visited us, may yet again break over our heads, and that the best preparation for a continuance of peace is the ability to resist unjust -eggressioa.—(Lond cries of t • Hear, hear.") Wnatever occasion may arise I fear not—l doubt not—that the army and navy of England will always be found ready to maintain the honour and interests of that country in every clime and cir cumstance.—(Loud cheers.) Captain Camenaaa briefly returned thanks for the army and navy. The Lord Mayor of YORK then rose to propose " The Health of the Lord Mayor of London." He said— Some centuries have elapsed since the Lords Presidents of the North held their court in the now mouldering halls which adjoin the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey; and with the exception of some slight reminiscences in an adjoining chamber of the reception which was prepared for "Bonnie Prince Charlie," I have searched in vain the records of our city for traces of a visit so interest kg as we are favoured with to-day.—(Cheers.) The Chief Magistrate of the first commercial city in the world visits the ancient metropolis of the north— (Cheer)--and although we can only give his Lordship " a country cousin's welcome," that welcome is heartily and cordially proffered.— (Great cheering.) His civic sun is about to set, and tneugh it is too often the re proach of human nature that we worship only the rising of the meridian sun, we are happy on this occa sion to welcome the departing " orb ut day "—(Hear, hear)—and take this opportunity of uttering a cordial acknowledgment of his munificent hospitality, and anxious desire to fulfil every duty of his high and im portant office. The toast was received with very great cheering in air parts of the hall. The Lord Mayor of LONDON said,—l cannot but feel much flattered by the very kind manner in which you have proposed my name to the present assembly; and allow me to take this opportunity of thanking you for those costly and magnificent preparations which were made for my reception in York, and the cordial welcome v.lnch has been insured to me from your fellow-citizens. May it please your Royal Highness, my Lords, and gen tlemen, I assure you that when I had the honour of en tamping, in March last, your Royal Highness and the chief municipal officers of the kingdom in the city of London, I had no idea of receiving so immediate a re ward. I proposed that gathering of municipal authori ties to meet your Royal Highness principally from the firm conviction that such a meeting, under the auspices of the chief magistrate of the city of London, would do much to forward the grand scheme which your Royal Hiahness originated—the great Exhibition of the In. dustry of all Nations in 1851. In entertaining your Roya Highness under those circumstances, I was glad to avai myself of an opportunity thus afforded me of manifest. ing, on behalf of the city of London, our warm attach. ment to the throne, and also showing the usefulness of oar venerable - municipal institutions. The high respect raid this day to the office which I hold, and your kind ness to me personally, would amply repay me, if such were sought for, but I shall have a fuller satisfaction if I feel that I have aided in the least that design which is calculated to benefit so greatly my fellow-citizens, our ceuetry, and the world.—(Loud cheers.) The Lord Mayor of YORK. next rose to propose, " The Health of Lord John Russell and her Majesty's Minis terse" and said,—My Lords and Gentlemen—Were we passengers on board some noble ship, traversing the wide Atlantic, whilst the breezes blew and the billows swelled around us whilst the stately masts strained end quivered in the gale—whilst here and there the ligntning's flash showed some mighty hull dismasted and rolling rudderless upon the waste of waters, we should at least when the gale abated, and we were sail ing in • comparatively smooth waters—(Hear, hear) — be thankful to the captain and the crew who had kept the deck during the storm, and done their best to pilot the ship through—(Cheers)—though we might differ about a point or two in her course, or think it would have been better' to take in or let out a reef or two more in ter sails.—(Hear.) I propose now to give you "the health of Lord John Russell and her Majesty's Minis ters "—(Cheers)—of men who have done their best to fulfil their arduous and important duties—(Hear, hear) —and I am sure have the good of their country at heart, whatever difference of opinion may exist as to She best mode of effecting it.—(Renewed cheers.) Lord JOHN . RUSSELL, on rising to return thanks for the toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers," was very loudly cheered. ills Lordship seid—l rise for the pur pose of returning the most grateful thanks of her Ma jesty's ministers for the honour which you have done them in drinleing their healthy. I certainly will not en ter (it would be the worst taste if I were to do su) into any political topic -upon this occasion; and I am happy to teink that if the conduct of her Majesty's Ministers is attacked, we have two Yorkshiremen in the Cabinet who will be ready to defend it its this county.—(A laugh.) The citizens of London have been apt to think that, in point of civic hospitality, our Lord Mayor is above till othercorporations, but I must own - that you have this day given us reason to apprehend rivalry, and I think the future Lord Mayors of London must look to their laurels that we may not lose our reputation fur hospita lity and munificence.—(Cheers.) I feel that, on this occasion, we have to consider what hopes we have of the success of the Exhibition of 1851, and I cannot but think that it is of good augury for that exhibition that so many of the chief magistrates or the cities and towns of this kingdom should heve invited his Royal Highness and the Lord Mayor oF Landon here, on purpose to express their wishes that the exhibition may succeed and prosperi—(Cheers)—because I cannot forget that the chief magic:aka of our municipal towns and cor porations are not like those in souse other countries, the creatures of the Ex.?cutive Government, but that they come from the popular hear.) They are the chosen of popular ejection—(Hear)—and chosen be cause they are believed to have tee capacity, along whh the councils which are associated with them, of pre serving the pate?, of providing for the security, anu of taking care of the health of the cities and towns in trusted to their charge.—(Hear, hear.) I say, there fore, that the mayors and chief municipal magis trates of this king cam represent not merely their oven views, but represent one of the most velusble parts of the institutions of this country; that, like those below them and these above them—like the vestry of the smallest parish, tuld like the Commons' House of Par liament—they derive their strength and their force from their origin iu the popular will, any the enjoyment of popular confidence.—(Hear.) And now, my Lords and gentlemen, let me say that I partake with those who have spokes In hopes of the brightest kind for the ex hibition of next year. Ido so because I think that there are not direct, but many colateral, benefits which are likely to arise from this project—(Hear, hsar)—and let us consider that we are now about to try what can be effected by the arts of peace. Thirty-five years ago the nations of Europe were emerging from a dreadful, a costly, and a sangui nary war, in the course of which war the va rious natters of Europe exhibited—let it be confessed—let it ever be gloried in—exhibited all the virtues which aro required in war— courage and hardihood in enterprise, fortitude in enduring submission for the sake of their independence to the greatest and most paiefal sacrifice. They did all this because, whether wisely or unwisely entered upon, netienal indep twat the object—a Dr:Z3 fir which every t ffort should ha made.—(ilear ) If the eatious of Europe then exOibitid, we may say, with scarcely an exception, the virtues which h- song to war, I think that itter so many years of peace it is now for us to shew that th-re are advantages which can be gaicad from peeee—(hear) —that there are virtues which belong to tahtee.—(ilieir, hear.) I unit iu the allibitien of next Velar we ehall show teet we (ee promote the comforts, that we earl enlarge the knowledee, that we can streng±en the kindly affections of mankind towards each ocher—(hear, hear)—and thus produce effects which, great as those virtues were which were shown in war, t• tit te far more profitable to the world in general, and more consonant with those lessons which we learn trom religion and from morals. I trust, therefore; we shall allow Rot only that peace has her victories as well as war, but that those victories, while they have as bright, have a fer purer glory than any that can be attained by combat and destruction of human life.—(Cheers.) I thick if we see that resula not only this country, but the nations of the world will have reason to be grate fal to that Prince who formed this project, who has persevered in it against all opposition—(flear, hear) — who is about to reap the reward of his exertions (Cheers)—attended with no benefit but much labour to himself—(Hear. hear)—but undertaken with views of benevolence and love for the interests of mankind. Earl FITZWILLIA.M, in giviug the toast of the " Royal Commissionera and the Exhibition of 1851," expressed his delight in believing that the Prince was not merely the ostensible patron, but the real author if this great scheme.—(Cheers) The Noble Earl observed that he looked upon this scheme as likely to turn the thoughts, not of this country only, but of ail nations, to an emula lotion by which humanity was to be improved and ad vanced —(Hear, hear) to adopt the description of the poet-- In this small seminal principle there was an enfolded latitude of bough, under the shade of which, when expanded, might repose the industry of nations yet unborn."—(Hear.) He would add that the great variety in the weights and measures and coins of civi lized nations was an inconvenience worthy the serious consideration of all engaged in advancing this great scheme; and though it had been most wisely determined not to give prizes for the articles exhibited on this great occasion, he could have wished there had been one ex ception, and that a prize were offered for the best essay oa this subject.—(Hear.) Earl GRANVILLE, in acknowledging the toast, ex pressed his satisfaction that it had been proposed by one who gave proof. that he did not merely wish to pa an o empty compliment, but h a d we ll re fl ecte i upon the y go d results which might fl ow f rom th i s and succeedine - ex hibitions. Earl Gra nv ill e a dd e d— l may, perhaps, ,lee allowed to add that, from havi ng b een lately arßel gium and Germany, I can testify to the very general interest and feeling shown in those countries upon the subject.—(Hear, hear.) I found it a general subject of conversation among all classes, and nothing was shown but a feeling of goodwill and hope o f i ts btleCk ss.—(Hear.) I happened accidentally to say to a gentleman talking upon the subject that tome anxiety was naturally felt as to the perfect success of the under taking, owing to our comparative inexperience compared with foreign nations of exhibitions on a scale of this sera His answer was that there could not be a doubt that the practical genius of Englishmen would carry such an undertaking to a successful issue.—(lear, hear.) I think we must-feel that this confidence, not only shown by en accidental speech, but the anxiety of all manufac turers of Europe to exhibit—the demands from foreign T' e s nations for greater space than the Commissioners are '. 7- WiTe - e h ta‘aale to allot—do throw a very heavy responsibility upon alkehose who have co-operated to carry on this under t Ming.—(Hear, hear.) The Royal Commissioners, ani mated by the example of his Royal Highness and the eealolia support given to them in the couutiy, have not shrunk from that responsibility.—(He ar ' hear.) They have met with difficulties; they have been in financial - " fritheulties; at one moment they were very nearly li,e -' • - ' A THE SUN, rally having the ground cut from under their feet— (Loud cheers)—but so far from complaining of the opposition they have met upon several points, I think there has hardly been so much as might have been reasonably expected, and that without the stimulus which seems so necessary to all great undertakings in this country, we should not have succeeded as well as we are doing. Here I will add that when I last saw the contractor he stated that the magnificent erection de signed by Mr. Paxton would be completed by the time it was required.—(Cheers.) The Noble Earl concluded with announcing a meeting rext morning of those mayors who could remain to confer with the Commis sioners upon practical difficulties which had arisen. The next toast, " The House of Lords," was proposed by the Lord Mayor of YORK, and briefly responded to by the Marquis of CLANRICARDE. The toast of " The House of Commons" followed, and was acknowledged by Mr. E. B. DErasost. The Earl of CARLISLE, in proposing " The Health of the Lord Mayor of York, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and the Mayors present," said—lt is in deed an interesting and most suggestive sight to see the chief magistrates of so many communities, re presenting almost every branch of employment, every variety of opinion, no longer separated even by the borders which formerly divided ancient counties, assembled together as our guests in one central place, thus showing bow in our happy polity the most distinct local governments can, when required, put forth all the energy of the most determined centralization—(Hear, hear)—upon an occasion whose marked and distinguish ing feature is to do honour to human industry.—(Hear, hear.) This would not be the proper season, lam sure you will all feel, for entering upon the history or the merits of municipal institutions; but it is something to be permitted to borrow a brief recollection from the place in which we may be, and to mix the business of the present associations with the past. You, my Lord Mayor, have reminded me that York in former times received presidents and princes. We might go still further back, for this ancient city witnessed the death of one, and probably the birth of another Roman Ens peror—it gave a grave to Severus, possibly a cradle to Constantine.—(Hear, hear.) We this night see it receiving in the same ancient halls a princely person, at once the subject and the lord the duteous subject and the gentle lord —of her who rules •an empire wider than ever submittted to Ro man power, or was known to Roman science. —(Loud cheers.) Bat the days when York would have received the wearers of the Roman purple were days of declining empire, of decaying knowledge, of departing art.—(Loud cheers.) Ido not wish to use the language of undue compliment or unreasonable expectation, but may not he who has taken the foremost share in origi nating this great enterprise—may not all of you who have contributed to its effectual promotion, indulge the hope that you are giving a new impulse to civilization— (Hear, hear, and cheers)—that you are bestowing an ad ditional reward upon industry—(Hear, hear)—that you are supplying a fresh guarantee to the harmony of nations?—(Cheers.) Yes, my Lords, the nations are stirring at our call, but it's not to the trumpet sound of battle, or to the shout of homicide triumphs, but we are summoning them to the peaceful field of a nobler compe tition—(Hear, hear)—not built upon the superiority and predominance of one country and the depression and prostration of another, but all may strive which can do most to embellish, to improve, and to elevate their common humanity.—(Cheers.) This is a contest which I feel to be worthy of a civilized epoch—of the throne and people—of the Christian era; and it is because I feel confident that the heads of the municipalities of this country have done very much to promote the success of an undertaking of which the design is thus laud able, and of which the results may be so glorious, that I ask you to receive in the manner which befits it the health of our public-spirited and liberal entertainer, the Lord Mayor of York, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and the Mayors who have honoured the banquet with their presence, and the municipal institutions of the country.—(Much cheering.) The Lord Mayor of YORK briefly acknowledged the toast amidst great applause. The Lord Provost of EDINBURGH offered the sincere thanks of the municipal authorities of Scotland ; and be would not venture to say of Scotland that it had done much as yet for this great exhibition, but when the proper time came the Scotchnien would be found at their posts. They were very slow to move, and exceedingly anxious to see both sides of the shilling before they accepted it —(Laughter)—but having once made up their minds, they would be found not only doing all they could to forward the great exhibition, but among the specimens they would produce some at least which would deserve the approbation of more Commissioners than their own.—(Hear, hear.) The last time a Lord Provost of Edinburgh crossed the Tweed, he was asked to do so by his Lordship with the official in signia; it was at the head of a thousand of the burghers of Edinburgh to meet the English in the unfor tunate field of Flodden. He (the Lord Provost) wished the Scotch had had the good sense to stay at home— (Leughter)—for they not only lost a king and a crown, but some 400 or 500 of the best of the burghers.— (Laughter.) Ou the present occasion they had crossed the Tweed to meet the most amiable of Princes, and not to fight against him, but with him.—(Hear, hear.) If ho wished for 1,000 of the burghers of Edinburgh to assist in London in keeping the peace, or in any other way in which he might choose to.employ them, ho (the Lord Provost) begged to offer his humble services with those of his feilows.—(Laughter and cheers.) The Mayor of Coax also acknowledged the toast. The to is of " The Lord Lieutenant of the Three Ridings," The Working Classes," "The County Ma gistracy," " The Magistrates of the Borough," and " The Lady Mayoress," followed, and it was midnight when the Prince left the table. As at present arranged, his Royal Highness will leave York at eight o'clock in the morning on his return to Os borne. There was a grand concert and a ball in the Greg Assembly-room. York was brilliantly illuminated. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, OCT. 25.

What would have been thought of this even 30 years ago? The Consort of our Queen to leave his palace in the Isle of Wight in the morning to honour a dinner party at York in the afternoon! DEPARTURE of PRINCE ALBERT for YORK. UTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.—his Royal Highness Prince Albeit, attended by Colonels Grey and Seymour, arrived ifi tF e Fairy yacht this morning at nine o'clock, en route for York, to he presi,nt at the grand banquet to be given by the Lord Mayor of that City this evening. The state railway travelling czrriage Iva-. brought into the docks for the accommodation of his Royal Highness, who, on landing was leceiVed by Mr. Stovin on th e p a rt o f the London and Sstuth-Western Railway Company; Mr. Sa:ntsbury, on the part of the Dock Company, and by , other official gentlemen. The special train shortly after wards started for London, piloted by Mr. Beattie, prin cipal of the locomotive department, accompanied by Mr. S:ovin. The visit being merely a casual one, and not generally known, the only demonstration mad© to wel come his Royal Highness was the display of colours by the Royal Mail and Peninsular and Oriental Steam Com panies. The train accomplished the distance from Southamp• Vn to Waterloo in one hour and thre3- quarters, Hie Royal Highness will, it is expected, arrive here from London to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock, the Fairy having been ordered to be in attendance at that hour. PRINCE ALBERT'S ViSIT TO YORK. Ms Royal Highness left Euston-square yesterday morning, by special train, fur York. The royal train left ihe terminus at 11.23, and reached Rugby (83 miles) at 12.59, having gone the distance, therefore, in 1 hour and 33 minutes. This includes the loss of three minutes while taking in water at Leighton, the slackening of speed while running through the Bletchley, Wolverton, and Blisworth stations, and round the sharp curve near the Crick station. Taking these facts into considera tion, and the time necessarily occupied in taking the first mile up the Euston incline—a very heavy one—the running speed must have been nEarly 60 miles per hour. Mr. M'Connell, the locomotive superintendent of the southern division of the London and North-Western line, drove the engine from the Euston terminus to Rugby. _ _ A stoppage of three minutes took place at Rugby. His Royal Highness left Rugby at 1.2 o'clock, and ar rived at York at 3.54. The whole journey was conse quently performed in 4 hours and 31 minutes. THE LATE BURGLARY AND OUTRAGE AT BIRMING 11131.—The two prisoners, Christopher Healey and Joseph Marshall, charged with the burglary and atrocious outrage at the house of Mr. Marston, were brought up for final ex amination, before Dr. Melson and Mr. Charles Shaw, borough magistrates, at the public office yesterday (Friday) morning. Mr. Tyndal, as before, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. J. Harding appeared for the prisoners. Mr. Tyndal stated that he should be enabled to show, if required at that stage of the proceedings, that the servant girl was correct in stating that they were together on her master's premises the Thursday previous to the burglary; that the hat found between the roof and ceiling of the house belonged to Healey; that the same prisoner, about ten o'clock on the morning of the rob bory (the burglary having been committed at four) pur cha,ed another hat ; that on the same day both prisoners were in th e same hatter's shop in company; and that Mar h naa ll wh t ear w te • h pb i u c or l a tchh was broken found o n t t e eh n atiiery r e p p ao a ns iie st d hs i . eo no T , na h en e rde n p e a Nv i for r c a o l m l n a r b s d a h wouldr repaireda be produced. The evidence of the hatters was accordingly taken, and the prisoners were fully committed to take their trial at the next assizes for the county of Warwick. The poker said to have been used by Marshall in his attack upon Mr. Marston lay bent and stained with blood upon the table of the court. ANOTHER. BURGLARY IN TUB STRAND.—On Thursday night another daring robbery took place on the premises of Messrs. Ayckburn and Co., the patent waterproof clothiers and swimming-belt manufacturers, 129, Strand. It is supposed that an entrance was effected into the warehouse daring the night, and a great quantity of waterproof coats, capes. &c., carried off. Information was on Friday morning, on the discovery of the robbery, sent to the Police Commis sioners in Scotland-yard. and active measures are being taken for the detection of the thieves. A reward has been offered for the recovery of the property and conviction of the burglars. ROYAL PRINCESS'S THEATRE, OXFORD-STREET.

Actuated by a noble spirit of emulation, the Lord Mayor of the northern capital endeavoured yesterday to vie with, or at any rate to respond to, the munificent hospitality shown towards his own and the rest of the provincial munici pilities by the Lord Mayor of LONDON. Hayi ng b een welcomed, not very long since, to the sumptuous banquet of the chief magistrate of the metropolis, it was but nataral that these representatives of the principal towns and cities of England should be solicitous, if possible, to reciprocate, at least in some measure, the evidences of goodwill given in anticipation of next year's Exhibition of Industry. This anxiety has been now h a ppily alleviat e d— t h e Lord Mayor of YORK having bad the distinguished honour not only of receiving to his board the head of the metropolitan Municipality, but the illustrious originator of the whole project, the august CONSORT of our SOVEREIGN. Yesterday evening, to employ the graceful language of the Earl of CARLISLE, the people of York saw their venerable and historic city " receiving within its ancient walls the princely person, at once the subject and the gentle lord of that fair hand which rules an empire wider than ever submitted to Roman power, or was ever known to Roman science !" In graciously consent ing to accept these hospitalities of the:provincial Mayors of England, represented by the principal magis trate of the chief city of Yorkshire, his Royal High ness gave another and brilliant evidence of his regard to the interests of the general community. For the mere circumstance of a Royal Prince having par-. ticipated in an entertainment like that of yesterday, with a view to sustain the fraternal and energetic enthusiasm already evinced in behalf of the Exhi. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING -1 OCTOBER 26, 1850. NEW LIFE OF TASSO. Now ready, in 2 vols., 21s. bound, REV. R. MIL MAN'S LIFE OF TASSO. (From the " Edinburgh Review," just published.) " Mr. Milman's book has considerable merit. He has evidently in his interesting biography of Tasso undertaken a labour of love. His diligence has been great, his materials are copious and well-arranged, and his sketches of the poet's contemporaries form agreeable episodes in the narrative of Tasso's works and woes."—Edinburgh Review.

These proceedings will, for in stance, exercise a beneficial influence over the inter course of the various classes of the population, uniting them together more firmly than hitherto in the bonds of sympathy and friendship, inspiring them with a keener sense of their mutual relation to each other, and filling them with a solicitude to advance by every means in their power the blessed labours of a peaceful civiliz Frequently as Prince ALBERT has already evinced the capacities of his large and cultivated intellect, often as his Royal Highness has betrayed the amiable suavity of his disposition, he has never done either the one or the other more agreeably than in the eloquent sentiments which fell from his lips yesterday. The oration in which he responded to the toast proposed by the Lord Mayor of YORK to the health of the PRINCE CONSORT will go far, we are satisfied, to en hance his already wide and enviable popularity. Not only in the happy sentences which constituted its framework, but in the generous feelings which were at once its undercurrent and its inspira tion, that speech is entitled to a very peculiar and emphatic commendation. It reveals most conspicu ously the intelligence with which the illustrious orator watches the development of the energies of England, and displays, moreover, in addition to this, the truthfulness with which its welfare is made the object of his most earnest aspirations. Perhaps the portion of this harangue which will excite the largest share of attention throughout the country is one, however, merely incidental in its character. We mean the allusion made by Prince ALBERT to the abrupt and melancholy disappearance of that illustrious member of the Commission, whose sudden death is yet lamented by all citizens of the empire as a national calamity. Incidental as this re ference was at its commencement, it gradually assumed to itself, in the emphatic words of the PRINCE CONSORT, the tone of a funereal pane gyric. So admirable, indeed, is the eulogium in all particulars, that we eagerly transfer it to our leading columns as the posthumous homage paid to the de. parted statesman by the CONSORT of our So- VEREIGN. " There is but one alloy," said his Royal Highness "to my feelings of satisfaction and pleasure in seeing you here assembled again ; and that is the painful remembrance that one is missing from amongst us—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear") —who felt so warm an interest in our scheme, and took so active a part in promoting its success ; the last act of whose public life was attending at the Royal Commission ; the admiration for whose talents and character, and the gratitude for whose de votion to the QUEEN and private friend ship towards myself, I feel a consolation in having this public opportunity to express. —(Hear, hear.) Only at our last meeting, we were still admiring his eloquence, and the earnestness with which he appealed to you to uphold by your exertions and personal sacrifices what was to him the highest object, the honour of his country (Cheers)—he met you the following day, together with other com missioners, to confer with you upon the details of our undertaking, and you must have been struck, as everybody has been who has had the benefit of his advice upon practical points, with the attention, care, and sagacity with which he treated the minutest details, proving that, to a great mind, nothing is little—(Loud cheering)— from the knowledge that, in the moral and intellectual as in the physical world, the smallest point is only a link in the chain, and holds its appointed place in that great whole which is governed by the Divine wis dom.—(Cheers.) The constitution of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S mind was peculiarly that of a statesman, and of an English statesman.—(Loud cheers.) He was liberal from feeling, but conservative upon principle. —(Renewed cheering.) Whilst his impulse drove him to foster progress, his sagacious mind and great experience showed him how easily the whole machinery of a state, and of society, is deranged—(Hear, hear)—and how important, but how difficult, also, it is to direct its further deve lopment in accordance with its fundamental prin. ciples, like organic growth in nature.—(Cheers.) It was peculiar to him that in great things as in small, all the difficulties and objections occurred to him first. —(Hear.) He would anxiously consider them, pause, and warn against rash resolutions ; but having con vinced himself, after long and careful investigation, that a step was not only right to be taken, but of the practical mode also of safely taking it, it became to him a necessity and a duty to take it.—(Cheers.) All his caution and apparent timidity changed into courage and power of action, and, at the same time readiness to make any personal sacrifice which its execution might demand.—(Prolonged cheering.)" From this tribute of regard and admiration to the memory of Sir ROBERT PEEL, Prince ALBERT re verted to the subject of the approaching contest be tween the commerce and the industry of the various nations of the four continents. It will be observed with pleasure by all the well-wishers of the Exhibition, that hi s Royal Highness augurs well for the success of that great spectacle from the progress already made in the way of its development. So far from any in difference having been displayed in any quarters, as some have endeavoured most unfairly to inti mate, it would appear from the express declaration of the PRINCE CONSORT that, both at ht me and abroad, the different competitors have shown them selves most zealous, active, and energetic. Another admirable portion of the speech delivered m yesterday notterday beevenainllgowedby to hispassito unnoticed--vie Highness otieed—we mean that in which he took occasion to commend the large and comprehensive liberty secured to all the citizens of England by her Constitution. " Taking this view of the character of our country," said the PRINCE, " I was pleased when I saw the plan of the Exhibition of 1551 undergo its ordeal of doubt, discussion, and even opposition." The remark was a graceful response to the many virulent attacks levelled against the whole project, and of all others was about the best calculated to disarm the fury of its antagonists. Such observations as these having been elicited by the festivities of yesterday, it mus t be sufficiently apparent that we had reason at the outset of our commentaries to felicitate the provinces at large, and the city of York especially, on an occasion so creditable to all parties concerned in it, and so directly calculated to advance the interests of the community, both social and commercial. We are rejoiced to find that the gauntlet thrown down by the POPE to the Protestants of all sects and denominations, subjects of her Majesty the QUEEN of these realms, has been so promptly taken up. The Pro testant clergy of Westminster, who at their ordination declared that the " Bishop of Rome bath no jurisdic tion in this realm of England," have come forward to vindicate the rights of the Church and of the country, whioh have been wantonly assailed by the nomination on the part of the POPE of a Romish ecclesiastic to the title of Archbishop of an English city, and by th e illegal attempt on the part of the Court of Ro me to organize a new territorial division of this realm. Th e impudent-nature of this assumption of power, wh en compared Ns ith the utter impotence of him who as sumes it, appears at first sight so absurd, that many persons have considered the whole affair as too ridicu lous to be entitled to serious attention ; but to such persons we would remark, that this assump tion of power on the part of the POPE must not he considered as an isolated act, but as one of a series of acts, and that this Papal Bull must be read in conjunction with the acts and deeds of the ultra montane party not only in this country but through out: Europe, and so read, it is impossible not to come to the conviction that this is an overt act in the great treasonable conspiracy for the destruction of the civil and religious liberties of mankind, for the perver sion of education to the purposes of priestcraft, and for the re-establishment of a grinding, intolerant, per secuting, grasping, sacerdotal despotism. The Polls, by the publication of this Bull, evidently as sumes a right of spiritual supremacy over these realms, which is not only contrary to law, but is ab solutely incompatible with the existence of any other religion ; f or we find that this doctrine of the papal supremacy, as expounded, not by an infu riated bigot of the 16th century, but by a statesman and man of the world of the 19th—by M. DE FALLous, late Minister of Public Instruction of the French Re public, and brother of Monsignore DE FALLOUX, one of the intimate councillors of the POPE—means not merely intolerance of any other doctrines but perse cution to the death of all who deny the Papal supre macy. " The Church alone is in possession of the truth, and it is the dutrof every one who knows he is in possession of the truth to prevent by the most effec tual means in his power the propagation of error," says M. DE FALLOUX, and on these principles he justi fies the atrocious massacre of St. Bartholomew. Again, M. DE MONTALEMBEET, who is at this moment in Rome on a visit to the PoPE, has declared that, for the restore ion of what he and his partisans' call " order," by which word they mean sacerdotal despotism, it is absolutely necessary that the most holy, but much libelled institution, called the Inquisition, should be restored for the purpose of extirpating; Re publicanism, Socialism, and, above all, that which is the parent of both—Protestantism ; and this declaration was made in this very year of grace 1850, and preceded by a few months only the publication of this Bull of the POPE. But it may be said, these arrogant assumptions cannot be carried out without large pecuniary means, and the inability of the POPE to raise money is proverbial. To such persons we would observe that in Mr. NICHOLAS WISEMAN the POPE has appointed an agent whose peculiar talents fur raising money from his penitents, by cajolery or worse means, are unrivalled. The following statement has appeared in the columns of a contemporary : '• It is a well-known fact that the late Mr. Taylor, in whose cemetery at Way bridge are deposited the re mains of Louis Philippe, was induced on his death-bed, on his bed of sickness, to disinherit his son and leave his large property of nigh 3,0001. a year to this very Dr. or Cardinal Wiseman. It is therefore not mei ely our consciences that we have to defend against the Papal Legate, bat our purses, the fortunes of English families, the independent condition of the land, and of the popu lation upon it As members of the Liberal party, as friends of civil and religious liberty, as the unflinching advocates of the rights of the Roman Catholics to an absolute equality in all things with all their fellow-subjects,we regret exceedingly the publication of this Bulb as it shows too plainly that, not content with equality, which we would always strive to secure for them, the Roman Catholics now strive for supremacy, which we never will acknowledge, and in their attempts to secure which they can reckon for no support from the Liberal party. If dui ing the course of the next ses sion of Parliament the question of divided allegiance should be mooted, how will it be possible to deny that the Roman Catholic owes allegiance to a foreign Prince, and therefore is, to a certain extent, an alien ? And if, seeing the treatment that Dr. ACHILLI and other Protestant British subjects have received at Rome, it should be proposed to extend to the Roman Catholic worship in this country precisely the same toleration which is extended to the Protestant worship in Rome, and to treat those who publish the Bulls of the POPE in this country in a precisely similar manner to that in which those are treated in Rome who circulate the authorised Anglican version of the Scriptures, what possible right could the spiritual subjects of the POPE have to complain. And be it remembered, this would not at all interfere with the exercise of any one of their civil privileges ? Doubtless, should such measures be proposed, there would be, as there were prior to 1829, great professions of liberalism on the part of the Catholic party, and a stirring appeal made to liberal sympathies, but, seeing how the promises of liberalism then made have been kept (witness the Synod of Thurles, the denunciations of KOSSUTH by JOHN O'CONNELL, and the epistles by JOHN APHALE passim), we consider that the members of the Liberal party will be perfectly justified if they answer all such appeals with Vouz l'avez voulu, Georges Dandin, vouz l'avez voulu , and abstain from taking any active part in the matter. RETURN OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. —The special train carrying his Royal Highness and suite left York at eight o'clock this morning, and reached the Euston station at 12.50, thus performing the journey in four hours and fifty minutes. The Prince, accompanied by Colonel Grey and Lieut.- Colonel Seymour, immediately proceeded to the Waterloo station of the South-Western Railway, en route to U: borne. RETURN OF THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.— The special train conveying his Lordship and party left York at nine o'clock, and reached the Euston station at 1.55, the journey having been performed in four hours and fifty• five minutes. EXPERIMENT 3 IN THE MARSHES.—WOOLWICH, Ocr. 25. —Colonel Campbell, Colonel Cruttenden, and Lieut.- Colonel Chaliner, assistant adjutant-general of Artillery,with Colonel Pietet, of the Sardinian service, assembled in the marshes, at one o'clock r.m., to-day, to witness experiments with a concussion shell on a plan submitted by Colonel Pietet. The shells, eight in number, and 32-pounders, were fired at 400 yards range, an d answere d remarkably well, six bursting immediately after passing through the bulkhead, and two failing to explode, one owing to its going through a creviously broken and weakened part of the bulkhead, and the other going over the bulkhead without touching it, and becoming imbedded in the earth of the mound. The charge of powder during the firing was Glb. to each round, that quan tity, after repeated trials, having been considered more satis factory in the result of carrying the required distance, and being less liable to burst the shells at the mouth of the gun. POCKET . TELEGRAPH FOR THE PREVENTION OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. -An ingenious contrivance for the prevention, in the event of railway accident,, has been sub mit'ed for experimental use to the principal railway compa nies by Messrs. Brett, the projectors of the submarine tele graph between England and France. The apparatus is a pocket communicator for the guards or engine-drivers,which on the instant of any accident can, by the aid of a small roll of wire be so connected with any point of the main line of electric telegraph from the train or carriage by the guard himself, that communications may be easily sent to announce or guard against accident at any station on the railway. VALE OF NEATII RAILWAY.—The works on this railway, from Aberdare to Neath, are being pushed forward very energetically. Large numbers of men are in full work on every part of the line, and it is said by sanguine expec tants that it will ba opened from Aberdare to Neath by the month of March ; though better authorities seem to think that May is a more probable period.—North Wales Chronicle. TUB SUPPLY OF HAMBURGR GRAPES.--"-The con tinned large importation of this description of grapes has caused them to be much reduced in price.

Mrs. Coplestone is fast re covering from the wounds inflicted upon her. ACCIDENT AT THE BUILDING IN HYDE PARK.— Considerable excitement prevailed yesterday in the neigh bourhood of Hyde Park, in consequence of an unfounded rumour that three men had been killed , through the falling of some of the newly-erected columns and girders. It appears that shortly after seven o'clock yesterday morning some of the men employed in erecting the columns incauti ously removed the poles used in shoring up the columns previous to the longitudinal girders being placed upon them. Shortly afterwards some of the men proceeded to rai se t h e ported columns with the transverse girder to fall. Th ree girders, and in fixing the tackle caused two of the unsup of the men employed—Welsh, Gower, and Foley —were at first supposed to have been severely injured, and were c onveyed to St. George's Hospital. Upon i nqu i ry last night we ascertained, however, that Go wer , who fortu natey had received only a slight brui se on the hip, and Foley, who had received a slight injury i n t h e head, had left the hospital, and would be able t o resume work in the grounds to-day. Welsh, who unf or t unate l y had his leg broken, still remained in the hospital ; but, upon inq u i r y, we were informed that he was in as favourable a state as could be expected. The columns and g i r d er were broken by the fall; their place was, however, sh ort l y after supplied by others. tieensyd eawrfisel a Viscount and Viscountess Eastnor arrived at E istnor Castle on Saturday, the 19th inst., from llighcliffe, the seat of Lady Stuart de R. othesay, where they ha ve been sojourning since their marriage. They were met about two miles from the castle by nearly 200 of Earl Somers' tenants, well mounted, who escorted them. Several beautiful tri umphal arches had been erected. They were received by Earl Somers and other members of the family. The noble pair were loudly cheered as they descended from their carriage. The tenants having partaken of the hospitality of the castle, dispersed to their several bonzes. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC: We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. General D'HAUTFOUL lift Paris for Algiers on Thursday. The Republicans have determined to abstain until the general election of 1852 from taking part in any elections which may take place under the law abro gating universal suffrage. In 1852 the disfranchised of the law of the 31st May will everywhere present themselves at the poll and demand to vote in confor mity with the fundamental law of the Constitution, In every journal there appears a reclamation against the police-concocted falsehoods of the recently pub lished brochure which bears the name of M. TIREL. In the National of yesterday M. FRESLON pronounces the statements of M. TIREL, so far as he is concerned, to be absolutely untrue. M. Ducoux, the ex-Prefect of Police, writes to say that of the 21,500 f. a month remitted according to custom by the Minister of the Interior to the Prefect of Police for secret service, he did not touch a sou in this respect, following the example that had been set successively by his prede cessors, M. CAUSSIDIERE and M. TROUvE CIIAUVEL. Prince CALLIMACRI, the Turkish Ambassador in Paris, had a long conference with General LAHITTE, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the subject of the Hungarian refugees. It is said that the Turkish Government has demanded the good offices of the British and French Governments against the menacing demands of the Austrian Cabinet. Letters from Toulon state that the return of the Vauban and the steamer Chimere, that had left on the 10th with troops, was looked forward to with much anxiety in consequence of the bad weather. The people of the town of Ouchda on the Moorish territory, close to the French possessions in Africa, have demanded the protection of the French troops against the bands of insurgents who devastate the country. It was thought probable that, owing to the state of Morocco, the Governor of Oran would have to demand reinforcements from France.

The revolt, which had not been joined in by any officer ' was, however, so on re p resse d. The regiment consisted of 1,200 men. The drum major, formerly a member of one of the Centralista Juntas in Catalonia, was the person who put himself al the head of the movement. As soon as the men returned to their duty the drum-major was taken out and shot. The Bolsa was closed on the 20tb. PORT UGAL. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF PALMELLA. Accounts have been received from Lisbon of the 19th. On the 12th the Duke of PALMELLA died at Lisbon, in the 69th year of his age. The deceased Duke was a lineal descendant of ALruoNso 111., King of Portugal, and also of the ducal house of Holstein, and filled a large space in the history of his country with the record of his acts. His principal diplomatic ,achievement was his representing Portugal at the Congress of Vienna, from which, but for his spirited note to Lord CASTLEREAGH, of the 30th Sep tember, 1815, it wag the intention of the great powers to have excluded the secondary states of Europe. When the revolution broke out at Brazil in 1820, he went out to Rio Janeiro, in hopes of being able to serve his SOVEREIGN, but finding his advice neglected he returned to Lisbon. He was mixed up with most of the events in the various revolutions of his country, but whether in or out of power, he was always respected, even by his enemies. He was long Minister from his Court to that of St. James's. In domestic life he is highly spoken of as an affectionate husband and father, a good friend, and kind master ; and his hand was ever open to afford relief to the necessitous. Lord PALMERSTON had, it was said, sent in a strong note on the subject of the persecution to which Dr. KALLEY had been subjected at Madeira, for celebrating Prot:stant worship in his own house. Commodore MARTIN'S squadron was still in the Tagus. GERMAN Y. ENTRANCE OF PRUSSIAN TROOPS INTO HESSE-CASSEL. On the 23d the Elector ofITEssE issued an ordi nance dissolving all the departments of the Ministry of Finance. They will be replaced by commissions subordinate to the Finance Minister, who will have the power of raising all the revenues of the country. On the same day, the Bavarian troops, acting in concert with those of Austria, advanced to the frontier of the Electorate, but did net move in. On the 24'11 the Prussian, troops under General GROBEN occupied the military roads of Hesse (as they have a right to do by treaty), in order to form the junction of the two Prussian corps in Thuringia. General GaonEN has orders to repulse any intervention byarmEd force. M. PERSIGNY'S mission to Berlin is for the purpose of prevailing upon Prussia to do her duty by inter vening in Holstein. In the expected case of a re fusal he is to intimate that the Powers will execute the protocol of London. FIRE AT A CHURCH IN THE ClTY.—This morn» ing, a few minutes after nine o'clock, great alarm was ex cited in the neighbourhood of 'Threadneedle-street, Bishop gate-street, by the discovery that the church of St. blartin's Outwich, at the angle of the street, was on fire. The Brigade engines from Watling-street, under the direction of Mr. Braidwood, and other engines were promptly on the spot. There was a plentiful supply of water, but as the doors were locked, and the sexton could not readily be found, the fire men were proceeding to break open the doors, but the keys having been obtained, the men after having, though with difficulty, got through the densest of the smoke, discovered the point where the fire existed, conveyed the hose into a vault underneath the church, and which had been converted into a furnace-room to warm the church by hot steam. The fire was fortunately subdued before any serious damage was done. The cause of the fire is supposed to be the ignition of some shavings. ELECTION OF THE MARINE BOARD FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.—The election of six members to serve in the local marine board for the port of London took place yester day at the Guilaall. Mr. J. Gibb, barrister, who had been appointed returning-officer by the Lord Mayor, opened the proceedings by announcing that his Lordship had received a communication from the Board of Trade intimating the se lection of the following gentlemen to act as members of the board on their part :—The Lord Mayor (ex officio), Mr. C. Yardley, magistrate at the Thames Police Court (ex officio), Mr. H. Green, Mr. Duncan Dunbar, and Captain Barnett, R.N. The General Shipowners' Society had recommended that the members to be elected by the shipowners should be chosen from a list of twelve persons, for whom votes were given as follows : J. Shepherd, 308; R. L. Hunter, 281 ; H. J. Hall, R.N., 253 ; C. Ingram, 233 ; A. Ridley, 208 ; W. Drew, 169 ' J. Gilmore, R.N., 166 ; G. Denny, 158 ; H. Shuttleworth, 151; R. Enibleton, 149 ; J. 11. Los combe, 116 ; and Rigmaiden, RN., 26. The first six were elected. THE COURTS Or CHANCERY.—The late Vice- Chancellor Sir James Wigram has retired upon an annuity of 3,5(3/., being the amount to which a Vice-Chancellor, either resigning after a service of fifteen years or disabled by permanent infirmity from exercising the judicial function, is, under the sth of Victoria, cap. 5, sec. 36, entitled. It was the anxious desire of Sir James to continue his services to the public, but the impaired condition of his eye-sight pre vented the gratification of that honourable wish. His case was unhesitatingly admitted by the law officers to be one within the provision of the statute as to permanent infirmity. We are happy to hear that Lord Langdale's health has greatly improved, and affords hopes that he will long be able to perform his high judicial functions. MISTAKES AT LONDON BRIDGE.---The want of a standing committee or commission for the improvement of the: metropolis, to take advantage :of such opportunities as occur to preserve general concord in improvements, and to check injurious proceedings which are now constantly oc curring, is greatly needed. At present, what is done by one party is undone by another, and new buildings are permitted to be put up which must be bought to be pulled down before long. Efforts to beautify the metropolis we need scarcely look for ; the usefulness of the beautiful is not yet sufticiently felt; but the improvement of thoroughfares and the main tenance of open areas might be expected from the merest utilitarian. Every bad step is followed by a worse. Look at London. bridge —no sooner is a huge building erected to block upl the Southwark end of the bridge than another is commenced, next the Adelaide Hotel, on the City side. Thousands were spent to improve this part of London, to get good approaches and open the river, and now all the advan tages gained are about to be sacrificed. Even the new cor poration buildings at Billingsgate appear to us to come nearer to the water's edge than seems desirable. The improvement of the banks of the Thames is much to be desired, and often talked about; but the tendency of actual proceedings seems, unfortunately, quite the other way.— The Builder. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.--A great number of the hands recently employed by the above com pany, at Stratford, have emigrated to America. During the ensuing week a ship, sailing for New York, will convey se veral persons who had been employed by the company for many years past. We understand that the rate of wages at New York for engine fitters is higher than in England, and that there is a demand for various classes of mechanics con nected with railway works.—Chelmsford Chronicle. THE SOUTH- WESTERN RAILWAY.—HEN MA JIISTY'S PRIVATE STATION AT WINDsom—A very elegant and commodious station is now in the coulee of erection at Windsor, close to the terminus of the railway of the South western Company, in Datchet-lane, for the especial use and accommodation of her Majesty and the royal family, and si tuated within a few yards of the private drive leading from the royal re sidence. The building, which will b e i n the Gothic style of architecture, will comprise, in addition to an elegant saloon, exclusively for the accommodation of the Queen and the Prince Consort, a waiting-room for the royal attendants, with retiring-rooms, eec. The permanent station of the company (which will be, like the Queen's private sta tion, in the Gothic style) from the de s i gns o f Mr. Tite, is nearly completed. It will occupy an extent, in length, of 410 feet; nearly 300 feet being wholly protected from the weather. The width of the covered portion will be 52 feet, so that two or three trains can arrive, and the passengers leave them, at the same time. These erections now in pro gress will form, when completed, great ornaments in that part of the royal borough.
