Well, there are Omni busses at Charing-cross and a dozen other places ; the Fare is the same as by Boat, three-pence. Is the Band a good one for Quad rilles ? The first in the world, conducted by Bonin!, and led by Richard Hughes ; there is ro Band equal to it for dancing, Then say no more, with you I'll go, And trip it on fantastic toe, the first step into a Chelsea Omnibus. 26, Cornhlll, Capital £500,000.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to 4fford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or., st his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and ihould the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. Ike following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. I.

The following is the report of the committee ap pointed to consider all matters relating to the build ing, made to her Majesty's Commissioners, Thursday, May 9, 1850 : May it please your Royal Highness, My Lords and Gentlemen,—We have the honour to report that we have examined the numerous plans so liberally contri• buted by native and foreign architects in accordance with the public invitation. Exhausting in their numerous projects and sugges tions almost every conceivable variety of building, the authors of those .designs have materially assisted us in arriving at the conclusions which we have now the honour to report. We have been aided in our analysis of this subject by a great amount of thought and elaboration thus brought to bear upon it from various points of view. We have, however, arrived at the unanimous conclu sion, that able and admirable as many of these designs appeared to be, there was yet no single ono so accordant with the peculiar objects in view, either in the principle or detail of its arrangement, as to warrant us in recom mending it for adoption. In some of the least successful of the designs sub mitted we find indicated errors and difficulties to be avoided, whilst in tho abler and more practical of them are valuable conceptions and suggestions which have greatly assisted us in framing the plan we have now the honour to lay before you. In preparing this desing we have been governed mainly by three considerations:— 1. The provisional nature of the building. 2. The advisability of constructing it as far as pos sible in such a form as to be available, with least sa crifice of labour and material, for other purposes, so soon been as its original one shall have been fulfilled, thus insuring a minimum ultimata cost. 3. Extreme simplicity demanded by the short time in which the work must be completed. For the arrangement of the plan we rely for effect on honesty of construction, vastness of dimension, and fit ness of each part to its end. The principal points of excellence we have endeavoured to attain are 1. Economy of construction. 2. Facilities for the reception, classification, and dis play of goods. 3. Facilities for the circulation of visitors. 4. Arrangement for grand points of view. 5. Centralization of supervision. 6. Some striking feature to exemplify the present state of the science of construction in this country. The first of these,—economy, is attained by doing away with any internal walls (all divisions being made by the necessary stalls), by reducing the whole con struction, with the exception of the dome, to cast iron columns, supporting the lightest form of iron roof in long unbroken lines, and by the whole Qf the work being done in the simplest manner, and adapted in all respects to serve hereafter for other purposes. The second, facilities for the reception, classification, and display of goods—The main central entrance for the reception of objects for exhibition will, probably, be that most approachable from the public road. All eases ac companying goods will be examined, registered, cata logued, &c., in the offices of the executive; the packing cases will then be put upon a truck running on a line of rails laid down temporarily, and conveyed to the centre turn-table, from which they znay be carried by a line of rails at right angles to the first, to the end of the transverse gallery, in which they may be destined to be placed. The most important condition to insure successful classification is, that those to whom the duty of arrange. ment may be confided should be hampered by no fixed limits of space, such as would have been the case had the building been divided into a number of halls, sections, or chambers. The plan submitted fulfils this condition perfectly; as objects can be arranged just as they are re ceived, and moved, if necessary, from gallery to gallery with great facility. The successful display of the goods would be best in sured by leaving, under certain general restrictions, the fitting-up of each stall to the exhibitor, or his agent, floor space only being allotted to each; and stands, frames, brackets, shelves, &c., being put up by the con tractor's carpenter, at a fixed tariff. The best light is provided, and the most economical wall-space is proposed to be furnished by connecting pillar to pillar transversely, on the extreme north and south sides of the building, by rods, from which dra peries, &e., can be suspended. The third, facilities for the circulation of visitors, are thus attained :—The visitor, on arrival at the central hall, proceeds at choice to any one of the four sections. He will, most probably, desire either to follow the whole course of the section selected, or will wish to go at once to some particular class or object. Ho will be enabled to do either the one or the other, without interfering with the general current, by means of gates or other arrangements, which shall insure the current of visitors passing in one direction. If he desire to proceed rapidly from one end of the building to the other, and finds the great central gangway at all blocked up, he will, no doubt, be able to get on by either the north or south corridors, 15 feet wide. Numerous doors of egress in these latter afford ready means of exit for a large number of persons. Seats are provided in the middle of the great central gangway for those who may desire to rest. The fourth, arrangement for grand points of view— The view from or to the centre of the building will, from its extent, bo necessarily imposing. The seats and main avenues are arranged, so that on the occasion of the distribution of the prizes an immense number of persons may be accommodated. Most interesting views might be obtained from galleries constructed at either end of the building, and around the dome, for the admission of the public, to which some small charge might be made. The fifth, centralization of supervision —All the busi ness of the exhibition would be carried on in one spot, and be readily under control. The Royal Commission, the principal committees, clerks, accountants, police, &c., would be together, and in so large an establishment it would be absolutely necessary, or much time would be wasted in walking from one point to another. Passages running behind the money-takers' boxes, with glazed doors into them, would enable each accountant to detect anything improper that might be going on, and to ex• change and balance cheques, money, &c., at any mo- ment. Telegraphic communications with each of the pay-places will permit orders to be given, cash accounts, &c., 0 be issued and returned from and to the head accountant's office as often as may be necessary. Four committee-rooms, one for a jury in each section, have been provided at the extreme east and west-ends. The duties of such committees being deliberative, and not executive, it is not necessary they should be accom modated in the central establishment, where they would be more liable to be disturbed than at the extremity of the building. A policeman stationed in each gallery would, from his elevated position, be enabled to observed much which might escape detection if he mingled only with the crowd. The sixth, some striking feature to exemplify the pre sent state of the science of construction in this country.— In order that the building in which England invites the whole world to display their richest productions may afford, at least in one point, a grandeur not incommen• surate with the occasion, we propose, by a dome of light sheet iron, 200 feet in diameter, to produce an effect at once striking and admirable. From calculations which have been made of the cost of so grand a hall, we have reason to expect that it may be executed for a sum not greatly exceeding the cost of the simplest form of roof likely to be adopted to cover the same area. It is to be borne in mind that a considerable amount of any such difference may be recovered, should this portion of the building be converted hereafter to other purposes, which is more than probable. This vast dome it is proposf d to light mainly from one circle of light in its centre, and thus the sonlpture will be pleasingly and suitably lit. Six out of the eight openings in the cylinder of the dome would be well adapted for the exhibition of stained glass windows of great extent, while the two remaining arches will open to the main central gallery. The lower part of some of the voids will admit the eye to tuff and shrubs, and produce a great freshness of effect. The immense continuity of the central avenue will be broken and relieved by a variation in the roof opposite the openings to the second and third sets of refresh ment-rooms' and windows for the reception of stained glass may be placed at the ends of each transverse gal lery, thus terminating the vista for each. It now only remains to explain the course of action we would recommend for adoption so soon as the prin ciples of the plan, &c.; shall be positively decided. We molder thin to be as ocoaeleu ups which the REP ( O p ß re T sen O te F d T to ll t E he ß C U om lL m D is l s N io G n, M CO ay M I M 6, IT IB T S E O E .) ON THE PLANS SU BMX TIED. May it please your Royal Highness, my Lords, and Gentlemen,—Your committee beg leave to report that the invitation issued by the Commissioners requesting information and suggestions for the general arrange ment of the building and premises required for the Exhibition of 1851, has been responded to in the most ample and satisfactory manner, both as re spects the variety of useful ideas presented to their consideration and the libefality with which many expe rienced and skilful men of foreign countries, no less than of our own, have contributed - their valuable time to this great undertaking, thereby evincing their entire sympathy both with the great cause of arts and indus try in which her Majesty's Commission ershave embarked, and with the arduous labours of the directors of the undertaking. The designs and specifications transmitted to the com mittee amount to the surprising number of 245, offering an aggregate of professional sacrifice of very consider able importance ; for, not confining themselves to sug gestions only, which were invited by the programme, a large proportion of them are remarkable for elaboration of thought and elegance of execution. Penetrated with admiration and respect for these gra hbealvieeve, devoted gra tuitous and valuable contributions, unexampled, they your committee inth of these projects, and hasten to offer those acknowledg ments historyofnaest careful competition,atteetiea to the collection which are due to their merits, and to the generous motives which have led to their execution; and they trust that the public may shortly be witnesses of the effect of this very noble emulation of the skill of all countries, by the public exhibition of these designs, offer ing the opportunity, in the true spirit of the whole un dertaking, of mutual improvement, respect, and friend ship amongst the cultivators of the liberal arts in the several countries of Europe. It is remarkable that, while many of these contribu tions may be attributed to the laudable motive of pro fessional repntation and advancement on the part of practitioners, not yet sufficiently known to the public, a great number are from gentlemen whose position in the confidence of their respective Governments, or in the re public of arts and letters, is of the highest eminence, and who can have been actuated by no such personal motives. Already entitled to respect and admiration, they could have little to gain, while they have something to lose, in the competition for glory. The kind and frank communication, therefore, •of their thoughts and expe rience towards this great work is to be more highly com mended. Every possible mode of accomplishing the ob ject in view has been displayed by the respective contri butors as regards economy of structure and distribution, and these qualities are united with various degrees of archi tectural symmetry and features in many designs. Our illustrious continental neighbours have especially distin guished themselves by compositions of the utmost taste and learning, worthy of enduring execution,—examples of what might be done in the architectural illustration of the subject when viewed in its highest aspect, and at all events .exhibiting features of grandeur, arrangement, end grace, which your committee have not failed to ap preciate., Among these several classes of design, the practical character , of our own countrymen, as might have been expected, has been remarkably illustrated in some very striking and simple methods suited to the temporary pur poses of the building, due attention having been paid to the pecuniary means allotted to this part of the under taking. The principle of suspension has been applied in a single tent of iron sheeting, covering an area river aging 2,200 feet by 400 feet by a lengthened ridge, br in separate tents on isolated supports. Others display the solution of this problem by the Chapter-house principle, and a few by the umbrella or ciroular locomotive engine house system of railway stations, either with a central column or groups of columns sustaining dooms or roofs to the extent of 400 feet diimeter. Grandeur and simplicity of distribution are carried out with great architectural effect in other compositions, and the general arrangement by columnar supports has been also variously and elegantly developed. The system of iron roofing, with all the architectural powers of which that material is susceptible, has been adopted by some with signal enterprise, ingenuity, and power. In another class of design the authors have viewed with enthusiasm the great occasion and object of the propos. d exhibition, and have waved all considerations of expense. They have indulgei their imaginations, and employed the resources of their genius and learning in the composition of arrangements which present the utmost grandeur and beauty of architecture, suited to a permanent palace of science and art. These, as addressed to the architectural student, are of the highest value, re minding him of all the condition of his art,—the Egyptian hypostyle, the Roman therms°, or of the Arabian or Saracenic inventions. And, though their expense has placed them beyond reach, they cannot fail to inspire and elevate the treatment of the reality. They at all events confer great obligations on the lovers of the fine arts, for the authors have evidently felt that, if one of the results to be expected from the proposed exhibition may be to prove that the simplest object of ingenuity and skill should not be devoid of some of the attractions of taste, the building itself ought to be an illustration of that important principle. The committee, however, have been unable to select any one design, as combining all the requisites, which various considerations render essential. But the judg ment and taste evinced by a large number of the con tributors have enabled the committee to arrive more promptly at their conclusions, and they have freely availed themselves of most valuable suggestions in di recting the preparation of a fresh design for the proposed building. They have consequently been most earnest in the de sire to fulfil the just expectations of the various compe titors, and feel assured that your Royal Highness and the Commission will be of opinion that the most unre served and handsome acknowledgments are duo to those able men of science and art, who have in so disinterested a manner, submitted such admirable projects for the consideration and assistance of the committee. They beg, therefore, to submit as their opinion that the following gentlemen are entitled to honourable and favourable mention, on account of architectural merit, ingenius construction, or disposition, or for graceful ar rangement of plan.

Lord Ashley's 'motion to put an end to the collection and delivery of letters by post throughout the country on Sunday has been carried, by a majority of twenty five, in a thinly-attended House. The victory is pro bably owing to the Derby week: but gentlemen who have neglected for their pleasures their duties in the Le gislature, may have to rue their inattention; for the war of the saints commencing with interference with the bu siness of life will not end without a crusade against the recreations and diversions; and the race-course will be one of their first points of attack after they have suc ceeded in embittering the observance of the Sabbath— and we think they will succeed, for a time at least, be cause of the cowardly deference and homage to cant. Throw the stone and the giant dies, but how few have the courage to throw the stone. Colon►l Thompson is the only man who has sturdily asserted the truths of the question, and shown from Scripture that the ascetic ob servance demanded is not Christian, but Judaic. The general cowardly fashio❑ of the opponents of Puritan ism is to fall in with the cant, and to find special pleas for the retention of the necessary service whose interruption is demanded. Mr. Hill, for example, has, we must observe, carried his conces sions, and what is worse, the principle of his concessions, a great deal too far; and consistently with what he has granted, the stoppage of the whole post-office duties on the Sunday may be insisted on as equally called for, and a strict logical sequence. He appears to hare taken fright at the mendacious and virulent clamour raised against him. — Lord Ashley's proposal is to do away with an entire sixth of the communication of the country, and to consi der the propriety and expediency of stopping the con veyance of the mails as well as the collection and deli very of letters, the effect of which would be to leave only four days' post to many parts of the country. As Shakspere says, " too much proved, that what we have we prize not to the worth," and as we have always had a daily communication for six days in the week, and have always had it in steady course of im provement, we are too familiar with the convenience for the full appreciation of it, and can form no just idea of the various effects of losing it. It is like the case of a man well fed every day, who cannot fancy the pangs of hunger and thirst, arid who looks forward to privation only as whet to appetite. But whenever the fast of communication is established, the pains, the troubles, the derangements of it will be poignantly felt in a multitude of unimagined forms. Then there will be outcry and clamour the ether way, and a reaction as there now is in parts of Scotland, to riot and jollity on Sunday. According to the principles of the Pharisees, where is their meddling for the bitter observance of the Sabbath to stop? Are people to use their eyes on Sunday for any purpose but reading prayers and homilies? Are they to use their bands except to turn the pages of reli gious books? Are they to use their legs except to take them to church, chapel, or conventicle? In the Long Parliament the predecessors of our Agnewa and Ashleys brought in a Bill for the observance of the Lord's Day, in which there was a clause subjecting to heavy penal ties " persons walking abroad vainly and profanely." And to conclusions of this sort the Pharisees are in con sistency bound to come. And more, they must insist o❑ discharging the police, and soldiers, and sailors from their duties on the Sabbath, for why are not their souls to be cared for as much us those of postmasters and railway servants? Towards these preposterous conclusions we are advancing step by step. A crusade against railway travelling and steamboat voyaging will follow the inter ruption of the post ; and next, the prohibition of riding and driving, and of the means of recreation in every shape. The revolt will come with experience of these ascetic charges—but the revolt will not come in any good spirit ; and it is because we dislike the sort of re action that always follows such hypocritical meddling, that we so anxiously and earnestly deprecate the provo cation to it. The sure follower of Puritanism is licen tiousness. It iF, also, often its secret c )ncornitant ; and the most debauched places in England and Scotland are at this moment some of those which make the greatest show of sanctity. Every shop window is scrupulously closed, while men are sotting in bed, whisky or gin drinking, and drunk from Saturday night to Sunday morning. And this is not the only vice which marks places in which the natural and wholesome pleasures are under interdict. Where excursions to recruit the build! and spirits cannot bo had, the haunts of profligacy are observed to z bound and to flourish. Every obstacle to the innocent pleasures see ells the tide of the guilty ones. (From the 1V eelity Dispatch.) Lord Ashle'y and his fellow-Pharisees in the Commons have carried u resolution for an address to the Queen against the opposition of the Ministry, praying that let ters may not be collected or delivered anywhere on Sun days. The saintly crew had intended to include the transmission of the letters in their resolution; but that was too had, or too good, whichever they please, and they gave it up. According to the statement of the pious Ashley, there are a million petitioners for this holy proceeding. To be sure, we believe that lull two thirds of whatever number have petitioned, or mean to petition, for both are included in the saintly estimate, were cheated into the act by the Jesuitical outcry against the late alterations in the Post-office, by which 28 workers have been released in London, and 8.000 more throughout the empire, while the perpetrators of the pious fraud were persuading their gulled and moones auditories that Mr. Rowland Hill was doing all he could to increase Sunday labour. Where the parts of the commonwealth are more than 24 hours' journey asunder, it must happen that the observance of one man's Sunday will interfere with another man's Saturday or Monday, who is more than a day's journey distant.. When, therefore, pleading the example of Sunday's rest in London, which, as the largest community, has the natural preference, he asks that all parts of the nation should be treated alike, and calls that question " a very simple one," the spiritually minded Ashley is asking an impossibility, or expecting a miracle. All that can be done in such a case, with out a touch of the supernatural, is to interfere as little us possible with the Sunday's rest anywhere, for the pur pose of carrying on the week's work elsewhere and everywhere; and Mr. Rowland Hill has done this with such marvellous ability, that the clumsy saints, for the sake of their own cause, should be glad to let him alone. However they have carried their address, as the ballot and triennial Parliaments were carried by an acciden , al majority, and if we have the Plumptre code for the Post office, we have an 'equal right to these measures of Parliamentary reform. Our belief is, the Ministry will give one us soon as the others. It is curious to watch the legislation of these righteous over much through all its uncharitable effects. They would prevent the Sunday 't collection" of letters—that is, the letter-box must not be open llt is not enough that they will not put in, or send, a letter to it them selves, on their Jewish Sabbath ; bat the poor servant girl who gets her half-holiday out, must not have the opportunity, and so save herself trouble or embarrass ment on the Monday. We love the Sunday privilege of the people, we would keep it a privilege; but we would not make it a bondage to suit these vicarious religionists. Let the people rest and enjoy themselves freely o ne d ay in the week. Let it be pena l to extort their la b our. It any footman or coachman is seen making an un-Chris tian slave of himself behind or before a bishop's car riage on that day, pelt his silk stocking with mud till his calves are on e p laister. If bishops themselves order out their carriages, take the horses to the pound, and hunt the Episcopal Sabbath-breakers to the station house. The process would add to the hilarity and healthful exercise of the holy day. Punish all who extort labour; let all give such attention as may really forward the recreation or promote the health of the many. L et the one who claims the service of ten be stigmatized and corrected: let the one who saves labour to a hundred, or gives them the enjoyment that prepares them for re newed toil, be rewarded. Let us have the object a fair, a truly righteous one, and then, Ashley, Plumptre, and Co , go it with your Sabbath Bills as hard as you please. But no straining at gnats and swallowing camels. No piety at your neighbours' inconvenience, exactly to suit your own pleasure. No humbug! Such a condition will not agree with you, Sabbatarian worthies, who ar gue against the personal annoyance of being expected to receive and answer letters on a Sunday; so put a stopper on your hypocritical breath. It has no sweet savour of pure charity, it stinks of selfishness, of vain glory, and pretence. It is mere cant; leave it to the Scotch, the English will have none of it. (From the Times ) Notwithstanding the tenacious vitality of popular de illsious, we had really not imagined it po,siblo that the absurd persuasions respecting the' rue, nt Post-office re forms could have maintained thtdr grourd for a single hour atter the public atoll of the facts cut t.iiued in Mr. Rowland Hill's re'urn. As the reader may probably remember, we took occasion, not long ago, to s'" t`' plaits language what had actually been done, and what were the positive results visible in the Sunday duties f the Post-office since the introduction of thoaa changes denounced for their impious and uu-Christian pro fanity. Waving all questi,n of motive or intention, and looking simply at those matters of fact by which Englishmen are accustomed to determine questi6ns before them, it is not denied that the effect of the late arrangements has been as follows:—The number of Sunday collections has nos here increased, while the number of Sunday deliveries has 13 , q1 reduct oy 23 3 in the post towns alone.

One would think there was no making head against these facts, and yet we have before us the reports of certain " committees," in which the aforesaid exposition is described simply as " a striking proof of the great extent to which encroach ments had been made on t h e Sunday," and in which it is deliberately concluded that, " however much the opi nions of the authorities may have been modified or changed since iho decided opposition to their scheme was manifected by persons of every shade of opinion, the origical design was intended rather to stimulate the revenue be increased facilities, than to diminish Sunday labour." We will not comment upon tLe obliquity of vision displayed in these coricheions, but it is evident from the debate of Thursday evenieg that the spirit of organized fanaticism is so resolute in its unreason, that neither common sense nor common consent will be strong enough to thwart it, without greet vigilsnce and timely action on the part of the country and the eloverernent. The immediate object with Lord Ashley's majority was the total abolition of all collectiens and deliveries of letters on Sundays throughout the United Kingdom, bat an objection was also recorded against the actual trans mission of the mails on a Sunday from one station to another. These two points have been for some time carefully discussed by the authorities most competent to predict the effects of the change, and their opinion, in more senses than one, has been adverse to the promoters of the measure. It is wonderful how people can persuade themselves that there is a predisposition on the part of Post-office functionaries to augment their own duties, to perpetuate their own burdens, and to impede .by all possible means any measures for giving them. once a-week a more complete day of rest. An indif ferent spectator, observing Mr. Hill's arguments on one side, and the addresses of certain societies on the other, would be strangely perplexed to com prehend the position of the two parties. It is not usual to see persons anxious for the extension of their own toil; but Mr. Hill quietly endeavours to show that the relief urged upon himself and his department could really not be effected without an inconvenience to the public far greater and more general than is anticipated by the promoters of the change. We forbear entering at present upon the official de tails affecting the practicability of the question. What we now wish to point out is the spirit. in which the de sired reforms are promoted, and by which the general interests of the public are subordinated to the fanatical persuasions of a minority. Whatever may be the 'im propriety of such Sunday work as is here implied, this much may at least be said, that no person need have part in it against his will. It is one of those rare cases in which every man may measure his conduct by his convictions. No person need travel on a Sunday, or eat a dinner cooked on a Sunday, if averse to such doings. Every householder may keep the particular Sabbath of his own conception. Even in regard to the especial point now at issue, it is competent, as Mr. Hill observes, to any individual "to be protected against the Sunday delivery of letters upon notifying in writing to the postmaster his wish to that effect," and, as the posting of letters i i i a clearly optional, it is thus within the reach of any person or family to keep themselves absolutely he. from the scandal or offence complained of. Any man, as far as his share in the matter is concerned, may put a peremptory stop to the Sunday duties of the Post-office; and if the unanimity of public opinion on this point is anything like what has been described, the desired re sult would be very speedily brought about by agency wholly unexceptionable. Nay, the operation of the principle has been successfully extended, for in certain districts, where a representation of bond fide sentiments to such effect has been made by a majority of the popu lation, the Sunday post has been stopped in that parti cular locality. These views, however, do not in any way suit our organised reformers. They say "it would be imprac ticable, and impolitic if practicable, to leave the question to be determined in the manner proposed." Impolitic, in their view, it would certainly be, for it would take the matter out of their hands and transfer it to a more open tribunal. They object even to town meetings, and rely upon petitions alone as expressive of the true wishes of the country. But any persons who have witnessed the manufacture and composition of these documents on tiny subject whatever, must be very well aware that not one in ten of the subscribers is probably a party inte rested in the decision of the question before us. The parties really concerned are those who dispatch letters and those who receive them, and though it is obviously not very easy to ascertain the true collective opinion of this body, yet upon such opinion the ultimate decision should rest. In the case of Birmingham the town meet ing came to one conclusion, and the town council to another. These remarks apply with still greater force to the secomilbpart of Lord Ashley's proposition. As the col lection and delivery of letters in any particular town is wholly independent of the practice in other districts, it can be suspended or renewed at any moment when the genuine opinion of the parties concerned shall so deter mine, but the stoppage or transmission of the general mail would mill-et the convenience of every place served by the line; and should be enforced, therefore, up ,, n the mani'est concurrence of all these places in the scheme. If such concurrence can be fairly obtained, it is prepos terous t) imagine that there can be any disinclinaii)n on the part of the Post-office authorities to such a mitigation of their duties; but it greatly concerns the pubic, not oily an a question of convenience, but as a matter of principle, to see that changes like these are not forced upon the Administration, against or apart from th e t rue opinion of the country, by the operation of that pressure which can be always exerted by an organized and reso lute party, however relatively insignificant in numbers or position.

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 2.—The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Great Western, Capt. H. B. Wolfe, arrived this day, at one o'clock, from the West Indies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieut. Davies, R.N., admiralty agent. . _ - On her homeward voyage, the Great Western expe rienced fine weather throughout, and has made an ex cellent voyage. The latest dates brought by the Great Western are —Havannah, May 2; Chagres, April 28; Carthagena, May 1; Jamaica, May 8; Demvrara, May 4; Trinidad, May 7; Barbadoes, May 10; Grenada, May 9 ; Port ) Rico, May 13; StThomas, May 15; La Guayra, May 7; Fayai, May 27; Antigua, May 12; Jacmel, May 11; Santa Martha, April 19; Grey Town, April 25; Valpa raiso, March 30; Coquimbo, March 31; Huasco, April I; Copiapo, April 1; Cobija, April 3; Iquieque, April 4; Arica, April 5; 'lslay, April 6; Pisco April 8; Callao, April 13; Payta, April 16; Guayquil, April 18; Buena Ventura, April 21 ; San Francisco; March 30. .

Jamaica.—Everything is described as " stale, flat, and unprofitable" here. Many parishes are suffering from drought,' and in Vera, not more than one-fourth of last years' crop was expected. The price of sugar had fallen. In Kingston the house of Lundie', Arboim, and Co. had failed. Mr. Bernard, chairman of quarter sessions, died not teng since; his lucrative office was given to Mr. Farquharson, a member of the bur, and staunch supporter of the Kinghouse party in the Amena bly, another instance of Jamaica legislative imbecility. Had the Council and Assembly given up their idle disputes on matters of privilege, and legislated in earnest for the public good, they would long ago have reduced official salaries as the offices became vacant. The salary of chairman of quarter ses sions is no less than 1,2001. a year. The lucrative office of clerk of the market was bestowed on another Go vernment supporter, the late speaker (Dallas.) Another vacancy in the Council was shortly expected, and specu lation was on foot as to the manner it would be filled up. Crop, about 40,000 toes. Count Mirasol called at Porto Rico on the 6th of May, on his way to Havannab, on a mission to inspect the state of the island, and afterwards to proceed to the United States. He had a naval flag officer, a brigadier of engineers, and one of the heads of the financial de partment in his suite. Great scarcity of water pre vailed at St. Thomas; the island is solely dependent on rain. Advices from Demerara reach to the sth of May. A general depression and gloom prevailed among all classes of tile inhabitants; the weather had proved rather more favourable for several days, but the fact that the weather in March and April bad seriously in jured the crops was .too well known, and in general it would prove lamentably deficient. No less than seven sugar estates, Fame, Success, Lowlands, Dock fours, Mainstay, Richmond, and Sophisenberg. were ad• vertised in the same paper for sale by execution, exhi biting a sad proof as to the working of the Sugar Act of 1846. To show the depreciation of property, a sugar estate on the Arabian coast of Essequibo, the " Babb ztlas Cust," which in 1840 sold for 30,0001., and of this amount 26,0002 was paid. was recently sold for 1,2001. 'Die mortgagee was not the purcbmcr. Unless enabled to make such contracts for service as the planters may think proper, it is evident this "magnificent pro vince" must retrograde and dwindle down. The works on the East Coast Railway are progressing favourably —the line is completed as far as Vigilance, ten miles from George Town. If cotton planting is allowed to be re-established through the aid of capitalists in Eng land, the finest desgriptions of that material could be raised, and an almost unlimited field fir its cultivation, besides leading to the extension of the railway to Berbice, hitherto considered chimerical. Cholera bad broken out in the llavannah. From Barbadoes no news of importance. In some districts the crop was finished; but in others, especially high lands, a considerable quantity of sugar remained to be male. The crop will fall short of last, owing to the severe drought in September and November. A large quantity of sug ar remained to be shipped, owin g to th e want of vessels. Freight 3s. 6d. and 3s. Latterly fine seasonable rains had fallen, and great quantities of pro visions had been planted. The labourers were conduct ing themselves to the satisfaction of their employers, although somewhat unsettled by a notion spread abroad that the object of the African Colonisation Society was to send the great bulk of them to the shores of Africa, there to be endowed with as much land as they require. The money collecting in the island by the agents of the society, said to be solely far missionary purposes, is sup posed by the negroes to be for the purpose of building ships to carry them away. They take delight in pre dicting there will be no labourers in the island to reap the crop they are now planting. The planters regret the delusion in an island so well fitted to prove the fact whether free labour can compete with slave labour. JAMAICA MARKETS. (From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) The market for bread stuffs has become yet more lan guid wider the rather free receipts which have taken place during the past fortnight. In the absence of any speculative demand whatever, and with a diminished and still diminishing consumption, over 3,600 barrels of flour may be considered a very large supply; and we antici pate much difficulty in their disposal, even at . the pre sent unremunerative rates. The arrivals also of Caro lina rice have been considerably beyond the average demand. The fish market is heavy, with a downward tendency. We are greatly mistaken if the cou rse which shi pp ers m e i c k p g s r u a b d b a e o c r i k u the t w ap h p e e ns a a r tmh a p eet statepr ri prices s e o n fo tf th i ngsfi s desirous isnso oet existed ss z et d eci o dw p e t n s o mecdeo o n f fo o wt t h ewb imprudent nominal. s ere hatotvheisbemen within arket,w the , shortererenderer rendered almost o lmost f two weeks no less than six cargoes from Halifax, large in quantity, and in some instances of inferior quality. Business generally has been dull, and confined, for the most part, to operations of a retail character. The continued drought is being severely felt by the planters and settlers in several districts of the island ; and as the absence of rain will, in all probability, injure the crop of native vegetables now in the ground, im- ported breg.dstuffs may benefit by it. No immediate re action, however, can take place, as the present supply of yams, &c., is abundant. Coffee—The market still continues depressed, ard prices rule from 28s to 36s per 1001bs. Little of the descriptions suited to the American market is now to be had. Corn remains without change. Fleur—Small parcels of Baltimore are moved at 31s 6d to 325. The market is exceedingly heavy. We learn that the Northside is overstocked with the article, and that shipments thence are likely to be made coastwise. Freights—There is little left to be done, the principal portion of the vessels in harbour having teen taken up previous to our last issue. Nothing has since reached us.
