in doing so said he felt he was performing an agree able duty. After the eloquence they had heard to day in support of the exhibition, he felt he need say nothing to urge the meeting to be liberal in their subscriptions; but still he was bound to remind them that whilst subscriptions would be raised in all parts of the country the metropolis would be most benefited by the exhibition.—(Hear, hear.) He was convinced, therefore, that the citizens of London would liberally support the exhibition, and he was quite sure the corporation in its public capacity would do so like • wise. —(Cheers.) The resolution having been carried by acclamation, The LORD MAYOR spoke a few words in acknow ledgment of the compliment, and the meeting broke up.

Scarcely a syllable of commendation is required to be pronounced on the illustrious personage from whose generous heart and enlightened intellect the notion of this superb Exhibition has emanated—his whole conduct, since the morning of his nup tials with the Queen of ENGLAND, being his noblest and worthiest panegyric. His Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT, according to the happy remarks of the gentleman who proposed the second resolutios, " is already associated with and identified by much that is wise, and sound, and useful ; and since his auspicious connexion with this country has won his way by a quiet, unobtrusive, and most consistent course, till at last the very mention of his name calls up in the minds of Englishmen the deepest feelings of the most affectionate respect." It was a felicitous thought of the august Consort of our SOVEREIGN to propose a demonstration such as the one by which 1851 will be rendered for ever remarkable —tending, as it must inevitably do, to secure the prosperity of Great Britain, and to aid in the maintenance of peace throughout both hemispheres, advancing the interests of com merce, and promoting the cause of civilisation. No more brilliant evidence could by any possibility have been afforded that the age is greatly in advance of its predecessors, and that we especially, as a nation at once, mercantile, industrial, and manufacturing, are willing to advance unrestrictedly with the rest of the peoples of the earth upon the noblest of all the fields of popular competition, the pacific rivalry of the arts and the sciences, the toils of the workshop and the factory, the labours of the atelier and the labora tory. It was from his appreciation of the magnanimity evinced by the inhabitants of these islands in the cordiality, or we should rather have said the enthu siasm with which they have at once accepted the scheme as laid before them by its illustrious projector that one of the speakers yesterday expressed his con fidence in the advancement of the national character " I believe," said he, " that the proposition cannot but be in harmony with the sentiments and feelings of the philosopher, as well as with the wishes and aspirations of the statesman, but that it should be in harmony with the public feelings of this country is most extraordinary, and is an evidence of the great progress of public feeling, and of the rapid circula tion of enlightened views, enlightened sentiments, and liberal principles." Of the truth of this reflection the facts themselves are the completest attestation, In leaving the matter unargued as one altogether %elf-evident we shall not be considered indifferent to the fascinations of a logical demonstration. Nor, if the reflection be received aright, shall we be regarded as biassed by party predilections, when we observe that any such exhibition as the one now in preparation would have been incompatible with the maintenance of commercial monopoly, that it could never have been attempted in the days of mercantile protection, and that prior to the acceptance of free-trade principles it must have been either an egregious mockery or a day-dream wholly incapable of realisation. Under existing circumstances, however, we can hold out inducements to the industrious of all nations with out distinction to compete with ourselves in the three great branches of human industry arts, sciences, and manufactures. With the aid oif the new policy, in augurated not leng since, under the auspices of the Peel Government, England can witness with un alloyed satisfaction the openirg of this noble Exhibi tion at the commencement of the new half -century— an exhibition which must render the middle of the ninet een th century an epoch. for ever memorable, being, in fact, as SAMITgI. JONES LOYD admirably expressed it yesterday-- " A great Olympian festi tal of modern industry." No finer enterprize was , •.ver proposed to any one of the great nations of Ch. 7istendorn—no enterprize was ever conceived more capable of securing the preservation of peace and ofi moinoting amicable re lations among the different rac `e s of the globe. The recurrence of such exhibitions, in fact, necessitates the maintenance of good feelin 2 among the competi tors in the peaceful tourneys c 1 4 ' industry ; it renders inevitable the continuance of g( Pa l 1 feeling among the various kingdems of the earth, nr,h I binds together in the indiss o l u bl e b onds of friendship the most remote and hitherto antagonistic races of the four continents. Recognizing, therefore, the en ormous advan tages that must inevitably accrue from the due development of a ache ' : eel happily project e d, i t was with peculiar satis faction 8 that we heard yesterday from the lips of the Prime 41.nister of England his eloquent enforcement of - the necessity of carrying out the enterprize on a scat l e proportioned to it s - magnitude.

I should be giving a very narrow view of the importance of the occasion if I were to tell you that this was an object of the nation. I could only be giving a true account of the occasion if I were to tell you that it was an object beneficial to all nations." This enlarged and cosmo politan view of the character of the Exhibition it is which has induced the Royal Commission to abandon the original contracts and to throw themselves en- tirely upon the country. That the country will respond to the generous confidence of the Commissioners we are satisfied, especially after witnessing the rapid increase of the preliminary subscription from the first few hundreds to the pre sent total of more than 11,0001. Before 1850 has expired we are sanguine that the preparations for the proposed Exhibition will be so far advanced that we shall await with security the new year and its splendid demonstration. It is, indeed, difficult to conceive the grounds upon which the re-admission of Mr. WILLIAM HENRY BARBER, to whose fearful and heartrending, but most unmerited sufferings, we recently alluded, to the active duties of his profession can be resisted. What can be the objects of the Incorporated Law Society in exposing that cruelly persecuted and ill used gentleman to new and formidable expenses, and vexatious and harassing delays ? Under the peculiar circumstances of his case his application should at once have been conceded ex debito justitim, or, at the very least, the accusations should be of a direct and tangible character, sustained by prima facie evidence sufficient, if unanswered, to justify the expulsion of the party from the list of at torneys, if then in possession of his certificate. The former charge of being concerned in the vile for geries, with a guilty knowledge of the frauds, had been fully adjudicated on by the only authority re cognized by law, by which the erroneous decision of a jury upon facts could be revised, or modified. After the most stringent•and searching inquiry, after maturely weighing every circumstance of the case, not as a jury would do, where the benefit of any reasonable doubt should have been given to the party on trial, but as a judge in a civil case, deciding on the balance of evidence, Sir GEORGE GREY arrived at the deliberate conclu sion that Mr. BARBER was "free from any guilty participation in the frauds, of which he had been made the instrument." Here, then, the subject was finally and for ever closed. The innocent and much injured man could not be subjected to a new trial at the prosecution, we had almost written per secution, of an irresponsible body. If he had even evinced a want cf due caution, which we most em phatically and positively deny, and on which we would willingly join issue with his oppressors, has he not already far more than sufficiently expiated the over confidence in the character of his wealthy and, as he believed, respectable client ? Ii the breaking up of his former connexion, the loss of the position and standing in his profession, to the very highest point of which he was rapidly progressing, to be accounted as nothing ? Is the total annihilation of five of the best years of his life, during which he would unques tionably have acquired a handsome independence by his own indefatigable exertions, and the necessity of commencing his labours de novo, to be considered a light or trivial punishment for a simple act or acts of indiscretion Above all, is the weary and tedious voyage, for more than one-third of a year, as a manacled felon, in a floating dungeon— the miserable captivity in that earthly hell, Norfolk Island, for nearly three years, during which he was compelled to perform the most degrading offices—a slave among the most miserable and wretched of slaves, and in which he was deprived of the scanty in dulgences allowed to the most criminal of his guilty associates, to be altogether involved in oblivion ? No ! if the vague and unwarranted suspicions, of his worst enemies, his most unrelenting antagonists, were even as well-founded as they are really false and un justifiable, he has endured hardships and privations, he has sustained heavy and irretrievable losses, far more than sufficient to have atoned for every fault of omission or commission that had ever been ascribed to him, and he should now be received with open arms by his legal brethren, and cordially wel comed back to the arena of his former labours—the busy scenes of professional life. What then, we again ask, can be the ob jects or motives of the Incorporated Law So ciety, which is supposed to represent the great and influential body of attorneys and-solicitors, not only in the metropolis, but throughout the entire king dom, in bringing their entire strength to bear against a single individual whose means of resistance have been so greatly reduced by previous misfortunes ? The duties which the association has undertaken, and for which it was constituted, are simple and clear; they are to take cognizance of any improper or unprofessional conduct by members already , admitted, and to guard against the introduc tion of persons whose characters were so blasted, and reputations so totally destroyel, that they would reflect disgrace upon an honourable profession. But in the proper and efficient discharge of these impor• tant duties, the society must deal with facts and not with surmises ; they must bring forward distinct and unequivocal charge!, which may be fairly grap pled with and successfully rebutted ; they must not establish a domestic inquisition, prying into the most secret events of an entire life, on the mere possibility cf establishing some grave offence ; they must not call upon the suitor to perform a literal impossibility, " to prove a negative," to show that he has ever been free from blame or imputation ; they must not call for proofs and evidences such as no tribunal that was ever established has ventured to demand. They attempted in Mr. BARBER'S case to institute an inquiry into his entire private and professional conduct, to produce unknown and unnamed witnesses to establish charges openly alleged or fairly put forward, but which were concealed in the thoughts, or rather the suspicions, of the managing committee. That attempt most sig nally failed. The Learned and eminent Judge (PAT TESON), to whom their application was preferred, most properly refused to notice their vague insinuations, or to sanction an investigation which was wholly without a precedent in the entire history of British jurispru dence ; and yet, although their failure was so signal, they have succeeded in protracting the inquiry for nearly an entire year, at an enormous expense and most serious injury . to Mr. BARBER. It is a trite remark, that members of a public and irresponsible body will, in their collective character, be guilty of acts of which, as private gentlemen, they would blush to be supposed capable. It has been, we fear erroneously, supposed that a numerous and important association could not be influenced by private or personal considerations, and that its every act must be regarded as emanating from the purest and most straightforward motives and intentions. But, un fortunately, there are but too often " wheels within wheels ;" there are secret machinations and concealed influences in operation, of which the public can know nothing, and which they can scarcely understand or conceive as being within the bounds of possibility. A preliminary mistake often leads the erring parties to lengths which they themselves would shrink from, if placed fairly before them in the first instance. They speedily cease to struggle for justice, the contest becomes one for victory—for victory —we say. to be obtained under any circumstances, and at any cost. The Law Society have maintained their first false position too long ; they now endeavour rather to justify themselves than to preserve the purity and honour of their profession. Having struck the first blow on frivolous and insuffi cient grounds, a spirit of rampant and virulent anta gonism has sprung up, growing on what it fed— " nursing its wrath to keep it warm," which it would appear could only be satisfied by the destruction of the doomed victim. Victory, not truth, is now the object. Air. BARBER must not, however, despair; his case will be disposed of by a high and impartial tribunal. No preconceived prejudices, no secret bias will influence the judgment of a British Court of Justice. Ills judges are above fear, and above reproach ; magna eat veritas, et prevalebit. How ever thick the mists, and dense the darkness with which prejudice may, for a time, succeed in enveloping a subject, the light of truth will eventually shine forth clearly and brilliantly and dispel all de lusions. He, above most men, should know that there is an overruling PROVIDENCE, a retributive justice at work, that breaks the fetters of the captives—that takes the sting from 4 t. , f t. 7. .7. • • . 4_ll, 7 50 ,7 • f r A 6 "6— .. l *(ll , t • eh- , 'tj ° T#O . l. -. rte• 4 ' It° 'l4 •-•,•--"' *0, 4 0 4 _ ninth% tlnt LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1850. No doubt can any longer be entertained that the Great Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, destined for celebration in the ensuing year, will be one commensurate in every particular with the grandeur of the enterprise. After the magnificent meeting convened yesterday in the Egyptian Hall, at the M ansion- house, there cannot possibly, on this point, be any further hesitation. Besides, as was fe licitously observed by one of the Right Honourable Speakers, not the least distinguished among the Mem bers of her MAJEsTv's Government, there are certain figures of arithmetic worth all the figures of rhetorc in the universe—and in neither the one nor the other were the proceedings of yesterday defi cient. While fourteen orators proclaimed the immense advantages, and eulogized the bene ficent tendencies, of the undertaking, in speeches of various, and, in one or two instances, of consummate ability the secretary indicated the auspicious development of the project by reading aloud a brief but comprehensive list of the most munificent subscriptions. This catalogue of voluntary contributions towards the liquidation of all incidental expenses may be regarded, we repeat, as at once brief and comprehensive—brief, when con trasted with the magnitude of the scheme adventured , upon, but comprehensive as comprising represen tatives', of almost_ every important class of the com- calumny—that overthrows the machinations of the persecutor, and restores the victim to home, and friends, and family, to unblemished character and un sullied reputation—which, in the beautiful language of the Magnificat, "puts down the mighty from their seats, and exalteth the humble and meek."

The discussion on Thursday was much less disorderly than it had been on the pia. - ceding days. In the course of it CrJneral D'Haur- Poor, stated, that from all the accounts which had reached the Government, it was clear that the men were themselves anxious for their removal. There was only one means of putting an end to the state in which they were now placed, and that was for them to submit to the condemnation which had been passed on them by the Constitution. In the meantime the Government was about to place them in a Letter situ ation. They would be in a roomy establishment, and there was every reason to believe that it would be soon ready for their reception. "We will defend them from the Arabs," said the llon. Minister in conclu sion, " but we will also defend them from your ii.- citements to disorder, which might be attended with as much danger as the Arabs. Those who have pro pagated poisonous doctrines, who have been - led to the greatest crimes, are in my opinion at least as dan gerous as the inhabitants of Algeria. If these men return to ideas of order, of labour, of respect for family ties, they will become landowners—they will find a new country in Algeria, and eventually they may become good citizens." Towards the conclusion of the di.scussion, M. JULES FATRE wished to know what was the position of such of the men sentenced to transportation as had been pardone'd—he begged pardon for using that term so improperly, as no one could be pardoned who bad not been tried and condemned—(lVlurmers.) He believed that the inferior administrative agents con sidered these persons with a suspicious and evil eye. He knew a case in which a woman, who had been taken up for being engaged in the insurrection of June, had, when set at liberty, received permission to reside in Paris, but only for three mantles, her written permission 'formally intimating to her that at the end of that periocl she was to apply for a fresh authorisa tion. By what right was that done? He knew of none. Nothing was more sacred than the liberty of the subject, and it was for that reason that he had thus addre - s'sed himself to the Hon. Minister. M. FERDINAND BARROT, who expressed his readi ness to reply at once, was greeted v‘ith cries of " No! no ! do not reply; it is an interpellation ;" whereupon the PRESIDENT decided that it was an interpellation, and that on the following day the Assembly would take it_into consideration. There was a review of two brigades of troops on Thursday. The' Constitutionnel publishes the following an nouncement on the subject of the passports required by persons travelling between France and England : "Hitherto the English; when wishing to come to France, hale been compelled to provide themselves pas - pot is from the Embassy, or from French consuls residing in England. On arrival IA the French frontier, they handed those passports to the local authority, who t. ansmitted them to the Minister of the Interior, and delivered to the travellers a provisional pass to come to Paris, or into the departments. These formalities took much time and occasioned delays, which prevented tra vellers from deriving the ads outages of the new mode of locomotion. In order to obviate these inconveniencep, the consuls of the Republic in England have been au thorised to deliver, to the English aid French who wish to come to Fiance; a simple pass which will serve them to go and retire. and wilt be valid for a month. After the expiration: (f that period if the traveller wishes to prolong his stay on the French territory, or leave it to travel on the Continent, ho must provide him e'f with a rogu!ar [assport. This measure, it will be understood, will much the relations between the two countries." For these ameliorations the traveller is indebted solely to the liberality of the PRESIDENT and his Ministers, who wculd, no doubt, have long since abolished the passport system altogether but for the absurd preju dices cf the ignorant and bigotted majority of the National Assembly. M. GALLor, the editor of the Reforme, was sen tenced by the police court of Paris, on Thursday, to pay a fine of 6,000 f. for having attached a printer's name without his permission to the number of his journal of the 22d of December last.

PORTUGAL. Advices have been received from Lisbon to the 20th. The Mowing address, in answer to the speech from the Throne, Aas:agreed to by the Chamber of Peers after a stormy discussion which lasted six days : " 1. The Chamber of Peers, highly appreciating the pleasure which your Majesty deigned to manifest at the solemn opening of the General Cortes of the Monarchy, comes to deposit, at the foot of your Majesty's constitu tional throne, the due homage of its respect, fidelity, and profound acknowledgment. "2. The Chamber of Peers is much gratified at the public tranquillity not having been disturbed since the last legislative session; and, well assured that this is the first and principal condition upon which individual hap piness and the improvement and prosperity of the state depend, it will continue zealously to offer the just and loyal co-operation that shall be necessary for its con nuance. " 3. The Chamber of Peers, partaking of the pious sentiments which animate the Royal heart of your Majesty, gives unceasing thanks to Divine Providence fur having preserved these kingdoms from the scourges hich have so much afllicted other countries; and directs humble and fervent prayers to Heaven for the continua tion of the especial Divine protection, which has so won det fully favoured the Portuguese monarchy. " 4. The Chamber heard with great sLti. faction, that your Maje,ty preserved the closest relations of friend ship with foreign poten:a'es ; and that your Majesty') Government, improving this favourable disposition, had arranged that the Portuguese flag be considered iu the Passage cf the Sound as that cf the most favoured natiun, and admittediinto the ports of Russia, Sweden, Norway, Holland, and Belgium on terms cf the most per • feet reciprocity, thus providing and securing a greater extension, facility, and advantage to our navigation and commerce. " 5. The Chamber congratulates itself that tranquillity is preserved in the colonies; and it anxiously desires that the flattering hopes - which offer to the colony of Portuguese emigrants 'from Brazil, recently ostablist ed in the province of "Angola, may be realised an d con solidated. " 6. The Chamber sympathises with your Maj'esty in the just sentiment of profound grief for the two out rages committed in tLe establishment of Macau; but it hopes that your Bbjesty's Government, strongly sup potted in the evident justice of its claims, will promptly obtain just satisiaction and due reparation; and will settle with the utmost care, that shall be necessary, the integrity of the establishment, the sovereignty of the crown, and the dignity and decorum of the Portuguese name. " 7. The Chamber will examine, as it behoves them, the use which your Majesty's Government has made of the different authorisations, which were conceded to it, and the measures which it has taken to improve the credit and meet the public expenditure. as well as the estimate of the receipts and expenses cf the state, and the proposals which will be laid before them. In this examination they will consider with every care and cir cumspection the true situation of tf.e country, to alopt just, approp r i a t e , and effiemicus measures which expe rience may have shown necessary to improve the public service, and to establish upon solid bases the Cefin.tlve organiza'ion of the public revenue." The budget has been presented to the Chamber of Deputies. The receipts for 1850 51 being esti mated at 7,414,000,000 reis, and the expenditure 8,938,000,000 nip, leaving a deficit of 1,500,000,000 reis. The QUEEN, Don FERDINAND, and the chil dren, have given up 156,250,000 reis for the service of the states for this year. It is worthy of remaik that the donation.of the QTSEEN is the same as it was to Don Jowl VI. when the country was in a pecu liarly prospering state, and possessed Brazil. In the course of the discussion on the address, the Duke of SALDANDA spoke against the Count DE Tuoman, wh o , i n hi s defence against the accusat i on of havin g accepted a caleche as. a bribe, made use of two very u n l uc k y expressions Speaking of the caleche aff a i r , h e said that the accusation rested solely upon the ass er ti on o f a m i sera bl e wor k man ; and, with refer ence to the general charge o f corrup tion, that it did not stand to reason that any man in 20, 1650 his high official situation would soil his hands wih trifling bribes. The terms miserable and trifling were of course eagerly caught up by the Opposition orators, who gave them the proper emph.lsis, and made the most of them to work up public feeling against the " heartless Minister who despised honest workmen," with whom Count LAVRADIO owned, though an old aristocrat himself, he was proud to shake hands, and who had the effrontery to insinuate that he would not condescend to accept any but handsome bribes. Count DE THOMAR is supported by the Court, but it is doubted whether in the event of an outbreak the army would support him now that SALDANIIA has declared against him. At Oporto there has been something like a military emeute against him ; the men of one of the regiments there having turned out, and in a clamorous manner demanded their arrears of pay. At Braga Septernbrista meetings have been held; and at Avo a Miguelite guerrilla was or ganized, but immediately dispersed in consequence of the Chief having been killed in an encounter with the authorities. The Portuguese Government steam-vessel .Min dell arrived at Lisbon on the 10th, with a numerous quantity of packages, ten passengers, and two horses, and received pratique in fifty hour; without unloading, or a single article going to the Laz iretto, whilst the Montrose's passengers were obliged to undergo four days' quarantine at the lazaretto, and, what is still more glaring, the Montrose, on her return from Gibraltar, was again subjected to the same grievous proceeding, whereas, by their own regulations she should have been admitted to pratique. By the last ordinance issued by the Board of Health, all vessels leaving Great Britain on or before the Bth January, 1850, shall be admitted to pratique, but the first case of cholera reported by the Portuguese Consul in Lon don on it goes again with all its severity, and glad will they be to have the opportunity, as they reap an excellent harvest all the time its in force. we again ask, will the - Sovereigns of the world suffer their,Court3 to be desecrated by the presence of the representatives of thie monster ? Is it quite safe for a Minister lika Lml PALMERSTON, who Inay per chance be honoured by the 'nand of the Red Em- PERO; to permit an liptriao to approach his person?

There was a tremendous gale from the south-west on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, during which several vessels drove on shore, and others received damage. The following is a list of the disasters, from the Gibraltar Chronicle : "The British brig Vigilatt was carried higher up on the bead , . When driving ashore she had come i❑ con tact with the French brig-steamer L'Amazone, the bow sprit of which was carded away. " The town fdlucho Fuente Santa also had her mialn mast carried away; the Sardinian packet-brig Corn ruercia lost her bowsprit; the British cutter Tangier Packet part cf bcr bulwarks, bowsprit, &c.; the British valachero Bashaw of Tangier, her gibboom; and a Tuscan valachero, as also a Sardinian tartan, their t)pma3ts. " The Lady Rowley was driven ashore near Fort St. Philip. " '1 he Neapolitan ship Luigia Carolina lost her fore topmast, and the town schooner Cleanentina her bow sprit. It further appears that many vessels dragged their anchors, and several parted chains. The Lady Rowley lost two oft ash. " It is expected that the Vigilant and Lady Rowley will be got afloat now that the weather has moderated. " The French brig L'Estele :parted from both her anchors on the 16th, and came on shore close to the jetty. It is expected that, after discharging part of her cargo, she will be got off. `• The Hercules is expected fcom M.4!ta, on her way to England with invalids. She is to take a company of Artillery from this garrison." GERMANY. The Second Chamber of llesse Darmstadt has been dissolved, The 20th of March is the day for the opening o .he Diet of Erfurth. Prince EDWARD of Saxe Weimar, has inherited, from his aunt, the late Dowager Queen ADELAIDE, of England, a sum of 80,0001., who has also left hand some legacies to his brothers and sisters. Berlin journals of the 21st state that as no hopes were entertained of reconciling the differences be tween the KING and the Chambers, the Brandenburg Ministry had resigned, and the KING had commis sioned M. GEhLACH (an Absolutist) to form a Minis try. The combination of persons who are to act under M. GERLACH is announced to be the follow ing:— Ecclesiastical Affairs—Count CRASSOW, Member of Parliament for a Pomeranian borough, and an ultra- Conservative. Justice—Dr. GEOTZE, President of the Court of Appeal at Greifswald (Pomerania). Foreign Affairs—Baron Rocuow, Prussian Am bassador at St. Petersburgh. War-office—Baron Raucif, :Major. General and Adjutant to his Majesty. Home-office—Baron KLEIST- RETZOW, Member of Parliament. Finance—M. lIANSEMANN, Member for a Rhenish borough, and c x-Minister of 1848. Trade—M. VAN DER Herm, the present Minister, banker at Elberfdd, in Rhenish Prussia, and (we be lieve) Member for that borough. A different Ministerial combination is quoted in the Borsenhalle, where we find it stated that Baron RADOWITZ has arrived at Berlin, that Count BRAN DENBURG and Baron STROTIIA are about to resign their posts, and that the KING has commissioned Baron MANTEUFFEL to form a new Cabinet. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, JAN. 23.—His MAJESTY and the other members of the Royal Family have returned to the Higue. The Stoats Courant publishes the budget of ways and means for 1850. The sum total of the receipts is estimated at 70,994,969 florins. This includes ground rents, 9,966,000 florins ; per sonal tax, 5,998,000 florins ; patent tax, 2,446,000 florins; excise, 19,125,560 florins; indirect taxes, 9,108,000 florins ; import, export, and ship dues, 4,533,340 florins; Post-office, 1,130,000 florins. The Stoats Courant also publishes a statement of w , the income of the State during 1849, from which it en appears that it amounted to 54,022,811 florins. The Handelsblad states that the heirs of the late King WILLIAM are in treaty with the Emperor NICUOLAS for the purchase of the valuable collection Jan of pictures in the Gothic hall of the Palace of the Hague. The QUEEN DOWAGER has offered a very considerable sum to secure this treasure to Holland, but it is far below its real value. NETHERLANDS EAST INDIEs.--We have received letters from Batavia to Nov. 28. The intelligence re ceived from the residence of Kadoe, announces that the losses caused by the eruption of Mount Merope, were net so great as were at first apprehended. This is, in fact, owing to the heavy fall of rain which set in immediately after the eruption of the volcano. MURDER OF GENERAL BEM. The Brealauer Zeitung has letters from Vienna of be 18th, announcing the decease of General Bern, aho fought in 1848 in Vienna, and in 1849 in Hungary. It appears from letters from Systow, of the 2d inst., that General Bem died suddenly, and (it is asserted) from poison. This news of course requires confirmation ; for since General Bem is known to have protested that he was doomed to die in the year 1850, nothing is more likely but that some of the Sclavonian newsmakers have attempted to amuse the world with a fictitious report of his death. The details of the alleged death of General Bern are, that the Porte, having entered into an engagement not to employ him in military service, found it too onerous to pay the General a large salary which they had promised him, and that the Sultan's Ministers thought proper to remove the burden by dispatching the annuitant.. The Hungarian and Polish refugees were to be transported to Asia on the 12th inst. We copy the above from the second edition of the Times. Of the death of General Bern we fear there can be no doubt, and equally little doubt is there that he has fallen a victim to the infernal plot concocted by the Austrian Government and their agents for the assassination of the Hungarian refugees. The Constantinople correspondent of the French National states expressly that the persons arrested at Varna, declared that the plot was to assassinate the chief refugees, and to accuse the Turkish authorities of the crime—a plot which we now see is carried out to the letter by the Austrian reactionaries and their newswriters. The Austrians, not the Turks, are the murderers. Poisoning is par excellence a Lorraine-Hapsburgh crime. TURKEY. AUSTRIAN CONSPIRACY TO MURDER KOS SUTH AND HIS COMPANIONS. There can now be no doubt of the existence of a conspiracy to murder Kossurn and his companions in exile, in which conspiracy the Austrian Govern ment and its Minister at Constantinople are deeply implicated, if they are not (as is most probably the case) its originators and concocters. The author of " Revelations of Russia," has ad , dressed a letter to two of the English Morning jour nals, in which he states that he has 7tceived a letter from Kossuisi, late President -Governor of Hungary, bearing date Dec. 17, 1849, which contains the fol lowing passage " The Turkish authorities gave us notice tl:e other day of a conspiracy against toy life. But they do not venture to expel the bravoes they hale pointed out." The reason why these bravoes are not expelled is that every one of them bear Austrian passports, and are under Austrian protection. It would be well that the Red EMPEROR should add to his other titles (the list of which occupies some page or so of " The Gothia Almanac") that of Protector of Ammo.

The Queen and his Royal H;ghness Prince Al bert took their usual early morning walk. The Royal Family took widking and pony exercise in the Slopes and Windsor Park. The Count and Countess de Neuilly, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, and the Prince de Joir,ville, visited her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert this morning, and partook of luncheon with the Queen and Prince. There is no addition to the royal dinner prty this evening. Her Mjesty will hold a Privy Council on Wed nesday next, the 30th inst., at Windsor Castle. Sum monses to the Ministers and officers of State were issued yesterday from the Council-office. The Commissioners for auditing the public tzc- , counts, with their Secretary, Mr. Bromley, attended the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at the half-yearly declaration of accounts. Sir Thomas Freemmtic, Chairman of the Customs, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer yesterday, at his official residence in Down ing -street. Mr. W. P. Robertson, Consul-General of the Equador, had an interview with Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Foreign -office. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. The Domino Noir, one of the cleverest and most agreeable operas in the Auger repertoire, was per formed last night, cast in a similar manner to what it was last year, the principal character being sustained by Mdlle. Charton, whose singing, as the heroine, lacked none of its ordinary attributes of grace and fascination. To this general award of praise little need be added, for this charming vocalist has frequently played the part of Angela in this country, not only while under the managerial flag of Mr. Mitchell, but during the early experiences of Mr. Delafield, at Drury-lane. As Mdlle. Charton is just now in the meridian of her powers, the beauty of her present execution of the music will be easily understood, and compliment therefore is superfluous. It is sufficient to say that she never sang more exquisitely, played more piquantly, or appeared more personally interest ing. N. Lac was substituted for M. Cuuderc in the part of Horace, and exerted himself to the utmost. The us€ful and intelligent AI. Buguet resumed his old role of Gil Perez, displaying therein his usual comic richness, and obtaining an encore in the graphic "Nous allons avoir, grace a Dieu," and MM. Soyer and Chsteaufort were again the representatives of Juliano and Lord Elfort ; while Mdlle. Cotti was the Brigitte. The opera was thus cast in a very efficient manner, and the fl uen t spar kli ng strains of Auger were heard under circumstances of advantage that could scarcely be surpassed. The choruses were carefully execu'ed, and the instrumentalists, under the direction of M. Hanssens, played the accompani ments with steadiness and precision. The house was well fiiled. On Monday next the lessee, with characteristic activity, produces the Caid of Ambrose Thomas fur the first time in England. The reproduction of Auber's popular opera Le Domino Noir attracted a crowded audience to this theatre last evening, amongst whom we observed the Duke of Brunswick, the Duke of Devonshire, the Turkish Ambassador and suite,..the Baroness Brunnow and Mdlle. Olga de Lechner, Mirchoiness of Cons ngham, Earl and C Juntess Granville, Countess Dowager of Essex, E trl of Belfast, Viscount Clifden, Viscount Cranborne, Lord Adolphus Vane, Lord Fitzroy Somerset and Miss Somerset, Sir Ralph and Lady Howard, the Marquis d'Az,glio, Mr. and Mr, , . John Sanford, Sir H. Campbell, Sir Henry Webb, Sir John Lister Kaye, Madame de Lizardi, M. and Ma dame de Horta, Mrs. C. Franks, &c. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. King Charles the Second was repeated last night, for the thirty -fifth time since its production in October last—no small proof of its popularity. Harrison, Madame Macfirren, and especially the Fairy Queen of Song, Louisa Pyne, are heard in it to great advan tage. Alina is played to-night f,,r the last time this season, and on Monday Ilalevy's Val d'Andorre is to be brought out, which it is confidently expected will prove a brilliant hit. The pantomime continues to run with undiminhhed attraction. It is diffi,ult to say whether Honey's impersonation of King Jamie, or Herbert's, at the Olympi,, of the hero of Sinde, is the more extraordinarily ludicrous. The unparal leled Flexmore is a tower of strength to this or any theatre; and his coadjutor, one and all, acquit them selves admirably. The marvellous flexibility of Wright, who is fast rtaliiing our anticipations of his pantomimic eminence,:end the astounding somer saulting of Lebar, constitute them an incomparable pair of sprites.
