As the historian of the poor he will be long and honourably remembered. There is, to our thinking, something very noble and touching indeed in the assiduity with which he has conducted his researches into the con dition of the labouring classes of the metropolis, and, undeterred by the squalor and wretchedness encoun tered in those inquiries, proceeded resolutely in col lecting together the materials of his strange and melancholy revelations. During the past twelve months there have appeared in regular in stalments the result of his very remarkable experiences. Published unostentatiously among the cheapest class of periodicals, the importance of this extraordinary serial may possibly have been over looked by the undiscerning, its value as a contribu tion to the general stock of knowledge not being duly recognised and appreciated. With the future anna list of the reign of VICTORIA the great work here undertaken by Mr. MAYHEW will be held in very different estimation. It will be regarded in its true character as one of the most generous enterprises ever entered upon by one who was anxious to aid in ameliorating the condition of his fellow-crea tures, and to evidence while so doing a visible bene volence and a practical philanthropy. As the originator and conductor of this novel, we might even say unprecedented scheme, he himself remarks in the Preface to his first volume, now just issued from the press,* that the attempt may assuredly be considered curious, inasmuch as it '3 in truth an endeavour to " publish the history of a people from the lips of the people themselves," the entire com pilation being intended to form, when com pleted, a " cyclopmdia of the industry, the want, and the vice of the great Metropolis." Such au enterprise as this must indeed be acknowledged to possess a peculiar claim upon public curiosity, and a claim also, of no feeble kind, upon national admiration. Its mere suggestion would have be tokened a singular degree of beneficence. What, therefore, shall be said of its successful commence ment and gradually developing realization ? What ? But that its author has entitled himself to the good wishes of the community he has thus striven to relieve by the exposure of a multiplicity of evils—evils of a kind so terrible and of a magnitude so enormous that they must inevitably have induced any ordinary investigator to recoil from the horror of their mere enumeration. Estimating at this high value the fruits of these toils on the part of HENRY MAYHEW, it would, perhaps, be unfair to that gentleman, as well as to ourselves, if we were not to premise, while expressing these opi- nions, that personally we are altogether strangers to each other. It is consequently from no feelings less deserving of regard than those of conscientious and deliberate conviction, that we pronounce these simple but emphatic words of eulogium over the head of this true-hearted Englishman. That we are not exaggerating in any particular whatever the it of the volume just com pleted, we conceive that its homely but arresting nar rative affords a sufficient demonstration. In it are comprised accounts of the Street Sellers from the lips of the Street Sellers themselves, having especial re ference to the Patterers and Costermongers of the metropolis. Recollecting that the facts accumulated together in these pages have in every instance been owing to the personal inquiries of Mr. MAYHEW, and that very frequently indeed they have been recounted to him with a storm of tears and lamentations, evi• dencing in this manner their most lamentable authen ticity—the work it must be confessed assumes to itself a value beyond all price, the value of a truth alto gether unimpeachable. We might almost characterise it as a collection of autobiographies interspersed with illustrative remarks, and embellished with suggestive engravings from daguerreotypes. When it is remem bered that these histories of wretchedness and degra• dation have been obtained by HENRY MAYHEW solely through the industrious pertinacity of his researches ; when it is remembered, moreover, that those re searches have necessitated his entrance into the most abominable dens of London, the foulest rookeries, the most pestilential and squalid localities within the boundaries of the capital, it must be allowed that to him the public are indebted for a noble dis regard of personal inconvenience. The villanous and obscure haunts frequented by the lowest dregs of the community, the most loathsome dwellings of a class almost brutalised in their igno rance and licentiousness, scenes of unutterable pollu tion, and neighbourhoods notorious for the ferocity of their depraved inhabitants,—all,these places have bad to be scrutinized, all their horrid disclosures have had to be ransacked and detailed from the lips of beings whose ignominious debasement would have induced must men to recoil from their approach—before the work could be adventured upon which is here progressively advancing in its developement. HENRY MAYHEW has consequently had to set at nought all considerations of self in realizing his heroic ambition of assuaging the pangs of the poor by constituting himself their historian. Such he must henceforth be regarded, and as such he has secured to himself the respect and admiration of all right-thinking observers. His exertions in behalf of the general community have been and are still of no ordinary magnitude. In referring to them thus explicitly, we must, as one of the organs of journalism, do so in language of earnest and grateful panegyric, bidding him, moreover, a fervent God speed in the completion of his beneficent enterprise.

I.—The screw steam ship C ty of Glasgow, Captain Latch, arrived this morning from Philadelphia, whence she sailed on the 17th ult. bhe brings 15,000 dolls. in specie on freight. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Santiago arrived in the Mersey yesterday from Glasgow. She is of 1,100 tons bur den, with engines of 400 horse-power, and is intended to carry the mails between Panama, Callao, and Valparaiso. The Santiago will sail fur her destination on the 7th inst., touching on the passage at Rio Janeiro. HONESTY REWARDED —A few nights since, a re markable instance, showing the manner in which honest men a , e sometimes rewarded, occurred to a waterman, named Daniel Bowlas, of Rotherhithe. It appears a person of gen tlemanly appearance engaged Bowlas to ferry him across from Wapping Dock-stairs to Mr. Smith's, Church-stairs, Rotherhithe, about eleven o'clock at night. The fare was completed, and Bowlas went ashore. In about two hours afterwards the gentleman returned in great haste and much excited, making anxious inquiry for the waterman who had rowed him across the river. Bowlas was subsequently found, when the gentleman informed him that he had left a bag in his boat containing fifty sovereigns in gold. A light was im mediately procured, Ind, upon searching the boat, the mis sing money was discovered by Bowles lying under the seat. The gentleman (whose name is unknown) came ashore, greatly astonished at his fortunate recovery of the cash, and after thanking the waterman for his honesty, kindly gave him a pint of porter and then walked away. THE ASTRONOMER PUZZLED.—LittIe Boy—What's the use of an eclipse? Astronom,3r—Oh, I don't know! It gives the sun time for reflection.—Punch. Lord John Russell paid a visit to Osborne on Thursday. On arriving at Southampton at one P.M., his Lordship was informed that her Majesty's yacht Fairy would not arrive to take him to Cowes before nearly three P.M. Lord John, therefore, snugly ensconsed himself during the interval in one of the dock offices, and quietly read a book which he had with him. The Prime Minister returned to town yesterday by one of the early morning trains, accom panied by the Earl of Shelburne. ANOTHER POISONING CASE IN NORFOLS.—A young woman named Hannah Neale, residing in the village of Outwell, near Downham, has been committed for trial on a charge of having poisoned her husband. From the evidence adduced at the inquest it appeared that the accused had formed an intimacy with another man, and had, not long since, deserted her husband and family for a brief period, which she spent with her paramour. Soon after her return home her husband was seized with an illness of which he died, and the symptoms were of such a suspicious character that the surgeon in attendance determined on making an examination of the body. This proceeding was opposed by the widow, and the result was an inquest on Thursday last, when, after the examination of several witnesses, Hannah Neale was fully committed for trial at the next Norwich assizes for the wilful murder of her husband. SOYEi S SYMPOSIUM. — The usual Friday fete at Gore House, Kensington, passed off with great eclat. The public are greatly indebted to M. Soyer for the munificent manner in which these weekly fetes are provided for them. The grounds are beautiful, and when lit up surpass even Cremorne in point of display. The attendance was very nu merous. In addition to the other attractions, the visitors seemed to pay a marked attention to M. Soyer's cu i sine, the cheapness and co mfort of which is so efficiently displayed at. this establishment. The fireworks were of the usual magni ficent description.

In the House of Lords last night, Several Bills were forwarded a stage, A motion for papers by Earl TALBOT gave rise to a I conversation on the subject of the recent order regula ting retirements in the navy. The Royal assent was given by commission to the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill and several other public and private Bills, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at one o'clock yesterday, and sat on continuously. The New Zealand Settlement Bill was read a third time and paved. The Metropolitan Interments Bill wag reported from Committee, and ordered to stand for the third reading this day. The County Courts Further Extension Bill went through Committee. On the motion for the Committee of the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Management (No. 2) Bill, a pro kn4ed discussion ensued, in the course of which two attempts were made to postpone the Bill, both of which were, however, s uccessfully resisted; at length Lord J. RUSSELL suggested that the Bill should be committed pro forma, and be proceeded with on Monday next. This being adopted, the CHAIRMAN reported pro gress. with leave t o sit a g ain. The General Board of Health (No. 4) Bill went through Committee. Sir J. PAKINQTON moved a resolution declaring that in the opinion of the House the importers of sugar ought to be allowed to refine that article in bond, and after wards enter it for home consumption upon paying the same duties that are now levied ou refined sugars im ported into this country. Mr. LABOUCHERE opposed the resolution on the ground that the change sought for was not desired by the ma jority of sugar refiners, and that it would give great en couragement to fraud and evasion. Mr. MITCHELL supported the motion. The House was counted out at Nine o'clock. The election for the city of the " violated treaty" has virtually terminated. The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY 13 at this moment the represem tative for the city of Limerick, selected by a con stituency to which he was utterly unknown, and of which he was equally ignorant a few short weeks since. He was, however, looked upon as " a martyr for the faith," as one who had forfeited the seat he had previously occupied for his conscientious opposition to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. The sacerdotal influence was, therefore, readily exerted in his favour. Every priest was prepared to exert himself to the very utmost, to use not only ordinary, but what in this country would be regarded as very extraordinary efforts on behalf of the N oble Candidate. Every ecclesiastical engine was consequently put in motion—indulgences and threats, blandishments and fulminations were made equally available. Even the amiable and respected Roman Catholic Bishop of the diocese, a man of a character very different from the lion of Tuam or the lamb of Elphin, was induced to abandon the salutary rule he had adopted, and pro hoc vice, to interfere in secular affairs, and to engage in all the annoyance and tumult of a contested election. Under such circumstances the result may be easily anti- cipated. Mr. RUSSELL who, as we have already explained, had powerful claims on the suffrages of his fellow-citizens, and whose political opinions were in every respect analogous to those of his Noble Oppo• vent, found that the ecclesiastical influence, we should rather say, " domination," was too powerful , that there was not the slightest possible chance of . . _ success, and that his appearance at the hustings would most probably damage his future prospects. lie accordingly withdrew his pretensions at the eleventh hour, and Lord ARUNDEL and SUR REY has had a " walk over," and is at this moment the representative in Parliament for the third city of Ireland. So far as the Noble Lord is personally concerned, we can have no possible objection to this result. The heir-apparent of the eldest branch of the " HOWARDS," a man distinguished no less for his ancient blood and elevated position in society, than for the amiability end frankness of his disposition, who gained the friendship and respect of every person with whom he was acquainted, might have addressed, without pre sumption, any constituency in the United King dom; and it would be fortunate for the country if many such men could be found to undertake the cares and responsibilities inseparable from a seat in the elec tive branch of the Legislature. But there are mat ters connected with the case deserving of the most serious consideration, and which should not be lost sight of or forgotten when the new Reform Bill of 1852 is before Parliament. And first we ask, why it is that Lord ARUNDEL had at this period to look after "the most sweet voices" of any electors, English or Irish? Almost imme diately after the Noble Lord had attained his majority he was returned to Parliament for the town in which his father's influence was supposed to be paramount, and from which he himself derived his title. It has never been asserted that he was very closely cross examined on any political subject, or that serious differences had arisen between him and his consti tuents on any important question of general interest. So far as the " free and independent " electors of Arundel were concerned, the Noble Lord might have retained his seat until called in the ordinary course of human events to the Upper House. So far as they were concerned, he might have recommended " curry -powder " as a panacea for the starving Irish, or indulged i❑ other freak of fancy. He might have supported or opposed the Ministry, been Tory, Whig, or Radical, Protectionist or Free-trader at his mere will and pleasure. He might continue the unobtrusive course on which he had entered, or have "out-sibthorped SIBTHORP," without exciting a sensation in that ancient borough. But the Duke was its recognised patron ; he could not allow any interference with his privilege of " doing what he liked with his own," even though the delinquent was his heir-apparent, the successor to his titles and estates. He held an office under the Crown, which was supposed to ensure, not only his own support in the Lords, but the support of " his Members" or no minees in the Commons. Lord ARUNDEL, influenced we believe by strictly conscientious motives, thought proper to oppose a Government Bill—and through what influ ence we know not, he was compelled to resign his seat, to relinquish the position he had so long filled. Is this a fair representation or a gross delusion ? was the cloven: foot ever more clearly exhibited, or a stronger illustration afforded of the necessity, for further measures of reform and the insufficiency of the Act of 1832? It even goes farther than the case of the Duke of NEWCASTLE, when Earl of Lincoln, for although that Noble Lord obeyed the call of his father, and resigned his seat, he yet again offered himself as a candidate, and stood a close contest. But Lord ARUNDEL did no such thing. He was well aware of the de pendence of the constituency—that it was the Duke of Nourome for the time being who practically returned the Member—who might, if he thought proper, send in his footman as a legislator, and who was induced to exercise his power even at the ex pense of his nearest relative, by the liberal and reforming Ministry. Do not these simple facts speak trumpet-tongued?—do they not afford the most powerful and convincing arguments in favour of a large and comprehensive measure of Parliamentary reform ? There is another point in the case, which cannot be passed over without notice. The Duke of NORFOLK had scarcely acted in this cavalier manner towards the electors of Arundel, when Mr. Jonx O'CONNELL deals with the represen tation of another and_ more important constituency with almost equal nonchalance. He, however, re quired. the assistance of clerical coadjutors, or his P c. r is o e j d ect must have fallen to the ground. They spiritualexer cised despotism over the consciences of the voters a t prevented thepossibility of any appeal that domination against their dec w is a i s on b , eud p w - e have seen how fully supersede into practical operation when it could RUSSELL.

Vesin _ 254 Jules de Lasteyrie 242' li‘musat 238 Bixio Craton 2351 The National has the following on the result of the ballot of the Committee of Permanence : " Thus the fusion between the Ely sea and the Legiti matist party is a fait accompli. bIJI. Berryer, Felloux, and Vatimesnil have kept the promise which they gave to their new master. M. Bonaparte can now mingle the lilies to the bees on his arms ; the royal shield has been delivered up to him. Yesterday the sons of the heroes of La Vendee and Britanuy, the knights of the army of cone& have recognised the legitimacy of the nephew of the usurper, and passed in the trail of the Dix-Decembre. Some men, of aproud spirit and generous mind, refused to follow the movement of defection, and remained faith ful to their flag. But what can that signify, since they are but a few? We long since foretold what is now taking place; and we are glad of it, for nothing can be more instructive for the people than to see the cause of Bonapartism already supported by the absolutist powers, by M. de Montalembert and the clerical party receiving the support of the men of the white flag." The Presse has the following on the same subject : "Yes, the fusion is effected; but not that which M. G uizot, M. Duchatel, and the journal the Asseniblee Nationale had undertaken to effect between the Legiti matists and Orleanists; that is completely ended: the fusion that is made is that which M. Berryer, M. de Falloux, and the journal the Union have succeeded in effecting between the Legitimatists and the Bona partists. There are no longer any Legitimatists, titers are only Bonapartists of two shades—Tories and Whigs. This result is ascribed to the fruitless journey which M. Berryer, M. de St. Priest, and M. Benoist d'Azy recently made to Claremont. M. Berryer has taken his revanche at the expense of Claremont, but the half of the cost, at least, will be paid by Count de Chambord. Never speak more of Henri V.; there is no more any Henri V.; there is no longer a pretender to the throne; there is only an exile at Frohsdorff. It was worth not the trouble to cry three months ago with so much noise, Forward! forward !' " The Ordre has a long article in reply to the at tack of the Constitulionnel on M. TIMM. The con clusion alone is important, because it may be re garded as an almost official announcement that the Prince DE JOINVILLE is a candidate for the Presi- dency. '• If," says the Ordre," Dr. Veron, who attributes, we know not on what foundation, to M. Thiers and to the African generals the project of bringing forward and supporting the candidateNhip of the Prince do Joinville, imagines that he will injure that candidateship in op posing his authority to that of the illustrious represen tatives whom ho names or indicates, it is the most gro tesque of illusions which has ever entered into the head of the most puerile vanity." The following are the principal items of the weekly Bank accouut:— Francs.

The Portfolio has in creased eight millions in Paris, and better than 1,500,000 in the branches. It must be noticed, however, that such increases are not uncommon in the last week of the month's account, when the Bank accepts very short bills for the sake of easing the settlement at the Bourse. Tho issue of notes has increased nearly 13 millions, and nearly 1f for the branches. The credit to the Treasury is somewhat under what it was the previous week. The moderate character of the members chosen by the Assembly to form the Commission of Permanence gave increased confidence to the speculators at the Bourse, and Government Stock was sought for at an advance.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 10,000 bales, including 2,000 for export and on speculation. The market was steady at previous rates.—Railway Shares were very firm at rather higher prices. The returns of the Bank of England, up to the 26th ultimo, exhibit still some changes resulting from the ter mination of the financial quarter. The public deposits increased, which would indicate an earlier receipt of income than usual, but might arise fromithe clearance of so much sugar under the new scale of duties. The other deposits were reduced, and owing to the readier employment obtained for money, are likely to be further trenched upon. The loans and discounts were smaller in amount. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows: Notes Issued ... Decrease ...

Decrease ... ••• Active Circulation... ••1 Decrease ... ••• There was a slight decline yesterday in the rates at which bills of exchange were negotiated on the principal continental cities. Paris receded to 25 20, to 224 for three months' paper. Antwerp was steady at 25 20 to 25 25. Amsterdam remained at about 11 174 to 84. Hamburgh was a shade lower, and Trieste rose a little, being 11 43 to 46. We hear nothing more defi nite concerning the Austrian loan, although the tendency of the exchanges would seem to indicate that the great continental houses are assisting the Go vernment at Vienna in this way, calculating that one portion of the new loan can be disposed of in Paris and London. The contract is said to be taken, but although the amount has been named as being 60,000,000 florins, and the price 93 for a five per cent. stock, payable in twelve monthly instalments, there is nothing positive known. The loan seems to be distributed among dif ferent houses abroad, including the Rothschilds of Paris, Arnstein and Eskells of Vienna and others, and privately certain London firms are said to have been invited to co operate. The new French loan of 2,000,000/, will, no doubt, be all taken at Paris. The shareholders in the Royal British Bank held their meeting yesterday, and a dividend at the rate of five per cent. per annum was declared. The committee of Spanish bondholders have received official information of the telegraphic dispatch as to the passing of the Bill regulating the debt, and it will have immediately the sanction of the Queen. The quantity of gold exported from London during the week to Thursday, was 23,708 ounces of gold, and 158,589 ounces of silver, the latter chiefly to Holland and Belgium, and the former to France. The official returns of the exports from the United Kingdom for the month, to the sth July, are favourable, viz:— Month, 1850 £5,750.556 Month, 1851 The English Funds are extremely quiet. Consols are 96i 4 for Transfer and Account. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been 984 and the Three per Cents., 974 to a. India Stock is at 2611. The pre mium on Exchequer-bills is 44s to 475. There is a very thin attendance. Foreign Stocks are firm though neglected. Spanish Five per Cents., 211 to nomiaally. Mexican 31 to Brazilian, small, 89k. Dutch Four per Cents. 92i- to 934. Shares are rather heavy, and there is a paucity of business. The directors of the Dutch Rhenish Railway have de cided that in no case will they make a " call" exceeding 10s. per share. QUARTER TO THREE.

Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have arrived. Their contents are unimportant. The following telegraphic dispatch of the 30th ult. has been received in Paris : " Madrid, 30, half-past 6 in the Evening. "THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " The President of the Council of Ministers has an nounced officially to the Cortes the prorogation of the session." GERMANY. A Frankfort journal states that the Germanic Diet has now under discussion a proposition for replacing the Austrian and Prussian Commissioners in Holstein by a Minister Plenipotentiary, directly representing the Diet in the n egotiations with Denmark. The Cassel Gazette states that the Bavarian troops are to evacuate Cassel on the 4th; and the Austrians some days later. A few days since when the answer of the Diet to the English and French protest was communicated to Lord COWLEY and to M. DE TALLNAY, these dip lomatists said that the matter must not be considered as settled, and that in a short time the Diet would receive a more detailed prot est, proving that the question is not an internal one, but one that concerns the whole of Europe. Lord COWLEY especially ex pressed himself very strongly on the subject. Gti EEG& Letters from Athens state that General GRIVAS, the Grand Chamberlain, and who possessed great in fluence over the QUEEN, has been dismissed from office, and ordered to quit Athens: LAMB AND FLAG RAGGED SCHOOLS, LAMB -COURT, CLERKENWELL-GREEN.—On Monday evening these schools presented a most interesting sight, a public tea meeting of the parents and friends of the children taking place. Pro bably few such assemblies of sweeps, costermongers, dust men, &c., at a public tea meeting, could be witnessed In London or elsewhere. Amongst the noted characters present we observed, near the platform, one of the royal family of the gipsies ; numbers of reformed drunkards were present, and the principal gratuitous waiter, a costermonger, has formerly, we are informe ', when costermongering was a thriving busi ness, spent as much as three pounds a week in drink ; he is now wholly reformed. A most striking example is furnished by this district of the untold benefits of the City mission, by which these schools, as well as most ragged schools in Lon don (amongst others the well-known Field-lane schools), have been founded. A devotional meeting succeeded the tea, at which various exceedingly appropriate spiritual ad dresses were delivered by the missionary of the district, Mr. Vanderkiste ; the superintendent of the schools, Mr. Watts; and others. Some present, probably meditating on their for mer wretched condition, were observed to shed tears.
