The Porte wished to deprive the Paella of this power, which would be toreduce him to a cipher in the eyes of the half-civilized people he had to go vern. To take from him the power of capital punish ment would be to destroy that prestige which is in dispensable to enable him to govern, and there certainly was never less causo for withdrawing that po',ver than in the case of Egypt. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he understood it was very sparingly exercised. Mr. ANDERSON replied that he had it from authority on which he considered he could place reliance, that the number of sentences of capital punishment car ried into execution during the last five years was only three. Alluding to the published replies of Lord Palmerston to various memorials which have been presented to him on the sub ject, Mr. Anderson observed that his Lordship had alluded (no doubt with the requisite official caution) to the questions between the Porte and the Pacha as being of mere form and etiquette, but there were facts to show that what he Mr. Anderson would call the aggre;sive proceedings of the Porte had a much deeper design; that they were the result of an intrigue at Constantinople, having for its object to deprive the present Paella of the government of Egypt by first taking from him the power necessary to maintain order i❑ it, and then to make its disorder a pretext for removing him from the governorship, reducing it to the state of an ordinary pachalic, getting the appro priation of its revenue into the hands of the Divan of Constantinople, and obtaining through its adminis tration a wide field for providing for the creatures of the Turkish Court and Cabinet. In furtherance of these objects, it was well-known that numerous emissaries have been lately actively at work in Egypt among the ignorant Fellahs and ferocious Bedouins, depreciating the Pacha's authority, and prompting them to set it at defiance; and that the result has already shown itself in a serious insurrection in the province of Sherkie, not far from the route of the Indian mail, and which it required a considerable body of troops to put down. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in reply to the deputation, stated that subsequently to Lord Palmerston's letter of the 14th ult., dispatches had been received from Sir Stratford Conning on the 31st, stating that he expected that a finnan of the Court, authorising the construction of the railway in Egypt would be signed in the course of a few days; and that Sir Stratford gave such assurances on the subject as left but little doubt upon his (Lord John Russell's) mind that it would then be compelled. He further stated that the matter bad engaged the .close attention of Lord Palmerston, who had used every exertion to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion ; but that he had had dif ficulties to contend with, inasmuch as the question was one of some delicacy in arranging it with the Porte. In reply to a question from Lord Jourt RUSSELL, relative to the last point referred to in the memorial, Mr. ANDERSON explained that about eight years since an agreement was proposed, but not concluded, with Mehemet Ali, with a view to the permanent se curity of the India mail transit through Egypt, and that the memorialists thought it advisable that a simi lar arrangement should be effected with the present Dacha. The deputation then withdrew, thanking his Lord ship for the courteous reception and the satisfactory statement they had received from him. On the folio wing day (Wednesday) the chairman (Mr. Gregson) had the satisfaction to receive a fur ther communication from Lord John Russell, ac- quainting him by letter of that date, "that more re cent dispatches have now been received, which con firm still further the statement which his Lordship had the pleasure to make yesterday to the depu- ation." ST. ALBAIN"S BUIBERY COMMISSION. The inquiry was resumed yesterdly at the usual hour. Mr. Thomas Harris, straw-hat manufacturer, was the first witness called. He stated that he took an active part in the election of 1847, on behalf of Mr. Willa. He was the person through whose hands the money passed. received, altogether, 6601. The first sum he received was a chi quo to Mr. Gibb's and himself, which they afterwards drew by their joint cheque. This was given just before Mr. Wilks came down to St. Alban's. Mr. Gibbs was a printer in the town. He had seen Mr. Wilks himself, before that, but had not told him what sum was required. The second payment was made on the morning of the nomination by Mr. Wilks himself, and amounted to 2001. Another sum of 150/, was given him, by a cheque, from a friend of Mr. Wilks, on the day of election. He did not know who that friend was. This was all the money he received from Mr. Wilks by way of a pros:Alt, befor.o he yet knew whether he would become a candidate or not. Witness rendered to Mr. Wilks an account of the expenditure. The 6601. which he received was all expended, and a few pounds more, which came out of witness's own pocket. He was, in fact, a loser by the election to the extent of some 31. or 41. Witness was aware that money had been paid in bribery. Witness himself had paid bribes to some six or seven voters only. lie gave them 51. each. Witness had never much haggling as to the price. Mr. Slade-How do you account for Mr. Edwards's great influence among the electors? Though his candi date was latest in the field in 1847, ho succeeded in placing him at the head of the poll. How du you ac count for that? Mr. Harris said that, in the first place, Edwards was a greater adept in election matters than witness was; in the next place, Mr. Edwards had more money at his disposal than he had, and there was no doubt that any man with a great sum at his command, and who was an adept in the practices of bribery, whether Mr. Edwards or anybody else, would be sure to carry the election. Witness gave Mr. George Perry 751., but not for his own vote. Perry said to him one day-" If you do not come out you will lose the election." Witness perfectly understood that by the words " coming out," Perry meant bribery. Perry also said he knew fifteen voters who had not signed the requisition to Mr. Wilks, nor promised him their votes who might be induced to vote for him if they received Si. a piece. Witness gave him 751. for that purpose. Witness impressed upon Perry the ne cessity of returning soon with a list of the names of the voters to which ho had referred, but he never saw him again till after the election. Perry had since rendered an account of his expenditure. The first name on the list was his own for 101.-(Laughter.) Another name was down for 101., and several others fur 51. each. It did not, however, account for 15 voters, nor did witness get 15 more votes than he had expected. Si. out of the 75/. were returned to witness. Witness was brother-in law of Mr. Edwards, and had sometimes acted with him in election matters, but was opposed to him in 1847. He understood that money was passed to voters in Mr. Willis's interest by Mr. Webster. Up to within two or three days of the election there was no money spent upon votes for Mr. Willis. Oat of the 230 votes ten dered for Mr. Wilks 200 were unpaid for, so far as he knew. The number of unpaid voters included people of the lower as well as the better class. Mr. Willis was supported generally by what was called the " Spencer party," but that was a very small body indeed, and never exceeded 70 votes at most. It was difficult to trace political parties in St. Alban's, they were so merged in money matters. There were, however, some honourable exceptions, of course. Mr. Webster was recalled, and stated that he acted for Mr. Wilks in 1847. He received 201. from Harris, and distributed it among nine voters. The highest sum he paid was 81., and the lowest Si. Mr. George Perry was then examined. He stated that he received 751. at Mr. Wilke's election to give to voters. He made no agreement to procure 15 or any number of votes. According to his recollection, he paid for 11 votes. He expended 70/. out of the 75/. He re turned the other 51. In some of the cases he paid 5/. or better for votes. Some of the money went in general expenses. He gave so much money away he did nut know how much ho kept for himself, but he kept a little. All the 11 persons to whom he paid money afterwards voted for Mr. Wilks. Mr. Vass got 10/. from him to give to a voter. That was one of the 11. Mr. Vass was here called. He admitted having re ceived 10/. from Mr. Perry. He gave 11. to a man, and the rest he put into his own pocket. Mr. Alfred Bailly was next examined.-He stated that he was on Mr. Craven's committee in 1847. Mr. Gibson, the agent for Mr. Craven, told him that Mr. Craven was coming to St. Alban's as a candidate, and said that 20 persons were to receive 20/. each to act as a committee for him. Mr. Gibson asked if witness would agree to act as one of the committee. Witness said he held a situation on the County Press, and if the pro prietors consented he had no objection. lie was told that there would be no opposition to Mr. Craven, and that Mr. Repton and he would be allowed to walk over the course. Witness said to Mr. Gibson, " What is to become of Mr. Edwards, who has always taken so active a part in these matters?" Mr• Gibson said, " Edwards will have nothing to do with the elec tion this time. We are not to act either with him or Mr. Blagg." Witness ultimately agreed to act on the committee, but was never paid the 20/. Witness re• ceived 6/., and one of these he paid to a voter, and t he other Si. he spent. Mr. Vasswas the person through whose hands the money generally passed. Mr. Vass told him that one member of the committee (Mr. Richardson) had received 100/. Mr. Vass was here recalled. He was a member of Mr. Craven's committee, and received 3001. for the pur pose of promoting his election. He could never have said to Mr. Bailly that Mr. Richardson, or any ono else, had receiv e d 1001. of the 3001. which ' witness received. fie spent 969/. 18s. in he a d- money A great untidy of them received 1011por: 20 or 50 voters. each. He put 30/. of it in his own pocket for his services. Ho afterwards got 201. more, making 50/. in all. Mr. Bennett was here called, andon n o said he had under stood Mr. V ass to h ave a d m i tte d occasion that lie knew Mr. Ri c h ar d son h a d received 1001. Mr. Vass explained that the circumstance was just the reverse of what was supposed; the fact being tnat the :MA which witness had received for th e Wilke's electi on, was part l y ma d e up purposes of Mr. I y 1 00/, which he had received th roug h M r . Ri c h ar d so :- Mr. LiChardSOLl WAS thou examined ou the aubjeot. lie said he •received either from Mr. Craven, or Mr. Gibson, his agent, a cheque for 1001,, which he handed over to Mr. Vass for tee general purposee of the elec tion. Ho said nothing to Mr. Vass about the particular mode in which the money was to be excendad. Witness begged to be allowed to declare solemnly that, for the twenty years he hal taken part in elections, he had never received a sovereign himself; either fir his vote or his services. He was not cognizant of the mode in which Mr. Vass disposed of the money beyond the fact that he understood that the twenty members of committee were to receive 201. each. Mr. Harris was recalled, and stated that Mr. Wilks knew nothing whatever of the money he gave to witness being used in any improper manner. Mr. Blagg here produced a regular list of the electors who voted for slr. Hepton, the Conservative candidate in July, 1847, who did not receive head-money. The number 136.—(Their names were road. It will, perhaps, be remembered that the number who voted for Mr. Rep ton on that occasion was 276, so that 140 must have re ceived head-money). He also produced a list of those who voted for Mr. Garden in 1850, and who had received money for their votes at the election of 1847. The number was 32. He also produced an analyss of the register of 1850-51. The number of 10/. voters on the register was 354; scot and lot voters, 66; free men, 63; total, 483. The number of 101. voters who usually took money was 212; scot and lot voters, 65; freemen, 31; total 308. Of these there were 141 Con servatives, and 167 Liberals. 'rho number of ten pounders who did not take money was 142; scot and lot voters, 1; freemen, 32; total, 175. Of these 104 were Conservatives, and 71 Liberals. The number who would vote for a Conservative candidate without solicitation was 74; and the number who would do the like for Liberals was 44. The number of persons who voted at the election in December, 1850, was 423; dead or re moved, 8; neuter, 52; total names on the register, 483. Mr. Edwards stated that he had gone over the lists with Mr. Blagg, and was satisfied of their accuracy: Mr. Gresham was here put into the' witness-box at his own request. He denied the truth of the statement which had been made by Mr. Edwards in his first exa mination, that i❑ the conversation he had with him at the outset of last election he offered his services for ten guineas a-day, or, indeed, for any sum. Neither did he say how he would vote. His object in calling on Ed wards was to know what candidates were in the field, and in the course of conversation he stated that there were many members of the bar who would be glad of the position of member for the borough, and he mentioned the name of Sir Fitzroy Kelly and others. He never said he was determined to have a " slice" of what was going on in the borough, but he admitted that he said he would not be quiet, and he presumed no one would say that he had.—(Laughter.) The Commissioners then proeeeded to examine those voters who were said to have received money for their votes either at the last election or that in 1847. Between 50 and 60 were examined in succession up to the hour of adjournment, most of whom frankly admitted that they had received money (principally 5/0 for their votes. in general they stated that they voted for Mr. Bell in 1850, and for Mr. Raphael and Mr. Repton in 1847. One or two hesitated to say that the money was given for their votes. On being pressed to say what they had received it for, they replied that they did not know; Mr. Edwards never said what it was for, and they never asked. Others said they supposed they must have re ceived it for their votes. Several said that they had re ceived the money for their services during the election as spies, messengers, Lc. The following are a few o the more remarkable cases:— William Brown stated that in December, 1850, Mr. Edwards called and left 51. at his bedside. Witness was then lying very ill. He believed that his wife took it, and perhaps put it in her pocket, but he knew nothing about it. Mr. Agutter, sen., master tailor, said, that in Decem ber, 1850, he received 151. from Mr. D. Hudson. Mr. Hudson did not tell him for what purpose. Ho kept 71. 10s. of it to himself and gave 71. 103. to his brother in-law, Mr. Simons, of Harpenden. Witness rendered no Services for the money. He supposed he received it for his vote. He had voted previously to receiving it, but had not been canvassed by anybody. He received the same amount in 1847. J. King, publisher, said he received Si. at last election, but not for his vote. He would not have taken it as a bribe, for he detested the system. He received the 5/. for 200 polling-cards which he had supplied to Mr. Raphael's committee. The cards were printed for him in London. He was not a printer himself. lie paid 12s. for the card-paper, 7s. for cutting it the proper size, and 15s. for printing; in all, 11, 145.; but to that had to be added his travelling expenses to and from Loudon, and his bed and board there for two days. The curds were the size of an octavo volume, and wore worth sixpence each. Fourpenoe each would certainly not be an unfair price. Mr. D. Hudson stated that ho had received nothing for himself, but that he had received 151. from Mr. Edwards to give to Mr. Agutter, sen., for the three votes of himself, his son, and his brother-in law (Mr. Simons). Mr. Agutter said there must be some mistake about his son; he did not receive anything. Neptune Smith stated that he received 5L or 61. for his services, which were principally keeping the peace. Mr. Phin—ln short, you were a fighter; were you not ? Witness—Well, I believe I can do a little in that way—(Laughter);—but I am a man of peace for all that. During the election, when there was likely to be any disorder in the street, I would go up to the party and say, " Come, my lads, let's have pot of beer," and I generally found that they were readier to fight a pot of beer than to have a punch in the head.—(Laughter.) He was usually employed at all elections to keep the peace. _ Joseph Kentish (an old man of 76) received 51. in 550. Mr. Edwards laid it down on the table and he picked it up. Mr. Edwards merely told him that h© looked as young as he did ten years ago, and told him that the money was for a Christmas dinner. Francis Brown received 5/. i❑ 1850 from Mr. Ed- wards, but not for his vote. It was simply for supplying three pieces of music, worth in all perhaps 10s. When he received that money he had not made up his mind how he would vote. Ultimately he neither voted for Mr. Bell nor any one else. He could only account for Mr. Edwards's giving him so large a sum for the music by supposing that it was a friendly act on his part at a time when he was very much distressed, having a wife lying dangerously ill, and a large family. George Taylor, boot and shoemaker, admitted having received 11/. at the last election from Mr, Low, but not 'or his vote. It was for his services. lle was out day and night, and left his business for a month—" the more fool I," he added. In 1847 he received 25/. from Mr. Blagg, and 101. from Mr. Edwards for his services. He received 101. of Mr. Blagg's money some few weeks prior to the election, with the view of " keeping him quiet," in other words to prevent him attempting to bring forward a third man, and occasioning a contest. He denied the truth of the statement which had been made by Mr. Edwards on the previous day, to the effect that, in addition to the 35/. just alluded to, he received 51. from Mr. Blagg, and the same from Mr. Edwards, to bring up a particular voter, which he failed to do. The truth was, that ho received only 3/. from Mr. Edwards for that purpose, and that he spent it all but 7s. 6d. on the object. Mr. Blagg and Mr. Edwards both admitted they might have been mistaken in supposing otherwise. Mr. Phin (to Taylor)—Why were you opposed to Mr. Blagg at the last election? Witness—Because I liked to soo a bit of fun, and thought that others would like to see it also—(Laughter.) Mr. Phin—Was it not because you wished to see money flowing in consequence of a contest ? Witness—Well, I did not object to the money, of course.—(Laughter.) Stephen Morris—Received 51. at last election. It was said to be for his services, but he supposed it must have been for his vote, for he did nothing more. Mr. Phin—That is a very honest answer. Witness added that he never had a vote before, and did not want one again. The groat majority of the voters examined on this occasion seemed to be of the class of working men, and rather advanced iu years. They almost all appeared in their every-day attire, just as they had left their work. The examinations seemed to be watched with considerable interest by the inhabitants. The Commission adjourned at a quarter-past three till Tuesday next at halt-past ten, when the examination of the remaining voters who are said to have received bribes will be proceeded with. It is expected that the inquiry will be brought to a close on Wednesday next. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

B. Grindon, Esq., commenced an in quiry on the body of William Eacott, the captain of the boat, who, it will be remembered, was not killed on the spot, but died a few hours after his removal to the Bristol Royal In firmary. Evidence of the facts as stated yesterday having been given, other evidence was adduced, showing that the engineer had driven the boat at so fast a pace as to excite terror in his companions, and that on one occasion he had trigged down the valve. The Coroner having summed up, the jury found that the deceased died through the bursting of a steam-boiler. The Coroner intimated that had the en gineer lived, a verdict of manslaughter would have been re turned.

The hero of Prefeesofereasy's series of "Unsuccess ful Great M en " ia for the present rneath Kosciu , ko, of whom we have ashort but admirably written biogra phy; it is well, just at this present moment, when the thrt e Brigand Powers are again menacing Europe, that the history of the infamous partition of Poland should he recalled to recollection. They are now menacing and intriguing in and against the French Republic as they were then against the Polish king dom ; let us hope that they may not find a second Stan islaus to betray hi s t rus t , s i nce, s h ou ld th e y n ot, they will be driven back with disgrace across the Niemen, and Poland will again be free. Mr. Alfred Cole continues his interesting and valuable work on the Cape and the Kafirs. He paid a visit to the Kafir chief Macoino, whom he describes as an ugly drunken reprobate, but shrewd, intriguing, and like all Kafirs by nature, a thief and a swindler. He describes the Kafir as a fine animal, tall, well formed, active and graceful in his movements, and very muscular ; his features do not at all resemble those of the Negro, and his cplour varies from almost black to a light copper. The Hottentot seems to be inferior both intellectually and physically to the Kafir; the missionaries appear to have taken the Hot tentots under their elieLdal care, with what effect let Mr. Cole, an eye-witness of their labours, narrate : " Out of every hundred Hottentot Christians (so called) I will venture to declare that ninety-nine are utterly ignorant of any correct notion of a future state. I speak from experience. I have frequently been by the bed-side of the sick and dying Hottentot, who has been a constant attendant at some missionary chapel, and Idlave asked him whether he has any fear of dying. He has smiled, and said, None.' I have asked him whether he expects to go to heaven, and he has answered No." Where then?' Nowhere.' I have endeavoured to explain to him that his minister must have taught him the doctrine of a future state of rewards and punishments. He has laughed, and said, that perhaps it might be so for the master, but not for him; he lies down and dies, that is all—that is enough.' This I have heard over and over again from the lips of some of the pet' Christians of missionaries—model men, whom they talk of and point cut to every 'griffin' in the colony, and write long communications about to their societies in England. " The reader, then, will naturally inquire, why these men pretend to be Christians at all? I will answer him. There are two grand inducements—in the first place, the Hottentot Christian feels himself a more important person, from the notice taken of him by the missionaries and their friends: in the second place, it is of very great pecuniary advantage to him. Each missionary station has a tract of land belonging to it, on which are built the chapel, the school•house, the minister's residence, &o. A Hottentot has only to go and attend the school and chapel regularly, and to play the devout well, when ho will be allowed to erect a hut on the land, and a small piece of ground will be given him as a garden. lie will be supplied with implements and seeds, and by doing a little work about once a week ho can thus live all the rest of the time in idleness. In a country where labour is so dear, he can at any time earn a few shillings on the nearest farm, if he wants any little luxury, and will condescend to da a day's work. But it is notorious, that these people, living at the missionary stations, are the idlest and most useless set of people in the colony. I once knew a man who, at a sale, purchased sixty or seventy head of cattle. He wanted a herd or two to drive them home to his farm—a couple of days' journey off. He rode to a missionary station hard by, and offered, first, fair wages to any two men who would come with him; he then increased his offers (seeing an unwilling ness on the part of the people) till they became absurdly large. No ono would stir, though there were dozens living there in utter idleness, and with no ties but those of sheer laziness to detain them. He then called on the missionary, and begged him to intercede and persuade two men to accompany him. That gentleman, however, declined to interfere: and when my friend asked him whether he thought he was conferring a benefit on the Hottentots by encouraging them in idle habits, he re plied, that he never interfered save for their spiritual' advantage, which he thought would be more secured by their remaining in that peaceful spot—where, by the way, promiscuous intercourse between the SeXOS was winked at, if not absolutely sanctioned. " My friend rode away, leaving two or three dozen able• bodied men behind him, living in a state of com plete idleness, and yet unable to procure even two ' for love or money to drive home his cattle. Like a sen sible fellow, ho did it himself. " The consequence of this system is, that you cannot frighten a farmer more seriously than by telling him that a missionary station is going to bo established near him. Visions of daily desertion by his servants float across his mind's eye, and he feels strongly inclined to devote all missionaries to a place which is occasionally coupled with Connaught.' ' There cannot be a doubt but that the ill-advised, al though no doubt well-intentioned efforts of the mis- sionaries, encouraged as they have unfortunately oc casionally been by crochetty Secretaries and Under- Secretaries of State, have contributed in no small degree to alienate the colonists from the mother country, and to produce the present disastrous state of affairs at the Cape of Good Hope. The anecdotal memoirs of Prince Kaunitz and the Due de Choiseul are pleasant reading., and " Major O'Shaugnessy's Adventure on the Duke's Moors" is a rich story, racily told. A review of Mignet's recently published Life of Mary Queen of Scots is illustrated by a portrait of Mary when Dau phiness of France; which, if a portrait, is certainly ' not calculated to sustain Mary's reputation for personal beauty; her features, as represented in this engraving are hard, masculine, and coarse, and there fore we are i nc li ne d to doubt its authenticity, although Niel gives it in the" Illustres Francais du IGme Siecle." We have the commencement of a biogra- ' phical notice by the Count de la Merck, the friend of Mirabeau, who managed the conduct of the negotiations between Mirabeau and Louis XVI., to whom Mira beau on his death-bed confided the proofs of his per fidious betrayal of the cause of his country. The present instalment, however, only gives the adven tures of De la Marck up to the period of his return to Paris at the conclusion of the war of independence in America, so that we must wait until next month for the most interesting portion of the biography. The " Zoological Notes' are continued, leopards be ing the subject of the present chapter.

Fox and Ilenderaon, enderson, the contractors, and the validity of those equitable claims founded thereon to which the character of the work and the out lay in its completion have given which they rise. Before we state the terms of the de c i s i on at this subject, it is neces sar y to laiarrived d w u h p ic o h n ex may help the public to a soundi 'sicloi? an" n with regard to it. The original contract for the e lo cl uil . buildingprovided that a ,sum of 79,8001. should b e pa i d for l the use of it to wards the purposes of the Exhibition and and in the event of ita purchase, the p r i ce was fixed l at 150,0001.; but it also had attached to it a sche d u l e of prices according to which all additional work not included in the specification was to be executed. The addi tional work so provided for and found to bo re quired in the progress of the undertaking raised the contemplated expenditure of 79,800/. for the hire of the building to 109,0001,, and that amount has been nearly paid under the strict terms of the contract. When, therefore, the period arrived for a final settle ment with Messrs. Fox and Henderson, supposing that the Royal Commissioners had determined to buy the building, the price of 150,000/, fixed at the outset must have undergone in conformity with their contract a pro portionate increase, and would have stood at about 205,0001. With the question in this position, it be came known that the contractors, pressed by time, by the additional outlay which it rendered unavoidable, by the increased work put upon ',them, which made the whole still more difficult to accomplish within a limited period—deprived, too, in a great measure, of the power of effectually controlling their outlay for labour, and driven, as the public will remember, to a day almost for the completion of a work in which the credit of the country for punctuality was deeply im plicated—it became known that if held to the strict letter of their bond they would be h eavy losers. Then it must be remembered that the tran sept roof and the architectural decorations of M r . Owen Jones and Mr , Barry were executed gratuitously. The Royal Commission could not, under the circum stances, have stood rigidly upon their contract in the event of its being determined that the building should be pulled down. The very novelty of the undertaking pleaded on behalf of the equitable claims which the contractors possessed upon their overflowing exchequer. It was therefore foreseen that when the fate of the Crystal Palace had been settled definitively, if its pur chase right out was not in some shape or other provided for, the amount that the contractors were out of pocket in its construction must be taken into serious considera tion. The Royal Commission have not, as yet, of course, finally decided with reference to the building, but, un less we are very much mistaken, they have approached as near a conclusion as to render th© event certain. Without waiting for the moment to which they might have postponed Messrs. Fox and Henderson's equitable claims, and when, had they been resolved to give up the Crystal Palace, they could alone have considered those claims advantageously to themselves and the public, they, at their meeting on Thursday, adopted the follow ing minute : It was resolved, that although under ordinary cir cumstances the payment of a higher sum than that agreed upon for work executed under a contract, after public tender, is highly objectionable and would establish a very dangerous precedent, and although the Commis sion could admit no claim on the part of the contractors, yet that they were of opinion that, under the circum stances recapitulated in the report of Lord Granville and Sir William Cubitt, Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co. should be secured against ultimate positive loss, and that the sum of ' 0001, as recommended in the above Ireport, sh ou ld e f o rthwith advanced to them, upon their written a g ement to abide by such terms and con ditions as the Commissioners may hereafter prescribe. " It was also agreed that the further questions raised in that report, as to the final verification and settlement of the accounts, and as to the conditions to be imposed in case of the materials being sold for a higher sum than that estimated, should be referred to the Finance Com mittee. EVENING, NOVEMBER B, MM. " The abcmc conditions agrecd to. " CHARLES Fox, " Nov, 6, 1851." " JOHN HENDERSON, r This document may fairly be accepted as an unmis• talreable proof that the Crystal Palace is to be preeervcd. A structure which has now cent 144 000/, and which has excited the admiration of the ;hole world, which illus trates a new order of architecture, which housed the Great Exhibition of 1851, and was its chief wonder, which is adapted to serve many public wants, and the entire future uses of which, though many of them are apparent, it is impossible at present to estimate—such a structure, we may confidently predict, will not be wan tonly sacrificed to an idle conceit. The vanity which would destroy a building in order to make the event which gave rise to it live more splendidly in the me mory is entirely unworthy the sound sense and the practical wisdom of this age and country. The Exhibi tion of 1851 loses half its significance if it is to be re garded as more tha❑ a step in the industrial march of the world, leading us onwards and upwards to triumphs of a still loftier and more stupendous character. As long es the qtn,:,tion of retaining the building in volved a racrifice of not more than 79,0001., ,the arguments pro and con, might, perhaps, have been con sidered fairly balanced. Tho increased amount of the surplus secured by pulling it down, the avoidance of heavy expenses for necessary repairs, and a variety of other considerations, weighed heavily in favour of that alternative. When, however, tbo actual expenditure under the contract rose to 109,0001., and when it became evident that beyond that amount the contractors were serious losers, and under circumstances of such a cha racter that the Royal Commission could not equitably hold them to the strict letter of their agreement, then the policy of preserving the building could no longer b.l doubted. Obviously acting upon this conviction, the Royal Commission have adopted the foregoing resolu tions, and as Lord Joh❑ Russell was present on the occa sion and, with Lord Granville, voted in favour of them, it is no great stretch of assumption to infer that the Government are prepared to complete the purchase of the Crystal Palace, and thus give effect to the wishes, not only of the public, but, if we have not been misin formed, of the Queen herself upon this subject.—Times. ROYAL SOHO THEATRE, (LATE MISS KELLY'S). On Thursday evening last wo visited this little theatre, and witnessed the performance of Othello and The Honey Moon, and cannot refrain from complimenting Mr. Gil bert, the manager, upon the very creditable style in which these pieces were represented;•indeed, we have seldom seen a better amateur performance. The Othello of Mr. E. Lewis, and the lago of Mr. Godfrey were both well studied and admirably delivered, and deserve great praise. The short but difficult part of Cassio, by Mr. Grantham, is also worthy of notice, inasmuch as he ac quitted himself with a discretion not at all times ob served by the representatives of that part. In short, all did well. The ladies, Miss Jane Montagu and Miss E. Parry, were very pleasing and judicious in their delinea tion of Desdemona, and Amelia. In the afterpiece of The Honey Moon, reduced to three acts, Mr. Grantham sustained the part of the Duke in a manner that con firmed the good impression he made upon us in Cassie, and was most ably supported by Miss E. Parry, as the Duchess. Mr. Smith, as Count Montalbane, was also deserving of notice. KOSSUTH. KOSSUTH DEMONSTRATION IN ISLINGTON.—Last evening a public meeting of the ratepayers and inhabi tants of St. Mary, Islington, convened by the Parochial Association, took place in the large assembly-room of the Lansdowne Arms Tavern, Islington -green, for the purpose of adopting an address to Kossuth on his arrival in this country. James Wyld, Esq., M.P., was at eight o'clock called to the chair, and the meeting was very fully attended. Addresses to Kossuth and the Sultan were agreed to amidst loud applause. MEETING AT THE HORNS TAVERN, KENNINGTON.— Yesterday evening a large meeting took place at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, to adopt an address to Louis Kossuth, and also to the Sultan; W. Williams, Esq., M.P., in the chair. Addresses to Kossuth and the Sul tan were proposed and seconded in lengthened speeches, and were carried. ADDRESS OF THE WOMEN OF ENGLIND.—The Or ganisation of the demonstration to Kossuth, which is to take place on the 13th instant, is nearly completed. The committee met last evening; Mr. Geesin, of St. James's, in the chair. I. A. Nicholay reported having waited upon Kossuth, who was agreeable to receiving the ad dresses from the metropolitan boroughs, on Thursday, at one o'clock, in the Hanover• square Rooms, when, the meeting will take place at noon. Madame Kossuth and Madame Pulszky have accepted invitations to bo pre sent on the occasion. Mr. Nicholay was deputed to re quest Lord Dudley Stuart to preside on the occasion. After some minor details had been arranged, an address from the women of England, which is to be presented to Kossuth by twelve ladies, was read. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

In celebration of the event, and oak tree was planted on the lawn in front of the Shef field. Infirmary, by the ve nera bl e poet , w h ose name has been intimately associated with it since it was projected in 1792. The ladies of Sheffield also presented Mr. Montgomery, on his birth. day, with a "friendship offering," consisting of a handsome easy chair, beautifnlly carved in walnut wood, with laurel leaves, and covered with Utrecht velvet ; a read ing stand, with a lyre for the book-rest, the rose, thistle, and shamrock entwining the pedestal, with a royal rest footstool, together with a donation, to be presented in his honoured and highly-valued name to the Moravian Missionary So ciety. A similar contribution was awarded to the Sheffield School of Design for an annual prize medal, to be designated "The Montgomery Medal," and for free pupils in the same institution. THE LORD MAYOR'S DAY.—The programme of the procession is much the same as usaal, with the exception of additional knights and esquires. The procession will em bark at London-bridge for Westminster, and on its return, disembark at Blackfriars, whence it will proceed by land to Guildhall. ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.--WOOLWICH, Nov. 6.—A young man, a painter by trade, enlisted on Saturday last into this corps at head-quarters here, and when attested yesterday stated that his name was William Ships. On the evening of the same day on which he was attested he went to the concert rooms at the California-gardens, not far dis tant from the Sappers' barracks, and appeared in good spirits, but in a short time after WAS found in the gardens with his head nearly severed from his body, evidently done by himself. On the discovery of what had taken place being made, he was immediately taken to the Ordnance Hospital, and although it was only a short distance he died before his arrival there, and the body was; taken to the deadhouse, where it will remain until a coroner's inquest is held upon it.

The bottom has be scraped on the port side to remove Mr. Hay's former coating (which, by-the-bye, required upwards of a score of hands three days to effect), and has received on that side four coats of Mr. Peacock's ap plication; the starboard, as we stated, will be left with Mr. Hay's original coating, vvhieh ha already stood six months, requiring the spots where rubbed and removed for the examination of her iron to be coated. limpid. recently commissioned, will be taken into dock when the Fairy comes our. Blenheim, screw-guard-chip, on trial was found to have such a foul bottom that she could not exceed five knots. At noon-day Messrs. Silver and Co. attracted a large concourse of p,rsons to the king's-stairs in the dock yard, including the Ceramr.nder-in-chief Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, Admiral Prescott, C. 8., Captain Chad:, most of the officers of the dockyard and naval college, to witness some exploits with their different appliances for saving life from shipwreck, such as floating cushioni, mattresses, &c. Rapid has her masts ia, and will get her tops on to morrow. Birkenhead will go out at ten to-morrow morning to the measured mile to try her engines, under Mr. Mur ray, chief engineer's superintendence. A court-martial, comprising Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8., president; Captains 11. D. Chads, C. 8., of the Ex cellent; R. A. 'fetes, of the Britannia; G. B. M art i n , C. 8., of the Victory; C. Graham, C 8., of th © Rod ne y ; W. U. Henderson, C. 8., of the Blenheim; and Mr. George L. Greetham, Deputy-Judge-Advocate of the Fleet, assembled to day on board the flag-ship Victory, to try Mr.A.rchibald Armstrong, M.D., on the following charge:— . " For that he, the said Dr. Archibald Armstrong, when assistant-surgeon of her Majesty's steam-sloop 'Tecate, on active service and in full pay in her Majesty's fleet, was on board the s a id sloop on the evening of the th of October last in a state of intoxication, and unfit to perform his duties." The Court having heard the evidence in support of the charge, and the prisoner having alleged he had no thing to offer in derence, declared the charge fully proved, and adjudged the prisoner to be dismissed from her Majesty's service. The Edinburgh, 53, steam-guard-ship, has been un docked to-day, and pl ace d i n the steam - basin to receive her boilers, &c. The Simoom iron steam• frigate has received her main and mizen masts to-day, and on Monday she will be taken into dock, by which time the Medea will be ready to come out. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, Nov, 7 . — Surgeon -Superintendent Ben jamin Bynoo (1836), to the Aboukir convict-ship. Surgeon George Whitmarsh (1846), to the Rapid, 8, brig, at Portsmouth. Clerk Stephen H. Moore (1850), to the Victory flag ship, at Portsmouth. DEVONPORT, Nov. 6.—Confiance steam-tug sailed on ,Monday with a detachment of the 19th Regiment for Pendennia Castle, Falmouth, returning with the relief, a detachment of the 77th, on Wednesday evening. Manceaver lighter, Ross, master, sailed on Wednesday with stores for Woolwich. THE FORTHCOMING BREVET.—As the day approaches for the announcement of the long-expected brevet, the knowledge of the extent to which it will affect her Ma jesty's land services has become better known, and it is now understood that it will not ba on so extensive a scale as was at first anticipated, or as the exigencies of some branches of the service would require. It is now considered certain that the brevet will only be extended down to 1841, but will not include that year. The pro motions in the Royal Regiment of Artillery will, conse quently, only raise Colonel Frederick Campbell, Super intendent of the Royal Military Repository at Woolwich, and Colonel Turner, C. 8., commanding the Royal Artil lery in the Dublin district, to the rank of Major-Gene rals. The Lieutenant-Colonels to be promoted in the same corps will be Lieutenant-Colonel A. Maclachlan (already holding the rank of brevet Colonel), Lieu tenant-Colonel E. Sabine, and Lieutenant-Colonel Chal mer, Assistant-Director General of Artillery. Captains Pickering, Collington, and Hyde will be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonels, and the Captains highest on the list and down to the end of 1840, will have the rank of brevet Major, there being no regimental Major in the Royal Artillery. Second Captains Tho mas Graydon and Oldfield will be promoted to the rank of Captains; First Lieutenants Ch ance ll or , W a ll er, an d Freeth, to e Second Captains; and Second Lieutenants Griffin, Piele, and Kelly, to be First Lieutenants.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at th© George and Vulture Hotel, George yard, Lombard-street; Mr. Parnell in the chair. The report stated that there had been an increase in respect of tolls during the six mouths ending October, 1851, as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, amounting to 2,1931. 12s. sd. This was in some measure to bo attributed to the increase of cabs and parties going to the Great Exhibition. The receipts from the pier also had increased, and left a profit, after paying all expenses, of 2571, Ten years having elapsed since the bridge had been painted, the directors had lately, caused it to be done, and the cost amounted to 2641. The receipts for the half-year amounted to 9,591 L 4s. 2d., and the expenses to 4,2611. Ga. 7d. Upon the motion 'm that the report be r ece i ve d an d adopted, a pro prietor inquired what was the amount of the surplus after payment of the dividend? The chairman replied that the surplus would be 175/. He (Mr. Parnell) had very little to say respecting the report, but he was glad to have it in his power to congratulate the shareholders upon the prosperous condition of their property. Al though they might, in a great measure, attribute the in crease of tolls to the transit of passengers to and from the Exhibition in Hyde-park, he was still very much inclined to think that there had been a permanent im provement in their finances, owing to the rapid exten sion of buildings on the Surrey side of the water, and to the attractions which presented themselves in the neigh bourhood of Buckingham Palace. In answer to a ques. tion relative to the security of the bridge, the chairman replied that it was in the same substantial condition that it ever was, and this he attributed to the skill of their engineer, Mr. Walker, who, being aware of the defects in many of the other bridges, had taken care that the cassoons should be carried down to the blue clay, so that the abutments might rest upon the securest founda tion. The report was then adopted, and a dividend declared of ISs. per share, payable on and after the Ist of December next. A new treasurer having been ap pointed in lieu of Mr. W. Willi ams, d eceased, thanks w ere voted to the chairman, and the business terminated. --------= llomiciDE ur A. PERSIONER.—On Monday after noon last, at Manchester, John Morgan, an old soldier, went to draw his pension. Determined to enjoy himself in his own way while he had the means, he afterwards indulged in rather more spirituous lipior than was good for him. His sister, who was with him, was endeavouring to dissuade him from entering a public-house in Deansgate, Manchester, and expostulated with him in no very gentle terms, when Frede rick Chinn, a walnut-seller, who was standing near, was so imprudent as to tell the woman to " take her soldier home and get his money from him." Morgan's martial propensi ties were at once aroused, and, disengaging himself from his sister, he capsized Chinn's basket, scattering the nuts in h road. In the battle which ensued between them Chm e n men. re ceived two severe kicks on the lower part of t a h n e d a h bd e stag- The second kick caused him to roar with pain, gered against the wall of a hairdresser's sh o. time he was kicked. from a rupture, and had a truss on atthe Infirmary, and died He was taken to the Manchester Ro y al he effects of the blows there on Wednesday morning r get:n thththeearne videnp e was suffering who came to the spot immedia tely office, he said to the constable, and kicks.

P e y a man by the line for what he sees, and he will behold strange sights, end beheld them through his own bodily eyes, or through speetecles of any either to magnify or mystify. What he says shall be power, wonderful; but what he leaves unsaid shall be monstrous. Like men afflicted with nyctalopia (night blindness), he shall discern a speck at midnight ; but the sun at noon he shall he blind to. In this way, the Times correspondents looked upon the great spectacle of Hungarian heroism. No success of Austria was too beggarly to be proclaimed aloud ; no victory of the Hungarians palpable enough to be re cognised. As hirelings see present, so do they raad past, events ; except that in this they may have a prin ciple. If history be the Great Liar that some have called it, they may blunder upon a truth by the simple prozess of contradiction ; so that, as two negatives make an affirmative, a pair of fictions may make a fact. If the Times chooses to calum niate a great living patriot, it is a mere matter of baseness ; hut to distort history is to add insult to in jure. It supposes its readers to be fools, as well as a hero to be an impostor. That the true Magyar his tory should be known in its whole length and breadth, in its shame as well as its glory, its aggressions as well as its sufferings, is good for the sake of t ru th, of justi ce , o f rational liberty, of the right direction of moral sympathy. But, unfortunately, it is a his tory so little studied in detail that unscrupulous advocates can presume upon its obscurity to distort its character, and to disguise its undeniable relation ship to those great free constitutions which we of England love and trust because they are our own, and which in " -- Our great prerogative To teach the nations of the world to live," we would fain see extended to all that deserved them, and deserved by all. " It is " a favourite fi gure of speech, " writes the Times, with the Magyar party to talk of their constitution of eight hundred yearn' standing, and of their country as the bulwark of Christendom. They would have us forget that for about two hundred and fifty years, from the middle of the fifteenth to the end of the seventeenth century, Hungary did not be long to Christendom at all. Her finest provinces had been conquered by the Turks—Buda was a Pashalik. In the Turkish wars of that period, and even as ltae as 1 683,.Hungarian soldiers were serving with Turks against the empire —her patriots, Zapolya and Rakoczy, were vassals of the Grand Seignior; and from this state of Mussulman bondage she was rescued by :Austrian and German armies under Prince Eugene, about one hundred and fifer years ago. It was an obvious absurdity to talk of a Consti tutional Monarchy of eight huudred years' standing, when the country was practicllly governed, for the greater hstodreiPc°tfiennic.y" lvels p i a ll rt m o e f a t s h u r r e e e c th en e t t u r r u ie th s, o b f y t T hi v a rk h is i from the history of the three b y a centuries pair inof sketches question. To b b r the bul eagvein nation, n t , h e which, h b i a c t h t e under e b r r tohkee Hunyades and the power of the w Co a r r v k in o u f s,Chhardisbteenendo, Christendom--the fatal eT ta irr l (A.D. 1526), w h a t d o we fi n d t o be its immediate effects ? Th a t H ungary b ecame a pss h a lik, a n d th a t Times battle denies, of Mohacz it was governed by a Turk from Olen ? This is about as true as that Spain is governed by the Lord Mayor of Gibraltar. The Sultan places the crownon the head of a native Hungarian, Zapolya. He talks, it is true, about tribute, and insists on it, an d h as hi s own consent to call his Magyar naming the Ban of Transylvania ; but the nomine himself choose* his own title. It is that of king, a king whose em bassy to his suzerain (for that we must allow Soli man to be) is to be annual, with presents pro forma, to accompany it. This is the measure of the Turk supremacy; and it applies to a part of Hungary only. But Austria has a claim. It has, though not the claim of a deliverer. No knight of chivalry rescuing a distressed damsel is King Ferdinand. He is simply the heir of King Louis, who died at the time in ques tion, and, by a series of antecedents in the way of marriages and acts of settlement, inherits the crowns of Bohemia and Hungary just as a man might inherit an estate. This, then, is the Crown that is annihilated. Alai ! it is only too much of a reality. Like the Throne of England during the wars of the roses, it is such a sad reality that claimant upon claimant struggles for it : and they so struggle because the elective principle is a sad reality also. Never did a non-entity more wear the garb of a melancholy fact than when the supporters of a third candidate (Pereny) met and canvassed, and held a Congress at Vesprim, and set up a new and native sovereign, and all without asking leave of the Turk ; though that Turk was Soliman, and all without asking leave of Austria, though that Austria was supported by Charles V. " What seems his head, The likeness of a kingly crown has on." Aye ! and so naturally does he wear it that Zapolys and Ferdinand u,bate their mutual enmity, and join in pulling him down. And now comes the close of Zapolya's life. Never did vassal act more like a free potentate. He enters into a treaty with Ferdinand. His daughter, after his death—for he contemplates marriage —is to wed either Ferdinand or his son ; his son (if a male be born) is to retire into private life, and the two shares of the Hungarian crown are to be united in Ferdi , nand. Surely this is doing with one's own ; or, if the Sultan was sovereign, he was a king with a vice roy over him. But is there nothing about the Turk ? There is. In case of his taking offence, Ferdinand must help Zapolya with an army. Such is the condition of the Magyar. But Ferdinand looks to Turkey as well. There is a secret treaty going on in the meanwhile. For an annual tribute of dogs, hawks, and clocks, paid by the Austrian, Soliman is t o l eave F er di nan d in quiet possession. Which is the vassal ? We know which is the perjurer and the traitor. What follows after Zapolya's death is a sample of the Turk influence throughout. The untouched municipalities, the independent aristocracy, enact the fatal game of elective monarchy, and the Turk is called in. There is no denying that, like the man who helped the horse against his enemy the stag, his support was a curse and a disaster; but there is, also, no denying that, with the exception of certain for tresses and Ofen, the dominion of Hungary, though divided, was always held by native Hungarians, and the rest of the Constitution was equally unim paired. The Banat was a Beylik ; but the Banat was, in respect to the proportions of the Magyar population, the least Hungarian part of Hungary-- except, perhaps, Transylvania. Yet so Hungarian, in constitution, was Transylvania, that the very nego tiations for the union of the two crowns, which the faithlessness of Ferdinand nullified, were repeated by Isabella, and all without leave of the Turk; but not without leave of the Transylvanians. But Hungary was lost to Christendom. Aye ! even, as in the eyes of Rome, England was lost at the Reformation. Look to, the t h mid-winter conditionseiinte r of the coronation o f M a thias in 08 the discontent of Hungary, the vanishing point of her liberties—that the old laws should remain in force; that a bill of rights, consisting of twenty-three ar ticles, should be sworn to; that in this Bill, special clauses should limit the kingly power, curb the influ ence of the Jesuits, and insure liberty of conscience to the numerous and rapidly increasing Protestants.

We easily believe that half so many were never observed. Sketch after sketch of this kind could be given, but we have limited ourselves to two—one from the time immediately following the Battle of Mohacz, when the constitution is said to have begun to be extin guished, and the other from the time when it ought to be most eminently and undeniably dead; and re think that we have given as fair reasons as short limits will allow for a charge against the Times of its pre mature interm en t an d it s f orc ibl e resusc itation. ° Weekly News. _ like far the Church th E e ng M ln a n g d y , a a r lzeny, con. in stitutionhaa been danger; soong.— and that is why it livedl EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS—EXAMINATION.
