THE GREAT SOLAR ECLIPSE It is impossible to over-rate the interest which men of al classes appear to take in the forthcoming phenomenon ; millions eyes will be directed to the one great object ; every telescope in the parts of the world where the eclipse will be visible must be in re quest; pails of water, smoked glasses and coloured ones, everything that can assist the sight by rc Election or refraction,_ will be occupied by the different classes, from the philosopher to the schoolboy. There has not been such a sensation created since the building of the Great Clothes Mart of E. MOSES and SON. Then, as now, for days be fore the opening, it was In everybody's mouth, and public curiesity was on tiptoe ; nor will the surprise and gratification felt at the eclipse of the sun be greater than the astonishment of the public the first time the doors of the Mart were thrown open. Its fame spread far and wide, until it was talked of cast, west, north, and south, in all quarters of the globe. At this time there is such a display of fashion at the Monarch Mart, that everything of the kind is ECLIPSED. E. MOSES and SON have ECLIPSED everybody who has attempted a show of dress. Every article of theirs is per fect ; all, in fact, that can be wished by the most fastidious man of fashion is there in perfection, while hundreds of the best tailors in Europe are ready to make anything to measure in an incredibly short time. But Messrs. E. MOSES and SON cannot too earnestly assure their friends that the articles in stock are in all respects the same in quality of material, neatness and durability, taste and design, the same as if made to measure, and that the only reason for charging more is the making singly instead of making a hundred or more at a time ; so that if a gentleman happens to fit himself from the stock, he has equally a first-rate article. - - E.

By the royal mail steam. ship Africa, Captain Ryrie, which arrived shortly before ten o'clock, we have ad vices from New York direct to the 16th instant. She brings 1,001,543 dolls. in specie on freight. The royal mill steam-ship Asia arrived at New York on the 16th. Although there is no paucity of news come to hand, there is scarcely an item of inwrtance to European readers. The intelligence is chiefly of a local character. President Fillimore and the Hon. Daniel Webster visited Annapolis on the 15th, where they met a very enthusiastic reception. As yet General Scott stands foremost in the candidateship for the presidency. The several States of the Union were busily occupied in electioneering preliminaries. The New York Legislature terminated its extra sitting of thirty-one days on the 11th. The session had been a most active one, several very important Bills having been passed. Rumours of Mr. Webster's resignation as Secretary of State had been current, but were groundless. General George Talcott, Colonel of the Ordnance department, has been dismissed from the American service, by sentence of conrt-martial. Two partis, named Mears and Gardiner, having been prosecuted fer giving in false claims for com pensation upon the Mexican Government, the grand jury have had the case under consideration. It is considered that the prosecution cannot be sustained. A duel had been fought betwen Dr. T. Hunt and Mr. J. W. Frost, of th e N ew Orleans Cies cent. The latter was killed. The weapons used were guns. Dr. Hunt and his seconds will be indicted for the murder. Mr. Fennimore Cooper, the novelist, whose serious illness lately caused much uneasiness, is now pro nounced out of danger. Cholera was still prevalent at St. Louis. Amongst the appointments recently made by the President is, that of Cornelius M'Caullay, Esq., of Philadelphia, to be consul at Belfast. The Mississippi and Missouri rivers continue to overflow their banks. At St. Louis the level has been entirely covered, the warehouses filled with water to the depth of several feet, the river there being now several miles wide. Jenny Lind held a concert at Utica on the 15th. It was very largely attended. The best feeling prevailed, and, although there was a great crowd outside, no disturbance occurred. The particulars of a disgraceful outrage at Palmyra, near Rochester, are given in the New York journals. A gentleman and lady of respectability had been married, and proceeded to, their place of residence, which they occupied alone. On the night following their wedding day six young men proceeded to the house, and, after securing the husband, they each perpetrated the most diabolical outrage upon the wife. They made their escape, but same of them have since been arrested. ALLEGED DISCOVERY ofFOURBODIES, SUPPOSED to be PART of SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S GREIF. A paragraph has appeared in a Scotch paper, which we lay before our readers, because we know that the public feel a natural anxiety for the fate of Sir John Franklin and of his expediden. The Admiralty, how ev, r, has received no information on the :lull, et, and we give the account merely as we find it copied from the L'iwe (: chaster, 1 ) e l Warder of °f te r 1 ( 9 1 whoh.instant, b e the n Hull J. liobb out a whaler Flora, of half, cast anchor at Stroerntss, and sent her lettersear and an d a papers by pose A letter was received in Aberdeen on Monday, by Mr. John Douglas, King-street, from his brother, Mr. G. Douglas, mate of the aforesaid ship. It contains the following affecting narrative:—' In February last our ship's crew partially abandoned the vessel, and erected a large snow house on shore, it being in many respects more comfortable than on board, and better suited for hunting operations. We had been at that time five months free el up in Lancaster Sound. In one of our excursions we fell in with a party of Esquimaux Indians, nine in number. They had a slight knowledge of our language. They inquired whether we wore English or Americans. On being satisfied on that point, they in quired if we belonged to Chief Franklin. The idea now flashed upon our minds that they knew something of Sir John and his crew, and we answered in the affirmative. They then pointed to the right, to a towering heap of snowy mountains, and by their gestures they signified they had gone to sleep. We brought them to our snow house, when I instantly reported the case to Lir. Robb, our captain, and it was agreed that a party .of twelve men would accompany the Indians, and probe their story to the foundation. The party consisted of Mr. Page, our surgeon; J. Brown, carpenter; Wilson, Blair, Hall, Murray, Agnew, Crosley, Jones, Jenkinson, Raffarty, (seamen) and myself. We had a plentiful supply of provisions, which were packed into a flat-bottomed boat, which was covered with seal skin, and several rifles, spears, &c. We started on our journey on March the 27th; our route was one of the wildest that can be conjec tured. We proceeded in a zig-zag course up one hill, down another, then to the right, then to the left, and then to the right again. On the fourth day symptoms of discontent began to be manifested by our hardy tars. Out feet were cut and wounded by the sharp projecting fragments of ice; the thaw was setting in, and we were apprehensive of being buried by the avalanches of snow, which descend like lightning down the sides of the mountains. On the tenth day, April the sth, our guides led us into a large natural amphi theatre among the mountains. After a journey of some miles we descried something waving over the snow. It was a black silk handkerchief tied to the top of a walk ing-stick. We eagerly drew out the staff, and com menced operations by digging about two feet deep. We came to the body of a man, and in a few minutes after we discovered three other bodies. They were frozen like icicles; decomposition had not commenced. Their beards were long and shaggy, while their rigid features, and wasted limbs, spoke in the language of nature—they had died from want. " Their dress was that of British seamen in cold la titudes. One man had his name written, or rather en graved on his arm, H. Carr. The rest were all more or less marked; some had crosses on their breasts, other stars, ships, letters, &c. Our hearts sickened at the sight. We replaced them in their cold desolate graves, l and ex s c e i t up aime t d h m , e same sad s h ad ave rnen a l t e t e e t ew attempted pte r- d i, to ' P r o e o g r f regain your homes by an overland journey, but you are left in the desert!' " The Indians could give us no more intelligence, so we returned. The most probable conjecture is, a large f p o a u r r t y h h ad a d thus set perished,out fr om iSirn all J o p h r n o ba r b a i n l t l y i n F' t s h e whole expedition; f them are now dead.' The letter is signed " Thomas Reid," and is dated " Dundee, July 22d, 1851." On inquiring at Lloyd's we cannot find such a vessel as the Flora having been reported there. The attractions of the ss. day begin to fade, and complaints arise among the management that they are losing money by it. For all practical purposes it is foutni that a half-crown entrance fee keeps the interior of the building sufficiently select, and we should, there • fore, not be surprhed to hear that the Commission had to laced the price on Saturdays to the level of Friday , . With the fact patent that oven the Is. admission shuts o u t a large pertiou of, our metropolitan population, it seems natural that the tendency should be towards u diminution of charge, anti the offer of increased facili ties to the publ'o for viewing this great spectacle, which the present generation may never see repeated. It is true that the pros, nt lnw cede of entrance fees Se cures an unprecedented gathering of the curious towards Ilyde•park, and then during the early days of each week the building is well flirt], if not crowded; yet the Exhibition will hardly have fulfilled its objects if the labouring classes do not appear there in larger propor tions than is at present the case, and if the ingenious mechanics and operatives of London especially are iu the main excluded from a display which their industry and that of their fellows in the country has created. How the desired result should be gained we do not venture to suggest, but to every one who has paid attention to the subject, and whose daily attendance at the Crystal Palace enables him to form au opinion, it now becomes a matter of serious consideration what should be done, its order that the masses may have greater facilities for visiting the Exhibition. The difficulty lies iu the extraordi nary and still increasing popularity which the Crystal Palace has gained among the middle and upper classes,. a popularity which will be the better estimated when we state that, from the opening till Saturday; no less than 2,929,778 visits - have been paid to it; that 66,6381. ss. has now been received from the sale of season tickets, and that the amount taken in payments at the doors has been' 181,0111. 6s. With subscriptions, therefore, the total incomings of the Royal Commission now considerably exceed 300,000/. What will they be before the middle of October arrives with two months and a half of the most pleasure-seeking portion of the year still to pass over before the vast display terminates? For the moment the chief subject of interest at the Crystal Palace is furnished by the approaching festivi ties at Paris, for which great preparations are made, and to which an immense number of invitations have been issued. At the dinner to be given at the Hotel de Ville on Saturday, all the guests asked cannot possibly be ac • commodated, and it is to be hoped that those who are not immediately connected with the Exhibition will see the necessity which exists for omitting their names from that portion of the grand series of entertainments and receptions provided on the occasion.—Times. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, JuLv 2.7 THE AMERICAN CLIPPER YACHT: This far-famed wonderful vessel, built by our brethren in the new world, to beat all the vessels of the old, is expected hero on Wednesday next. A suite of apart ments has been taken for her owners at the Vine Hotel. Such marvellous tales have been told of her that her ar rival is looked for with no small degree of anxiety by our yachtsmen. According to all accounts, she is a very handsome v esse l, an d i s b eaut if u ll y fi tte d up. As t 3 her sailing qualities, according to the American ac counts, with a stiff breeze abeam, a flash of lightning would have its work cut out to catch her; still we think that we have got yachts that will beat her without any mistake. The members of the Royal Yacht Squadron have given a cup, value 1004 to be sailed for by yachts belonging. to the yacht clubs of all nations, on the 22d of August. All that intend to contend for this prize must enter be fore midnight on the 16th of August. The Royal Yacht Club dinner is to take place at the Squadron House on the 19th of August. Her Majesty's Cup is to be sailed for by cutters of the Royal Yacht Squadron, 105 tons and upwards, on the 18th; if three do not enter, then by cutters of from 50 to 100 tons. Prince Albert's Cup is to bo sailed for on the 20th by schooners of 140 tons and upwards; if enough do not enter, then by schooners under 140 t ons . The annual Royal Yacht Squadron ball is to take place on the 21st; the fireworks on the evening of the 22d. EXCURSIONISTS FROM LONDON TO THE ISLE OF WlGHT.—Nearly 300 persons arrived by the Queen steamer this day, having left London this morning by the South-Western excursion train; they remain here till half-past five, and return after having taken the be nefit of a bath and a breeze. SAILING MATCH FOR 751. A private match for twenty-five guineas aside having been made between Captain Gordon, of the cutter Whim, 62 tons; W. H. Broadwood, Esq., of the hired yacht Alarm, 40 tons, Grenham muter; and W. H. Woodhouse, Esq., of the Royal Yacht Squadron's yacht Surprise, 16 tons, to sail round the Isle of Wight, with out regard to buoys or other marks, the , match came off on Friday, and resulted in the Alarm being declared the winner. I❑ consequence of the difference of ton nage between the respective yachts, the Whim was to allow the Surprise a minute per ton, and to the Alarm half a minute, but nothing between the Surprise and Alarm, their rate of sailing being judged to be about equal, notwithstanding the disparity in tonnage. At ten ♦.a[. the yachts started together, from off Hyde pier, and proceeded out at the east end with the wind from the eastward, and passed Bembridge ledge in the following order Letters from Utah to the Ist of June state that the first ground was broken for the Great Salt Lake and Mountain Railway on the Ist May. It is stated that so soon as the railway is completed, the erection of the great Mormon temple will he commenced. The commercial affairs of the district were very satis factory. CONSECRATION OF THE ROMAN CA THOLIC "BISHOPS." Yesterday morning the new Roman Catholic church in St. George's-fields was the scene of a ceremony which has not been performed iu this metropolis for more than 300 years —viz., the consecration of two Roman Catholic prelates with English territorial titles. The excitement occasioned by this event was proportionate to its novelty, and although no formal announcement had been made the news transpired through various channels and spread so widely as to cause the church to be crammed to excess with both a Roman Catholic and Protestant auditory, eager to witness an event which the apprcachic; com pletion of an Act of Parliament will preclude thear from ever witnessing in public again. Immediately after the conclusion of "ten o'clock mass" the church began to fill, and by the time that the service commenced—a few minutes after eleven o'clock—there was scarcely standing or breathing room. Soon after the arrival of Cardinal Wiseman, the con secrating bishop, a procession emerged from the "sa cristy" and passing between a double row of acolytes in white surplices and with lighted tapers, stood tetore the high altar, which was decorated with waxlights and flowers. The two " bishops elect" were robed in the simple sacerdotal vestments. Dr. Burgess, styled " bishop elect" of Shrewsbury, and Dr. Brown, so called " bishop elect" of Clifton, being each supported by two Roman Catholic bishops. These Right Rev. Gentlemen were in their robes, each wearing a mitre. Cardinal Wiseman also was attired in his robes. Several of the leading members of the Roman Catholic priesthood were also present, besides ten of th e new ly- create d bi s h o p s . The procession stopped before the altar, and Cardinal Wiseman and the bishops having seated themselves, the Gloria in Excelsis and Kyrie Eleeison were sung, the Gloria being performed at the full pitch of the very powerful organ, and with a very solemn effect. After these and the chant Ecce Sacerdos the Cardinal, with the bishops, proceeded to the consecrating altar, it being a general rule in the Roman Catholic churches to have a special altar for the consecration of newly-elected prelates. Here a short prayer was said aloud by the Cardinal, the choir responding, at the conclusion of which Drs. Brown and Burgess were severally presented to him as chosen for the dignity of the prelacy. It was impossible to hear whether the usual question referring to the appointment by the Holy See " Habete mandatulli A . postolic um " was put; we believe, however, that it was not—as the retrospective operation of Sir F. Thesiger's amendment would have rendered the production, or admitted possession, of such a document . dangerous. N o diffi cu l ty, h owever, would present itself in the way of the omission of this form, and the consent of the Pope might eas il y b e i mpl i ed or understood with out treading upon dangerous ground. The two bishops then pronounced the oath kneeling before the Cardinal, who afterwards put the usual questions as to the faith of the candidates in " the holy Catholic and Apostolic Church—the only true one, giving the only baptism and alone remitting sins." These having been answered, the Conjiteor and Credo followed, and the ceremony of the investiture was performed. Th e bi s h ops e l ect were dis encumbered of their simple robes and were invested with their episcopal garments—the golden pectoral cross, sandals, stole, chansible, and maniple. The Litany of the Saints was then sung, the bishops elect kneeling and bending their heads forward, and the Cardinal, at the conclusion, reciting a short prayer for their sanctifica tion and consecration, making at the same time the sign of the cross over their heads. The Cardinal then laid upon the shoulder of each of the kneeling candidates the book of the gospels, and, as it is termed, they received from him the tradition of the Holy Scriptures. The prayers of the mass were here proceeded with, and then followed the anointing. This ceremony consists of making the sign ofp the cross upon the fore heads of the kneeling canoidates with consecrated oil, or " chrison." The oil so used being blessed with much ceremony every Matioday Thursday and reserved. for occasions such as this, and for the Roman Catholic sa crament of confirmation. The Cardinal anointed their foreheads and hands; the oil being afterwards carefully wiped away. During this observance the organ and choir gave forth the Veni, Creator ; the Cardinal himself singing the first and second verses. The croziers an d episcopal rings worn by Roman Catholic prelates were then presented, having been previouslysanctified and sprinkled with holy water. The new bishops then re ceived the gospel and the kiss of peace—thus rendering the ceremony complete. The mass was now regularly proceeded with, the new bishops together partaking of the holy communion, after the elevation of the host and chalice. After the Pater Nosier and previous to the " lie missa est," or signal for the congregation to depart, the bishops were presented with their mitres and gloves, and, re ceiving the Cardinal's benediction, and acknowledging his authority by three genuflections, they then walked twice round the church, accompanied by four bishops and four clergymen, the organ playing a Te Dea ns . To enter further into a description of the ceremony would he of little us e to o ur readers, and it will suffice to say that every effect which careful arrangement to the whole details could give was produced, and the m us i c of the organ and the c h o i r t on ed well with the gorgeous spectacle which was presented. The extreme length o f the various observances prevented the delivery of a ser mon, which was originally contemplated, the service not being at an end until half-pant two o'clock. The approaching enactment o f the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill has rendered it necessary to complete the consecra tion of the Roman Catholic bishops without delay, for although the Ministerial portion of that measure is not retrospectively, or even prospectively, of very severe operation, yet it might possioly prove sufficiently strin gent to be a serious obstacle to the consecration of these bishops after it had received the Royal assent. Some of the moat distinguished foreigners in London were pre sent at the ceremony of yesterday, and at its conclu s io n congratulated the two bishops on the ratification of their titles. The prelates who officiated dined in the evening with Cardinal Wiseman. The difficulty with the Mexican Government relative to the Tehuantepec Railway was creating much interest. The Washington Republic of the lath says : DISEASE. : , ustrated by One Hundred Anatomical Coloured Engravings on " We understand that many long conferences were held last week at the Department of State between Sir Henry Bulwer, the British Minister, Mr. Marcoleta, Minister from Nicaragua, and Mr. Molina, Charge d'Affaires from Costa Rica, on the several Nicaraguan subjects. "As far as we can learn, after the full communication of opinions and propositions, it was thought best to wait for a few weeks for authorities which the Minister of Nicaragua expects to receive. " In regard to Tehuantepec, we learn that formidable difficulties exist, which may materially delay the ratifi cation, on the part of Mexico, of the late treaty between that country and the United States upon this important work. It has been publicly stated, and we believe truly, that the Mexican authorities have revoked or annulled the grant to Garay. This we suppose, however, is not absolutely decisive of the question of the ratification of the treaty. Mr. Letcher, the American Minister at Mexico, will return to his post as soon as he can do so without imminent hazard to his health; although there is reason to suppose that no further proceedings re specting the subject will be had earlier than January next." The IVezv York Tribune, referring to the diplomatic proceedings in regard to the affairs of Central Ame rica,says— It seems that the English Government is ready to relinquish her peculiar relations with the Mosquito kingdom, and surrender her control over San Juan. But she ref uses to make that surrender into the hands of Nicaragua, which claims an unconditional right of terri tory to San Juan, and refuses to submit to any restric tions. There are other territorial difficulties between Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and the other States, which also seem difficult of adjustment. On these subjects Sir Henry Bulrver has addressed to the American Govern ment a communication urging the necessity of its inter ference to produce an amicable settlement of the ques tion. The subject is now under consideration by the Secretary of State." The advices from Canada are dated Toronto, July 10. A great effort was to be made to construct a railroad from Halifax to Hamilton, where it was to join the Great Western, thus making a continuous line of rail from Halifax to Detroit, or whatever point may be selected as the western terminus of the Great Western. The Toronto Board of Trade had censured the Council, by a vote of 14 to 2, for memo rializing the Government to impose differential duties against American manufactures. From Havannah our letters to the Bth contain no news of interest. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JULY 15.—Since the sailing of the Her mann, the stock market has been quiet and without material variation. This is the dull season in the stock market, and in view of this fact prices are well main tained, say, U. S. Sixes, '56, 1061 to 1061; ditto, '62, 111 to 111 i; ditto, '67, 116 k to 1164. The money market continues well supplied, presenting the anomaly of abundance in the street, while the banks are rather poor. These institutions are doing their of ferings pretty freely, but do not want more paper. On call loans are made with facility at 5 to 6 per cent, on first class stocks. The best paper goes at 6 to 7 for short and 7 to 8 for long dates, and is not plenty. There is a small business done in sterling, and the quotations are not firm. Some good bills sold at 10k to 10i, although leading names are held at lo . Produce bills sold at 9 to 9i; francs, 5.10 to 5.8 i, a slight decline. Amsterdam, 41J to 41f; Hamburgh, 364 to 37; Bremen, 79 to 79k. The supply of bills is limited, but the de mand is also moderate. st.

The wind had now shifted to the N.W., their course to the Needles rocks, which was rounded between six and seven o'clock, the Alarm about a mile and a half in advance of the Surprise. The latter, however, in running up the Solent ran the Alarm five minutes, but when off Lope the wind flew into the N.E., and the Alarm being to windward con trived to reach the goal at 38 minutes past 11; the Whim 51 minutes past 11; and the Surprise at about half-past 12. The wind was very light throughout, and the race may be considered to have been a partial drift ing match. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, SATURDAY. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Alber walked and drove in the grounds at Osborne yesterday. The Royal Children also took their usual exercise. Mr. Birch had the honour of joining the Royal party at dinner. ."Steel. In freights there has been a further decline, and the transactions are moderate. To Liverpool, engagements of 600 or 700 bales cotton, at id. to 5-32 d.; 2,000 or 3,000 bbls. flour, at 15d. to 15d.; dead-weight, 155.; 500 bbls. resin, at 155.; grain, 4id.

To London, 1,000 bbls. flour, at 25.; 500 bbls. turpentine, at 2s. 6d.; 100 bales palm leaf on pri vate terms; dead-weight, 255. To the continent there is but little doing. To California there is a moderate business at 50 to 70c. per foot. Breadstuffs—(From Mr. Bell's Circular of the 15th.) —There has been quite an unsettled and fluctuating market for flour since my report of the Ist. inst. In fluenced by the favourable accounts from Englaud, per Niagara and Baltic, an advance of fully 12c. per bbl. was obtained, and much firmness shown by the holders, with considerable inquiry for export; but the subsequent reports, per the Canada and Franklin steamers, of fine weather and a decline in breadstuff,' generally, have changed the tone, and the operations since have been on a limited scale (probably to fill former or ders) closing heavy. Our farmers are busily engaged in harvesting the crop of wheat, and at least three-fourths of it is now safely gathered, in good condition and quantity. The stock of old wheat is quite diminished, and it is exceedingly difficult to fill orders with a prime article. Indian corn is in light supply, and principally wanted for home use.

Cotton (from Mr. Wright's Circular)—Since my circu lar of Bth inst., we have received Liverpool advices per Canada to 28th Jane, and per Franklin to Ist July, each showing a further slight depreciation of cotton in that market, with more moderate sales than for the previous two months. The effect of the former accounts was a de clice last week of fully lc. per lb., chiefly on the better grades of Gulf cotton, and yesterday and to-day, after receipts of the accounts per Franklin, a further reduc tion of per lb.

There has been more dis position shown on the part of holders to meet the market than I have noticed for some months, owing rather to the continuance of favourable weather in the south for the growing crop than to position of the trade in regard to stock on band, and the probable demand until the period when new cotton comes to market. The total sales since the 7th inst. to last evening amount to 9,500 bales, the market closing quietly a t t h e oa a nnexed quotations. The exportdurin3g67;naße time tterd has m , been—to Liverpool, 7 65 bales; Spain, 1,087; Antwerp, 581; total, 2,702 bales. The accounts from the south, in relation to the new crop, are upon the average favourable, and the prospect continues fair for a large yield. From a comparison with former years, it is ascertained that the excess in receipts now amounts to , 281,000 bales. The excess in exports to Groat Britain . For some months past numerous workmen have been engaged in converting the centre avenue of the Hunger ford Arcade and galleries above, as also the lower area, which was originally appropriated as the wholesale fish market, into a central entrepit of Arts, Sciences, and Industry of all Nations; a general reading-room for the manufacturers and merchants of every country; a theatre for the exhibition of optical illusions, by Professor Wal deck; and a theatre for a novel and interesting diorama, by Monsr. Bouton. The operations have at length so far approached completion as to enable the proprietors to announce the opening of this establishment on Monday next, the 4th of August; and it is confidently anticipated that from its central position, and the great pains and labour bestowed upon the arrangement and decoration, that the whole will become an object of attraction to the public, and source of profit to the proprietors. Among the chief objects for establishing the bazaars have been the reception of the produce of the Arts, Sciences, and Industry of all Nations, in a similar manner to the Ex hibition in Hyde-park, including particularly those which have been unable to obtain admission therein, and for which purpose 60,000 square feet have been ap propriated. With regard to the alterations and im provements necessary for the above purposes, some few observations may at this period prove not wholly unac ceptable, and in commencing it may be n ecessary to state that it has required the utmost care and ingenuity on the part of the architect to design the new works, so as to comport with the architectural outline of the original building. The plans have been faithfully carried out, and the whole of the works most ably executed by Messrs. T. and W. Piper, the builders, of Bishopsgate. Along each side of the centre avenue of the upper area are ranges of elegant stalls, and the whole of this will be tastefully illuminated with gas, ingeniously constructed to shade the glare from the visitor. In the galleries above is the theatre for Professor Waldeck's optical illu sions, the preparation of which has cost nearly 30 years; this has been elegantly fitted up for the accommodation of 200 spectators. In the centre of the lower area is a similar theatre for Bouton's diorama, also calculated for about 200 spectators. On either side, well lighted from a roof covered with large plates of glass, are extensive ranges of stalls. The granite steps leading thereto have, for preservation as well as decoration, been covered with Ors, and Armani's patent metallic lava ; the same ma terial has been applied to other portions, the ornamental kind particularly to a large slab which is displayed in a variety of elegant floral and other designs in brilliant colours. As the bazaars will be so arranged as to form not only an agreeable promenade, but absolutely the main, because the most direct, thoroughfare to and from the uspension-bridge, the greater portion of the stalls have been long since let. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.---OR Saturday Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Red Lion Inn, Buckland, near Reigate, on the bodies of Richard Allen and Edward Lisney, who were drowned in a pond under the following circum stances :—The deceased men and five oth er s had clean ingbeennredie, out a fish-pond on the premi ses o f Sir Benjamin at Betchworth.

F LONDON. Jlis are deter- Tiainments while ,inuce; for we had Almack's in June. uouan c lerk, then the grand Highland assembly in Guildhall last Wednesday, and now we have to report the proceedings of the above so ciety's annual dinner, which took place on Saturday evening at the London Tavern, the members of which appeared in Highland cost? , decorations of the room being also strictly ) most conspicuous being an immense thistle, Iv understood to have been reared by the worthy , of the institution, and was much admired by its stately appearance. In recording this festive gathering we must remark that it was particularly distinguished from the selfish public dinners usually given by the various institutions of this country, by the presence of ladies, the wives and daugh ters of members taking their places at the dining-table in company with their relatives. It was a distinctive feature in the entertainment, carrying with it the grace ful end softening influ( nee that female society imparts to a company, and which at the same time gave it more the appearance of a p:-iva:e family party ti a that of a London Tavern dinner. We believe thiA introduc ion of the fairest portion of minkind to the anniversary of the Caledonian Society's dinner is the measure of Mr. Gray, the :.ecmary, who, it was said, has long sought its ac e mplishmet. W e are ;Aire that its acknowledgment will he hailed by the members, and those ho noured iti joining them, with thankfulness to him, for the additional charm their presence gives to the feast. Another merit belongs to the entertain ment on Saturday—the musical treat given, vocal and instrumental; the orchestra was occupied by a band se lected and led by Mr. Mackenzie, of the Theatre Royal Edinburgh, who played during dinner the meat choice national airs. Miss Birch, with her sister, Miss Eliza Birch, were present, and charmed the party with songs an d duets. Mrs. Sinclair and her daughter, Miss Sin clair, the favourite vocalists, sang several ballads, and Mr. Mylne, the worthy successor of Wilson, also gave some of hie best songs in excellent style, and lastly, but not least prominent her Majesty's and the Duk e o f Su therland's pipers, with the band of the Caledonian Asylum, pealed forth their stirring strains. About 100 persons sat down to an excellent repast, which contained all the good things of the season. On the cloth being removed, and theiusual loyal toasts having been given, the national anthem was sung by the Mi sses Birch and ' Mr. Mylne. The PRESIDENT (Professor Cull) t h en gave the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Caledonian Society of London." He said that this toast commended itself to them' with peculiar interest. Their society must have something good in it that could attract so brilliant a party to their meeting. The Caledonian Society was established for two objects, viz., to maintain the garb of the Gael, and to encourage everything connected with the nationality of Scotland, and to assist the Scottish charities in London. This festival was con secrated for the former object. To you who owe you r birth to that glorious country (for myself I am cockney), you have reason to be proud of the many illustrious men you: rank: among your countrymen, for theirgreat attainments in literature and science. In the severe studies of mathematics you have had a Napier, a Maclaurin, a Leslie, and a Playfair; in poetry you have a galaxy of names, but splendid above the rest, the name of Burns must be classed among the greatest poets of the world ; another name stands out in high relief, Sir Walter Scott.--(Great cheering.) The Caledonian Society sympathises with all that is good an d , reat, and as so worthy of your approbation, all misting those who, from misfortunes, cannot help taLuiselves; and it is on these grounds that the in stitution claims you to pledge to its continued prosperity. The toast was drunk with Highland honours. The PRESIDENT begged the company again to pledge a bumper in honour of the Highland Society, who was in a West degree the parent of their own and many other similar societies. That body was the first estab lished to preserve the garb of the Gae I, to rescue from oblivion the remains of Celtic literature, and to encou rage the cultivation of the martial music of the North, all of which objects they had most meritoriously accom plished; and in connexion with that toast he would name its chief office-bearers, Charles Forbes, of Aslown, and George Bain, who did them the honour of their company that evening. Mr. Foieis, on behalf of the Highland Society, re turned his warmest thanks for the compliment paid them by the members of the Caledonian Society. He felt much pleasure in accepting their kind invitation to dine with them on their anniversary,pecause they had the same worthy objects particularly.m view that the society which ho himself represented had, namely, the support of that excellent institution, the Caledonian Asylum. That charity had peculiar claims on every Scotchman in London, and he would wish to see it better supported. He hoped he might not be considered out of order in referring to another subject that had lately painfully ab sorbed his attention, and which ho could not pass over; it was the famishing condition of his countrymen in the Hebrides. While they were here enjoying all the comforts of life, these unfortunate p eo pl e were re d uced to duo miserable condition of being obliged to eat the shell fish of the sea tcesupport nature. The failure of their crops, the dearth of employment, and the bad system they have their small patch4s of land on, have brought them to that severe state; still their cry is not heard, their murmur is not riotous, they will rather die than Appel; therefore no wonder we in England hear nothing of their distress. The minstrel sa s of them, and that most truly, that they w,,re._ " Patient of toil, 4erone amidst alarms, Irflexible .in faith, invincible in arms." He bad much pleasure in stating that ho had received a communication that day from the widow of a distinguished general officer who fell in the Punjaub. the sut+ct of which was that she had had a letter from Colonel Phipps, by cmatuand of her Majesty, in reference to the fa mishing state of these virtuous people; in it her Ma jesty states that their deplorable condition has sincerely affected her, and that if a committee of gentlemen con meted with Scotland was formed to receive subscriptions in their aid, that her Majesty would be happy to for ward her 1001. He would assure them that the Royal sug gestion would be obeyed, and he had already commenced its accomplishment, and ho had every confidence in the generosity of his countrymen in behalf of these unfortu nate sufferers, and hoped by that assistance to alleviate the distress. He begged their excuse for transgressing on their time with the introduction of so heartrending a subject, but fellow-feeling would be his apology. The health of the several office-bearers of the society were toasted with great enthusiasm, who severally re turned their obligations, after which the company with drew to partake of coffee, which was served in an ad joining room, and at eleven o'clock the entertainment terminated with a Highland reel. KNARESBOROUGH ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In The Sun of 17th July appears a letter signed "G. W.", dated Bradford, relative to the late Knaresborough election. The writer states he bad been Y g sta in a week at Knaresborough; but if so, he might have obtained much more accurate information than he ' has done upon more than one point discussed in his let ter. He hopes that in the new Reform Bill the future M.P.'s will be elected by the whole parish, by which means there will be far less corruption in the place, as the constituency would be increased from 350 to upwards of 900; that it is now very corrupt indeed, and is called a second Pontefract, and the inhabitants must take care they do not find it a second Sudbury." Now, it is noto rious to all who took any notice of the proceedings during the past election that there were only 217 voters on the list, though it is possible the voters might be in creased to six or seven hundred, if all the parish were included in the municipal boundaries, as part of Harro gate would then contribute a good number. Having been intimately concerned in every election since the passing of the Reform Bill, I give the most unqualified denial to this wholesale and unfounded charge, and assert that th e const i tuency never d eserve d the title of being " very corrupt," or to be placed in the same category as Pontefract or Salisbury. Bribery, I believe, has never been practised, and is unknown to the electors generally, if not altogether. The publi cans have been charged with withholding their votes until they could see what was to be spent at their houses, or who spent most, which I apprehend is the case at Leeds, Wakefield, Halifax, and Bradford, so well as Knaresborough, unless I am ver y mue h misin formed; but beyond this the case is rare indeed where a bribe was looked for, or, if ex p ec t e d, o bt a ined. ... 0 0 `_! such thing as " head money" was ever expeeted and paid at Pontefract. No doubt shop others who have no particular political bilis some future or contingent interest in giving their V w ithdravrn are compelled to do this from seeing cus tom wantprinciplemore suit certain owing to votes not having been given n ease at Bradford parties ; bnt is not this found to be the a state kleooefeke votes -- some some and all other towns ?

(in this subject I cannot do better than quote " G. W.'s" words respecting Mr. Collins's grand father—viz ," Th e l ess th a t i s sa id a b out hi m th e b etter :' Believing that " G. W." has stated what ho has without making sufficient inquiries into the subject, I hope he will have the manliness to withdraw his unfounded . l as persions on the voters generally in this borough, or l fle thinks he can produce any proofs of his assertions, I will be ready to meet him in reply.

Joseph Beale was lately killed and terribly torn b y a vicious stallion, of w hi c h he had the care. It is supposed that the horse took offen ce at the groom entering his stall when intoxicated. OR NOT ? SHALL THE CRYSTAL PALACE STAND The subject of the retention of the Crystal Palace has been much canvassed and commented upon since the publication of my pamphlet, wherein I suggested the propriety of converting it into a winter park and gar den, To this proposal objections of several kinds have been raised, and circulated with considerable industry; SOM9 of the objectors assuming that the structure is composed of such perishable materials, and is so un stable and unfit for a permanent building, that they re commend it to be destroyed immediately after the Exhi bition closes. Part of these arguments I have already refutt din my letter to Lord Campbell of July 14, and therefore it would be superfluous to repeat them o❑ the present occasion. My impression is, that nearly all the objections hitherto made have been advanced by indivi duals living in the neighbourhood of the building, and who, judging of the future by the present state of ex citement produced by the Exhibition, have anticipated annoyances which I believe will never be realized. _ In my pamphlet already alluded to I partly antici pated these mistaken views, and briefly remarked that, although at present the building, to suit the purposes of the Exhibition, looked heavy from having boarded sides, yet when the wood was removed, and glass sub stituted, and the canvass coveriing taken down, it would become a really beautiful object, exhibiting through its Transparent sashes a picturesque park and garden, the advantages and pleasures of which those living in the immediate neighbourhood would possess more than or dinary privileges of enjoying. I likewise hazarded an pinion that property in the vicinity would be enhanced in value in consequence; and the more I examine what I then stated the more I am convinced that my opinions were neither visionary nor enthusiastic, but founded upon what I feel sure will be the result. There is one subject, however, in that pamphlet respecting the changing of the building into a winter park and garde❑ , vhich app-ars to have been misunderstood, and which I now beg to correct. It has been supposed that I wish to produce the summer climate of southern Italy during our winter, whereas it was my intention to imitate the ,winter temperature of that country, which would be about 10 degrees colder than the ordinary heat of our Awelling-houses. In order effectually to meet the questions of the sta bility and durability of the structure, and also the rinaucial difficulties which are supposed to surround it, I now propose to bring the subject into a very narrow compass ; uud therefore, since the publication of my letter to Lord Campbell, I have duly considered the out lay which would be requisite to put the building as it now stands into good condition for a permanent use, and have procured from Messrs. Fox and Henderson an es timate of the cost for removing all the boarded sides aid substituting glass, and also for putting the roof and every other part in efficient repair, which they engage to do et a cost of from 12,0001. to 15,000/. I have also procured an estimate from the same gentleten of the expenses for keeping the building in perfect repair and order during a period of 21 years, and this they offer to do fur the sum of 5,500/. per annum. To prove that no public grant will be necessary highly responsible parties are ready to take the building on a lease of 21 years, if permitted to do so; and that the purposes for which it would be retained might be fully answered, they are willing to subject their tariff of public admission to the control and supervision of Government. By these means all questions concerning the stability, efficient maintenance, and the non-requirement of a public grant, are, I hope, entirely set at rest, and the only thing now to be decided is, whether the Crystal Pa lace shall stand or not.
