Nobly, bravely, beautifully has he told the tale of the sorrows awaiting those who toil unavailingly to themselves, though with advantage to the world at large, in the service of that Muse which is the jealous mistress of the student in literature. Our emotions have been touched so profoundly by the pathetic force of those passages in the composition before us, that we shrink at the moment from anything like an appreciative analysis of its humour as well of character as of inci dent, a humour genial, mellow, and spontaneous, as may be found exemplified in the hearty but suspi cious Sir Geoffrey, in the rollicking but loveable Wilmot, in the Duke of Middlesex, as proud as Lucifer, but as staunch in honour as Duguesclin, in the wily but magnanimous Hardman, and in that silly but well-natured Shadowly Softhead, a hankerer after fashion and the nobility, but a little fellow whose every vein is throbbing with probity. everal of the scenes are as laughter-moving in their very extravagance of fun as some of the happiest of Moliere's, the most in comparable of comic dramatists. Even to the notes scantily sprinkled through the pages the evidences of the author's graceful scholarship extend—his re ference to Farquhar being one of the most charming apologies for an apparent plagiarism that writer ever ventured upon articulating. Everywhere, in short, throughout the whole of this masterly and interest ing production are visible the most fascinating of the moral and intellectual powers of the dramatist, the re sources of an abounding ideality, the sparkle of un ostentatious wit, the depth and sweetness of a mas culine and subduing pathos, and with all these the fervour of his more generous sympathies, and the alleviating earnestness of a nature as resolute in appli cation as it has proved noble in magnanimity. FINE ARTS. THE ART-JO URNAL. In addition to its. many splendid attractions the Art• Journal for May contains the first instalment of the illustrated Catalogue of the Exhibitiou, a series long promised and eagerly expected. Considering the bewilderment natural to everyone who ♦isits the Crystal Palace, a confusion as to which among the countless curiosities contained in it shall be inspected, it must be acknowledged that the editor of this cata logue of embellishments has acted very judiciously in his selections. The title-page designed by Luke Lim ner, is itself a beautiful specimen of pictorial ingenuity 7-representing as it does very gracefully the union in friendship of the artist and the artizans and the crowning of them both by Peace. Foley's group of " Ino and '1 , Bacchus," Vecht's shield of the " Murder of the Innocents," Kiss's bronze casting of the "Amazon," Kahszinann's " Hobe offering nectar to the Eagle of Love," and Rietschel's " Pieta," will be recognised among the woodcuts by every individual who has crossed the threshold of the great building in Hyde-park. Added to the interest secured to the publication by those supplementary attractions are those habitually belonging to the Art-Journal. Its copies this month from the paintings in the Vernon Gallery are Howard's " Flower Girl," and Turner's " Golden Bough." Sarpendon, from the bas-relief of Watson is the third principal embellishment. Together with these are given a portrait of Albert Durer, and sketches from some of his principal productions. Among the latter is conspicuous his famous and elaborate representation of "Melancholy," followed by the not less celebrated " Coat of Arms with the Death's Head." The letter-press is as excellent as the en gravings are meritorious throughout the whole of this double periodical. FRENCH RAIL WAY TRAFFIC.

AFFECTING CIRCUMSTANCE.—FUNERAL SERMON. ..- On Sunday evening a sermon was preached at the Wes leyan chapel, Tunbridge Wells, by the Rev. John Skidmore, on the occasion of the deaths of Henry and Charles Godomark, aged respectively eighteen and nineteen years. They were tho only children of their parents, both were educated in the Wesleyan Sunday school, after which they were both elected teachers, and subsequently both entered the Wesleyan So ciety, the eldest in 1649, and the youngest in 1850. For se veral months past both were afflicted with consumption; they died within a few hours of each other, and both were buried in one day in one grav e .

TSB EAGLE AND THE GEAVE-DIGGER.-011 MOH. day afternoon last, about half-pmt three o'clock, the sexton of St. Nicholas's Church, Nottingham, was preparing the last earthly home of a person recently deceased, when he heard a sound, a lit tle distance overliearhd,a:4's upwards huge wings he battling with the breeze , and on cast ing is perceived a majestic eagle soaring in the air, being evidently about to alight in the churchyard. The bird-kirg took a gallant swoop, ,and then settled on a mound of green turf near the wonder-struck sexton, who, in a fit of desperate courage, resolved, if possible, to effect a capture of the noble bird. The feathered giant peered keenly at his civilised op ponent, and drooped his wings lie a game cock preparing for the tug of war. They advanced towards each other, closed, struggled, and the contest had commenced. Textil e manu facture soon gave way before the rapid attacks made upon it by the eagle's hard beak and sharp talons, but the represen tative of the man tribe was determined to show that he was one of " the lords of the creation," and reso was lv ed e o d rroe t u o dsul r em p at u ion e; or perish in the attempt.

Murchison delivered, at this institution, one of a series of lectures on select points of Natural Philosophy, in which Major Adam s an d C o l o n e l Hamilton Smith have already taken part. Sir Itoderick's subject on this occa sion was the Formation of Mountain Ranges. This process he illustrated by reference to the Alps, whose configuration and glacial phenomena he described by reference to dia grams. The lecture excited great interest, and tne speaker was frequently applauded. THE CRYPT AT THE GUILDHALL.—A vast number of the metropolitan visitors have been within the last fort night to see the Guildhall. The crypt under part of the great ball in which the civic entertainments are given has been completely clsaned, and the splendid columns have been to a certain extent polished, and the arches, which are considered specimens of first-rate skill, have been completely developed. There is in the middle of the crypt a large red granite bowl of enormous weight, which has attracted much Cttrioslty, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1851. COURT CIRCULAR.

I In continuing to expose the adulterations practised by London tradesmen; the Lancet during the past few weeks has given the result of some renewed in vestigations regarding coffee and chicory. Out of 42 esh trials of coffee adulteration was detected in 31 samples, and very often under peculiarly disreputable circumstance. In some cases, for example, houses professing to sell pure coffee or coffee and chicory mixed, according to the wish of their customers, are discovered, nevertheless, to vend an adulterated article on all occasions. One house, which parades its desire to enable its friends to obtain genuine coffee by fur nishing them with mills at cost price, so that they may grind it for themselves, nevertheless does not hesitate to palm off the spurious mixture whenever reliance is placed upon its own honour. Another, which reminds the public that "quality is the test of cheapness," sells a compound of which chicory is the principal ingredient ; and the same is the case with a house which is noticed as attracting customers by expressly cautioning them against that "in iquitous " system. In fact, the most specious puffs uniformly accompany the worst specimens, and the words " warranted genuine" are used to dispose of the vilest trash. The price at which these preparations are sold is from ls. to Is. 4i• per lb., and their real value being about 6d. to Bd., the extent to which the poor are defrauded may easily be estimated. At the same time it appears that under the encouragement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer the resort to chicory is increasing, while the revelations of the Lancet have succeeded in check ing the use of roasted corn, beans, and other cheaper though not more objectionable substances, which cannot be defended by the plea of Government pa, tronage. The most daring delinquencies, however, occur when the article is sold in canisters, packages, or bottles—a circumstance which was to have been expected, since, although the canister, &c., cost 2d. or 3d., there is no difference in the price charged. One adulterator upon a large scale calls parti cular attention to his signature, " without which none is genuine," and another, who adopts a similar plan, adds, "to counterfeit which is felony." Some stuff described as the " celebrated Exhibition coffee, consisting of a combination of the finest coffees of all nations," contained scarcely anything besides chicory, except a vegetable substance resem bling mangold-wurtzel. The taste and odour of an analogous compound, called the " True Parisian Coffee," were also very disagreeable. Out of 29 specimens purchased in this form the whole, with only a single exception, were adulterated with chi cory, so as frequently to consist of little else, while in five cases roasted wheat and substances resembling mangold-wurtzel!and acorn were likewise detected. In some degree, however, justice is now likely to be done, since the Lancet boldly publishes the name and address of every one of the parties, and although the majority belong to poor districts, where it is not likely a medical journal will extensively circulate, yet there are many well-known west-end and city shopkeepers included in the list. At the same time mention is made of the firms whose coffee has been found genuine. These are—Mr. Betts, Oxford street (second trial) ; Knight and Sons, Grace church-street (second trial); Ridgway and Co., King William-street ; Henry Sharpe, Bishopsgate-street ; E. Deane, Shoreditch ; Fortnum and Mason, Picca dilly ; Branscombe and Co., Pall-mall ; Dann John ston and Co., New Bond-street; G. Payne and Sons, Regent-street ; Stanifortb, Oxford-street ; and W. Holland, Oxford-street. While coffee is adulterated principally with chi cory, chicory is understood to be in turn adulterated with carrot, rnangold-wurtzel, dog-biscuit, red-earth, horse chestnut, acorns, tan, mahogany sawdust,baked horse's and bullock's liver, and burnt blood. Out of 23 samples tried by the Lancet, eleven were found to contain spurious ingredients—such as roasted carrot, wheat, and acorns, mahogany sawdust, mangold wurtzel, and Venetian red. With respect also to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's defence of this "wholesome and nutritious root," the public are again reminded that apart from its inherent worth lessness, it is regarded as an aperient and diuretic, and a question is raised whether the great increase which is known to have taken place of late years in renal disorders may not probably be traced to its use. A belief is also expressed that from its narcotic cha racter it produces injurious effects on the nervous system, and it is said that Professor Beer, of Vienna, the celebrated German oculist, is so convinced of this fact that he has enumerated chicory-coffee as among the causes of amaurotic blindness.—Times. SPORTING NOTES. No. LVII. REMINISCENCES OF THE DERBY.—OAKS ANTICIPATIONS. "The tree of knowledge has been pluck'd—all's known." BYao2r. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—The following observations, made in my various Note s on the Derby, were realized, to the letter, by the running yesterday. In Note, No. V., of the 31st January, I remarked that Ariosto was no Derby winner. That " the Lord of the Tournament may have a tilt et Epsom fur the Olympic crown, but this year he will most certainly be thrown over. That Midas had a "diminutive outside chance." That Stebbing's sting was a dead failure this year. That " Teddington has been out five tunes and won twice—lie loohs well, and is visibly improved since last October." That " Tom Dawson is coming out with a CONSTELLATION, but it strikes me very forcibly they are fixed stars, shining brightly enough on • Middleham Moor, but, when removed, not likely to do so on the Downs of Epsom. That Storms understandings' are very cranky, and likely to give way altogether in the course of a Derby preparation." That " Mr. Clark's stout half•bred son of Venison and a Defence mare, the Marlborough Buck, is quite capable, I imagine, of repealing on a pinch the Hot• spur dose of 1849." That " Lightpot is not worth a thought!" That " Mr. Saxon's 'The Black Doctor will find the company too good for him." That " Mr. Sc. George's Brother to Chanticleer has been backed for a good deal of money; all gone into the Sinking Fund." In Note No. 51, of the 12th May, I remarked, that my original Derby team, which consisted of the Prime Mi nister, Newminster, Lamartine, and Storm, had fallen uff fromits high estate, but still thought that The Premier had a chanceleft. That The Ban was " not equal to the task of pulling through." Th at "Mr. Hill's Mountain Deer will find his master again, as he did before, in Her nandez." That " great things are expected of The seus—much more, in my opinion, than be can accomplish." And, in my " Finishing touches to our contribution to the Great National Exhibition on the Downs Epsom," in Note No. 56, I gave it as my final opinion that "Buckhound, England's Glory, Serus, Azeth, colts by Epirus and Tearaway, Bro to Chanti cleer, Runnymede, The Black Doctor, Hungerford, Newminster, Louis Napoleon, Guy Mannering, The Tout, The Ban, Ariosto, Telescope, and Glenhawk" might be " turned into the hopeless class; not one of them possessing THE GHOST OF A CHANCE of winning!" Also that " Midas, Constellation, Neasham, Mountain Deer, Hippolytus, Bonnie Dundee, and Theseus," would J 01771 the foremost portion of the ruck; NOT ONE OF THIS SECOND LOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN!" I also gave as my opinion, that the first flight would " consist of The Premier, The Buck, Hernandez, Teddington, Heartbreaker, and Lamartine," placing The Premier first, the Marlborough Buck second, and Teddington third. Now, what was the result? Why, that Ted dington's trial was correct; for, tooled by Job Marlon, he won, from the largest Derby field (33) on record, in acanter by two lengths ! The Buck, under the guidance of Whitehouse, was where I placed him, second; Neasham, by sufferance, third by a neck from Hernandez; the Premier fifth ; Lamartine sixth, The horses at the head of the ruck were Theseus, Bonnie Dundee, Hip polytus, Midas, Heartbreaker, and Constellation. The time (2 min. 51 secs.) was not equal to Surplice's in 1848, or Voltigeur's last year, but was superior to Pyrrhus the First's, Cossack's and The Flying Dutch man's. It will be seen by the foregoing statement, that though I did not exactly accomplish the feat of placing the first three as they passed the post, I was as nearly right as possible in every other respect ; the four I se lected to occupy the foremost places actually passing Judge Clark's Chair, first, second, fourth, and fifth. I believe, with the exception of my wide awake contemporaries of the Racing Times, I was the only dabbler in racing judgment that accomplished the abovementionad feat. Moat of the other races at Epsom have been decided exactly as I prognosticated. The field for " The Oaks " to-morrow, will not be anything like in proportion to that for the Derby; the following being all that is likely to run for it, viz.:—Payment (Bartholomew), Hesse Homburg, Aphrodite, lantbe, Sis. to Wanota (Marlow), Iris (Butler), Perdita filly, Catalpa (Nat), Misserrima, Emily (Wintringham), Terp sichore, Plokgra (Norman), Anspach (Kitchener), Pres tige (A. Day), Prima Donna, Incurable, Princess Alice filly (Holmes), Irene, and perhaps another or.two. Ac cording to my view of this very ticklish race, I must go for the three favourites—Payment, Hesse Homburg, and Aphrodite; expecting to see them pass the post as I have placed them. The next flight to consist of Iris, Catalpa, Sis. to Wanota, and Perdita filly. Latest Betting-10 to 3 agit Payment, 4 to 1 agst Hesse Homburg, 5 to 1 agut Aphrodite (offered), 8 to 1 agat lanthe, 8 to 1 agst Iris, 12 to 1 agst Sis. to Wanota, 12 to 1 agst Catalpa. Perdita filly not mentioned. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. May 22, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. -EPSOM, WEDNESDAY. In point of weather, the seventy-second anniversary of the Derby was remarkably fortunate; a shower fell early in the morning, enough to lay the dust, but neither heavy nor long enough to have any effect on the course, which, as may be imagined, from our report of the first day, was anything but favourable for horses with doubt ful feet. From the unusual facilities offered by the railways, we anticipated a monster gathering, and we were not disap pointed, for we will venture to affirm that a greater con course was never before seen on Epsom Downs. The South- Western line and the road contributed liberally to the mass, but a vast majority patronised the Brighton C in o t m h pan e an y where morning, , t trains short were inte r s v t a a I r s t , e ti n p f r t o o m h a a na l p r a l s y thourone, and with much less pressure and confusion than might reasonably have been expected on so exciting an occa sion; the arrangements, in tact, showed a marked im provement on last year. Great care was taken by the head 'of the police to prevent stoppages on the three thoroughfares from Epsom to the Downs, by placing horse patrols in different points; in short, all concerned in the management of the course, or of matters con nected with it, were well instructed, and carried qut their orders in a businesslike and efficient manner. With re ference to the great event we may observe that it is many years since the race, up to the day, was looked upon as so " open;" of this the number of starters alone may be quoted as a proof; the " million," in fact, arrived on the course pretty generally impressed with the idea that and dn nextor Voltigeurto that 07t whomthe hr ainndg defalcations, oavlu p eclr l a y e e useful th e r a n a i ff ul e affec tions, -1 some " outsider" would win: they had had no Flying t i i )u ont Lightfoot, the only horse to whom they evinced a de cided leaning was the Marlborough Buck, and on him, owing,per w ha er p e s, m to no t h he u r g ege te n r t listt a d ti h o a n v s e , t h h e e e i n r in vestmentsth case had the "money market" been in a healthy state. The first race of the day got over, the paddock became the centre of attractioe e the starters speedily emerged from it, and within a few minutes of the time fixed— three o'clock—were mounted, the course having pre viously been cleared with a tact, temper, and rapidity highly, creditable to the police. Having taken their preliminary canters, 'the horses, thirty-three in number, on e more than ever ._started. f or D er b y, Oaks, or St. Leger, returned to We paddock, were con d ucted from i t to the post, and got off without the s li g h test f a il ure at ten minutes past three.' ' The race may be described in a very few words. Teddington waited in front to the turn, was never afterwards headed, and won in a canter; the Marlborough Buck beating Neashism by a length, and the latter defeating Hernandez for the third place by a neck. Sir Joseph Ilasiley, who has now won both Derby and Oaks, and his party, win an immense stake, and most of the gentlemen are on the right side; on the other hand o the "ring" loses almost to a m an; and Mr. Davis, who h e a r d like an Buck °o°. b wereok, admits that the win- the worst horses he had in the race =liiis loss is ver y he avy. Job Musson won n this race last year on Volti g eur, and it is somewhat re markable that t he five leadin g f avourites were the first past the winning chair. he other races, it is only necessary to refer to the andsom etthheing Marlborough Of t Exhibition lanthe m i te, which made so ridiculous an example of her horses, that she immediately became a prominent favourite for the Oaks. Thanks to the aboli tion of heats, the racing was brought t o a c l ose s h or tly after six o'clock. The d en sely-crowded state of the stand, and the en closure, rendered it quite impossible to obtain a list of pall y perfect; we give a few names, however, the company to show t h a t the turf still has patrons in the higher classes: — Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Ne- MOM, his Royal Highness Prince Henry of the Nether lands, his Royal Highness the Duke cf Cambridge, his Serene Highness th e e of Saxe-Weimer , the Mar quis of Waterford , Marquis Princ of Worcester, Lord Gran ville, Lord Glasgow, Lord Enfield, Lord M arc h, L or d d B b nd,;Lor Bess borough, Lord Strath more,Eliptors, Lord Zetla Lord Lord George Manners.

Buckhound took the lead from the post, and with the Enterprise colt in his wake, the latter waited on by Ted dington, Constellation, Neasham, and Ariosto, led the way nearly to the top of the hill, the running being then taken from him by the Enterprise colt, Teddington fol lowing Buckhound, in company with Neasham and Ariosto, next to the latter lying Constellation, Heart breaker, the Marlborough Buck, and Lord Eglinton's two. This order lasted only to the mile post; Teddington then quitting his horses, and going on with a decided lead, the Enterprise colt and Buckhound giving way to Hernandez, the Marlborough Buck, Neasham, and Ariosto, to which lot the race, after making the turn, was confined. Marlborough Buck took the second place at the road, and held it to the distance, where Neasham went up, and by sufferance, got within a neck and shoulder of the favourite, by whom, however, he was very speedily disposed of. The Marlborough Buck and Hernandez were thus left within half a ' length of the favourite, who, having had the race in hand from the time he took up the running, left them without an effort, and won in a canter by two lengths, the Marlborough Buck beating Neasham by a length, Hernandez, who would have been third but for a disap pointment opposite the stand, finishing a neck from the latter. Prime Minister was fifth, and Theseus, Ariorito, and Lamartine well up. Run in 2 min. 51 secs. Epsom Town Plate of 50 soya.

No less than four of these little pieces were performed htst — tretiligcl - w — oof the first time. Levascor appeared in them, and was the life and soul of both. They have evidently been written:for him, as farces at the Lyceum or Adelphi are written for Charles Mathews or Edward Wright. They have nothing in them either in the way of incident or plot, but just consist of a few scenes, in which some gro tesque original is the prominent object with a few other characters, who merely serve to bring him out, and set off his ludicrous absurdities. Lovassor absolutely revels in fun and frolic, and indulges in the most extravagant flights; but his humour, though rich and broad, is free from vulgarity. Compared to the humour of some of our popular farceurs it is the, effervescence of cham pagne to the briskness of bottled beer. It is a plesant thing to enjoy a most hearty lough without being offended by indelicacy or coarseness. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The Derby day has had no effect whatever on the flow of visitors to the Cryetal Palace. On the contrary, the numbers who flocked there yesterday were greater than ever, and 3,5121. was taken at the doors. The sale of season tickets amounted to 2791., and the total receipts were 3,792/. Her Majesty and the royal party at the Palace arrived at the building shortly atter nine o'clock, and remained for nearly two hours, during which they examined the Fl ench, Spanish, Turkish, and Egyptian compartments. From all the accounts we receive the success of the undertskiug in a commercial point of view and with reference to exhibitors is likely to be quite .as great as it is now certain to be financially and with regard to the Royal Commis sion. Many of the most remarkable contributions have been bespoken for purchasers when the display terminates, and extensive orders have been given, founded on examples of excellence in the various menu lectures produced. There is every reason to believe, therefore, that exhibitors will be amply remunerated for all their outlay and trouble in the increased custom and reputation which they will secure. BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY.-At a meeting of mer chants and manufacturers, held in the committee-room of the Town-hall to-day, the Mayor in the chair, it was unanimously resolved to invite his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Royal Commissioners, and Executive Committee of the Great Industrial Exhibition to a public dinner in the Town-hall of this town at an early day, in testimony of their high sense of the efficient and impartial manner in which the labours of the Exhibition have been so far carried to a successful issue. A committee was ap pointed to carry out the objects of the meeting. It is intended that the entertainment shall be upon an exten sive and magnificent scale. MR. WYLD'S GREAT GLOBE. The public will be amply compensated for the delay which has occurred in opening this highly interesting exhibition, the interval having been actively employed, not only in completing the external portion of the build ing, and the approaches thereto, but in the decoration of the interior, and rendering the gigantic model itself as accurate in its proportions and finished in appearance as will comport with the ideas of the scientific proprietor. The defective iron palisading round the square has been restored, and is now under the hands of the painters. The grounds within are being ornamentally laid out, and the paths newly gravelled. The noble portico at the north or chief entrance is finished externally, be neath which is laid a paving of Orsi and Armani's patent metallic lava, while the flooring of the vestibule within i n brilliant is d covered with the same material, but of an ornamental a s d cr w ip h t i i t o e n,representing inlaid marble. The design displays elegant centre-piece , e n n e t l r o e s - e p d i e i i c i ea, square with floral o f white sur rounded by broad colours , alternately in coloured and black brilliant hes seats and to soften the effect.inlaid, the whole having a chaste, novel, and covered with corridor surrounding the model crimson cloth ranged around, above, a lining diagonal supporters of the of glare of the numerous glass lights muslin has been affixed; the the globe have been relieved of their sonatwil a' Unsi ghtlynppcararee by the introduc tion oti a erne; of light pillars, surmounted by curiously formed curvilinear aes orr arches ornamented with tasteful pillarets, and Iltdb with scrolls, foliage, Vic., in c o l our an d li g ht e., in naezarine blue, relieved w blue, the whole termed Byzantine,Tbe and designed after C cng of blue, be depicted.

T he buildin g , which has been well - ex ecuted by Mr. G. Myers, of the Belvidere-road, will, to gether with the other arrangements, be perfected in the course of the week, so as to be fit for the reception of the public by Monday next, previous to which, it is un derstood that her Majesty intends honouring Mr. Wyld with a private visit to this exhibition. NEWSVENDERS' SOCIETY. The twelfth annual general meeting of the News venders' Society was held last night, at the Belle Sauvage Hotel, Ludgate-hill. The chair was taken by Mr. L. Wild. The CLIAIBMAN read a letter from Mr. Harmer, stating that he was prevented by an accident from attending to take the chair, and enclosing a subscrip tion of 101. The SECRETARY read the report, from which it appeared that the capital of the society now amounts to 1,2501. Bank Stock. It contained an appeal to the members generally to use their exertions to extend the sphere of the society's usefulness, by procuring contributions to its funds, and announced that the annual dinner had been postponed till autumn. The report also directed attention to the statistical account, to be read by the Treasurer, as a matter for serious reflection. The committee pointed strongly to the sum expended for temporary relief, distributed, with two exceptions, to non-subscribers. They stated that they had received many other applications from in eligible parties, and begged to remind the members of the body that, with extraordinary exceptions, the funds of the society ought to be retained for the benefit of the bona fide subscribers, unencumbered by disbursements to parties who have not had the provident feeling to consider for themselves till the hour of need overtakes them, and who only do so then by seeking a remedy for their incautious ne glect from the accumulated pittances of the careful and prudent. The TREASURER read the statement of accounts for the year, from which it appeared that the receipts, including 571. 10s. 10d. balance on last year's ac count, amount to 1221. 83. 4d., and the outlay, in cluding 481. 4s. paid for Three per Cent. Consols, amounts to 981. ls. 101, leaving a balance in band of 241. 6s. 6d. Mr. T. G. Gillum( moved the adoption of the re port, and that it be printed and circulated amongst the friends of the institution. In doing so he called attention to the great services rendered to the public by the newsvenders. He likewise referred to the ad vantages conferred by the society on persons engaged in the trade, and to the encouragement which was thereby offered to them. Mr. GR4vAT seconded the resolution, which was put and carried. Votes of thanks were passed to the treasurer, com mittee, secretary, president (Mr. Harmer), and to the proprietors of the journals that have advocated the claims of the society. Elizabeth Bidmade was elected a pensioner of the society, and it was agreed that she should receive 10/. per annum. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. THE NEW LAW FOR THE PROTECTION OF AP PRENTICES AND SERVANTS.—Yesterday the important Act of Parliament, which received the Royal Assent on Tuesday, for the better protection of persons under the care and con trol of others as apprentices or servants, and to enable the guardians and overseers of the poor to institute and conduct prosecution, in certain cases, was printed. This Act, which resulted from a late painful case, contains nine clauses, and is now in force. It is provided that persons—masters or mis tresses—refusing or neglecting to supply necessary food to apprentices or servants, or unlawfully assaulting them, aro guilty of a misdemeanour, and liable to three years' impri sonment, with or without hard labour. The costs of such prosecutions are to be allowed. A register is to be kept of young persons under sixteen years hired or taken as servants from any workhouse, with particulars as prescribed in a schedule annexed to the Act. Young persons who are hired from workhouses, or bound out as pauper apprentices, are to be visited twice at least in every year, and the officer is to report to the guardians " in writing whether he has found reason to believe that such young person is not supplied with necessary food, or is subjected to cruel or illegal treatment in any respect." Where the residence is more than five:miles the parties are to be visited by the officer of the union or paridi in which they reside. The Act authorises and re quires parish officers to prosecute in certain cases where in jury has been inflicted on a poor person under sixteen years of age. Justices are to bind over parish officers to prose cute, and the costs of such prosecutions are to be allowed. The Act extends to England and Wales. THE ADVERTISING VAN NUISANCE.--Yesterday Mr. Bedford held an inquest in the board-room of St. Mar tin's Workhouse, on view of the body of Richard'Sicholson, aged sixty-three, who for above twenty years had a print stall adjoining St. Martin's Church. Samuel Newman, car man, 14, Stockwell-terrace, said that about two o'clock in the afternoon of the 2d inst. he was in a taxed ca t, drawn by one horse, which was proceeding down St. Martin's-lane, when near St. Martin's Church he passed a huge advertising van, at the sight of which the animal shied, and began to plunge and leap. He pulled the animal in, but while lloing so the shafts broke at the step iron, and he was thrown out unt'er the horse's hind legs. The animal went off at a furious and knocked the, deceased down, who was standing with his stall, which extended several feet along the street. He was picked up and carried to King's ColW: , ,e Hospital. Mr. C. Lewes, visiting surgeon at the hospital, said deceased, after being at law days at tho institution, left of his own accord. IN' itaess attended him at his lodgings. Ile died on Sunday last. Deceased had two ribs broken, which had penetrated the lungs, and produced effusion on the pleura, which caused death. Verdict—" Accidental death, caused by an advert isin g van." [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Bell' s Life in London, Sunday May 25.—Great Exhibition on Epsom Downs—the Derby and Oaks - and other sources of competition. Final award's by the judge, with remarks by Pegasus. Average sale of Bell's Lift in London, 30,0000. Bell's Life is regularly pub lished by Mr. Clement, jun., 170, Strand, at 4 o'clock on Saturday mornings, in time for the Saturday early morning mails and railways. COST OF LITERATURE.—A century ago the amount expended in books, periodicals, and newspapers, did not ex ceed 1 00,000/. a year, whereas the sum now so expended annually is calculated at 2,100,000/. THAMES YACHT CLUB. The following yacht; hare been entered to contend on Monday next, in the first match of the season, of this distinguished club: -- FIRST aiss.—Heroine, 35 tons, R. 8011, Esq.; Tartar, 36 tuns, W. H. Dawes; Musquito, 50 tons, Lord Lon desborough ; Cynthia, 50 tons, John Wicks , SECOND CLA 53.—Phantom 21 tons, S. Lane, Esq.; Whisper, 19 tons, T. Eveleigh; Secret, 25 tons, R. Bell, j un. THIRD CLASS.—Frolic, 10 tens, Alfred Cox, Esq.; Sea Nympth, 10 tons, C. Wheeler, jun.; Mazeppa, 12 tons, C. Bromley; Mouse, 15 tons, G. E. Brown. It will be as usual a time race; half a minute per ton being allowed for the smaller craft. Of the first class the extraordinary powers of the Musquito render her the object of first chance; but the beautiful sailing quali fications of the Cynthia make her a most formidable op ponent; the other two are fast boats, and are entitled to seven minutes the one, and seven and a half the other, time; but it is questionable whether they will be found even with that handicap contending successfully. The second class race creates a corresponding degree, if en tered with the first, and the best judges are lost in con jecture which to choose, so evenly are the yachts matched. The Whisper defeated both but recently, but it must be borne in mind that the Phantom carried away her h iulyards, when well to windward, and her reason able chance of victory snatched away by the accident. Of the third class, the Frolic and Alseeppa appear most in request; but what the Mouse, which is new, and has only made a slight start before, may do is difficult to say. The Ruby steamer and the band of the Royal Artillery have been engaged by the club, and will leave London-bridge at an early hour in the morning, calling at Blackwell on their way down to Erith, whence the race commences, the distance extending to the Nom light and back. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT RACES. These annual eight-oared races commenced on the evening of Monday, when the banks of the Isis were crowded with spectators. No less than sixteen flags (denoting the number of boats) streamed majestically from the beautiful barge belonging to the Oxford Uni versity Club. Precisely at half-past seven the boats started in the following order:— Wadham' 1 St. John's 9 2 University . 10 Brazenose Worcester Oriel Lincoln Exeter 7 Trinity Christ Church ... 8 Exeter, 2d l6 • Wadham, who had so gallantly maintained the proud position of " head of the river" last year, was compelled to give way to Baliol. Lincoln easily defeated and Jesus bumped Queen's near the lo ng bridge. The second Exeter would have served Trinity the same but for their bad steering ; the other boats kept their positions. TUESDAY.—Wadham again suffered defeat, Braze ' nose bumped them under the Willows. Oriel w as com pelled to give way to Exeter near Sanders ' s-br idge, and trinity bumped Queen's near the Cherwell. VAUXHALL.—BAL MASQUr•—The whole of the extensive walks, groves, rooms, rotunda, &c., of this well known establishment were last night thrown open to the public, and a bal masque given on an unusual scale of splen dour. The place was crowded; indeed so numerous a com pany was perhaps never a ssembled here before on a similar occasion. Englishmen and foreigners were to be seen in clustered groups, and till past midnight fresh parties were arriving at the doors, many of whom had spent the day on Epsom downs, and were resolved to conclude the n i g ht i n the alcoves of the " R o y al Property." For hours the gaiety of the scene was kep t up, and dancing, quite as v i gorous as elegant, was inces san t till daybreak warned the perfo rmers it was time to retire, the lamps "beginning to pale theirin effectual fire," and the limbs o f the dancers to grow tired with their extraordi nar y exertions. The whole of the ar rangements. under the proprietor , Mr. 'Wardell, assisted by B. B ar nett, the master of the revels, left nothing to be wished for. The grounds are excellently laid out, and though there is an almost endless variety of amusement, satiety is not produced. The be memo Was worthy the best days of the gardens. DIORAMA OF I%'I.NEVEH. A grand moving diorama of Nineveh, painted by Mr. Frederick Charles Cooper, the artist sent cut by th e British Museum to assist Dr. Layerd, is now being ex hibited at the Gothic Hall, 3, Lower Grosvenor -street. The views are very accurate, exceedingly well painted, and very interesting, and the explanatory lecture, de livered by Mr. Cooper, sufficiently explains them to those who have not read the work of Dr. Layard. The views commence with the city of Mosul, continuing with both the banks of the Tigris as far as the Mound of Nirnroucl, the first scene of Dr. Layard's labours. There is then a moonlight viow of the great Lion Gateway of the north-west palace, the excavations at Konyunjick, the remains of the great halls of the Assyrian Kings, and the French discoveries at Khorsabad. This interesting diorama will no doubt be visited by all who take an in terest in the subject which it illustrates, and it is quite as worthy the support of the public as any which have hitherto appeared. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. Having already noticed favourably two of the lectures " On Fire in its various relations," delivered by Mr. J. H. Pepper, chemical lecturer to the above institu tion, we therefore cannot permit the third and last of the course to pass without recording its particular in teresting features. The Learned Professor commenced by calling the attention of his audience to the ordinary appearance of light giving flame, and showed in a satis factory manner that when it afforded illuminating power not merely gaseous matter was brought up to a hi g h temperature, but that solid substances, as charcoal; i s a gas flame. Lime is the oxy-hydrogen light now abso lutely required. The maintenance of the heat and the supply of oxygen were next considered, and it was de monstrated that flame could be as it were frozen out and extinguished by the simple withdrawal of the heat by conducting metal. The obstruction of flame came next under consideration, the external figure being conical and shaped like a myrtle-leaf, because the air rushed past the outside and dragged up. Some beautiful expe riments with ascending and descending flames illustrated this part of the subject. Finally, the internal portion of flame was shown to be hollow. A flame was made up of three divisions, two external in a state of intense combustion, and a third inside being a centre core or hollow full of unburnt gas. This fact was demonstrated by some very curious experiments —a case of red fire with quick matches was held in the centre without igni tion. Fire appeared to extinguish fire, because the centre of the flame was full of unburnt hydro-carbon, which did not support combustion. This, with many other equally striking experiments and lucid explana tions, was received with great applause. MUSIC HALL-HENRY RUSSELL'S MUSICAL AND PICTORIAL ENTERTAINMENT. This well• known and highly-popular lyric author and vocalist, presented to our public, for the first time on last evening, his admirable musical and pictorial treat. The first part consisted of a representation of the scenes and incidents of an emigrant's progress from our shores to an American seaport, and thence up the giant western rivers, through forest and prairie, to the yet half-re claimed settlements in the far west. Nothing could be more beautifully depicted than the various scenes on land and sea represented in this portion of Mr. Russell's panorama, whilst his admirable and racy descriptions, and the music of his apposite and finely-rendered melo dies gave additional interest to each scene thus doubly illustrated. The second part of the entertainment con sisted of a series of panoramic scenes illustrative of negro life in primitive freedom, and afterwards in slavery. The first scene opens with a view of an African village, with its festivities—then follows a battle. of the tribes—then the capture and embarkation of the prisoners on board the slaver schooner, the chase by a British cruiser, and the rescue of one set of slaves. The scene changes to the Havannah, and we see the slave market and the sue ce eding pictures ponrtray the ♦arious descriptions of slave labour in the southern states. The entire of this panorama in all its phases is de scribed by Mr. Russell in a style of elegant and familiar dissertation, interspersed with numerous original anec dotes, and rendered still more delightful by a series of songs and ballads, pathetic and descriptive, the whole forming an entertainment which has been rarely equalled, and certainly never excelled (of its kind) i❑ Dublin. The audience of last evening was a crowded one indeed. The spacious Music Hall, in boxes, pit, and galleries was crowded to excess, and the repeated and enthusiastic plaudits that greeted every effort of the gifted ♦ocalist, evinced the deep delight experienced by all present at this novel and unique entertainment.—Dublin Freeman's Journal, May 20. NAVAL INTELLEGiNCE Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Cape!, K.C.8., returned to Portsmouth from short leave of absence on Tuesday evening, when his flag was rehoisled on board the Vic tory. Rear-Admiral Superintendent H. Prescott, C.B , has proceeded on 14 days' leave of absence; his fl,g was struck last night at sunset on board the Britannia, 120. Orders arrived at Portsmouth on Tuesday evening to prepare the royal yacht Victoria and Albert for imme diate service, and in consequence early yesterday morn ing the officers and crew were turned over to her, and were busy all the morning in getting on board her fur niture, bedding, and stores. She was to have been taken down the harbour early this morning, but a telegraphic order was received at two o'clock that her services would not be required, and she therefore remains in statu quo, and the Court will go over to Osborne in the Fairy at four P.M, to-day. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the junior members of the Royal Family, with their attendants, are expected (as we before stated) to arrive at the Royal Clarence Victualling Yard at noon to-day. preceding her Majesty and the Court to Osborne. Captain Lord Adolphus Fit zclarence was expected at Portsmouth last evening. The Fairy royal yacht, screw-tender, Master-Com mander Welch, and the Elfin, steam dispatch-boat, were taken out round Spithead yesterday, to test their engines and.machinery; this evening both vessels were all right. The state barges have been launched. It is currently reported that a number of illustrious foreigners now ♦isiting this country, will inspect Ports mouth naval arsenal to-morrow. Commander (retired) James Harvey Price died at Eign House, near Hereford, May 14, aged 64, and whose remains were interred in a family fault in the burial ground of All Saints on Monday morning last. The Governalo, Sardinian steam-frigate, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Plymouth, and went into harbour in the afternoon. At the harbour's mouth she did not appear to have steam sufficient, and got in the " doldrams," and it was thought at one time that she touched on the bar. After making sail she got her bead the right way, and finally got into harbour. Avon steam-tender arrived at Portsmouth on Tues day morning, and proceeded on to Plymouth. Devastation steam-sloop, Commander Campbell, went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning to try her engines and test her speed along the measured mile in Stokes Bay. She appeared to be a very fast vessel, and we have no doubt achieved 10 or 11 knots. WoOLWIcH, MAY 21.—The construction of the frame of the San Fiorenzo, 50 guns, building at this yard, has just been completed. This fine vessel has been framed upon a principle introduced into this yard by Mr. Wil liam Moody, the foreman of shipwrights, who superin tended the framing of the Caesar, 90, and the Windsor Castle, 120 guns, both built at Pembroke dockyard. The Lords of the Admiralty were so pleased with these ves sels that they awarded a gratuity of 100/. to be divided amongst the workmen, and conferred an annuity of 251. per annum on the inspector. The plan introduced by Mr. Moody effects a great saving in the time of the workmen, and a less number of days is consequently required, with an equal number of men, to finish a ves sel. Some idea may be formed of the time required to construct the San Fiorenzo when it is stated to be equal 0 the work of one man for 4,900 days. The Shearwater steam-vessel bad her bottom coppered yesterday, and was taken out of dock to-day.

Bright would be hanged at Manchester, Cob den at Leeds, and Sir James Graham at Carlisle.—(Laughter and cheers.) Then, too, a new Reform Bill was talked of, but he warned the Government that the Reform Bill which swept away the Protectionists would sweep the Dok e of Bedford out of Woburn Abbey; would, in all prob a bili ty, sweep the crown from her Majesty's head; and would, if he were not cautious, sweep Lord John Russell's head from hit shoulders."

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The rate of mortality that now prevails in London, that scarcely any improvement in the health of the population has taken place during the last seven weeks; and it continues higher then is usually observed in the middle of May. In the week ending last Satur day the number of deaths registered was 1,002; in the ten corresponding weeks of 1841-50 it was generally under 900; in the three instances in which it exceeded that number it was 978, 969, and 1,033, and the average Was only 881. This average, when corrected for in crease of population, is 361; compared with which the present return exhibits an excess of 41. A comparison of the last two weeks will show that there is still an unusual mortality amongst persons of tender years, and that though zymotio or epidemics dis eases have declined in their aggregate fatality from 263 deaths to 196, yet in the same period the class which comprises the several diseases of the respiratory organs, exclusive of phthisis and hooping-cough, has risen stem 157 to 176. Pneumonia remains at the same position as in the previous week; bronchitis has increased from 60 to 72; asthma from 3 to 12; while phthisis in the tu bercular class exhibits little variation, having risen from 143 in the previous week to 153 in the last, and it does not appear to be influenced by aggravating causes to the same extent as oth er compla i nts which have become more fatal under their operation. Affections of the respiratory organs generally, at present, show a morta lity considerably above the average. Two deaths were recorded last week, of which intem perance is stated to have been the cause; besides another case in which fatal disease seems to have been the fruit of habitual drinking.
