A translaLion of the lively French opera comique, La Ileine d'un Jour, was produced here last eve Ling, tinder the title of The Queen of a Day. The music, however, is not that of Adolphe Adam. One of the moat promising of our young English composers, Mr. Edward Fitzwilliam, has chosen this as his libretto, and has exhibited such a delicious flow of melody, and such a thorough knowledge of orchestral effects, that we are compelled to say that the music i s super i or, muc h super i or to the libretto. The story of the opera may be summed up litterally in a sentence. A little milliner (Miss 13 . ne), affianced to a Dover sailor (Mr. Harrison), ni passed off by an intriguing cavalier for the affi anced wife of Charles 11., in order to distract the at tention of the still existing Puritan authorities from the real dignitary, who has landed on another part of the coast; the deguiseinent, of course, calling forth the ordinary mystifiations and perplexities common to such cases, leading a ti me - serv i ng o ld l an dl or d kmr• Weiss) to keep alternately turning Royalist 44 ( 1 Republican as the scale seems to incline to either party, an d o f course b ew ild er i ng t h e l over , W ho is not in the secret, and is tormented with all Sorts of doubts and suspicions as to the identity of !, 118 pretend e d Q ueen, a conven i ent announcement o f _ a ‘ne Re3toration, in the nick of time, cutting the Gor dian knot o f all difficulties, whether of politics or love. 414 8 Louisa Pyne acted the little milliner with great spirit and archness, and she sang the florid music of the part with infinite delicacy and taste. Mr. W. orison was exactly suited in some robust ballads, which he sang with great vigour ; and Weiss was, al he always is, artist-like and sensible. The or hestra, under the able guidance Mellon, was all that could be desired. The encores were nume l'°llB) and the success was complete. We sincerely congratulate Mr. Fitzwilliam on the well-deserved fsuccess of this, his first opera, and shall watch his h utare career with interest. We expect from him c reafter great things.

The vessels lying off the Island displayed their hon _ _ day colours, and several of them were furnished with Hands of music, who played some choice music through out the day, and the town band was stationed in the Prince of Wales steamer, who played some favourite overtures. The pier was crowded by a large number of fashion ables, amongst whom were his Grace the Duke of Marl borough, the Earl of Ellesmere, Major Graham, Sir Robert Alexander, Sir H. Lushington, the Honourable Mrs. Villiers, R. Pollock, Esq., Mr. and Mrs. Ainslie Hoare, J. G. Marshall, Lq., M.P. ; the Honourable Mrs. Cunliffe, W.

Clayton, Esq., Captain Greenland, Mr. Bruce and Lady Wray, Colonel Dawkin, the Hon. E. Stephens, &c., &c. The first raca set down on the card was a prize of 100 t, for yachts of all nations, for which the following were entered : Bacchante, 80 tons, Benjamin H. Jones, Esq. Arrow, 84 tons, Thomas Chamberlayne, Esq. Loelia, 75 tons, Twyeden Hodges, Esq. Alarm, 193, tons, Joseph Weld, Esq. Sibilla, 250 tons, James Close, Esq. Cygnet, 35 tons, Hedworth Lambton, Esq. Brilliant, 393 tons, George Holland Ackers, Esq. Heroine, 35 tons, Robert Bell, Esq. Secret, 25 tons, Robert Bell, juo., Esq. Mona, 82 tons, Lord Alfred Paget. The course round the Isle of Wight; outside the Sand Head and No Man Buoys, the Nab Light-ship, and in completing the course all yachts must pass be tween the starting vessel and Ryde Pier. The Sailing Committee, who were on board the Earl of Yarborough steam-yacht, moored off the Pier-head, consisted of the Commodore, the Vice-Commod ore , C apta i n Campbell Lock, R.N., Captain W. Green, Captain George Marshall, RN., Albert J. Hamburgh, Esq. Several vessels from Portsmouth, Cowes, Southamp ton, &c., arrived during the day, and poured into the town several hundreds of persons, a large proportion, no doubt, being drawn to the place from the expected visit of her Majesty. The weather in the early part of the morning was re markably fine, with a strong breez9, but at about 11 o'clock a general lull came on, followed by some smart showers, and in spire of every effort, and the utmost anxiety of the sailing committee, no start until 340 could be obtained, in consequence of the dead calm that prevailed, for the sea most perversely almost presented a glassy surface. However, at the time above named, a gentle bre€ze sprung up from the west, and the com mittee determined upon making a start, under the most untoward appearances, rather than disappoint the nu merous and fashionable company that had assembled to witness the departure. The following vessels appeared at the station:— Bacchante, 80 tons, B. H. Jones, Esq.—Blue, white arrow. Arrow, 84 tons, T. Chamberlayne, Esq. LDelia, 75 tons, T. Hodges, Esq. Alarm, 193 tons, J. Weld, Esq.—No. 8, chequered. Sibilla, 250 tons, J. Close, Mg.—Neapolitan fl ag . Cygnet, 35 tons, H. Lambon, Esq.—Ram's head. Brilliant, 393 tons, G. H. Ackers, Esq.—Red pendant, white cross. Secret, 25 tons, R. Bell, Esq.—Blue and red diagonal. Mona, 82 tons, Lord Alfred Paget.—Red, yellow, blue. At starting, in consequence of the light state of the wind, the small vessels were the first to get under weigh, the heavier yachts moving from their posts with great nifile.olty, End some of them with their balloon jibs flap ping idly in the wind. At Oldcastle Point, nearly op posite Osborne House, the Cygnet was taking the lead by at least a mile; but, of course, at this early period the success of any particular vessel was very problema tical, the course being nearly 70 miles, and en the back of the island great changes of position were anticipated. The match was accompanied by several vessels, with a very crowded company, but in consequence of the lengthy course, they cannot be expected, together with the yachts, until a late hour tomorrow morning, to which period we must defer our report of the timing of the vessels at the various points, with the winner of this valuable prize. The next was a race for Amateur Galleys, first prize, 51. ; second prize, l 31. The following boats were entered . Attempt, George Dashwood—Red and white. Phooka, Star Club of Cowes—Red, white star. Unknown, E. Ratsey—Red. Eclipse, M. Ratsey—Red, white eclipse. Wave, Charles Stevens—Blue. Tile first three were only started, and after some very excellent rowing the prizes were decided as follow: Attempt "' 1 Phooka 2 Unknown In consequence of the entries for the first and second races on Friday not having been complied with at the time specified, the 501. cup is now offered for fore and aft schooners, the property of members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. The 504 prize cup is also offered for cutters, the property of members o f th e R pya l Vic toria Yacht Club, about 75 tons to 105 tons, 0. M. inclusive. Last night there was a grand display of fireworks on the pier, and various other entertainments were pro vided for the numerous visitors. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TUNBRIDGE RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

DEATH FROM FIGHTING NEAR DRIFFIELD.—TWO men, strangers to the locality, but known as Thomas Brock lesby, alias " Shepherd Tom," and " Ginger," had been working some time among the farmers in the neighbourhood of Langtoft, in the East Riding of York. Ginger, it appears, was of a very quarrelsome disposition, andßrocklesby and he met at a public-house on the 4th inst., where they quarrelled, but were parted. Some days afterwards they met in the same place, and Ginger said he would fight anybody in the afterwardsw a upon s hehdi himself, i sat s down room. Brockl es b y accepted the challenge, foug h t severa l h ieW rounds, and i n th e l ast was thrown by Ginger, who f e ll thene a o observed s e e f nr u vs and e e fello refused to t fight b asleep.e frothing any more, About a t t a h n t ew d having om ou hoursth , and quite insensible, and he died on the following evening. An inquest was held upon the body on Friday last, before Mr. E. D. Conyers, when the surgeon who attended the de ceased stated that there were marks of bruises upon his fore head and temples, and that, on making a post mortem exami nation, he found a considerable quantity of extravasated blood corresponding with these external injuries, together with appearances indicating the rupture of a large vessel in the head, which would be quite sufficient to account for death. A verdict of manslaughter was returned against Ginger, who made his escape on learning the fatal result of the fight, and is still at large. Deceased was nearly 50 years old, while Ginger was not more than 25. THE MURDER BY A SHOEMAKER AT MANCHESTER. —James Macnamara was brought up yesterday morning at the Manchester Borough Court for further examination, on the charge of, murdering a man named Ellis, by striking him evidence on the head with a hammer. The was substan tially the same as that given before the coroner, except that Ann Oldfield, the keeper of the pablic-house where the quar rel took place, asserts that deceased struck the prisoner first. This agrees with part of the pri'oner's own statement to the officer who apprehended him. The prisoner was committed for trial at the assizes. Cardinal Antonio Maria Cadolini, Bishop of An cona, died there on the Id ihotaut. THURSDAY EVENING-, At'GUST 14, 1851. 'ARY STATIONS ted Service Magazine for August.)

Captain Charles Graham, C. 8., whose appointment to command the Rodney, Q 9 --, at Portsmouth, we lately announced, entered the navy June 9, 1810, as first-class volunteer on board the Bellona, 74, Captain John Erskine Douglas, stationed in the North Sea, whence, in 1812, he accompanied the same officer to the Mediterranean, as midshipma n of the Prince of ‘Vales, 98. On his rejunction of the latter ship, after having witnessed in the Imperieuse, 38, Captain Hon. henry Duncan, the capture of Porto d'Anzo, and the operations against Leghorn and Genoa, he re turned home and was paid off in July, 1814. Until October 26, 1816, he further served, on the home and Jamaica stations, in the Glasgow, 50, Captain lion. H. Duncan, Romney, 50, Captain Jobn Mackeller, Salisbury, 50, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral J. E. Douglas, Primrose, 18, Captain Charles George itodney Phillott, and Salisbury again, Captain John Mackellar. He then became successively acting-lieutenant, also in the West Indies, of the Ac tive and Pique frigates, Captains Philip Carteret and J. Mackellar; and on July 9, 1817, was confirmed into his former ship, the Primrose, 18, still com manded by Captain Phillott. Having returned to England in August, 1818, on board the Rifleman brig, Captain Norwich Duff, Mr. Graham next joined, September 15, 1819, the Tartar, 42, bearing the broad pendant of Sir George Ralph Collier, on the coast of Africa, and December 14, 1822, and March 11, 1823, the Impregnable, 104, and Bri tannia, 120, as flag-lieutenant to lion. Sir Alexander Cochrane, Commander-in-Chief at Plymouth. In the capacity of commander, a rank he attained April 17, 1824, Capt. Graham was subsequently, June 16, 1829, appointed to the Philomel, 16, on the Mediterranean station. He was promoted to the command, November 4, 1830, of the Rattlesnake, 28, attached to the force in SJuth America, whence he returned home and was paid off November 10, 1833. He has been employed on the East India station since April 28, 1843, as captain of the Castor, 36. In December, 1845, while senior officer of the squadron at New Zealand, he there landed in command of about 340 officers, sea men, and marines, for the purpose of co - operating with a body of troops under Colonel Despard in the reduction of a pah belonging to a rebel chieftain named Kawiti, and situated in a thick forest, on a mountain 14 miles inland from the head of the river Kawakawa. After more than three weeks of inde fatigable labour and exertion, during which the British, notwithstanding great wetness in the weather, were constantly employed in cutting roads through the woods and over the hills of a hitherto untra versed country, in erecting batteries near the pah, in breaching, shelling, and rocketing it, and had, more over, to live under what shelter they could tempo rarily contrive out of the bush, the enemy's strong hold was assaulted and carried in triumph. For this service Captain Graham was nominated a C. 8., July 27, 1846. We regret to state that Commodore Lord John Hay is still confined to his official residence, at Devonport, with no improvement since our last report. He is seriously ill. Buoy boat, Harris master, returned from Falmouth on the 11th. Avon tender was taken out of dock on Tuesday, the 12th, and the Virago taken in the 13th, Wednesday, to have her bottom cleaned. PORTNINIOUTII, WEDNESDAY. - Lieutenant Bruce, studying at the Royrd Naval College, has been ap pointed to the Trafalgar. The Vengeance is fast filling up her complement. Lieutenant Morris is gone to Devonport, and Lieu tenant Grierson to Tower-bill, to enter blue jAekete. Troops for Service Companies. Depots. The following officers passed the college examination on 'Tuesday, namely— For Lieutenants— Messrs. Roche, Collinscn, Pim, Clark, Gooch, Barnes, chimmo, Cowper D'Arcy, C. 11. Johnstone, and Nelson. . For Masters—Mr. W. F. Parsons, J. A. Hall, G. IL Allen, W. D. Strong, R. P. J. Simpson, A. 0. West, I. J. P. liitchfield, and George Gilpin. The Lords of the Admiralty, S.r F. Baring, Ad miral Dundas, Captain Milne Captain Hamilt on , Colonel Greene, Admiral Berkeley, Mr. Cowper, &c., arrived at the dockyard this morning at eleven o'clock, and, accompanied by the admiral's superintendent, Captain Mould, R.E,, Mr. Finchem, Mr. Murray, and Mr. Lambert, proceeded to the chymical depart ment to inspect the model invented by Mr. Hay (for auxiliary screw- vessels) to supersede steam. As the motive power (the galvanic battery) is to supply the place of the boiler the machinery will be very much less cumbersome, occupy very much less space, and be less complicated than the ordinary steam-en gine ; great space will be obtained for provisions, &C., now occupied by the coal bunkers, steam funnel, and casing, &c. Their Lordships felt very much inte rested, and remained a considerable time inspecting the arrangements, end paid much attention to the obser vations made by Mr. Hay, who merely asked their Lordships' permission for trifling alterations to be made in the fly wheel and beam, and stated that nothing more would be worth while doing until the economical battery he had at present under trial had succeeded ; that all battery arrangements brought under his notice had been carefully tested for this purpose, and any others proposed he would willingly submit to the test to ascertain their value as applied to give motive power, which would be attended with very little cost by his power-testing machine. In the battery this morning used the chief consumption was in the seawater infused as one of the elements of the battery arrangements. They next inspected the regu lating and temporary galvanic protectors for ships' cop per, which, although upon the principle of the late Sir H. Davy, by certain improved modifications get rid of the most formidable difficulty that occurred in the use of protectors—the fouling of the ships' sheathing, which on Mr. Hay's modification is avoided. Some experi ments illustrative of the cause of decay in copper sheathing were exhibited to their Lordships. The First Lord, accompanied by the Admiral-Superintendent, next inspected the schools for the shipwright appren tices, and afterwards returned to the central school to examine the pupils. Admiral Dundas and the other Lords proceeded to the muster-office, and one poor fellow (a labourer) was discharged, having been found by Rear-Admiral Berkeley asleep. The Board re-met in a body at the Port-Admiral's at luncheon after the muster, where 2,390 men passed before them, who, on passing muster, were dismissed for the day, as usual on Admiralty visits. Their Lord ships inspect the ropery, the storekeeper's department, &c. After luncheon the Board embarked in their steam-yacht, the Black Eagle, and went out to Spit head to inspect the Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, with which ship we are assured the whole party expressed the highest satisfaction. No manning yards or saluting took place on the occasion. They afterwards took a cruise down the Solent in the Black Eagle, and overhauled from her deck the ap prentices' brig Rolla, Lieutenant Fenwick, com mander. After this the Black Eagle returned to Spithead, and thence into harbour. The Board landed in the Port-Admiral's barge at the Sallyport stairs, went to their hotel to transact business, and then proceeded to the Admiral-Superintendent's to dinner. Her Majesty, in the royal yacht Fairy, accompa nied by the Prince Consort and the Royal children, came up to Ryde at five this afternoon, from Osborne, and honoured the Hyde Royal Victoria Yacht Club with the Royal countenance for some time, much to the delight and amusement of the Royal family. The Odin steam-frigate is ordered to be tempora rily commissioned at this port for the conveyance of the Russian Ambassador to St. Petersburg. Com mander Sir 'William Wiseman, of the Excellent, is to have the command of her. The Devonshire and Alfred Indiamen arrived a Spithead to-day from the Thames. APPOINTMENTS.

At the Guildhall, Rochester, on Tuesday, a case came before the Mayor and the magistrates, which was considered of so serious a character as to be sent to the quarter sessions. It arose out of a fracas at the North Kent Railway station, at Strood, through a corporal and two soldiers, whilst in a state of intox ication, demanding tickets, and on being refused, un sheathing their bayonets and threatening violence to the railway officials. The three prisoners, Edward Dann, corporal of the 64th regiment, and Michael Rourk and John Daug when herty, privates of the 18th, Were placed in the dock, Major Kennedy, of the 18th regiment, addressing the Court, said with regard to Daugherty, he had been twenty-one years in the service, and had only lately returned from India. He had been absent from this country for fourteen years, and the three good conduct badges which he wore would speak of the good character he bore in his regiment. The fact was, on the day in question he came from Gravesend in company with the corporal, and although he might have taken part in the assault complained of, he had not any bayonet. It would of course be for the ma• ,istrates to dispose of the case as they thought fit, but as Daugherty had already been iu gaol four or five days, and taking into consideration his good character, they would perhaps dispose of his case summarily. Mr. Church, in reply, said the railway company could of course have no feeling iu the matter as re• garded the prisoners ; their object was the protection of the public. It was a very grave offence, and he would rather leave it in the hands of those gentlemen who had a local knowledge of the place, more so than those who lived away from it, and he had no doubt they would deal with the case as they best deemed fit. Major Kennedy—l say nothing with regard to the men who drew their bayonets—that is an offence both civil and military. I beg to hand in a certificate of Daugherty's good character. The Mayor, having consulted with his brother Magistrates, directed Daugherty to stand aside for the present, saying that their intention was, supposing the exparte statement which had been made to be borne out, to send the other two men for trial at the session; yy The case was then proceeded with, the prisoners Dann and Rourk being charged with riotous conduct, and with using their bayonets to the danger of the servants of the railway company. Several witnesses were examined, from whose evi dence it appeared that on the evening of the 7th inst. the prisoners arrived in a fly at the station, shortly before eight o'clock, and demanded tickets for their conveyance to Gravesend. The station-master, seeing they were intoxicated, refused them, and after some altercation they went away. About twenty minutes to nine o'clock, at which time the station was filled with passengers waiting to go by the nine o'clock train, the prisoners returned, in a worse state of in toxication, and again demanded tickets, which were again refused. The prisoners thereupon became very violent, creating considerable alarm among those waiting to go by the train, Dann placing himself in a position to prevent them from getting their tickets. Ile then called out " unsheath bayonets—if we can't go by tickets, we will go at the point of the bayonet ;" at the same time drawing his weapon, which he held in a menacing attitude. Rourk fol lowed his example, and with his bayonet made several lunges at William Ireland, one of the company's constables, who had come to quell the disturbance. Considering that his life was in danger, he called to the station-master, who gave him a loaded pistol to defend himself with, which he presented at the prisoners, telling them to keep back and give up their arms, instead of which they became still more violent, and Rourk again approached him with his drawn bayonet, which in each instance he fortunately parried. Tomlin, the head porter at the station, then came up with a constable's staff and knocked one of them down, and after further resist ance they were ultimately overpowered, handcuffed, and taken to the station-house at Rochester. Tbe prisoners, who made no defence, were com mitted for trial at the quartersessions, the magistrates expressing their willingness to accept bail. Daugherty was then charged with an assault, to which he pleaded guilty, and the Court, taking into consideration the statement ma de by Major Kennedy as to his long servitude, inflicted a mitigated penalty of 2/. and 7s. costs, whi ch was immediately p a id , and he was then liberated from custody. informed the other d We were day by a gentleman from the western division of the county that the Duke of Richmond is having all his farms revalued, with the inten tionhie rents on the basis o f w h eat at 101. a loa d. f adjusting t is a very wise step o n th e part o f hi s G r ace, this of a b d e jst and it will go far to convince the farmers that their leaders have abandolaCd 1111 hope of regaielilag protection—Brighton Guardian, REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH. A public dinner took place last night in honour of Mr. Alderman Salomons ,at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Woolwich, Mr. Hoff in the chair. , Aftier the vsual toasts, • Mr.--Rora. proposed the health of Mr. Alderman Salomons. He looped, that though they bad met for the first time, they had not done so for the last, to celebrate the return of their worthy repre:;entative.— (Cheers.) .;,That Mr. Alderman Salomons had done everything that in him lay as an Englishman, as a gentleman, and as a man of pluck (Cheers) —to establish the rights of the constituency, he was satis fied that those whom he addressed would coincide with him in thinking. It was a question with him whether Mr. Alderman Salomons was not a Member of the House of Commons, having sat, voted, and spoken ; and it would be seen that the point of law was a nice one when the Attorney-General and the Soli citor-General went into different lobbies on the divi sions which had taken place on the subject.— (Cheers.) With the health of Mr. Alderman Salo mons he wished to associate that of Mrs. Salomons, expressing the hope that they would enjoy many years of happiness.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman SALOMANS was received with great cheering. He said, if he entertained any doubt as to the character in which he was expected to appear that doubt was entirely removed by tae mode in which his friend in the chair had proposed the toast, and asso ciated Mrs. Salomons with himself. Toe electors of this town, so lately parties to an important election, would hardly expect their Member, he believed, to appear before them immediately after the close of the session of Parliament; he bad not much, at least, to answer for in regard to his political conduct in the House of Commons during the session, and therefore he had no old scores to rub ott—(Cheers and laughter.) Believing their kindness to him was rather intended to show their friendly feeling towards him, and the satisfaction they felt at the course of conduct he had pursued—(Hear)—•in asserting their rights as much as his own in the House of Commons, believing that he appeared rather as their guest in a hospitable sense than as their member in a political cha racter, he should confine his observations to the most limited compass, because he hoped, before the commencement of next session, if it so pleased God, to meet his constituents and have an opportu nity of communing and consulting with them as to the best means of maintaining their constitutional position.—(Loud cheers.) He found it difficult to express all that he felt of the kindness he had received —of the confidence they had been pleased to repose in him ; a confidence which he hoped they would have no reason to regret.—(Cheers.) That difficulty was increased when he saw himself surrounded by so many respectable gentlemen of that town who had done him the honour to give him their suppert. His tongue could not express what his heart felt. He would venture to say that at no period in the modern history of this country had any constituency been so deeply engaged in a constitutional question as the electors of that borough.—(Cheers.) They were much more engaged in a highly constitutional question than they were in one which partook of a religious character.— (Hear.) He took his stand upon that portion of the constitution which was thoroughly Protestant. He appealed to those whom he addressed in the same sense in which a Protestant would. lie appealed on the ground of the right of private judgment.— (Hear, hear.) There was a large constitutional question which they ought to keep always before them.—(Hear.) The common law of this country knew nothing but of the return of a Member of Parlia ment. It was the constituency who gave that Mem ber a title, and by the common law of this country no other title was required of a Member of Parliament to enable him to take his seat in the Commons' House but the return of a constituency.—(Hear, hear.) Cir cumstances, political and religious, bad introduced oaths utterly at variance with the present times, and had imposed penalties in case of failure to take them utterly barbarous and repugnant to the general feel ing. They were aware that he was now able to bring the question forward where justice would be done. He had sat, he had voted, he had spoken ; and, what ever might be the issue, whether he went to the Tower, or was consigned to the cellar of the House of Com mons, or was confined in Newgate as their representa tive, he would never give way. If he had their sup port ,he would never surrender, and they would surely triumph.—(Cheers.) There were potent cir cumstances at work both here and abroad; what they had done was thoroughly and essentially popular. It quite entered into the feelings of the people of this country that there should be nothing i❑ the shape of religious exclusion.—(Cheers.) When people met in company, as on the present occasion, the question as to any one was, whether he was likely to promote good fellowship ? With the House of Commons the only question with respect to a Mem ber was, "Ishe a man of good character ? Can we believe his promises ? Is he a man of intellect and talent ? Is he likely to promote the benefit of the constituent body ?" In the face of Sir R. Inglis and others he contended that the constitution of this coun try was essentially founded on liberty, religious and civil. At a time when the dynasty was in danger, and when religion was also thought in danger, the oaths were taken before the Lord Steward, and before entering the House 20 years before the Reform Bill that was repealed. What was the consequence ? A man took his seat without the oaths and voted for a Speaker. Could they doubt that the Member they had returned was a Member of Parliament by their return ? The House might be divided between two rival Speakers; an Opposition or a Government Speaker might be carried by a majority of one. It was their in terest and that of society at large to bring back the constitution of Parliament, to bring back the privi leges of Parliament to those primitive principles which were intelligible to everybody. He should feel it to be his duty to inform the constituencies of the country, through public meetings, on the ques tion at issue, but not for purposes of agitation, or with the view of exciting religious discussion. He held that he had a right to entertain any religious opinions he thought proper, provided they were not at variance with the public good ; but it was mon strous, in a country so free and civilized as this, that when an individual was returned by the suffrages of a large and enlightened constituency recourse should be had to miserable quibbling for the purpose of in ducing his constituents to get rid of him and appoint one less grateful to the majority, or less acceptable to the borough.—(Hear, hear.) Supported by those whom he addressed, he would not be got rid of. He was as nothing in a contest which would have a place in the history of England ; but all his powers and energies should be devoted to the service of his con stituents ; and, confiding in their support, whatever sufferings he might have to endure would be borne with smiles.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman con cluded by again returning his thanks for the honour conferred on him, and expressing his desire to respond to the friendly feeling shown towards bim by offering his hosts the hospitality of a man of Kent.—(Cheers.) After several other toasts the meeting separated. It only remains to add that the dinner was excellent. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. Accustomed as we are to note down the sayings of men in arts, politics, and science, and fatiguing as that duty is when " words, mere words," reward our ' careful ears, we cannot say that fatigue or ennui have ever been our portion at this sterling establishment, devoted to the promulgation o f c h eap knowledge. ' We have already recorded t wo of Mr. J. IL P ep - pers interesting lectures on the jewels and crystals of the Great Exhibition, and we find ourselves still attending with pleasure a third di scourse on the same subject, viz., on the emerald, the beryl, the amethyst, opal, onyx, cornelian, and agate, of which sand, or what the chemists term silicic acid, is the chief ingredient. We have seen the various domestic uses of sand, we know that sand enters largely into the composition of glass, but were not prepared to see it tortured by chemical means into a transparent liquid by a combination with excess of alkali, or to appreciate it in the gaseous and invisible state by its union with fluorine; but as change, incessant change, seems to be a law in chemistry, and the retort and alembic still work their wonders, surprise, of course, is out of the question. And here justice compels us to state that our present report is incomplete, because we cannot create on pap e r th ose experiments which take one so easily through a chemical lecture. Suf fice it to say, that we believed ourselves perfect savans whilst Mr. Pepper proceeded with his delicate and careful manipulations, and were convinced th a t th ese lectures do infinite good, because their numerou s ex periments (like pictures in a book), induce a n d f orce the mind to read in order to understand them. We observed that the audience retired, lik e ourse l ves , pleased with the professor s very interesting and con cluding lecture on the jewels. 1 VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The Royal Gardens at Vauxhall presented a spectacle of unusual brilliancy and at traction yesterday evening, on the occasion of a benefit to Mr. Wardell, the director of the establishment.

P request i ng them to ATTEMPTED _MURDER A2' /PS 57CH. On Tuesday evening last the inhebitants of the towe.of Ipswich were much alarmed on hearing that a young woman, nine;:een yeers of age, peeled Martha l‘f J yse, had been murdered b y an old man named James -Wailing, lately distni3sed from her 'Majesty's navy. The parties had for some time past been living to gether as man and wife, and the only motive assigned for the attempt at the crime is alleged to have arisen from jealousy on the part of the old man. The wounds inflicted upon the wretched young woman turn out to be not so serious as at first represented, and hopes are entertained of her ultimate recovery. Wail ing destroyed himself shortly after. On Wednesday an inquest was held on the body of James Wailing at the Feathers Inn, St. Matthews, before M r . S. B. Jackaman, when lengthened evi dence was ailuced touching the cause of deceased's death, and the attack by hini upon Martha Moyse. 'elle deceased, James Wailing, up to May last was in her Majesty's navy, at which time he was discharged with a pension of 9.5. per week. Having a maiden sister residing in Ipswich, he had determined (being nearly sixty years cle) to spend the remainder of his life with her, and for that purpose he, on leaving the service, in which he had be en engage d f or upwar ds of thirty years, came to this town, with a purse containing upwards of 60/. He and his sister lived in apparent happiness and comfort together till within five or six weeks ae ° o,` . at which time: Wailing met with th e y ou ng woman, Martha Moyse, who was induced by th e o ld man, who had made her several handsome presents, to live with him as his wife. The house of Wailing's maiden sister was be no means a commodious one, for it consisted of but two rooms—a bed-room, in which were two beds, and a sitting-room. The unfortunate girl had, up to Sunday flight last, for five or six weeks past, shared one of these beds with Wailing, his sister occupying the other. Be tween four and five o'clock on Tuesday Wailing said to his sister, " Go and tell Martha I want to speak to her." Martha Moyse being at the house of 1 neighbour the old woman went, and told her she was wanted by her brother. Both of them went to Wail ing's house, where he was seated in an armchair. On their entering he looked very angry, and said to his sister, " Do you go out, and let Martha stay with me." The old woman left as desired, but she had not proceeded further than four yards from the house when she heard Martha screaming frightfully. She instantly retraced her steps to ascertain the cause of her cries, and was met by M ar th a Moyse at the doorway, who was running away from the old man, her face, hands, and the forepart of her dress being covered with blood. Wailing was undoubtedly pursuing his intended victim, for, as his sister entered the doorway, she received a heavy blow on the face from the hand of her brother, and an incised wound upon her hand from some sharp instrument, while endeavouring to parry th e blow aimed at her. Wailing losing sight of the girl, who had fled fur refuge in the house of a neighbour, and his sister presenting herself at the door, be run back into his own house. The poor old woman, fearing him, also fled for protection into the house adjoining. The cries of "Murder" raised by the neighbours soon brought together several per sons, not one of whom durst enter the room in which Wailing was, or even go near the house. At last a butcher named Henry Treater went up to the door and asked Wailing what he had been doing, at the same time calling upon those assembled to go with him into the house. Not one of them dared accom pany him, and at length he went up to the door, opened it, and spoke to Wailing, who replied, " I have done her business, and I will soon do mine." At the very moment he made that assertion Trenter saw him lift up both hands to his throat, and they as quickly dropped down to the sides of his body. Wailing was then seen to come to the front door with blood spurting from a severe gash he had in flicted in his throat. It was afterwards discovered that the :wound was eight inches long, extending from ear to ear, dividing the jugular vein and the common carotid artery. Wailing after throwing out into the roadway twc razors, one of which was covered with blood, cried out " Thank God, I have done the business. Now you can take and hang me if you like, or, if you choose, you can send for a po liceman. I have done what I meant to do, but I want to do more to her and myself too." He then walked towards the fireplace, in front of which her down exhausted. Mr. G. Sampson, surgeon, and his assistant, were soon on the spot, dividing their atten tion between the young woman and the old man. But the wound inflicted on the old man's throat was so effective that all human aid was useless, and\ he died three hours after. The face of the miserable girl, Martha Moyse, presented a frightful gash under neath the left lower jaw, but providentially no vital parts had been touched. Her hands, in defending the attacks of Wailing, were severely cut in several parts ; three of her fingers were nearly severed from her hand. At the request of the jury an adjournment was ordered to take place, in order that she might give evidence, which it is expected she will be enabled to do in the course of three or four days. Notwithstanding that the deceased had been drink ing, all the witnesses examined agreed in opinion that he knew perfectly well what he was about, and the only cause assigned for the acts he had committed was jealousy. It was stated that Martha Moyse, after having obtained from the deceased a large sum of money, absented herself from his house, and that she was about leaving the town with another man. Money amounting to 271. was found by the police in deceased's house. NEW BATTERSEA BRIDGE. This bridge will open to the populous districts of Clapham, Brixton, and the vicinity a much shorter approach to the parks and to the whole west-end of London than they possess at present, and will form a very important part of the desirable project of em banking the Thames and enclosing a park for public recreation at Battersea. The works of the proposed bridge may appear to the uninitiated to have been standing still for some time past, but now the piers fairly show themselves above low water, and four towering pile-engin6 mounted over each pier plainly indicate the intention of rapid progress. The bridge will occupy a nearly central position between Batter sea and Vauxhall bridges, and will cross the river from near the entrance of the Grosvenor Canal, at the eastern end of Chelsea Hospital grounds to the wes tern side of the Red House, Battersea. It is to be a suspension bridge, with two piers so near low water mark as not to obstruct the navigation, and one wide bay or opening spanning nearly the full breadth of the river. The width of the bridge from out to out is to be 45 feet, with a carriage way of 30 feet, and a footpath on each side. In connexion with the bridge, a new piece of street is to be made to join Sloane -street, so that the communication will then be perfect towards Knightsbridge, Kensington, and all the surrounding district. There is a peculiarity in the mode of con structing this bridge which deserves notice for the boldness and novelty of the design, and which, if successful, will confer great credit on the originator. The piers, instead of being founded within a coffer. dam, and built up of regular masonry, are composed of concrete, surrounded and protected on all sides by' a substantial casing of cast-iron. Thus no coffer dam is required, and the engineer calculates that be will be able to carry up his piers to the height of seven feet above high water for the same sum that)! coffer-dam would have cost under the old system. ; 1 1 this mode of founding works in tidal rivers shottLa prove successful, it will be a highly important _I g P I.:: hydraulic engineering.
