SUDBROOK-PARK HYDROPATHIC ESTABLISHMENT. —On Tuesday evening last an elegant soirée was given by Dr. Ellis, the proprietor of this establishment, at which many members of the aristocracy and a large concourse of the neighbouring gentry were present. The beautiful and extensive grounds were laid open on the occasion, and being only divided by a wire fence from Richmond-park, the en•• livening strains of the military band attracted great num bers from the neighbouring villages. The exquisitely spread table of innocent cates, choice fruits, and other delicacies was adorned by a profusion of decanters of all colours, in viting a trial of their contents. But, though filled from the limpid stream, the merry countenances of the guests gave ample testimony that they did not require the generousjuiee of the grape to aid their enjoyment. The company sepa rated at about eleven o'clock. [ADVERTISEMENT.]--BOTANIC WATER AND BEARS' GREASE. - When the hair is becominc , thin, and fall ing otl; the only effectual remedy, b es id es shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alter nately, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as -a stimulant, and the bears' grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bears' grease for renovating and preserving the.hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtainel by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer. —Ross & Sows, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London, who first ictroduced the use of bears' grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtain ing a spurious article. HULL, JUNE 9.—The Swan, arrived here from Greenland, left on the 20th May, and reports as follows : May 4.

IMPORTATION OF SUGAR FROM FRANCE.—A vessel has jut arrived in the docks from Dunkirk, having on board 5,135 bags of sugar, and comprising the entire cargo, and consigned to order. This is the first instance of a cargo of sugar (doubtless the produce of a more distant part of the globe) having been imported from France since the repealed laws of navigation and importation came into operation, which now readers such an arrival admissible for consump tion in this country. This importation was further of in terest, as being an instance of a British vessel having been employed for purposes not previously allowed. SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT.--On Monday afternoon, be• tween three and four o'clock, a scaffold, on which seven men were employed, at the new buildings, Oalthorpe-street, Camden-town, suddenly gave way, and the whole of them were hurled to the ground from a height of thirty feet. A quantity of building material tell at the same time, and they were burned beneath it. A number of men set to work, and the poor fellows were speedily extricated. Mr. Palsgrave, the builder of Ebury.street, sustained a fracture of both legs. Three of the workmen are so dreadfully injured that there are no hopes of their recovery. The remainder, escaped with a few bruises. DESTRUCTIVE FIRR AT BRISTOL.—An extensive and destructive fire, which. placed the ancient parish church of St. James, Bristol, in considerable peril, broke out on Sun day morning.last upon an extensive range of premises on St. James' Church Parade in that city, in the occupation of Mr. Stone, silversmith and pawnbroker. These premises, the eastern end of which is built against the western wall of the church, were first discovered to be on fire soon after 8 o'clock by the policeman on the beat, and be immediately gave an alarm and caused the city engine and the engines of the different fire-Offices . to be brought to the spot. The com bitStible nature of a large portion of the stock . on , the premises, and than part of the warehouse hiving a great amount of timber in their structure, caused the fire tb burn with such intensity , as to render it speedily apparent that any efforts to save the bulk of the building would be 'utile, and the exertions of the persons assisting were conse quently directed to pieserving the premises connected on either side, which fortunately. escaped with slight damage; but, although the most strenuous exertions were made, the fire could not be got under until the whole of the' warehouses with a valuable stock of clothes and an immense number of pledges of various kinds belonging to poor persons, had been destroyed. The persevering efforts used by the firemen and police constables were successful in preserving the church and a front shop, in which fortunately the greater part of the stock of plate and watches had been deposited. The loss is variously estimated at from 5,000'. to 10,000/. Mr. Stone is insured for the premises and stock in two different in sprance offices, but the poor persons who own the pledges Will have to suffer the loss of all differences between the value of their pawns and what they have received' by way of loan upon them. - •CONSRCRATION Or ST. BARNABAS CHURCH AND COLLEGE, Piotuoo.—On Tuesday one of the most re markable churches ever erected in the metropolis was con secrated by the Bishop of London, in the presence of the Bishops of Oxford, Salisbury, and Brechin, Archdeacons Thorpe, Manning. and ,Harrison,. the. Rev. Dr. Pusey, the Rev. \V. Sewell, the Rev. J. Keble, and upwards of 200 other clergymen connected withwhat is usually termed the High Church party, all of whom appeared in full canonicals, And presented a very imposing appearance. There were also present the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Nelson, Lord Campden, Lord Fielding, L'ird Castlereagh, Sir John Harrington, Bart., Lord John Manners, M.P., Mr. J. B. Hope, M.P., Mr. Bram ston, M.P., and other noblemen and gentlemen. The new church and college of St. Barnabas are situate in that part of Pimlico which abuts upon : Chelsea, and have long been looked upon with much interest. The internal decorations of the Church are of the most superb description, the chan cel being in appearance not unlike that of the Roman Catholic cathedral ln St. (4 'eOrge's - •field4:' Under the east ern part of the chancel is a crypt, of a very curious construe- The windows of the church are of an elaborate cha racter, "and have been filled with stained glass at an expense of magy hundred pounds: The altar, the font, the vessels, the illuminatedoffiee, books for the service of the altar, 'the vestments,: the corona lucis on the altar, the eagle of brass, together with many costly ornaments, are the gifts of pri vate individuals. The first stone 'of the college was laid on St. 13arnabas Day., 1846, by .the Marquis of Westminster, who gave the site bath for ,the church and college. It is in tended to educate choristers and other youths in the college, and to establish a body of sisters of mercy for parochial visiting. The church is intended to be entirely free, without pews or paid Seats: Full choral service was - performed by the Rev. T. Helmore and the boys of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, after which a sermon was preached by the Bishop of Lodon. The consecration services are to be continued during the week, the sermons to be preached by the Bishop of Ox ford, Dr. Pusey. Archdeacon Manning, the Rev. W. Sewell, and the Rev. E. Bennett. It is understood that Mr. A. J. B. Hope, M.P., has been one of the principal contributors to wards the new church and eellege of st. Barusbas. LONDON, THURSDAY LITERATURE THE DA iTONS. No. 11. By Charles Lever. Our acquaintance with the fictttious characters of the narrative is extended in this number to the family of the Onslows. Sir Stafford Onslow, being ill, is hid fora while from our observation, but we obtain some familiarity with the dispositions of his wife, Lady Hester Onslow, of his children, George and Sydney, and of Dr. Grounsell, his old college mate and physic;an. Little Hans gets almost killed by trying to rescue one of Ellen Dalton's wooden figures from destruction. Colonel Haggerstone ob tains an interview, anti afterwards cultivates an in timacy with Lady Hester; and the latter personage, by way of dissipating the ennui of her monotonous life at Baden, on going out one stormy night to pay a visit of charity to Hans Itoeckle, finds herself sud denly and unexpectedly in the midst of the family of the Daltons. Here the eighth chapter terminates. SOUTIIEY' S LIFE AND CORRE SPOND ENCE. Vol. IV. Between 1813 and 1819, or, in other words, between the thirty-ninth and forty-sixth years of Robert Southey's life, the correspondence compressed into the present volume is comprised. Obviously, therefore, the interest of the work displays in this the latest in etalment of it a very perceptible increase, the curiosity of the reader being of count enhanced proportionately. Io 1813, fur example, we can trace through his letters the progress of his poem of Roderick," and of his splendid biography of the immortal Nelson. It is then, also, that we can watch the effects pro duced upon him by his appointment to the office of Poet Laureate. In 1814 and 1815 he writes a variety of odes as Laureate., and dreams of a variety of literary undertakings. So on throughout the subsequent years alluded to, we can distinctly trace the growth of his intellect, the development of his fancy, and the fluctuations of his ambition. Many interesting revelations start upon us, here and there, throughout the correspon dence. Thus we are interested to hear, from Southey himself, when speaking of James Montgomery's new poem, in 1813, that he himself had once planned a poem on the Deluge. Again, it is with some sort of surprise, and almost of incredulity, that we learn from a letter, written by Southey, to Walter Savage Landor, of a comedy, written by that veteran conver sationalist. Fancy a comedy by the author of the Hellenics I As yet, of course, the manuscript of it has never passed through the hands of the typographer. Southey's pilgrimage to Waterloo is an entertaining episode in the narrative, a narrative uneventful, like almost all the lives of men celebrated in literature. So also is the account of his tour to Switzerland in 1817, prior to which we find him tempted by the offer of a lucrative appointment connected with the Times newspaper. Intimations are given here and there throughout the correspondence of the effects made upon Southey and his brother lakers by. Lord Byron's formidable hostility. The work altogether promises more and more favourably for itself, as a valuable contribution of materials for the future historian of English literature. A NARRATIVE OF ARCTIC DISCOVERY. By John J. Shillinglaw. Most happily timed, considering the interest in spired as to the fate of Sir John Franklin, whose engraved likeness is prefixed to the volume as its most appropriate frontispiece, this narra tive of Arctic discovery extends from the earliest period to the present. Besides this, it comprises many copious details of the measures adopted by her Majesty's Government for the relief of the missing expedition. The whole history (in itself a glorious episode in our maritime annals) is penned by Ar. Shillinglaw in a style calculated to secure to it a large amount of popularity. The retrospect recedes to that remote period when distinct details become imperceptible, and the records of the human race lose themselves in the "twilight of fable." The author descants in an agreeable mood of antiquarian gossip upon the results of Scandinavian enterprize, and upon the possibility of those northern barba rians having discovered the American continents previous to the birth of Columbus. We cannot, however, but think that Mr. Shillinglaw has been rather too discursive in his introductory chapters, al though those chapters peculiarly display his many qualifications to become the historian of Arctic dis covery. In the form of an appendix we have a sort of tabular catalogue of the various expeditions sent out by England between 1818 and 1850. For ex ample, we have Sir John Ross's expeditions of 1818 and 1829, Captain Buchan's expedition of 1818, Si r W. E. Parry 's expeditions of 1819, of 1821, of 1824, and of 1827, Sir John Franklin's expeditions of 1819, of 1825, and of 1845, from the latter of which he has never yet returned, Sabine and Clevering's ex pedition of 1822, Lyon's expedition of 1824, Beechy's expedition of 1825, Back's expeditions of 1833 and of 1836, Mqore's expedition of 1848, Kellett's of 1848, Sir James Clark Ross's of 1848, Saunders's of 1849, and the two new expedi tions of 1850, one under Austin, the other under Collinson. In all, twenty-one are enumerated, and the author thus significantly closes his narrative of these extraordinary undertakings by saying— " We could earnestly hope that, should it please the Almighty to send back the gallant Franklin and his de voted crews in safety, England will be careful of again risking the lives of her adventurous sons in further at tempts to discover what cannot be looked upon in any other light than thht of a geographical ignis fatuus, THE NORTH-WEST PASSAGE." Whether that aspiration be realised or not, we cannot but think, for our own part, that all efforts in the way of prosecuting Arctic discovery must con tinue, as heretofore, fruitless of all happy or valuable results, and the certain means of renewing again and again a feeling of scientific disappointment. AN ARCTIC VOYAGE TO BAFFIN'S BAY AND LANCASTER SOUND. By R. A. Goodsir. An appropriate companion to the work just criti cised, this interesting and brilliant volume possesses other attractive characteristics such as must secure to it an immediate, though it may not be very perma nent popularity. As the record of one of the latest ex peditions in search of Sir John Franklin and his com panions, the book before us demands an attentive perusal, and we doubt not but that it will afford its readers a more vivid notion of the aspect and pecu liarities of the northern regions than could be ac quired by them from any previous work of a similar description. What strikes us as the most conspicuous merit of the present narrative, in truth, is that evidence which is visible in every sentence and expression that it is a faithful delineation of nature under an un wonted aspect, the delineation being invested with the warmth of novelty and the distinctness of a punctilious similitude. - What is de scribed by Mr. Goodsir is described by him not from hearsay, not on the authority of another, not second-hand—but from the individual recognition of the features and peculiarities of those wonderful regions of everlasting winter. What is yet more, Mr. Goodsir has not given us the lukewarm Orchaufee of a few scattered reminiscences—be has written down his narrative, chapter by chapter, up on occasion, in all the h ea t of first impressions. Hear him telling of the strange habits of the whale, and you will at once feel that he writes with the fervour of a spec tator. " The deep boom of their blowings," he, says in one part, " resound through the still air like the distant bellowing of a ,herd of wild bulls. My ears should have been pretty well accustomed now to the blast of the whales, but it was not until this time that I ever bad noticed the pecu liar hollow boons of their voice, if voice it may be cAled." Again, it is with an unusual animation of style'that he writes as follows:-- _ . ." I have noticed a peculiarity about the whale, that if there is a piece of ice within sight it will run towards it, and come to the surface beside it. And when beside a floe, it always rises beside its edge, and never appears at any distance from it. And, moreover, it there should be a crack or bight in the floe, it is ten chances to one it will rise to blow in it, in preference to the outer edge of the floe. This is well known to the whalers. Such a crack being now opposite to us, and at such a di-tance from where the whale was last seen, it was likely she would rise there next, and we pulled towards it. Here we lay for some minutes in breathless expectation, our oars out of the water, and the harpconer silently motion ing with his hand to the boat-steerer which way to scull.' Up in the very head of the crack the water was now seen to be circling and gurgling up. There's . her eddy,' quietly whispers our barpooeer. ' A couple of strokes now boys—gently—that'll do.' Looking over my shoulder, I could see first the crown, then the great black back of the unsuspecting whale, slowly emerge frOm the water, contrasting strangely with the bright white and blue of the ice on each side—then followed the roar of her -. blast. Bat short with sure aim and s in g l e i b ri r d e e at , c h r i i n h g ab t l i e m , li h u a rs d t l s i h ng e—fur, tug of his trigger string, the keen iron was sent deep in behiud her fin. Harden up, boys I' be cries, and the boat is pulled right on to the whale, when be plunges the hand- hirpoon deep into her back, with two hearty digs. The poor brute quivered throughout, and for a second or two lay almost motionless; then diving, and :hat with such rapidly increasing speed, that the line was whirled out of the boat like lightning. The mutt' signals were now made to the other boats that we were fist,' " For the first few minutes the lines were allowed to run out with.,ut interruption, then, one, two, three turns, were successively thrown round the bollard.' This had the dr' ct of stopping her speed somewhat, but the line still ran out with a great strain. The boat's bow was fireibly pressed against the ice, and crushed through the under washed ledge, to the solid floe beyond ; the har pooner sitting upon his thwart,' allowing the lines to run through his hands, which were derended by thick mitts : stopping the progress of the fish as much as he could, as the rest of the boats were still some distance from us. Every few minutes the fish seeming to start off as with renewed strength, the boat's bow would be pulled downwards, threatening to pull us bodily under the floe. But then allowing the line to run out, the strain was partly removed, and the boat's head again ruse, but only to be again dragged downwards. Upwards of twenty minutes had elapsed since we had 'got fast,' and the strain now began to slacken, but it was lull time— wewere drawing nigh the bitter end.' The welcome sound of a gun was heard, and in a few seconds, looking down the edge of the floe, we could see one of our boats, with the well-known blue Jack' flying. A few fathoms more of line were rapidly drawn out, and rhen the strain as suddenly ceased. We commenced hauling them in, and whilst doing so, could see a third boat 'get fast.' The rest of the boats were now at hand, and as she ap peared at, the surface, closely surrounded her, and busily plied her with their lances. It was in about an hour and a half from the time we first struck her, that we heard the distant cheers anneuneing her death. From the time the second boat had got fast we bad been busily engaged hauling in our lines, and thus slowly approaching the cluster of boats round the dying whale. But long ere we had finished this they had succeeded in killing her, and she was lying safe and sound, made fast to the edge of the floe. The boats now collected and prepared to tow the dead fish to the ship. This was eves more tedious than hauling in the lines, but as I had volun teered to take my place in 2 boat, I said not a word, but tugged away at my oar in silence." With similar felicity of pen- sketching, our voyager depicts the other phases of Arctic enterprise, the rigour of the climate, and the occasional splendour of the frozen seas and the frozen atmosphere. A pleasant air, moreover is diffused over the whole narrative from the prevailing good t; mper and unruffiable bon hommie in which it is written. Either the author must have a capital digestion, or the northern circle must hate a most exhilarating influence; for, through out the entire. volum?, we can find no despondence, no blue-devilry, no solitary token of submission to the sway of the most evanescent melancholy. The work is a healthy effusion, thoroughly in earnest upon its subject, and replete with materials for entertain ment and for mental speculation. We commend it especially to the scrutiny of all those who are in terested in the fate of the missing expedition. BANKERS' MAGAZINE. The number for the present month contains articles on the " Proposed Savings Banks Reform," the " Sale of Encumbered Estates in Ireland," the "Proposed Alteration of the Law affecting Banking in India ;" a second letter on " Joint-Stock Management," treating of the appointments in banks ; and a continuation of the consideration of the Report of the Bullion Committee of 1810, together with a paper detailing the law relating to the acceptance of bills of exchange. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. This able periodical for 'June contains more than an average quantity of useful and amusing informa tion. The first paper gives .an instructive and inter esting account of " The Wonders of Modern Loco motion." The details appear to have been extracted from a work by Dr. Lardner, entitled " Railway Economy; a Treatise on the new Art of Transport, its Management, Prospects, and RelAtions, Commer cial, Financial, and Social, Ste." According to the calculations supplied in this wo r k, i t wou ld ap pear that in .1849 there were in operation in different parts of the globe, a total length of 18,656 miles of rail way, on which a capital of 365,567 had been expended, and that when the lines in progress of construction shall be brought into operation, the population of Europe and the United States will have completed, within:a period of less than a quarter of a century, 26,485 miles of railway—a greater length than would surround the globe, at the prodigious cost of above five hundred million sterling !! ! "Maurice Tierney, The Soldier of Fortune," is continued. The next paper, " On Government-,-by A Liberty B o y," i s very ably and e l a b o r a t e ly written ; but the writer appears to have fallen into the very error which he so touchingly and powerfully deplores and condemns— " Dung vitant stulti cilia in contraria currunt." The learned and graceful contributors to the Uuiver sity cannot be classified under the poet's category; but while he devotes considerable space to show that the repeal of the corn-laws has not lowered th e p r i ce of bread to th e man y, and still feelingly laments the want of a practical application of good government to the great and admitted evils of our social and political polity, we cannot help feeling that he has unwittingly fallen into, not the opposite extreme, but the very error which be condemns in such singularly happy terms. If "Billy Malowney's Taste of Love and Glory" will not exercise the risible muscles of its readers, Punch must set to work at once to invent a new screw. "The Revolutionism of Mirabeau :" this sketch of this ex t raor di nary b e i ng i s characteristic, it is strong and graphi c , an d ex hibit s a mos t vigorous power of antithesii. " Sonnets on France," by B. B. Feltus, are d escr i pt i ve o f several st i rr i ng epochs in the history of France from the middle ages to the Presi dency. " Private Theatricals—Moore—Miss O'Neil —Chief Justice Buahe ;" a Chapter from " The Do mestic History of Ireland." Our space will not, we regret, permit us to do justice to this deeply interest ing paper, nor to the other important and clever con tributions which compose the present number. The closing papers are—" Embassy to Japan," " An Af ternoon with the Italians," " A Night in the Bell Inn," " Grote's History of Greece," " Love," " A Taste of French Theatricals," with a very useful and copious index. _EVENIN'G, JUNE 13, 1850. 111 USIC. THE ART OF SINGING. By D. Crivelli Third . Edition. The name of Signor Crivelli,already so highly dis tinguished in this country, is a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the work before us. Two editions have preceded it, but this is the finishing stroke to all the previous labours of this great master of the vocal art. We must congratulate all.lovers of this delight ful branch of music on now possessing a complete book of instruction, in which not only is there a full explanation of the proper method for the certain de velopment of the vocal powers, but at the seine time every possible care is taken to point out those rocks and shoals upon which so many who have shown early and undoubled promise of excellence have been wrecked. This work, the result of thirty-eight years' experience, as stated in the dedication to that first of amateurs, the Earl of ,Westmorland, commences with some very interesting general observations. These are followed by a table of voices, showing the defects existing in almost every description before cultivation. It is in it i n or d er t h a t th e stu dentself may a c y om t.u p i l i e y te analysis, comprehend the subject, we have a section of the human head, exhibiting the vocal organs, by means of which a full and clear exposition is given of their construction and action. The gene ral observations require every attention, they are replete with instructive matter, and contain much worthy of deep refl ec ti on and study both to the master and student ; and from these we are led to their practical application in the exercises and scales that follow. These exercises and scales are progressive from the sustained sound to the most rapid divisions, commencing with the chromatic—the running chro matic fun damental; these are followed by exerc i ses f orme d on t h e different b acing all th e ornamen t a l charac ters an i d nte the ry diatonic, which m ay b e considered which are introduced in music, which are made subservient not only to the development of the powers of the vocal organ, but also to instruct the student in their proper reading, by means of which the greatest expression may be given to the various passages in mus ic. When the voice has been sufficiently formed, it becomes necessary to initiate the pupil in combin ing language with the music. For this purpose solfeggi have been always employed.

KINSON.-EXTRAORDINARY ATTAC Z ON A CHILD. —A few days since, the parish of Kinson was thrown into some consternation in consequence of an atta c k ma d e on a little girl about t we lve years old by a donk e y b elonging to a man named Ho o p er .

County Gazette. STATE OF TRADF._MANCHESTER, JUNE 11.--The letters per Hibernia, Boston mail steamer, of the 29th ult., came to hand this morning. The adv ices concerning the growing cotton crop are no wise improving, yet the markets of the Union have generally declined, owing to a pressure for money and the paucity of foreign orders, excepting at rates lower than those previously current. In consequence of these advices and less activity in the Liverpool market we have had but a quiet market here to-day; yet, stocks being low, prices ar e genera lly fi r m for both cloth and yarn, and buyers appear to h o ld large orders. Domestics and heavy cloths, which have been so long depressed, have materially improved, which is an encouraging feature. Low printers are still in demay,d and obtain the same prices.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT RACES.—WEDNESDAY. Although 0x1.23's true and cornet list" registered seven events f .r decision, three of which reckoned among their entries several horses of high character or pretel sionr, this tlay was, cccording ti precedent, a compara tively blank one, as far as attendance way concerned. The exce‘Asive brightness cf the early part of the morn ing, wni'Jh induced false anticipatkns ef a wet after noon, al‘no militated in a measure against the attendance; and hence the muster in the Grand Stand ciemprised very few more than the visitors in the immediate neighbour hood, and the "regulars," who, having become from the Epsom experience " sadder but wiser men," did not, as yesterday, enter on speculation with any great gusto. The Coronation Stakes were looked upon very generally as a mere return match" between the first and second for the " thousand guineas," the Newmarket decision of wEieh was confirmed, in spite of the 31b extra which it entailed on the Exotic filly. At the stand the three were nearly level, but Clelia eventually wrested the second place from Tiff; who was notnionsly amiss. Retail's number was exhibited on the telegraph among the starters for the Queen's Plate, and Merson went to ne- tint him, but, for some reason which did not tran spire, he was sent back to his stable. The pre-fge of the Concertina colt end Cariboo had the effect of eli minating 25 out of the 30 that appeared on the card for tho Windsor Stoker; the former was however in trouble et the stand, and a neautifal and lengthened struggle be tween tho latter and Thistledown resulted iu the first dead heat cf the meeting. Thistledown afterwards walked over, and the stake was divided. Mildew, al though strongly fancied in the ring, was, like Old Col lingwood, "nowhere" for the Hunt Cur, which, as usual, produced a very large field of starters. The Receipt filly made a shocking example of Prestige, and a walk over, a: on Tuesday, was the wind up to a capital day's racing.

Notwithstanding 'the (lull and foreboding state of the weatheryesterdiiy, the third of. the flower shows.of the • ROyal Botanic Society was most brilliantly attended. Some thousands of visitors were present, and the gar dens, between the hours of four and five, presented a very gay and animated appearance. A more magni ficent array of fashion was never congregated at these reunions, iully proclaiming the reputation in which this charming place of resort is held, and the aristocratic and fashionable character of the patronage that it now enjoys. Among the company were their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and the Princ e ss Mary, attended by Lady Augusta Gordon, the Baroness Ahlefeldt and Mr. Edmund Mildmay; the Spanish, Danish, Prussian, Portuguese, Mexican, and Turkish Ambassadors, with their respective suites; the Duke of Wellington and Duke of Norfolk; the Marquis of Sligo and Marquis of Ailesbury; the Earl of Egremont and Earl of Rosebery; Lord Walsiughem; Baron Colborn, Baron Blayney and Baron Goldsmid; the Archbishop of Canterbury; the Bishop of Durham and the Bishop of Winchester; Sirs—E.

But there seemed but little exception to the splendour and beauty of the specimens; indeed, a finer and more copious col lection has never before been exhibited. The pelargo niums were in the highest degree of r edection, and great number of varieties were shown. The other felt tares of the exhibition wero Alpine plants, Cape heaths, greenhouse ezzlies, British and exotic ferns, orchidacem, fuchsias, verbenas, cacti, roses, pinks, &c., besides the American plants, and a large display of pine-apples, grapes, and other fruits.

The ninth anniversary festival of this glorious insti tution was held yesterday at the Albion Tavern, Alders gate-street; Lord Feveraham in the chair, supported by Lord Saye and Sale, C. G. Dupre, M.P., S. C. Hall, Esq. About 100 gentlemen sat down to a very sump tuous dinner, and the new gallery was graced by the presence of a large number of ladies. The chairman made a very eloquout appeal on behalf of the institu tion, which was substantially responded to, the amount of donations and subscription announced being 2,150/. Among the subscriptions were those of Lord Fevers ham, 1001.; Sir Henry Foulis, 1001.; John Ball, Philip Rose, Esq., 1001 ; the Rev. A. EL Douglas Robert Fox, Eq., 1001.; George Vaughan, Eiq., 100/.; Thomas Lowndee, Esq., 1001.; George Bartlett Hart, E q.,100/.; W. Talton Egerton, Esq, 50/.; H. E. Norton, Esq., 50/.; D. Forbes, 501. Mr. Toole officiated as toastmaster. From the report it appears that during the past year no less than 260 in-patients lave heed received within the walls of tie hospital, beivg an increase of 78 over the number admitted in the precedingye l r. Th e number of out-patients treated during the p as t y i ar h as been 3.176, being an increuset a f n 3 y 7 o l f o t v h e e r se thei i patients,uin br howevertreated in the preceding year; m continua under g treatment many mont h s, and theover! nors will be the better able t o j u d ge of the extent of re lief afforded in this department when it is stated that the number of prescriptions actually dispensed during the past Sear to the outpatients a l one has amounted to 26,956. Notwithstanding these encouraging proofs of the value of the charity, the comtnitte3 cannot conceal from the governors the deep causes of anxiety to which they are exposed, Owing to the large arrear of patients constantly waiting their turn for admission, and who are "Pc"'wnY delayed from the want of adequAl room in the present building. .OP IN TELLIGENCE.—Tne hops generally in Kent wok of a healthy green colour, and exhibit also great clearness. l hey are rather backward for the season, but have made extraordinary way within the last fortnight.. In Mr. Gurney's ground, near Maidstone, the bines are already topping 14 poles, and in many other grounds they may be seen, here and there, standing out from the poll-tops like so many reconnoitering snakes. The plant is evidently full of life and vigour. The "lady birls" are starving for want of aphidee. On the Wea!d clays, an inferior ground is a rarity, and although many of the broadest leaves have been riddled by the flea, there are plenty left to gather the neces sary carbon from the atmosphere. Notwithstanding all these favourable appearances, however, the old adage must be borne in mind— " Till St. James's day is come and g one, There may be hops, and there may be none." All that we can do is to state what is, leaving what may be the firsts this peculiar n instance t a h n t a e e to future reports.--Maidstone Gazette. IRISH ICE. —A v es sel arrived i n the river from Waterford, Dublin , and Belfast, respectively, has parcel of ice from the first-mentioned p o rt , as a portion of a o v f e rya•nl argeimportation cargo of t a lrish iiinu produce. plaee h from Ireland f article of merchandise. LABOUR AND THE POOR. Lat night a me,titg of a very singularandcuri curious character took p!ao- at tl;e National H u ll, Bolborn , was a meeting called by Mr, Mayhew, the metropolitan correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, of colter mongers, street-sellers, juggler% _ standing paterrers, street performers, fly ins stationers, and 'labourers.. For som e ti me b e , ore the d oors o f t h e b a ll were opened, large groups of men of the above callings were to be seen in Holborn inquiring one of another the ob ject of the meeting. At the hour appointed, half-past eight, the proceedings commenced ; the side gal leries of the hall were filled with costermongers; the end gallery was oecupied by the street performers and stationers; •and the assemblage in the body of the ball was composed of barrow-men: altogether, we should imagine. there were about 500 persons present ' - On the platform. among other notables present, we noticed many well-known London Characters, viz., the tall man who relates en blidlesii variety of Conundrums in our leading thoroughfares; the Highland dancer, in costume, the Fre nch pabher, the man who vends the wonderful soap, which is warranted to take out grease stains, tar stains, wine stainf, Sm. &c. The entraixe ut Mr. Nlii.)ht.w %as the signal .lor mo,t vociferous cheering. Mr. MAYIIEW, advancing to the front of the platform, said, Gentlemen, my obj ect i n ca lli ng you la.re to-night is to enable you to rush., a statement, in the mast unre served manner, of the difficulties that you encounter in ob . :lining a living by vending articles in the street. I assure you. my only motive is to hear your hardships;-abd to place them be'ore the world, that the higher classes may kr.ow something of the miseries endured by people of your class. I have not been sent here by Govern ment, by Sir Robert Pee!, or any other person; but ibis meeting is called by me, the cards were issued by my direction,.the hell is paid for by me, and if there are any policemen present, they have no more right to be here than they have to be in my private house. I can honestly say, I-believe the meeting to be entirely free from their presence. ,I implore you to keep order. I knOw you can do so. W e shall thetrarrive at something that may tend to alleviate your hardship. I tall upon the delegate of stationers to come on the 'platform and address you. A very intelligent looking man here appeared and addressed the meeting. He said—Five-and-twenty years ago I first. made my appearance in the, streets of London, and I can assure you the streets were then widely diffetent from what they are at present. My first tffort was to recite in public-housea, for I have re ceived the education of a gentleman; but that was not to my liking. I then turned penny-showman. This mode I adopted for ten years. This did not suit me, and I tried every thing that my ingenuity or imagination could suggest. It there are any old moo here, I dare say they eau recollect, years that have long gone by, the man who first sold the little silver spoons made to*go through the eye of a needle. I am that man. Of the misery and privation that I have endured, no person bpt men'of " our class" can imagine. For weeks, aye, for months, has the dry arc h es o f W a te r l oo bridge been my only s helter. Am I to be despised beCause - I 'prefer getting my living in the streets to going into the Work house? My own conscience tells me no; bat am I nbt so? We are driven and hunted about by the police like lc many wild beasts, and yet our only crime is to get breed for our starving families. The man then, in a 4 very feeling manner, implored the meeting to keep order, that a statement of their distresaes might go forth to the public, and, above all, to the higher classes, whereby they might be enabled to use their influence with men in power to help them in any possible manner. The ad dress of this m4n was listened to throughout with the most marked attentions The costerniongera' delegate then followed. He ad dressed the meeting to the same effect as the preceding speaker. The delegates from the street-performers,' labourers, barrowmen, and others followed, at the conclusion of which Mr. Mayhew briefly addressed them, imploring them to return peaceably to their homes. Thanks having been voted to Mr. Mayhew for his past exertions, the meeting peaceably dispersed. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. On Tuebday a Court was held at Guildhill, Mr. De• puty Peacock in the chair. THE GREAT CENTRAL GAS BILL. The REMEMBRANCER informed the Court that the Great Central Gas Company had carried into effect the various conditions required of them by the Corporation down to the present stage of the Bill in Parliament. Mr. Deputy. LlAnarsors said it was probable that on the next day of the meeting of the Court, he should form ally apply that the company be allowed at once to pro ceed with the operation of laying down their pipes within the City, in order that the inhabitants might as soon as possible be accommodated with gas upon the very favourable conditions to which such multitudes had sub scribed.—(Hear. hear.) After a conversation, in which several member& de clared that the company could produce the 75,0001. that had been stipulated for at any moment when it might be required, the conversation dropped.

FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT LEAMINGTON. —We regret to announce that a fire of very considerable magni tude broke out yesterday, at half-past one A.m., at the above. mentioned place. The premises, which were occupied by and the property of Mr. Dewier, upholsterer and cabinet maker, were completely burnt to the ground. Up to eleven o'clock yesterday morning, at which time our correspondent left Leamington, the engine continued to play on the smoking ruins. It is generally believed that damiage is done to the extent of 30,000/., whilst insurance is effected to the amount only of 5,0001. A poor fellow, a stranger to the town, whilst occupied in directing the hose of one of the engines, was struck down by an iron pillar, which fell on his head with tremendous force; he was immediately carried away, and and ve d n id try goo e nd . . we regret to say is since dead. The ;fire might h ave b een checked earlier, but for the inefficient state of the Leaming ton fire-engine, which was utterly out o f wor ki ng condition, e Warwick spot,and Co and when brought to the cortlagration was fou n d t o b e of gniontetsh,6e,esrlieg;hhteosiit.euyteirli::... promptly l'h on the service.

After some discussion, in which the director's urged the at once declaring the neces.ity o f putting the coin pans' in liquidation, with a view to dissolution, and the for mation of a new company if it should be deemed desirable, it was resolved to adjourn the meeting for a week, to await the t r h et e u r r r n ep o o f r e t a re p i t a a t i i n ve it t u o le t , h w e w he i n ne. be is expected to give a fur- Corawe su's INQUEST. —On Monday evening an in questpublic-housef,,,oirVandswortoh beft,re wa A s ir h . e l l ‘ q .
