On the first day. the grand champion race for 100/., open to ail four-oared boats (a new feature in this regatta), for the year 1351 only, will afford to connoisseurs a treat not to "be surpassed, as the list of crews contains the names of the first professional oarsmen in the world. On the second day, from the circumstance of the two universities being rivals for the possession of the Grand Challenge Cup, and the other eight-oared, four-oared, and scullers' lists, comprising all the first amateurs of the clay, a - most brilliant meeting may be relied on. The stewards and committee are using every ex ertion for the accommodation of visitors, and, in addition to the grand stand, a space of ground commanding an unin terrupted view of the course will be railed iu to a stand for carriers! 141 :11! e t lOTA etz,F LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 16, 1851. Cui Bono ? has long been the inquiry of those who have evinced a perverse solicitude to depreciate the value of the Great Industrial Exhibition. Answers innumerable might undoubtedly be given without tarrying for a single instant's premeditation. It might be argued, among other things, that the pro motion of the cause of international amity would of itself be sufficient to compensate for all the labour and expenditure required in carrying out the project to its complete development. It might be insisted that the administration of a very appreciable stimulus to the enterprise of Christendom would be ample recompense for the toils and anxieties devolving upon the Royal Commissioners. It might be maintained, moreover, that the comparison of the progress made by different branches of the human family in all the various departments of art and of industry could not but conduce to the furtherance of the dearest and divinest interests of civilization. Added to all which a multitude of new contrivances could not but be suggested by the scrutiny of the mechanism employed for divers purposes by the in- 1 genious members of the races of the five continents,. by the inhabitants of North and of South America, by Asiatics, Africans, and Europeans. Reference might likewise be made undoubtedly to the variety of advantages accruing to the capital selected to be the arena of the world's exposition; but with all regard for the benefits bestowed by this circumstance upon the citi zens of London and Westminster, we cannot but look upon any such division of the subject as one of too subor dinate a character to be preserved very long in con sideration. Nevertheless, some allusion becomes ab- i solutely requisite even to this section of the inquiry, under the circumstances, seeing that the royal ori ginator of the enterprise has been most shamefully and shamelessly vilified for bringing down upon the metropolis of England what his traducers have been pleased to designate pecuniary injuries, but which, in truth, have hitherto proved to be the most inestimable and remunerative benefits. It has been asserted, for ex ample, that London has in no way profited by the scheme of the Exhibition ; and this calumny has been indulged in, notwithstanding the enormous sums of money already squandered, through its in strumentality, among all classes of the metropolitan population. Because some frivolous dreamers were pleased to indulge themselves in the most fantastic and extravagant anticipations, and because those an ticipations have not been quite realized in every particular, we cannot think it is exactly fair or just to pronounce the whole undertaking a failure. To say nothing whatever of the employment given to many thousands during several months prior to the morn ing of inauguration, in the construction of the Crystal Palace according to the design sketched out by Mr. PAXTON, and realized by the energy of the contrac tors, Messrs. Fox and llEsinsasoN, a very great deal of activity has been found necessary on the part of a large proportion of the community in preparations altogether apart from those made at the instance of the Royal Commissioners. Several of the trades in the metropolis, that of the painters for instance, have never upon any former occasion been afforded any similar opportunity for protracted and uninterrupted employment. Subordinate exhibitions have in addi tion to this been opened in almost every quarter of the capital, and most, if not all of these, have hereto fore turned out most prosperously for their proprie tors. Even the places of public recreation, the operas, the theatres, and the gardens, after ex periencing the temporary neglect consequent upon the superior attractions of the Crystal Palace, have begun already to reap a golden harvest from those who have been fascinated to London from all parts of the world by that novelty in llyde-park which has been so long vilified by the very individuals it is tending to benfit materially. Perhaps next we shall have complaints made against the Industrial Exhibition by the directors and shareholders of the different railways, in spite of the emolument derived by them from the influx of foreign visitors and provincial excursionists. It were absolutely about as reasonable. Consider able, nevertheless, as are the advantages accruing to the metropolis from the sublime project of his Royal Highness the PRINCE CONSORT, they are literally as nothing, when contrasted with the benefits conferred by it upon the world at large—benefits moral and physical, social and intellectual—benefits tending, both directly and indirectly, to advance the cause of religion as well as of civilization. Shortly after the first suggestion of the enterprise, certainly a considerable while before the Crystal Palace had been completed, and consequently long before the memorable day of its inauguration, we took oc casion to refer to a very noble tribute offered to the undertaking by the Rev. J. A. EMERTON, of Han well College, Middlesex--a prize of a hundred guineas being extended by him to the writer of a prize essay on the Great Exhibition. Dr. EMER TON'S magnificent conduct has at length produced its fruit in a luminous paper by the Rev. J. C. Walsti, of East Peckham, Kent, the prize having been formally awarded to him by the ad judicators at Oxford, the Reverend RoneaT Waexee, the Reader of Experimental Philo sophy, and the Rev. RICHARD MICHELL, the Public Orator in that University. To this singularly interesting publication,* therefore, we would most earnestly commend all captious depreciators of the Exhibition, satisfied that if perused by them with even a moderate share of impartiality it must necessa rily dissipate most of their very erroneous objections to the enterprise. In his arguments the essayist has revealed an earnestness and intelligence deserving of our warmest admiration. * " The Great Exhibition Prize Essay." By ti7,7E tev. J. C. Whish, M.A. Donor, Rev. J. A. Emerton, D.D., Bvo., pp. 87. London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1851. It has often been asserted that there is " one law for the rich and another for the poor," that wealthy persons could escape with comparative impunity from the penal consequences of acts that would be visited with stringent severity if committed by their less fortunate and less wealthy neighbours. This exemp tion, however, arises more frequently from the means at the disposal of the fortunate few, enabling them to make compensation to the injured parties out of court, and thus to buy off prosecutions, or, if matters were driven to extremities, to obtain the best possible professional assistance, and to present their respective cases in the most favourable aspects, than to any defi ciency in the law itself, or negligence, or undue to t enritis mon th e p ar t o f i ts administrators. It used be the proud boast of Englishmen that their law highest k new no dis t tinc tion of persons, that all, from the the like obligations This was indeei peer t o t he humblest peasant, were subject to affairs, and no inoi , e , afforded of the excelle and the perfect freedom enj oyed The law :s al and ha entitled to similar protection.' was alike to allP,p a y a a d n u d oi: a e n c enviable state of Powerful illustration could be of the British Constitution by the British people. could be compelled to do anything save in obedience to the dictates of that the Court of law. We can, however, no long er indulge in such vaunts pronounced on r°idfay, i n of f uee the oase of Queen's felicitations. ,s B en eh "ABLEY V. DALE," must completely dispel the pleas ing illusion. We do not venture to imp each the de cision of the learned and distinguished j udges who preside in that court with so much credit to th em .. selves and advantage to t he community. If ev en a different construction could be placed on the st a t u t e we should f ee l th e utmost dou bt and diffidence i n contesting any point that had been determined with ' the u nan i mous assent of L or d CAMPBELL and his le arned colleagues. But we fear tha t the conclusion arrived at b y t h ese em i nent men was ba t too well founded, and that no other interpretation of the law could have been consistent with the faithful and con scientious discharge of their onerous and important duties. The'fault, then, such as it is, must be ascribed to the Legislature, and not to the judicial authorities, and the unquestionable grievance inflicted on the less wealthy classes must be redressed by Parilacant and The facts of the case were very simple. The de fendant having obtained a County Court judgment against the plaintiff, took out a summons to enforce it against his person. On the hearing the plaintiff re lied on his discharge by the Court for the relief of in solvent debtors under the several statutes in such cases made and provided, and that the said judgment debt had been duly inserted in his schedule, and full notice given to the creditor of his intended application The judge of the County Court, however, overruled the defence ; an order was accordingly made, and a warrant issued, under which the plaintiff was arrested and imprisoned, and for that injury he brought his action for false imprisonment against the former plaintiff. On the trial a verdict was returned in his favour, leave being reserved to move to enter a non suit, or for a new trial. The matter was subsequently argued on both sides, the real question being as to the effect of a discharge by the Insolvent Court from County Court judgments. Judgment was delivered on Friday, as we have already stated, the practical effect of which is that a discretion is vested in the County Court judge, who has jurisdiction to commit in such cases, notwithstanding a discharge by the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, which, so far as judg ments of these recently constituted tribunals are concerned, becomes of no practical utility. It cer tainly seems strange that the Commissioners of these latter courts should have authority to grant protec tion to parties who surrendered all their property to be administered for the general benefit of their cre ditors against the judgments, decrees, and orders, of the superior courts •f law and equity, and not against those of inferior tribunals. The creditor can oome in to make his complaint in one case as well as in the other, and if he can show any misconduct on the part of the debtor, or establish a well-founded complaint, the petitioner will be punished either by a prolonged remand, or by the dismissal •f his peti tion. Having thus satiated hie vengeance, the County Court creditor could, however, take further proceedings, and bring the unfortunate debtor again and again before the County Court judge, obtaining repeated orders for his incarceration, unless be did that which would be considered a fraudulent prefe rence if committed before his insolvency, justly sub jecting him to a prolonged imprisonment. As Lord CAMPBELL justly remarked, "It certainly did seem to be manifestly unjust to commit, for the non payment of a particular creditor, a man whose whole property had been given up for the satisfaction of the debts of the whole of his creditors, and that a county court should have the power to commit a man for not paying such debt, who has been adjudged by the In solvent Court to be discharged from that debt." The Noble and Learned Lord added, " that ab surdity was not diminished by the transfer of the business of the Insolvency Commissioners to the judges of the County Courts." He was, however, coerced by the plain and unambiguous words of the statute, and reluctantly compelled to decide against the equities of the case. We trust that this anomalous state of affairs, con• trary to the intention of the Legislature and the spirit of the law, Rill be speedily changed. None can con tend that a poor man, all whose liabilities must ne cessarily be within the jurisdiction of the county courts, should be subjected to the unceasing persecu tion of vindictive creditors after he has denuded him self of all his possessions, and started afresh on the " battle of life" without means or resources save his own exertions, while the man whose position enabled him to obtain more extensive credit, and whose debts were a hundredfold those of his less fortunate neigh bour, should be exempted from all annoyance. It certainly does establish the fact that there now is " one law for the rich and another for the poor"-- a reproach which it is the duty of the Legislature to remove from the nation without any unnecessary delay. It may be asserted, that as the point is left to the discretion of the judge, no great mischief can arise; but, although we believe that discretion would be wisely and judiciously exercised in the great ma jority, there may, and have been instances to the con trary, and great hardships may be inflicted if even the present session be suffered to elapse without an adequate remedy being provided fur the unquestion able grievance. THE GREAT CHESS TOURNAMENT. Since our last notice of these interesting matches, the second series of games has terminated by Mr. Staunton's placing Herr Horwitz hors de combat, the result of their play being that Mr. Staunton won four games, Herr Horwitz two, and one finely contested game was drawn. The four hitherto successful players have again drawn lots for their antagonists, and Mr. Staunton has now to contend against Herr Anderssen, a dis tinguished player of Berlin. The interest of the play in creases as the tournament draws nearer to its conclusion. Mr. Staunton has to defend, against no ignoble rival, his well-earned reputation ; while the play between M Wvill and Mr. Willi ams will be watched with the m ore r. inte y rest from their previous success against good players. Mr. Wil liams has already commenced the third aeries by winning one game of Mr. Wyvill. Messrs. Andersaen and Staunton are to commence their contest to-day. [The signal triumph achieved by Mr. Staunton over his distinguished antagonist, Herr Norwitz, will be scarcely matter of surprise to those who are in any way acquainted with the peculiar genius and remarkable powers of the conqueror. As a master of the game he has never perhaps before revealed such varied resources, such vigilant caution, or such scien tific adroitness, not even in his celebrated contest with M. St. Arrant, a contest which, like the recent one with Herr Horwitz, left him still the glory of being unvanquished. Those already familiar with his "play" need not be reminded that he never indulges in the temerity of the " gambits," adhering throughout to that close game, which of all styles and systems on the board is the most deadly and overwhelming. It is in this manner that he closes in the whole power of his forces upon those of his antagonist, striking whenever he does strike with - a vigour altogether irresistible, and slowly grapp;ing his opponent with the energy of an of Cal cu l a ti ons . I nasmuch as his r Athlete has displayed th ese s i ngu l ar capacities ecent struggle more than in their usual vivid nesss, we have certainly not had to record a more b r illi ant tr i umph since the days of Delabour donnais. The result, however, has confirmed rather than enhanced the reputation of the conqueror, Howard Staunton having been long, recognised as the most illustrious of living chess players. It cannot but be matter of congratulation, nevertheless, to his fellow -countrymen to fi nd him, in addi tion to all his former successes, passing more than satisfac torily through the present ordeal as Champion of the Great Chess Tournament.—ED. .OBATII OF DANIEL GRANT, Et3Q.--MF. Daniel Grant, of th e we ll-k nown firm of Grant, Brothers, Mancheis ter, expired on Th urs d ay, at his residence at Ramsbottom, near Bury, h av i ng survived his elder brother William only five years. There were originally four brothers, who left the Highlands of Scotland with their father to try their for tunes in the manufacturing districts. William, the elder brother, was apprenticed to a calico printer and dyer, near Bury, and afterwards took the business of the Peels, at Ramsbottom, subsequently receiving his brothers into part nership. Everything they engaged in went exceedingly prosperous with them, and they were enabled in a few years to purchase the works they at first only rented. Their belie; volence was known throughout the manufacturing districts, as well as their great wealth, and it was an oft-quoted re mark of the elder brother's, " that the more money they, gave away the more they made." Those who have visited' Rarambottom, situated in a beautiful part of the vale of the' Irwell, a few miles only from the birthplace of the late Sir Robert Peel, will have noticed a tower oa the bleak summit of the hills which form the northern side of this valley. It is said to mark the spot where the elder brother and his, father sat down to rest on their first arrival in the neigh bourhood from the Highlands, more than half a century ago, with a drove of cattle, and the old man, who, struck with the beauty and luxuriance of the vale beneath, ex claimed, " Oh, Willie, here's a heaven on earth l " lived to see the broad fertile lands he had admired so much the pro perty of his son (then only fourteen years old), and to live with him in a handsome mansion erected upon it. The only surviving son is Mr. John Grant, of Broadbottom, near Mottram.—[lt may be interesting to remind the public that Daniel Grant, of Manchester, was the original of one of those BrothersCheeryble whose benevolence has been so beautifully celebrated by Charles Dickens in his "Nicholas Nickleby. Es. Sun.l INTERIOR OP THE EXHIBITION.-4/11 ingenious engraving has just been issued by Mr. Berger, representing the interior of the Crystal Palace, viewed from the middle of the transept, looking down the western nave, and including, of course, among other interesting objects, the crystal fountain. The plate—which has been engraved on steel and is adorned with facsimile autographs of the Queen and the Prince —forms an admirable companion picture to Berger's view of the exterior of the same building. Flsis ARTS. —We have been requested by Messrs. Clarke and Melton to look at Mr. Linnel's large picture of "The Eve of the Deluge," which having served to illustrate the enormous prices given for modern works of art, has found its way into the galleries of those gentlemen in Regent street.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. The discussion on the third reading of the National Guard Bill was resumed on Friday, and in the course of it General BARAG UAT D'HILLIERS, to whose refusal to act under the orders of General CA VAIGNAC in June, 184ö, allusion had been made on Thursday, thus explained the incident. After de claring that he repudiated the doctrine that a soldier bad a right to refuse under certain circumstances to obey the command of his saperior, General BAaAGUAY D'HILLIERS said that as to the particular circumstance alluded to he begged to remind the Assembly that he was at the time a re presentative of the people sitting in opposition to the Government of the day, and as such was folly war ranted in declining to accept an invitation—:or it was an invitation and not an order, from the li on . Ge neral CAVAIGN AC . Previously to that period he had been honoured with the defence of the Assembly, and had it been attacked he would not surely have acted as Colonel CHARRAS had dote on the 15th of May, when, instead of repelling the rioters, he went off to the Luvmhourg to look for instructions. Oa the 2nd of . - une he ten dered his resignation, because he did tot approve of seeing 17 battalions around the Assembly for no use ful purpose. It was at six o'clock, on the evening of the 24th, that the invitation to take the command, vacant by the death of General NEGRIER, had been offered him; but the insurrection was then virtually at an end, and he did not wish to ga into the field after the victory. In conclusion, he would again protest against the monstrous doctrines concerning military obedience which had beet put forth at that tribune. General CAVAIGNAC then spoke as follows :—Since my name has been mixed up in this discussion, I de sire to re-establish the facts in their real situation. I was Minister of War on June 23, when the incident occurred to which allusion has jest been made. Then, as now, I fully admitted the distinction which the Honourable General who spoke lasthas made between the military man and the representative. I did not send him any order to take a command ; I saw that as representative he bad a right to refuse or accept, as he thought fit, and I in .:onsequence only gave him an invitation to the effect that the vacant com mand was at his service, ane that I should be well pleased to see him take it. 1 did not do that through a third party, but in person in the cabinet of the President of the Assembly. Had he not been a re presentative of the people, ny course would ha ve b een different, as then I s h ou ld lave sent him an order to act as I desired. I consider that he was fully autbo. rised to refuse, and 1 admit the more readily Me lati tude which he claims for the military man who is a representative, that I can very well picture to myself situations in which I should also refuse to afford my co-operation.—(Hear.) General CHANGARNIER—I can well conceive that the Assembly is not anxims to prolong this afflicting discussion, and I consequently do not intend to occupy it for any length of time. M. CHARRAS yes terday, whilst supporting the strange doctrines which were brought forward, mentioned my name. I wish to disengage that name from everything that can in the remotest degree seem to connect it with such doctrines, and my task is facilitated by the na ture of the opinions set forth. Some short time back, in this tribune, I said that nothing could force the army to march against the National Assembly, and the Hon. Gentleman who spoke of me appears to have drawn from that assertion the conclusion that the army would refuse to march when ordered-- that it would, in fact, consult on the orders given. Well, then, I affirm that such a doctrine is nothing else than ridiculous.—(Loud cheers.) With ,such doctrines all discipline would he at an end, and I say further that every act of my life is opposed to such ideas; that not a word of mine, spoken or written, ever in the remotest degree sanctioned such detestable doctrines.—(Loud cheers.) The interpretation, there fore, which M. CHARRAS has given to some words which fell from me is absolutely erroneous, and I stand here to protest against it.—(Renewed cheers on the Right; great agitation on the Left, accompanied with exclamations.) On the demand of General LAMORICIERE the inci dent was declared closed, the debate on the Bill was resumed, and that Bill was read a third time by a large majority. We find the following in the Journal des Debats : —"lt is affirmed that General Annex, who had been intended as Ambassador to London, has just been appointed to Madrid. He will be replaced in the post at London by Count COLONNI WALEWSKI, lately appointed Ambassador to Madrid, and who was previously French Minister at the Court of Naples. The National publishes a protest signed by M. C. LESSEE'S and several other persons now confined in the prison of Agen, charged with being concerned in the Lyons conspiracy. They complain bitterly of the treatment they have undergone in being dragged from prison to prison for eight months, while scarcely the shadow of a charge, they affirm, can be brought against them, except that they are republicans. They ask for immediate trial, which they assert will fully establish their innocence. M. Dumas late Minister of C o m merce, h as just left Paris for 'London. The Committee of Revision sat on Saturday, and in the course of the discussion M. BeauvEß declared that his main object in desiring a total revision was to prevent the re-election of Louis NAPOLEON. M. DR TOCQUEYILLE thought the country ought to be allowed the full exercise of its judgment by an un qualified election of a President by universal suffrage. General CAVAIGNAC declared that he would bear of no revision until the stability of the Republic was put beyond question. Let the partizans of monarchy renounce their projects, and rally to the Republic, and he would then consent to a revision of the Con stitution, which be acknowledged to be defective. M : FORCA DE rep li es i n the Massager to M. CAR LIER 5 letter, accusing him of abuse of confidence in publishing the notes which were intrusted to him in confidence for the purpose of drawing up a report. M. FORCADH says that he has never seen M. CAR , LIEN but twice in his life; once, after several invita tions sent him at the Prefecture of Police, in com pany with MM . SOLAR and AUDERTIN, friends of his connected with the press ; and the second time, after AI. FORCADE had left. the Patric, also at the Prefecture, when the Prefect requested him to draw up the report on the notes lately made public. Al. FORCADE did not draw it up because he perceived, he says, a marked change in the Prefect's policy, as proved by his conduct rela tive to the reviews of Satory, the tolerance of the Society of the Dix Deicembre, and the part taken by that functionary in the affair of ALLAIS against the Assembly. He kept the papers by him for eight months without ever making them known, but " I esteemed myself fortunate," says M. FORCADE, " in possessing under your hand a powerful proof of the practices and dangers of Bonapartism." He only at length made the documents public when charged with having thrown on the Government a suspicion which he knew to be false. " You ask me," continues M. FOECADE, " by what right I made use of your manu script? It is, Monsieur, by the right of my con science, enlightened by the revelations which you have afforded me, and by the right of my honour attacked by a policy which you caused me to suspect. If one of us can talk of breach of confidence, I safely put this question to public opinion. Is it not he, who, if the facts put forth in your memoir be false, as you en deavour to show in your letter, would have been not only the victim, but the dupe of the confidence which he had placed in you ? Is it not I?" Although there was not much business transacted at the Bourse on Saturday, prices were remarkably firm.

The Marquis of MIRAFLORES, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, was questioned in the Senate as to the intentions of Spain with regard to intervening in the affairs of Portugal. In reply, the Minister stated that he respected in the highest degree the indepen dence of other nations. He added, that the single exception would be that of Queen ISABELLA'S Go vernment beholding Queen DONNA MARIA'S throne in danger ; but that event had not happened, and at that moment nothing serious need be apprehended. The Duke of SALDAsne had hastened to assure the re presentatives of France, of England, and of Spain that as long as he should be honoured with the con fi deuce of the QUEEN, there was nothing to be feared for the safety of the throne of DONNA MARIA. Up to this period the representatives of the three powers at Lisbon had limited themselves to giving to Marshal SALDANIII and the Portugues Government wise and salutary counsels touching the preservation of the throne. If, however—which GOD forbid—the crown of Queen DONNA MARIA should one day be placed in peril, and the intervention of Spain become necessary, that intervention should not take place without a previous understanding between Spain and the other powers who were parties to the treaty of quadruple alliance.

The Govern ment has presented to the Second Chamber a project of law for abolishing the navigation dues on the river Meuse. In the preamble accompanying the project, the Go vernment states that measures were t a k en to induce the Belgian Government to adopt the same course in regard to that part of the Meuse which runs through the Belgian territory. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Col ogne G azette contains a letter of the Gth inst., from Flensburg, which says :—" After the dis• cessions by the notables of Schleswig of the Govern ment Bill for an arrangement of differences, the Hol stein deputies presented a protest, in which inadvisi bility and independence of the duchies is asserted. A warm discussion ensued. M. Wiese, who had drawn up the protest, in speaking of the future pros pects of Schleswig, said that, if necessary, an applica tion would be made for support to the Germanic Con federation. Then the storm burst ; the Danish and Schleswig Deputies protesting in the moat energetic and solemn manner against the right of the Confede ration to interfere in the affairs of Schleswig. Th e Deputies o f D enmark and Schleswig in then counter declar a ti on to that of Holstein, w made a hich they declare that th e G overnment plan suited them better than any other. Both of these protests were inserted formally in the procis verbal." ITLY. The Gover nment of Piedmont has ordered Count BERTOLA DE Risura, an emissary of the POPE and of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, to be expelled the country, and to be conveyed to the frontier by the police. An English family named A1.130E0E411 has been placed under arrest at Leghorn. The Austrians have entered Spoleto. Il HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Prodigo was repeated on Saturday with an increased effect.

Never have we seen her so great an actress as in this finale. Madame Ugalde was even more brilliant on Saturday than she was on Thursday, and Gardoni has never appeared to such advantage as he does in Azaele. Mas sol's Reuben is sublime; his make up is perfect (his dress, it is said, was designed by Horace Vernet, and he looks like an Emir who bad stepped out of one of Horace Vernet's pictures), and his singing and acting full of dramatic power and heartrending pathos.

This, perhaps the most dazzlingly brilliant opera that has ever been produced, was again received with enthit• siastic applause by a house crowded to the ceiling. TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. Ladies and Gentlemen, NOTWITHSTANDING the accession of strength which I received by the election of Mr. Dent to a seat in the direction of your affairs, my position has been so far affected by the withdrawal of Mr. Majoribanks in favour of Mr. Astell as to make my success on the present vacancy very doubtful —under these circumstances I placed myself in the hands of my friends, and they have decided that I should not oppose Mr. Astell, on the vacancy occasioned by the lamented death of Mr. Tucker. I have the more readily acceded to this recommendation, because my position is such as to give me the most confident assurance of success on the next vacancy, whenever it may occur, and I conse quently feel disinclined to occasion unnecessary trouble to the Pro prietary. I have, therefore, the honour to announce, that it is not my Intention to proceed to the ballot upon the present occasion; but I shall most certainly do so on the next vacancy. I beg to tender my most grateful thanks to my valued friends and supporters for their unwearied exertions on my behalf, and earnestly S the continuance of their support and that of those Proprietors who have not yet favoured me with the promise of their votes, t ‘ a 1 04 4r , kA .,, iitv ? ~i ~:, „.....,c,,,4,,, ~ '..-. ••=tter-----7--A-i„.4 Y 4.

GERMANY. The Paris Journal des Debats says :—" It is posi tively affir me d t h at fresh disturbances have taken place at Hamburgh, and that the Austrians were not able to put it down but by the we of the most ener getic means." A letter from Cologne of the 11th, in the Frank ( furter Journal, says :—" Prince and Princess DE METTERNICH arrived here last evening by the Brussels Railway and immediately set forward for Johannis berg. The reception given to the Prince at the station was anything but flattering, and even some hisses were heard." The Universal German Gazette states that a Bill is to be almost immediately brought forward in the Germanic Diet for the formation of a corps d'armie of not less than 125,000 men on the banks of the Rhine. The principal object of establishing this body of men in the position just mentioned is to ro tect Germany against all eventualities of affairs in France. A letter from Berlin, of the Bth, in the Journal des Dibats, says—" The celebrated group in bronze of M. Kiss, representing an Amazon fighting with a lion, has just been purchased by the Prince of PRUS SIA, who intends it as a present to the Queen of ENG LAND. The model in Zinc of the same work, which figures in the Exhibition in London, has been pur chased by an American for 2,5001. (62,500 f.). M. Kiss has received orders for two other models of the same work in zinc, also for amateurs in the United States." The Spener Gazette contains a letter from Vienna of the Bth, which states that the conferences of the Sovereigns at Olmutz are to be resumed in the month of August next. l The number of telegraphic dis patches sent from that place to Vienna, Prague, Berlin, and Warsaw, during the late conferences, was 1,643.

The royal party entered the theatre and took their seats amid the greatest possible public confusion, for the house was filled to that kind of repletion which finds vent only in anger and turbulence. The functionaries at the entrance gates had a busy and arduous time of it in pacifying, or rather attempting to pacify, those who could neither see, stand, nor bear. The tickets which had been bought at the house were promptly re-purchased, but those issued by the booksellers were pregnant sources of war fare, while the renters who instinctively demand accom modation with all the irritability of proprietorship, were more than ordinarily desperate and pugnacious.
