You asked me to employ my rhyming quill, In writing you a line—and so I will; For I confess I'm in a disposition, To tell you something of the Exhibition. You're well aware that every public journal Has published sketches—weelfly and diurnal— And these said notices, you may rely, Had raised my expectation very high ; Yet, when I entered at the Palace door, This mighty-formed museum to explore, I must confess it filled me with surprise To see the various objects round me rise ; I stood awhile, and knew not "%hero to go, Or what to view, in this mysterious show ; I felt, in tact, a kind of thrilling awe, At what, in wonderment, I heard and saw ; While lofty elm trees waved with vernal green, And added nature to the varied scene; While living gardens showed their beauteous blooms, And lareathed around their exquisite perfumes; Ten thousand varied objects seemed to say, "Stay, curious stran4er, for a moment stay." The costly jewels glittered in their screen, And gave a lustre to the gorgeous scene ; Enormous statues proudly rose to viow, And lofty columns showed what mart could do ; The passing hours on massive bells were tolled, While heavy thunders from the organs rolled; And I beheld in each well-ordered part, The native samples of each nation's art; The models in their miniature displayed A pleasing group in this renowned arcade; While costly clocks from lofty galleries hung, And pendulums in ceaseless motion swung ; The gold and silver glittered in their case, And added lustre to the shining place. All I beheld was beautiful and good. And gazing on the scene I wondering stood. If I remember rightly, you inquire Concerning the materials for attire • And I, in answer, say that I beheld Such specimens as never were excelled. The manufacturers have really shown, A claim to praise, which all will freely own. But what I saw is neither more nor less, Than HYAIII manufactures in his dress ; The improvements here (which can't be over-rated) At HYAM'S Mart have been anticipated. No sooner are improvements brought about, Than lIYAM takes them up, and brings them out; Hence that celebrity which they have won, And hence the trade which they have ever done. These notions I've asserted all along, Nor have I here asserted what is wrong. When you to Paxton's Palace shall repair, And see the various things which I saw there, You'll have the same opinion, and confess, That in the various articles for dress, There's not a piece of cloth that caa outvie The excellence of lIYAM'S prime supply. lITAM and Co., Tailors, Clothiers, and Manufacturers.

Unreasonable people are complaining grievously of the present state of business; they say they can sell nothing, and get no orders ; others are going on as if trade was at its best, and doing more than their share. Those who are doing nothing, find various causes for their paucity of trade. One says it was the repeal of the corn-laws ; another says it is the Great Exhibition ; a third it is the Popish aggression ; a fourth it is the Kafir war ; a fifth that it is the state of France; and so they run the gauntlet through fifty alleged causes, while the right one is kept out of view altogether. Giles Go a-head built twelve houses, from which he was to derive his income, but being a whole year without letting one house, he considered himself a loser of six hundred pounds. London had overbuilt itself, too many people lived in one house. Everbody took lodgings to save taxes ; the window duty and twenty other causes passed throughGlles's mind ; but a neighbour took the liberty of calling his attention to the real one—they were ten pounds per annum too much rent. Giles took the hint, thought four hundred and eighty pounds was a better income than nothing, lowered the rent, and let them all immediately. Besides that, he found his four hundred and eighty pounds went quite as far as he once made six hundred go. And the real cause of a large class suffering for want of trade is, that they struggle against the change of system, they will stick for largo profits, and the day for large profits is gone by. Since E. MOSES and SON set the example of trading with large capital, and throwing all the advantages of that capital into the hands of the public by adopting small profits, it has opened the eyes of the public to theix true interest. Those who attempt to trade upon the old system gradually lose their enstomers ; but let any one step into the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON, will they see anything like a paucity of business there ? No. On the con trary, hundreds of hands are actively employed, there is an immense stock of the finest clothing in the world constantly going off, and as rapidly being ;replaced, aid all arising from their being content with small profits and turning out first-rate articles forty per cent. less than used to be charged under the old system. It is nei ther the Papal Aggression, suer the repeal of the Corn-laws, nor the Great Exhibition, nor the Kafir war, nor the state of France, that makes business with so:aae people bad. It is the folly of attempting to keep up the system of large profits. Trade has had a shock, but it was electric, and should have been, and would have been, benefi cial to all alike, had all acted properly ; but those only who, at once, like E. MOSES and SON, adopted the system of small profits on good articles, and Large returns, reaped the advantage of the change, and the public will stand by them who set the example. This Establishment will be closed on Friday next, June 6. A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application. The new edition of ".

The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy of this medicine : " Winchmore Hill, Middleser, April 16, 1851. Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothiag to equal it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and ars a pleasant, safe, easy apperient, they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re straint of diet or confinement during their use.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.—THURSDAY. The catalogue raisonnee for the grand day, if it fell short by comparison with Tuesday, was in itself satis factory as to quantity. We cannot say much, however, for the character of the sport ; the early disappearance of the two cracks of their respective years—The Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur—and the scratching of Nut shell on Saturday last, having left the grand prize to the competition of second-class animals, and sadly de tracted from its interest, both as a betting rote, and as a source of attraction to the public, manifest in the little notice taken of it at Tattersall's, and still more obvi ously, in the inferiority of the attendance, compared with former Cup days. The list fortunately had a strong feature in the New Stakes, always a sporting race, and on this occasion rendered more than usually interesting by the advent of two of the leading favourites for next year's Derby, viz , Lord J. Scott's Brother to Elthiron (also brother to Miserrima and Windhound), on whom large sums have recently been invested, at 20 and 25 to 1, and Colonel Peel's colt, out of Queen Anne. The Visitors' and other plates filled well, so that, as we have before stated, there was no luck of amusement. To the " shortcomings" we have referred to, must be added the rival and cheaper attraction in Hyde-park, and the doubtful state of the weather in the morning, each serving to prevent so great a crowd as we have been accustomed to meet on Thursday. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the gathering was enormous, and long before the commencement of the races, the appearance of the various stands would have suggested anything but a falling off, to those who hare not been habitual attendants at these meetings. The first race was set as on Tuesday, half-past one; but it was not until within a few minutes of that time that the illustrious party from Windsor Castle arrived on the course. The procession consisted of six carriages and four, and four pony phaetons. In the first carriage were her Majesty, the Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and the two Prin cesses. In the second, with Prince Albert, were the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the Duke of Wurtemberee and Prince Edward of Saxe-W e i mar . Th e v i s i tors a nd suite consisted of the Prince of Leiningen, the Dukes of Wellington, Norfolk, and Rutland ; th e Duchess of Su therland, the Marquis of Abercorn, the Earl and Countess of Eglinton, Earl and Countess Jersey and Lady Clementine Villiers, the Earl and Countess of Granville, Earl and Countess Grey, Earl and Countess of Yarborough, Lord Seymour, Lady C. Gower, Lady Alice Lambton, the Hose. Miss St. Maur, Lord Dufferin, General Wemyss, Colonel Bouverie, the Hon. Miss Seymour, Sir F. Stovin, &c. Her Majesty was received enthusiastically, and her appearance at the window of the royal stand, with the royal children, was greeted with prolonged cheers. The course was cleared immediately after, and at two o'clock, the first event of the day, the Visitors' Plate, came off. With reference to the Emperor's Plate, which was next in the order of running; we should state that the betting, owing to the uncertainty that prevailed as to the intentions of the Russborough party, was, for a considerable time at a stand still. It was known that Lord Eglinton had been in treaty for him. on Wednes day evening, but it was not known that his Lordship's offer had been declined; in fact, the public were kept completely in the dark until a few minutes past one o'clock, when it was officially announced that the horse would not run! As a matter of course, those who were "on" exclaimed loudly against Mr. Mangan, giving vent to their anger in terms too strong to be mentioned. Little need be said of the race. Woolwich, the pro perty of two or three parties connected with the "ring," waited on the favourite until within the dis tance, and won in a very clever style by a length. Of the succeeding events, it is only necessary to refer to the one to which we have already alluded, viz., the New Stakes. For this twelve came to the post; Brother to Elthiron, on whom odds were laid at starting, winning cleverly by a length. To this followed the 701. Plate, immediately after which the Queen took her departure, amidst demonstrations of respect and attachment creditable to the " lieges," and evidently gratifying to her Majesty. The weather, ge nerally fine on the occasion of royal visits, took an unfa vourable turn immediately after the Cup race, and until after the last event was decided was wretched; the rain never ceased, the course became a forest of umbrellas, and the formation of a regular betting-ring was out of the question; in fact, from the time the Queen left, sauve qui peut became the order of the day; to obtain a list of the fabhionables, under such circumstances, was out of the question; but we may venture to say that, if the at tendance showed a falling off in numbers, it was in other respects scarcely inferior to former "Cup days." The business details of the day were got through satisfac torily; and we must do Mr. Hibburd, jun., the justice to add, that he proved himself a very competent starter. The races, which were brought to a close shortly after five o'clock, resulted as follows : The Visitors' Plate of 100 soya., and 25 for the second (handicap) by subs. of 5 sous. each.

Laudseer took the lead at starting, and, followed alternately by the Ballet Girl, Artisan, and the Corranna colt, made play until near the road over the Old Mile, where the race was left to Ballet Girl, Artisan, Landseer and Sinus, the latter, who had hitherto been lying away from his horses, now being fourth, with the race in hand. About half way up the distance Ninus went in front and won in a canter, by two lengths, a similar interval dividing the Artisan and the Ballet Girl; Landseer a bad fourth. Run in 3 min. 54 secs.

Little Jack went off with a clear lead, followed by Woolwich, Trouncer well up with the latter, and Windischgratz, who had nothing to do with the race, last. There was not the slightest change in this order until they were inside the distance, Woolwich there joining Little Jack, heading him opposite the stand, and winning cleverly by a length—the same between Little Jack and Trouncer.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The ever fresh and ever amusing Don Pasquale was performed for the first time this season last evening. Lablache, who has completely recovered from his late indisposition, was full of quaint and unctuous humour, and made richer fun than ever, keeping the audience in a roar by his eccentric whimsicalities. Madame Sontag is certainly the best Norina who has ever appeared— the flexibility of her voice gives her, in this character, as great a vocal superiority over her rivals as does her lady-like bearing and graceful manner an his trionic enperiority over them in the delineation of the well-bred heroines of true comedy. Norina is a lady par excellence, and therefore does she find her best re presentative in Madame Sontag. Ferranti was the Doctor Malatesta, and to our thinking he is one of the best who has appeared; ho sings the music with great taste and judgment, and infuses the true Italian buffo spirit into his acting. Calzolari was the Ernesto, and sung the serenade exquisitely; it was, as a matter of course, encored. Nothing could exceed the effervescing buoyancy with which the opera went off. It was pre ceded by the last act of Lucia di Lammermoor, with Caroline Duprez as Lucia and Sims Reeves as Edgardo, and was followed by the lively, bustling ballet, Les Cos mopolites. Between the first and second acts of Den Pasquale we had the delightful Truandaise, in which Carlotta Grisi was more espiegle, if that be possible, than ever. The house was crowded. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his Royal Highness Prince William Henry of the Nether lands honoured the performances with their presence. The Queen's box was occupied by Lord and Lady Camoys, the Misses Stonor, Mr. Francis Stonor, Air. and Mrs. John Townley and party. Amongst the noble and distinguished individuals also honouring the theatre with their presence on this occasion were the following: —The Duchess of Inverness, the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, the Marquis of Clanricarde, his Excell ency the Russian Alinistersind Baroness Brunnow, his Excel lency the Ottoman Ambassador and suite, the Earl of Aielmesbury, Earl Gifford, Lord and Lady Manners, Lord William Lennox, the Count Corte, Lady Charlotte Guest, Sir William Ball, Bart., Captain Smith, Mr. Storer, Miss Caroline Bellew, M. Sapolina, Mr. St. John, Mr. Whyte, Mrs. Johnstone, Captain Lake, Mr. Bedford, Mr. Wells, Mr. Knox Holmes, Mr. 1)o Blaquiere, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Richards, Mr. C. B. Baldwin, M.P., &c. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The continued and chronic hoarseness of poor Salve tori has produced, as far as the subscribers are con cerned, one good effect; it has secured for them ono more season of Tamburini. The great barytone has been induced by the management to forego his intended Italian journey, and to resume his place at the Royal Italian Opera, where he made his debiit last evening, in his old character of Don Giovanni. lie was in ex cellent voice and spirits, and acted the Don in the true spirit of gentlemanly recklessness, which renders his Don the first on the stage. Grist, as Donna Anna, was magnificent; and Tamberlik, as Don Ottavio, dkeated a sensation which will not easily bo forgotten. He under took the character at a short notice, in consequence of the illness of Mario, and the indulgence of the audience was requested; he, however, achieved a triumph greater than has ever been achieved in that character. We ex tract from the Times the following critique on last night's performance:— Signor The re-appearanc e of Tamburini last night was an even t of twofold importance, inasmuch as it restored to the theatre a dramatic barytone, o f which it has been greatly in want since the commence ment of the present campaign , and was the means of Don Giovanni before the public for th e fi rst bringing time this season at the Royal Italian Opera. The house was crowded to suffocation, and we understand some hun dreds of persons were sent away from the pit, unable to find standing room. Signor Tamburini 's reception was of the heartiest kind, and hie performance of Don Giovanni, in which character he has no rival at present on the stage, presented all those salient qualities to which it owes its celebrity. The profligate nobleman, with insinuating manners, imperturbable effrontery, and daring courage, was port raye d to the life. The courtier like bearing of Signor Tamburini in the scenes with Elvira and Donna Anna, in the duet with his bland persuasive ness Zerlina " L et darem," his reckless sh ame l essness in ' a the confiden tial interviews with Leporello, and his haughty demeanour, in the final rencontre with the statue, were as forcible and app ropr i ate as ever. Though t h e ravag es of time may be traced in the voice of Signor Tamburini, which has chiefly suffered in the higher notes, there is no evident falling off in the taste and spirit of his sing ing, and the encores that followed the drinking song and the serenade testified' to the genuine effect he pro duced upon the audience. In short, the successor of this accomplished artist, in the arduous part of Don Gio vanni, has yet to be found, and until he bo found we have reason to be well satisfied with what we have got. The great novelty last night, in the execution of Mo zart's chef d'ceuvre, was the unexpected appearance of Signor Tamberlik in the part of Don Ottavio, a circum stance explained in the following circular, which w as distributed in every part of the house:— " The directors have extreme regret in announcing that in consequence of the severe cold under which Sig nor Mario is suffering it is not possible for him to sing to-night. The indulgence of the audience is, therefore, respectfully requested towards Signor Tamberlik, who has at a very short notice most kindly offered to perform the part of Den Ottavio." Tho immediate feeling was one of general disappoint went ; but the duet with Donna Anna, in the first scene, convinced the audience that the favourite, Mario, had found a worthy substitute, while the subsequent scene with Donna Anna, where she recounts the story of her father's death by the hand of the liber tine, and that of the grand finale to the first act,. in which Don Ottavio defies Giovanni, were acted with such unnusual energy, that disappointment was con !, verted into unanimous satisfaction. But the culminat ing point was, of course, the "II mio tesoro," which famous air it is our duty to sa;y, we have never heard so magnificently sung by any other singer. The style was perfect, the expression varied and glowing, and the volume and quality of tone displayed in the upper notes, especially in the well known passage (first introduced by Rubini), where the sustained note Fis carried on to the high B flat—we have not . heard equall e d even by Duprez when ho was the prince of tows edi forza. The encore was tumultuous. The air was repeated with increased effect, and Signor Tam who finished the second time on the high B flat, with immense power, was once more recalled by the amliPlice. In a word, his Don Ottavio is, without com parison, the best we have seen. There is no lassitude or indifference in the opening scones; the points Mozart intended are all there; and, insteed of a walking gen tleman with a song, as Rubini and others have made it, we have a character for which the sympathies are engaged from first to last, and when the grand point arrives our admiration and delight are all, the greater. There is not much fur Don Ottaviu to do in the majo rity of the scenes in which he appears, but, that what there is may be rendered effective, Signor Tsmberlik has proved beyond controversy. His performance last night raised him to a point ie the estimation of the audience beyond which none of his contemporaries have been able to soar, and the " indulgence respecfully requested" in his behalf, on the part of the management, was accorded with enthusiasm. Another novelty in the cast was Madlle. Bertrandi, whose Donna Elvira is de cidedly the best thing she has played. Without reach jug the excellence of Madlle. Corbari, the best Elvira we have seen upon the stage, Madlle. Bertrandi sang the very difficult music of that beautiful but ill -appreciated character so correctly, and with such decision and in variable good taste, that the most exacting admirers of Mozart must have felt entirely satisfied. The other principal characters—the Donna Anna of Madame Grisi, the Zerlina of Madame Castellan, and the Lepo rello of Herr Formes—need not be dwelt upon. It is enough to say that they exhibited their accustomed ex cellence; that Grisi, in the recitative and aria of the first act was as grand and dramatic as she is wont to be—that the " Batti, batti" and " Vedrai eariao," sung with great sweetness by Madame Castellan, were both en cored—and that the last scene of Leporello, perhaps, the most original and elaborately-finished of all the impersonation s of Herr Formes, was never more striking, impressive, and true to character and situation. We have often praised the Commandatore of Signor Taglia fico, and his execution of the sublime music of the finale to the second act: last night, confirmed ue in the opi nion that the part has rarely, if ever, found so efficient a representative. Signor Polonini's Masetto is perfect in its way; his acting is natural and humorous, and his singing invariably correct and good. We should men tion that among the encores were the two songs of Sig nor Tamburini and the " trio of the masks," by and Sig nor T am b ez lik . Ma dame Grisi, Bertrandi, We must remark, however, that the singers are too apt to respond to the demands of a minority in coming forward to repeat their airs. The only unani mous encore last night—the only one that could not be resisted with deference to the public—was that accorded to the " Il mio tesoro," and it is worthy of observation that among all the performers engaged in the opera, Sig nor Tamberlik was the slowest to accept the compliment. The general performance of the cpera was admirable. Mr. Costa and his orchestra shone to the highest ad vantage, and we have not heard the finale to the first act, the sestet, " Sole or the great last mane, with Giovanni, Leporello, and the statue of the Cora mandatore, go so unexceptionably well. The military band, however, was more out of tune than ever, both in the first and second acts. Surely some remedy might be found for this. The effect of the trombones behind the scenes, when the statue, in the churchyard, accepts the invitation to supper of Don Giovanni, is very so lemn and appropriate ; but last night these instruments were probably so far off; at the commencement, that they were inaudible, and the statue had to ,sing his first solo without accompaniments. Some reform in the management of the supper scene is absolutely essential. We are tired of stating that Don Giovanni should have no company at table, since, as the book shows, hi s eh 'nervations are exclusively directed to his servant, Leporello, which would be a curious anomaly on the part of so polite a cavaliq in the presence of ladies. But if this point cannot be conceded, the table might be placed elsewhere than in the middle of the stage, so as to do away with the excessive absurdity of a number of domes tics coming in to carry off the remains of the feast, at the approach of the statue, as though to clear the stage for a pas de trois for D on Giovanni, Leporello, and the ghost of the dommandatore. Such scenic mistakes go far to destroy the awfuLeffect intended to be conveyed by the music and the situation; and people are inclined, in some places, to laugh rather than be impressed and edi fied at the fate of the unrepentant profligate. Moreover, they are so egsy to remedy that their obstinate retention is unpardonable. The principal artists were recalled at the end of the first act, and after the second Signor Tam. burini came on alone. WATERLOO, BRIDGE iCOMPARY.—The half-yearly meetirg of the proprietors of this company.was held yestert day, at the Fremasons' Tavern, Mr. F. Jenkins in the chair. TheTeport stated, that the receipts for tolls during the past half-year amounted to 8,0394 165., while those of the cor responding period of the preceding half-year were .7,3671, being an increase of 6721. ' of which 480/. was fin. horses and carriages, and 1911. for foot-passengers. A further in crease had also taken place in the receipts since February last of 434/. The committee were aware that the numerous visitors from all parts of the world to view the Great Exhi bition had tended to increase the tolls since February last; yet as the amount received up to that period was in no manner influenced by any casualty, it afforded satisfactory evidence of progressive improvement in traffic. The bridge and the roads remained in a most satisfactory state of repair. The report was unanimously adopted. It was in timated that in all probability this bridge would ere long be taken by Government and opened to the public, and this seemed the more likely, taking it into consideration that botk Blaekfriars and Westminster bridges were in a very crit state. 1 TALL WISHES.—In no class shall we find a greater exuberance of fancy or more exaggerated ideas in regard to wealth than in the thorough-bred loafer. A few dap ago a couple of individuals of this genus being seated in a sunny nook, near a wharf, at which a California bound vessel was lying, their conversation very naturally ran upon gold, as neither of the twain was the possessor of a single red cent, and they amused themselves by wishing for the precious metal. " Bill," said one to the other, " I'll telr yer jest how much gold I wish I had, an d I'd be satisfied." " Wa , " on said the dividualTh appealed to, "go —lll see if you've got the libral id ees o f a gentleman 7 " Well, Bill, I wish I had so much gold, that 'twould take a 74-gun ship, loaded down with needles so deep that if you put in another needle; she'd sink—and all these needles to be worn out makin bags to hold my pile." Bill threw his crownles.s hat upon the pavement with indignation, and exclaimed, " darn it, why don't yer wish for suetethia when yer undertake it! I wish that 1 had as much as yours wouldn't pay the interest of mine for the time you could hold a red hotkniiten needle in your ear.”—A„nerican Paper.

ONLY ME.—A lady had two children,both ' girls. The elder was a fair child, the younger a beauty, and the mother's pet. Her whole love centered 3 in it. The lder was neglected, while "sweet" (the pet name of the younger) received every attenti on t h at affection could bestow. One day, after a severe illness, the mother was sitting in the par lour, when she heard a childish step upon the stairs, and her thoughts were instantly with the favourite. "Is that you, Sweet?" she inquired. "No, mamma," was the sad, touch ing reply, " it isn't sweet ; it's only me."
