It is impossible to deny that the effect of free trade is to re !ace the price of everything, to lessen the profits on all kinds of deal w3 and manufacturing, much to the injury of all those who made no Provision for the change, and greatly to the advantage of all those Who anticipated the fall, by adopting the system of buying largely at 4 5 cheapest markets, and contenting themselves with small profits. "ifs. E. MUSES and SONhave conducted their Immense Clothing anda Outfitting Establishments upon this system for some years 441 1 with the public the savings which their immense capital :Ines them to effect in their purchases, and contenting themselves ar :; 1 1 Uniform but exceedingly small profits, by which system the best I,‘elea in every departmentof dress roach the public at a price which a - 7 to firi3' instances scarcely equals the amount a purchaser would „,: 4 Day for the material. The fact is, the pric of cloth, which 7,'„ 'le manufactory is worth 151.. may become 201. e in the wholesale fir ehouse, 25/. In the retail, and be sold at the rata of 351. before it r imes the tailor, NA ho has still to get his living profit. Messrs. E. th s 'ES and SON arrest the price at the maker's, buy even cheaper the first price by taking large quantities, and buying cash, and IPublie have the benefit of their savings. he system adopted by E. MOSES and SON has always been the faue; their goods are marked with the lowest price that can be 30 s n Land this is never varied. Whether a ladies' cloak be 20s. or ' lO one is as well worth the price charged as the other ; the a(Ceman's coat at 50s. Is as cheap at that price as the one is at l„„: and it is not too much to assert the lower priced articles are far r, both in material and workmanship, than can be procured in'atilivisere, or than any one would believe until inspected, while the Vier:Ll :l rked articles for ladies, gentlemen, and children equal the tr i ,i."im that can be had at any cost, of the so-called fashionable Nai — sizen, for Messrs.

Capital-500,000:. (Incorporated under 7 and S Viet., cap. HO.) The les4ing principles of this Office ars—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different 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 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 proached 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 loss 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 tit-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 of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be 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 Prenerty on.moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Claise.

The important advantsees offered by the plan and constitution of the Life Department of this Society are— That Insurers are protected by a large invested capital, upon which there is no interest to pay, and for which no deduction of any kind is made, which enables the Directors to give the whole of the Profits to insuring members. That the Profits are divided annually amongst all members of five years' standing, and applied towards reducing life insurances to the lowest possible rates of premium.

RELIEF OF THE AOMEWARD-BOUXD.—The Admiralty' have ordered her Majesty's screw-shiptllogne, 60, Captaid M'Dougall, to proceed from Cork to theehops of the Channel to supply the homeward-bound merchantmen with provisions and water, detsined from proceeding up Channel by adverse winds. We have great pleasure in announcink that Mr. James W. Armstrong, fluster of 1845, has been re-appointed master attendant of the Royal William victualling yard, Stonehonse, for a further period of four years. Mr. Wells, the son of an old and neglected lieutenant of the navy, has been appointed a master's assistant to the Tra falgar. Such preferment reflects the greatest credit on the Admiralty. Greenock screw steam-ship will sail from Devonport for Woolwich, on Thursday next (this day), in charge of Mr. Brown, second master-attendant, when her capabilities will be further tested. • Retribution, fi . B, steam-frigate; Captain Warden, refitting i at Devonport, will bs ready for sea on the 23d instant, and is ordered to be ready to proceed to Lisbon on the 26th, to rejoin Commodore Martin's squadron. APPOINTMENT. WootArren, APnir. 9.—Lieutenant Arthur Wilmshnrst (1845) to the Excellent gunnery-ship at Portsmouth. In the list of names of the officers at the levees held at the Admiralty yesterday. for Vice-Admiral Thomas Browne, read Vice-Admiral Thomas Brown. The Rattler steam-vessel, Commander Arthur Cumming, is ordered to be paid off hero on Tuesday next. The Birkenhead steam-troop-ship, Master-Commander Robert Salmond,' embarked the four companies of Royal Ar-' tillery for Halifax and Canada this morning, and it is satis factory to know that the whole of the wives and children of about 400 non-commissioned officers and men have been permitted to go on board and accompany their husbands to their destinations, on condition that they pay for their own rations, which will be supplied to them at the rate of about 3d. each per day. HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrisr-Generfti.). The last week has witnessed a great improvement -in the public health. The deaths in the metropolitan districts, which had ranged above 1,400 in the last three weeks of March, fell in the week ending last Saturday to 1.059. But this is still a high rate of mortality, not only as compared with what prevails in country districts, under conditions more favourable to health, but also with that which the population of London usually suffer at this period of the year. In none of the ten corresponding weeks of 1841-50, w,th the exception of that of 1850, did the number of deaths exceed 1,028, while the average of these weeks was 946, which, if a correction be made for increase of popu lation will become 1,03 Compared with the latter e3ti mated result, fhe deaths registered last week show an in crease of twenty. seven. A decrease in the mortality from complaints which have lately been prevalent is now perceptible. The zymotic or epidemic class of diseases, which comprises hooping-cough and influenza, with nineteen other forms of malady, has de clined from 245 deaths, which it numbered in the previous week, to 180 in the last ; the class of diseases of the respi ratory organs, from 272 in the preceding week to 220 in the present return. The tubercular class, which includes scro f. la, tabes mesenteries, phthisis or consumption, and hydroce phalus, has remained nearly the same in the two weeks; while complaints of the digestive organs show precisely the same amount. Last week 95 persona died of bronchitis, 81 of pneumonia, 24 of asthma, only the first of these diseases showing more than the usual fatality; 59 children died of hooping-cough, which is more than the average of corresponding weeks. The cases in which the fatal cause is specified as influenza have now sensibly decreased ; the number in this return is 23. . . The progress and decline of influenza during the last six weeks may be traced in the deaths registered, which tere successively 8, 15, 38, 65, 37, and 23. The fatal effects of "diseases of the respiratory organs" (phthisis not being in cluded in this category) may also be traced during the same period in the following weekly numbers :-281, 321, 352, 350, 272, and 220. Small-pox has further declined, and last week the deaths of only 7 children and two adults are ascribed to it; measles also exhibits a more favourable result; and only 6 fatal cases of scarlatina are recorded. STATE OF THE WEATHER DURING THE PAST WEEK' SUNDAY.—The amount of cloud was very variable throughout the day; there were frequent showers of bail and rain. MONDAY.—The sky was overcast till 7h. P.m., and the amount of cloud was variable afterwards ; cirrostratus. TUESDAY.—The sky was for the most part covered with cloud till near noon ; then till the evening about one-third part was covered, and it was overcast at night. WEDNESDAY. —The sky 'was overcast throughout the day. Rain fell occasionally. THURSDAY.—The sky was overcast till 4h. P.M., and three-fourths were mostly covered afterwards. FRIDAY.—The sky, with slight exceptions, was covered with cumuli, cumulostrati, cirrostrati, and scud throughout the day. SATURDAY.—The sky was mostly covered with cloud throughout the day ; at times large portions of the sky were free from cloud. A cold day. ELECTRICITY.—ApriI 1d.3h.--positive, and tendon strong. April 2d—positive, and tension strong throughout the day. The mean reading of a thermometer placed on the main mast, and read each day at 9h. A.M , was 47.7°; and the mean reading at 911. P.M. was 41.3° ; the mean readings at the Royal Observatory for the same times were 41.8 Q, and 42.3° respectively. The direction of the wind varied from S.W. and W. to N. during the first four days, and was chiefly N.E. during the three remaining eays. The reading of the barometer increased from 29.41 in. at the beginning of the week to 30.03 in. by noon on April Ist ; decreased to 29'92 in. by 9 A.m. on the 3d ; increased to 30'03 iu. by 9h. p.m. on the same day ; decreased to 29•86 in. by noon on the sth ; and increased to 29 93 in. by the end of the week.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.—We saw, some weeks ago, in a Pennsylvania paper an anni.uncement that a motive power had been discovered to supersede the use of steam. It is said that some facts have recently come to light which entitle the statement to credit. Professor Salomon, of liar rochburgh, Kentucky, has suc..essfully applied the power of carbonic acid gas as a substitute for steam in propelling en ginery tor every purpose. The power of this gas has long been known to chemists, but their inability to regulate and govern it has prevented its use as a propelling agent. Pro fessor Salomon claims to be able to control it with perfect safety, and asserts that it will afford a pOwer equal to steam in one-fiftieth of the space, and one-hundredth part of the expense with both furnace and boilers. Experiments have recently been made in Cincinnati, which are said to be en tirely satisfactory.— Nashville (United Stales) Banner. BARNET CATTLE FAIR, LAST DAY.—This impor tant cattle fair terminated yesterday, and upon the whole greatly to the ratisfaction of a large class of salesmen, who succeeded in disposing of nearly all their live stock, if not at high, nevertheless at remunerating prices. This fair is held chiefly for the sale of young beasts to be laid down in the grazing counties throughout England for future conditioned purposes, when they are transferred into the several markets both in London and the provinces. There was a current call during the last of the fair for-Welch and Irish steers and heifers, and only a few were left unsold ; milking and down calving cows maintained high prices throughout the fair; young horses were never known to be dearer, and were all sold ; small ponies were in request, and fully maintained the first day's prices. 1,049 Deatn4 , • in the Wcei.

The banquet, which was provided under the superintend ence of Messrs. Ring and Brymer, was served in the Egyptian Hall. Covers were laid for above 200. There was a splendid display of plate, among which was the celebrated cup and cover presented to the Clothworkers' Company, in the reign of Charles 11., by Sir Samuel Pepys, then master, and of which company the Lord Mayor is a member. Grace was said by the Rev. Dr. Vivian, the Lord Mayer's chaplain. The band of the Coldstream Guards, which was stationed . in the gallery, played various marches during dinner, and performed the thanksgiving afterwards. The vocal depart ment was under the direction of Mr. Lockey. • The loving cup was sent round; Mr. Harker, the toast master, proclaiming " the hearty welcome." The LORD MAYOR, in giving the first toast, claimed for the citizens of London that they were always conspicuous for their unfeigned loyalty to the Crown and attachment to the throne and person of the Sovereign—(Cheers)--and sub mitted that the times cal'ed for a demonstration of that loyalty.—(Renewed cheers.) His Lordship gave " Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen ; long may she live, to reign over a happy, a free, and united people." The toast was enthmiestically applauded; and, when it had been duly honoured, the National Anthem was sung. The LORD MAYOR then gave the second toast, prefacing it with the observati o n that P r i nce Alb er t, th e beloved con sort of our Queen, had always manifested a desire to advance the best interests of the people of this country.—(Cheers.) In the arduous duty he had undertaken with reference to the approaching Exhibition he m ght depend on the cordial co operation and support of the people.—( Hear, hear.) His desire had been, and doubtless would al ways be, to promote peace and good will, not only in this country, but through; out the whole world—( hi ear, hear)—'and he (the Lord Mayor)—was satisfied that the effort which - was being made would be crowned with success.;-(Cheers.) He gave " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the other branches of the Royal Family," The toast was very much cheered. The LORD Mayon next gave the Army and *Navy ;" a toast which was also well received. General Sir Da L. Eva:is and Admiral BERKELEY pre e rented nhe acknowledgments of the two services. • • • Miss Poole then sang " The Spirit of Good." . t The LORD MAYOR again rose, and said it could hardly be necessary for him to state that this was not a political meet ing- (Hear, hear)—but it was one of the distinguished pri vileges'of the chief magistrate of London to have the honour ot entertaining her Majesty's Ministers -(1 ear, hear) - and in availing himself of that privilege he could assure her Ma jesty's Government that they were never entertained in that hall with a more hearty welcome.—(Cheers.) He was one of those who thought it was the duty of good subjects to obey to a proper extent "the powers that be," and to co operate with them in promoting the public geed—(Hear, hear a-and he felt that the-country was deeply indebted to her Majesty's Government at this time.—(Hear, hear.) He believed they were actuated by the purest motives - (Hear, hear)—and by the most anxious desire to promote the best interests of this mighty empire- (Hear, hear)—and he felt it a great honour to haVe the opportunity of proposing as a toast, " Her Majesty's Ministers," associating with that toast the name of the'Nobtrafseird, one of the members for that great city—LadiaOtessell.—(Much cheering.) The toast was drunk' y 7 - 'the company standing, and amidst much applause, . Loid J. RUSSELL, on rising, was received with much cheering, which was several times renewed. When the ap plause had subsided he s_poke as follows : -My Lord Mayor, I rise to return to your Lordship - and to this company our most grateful thanks for the honour you have done us, as Ministers, in proposing our healths this day. I beg to assure you that I feel it is a great relief, as you have justly ob served, that we are not here to speak of any political ques tions; and I feel, therefore, that I am not at liberty to enter into any of those political discussions upon which there may prevail in this company differences of opinion.— (Cheers.) But, my Lord, you have observed, and it is all I wish to say on this occasion, that you believe we are sin cerely actuated by a desire to promote the welfare of this country—(Cheers) —and I trust I may be allowed to add that, as representative of this City likewise, it has been my wish always to promote the welfare of the community—and even if, at times, I may have differed from the wishes of this great orporation, I trust they will still give me credit for being actuated by a sense of public duty.—(Loud cheers.) And now 1 might content myself with having returned thanks for the honour you have done us, were it not that this day recals to my mind the con dition in which we were placed three years ago. NVe can all recollect, on the evening previous to that 10th of April, what were the doubts, the misgivings, the fears that there might be some violation of the public peace—fears, even, that there might be loss of life on the ensuing day. But, my Lord Mayor and gentlemen, on the evening of the en suing day we found ourselves perfectly safe; and safe, not I a ill venture to say, on account of the armed force that was in this metropolis—although the armed force, the email armed force that was in London would, no doubt, have done its duty if there had been occasion for it—but because the people themselves rose—(Cheers) —they rose, not to cause, but to prevent riot and disturbance; they rose to maintain, a-'d not to subvert the institutions of the country.—(Loud cheers.) I trust that on any similar occasion the same spirit will be evinced ; and that, knowing the benefits we enjoy under this free Government, we shall be ready to defend those benefits, and to transmit the institutions we prize to our posterity.—(Renewed cheers.) We are about to have in this country large numbers of foreigners assem bled to see what, I trust, may prove one of the most inte resting sights that the world ever beheld. It has been rumoured, and your respected Recorder has mentioned that rumour elsewhere, that advantage would be taken by sonic of those who will ceme to visit this country to disturb our internal peace; but I feel confident that that peace will be preserved, nut only by the strong arm of law and of justice, but became I feel that any who, on such an cession, Leing our guests in this City, should attempt to disturb that peace, would be eJndetnned by the universal voice of mankind as guilty of the basest violation of the sacred laws of hos-. pitality.—(Great cheering.) I trust, therefore, that those who may visit this country, never having had occasion to be in England before, will see with admiration the extent of our trade and commerce, that they will see a thriving p ‘pu lation, and that they will have reason to be convinced that there must be something excellent in the laws, something excellent in the spirit, something excellent id the traditions of that people which exhibits such a spectacle. In thiS City I am sure they will meet with a cordial reception, and I have no doubt they will have reason to be grateful for the splendid hospitality which is ever exhibited here.- (Cheers) I trust that when that event is over we may all congratulate our selves not only on the exhibition of the productions of art -and industry, but that so many people of so many different nations, whether of Europe, or of our bre.hren on the other side of the Atlantic, meeting in this great metropolis, may have tended, by the interchange of friendly sentiments, to place on a still more secure founda tion than it now rests the world.—(Much cheering.) The Lome MAYOR, in proposing the next toast said he had to regret the absence of several of the representatives had the of o foreign Powers from unavoidable causes' pleasure of being able to associate with the toast of " The F or eign Ministers" the name of au esteemedecalled—M;. . Law and excellent friend, if be would allow h imself so to b rence, the American Minister. who wasguishedThe toast was extremely well received.

But, my Lord May or, I have great plea suremy acknowledgments in making my , not only on my own acco unt, but on account o my colleagues, for the great honour you have done us in affording us an opportunity of being present this evening at this banquet, given to her Majesty's Ministers, and giving me occasion to bear testimony—analinv I am sure I express the sentiments of the whole diplomatic corps-to the great kindness which has always been, as far as I know, extended by her Majesty's Ministers to the whole corps diplonzati que in London. — (Hear, hear.) You know as well as I that much depends upon first impressions when a foreigner comes here to repre sent his country; and I can assure you that the impressions made by her Majesty's Ministers, from the First Lord of the Treasury through the Cabinet, have left none other than the kindest associations on the part of the diplomatic corps as , connected with those Ministers—( Hear, hear)—more espe cially I should name the Noble Viscount at the bead of foreign affairs, whom we feel to not only be the most labo rious, painstaking, obliginp:,, business man in the kingdom (Laughter and eheers)—but one always ready to extend hospitality to us, not only in the town but out of the town — (Hear)—not only in season, but ont of season.— (A laugh.) My, Lord Mayor, I know where I am, and I know I have but Iwo or three minute:, and I shall not t a k e up inure; but you have alluded to a subject of great importance, not only to this nation, bpt to all the world—the Great Exhi bition that is to take piece in a few days. lam one of thosa who believe that it was conceived in wisdom, that it has been carried ont with energy and judgment, and that those men who conceived it, and who have had the manage ment of it, will have done great honour to themselves, alai when it shall have b een fi n i s h e d, b rou ght great glory to England,--(Cheers.) I believe it to be a beneficent, a peaceful measure, and, as one of the diplomatic corps, I have taken a deep interest in its success—( Hear, hear)—and I have not a doubt that peace, and qu i e t, an d goodwill will reign in your borders for six months to come—(Cheers) and that when the great number of foreigners that shall have come here shall have gone home they will carry none other than the kindliest feelings with• them.—(Renewed cheers.) I am quite sure that nothing can exceed the great pains taken by , as saying bu having tth e public hadblie institutions el institutions l and believe li the Royal Commi ss i on , th e 'E xecut i ve Comm i ttee, and every body connected with th e E x hibi t i on to ma k e i t accepta bl e to all the world.—(H ear , h ear. ) I cannot sit down without ayinningn that Minister has, often t o ma k e app li cat i on not only to the Go p rivat private every soci f a o t r i e o i n g s n , and even noblemen who have works of art and things worthy the attention of foreigners, I am gratified to find that those are all to be thrown open to the world. I believe the fo reigners who conic here will receive every attention and con sidration this great nation is capable of bestowing; and, when it shall all have been done, I am quite sure there will be no man in England who will regret its having taken place, as there will be no foreigner who shall come here that will not carry away kinder feelings than when he came.—( Hear, hear.) t will not take up more of your time than to thank you for giving me. the opportunity of being present at this banquet to her Majesty's Ministers. .(Cheers. ) The Loup MAIN:a.: then gave " The House of Lords," and associated with the toast the name of the Marquis of Abercorn. _ _ _ _ The Marquis of Anznconx, in acknowledging the compli ment, made a reference, which was much cheered, to the cir cumstance that the peerage had the privilege of continually, recruiting its ranks from the princely merchants and other classes of the people. Lord J. Russunr, proposed the health of the Lord Mayor, observing that he believed there had been no Lord Mayor who had discharged the duties of his high office more to the satisfaction of his fellow- citizens —(Cheers.) The right dis charge of those duties was of great importance to the metro polis; and it was of the utmost consequence to the Govern ment to have a Lord Mayor upon whose cordial co-opera tion they could at all times rely, and to whose judgment they could look for assistance in any emergency that might arise. —(Hear, hear.) The company rose to drink the toast, and followed it by a hearty cheer. ----- The LORD MAYOR acknowledged the toast, and said it was his most earnest desire to discharge aright the duties of his °thee to promote the good of his fellow-citizens and earn their approbation.— (Cheers.) His Lordship then gave " The House of Commons and Lord Palmerston," to whom, he observed, the country was most deeply indebted for ser vices. not only in the Senate, but, he might say, throughout the world.—(Cheers.) • Lord PALMERSTON said—My Lord Mayor, ladies, a - d gentlemen, in the name of the House of Commons, I beg to return you cur grateful thanks for the compliment you have, just: paid to that great and noble assembly. For myself, I . most cordially and sincerely thank you for having done me the great honour of coupling my name with the Commons' House of Parliament; and I am still more indebted, my Lord Mayor, to your kindness for the flattering, and I am sorry to say undeservedly flattering, terms in which yeu have been pleased to introduce this toast.—( Hear, hear. ) It is indeed natural that. on an occasion when you Lave assembled at your hospitable board so many of the most distinguished men of the country—distinguished IT services of every kind, both civil and military—at a time when you have also the presence of that most distin guished representative, as he has described himself; of the world—of the foreign world, but whom, from the sentiments he expresses, and lrom the cordial inhere. the takes in every thing which concerns the welfare of . this country, as well as his own, we scan hardly call the representative of foreign Ministers, for we may elairn . tim almost asbne ofourselves— (Cheers)—it is natural that on such au occasion your Lord ship should call to the remembrance of the assembled com-, panr that brangh pf ouiLegislaturet—the House of Commons. —(Hear_') For,"firy Lord, you who s are at the head of this grelt rreeTropolis of the world - you who at, this moment re present Vous the comwercial princes of England, must feel the vatinot that legisAtion of which the House of Commons has beenlbe ia&trument.,—(Cheeri.) In vain would a coun try be possessed.of inexhaustible resources - in vain would nation boast %the intelligence of its people—of the enter prise, of the .skill, and of the capital of its merchants, if its laws not giVe freedom at home, and security 'for the enjoyment•ef the fruits of industry.—(Hear, hear.) It is the dispensation of 'Providence that mankind shoullbo divided into rich and poor—that the rich should be conip,ata tively few, and that the poor should be comparatively many ; but, though no human legislation can alter that arrange ment, it is in the power of our lawgivers so to legislate that the poor shall be protected from oppression by the rich, and that the rich shall be defended against violence frm the poor.—(Cheers.) That duty the Parlia ment of England has amply and successfully performed, and hence it is that, while we have seen all the nations in Europe convulsed with disorder—while we have seen industry sus pended, commerce paralyzed, institutions civil and political overthrown—while we have seen fields that ought to be trod only by the peaceful husbandman beat down by the trampling of the iron heel of armed legions—while we have se'n them bathed with the blood of kindred though con flicting armies—the people of this country have exhibited an example of tranquillity, of order, and obedience to the laws, which, to long as the history of these times shall endure, will command the admiration of mankind.—(Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, haxigg thus performed my duty in thank ing you for the toast' Wlnch "yew have proposed, and for the honour which you have done me, perhaps you will permit me to travel somewhat further, but still I trust not depart _ ing from the character in which you have called upon me to stand. For though the House of Commons is intent upon sterner duties, that House is not insensible to the respect which is due to the fairer portion of creation—(Laughter and cheers)—and I hOld myself, therefore, to be not a less faith ful representative of the House of Commons, when I invite this assembled company to drink "Health and happiness to my Lady Mayoress." • The toast, which was very much applauded, was acknow ledged by the Lord Mayor." The next toast was " The English Bar." The ATTORNEY. GENERAL, in returning thanks, regretted that the task had not devolved upon his Learned Friend the Solicitor-General (Mr. Page Wood), who had an hereditary distinction there—(Cheers)—whose value as a colleague he cordially appreciated—(Hear, hear)—and whese advance ment to his p'esent position must be a great satisfaction to the citizens.of London.—( Hear, hear.) He would add, that to have their approbation must always be matter of pride and gratification to the bar.—(Hear, hear.) The toasts of " The Members for the City," " The Magis trates of the City," " The Recorder," and " The Sheriff's," followed. The company then broke up." ARRIVALS FOR . 7:11E EXHIBITION. "The arrivals of grods," says a correspondent of the Weekly News, "both British and foreign, have been unceas ing, and the Kensington-road has daily presented a scene which must have been particularly offensive to the far famed Rotten-row interest; and therefore correspondingly gratifying to all the friends of the Exhibition. From early morn till dewy eve,' heavily-freighted waggons, carts, vans, and • conveyances of all descriptions, on many of which Pickford' a name which will assuredly be carried to the remotest posterity - was coospicaously emblazoned, might be seen in one continuous array, frequently extending from Sloane-street to considerably beyond whilome Gore House, now the Symposium of all :Nations". ! the addresses on some of the huge-packing cases exciting the risible faculties of many of the by-goers, and making us sigh involuntarily for the native well of English undefiled,'—a' well' which some of our exhibitors seem most pertinaciously determined to 'let alone,' no less in their addresses than in their cata logue descriptions and epistolary communications to the om niscient Digiq -Wyatt. Even our proverb ial gravity was svell nigh upset as we watched the movements of a bucolic looking old gentleman, in very pronouce top boots, and with 'spectacles on nose,' near the-Knightsbridge Barracks, fairly shaking his portly sides, at a label on a mammoth packing case, which lie was convulsively endeavouring to deciph er . Remembering the example of our illustrious prototype, Pickwick, we proceeded, after ejaculating 'God Mr, bless our soul, what a remarkable fact !' to take out our note-book, and to transcribe therein for the fature delectation of our readers, verbatim et literatim, the address wh ich had thus tickl e d our rural friend. It bore the most unmistakeable evidence of being the production of nos voisins croutrc Manche, and ran as follows : Sit VYAT AND SIR FOX ENDERS,ON, ESQVIRE, GRATE EXPOSITION PARK OF AIDE, GLACE. AT LONDON. SOFTLY. TO BE POSED UPRIGHT• MARCH, ISLE or ELY.—An extraordinary case has just occurred at this place, whereby three women have nearly lest their lives, and one is actually dead. It would appear that Mr. Edward Miller, a brewer and malister, had ascertained that two of his maid servants had been pilfering his flour, and told them of it, but agreed, on their promising better behaviour for the future, to look over the offence, and continue them in his service. This charge was laid by Mr. Miller on Monday, and on Tues day morning Mr. Miller's two servants were missing, and al;o a third in the employ of Mrs. Jones (Mr. Miller's sister), who lived text door to Mr. Miller. Nothing was heard of them until dark on Tuesday evening, when it wa-; ascertained that one of Mr. Miller's servants bed died back of being discovered under a hedg e in a fi e ld at thel l s: of the town). This lass had been observed about two o'clock? on Tuesday lying under a straw stack, apparently - tipsy: s ' i t u t ; there is no doubt fiorn what has since transpired, that the other was then suff ring from the effects of laudanur house two girls were searched for and found in contigu ous to Mr. Miller's back premises, sufferinegaf fr o m the effects suffering-wLehed and of strong doses of laudanum.

It would seem that the three went and l ay under a hedge in the fields together, but that the tr m osurv ivors, who are no w i n a very precarious state, had taker.ore laudanum th an the unfor tunate deceased, and had voided their doses. An inquest is to be held, at which there is no doubt that the full particu lars will come out.

Alary slif'si event of a certain importance—always supposing that his future works will keep the promise made •by the present. The subject of Le Tre Nozze is amusing, and pleasantly carried on from beginning.to end. The pivot of the plot is the mystification of a pompous old baroa (Lablache), who, proud of his wealth and his ancestors, comes from the provinces a suitor for the baud of Luisa (Mme., Soutag); but, the young lady having given her hi art to u lisodsouse cavalier (Gat- ' doni), the losers, with the aid of Crieca (Ferranti), a smart intriguing kind of Figaro, end the earuerists of Luisa (Srme. Giuliani), enter into a plot to mys tify and frighten the old gentleman out of lsiS absurd pretensions, and they succeed so well that he gives up the daughter and Marries her mother, the Maechela di Forli (1111 e. bits Beitrand), The scene being laid at Naples during the carnival, gives carte blanche to every kind of disguise and extrava i7anlctee,rnaantdelythdeupuendfoarnd tuaamytestßifiaerd y Baron, a mixyttitteree, the e f g D re n i : hlagaifico and Pasquale, inimitably acted by Lablache, all pa blow being, however, given by the camerista, who at the wedding party throws herself at his feet in the guise of • victim, and, demanding justice in the name of her out ragsd innocence, hints something of a little pledge of af fectionewho has particular claims upon his paternal care. The indignant lliarchests on this diecuvery breaks off the marriago with her daughter, and after some fur ther adventures as we have already said, weds him herself, the younger quartette of loves making up matters at the same time, and hence the title of the piece—Le Tre Nozze. It will be seen from this sketch that it is completely an opera-buffs. The music—light, tasteful, and abounding in passages of graceful melody—will speedily find its way y to every piano and concert-room. It is - true that reminis canoes frequently present themselves, not exactly in the forth ot imitation, but every now and then a tittle pasiege drops in unmistakeably of - th e f am il y of Donizetti, Belliui, or Rossini. Notwithstandin g this, however, the opera is by no means a ithout originality, and nearly every aria displays a vein of animated and sparkling melody, w hile the riorceaux d'ensernble and the instrumentation show the hand • of an accomplished musician. The first air, "P' iu bel sole," sung by Ferranti, at once Wall the favour of the audience for the composer; the style is large, and very well executed by this rising young singer; it was warmly applauded. The next striking mu' ceau is the aria dintrata of Lablache, very ffoctive, with a spirited chorus of masquers, and a trio " Negliastri," which .follows between Mesdames Sontag and Giuliani, disguised as Bohemians, and Lablacbe, were both admirable. The second ad opens with a chorus and one of the prettiest airs in the piece, sung by Mademoiselle Ida Bertrand, though of far too sentimental a cast for the occasion ; the Marchesa being simply scolding her ser vants and ordering an excellent dinner, which the composer has thrown into an air of touching sensi bility and tenderness. It was much applauded. The capital scene of the piece follows, in which Lablache essays a lesson of love-making; and the young lady in re. turn Undertakes to give bim a lesson of bon ton and credal Judaus ! to teach the Leviathan basso to trip the polka! Ilad the success of the opera been at all doubtful, this scene would at once hive decided the public in its favour. The acting and singing of Mmc. Sontag and Lsbleche were teddy matched, and the result was an ovation for both these gi eat artistes. The finale of this act is coeceived and rfrittCll in a large and truly musician-like stale, and was justly received with the loudest demonstrations of favour. In the third act we must notice a charging chorus in a saiceato movement, Nene Serra," spiritedly sung rind greatly applauded; a comic duo between Lab lache and Ferranti, "Io irnbroglione," was simi larly honoured; a graceful solo, well sung by Gar dtnti, and a briudisi by the same singer, with a chorus, were likewise most favourably ri ceived. A steilting srxtuor, 't I miei giuri," is noticable for com meadsble breadth of style, and as a finale, the polka air above-mentioued, sung as a rondo with variations by Mme. Sontag, is her own inimitable style, brings the (Tens triumphantly to its conclusion. Th e p r i nc i pa l artistes were all recalled at the fall of the curtain s i ts the cbt - nposer. an honour which had been already thrice bestowed upon M. Alary during the representation.— Galignani. BANK OF FRANCE. The following is a return of the situation of the Bank of Franco on April 3:— ASSETS. Catlin hand ...

A taudent in one cf the academies in France was , spending his vacation at the house of one of his rela tions, whom we will call Madame T—. She was . * very captivating woman—beautiful, witty, and, withal; a widow.
