The dinner took place on the 17th of March, St. Patrick's Day, and being altogether of a festive nature, and quite unconnected with politics, Mr. Daly was induo,d to preside on the occasion. On the toast of the Press being given, a Mr. Blake, the printer and publisher of a local newspaper, rose to return thanks, and in the course of his speech he did make use of some such language as that referred to in this alleged libel, but Mr. Daly and others repressed him for so doing there, and then he was told that if he did not desist the company would have no help for it but to turn him out; where upon Mr. Blake resumed his seat, and nothing more was heard of the matter, nor was it alluded to in the reports of the dinner that afterwards appeared in the newspapers. Several per sons who were present at the dinner, including a Mr. O'Flaherty, joint d the reverend gentleman in swearing that he never spoke any such words as those imputed to him ; and as the libel could not be the result of an error or mistake in the reports of the dinner, there could be no question that the intention of the writer in Punch was to wantonly, grossly, and maliciously attack the cha racter of the reverend gentleman; and he had therefore come to this Court, at the earliest possible opportunity, to seek that protection which the Court was in the habit of affording to persons attacked under similar circum stances. Mr. Justice WrountAN—Take a rule. Mr. BADDELEY—WiII your Lordship be good enough to make it returnable this term? Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—There is no point of law in volved in the case, and the rule may be made returnable on Monday, to be argued on Tuesday. If, however, the parties are not ready then the rule must, of course be discharged. Rule nisi accordingly. MARLBRO'-STREET—(r His DAY) GENTLEMANLY AMUSEMENTS.—Josiah Robinson and Thomas Bacon, described on the charge-sheet as gentle men, residing at the Bedford Hotel, Covent-garden, were brought before Mr. Bingham charged with being arunk, and assaulting Police•constable Boyce 181 C. The constable stated that about half-past twelve on the previous night he was on duty in the Haymarket, when he saw a cab drive up amongst the carriages which were waiting to take up at the Opera. He told the cabman to drive on, and not obstruct the way, when the de fendant Robinson, who was in the cab, called out, " Leave him alone, you —, stop till I pay him." Witness then took hold of the horse's head for the purpose of removing the cab, when Robinson got oat and collared him; • 'walla ensued, and Robinson fell to the ground. Wit ness then took him to the station. On their n•ay there the defendant Bacon came behind him and annoyed him so much by treading on his heels, that when they ar rived at the station-house ho was locked up also. They were both very drunk. Mr. BINGHAM fined Robinson 10s., and the usual drunkard's fine of ss. was inflicted on Bacon, with a caution as to their future behaviour. MORE GENTLEMANLY AMUSEMENT,—Thomas Wil son and James Litton, two gentlemen from the country, at present staying at Peele a Coffee-house, Fleet-street, were charged with being drunk and creating a dis turbance at Mr. Genese's Coffoe- house, 125, Jermyn street. Mr. Genese stated that about five o'clock this morning the two defendants came into his house with two others, and called for some refreshments. Seeing they were in toxicated he refused to servo them, and desired them to leave the house. They declined doing so, and Litto❑ sparred up to him in a fighting attitude, and struck him, and said he would stop there and fight him. Com. plainant then ran out for a constable, and when he re turned Wilson took a seat in the corner, and swore he would not leave until he had some coffee. Witness then took him by the arm, and again requested him to leave, and as they both still persisted in remaining, he gave them in charge. The defendants, who denied the charge of drunken ness in tote, were ordered to enter into their own recog nizances to keep the peace towards the complainant for three months. THE TICKET-SHOP NUISANCE.—This morning a lady, whose name did not transpire, made an application to Mr. Bingham for advice under the following eircum. stances: — Applicant stated that yesterday afternoon she was passing a draper's shop in Oxford-street, when she was attracted by seeing some alpacas marked is. 11d. per yard. As she wish©d to make a purchase, she entered the shop and, after looking at the goods, had them mea sured, and as there were 221 yards, which was more than she required, the shopman agreed, if she took the lot, to let her have it at Is. lid. per yard. She consented to that, and gave the shopman a sovereign and a half, re ceiving in change 7F. Id. The goods were subsequently sent homo to her residence in Ely-place, bat the servant would not take them in in consequence of 2s. more, in addition to what she had already paid, being demanded. This morning she went to the shop and saw the shop. man, to whom she complained of the imposition; he then said she had made a mistake in the change and had given him 2s. too little. This she denied, and as he would not give up the parcel she wished to know how she was to act. Mr. BINGHAM said he would send a constable to the shop to tell the party that unless the parcel was given up he should grant a summons to compel him. The lady thanked the Magistrate and left the court. About half-an-hour afterwards, Crosbie, one of the war rant officers attached to this court, who was sent with tke lady, returned, and informed Mr. Bingham that after some little trouble he had succeeded in prevailing upon the shopman to give up the parcel to the lady without her paying the 2i. demanded. Mr. BINGHAM thought the shopman had adopted the wisest plan. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. (THIS DAY.) At twelve o'clock this morning, notwithstanding the unpromising aspect of the weather, 24,815 persons had been admitted into the Crystal Palace, of whom 11,375 entered in the first hour. There was no perceptible change in the class of visitors, who all appeared to be eons of toil, who had brought their families, many of them from a distance, evidently to inspect the congre gated products of industry from all nations of the earth. It will be remembered that soon after the opening of the Exhibition, a pistol, exhibited in the Belgian depart ment, was stolen from the case in an unaccountable manner, and all trace of it disappeared until yesterday, when it was offered for pledge at a pawnbroker's shop in Knightsbridge. Information was given to the police, and the boy apprehended, and we understand he is to be brought up at Alarlborough•street this day. trifl HAMPTON RACES. (THIS DAY.-BY EXPRESS.) Handicap Plate.

The return principally consists of a copy of the formula of presentation then printed in the Gazette , for the accommodation of th ose who were to attend the Levee and Drawing-room, b u t a re turn is given of the persons to whom the entree to the Castle was given by ter Majesty, in addition to those who had the entree at St. James's.

MONSTER MILITARY BAND.—The bands of the two regiments of Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards (Blue), the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier Guards, with that of the Royal Artillery, from Woolwich, attended at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, on Tuesday afternoon last, for the purpose of rehearsing, as ono band, the several pieces of music selected fur performance at the Grand Military Mu sical Festival which is to take place in the grounds of that establishment on the 17th and 18th of June. It was in tended that the bands should have played in the garden, but owing to the inclemency of the weather, the rehearsal took place in the pensioners large dinner hall. The bands will again attend for practice on Friday and Monday next. THE LATE FAILURE IN LIVERPOOL.—We perceive that some of the London papers state the liabilities of Mr. Richard Hyde, cotton merchant, of Liverpool, at something like 200,0001. or 300,000/. ; a statement which, we have rea son to believe, is very greatly exaggerated. The precise amount, we believe, is not at present ascertained, as there have been some purchases of cotton at New Orleans, on joint account with another party. It is believed that Mr. Hyde's own liabilities will-be paid in-full ; and that the divi, cloud ell the joint debts Will be luge.-.4fancheste). Guardian. THE SUN, FINE ARTS. PYNE'S LAKE SCENERY. [ln consequence of the number of applications which have reached us for copies of the subjoined criticism, we are induced to reprint it for the satisfac tion of our subscribers.] Almost every week enables us to announce some new pictorial exhibition to the lovers of art, as having been opened somewhere or other in the metropolis. In this manner we have successively notified the ex cellencies or defects perceptible in the galleries throughout London from that of the Royal Academy downwards. Nevertheless, while we have repeatedly found reason to eulogize the originators of these col lections, we have seldom had more peculiar cause than in the present instance for felicitating them very cor dially on their union of judgment and enterprise. To the Messrs. Agnew and Sons, of Manchester, the public are indebted not only for the di-play of this noble collection of paintings at the establishment of the Messrs. Graves, near the Opera Colonnade, but for, what is of yet greater interest to the mass of the community, the promise of their ultimate re-production in the form of engravings. It must surely be counted as among the curiosities of the picturesque that, notwithstanding the matchless beauty and celebrity of the lake scenery of England, there has been no attempt until the one here noticed at any consecutive series of pictures by way of their illustration. Fortunately, the task has fallen to one of the most gifted artists of our time, one of the most brilliant among the many noble landscape painters of our country and generation—a worthy contemporary of Stansfield, and the most successful among the dis ciples of Turner. At any period a visit to the apart ment adorned by these five-and-twenty exquisite productions would have proved to ourselves pecu• liarly agreeable, revealing as each picture does the genius of art and the splendour of nature as they are in England, but our satisfaction upon both these heads is, of course, especially enhanced by the pre sence of so many intelligent foreigners in the me tropolis, men who may here be enabled to form something like an adequate idea of the powers of English artists, and of the loveliness of English landscapes. What adds, moreover, very con siderably to the pleasure with which th e collection will be viewed, is the fact that so many will be enabled to appreciate the truthfulness with which Mr. J. B. Pyne has delineated the magnificent scenery of Cum berland, as well as the poetic genius he has revealed in the process of that same delineation. Remem brance will tell the majority of spectators the close adherence to reality maintained by the artist, even at moments when to the ignoranthe would seem most to have idealized his subject in regard to colour, to per spective, or to elevation. Literary as well as physical recollections will force themselves likewise upon the minds of most people while surveying these re markable drawings, representing as they do spots of our beloved fatherland hallowed by the resi dence of genius, green nooks familiar to the foot steps of Coleridge, sunny orchards haunted by Hemans, woods and umbrageous coppices where Wordsworth has so often strolled, where Southey has meditated over dreams of oriental romance, where Wilson has mused over the marvels of creation, De Quincey over the wonders of intellectual speculation, and Arnold over the miraculous truths of philosophy. Such is the classic region whose charms have been here portrayed by the luminous pencil of Pyne, with not less faithful adroitness if regarded under their most homely, or under their most sublime aspects. The names merely of some of the paintings referred to will be sufficient to remind the generality of the beauty with which, under the hand of Pyne, they are instinct. There is "Buttermere," for in stance (No. 1), and this, too, under the influence of a tempest. Th en there are " Basenthwaite" (No. 2), with a portion of Skiddaw ; and "Derwent" (No. 3), w ith a perspective peeping into Barrowdale ; and " Windermere" (No. 4) as it appears when approached from Ambleside; and " Ry dal" (No. 5), with a sombre darkness over it as if mourning for its great departed ; and " Grasmere " (No. 6), with that wondrous gleam of light streaming round the corner of the boulder stones in the fore ground, with the sheep thrown out into bright light, while overhead in the next picture (No. 7), near " Kes wick," the moon floats a pale and ghostly crescent in the watery distance of the sky. Thirlemere, Wy therburn, West Water, Lowes Water, Langdale Pikes, Dungeon Gill Force, Ennerdale, Brothers' Water, Crummock Water, are none of them forgotten, each being represented with a marvellous verisimili tude. " Skiddaw" (No. 10) is depicted with astonish ing power under the appearance it assumes when covered with autumnal snow. " Ulleswater" (No. 11) again is an exquisite composition. The incident of the overloaded timber waggon pausing as it descends from Gowbarrow-park, is charmingly in troduced. In (No. 14) a view embracing the Vale of Keswick, Basenthwaite Lake, and the River Greta, may be recognised one of those peculiarities of colour which we have already alluded to as observable in the Lake District, the pink clay and pebbles lying in the left-hand corner of the foreground. Another splendid painting is (No. 17), that of the Lake of Windermere, the hand of the artist being every where traceable from the fleecy sinus or mackerel sky to the men who have clambered up into the tree tops in the frolics of the regatta. " llawes Water and Wallergill Force" (No. 19) are rendered with surprising ability, the foaming cascade reminding us in its descent of the impetuous and inspiriting verses of Southey on the cataract. It were frivolous, however, to attempt a mere matter-of-fact enumeration of the merits of this series of pictures, requiring us they do, more than one visit for their full and perfect appreciation. Every one familiar with the great and rare powers of Mr. Pyne as an artist— and not only as an artist, but also as a poet and a geologist, a poet in sentiment and a geologist in the minuteness of his observation—will conjecture what must be accomplished by him when, as in the instance before us, he has undertaken to depict the lake scenery of England. To such as these, and to the rest of the public indiscriminately, we commend these five-and twenty most remarkable paintings, which, for their representation, no t on l y o f eart h, o f water, of foliage, and of cloudland, but of airy distances and atmos pheric phenomena likewise, must be eulogised as no thing less than artistic masterpieces. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES. The commencement of the Manchester races on the same day, by drawing away several parties—either owners of horses or members of the ring—to some ex tent prejudiced the gathering yesterday on Moulsey Hurst; it happened fortunately, however, that atter two wretchedly cold wet days, the weather proved extremely favourable ; this, and an unusually good list—the result of an improved and more liberal management—attracted a large company, the attendance, although it evidently lacked something in fashion, being in number fully up to what we have usually seen on the first day. In the absence of Mr. Hibburd, from continued indisposition, the duties of clerk of th e course, starter, &c ., `` were en trusted to Mr. E. Hibb ur d an d Mr. Walton, Mr. Clark, of Newmarket, filling the more responsible office of judge; each acquitted himself satisfactorily; in fact, there was nothing to cavil at in the management, except the order in which the races were arranged, a match which came to nothing being first on the card, and the heats between the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes and Claremont, instead of being last; this error of judgment would have been avoided had the order of running been left to the stewards. The sport was ample, and was got through with a commendable attention to time, and with no other drawbacks than the contretemps in the race fer the Claremont Stakes, and three or four rows in the in closure amongst the " outside" betting fraternity, who, we take for granted, would not have been admitted had it been possible to identify them; one or two narrowly escaped ducking. Our list of the titled and fashionable will be short. It embraces only the Marquis of Drogheda, Lord Clif den, Lord Strathmore, Lord Lurgan, Lord Robert Clinton, Lord Stanhope, Sir W. W. Wynn, the Hon. Major Needham, Hon. Major Pitt, Hon. Capt. Rous, Hon. Fred. Villiers, Captains Foster, Dixon, Dorsey, Little, Oakes, Blair, Bastard, Higgins, and Pettat. Messrs. Payne, Standish, S. Graham, G. Sturt, Ma gennis, Archdall, Gregory, Newton, Martyn, Crommelin, Seymour, Rainsbottorn, Berkeley, &c., &c. The racing does not call for a very lengthy report. March 50. Catch weight.

Two or three of the light weights then showed in advance, but were beaten as soon as they got into the straight running. From the distance-post the race was betweenVampyre and Abdallah, the latter getting his head first halfway up, and winning by half a length, Don Pedro a moderate third. Run in 3 min. 42 secs.

GRAND BANQUET BY THE MERCHANT TAILORS' COMPAIVY Yesterday being St. .Barnabas'-day, the annual exa mination of the Merchant Ta]lors' Schoel was held, ac cording to the time-honoured custom, in the presence of 1)r. Winter, the master, and the senior fellows of St. John's College, Oxford, and other distinguished visitors; dnd in the evening the master and warders gave their annual dinner to the examiners and their friends. The opportunity was at the same time taken of inviting a number of the distinguished foreigners who are at pre sent in this country to partake of the magnificent hos pitality of this ancient and distinguished civic company. The banquet took place in the hall, and all the resources of the company were expended in an entertainment which should do honour to the company, and enable our foreign guests, who have come over to attend the Exhibition, to appreciate the munificent hospitality of the great trading companies in the metropolis. ‘Vm. Robinson White, Eq., master, was in the chair, and there were also present—llls Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, President and Senior Fellows of St. John's College, Oxford, the Marquis of Douro, the Earl of Sheffield, Earl Howe.

The cloth having been removed, The MASTER proposed " The Church and Queen," which was received with the utmost loyalty and enthu siasm. The MASTER said the next toast was "Prince Al bert" (citize❑ and Merchant Tailor).—(Cheers.) He had entertained great hopes that his Royal Highness would have been present on that occasion; but as he was unavoidably absent, he proposed that they should drink his health.—(Cheers.) The MASTER said they had present with them an illustrious Prince, who was also a brother Merchant Tailor—his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge.— (Cheers.) His Royal Highness was the last of the illus trious names that bad been enrolled on their list of honourable members, but they were happy to enrol his name among the many distinguished men that had been connected with them as honourable members. He begged to propose " His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, the Princa of Wales, and the other members of the Royal Family." mho Duke of CaatnninGE said be felt at all times honoured and gratified to have the advantage of meeting in that hall the master, wardens, and members of this an cient and loyal company—a company to be enrolled on whose tablets he considered a distinglished honour.— (Cheers.) He, as an humble individual, felt strongly that these ancient institutions were of the greatest ad vantage and of the greatest importance to this great country. It was, therefore, a gratification to him that he had the honour of being a member of one of these ancient and distinguished civic companies. He was al ways happy in being permitted to meat them at their hospitable board, particularly when, as at present, he saw around him, not only distinguished members of this country, but ago so many foreigners of distinction. — (Cheers.) He f,:lt that the friendly intercourse which was thus produced would tend to pronatite the general advancement and civilization of the worli. He trusted that such would be the result, and he was proud, with the permission of the Master, as well at of the other members, of this corporation, to bid these foreign gentle men welcome to their hospitable board.—(Cheers.) The MUSTER then proposed " Tee Army and Navy." Lord HARDINGE begged, in the absence of the Com mander-in-Chiet, to return his cordial thinks for the army, who, he said, were proud on all occasions to re ceive the approbation of their fellow-citizens when assembled on these festive occasions. He would remind them that the British army maintained her Majesty's dominions in colonies extending over one-tenth of the whole terrestrial globe; and iu one of which colonies alone, that of India, there was assembled one-tenth of the population of the world. That reminded him for cibly of the obligations they owed to the Indian as well as to the Queen' s army; and he could never accept praises for the one without broadly hoping that they would unite the other.—(Cheers.) With respect to the British army, he must say—and Le appealed on this point to his Royal Highness, who was an excellent judge —that the British armv was as remarkabl e f or di sc ipli ne and good conduct at home as it was for energy and gal lantry abroad. He hoped, however, that their swords would now be turned into ploughshares, at least for a long time to come, and in that expectation he cordially drank their good healths. Lord COLCHESTER, who returned thanks for the navy, said, he had no doubt, if flair services should be required, that the navy would he found not to have degenerated from y the etlicieso- of their prede cessors. But it must be remembered that the navy had different duties to fulfil. They were not only called upon to protect the country against foreign ene mies, but they were called upon also commerce of the world. They had done this duty hitherto, and he hoped they would continue to do it for the future.—(Cheers.) The MASTER said ono of the most pleasant duties was the examination of the boys at the school of the com pany, and the election of the senior sch o l ar , to St. John's College, Oxford. The task of examination had been kindly discharged by Dr. Winter, Who was himself Merchant Tailor, and that day forty years had been elected into the Merchant Tailors' school —now he was the distinguished president of his college. He begged to propose " Dr. Winter, the president,and th e sen i o r fel lows of St. John's College, Oxford.",_(Cheers.) Dr. WINTER returned thanks. It was now, he said, several centuries since the Merchant Tailors' School had been opened, and since Sir Thomas White, the origina tor and founder of St. John's College, O xford, had con ferred upon the company the privilege of nominating three-fourths of the fellows of his sollege. Since that time the Merchant TailorS' School lad been industri ously and faithfully engaged in traiti ng up c hil dren i n the principles of sounelearuing, pure religion, and de voted loyalty. In the examination of this year he was happy to say that the boys had highly distinguished themselves, because they had been able to nominate three fellows; and though it did not becom e a prudent and sober person to deal in prophecies, Set he might ven ture to predict that these boys would do credit to them selves and to their college, and that tha t' would establish for the school additional claims to therespect and grati tude of the nation at large.—(Cheers.) The MASTER then proposed " The Honorary Mem bers," among whom, he was happy to aly e , they reckoned one name that was the glory of the world—the Duke of Wellington. — (Cheers ) Ther e wer e other names that were not far behind him—such as Lend Hardinge, Sir George Pollock, and ot h e r i llustrio us men.—(Cheers.) He begged to propose " The Honorary Members of the Company. Lord HARDINGE returned thanks. The MASTER then said they wen gratified with having the honour of entertaining a lumber of distin guished foreigners, who had come to this country in connexion with the Exhibition of the 4rts and Industry of All Nations. Ile was proud to see, also, that several distinguished statesmen who were present were also connected, as Royal Commissioners, a:th that Exhibie tion; and he begged to propose as a toast, Her Ma jesty's Commissioners and the Foreign Commissioners for conducting the Groat Exhibition,' and he would couple with the toast the na mes of Lord Stanley and Baron C. Dupin.—(Cheers.) Lord STANLEY was received with loud cheering. He said—l little expected when I enterer' your hospitable room this evening that I should be called upon to return thanks for a body of men to whom, on every account, I feel it a pride and a gr atification t belong. But to you, master, and to th is com p an y , I personally owe a deep obligation, and I should feel myself un worthy of the kindness which I have received at your hands if I were for a momen t to hesitate ,however inade quate, to undertake the tas k which you have set me. This is not the first time I have had the honour of speaking on behalf of the R o y al Commissioners of the Great Exhibition, as I thick I may now call it, of the Industry of All Nations. I have spoken upon this sub• jest in the City at a time when the balance of public opi nion was suspended beta een the chances and hopes of success and the fears and apprehensions of signal failure. I remember in this city, though not in this room, a great impulse was given to the popular excitement in favour of the Exhibition by an entertainment, which ' was attended by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, under whose auspices the idea originated, and was, I may say, perfected. At that time great doubts existed whether the Exhibition would in any respect answer the ideas of its originator and proposer. There were I know not what apprehensions; there were fearsof a pecuniary failure—perhaps that was a failure of the least kind— there were fears of constant discomfort —there was talk even of au interference with the national amusements and r creations of the people—there were fears and apprehensions that, from the gathering of all nations, this country would become tho focus of internal sedition and of external anar chy. I thank God first—l thank the genius and spirit of my countrymen next—that these app re h ens i ons h ave vanished and melted into thin air. —(Loud cheere.) Nay, even the difficulties and obstacles which were interposed served only to heighten the magnificence and the splen dour of the ceremony; for I well remember, when ob jections were raised on a point of feeling in which I myself participated, that it was hardly right to desecrate those splendid parks which are the beauty and glory of this city, by destroying those venerable trees under whose shade succeeding generations have sported and been amused; and when the preservation of these trees was forced upon the Commissioners by the controlling power of public opinion, that objection actually con tributed to produce the grandest and most magnificent MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. Yesterday a very fully attended meeting was held at the Middlesex Hospital, for the purpose of distributing the prizes to the pupils in the School of Medicine for the session 1850-51. Sir R. Limas, Bart, M.P., took the chair, and after addressing appropriate observations to each of the suc cessful candidates, and encouraging them to persevere in their arduous duties, the clinical prize in medicine was accorded to Mr. Septimus William Sibley; the chemical prize in surgery, to Mr. Edward Rawson Denton, of Leicester. The prizes given by the visiting apothecaries to the hospital were:—First prize, Mr. Henry William Reny, of Plymouth; second prize, Mr. H. J. Ellery, of Truro; the treasurer's prize, Mr. Wil liam Henry Bean, Plymouth; and the general certificates included the names of Mr. Daniel Balding, Mr. Edwin Stephen Collins, Mr. James C. Copeland, Mr. Walter Crisp, Mr. Augustus Davis, Mr. Robert John Dempster, Mr. Edward Rawson Denton, Mr. Thomas Duxon, Mr. N. James Grant, Mr. James Hudaway, Mr. Leonard H. J. Hayne, Mr. W. A. G. James, Mr. William Lucy, Mr. Frederick Marley, Mr. David Mathias, Mr. Henry Rose, Mr. A. C. Shout, and Mr. Edward Vernon. The prizes adverted to included the subjects of medicine, surgery, physiology, anatomy, pr act i ca l anatomy, che mistry, midwifery, materia medica, forensic medicine, and botany. .. The concluding observations of the worthy chairman were listened to with the deepest attention, and the awarding of the prizes seemed to afford general satis faction. --- COURT OP LIEUTENANCY. ---A very numerous meeting of the Commissioners of Lieutenancy for the city of London was held on Tuesday at the Guildhall, for the pur pose of electing a Lieutenant -Colonel of the Royal London Militia, in the room of Alderman Thompson, who had been appointed to succeed the late Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter as Colonel of the regiment; the Right Hon. the Lard Mayor in the chair. There were present upon the occasion Sir Moses Montefiore, Colonel Sykes, Alderman Kelly, Sir Chapman Marshall, Mr. Dodd, M.P., Mr. Walter, M.P., Mr. Masterman, M.P., Alderman Sidney, M.P., Alderman and Sheriff Carden, Alderman Cubitt, M.P., Captain Hicks, Mr. Peters, Mr. Holland, Mr. Halford, Alderman Lawrence, Mr. Lawford, Mr. Moore, Mr. Norris, Mr. Josiah Wilson, Deputy Hale, Mr. John Wood, Mr. Anderton, Deputy Bed ford, Deputy Conway, Mr. Eagleton, Deputy Evans, De puty Lorkin, Deputy Lott, Deputy Curling, Mr. C. Lea Wilson, Mr. Seeley, Mr. Maynard, and many others. After a letter had been read from Lady Bunter, in answer to a letter of condolence from the last court, the members proceeded to ballot for a Lieutenant. Colonel. When the glasses were opened, anti th e numbers were cast up, the Lord Mayor declared the au Court the u t r Alderman Wilson elected to fill the vacant appointment by a majority of fifty votes. Alderman Wilson then, having commissionprove broke up. been ordered WOOLWICH, JUNE 11.—The numbers of visitors to Woolwich Dockyard have been greater to-day, both of foreigners and of inhabitants of this country, and they appear to have been highly gratified with the magnitude of the works, and power and perfection of the machinery in the factory and at the saw-mills. The Royal Albert, of 120 guns, building at this yard, is also a great object of attraction. CONSIDERATION ON CAB REFORM.-''' With such determination have cabmen persisted in the endeavour to _extort more than their legal-fare from the public, that it has been found necessary to reduce their demands by Mayne force.,-Punch. ~-r.-Y,:~. ~~.,,.,. EVENING, JUNE 12, 1851. spectacle of the Exhibition, whilst we guarded and spar, d those venerable relics of a past age.—(Cheers.) And now we see with pride end satislactiou the realization of this grand conception. N'y'e see brought together treasures that surpass the utmost imagination of the ancient fabulists—we see a building, magnificent in its extent—magnificent in its proportion—magnificent, I venture to say, in its ue adorned simplicity—we see it springing from the earth with a rapidity equalling the fabled powers of magic— we see it containing treasures of untold magnificence and wealth, the produce of all the nations of the earth brought into this country by the rivalry of peaceful and honourable competition, and ungrudgingly entrusted to the honour and the keeping of the British public.— (Cheers.) I doubt not that that honour will be main tained, as it has hitherto been, untarnished. I don't doubt that while this Great Exhibition will show to foreign countries the marvels of our own industry, as it will show to us the marvels of the industry of foreigners, there will be no dishonourable rivalry, no hostile feeling, no angry competition, excited; but that there will be mutual admiration of each other's peaceful powers, mu tual desire to promote harmonious intercourse and those friendly communications which are kept up by commerce and by the interchange of the miracles of art; and that the result of this Great Exhibition will be to bring the ends of the world together in peaceful and harmonious competition.—(Cheers.) If there is one thing in the inane Is of art, iu the triumphs of industry, in the magnificence of the various produc tions of various countries, which to my mind is more striking than another—if there is one thing of which, as an Englishman, lam proud—it is to see that all cluesei in this great country partake in the admira tion and the interest which is felt in this great . congre gation of the products of universal industry. It not alone the high—it is nut alone the wealthy—it is not alone the great merchant—it is not alone the powerful in this realm—but it is the hard-toiled mechanic—it is the hard-worked labourer—the honest sons of toil and industry who have come to view these marvellous ac cumulations of skill; and as each man returns from viewing these mighty works of art, he feels in his mind, and probably says to himself, " And I too am one of that class who have contributed these marvels."—(Loud cheers.) Forgive me if I add also, on behalf of my fellow Commissioners, and of those foreign gentlemen who are associated with us—and I hope I may say in the language not of dishonourable pride, that I wit nessed, and I am sure they witnessed, with admiration and respect, the self-imposed order, discipline, and regu larity with which this free people, confident in their free institutions, guard and protect the treasures en trusted to their charge, and, without the need of military force, without the need of coercion, they them selves maintain that order which is the greatest and highest proof of a free and enlightened people.—(Loud cheers.) While I return thanks to you on behalf of those Commissioners who are my own countrymen—for I am aware that my foreign friends will return better thanks fur themselves—(Hear)—while I return thanks to you, master, and to this company, for the kindness with which you have proposed and drank the healths of the Commissioners—l must add that they are a body who, speaking at least for myself, have had little to do except to give the matter a little of our attention. But I am aware that others have laboured earnestly and well, and I know that no praise can be too great for our Royal President, who originated and supported this great movement.—(Cheers.) Neither can too high praise be given to the Executive Committee, who have ably ma naged the details. But while I now return you my thanks for your acknowledgments of the services of the Royal Commissioners, whilel feel pride as an Englishman in the gratifying spectacle exhibited to the world in this Great Exhibition, I must say that that Exhibition would have been incomplete if it had not been for the oppor tunity which you have given the foreign visitors this day of witnessing your magnificent, but not more than ordinary hospitality. And I hope that our foreign friends will observe and appreciate the feeling that, amidst these festive occasions, there mingles with the festivity a due regard to the interests of religion, of edu• cation, and of commerce, and that it is by a combina tion of all these great objects, which it is the interest of a great country to uphold, and by the admixture of all ranks and protessions i n one common en d an d one com mon object—it is by suc h means as t h ese t h at t hi s coun try has risen —that every country may rise—and that, I trust, every country w ill r i se to as great advancement and civilization as that to which, as an Englishman, I am proud to believe our country has attained.—(Cheers.) I only venture to hope, speaking in the words which I see in this book before me idle selection of songs and glees for the evening], that when these "gorgeous pa laces," these " solemn temples," for so they may almost be called, shall dissolve, as they will almost as rapidly as they have risen— " And, like the baseless fabric of a vision, Leave not a wreck behind"— at least, not a material wreck—they will leave upon the mind of those who have witnessed the great marvels of this year a feeling of satisfaction at having passed a pe riod of intellectual amusement, not unmingled with im provement—(Hear, hear)—that there will be left behind the memory of friendly feelings kindled and engendered among various nations, and I trn-it not soon to be severed or destroyed.—(flear, hear.) And among the grateful recollections of the future I trust not the least grateful will be the memory of the evening we shall have passed in the presence of the Master and Wardens and Com pany of Merchant Tailors.—(Cheers.) Baron CHARLES DUPIN was also received with loud cheers. Ile addressed the company in English, and said—You have rendered it quite impossible for me to acknowledge the obligation I feel on behalf of myself and my fellow-Commissioners properly, by leaving me to suceeed one of your most eloquent statesmen, and fur this reason I pray your indulgence during the few words which I have to utter. I must express my grati tude to those eminent, energetic, and meritorious gen tlemen who, as commita ea of various nations, have made all the preparations necessary for this universal exposition. Afterwards I have to speak in the name of a large body of gentlemen selected by yourselves and by all other nations to sit as jurymen, in order that they may pronounce upon the degrees of merit of those masterpieces of art and industry which are now inclosed within the Crystal Palace. The gentlemen who have been thus selected are among the must cele brated in science, industry, and the fine arts ; and it is one of the finest and noblest spectacles to see the harmony that prevails amongst us, divided as we are into thirty juries, end all conducting their labours with the greatest harmony and equity in spite of the diversity of interests and nations. Now, turning my attention to yourselves —to this company—l have heard to-day that for five centuries you, as a corporation, have been faith fully cultivating those virtues which make a country prosperous—the activity, the property, and the genius which has produced the great British trade. Allow me to present to you one fact which may enable you to un derstand the magnificent point at which it has arrived in the present day. If you were to take all your textile fabrics which you produce for the clothing of mankind, and the value of the annual quantity which you send abroad to other nations, and then if you take the largest circumference of the globe and divide it by yards, you might not only put down 1/. sterling from the value of your textile fabrics upon each yard so circling the earth, but, atter the process was finished, there would still remain an enormous surplus over from the value of your fabrics. When I say this, Ido not mean , that your trade is too large, but that the dimensions of the earth are too small.—(Great laughter and cheering.) Now if thote 43 millions sterling—fur that is the amount I refer to—were placed in the Bank of England, in a few years probably the Bank would be much embarrassed by the management of such a mass of riches. But your trade does otherwise and better. In exchanging this enormous mass of British produce for an equal value of foreign produce, the products of every nation on the face of the earth are brought into Great Britain, and as no trade has over been so large and so active, so there never was a trade which produced so many and such powerful assurances of everlasting peace. I conclude by again returning thanks.—(Cheers.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in a few words, proposed " the Health of the Master."—(Loud cheers). The MASTER shortly returned thanks, and then pro posed the " Health of Dr. Ilessey, and the other mas ters of the Merchant Tailors' School."—(Cheers.) As a proof of the excellence of the training there adminis tered, he stated that at the recent examination fir ma thematical honours in Oxford, the first, second, and third prizes were carried off by Merchant Tailors' boys.—(Cheers). Dr. HESSEY retuned thanks. The MASTER then proposed " Earl Howe and the House of Lords." Earl HowE returned thanks. The MASTER then proposed the " Bishop of Oxford and the Bench of Bishops." The Bishop of OXFORD returned thanks. Something had been said in the course of the speeches of the anti quity and loyalty of this ancient company. He rejoiced that this company was also marked by another feature— by attachment to the Reformed Church of England, which taught the youth of this country to honour the Queen, as well as to fear God.—(Cheers.) He consi dered it a high honour to be permitted to meet around their hospitable board the representatives of the whole civilized world; and to him it was matter of no small gra tification that they met with no narrow or sectaria❑ pre judices; but that there were points o❑ which they all could meet on common ground, in an anxiety to advance the best interests of man.—(Cheers.) The other toasts were " Alderman Thompson and the House of Commons," " Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce," " The Judges." " The Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England," " The Governor and Deputy- Governor of the East India Company," a❑d "The Dean of Jersey and the Visitors ;" after which the company broke up. evening Sever a b l y glees,mr.

Law, the Rev. Vaughan Thomas, ill)., and William Sands Cox, F.R.S., the sum of 5001. towards the completion of the east wing of the quad rangle. lie has also augmented to 4,400/. his endowment for the professorship of pastoral theology, in addition to his former endowment of 4,0001. for the wardenship, the chap laincy of the college and the chaplaincy of the Queen's Hos pital, and 3,0001. for the endowment of medical scholarships, medical prizes, and a resident medical tutor. The Right Hon.

Dais to, ALAI lAto cut of Melli:lawn, Wilt:. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Yesterday morning her Majesty and Prince Albert resumed their inspection et the Crystal Palace and their reception of the exhibitors. They were attended in their survey by Mr. Dilke, Colonel Reid, Mr. Fox, and the other leading men connected with the Exhi bition, and proceeded first to view the Russian colloce tion, which was explained to them by M. Kaminsky, the Commissioner from that country. The Royal party admired exceedingly the very attractive and beautiful objects with which this compartment is fur nished, and the malachite ornaments, the display of plate and of jewellery, each in turn elicited from them • the highest expressions of praise. They then directed their steps to the section of machinery in motion, and proceeded with the inspection of a vast number of remarkable objects winch they bed not seen during their last visit. Here they were again attended by Mr. Cubitt and Mr. Hensman, who, with the exhibi tors themselves, explained to them the leading features of the different machines. Commencing with the tools exhibited by Whitworth, of Manchester, they spent some time in examining that really wonderful collec tion. They then passed in review the meritorious con tributions of Sharpe, the wire-drawing process of John son, Hicks's illustrations of the power obtainable by the hydraulic press-punch, the method of proving cast iron beams exhibited bar Cottam and Hallam, Ryder's remarkable machine for forging spindles, Holzapffel's ingenious specimens of turning in the lathe, Mauds lay' new coinin g p ress , b y w hi c h d ur i ng etheir stay some medals were struck, the fine models of marine engines by the same maker, and the rope-making machine exhibit e d b y Crawhall, of Newcastle, dis pensing with the long gallery hitherto required in that manufacture. The Royal party also paid marked attention to Lawson's extensive display of flax ma chinery, and to the beautiful specimens of linen which he produced as examples of its efficiency. The hemp machinery of Plumber was much noticed; and the canvas loom, with its products, exhibited by Mr. B. Browne. Passing by the lace and silk mach i nery in the meantime her Majesty and the Prince proceeded to inspect the printing presses; and here, of course, their chief attention was directed to Applegaesh' s in vention, which is exhibited by Mr. Ingram, of the Illustrated London News. They also greatly admired M'Clure's lithographic press, and the contributions of Napier, Waterlow, and others. It was half-past eleven o'clock before they took their departure from the building, and, as on previous occasions, they were most affable and condescending to the numerous body of exhibitors with whom they conversed. The weather was moderately fine yesterday, and after the disappointments of the two previous days it was anticipated that there would be an unusually large influx of people, but, strange to say, the police returns and the receipts at the doors both show a con siderable decrease as compared with Tuesday, the money taken being only 2,1601. 195., and the number of visitors 47,754. It is a singular fact that the only public attraction which seems to have any power in diminishing the tide of curiosity which has set in towards Hyde-park is that of a flower show. Epsom and Ascot exercised no perceptible influence in this respect, but the Chiswick fete on Saturday did, and again yesterday the display at the Botanical Gardens was strongly felt. Had it not been for this, the more genial weather, coupled with the leisure of holiday times, would no doubt have drawn increased instead of diminished numbers of visitors to the Exhibition. Undoubtedly, of late the popular element has been becoming more and more conspicuous among the throng of spectators, and there is no longer any diffi culty in finding among the vast concourse humble dresses and faces brown with exposure to the sun, and hands hardened by toil. Tne presence of mothers with their infants, too, and luncheons emerging from homely-looking baskets during the intervals of rest — these and a hundred other signs indicate that the ls. admission does not operate as a barrier to the curiosity of the industrial classes ; yet from some unexplained cause the masses have not yet presented themselves at the doors of the Crystal Palace, and the majority of those who go there still belong to the upper and middle ranks of life. It is almost incredible that the Whitsun holidays should have closed without the slightest detraction from the respectability of the Exhibition as a place of public resort, and that the actual number of visitors during a period when labour is released from its toil should show a positive decrease. Such, however, are the facts, and every body will explain them in his own way. Some will think that the display in Hyde-park is not popular. But an average of 50,000 spectators daily is altogether inconsistent with such an idea. In the minds of others it will be considered that the limit of the sight-seeing powers of the metropolis has been attained, and that greater crowds do not travel westward daily only because more cannot be spared from the diurnal cares and toils of a busy population. Here again, however, facts rise up to discredit such a theory. On Thursday last, there being no holiday, 55,000 people visited the Exhibition, and yesterday week there were 55,250, both larger numbers than the returns of the last three days, when so many of the working classes were disengaged, when excursion trains are coming in from all parts of the country, and when, according to immemorial custom, an irre sistible tendency is felt by the million to spend in pleasure and enjoyment a portion at least of their hard earnings. A vast acce:esion of visitors was ex pected, and their non-appearance would by many have been attributed to the weather merely had it not been for the experience of y esterday. What, then, is the explanation of this anomaly? We believe that a number of causes have been in operation, and among them the weather of course ; but the self-denying patience of the people, their habitual tendency to postpone pleasure to business, and their little inclina tion to rush madly forward in quest of what can be seen as well or better a week or a month hence — these seem to us the most natural and the truest solu tions of a result which surprises even the police.

VISITORS TO WESTMINSTER A BBEY.—During the first three days of the present holiday week upwards of 15,000 persons have visited Westminster Abbey, for the purpose of inspecting the interior of that magnificent temple, and the many splendid monuments with which it abounds. The visitors have behaved in the most decorous mpaanni g the e n r, and h ave wandered through the isles of the Abbey, y b th e a otrined str i c t es t attention to the wor ks of art which h ave been pre sented to their view , a circumstance which show' s pub lie buildings of all class es mi g ht, with advant age , at stated periods , and under p ro p er re g ulat ions. The opened visi tors to the Abbey a re allowed to ro am where they please, w ith the exception of Henry the Seventh's Chapel, admis sion to which has bee n fix ed at 6 d. each person. Cigars are now tipped with amber at the end next the mouth ; by this means cigar -tubes are quite superseded. This invention has proved itself the great es t luxury yet *zed ty Aratltim ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY'S FETE. Yesterday, the second flower show of the Royalßotanio Society, which is the grand fête of the season, was held at the gardens in the Regent's-park. It has become so common, in speaking of this establishment, to say that each show is the best there has ever been, that it must almost be expected the phrase is worn out, and yet wo must still use it, for such are the efficts of competition that each fete presents a visible progress of the floricul tural arts. When the society was first established it was supposed the height of luxury in cultivation had been attained; and in the early shows there was some. times an inferiority on particular occasions, but by the application of the largely increased prize fund, and the greater public brought in as spectators, such a stimulus has been given as to make it almost a matter of course some strong evidence of im provement Should manifest itself at each display. The tents were in three groups, forming three centres of attraction. On the west, near the American exhibition, was a tent with stove and greenhouse plants, in which were most remarkable the collections of Mrs. Lawrence, Lady Autrobus, and Miss Traill. These were pictu resquely grouped, and a new arrangement of turf banks having been introduced by the Curator for their display, a very beautiful coup d'xil was presented. On the north. behind the grand conservatory were three tents, in which were the orchideous collections, the heaths, and the pelargoniums. The beauty and variety of the or chideous collections immediately struck the spectator, and near them was a remarkable group of pitcher plants, contributed by Messrs. Veitch, of Exeter. The pelar goniums were in admirable condition, and were the sub ject of just admiration. On the east side of the garden was the fruit tent, in which the productions were in the finest condition. Tho pines were well grown, the grapes large, the strawberries ofgreat size and well-flavoured, while the tropical fruits showed great progress. Con spicuous among these were the vanilla and the cycas re volute. The roses exhibited in this tent had suffered by the late unfavourable weather. Besides the special exhibitions of the day the others attracted the attention of the visitors. The American exhibition was in the full flush of beauty, and presented a scene from fairyland. In order to afford better views of the exhibition, Mr. Marnock has constru c t e d a covered urded . T gallery, he e f x r u o exhibitors, i t w o h r s l c , h severalMessrs.

The great conservatory was specially ar ranged for the occasion with large groups of flowers. Although the weather was far from agreeable, and the anticipated number of visitors did not attend, there, was not less than fifteen or sixteen thousand, a larger number than ever assembled on such an occasion. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Messrs. Tutton, Waddell, and Grattan Cooke, with t i neir three bands, and gave great satisfaction. The numerous foreign visitors were justly surprised at the extraordi nary culture of the plants, but more particularly at a re union of fashion, wealth, and beauty which no other country can present, and which on few other other oc casions has been surpassed. The total number of tickets sold to the present time is 31,000. LIST OF PRIZES.

THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS AND THE ME TROPOLITAN CLERGY.—The A rc hd eac on of Middlesex has addressed the following note to those cf the clergy of the diocese of Lond on who are within his jurisdiction, on the subject of se wers rate on rent charges , Bcc.,in the me tropolis: " Kensingt on Vi carage, J une , 1851.—Reverend and deer Sir, --As your parish is within the limits of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers, I think it right to inform you that I lately observed a sudden, and, as I conceived, an exorbitant increase in the demand made upon me on account of sewers rate. Having understood that this additional demand was not made upon myself alone, but generally upon the clergy of the metropolis holding rent charges or glebe lands, I determined to resist it, and I availed myself of the ablest professional advice. The result is that this charge has been r educed, and I have drawn your attention to the subject in the hope that if you are subjected to the same grievance, you may have the satisfaction of obtaining the same redress.—Believe me to be, reverend and dear air, yours very faithfully, j omN SiN cLATR , ?lA., Archdeacon of Middlesex."
