrumenta lity of the Royal Humane Society, who bore banners and flags, adorned with mottoes and inscriptions, expres sive of their gratitude to the society for the inestimable benefit which they bad derived from the generous and suc cessful efforts of the Royal Humane Society to preserve their lives. Lord Powis proposed the health of the Chairman, which was drunk with great enthusiasm. The health of the treasurer, Mr. Hawes, having been proposed, he returned thanks, and informed the society that he had been so tar blessed as to have been enabled to attend the anniversary of the society for sixty succes• sive years.—(Loud applause.) He hoped that this would not be the last time on which he would have occasion to address the friends of the Royal Humane Society.— (Hear, hear.) Eleven honorary Biker medallions were presented tor cases of rescue, attended by erraordinary c airage and risk of life, and thirty-five honor ,try bronze medals were awarded. The thanks of the society were presented to twenty-one individuals, and 121 claimants received pecuniary rewards. Mr. Sanders, M.P., ad dressed a few words to the assembly; and the cheirmsn proposed the health of the treasurer (Mr. Hawes) and the committee of management, which sees drunk with much enthusiasm. Shortly afterwards the meeting die ersed. ST. ANN'S SOCIETY. This institution held its anniversary dinner at the London Tavern yesterday evening. The attendance of the friends and supporters of the society was unusually numerous; the Hon. Edward H. Stanley, M,P., presided. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, the children, who are clothed, maintained, and educated by the so ciety, walked round the room, and presented, in their healthy and intelligent countenances, evidence of the excellence of the charity more convincing than anything its most eloquent advocate could adduce. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " Prosperity to the In stitution," stated that the school of this corporation was made the asylum of children whose parents had seen bet ter days, and observed that its advantages were not con fined to any particular class or locality, but that it em braced persons of every nation. Since the establishment of the society upwards of 1.000 boys and 600 girls had been placed out or apprenticed, and there were now nearly 300 children under the care of the society. A few years since, the society was in debt 2,0001 . t o Messrs. Glyn and Co., and 300/. to the treasurers, Messrs. Attwood, both of which debts, with interest, bad been wholly paid; new schoolrooms had been built, and ex tensive repairs had been made at the Royal A s y lum, at an expense of more than 1,2001, the whole of which had been raised and paid. The number of children in the Royal Asylum had been nearly doubled; children bad been admitted at the ago of seven instead of eight years; their comforts had been muoh increased and their edu cation exceedingly improved. Capacious galleries in Streatham new church had been purchased in perpetuity fer 3151., which was also paid. The society had been incorporated by Act of Parliament; and, during the same period, the society had funded upwards of 12,0001. At the same time, the object of the institution was not to accumulate wealth. Observing the strictest prudence and economy, they still depended upon the goodwill of the publio, and he hoped that he was justified in antici pating the cordial support of that public in a cause so wholly and entirely philanthropio.—(Cheers.) The appeal of the Hon. Chairman ,was /ery readily responded to, for, before the close of the evening, the amount of contributioios to the funds of the society was upwards of 1,5001. SUrREANNIJATION ALLOWANCES. The annual amount of corapensation allovrance remaining payable on the Ist of January, 1850, was 254 , 8251. 9s. 10d. During the year fresh allowances were made to the amount of 15,3501., while those which were discontinued p untedamune to t 1 07 , 2 9 39 92 ,1 . 1 , 7 1 6 e 1 a . v the Theam ount p ayab l e superannuationfr compensation allowancesa t the beginning of the same year amounted to 491,4561., and at the end they were 496,294/. 17s.

THE FIRST PBRSON WHO " CUT MS STICK."— This illustrious individual has so long slept with his fathers that the present generation are in utter ignorance of his ever having existed; and even now, when after patient investiga tion we have discovered the class to which he belonged, we I fail in 80 far as individuality is concerned; but we can state for certain that, in common with the great philosopher who drew electricity from the clouds, our hero was a printer. Any one whop as been in the inside of a printing-office knows that every ngle letter of which the congregated mass of words, daily and almost hourly presented to the public, con sists, is separately, by the manual labour of the compositor (printer) inserted into his composing stick. This is his con stant companion from morning till night, and at leaving off time, when one cuts the desk, and another cuts the shop— the tailor cuts his goose, and the cobbler cuts his wax when all the working population cut this thing and that the printir ! ads his stick t...

This suburban mansion of his Graco the Duke of Northumberland was on Tuesday thrown cpea,,ly the liberality of the Noble proprietor to the publit; who were afforded an opportunity of viewing the state apartments and promenading through the conservatories and spacious pleasure-grounds, a privilege which we un derstand will be continued while the Groat Exhibition remains open. Sion Reuse, as must be well known to all above bridge excursioniste, stands on the north bank of the Thames a little beyond Brenttord. The grounds are extensive and beautifully laid out, and the mansion is so placed that owing to the windings of the river it may be said to have two river fronts, the south and the library wings. Exteriorly it exhibits little of architectural decoration or embellishment, forming a massive-looking solid square of yellow stone with a bat tlemented top. Like Northumberland House, Charing cross, the Duke's town residence, and Buckingham Palace, the square is hollow, which enebles all the rooms to be thoroughly lighted and ventilated The interior court is filled with fruit trees, fl wets, and flawer ing shrubs, and is termed "the Nuns' Garden," Sion House being the site of an ancient religious order mice eetablished here. It was one of the last convents sup pressed, and obtained some celebrity from the circum stance of the remains of Henry VIII. being deposited here for a night, when the luntral cot - lige was en i:s way to Windsor. S:aading ab ,ut halt a mile from the main road between Brentford and Hounslow, its exact po,ition is little known to the cesuel traveller on the high road, althoueh for a long period the inba bitants of Brentford and Isleworth have, by the permission of the Duke, " a right ot way" across the grounds in front of the principal entrance. Proceeding through the main avenue, and crossing a rustic bridge thrown ever a sheet of water in the park, a circular gravel walk conducts to the main entrance under a lofty portico. The entranoe-hall is of fine proportions, the flooring of black and white-chequered marble, and it is en riched by several statues from the antique, among which the dying gladiator, in bronze, may be referred to as a be eutiful work of art. To the right of this is an apartment termed the vestibule, supported on pillars of verd and antique marble, bromeht by the pre sent Duke's grandfather from Italy, and said to have been taken out of the Tiber. The flooring is of nsossie, and is an exquisite specimen of inlaying, and is highly polished. Tne ceiling is divided into carved sad deco rated compar ments. Next to this is the state dining room, painted in French white and gold, the niches d t along the sides of the room ar e filled with statues, w.e tables and consoles are inlaid with mosaic. At the far ther end are two marble busts of Leopold Saxe Coburg (the present King of the Belgians), and the Princess Charlette, by Turnerilli. The state drawing-room, which.. stands next, is a light and elegant apartment of large dimensions, hung with crimson damask embroidered in silver, with the chairs, couches, ottomans, Scc., en suite; the ceiling is painted on medallions by Angelica Kauffman with highly-enriched and gilded borders. Oue of the most interesting and beautiful ornaments of this apartment is a cystal vase on a carved gold pedestal. It was presented to the Duke of Northum berland when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, by the ladies of that country, as a token, which the pedestal indi cates, of " Ireland's gratitude." The vase was designed by Lady Caroline Stanhope, and presented to his Grace by the Duchess of Leinster. The base of the pedestal is a stag's bead in Irish oak. There are also ornaments in Kilkenny coal, and various other productions of tie country. Surmounting it is a female figure representing Erin, with the national harp in dead silver, and above all a phoenix holding a large pearl in its beak. The gold, silver, emeralds, diamonds, the pearl, and all the component parts of this unique and classical ornament are said to be Irish produc tions. The slabs of the side tables are mosaics taken from the ancient Roman baths. The colonnade, a noble apartment, running the entire length of the building and looking out upon the river, is sometimes called the library. It is painted in light blue and gold, and over the windows are medallions of the eleven Dukes of Northumberland, other conapartments on the opposite side being filled with paintings by Angelica Ksuffa3an, the colours of which are as fresh and bril liant as the day they were laid on. At the further end is an ottoman formed of a singular trophy found at the palace of Lahore, and sent to this coun try by Lord Hardiuge. It is somewhat like a state bed, piled with cushions, the pillars being of solid silver curiously carved, and is said ~to . have belonged to Ackbar, ono of the meet tinguished Indian princes of the sixteenth century; -1 ' 1 " turrets that terminate this wing are formed into little d taffeta, boudoirs, one of them being hung with i n and f i ow „ ra , covered with paintings of birds, the work of the Dowager Duchess offruNto'rthumberlaud.

DEATH OF A NEGRO lIT STRANGULATION. —An inquest was held on Thursday, by T. C. Maynard, Esq., Mr. the body of William Macd onald, miner, aged 'iti years. n Matthias Dunn, the Government Inspector for Mines, was present during the examination. From the evidence, it appeared that on Monday morning the deceased descended the shaft of B pit, Monkwearmouth colliery, and, along with about sixty other men, mounted on a train of waggons, to descend an incline of 1,400 yards, to the inner part of the workings. They were proceeding down the incline, when the rope suddenly broke, owing to the jerking of the en gine on its fir.t starting into motion, and the waggons ran amain, but were fortunately stopped by an inge nious apparatus termed a " bull, ' which is attached to the train. On examination the deceased was found to have been strangled between two of the waggons. A verdict of accidental death was returned by the jury. The deceased was formerly a slave in the West Indies, but about forty years ago, having met with some English sailors at Jamaica, he learned that England was a land of freedom, and resolved to escape from slavery. He accordingly con cealed himself on board a vessel bound for London. For three days be remained below, till he was nearly starved to death ; forced by hunger he at last made his appearance on deck, to the great astonishment of the sailors, who gave him food and treated him with kindness. As soon as the vessel arrived at London his love of liberty was so intense that he instantly leaped on shore, though imperfectly clothed, with out either money or friends, and with an imperfect know ledge of the English language. After many vicissitudes he found his way to Sunderland, and has worked in the neigh bouring collieries for a number of years as a coal hewer. He .as an industrious man, a member of the Church of 1 England, and much respected by his neighbours.—Sunder. land Herald. GROCEits' AND TEADEALERS ' BENEVOLENT PRO TECTION SOCIETY.—The fourteenth anniversary of this insti tution was celebrated at the London Tavern on Monday evening, when about 150 gentlemen sat down to an excel lent dinner, presided over by Mr. John Davis, a highly esteemed member of the sugar-refining trade.
