Conspicuous among other advantages conferred upon society by the Great Exhibition, is one which we believe has hitherto been too generally overlooked. It must, we feel assured, tend almost inevitably to the advancement of the cause of national education. However eclectic may be the knowledge acquired beforehand by the visitor to the Crystal Palace, that knowledge must necessarily be enhanced by the ex traordinary spectacle there submitted to his examina tion. Whatever, on the contrary, may be the igno rance of others, that ignorance upon a great variety of subjects cannot fail to be in like manner dissipated. Better than all the elementary works ever printed upon any one of the arts or of the sciences, are the stores of information accumulated together from all parts of the world, and symmetrically arranged in their appropriate compartments. From the survey of these marvels may very readily be ob tained a mass of most valuable and interesting mate rials, capable of being digested by any mind gifted with superior intelligence. Nevertheless, it must not be imagined that we regard these beneficial results as at all within reach of attainment, simply by two or even by half-a-dozen visits to the Industrial Exhibition. Supposing any one to have ever cherished this notion as practicable, we would recommend him at once to proceed to the southern entrance of the Great Transept, and after passing in to the centre of the edifice, to look to the east and to the west along those mighty naves of crystal, along those galleries illu minated by the rainbow-tints of stained glass and tapestry, along that ground-perspective crowded as far as the eye can see with organs, and fountains, and colossal statues of bronze and of marble. A glance will be sufficient, we conjecture, to remove the idea that this Crystal Palace of the art and the industry of all nations can be scrutinized so very readily. Upon his first entrance into the structure the visitor finds all his anticipations dwarfed by the reality. Panegyrics that may have seemed previously to savour overmuch of hyperbole and fantastic exag geration, appear to him there in their true light as inadequate expressions of admiration. He perceives that the external view of the Crystal Palace conveys no corresponding conception as to the appearance of the interior, whether in regard to the variety of its contents or its own intrinsic magnitude. His emotions directly afterwards are those of mingled delight and astonishment—delight at the exquisite harmony of the colouring and of the proportions—astonishment at the fairy-like novelty, splendour, vastness, and diversity of the whole spectacle. Outside he had recognized the banners of all races of mankind floating from the gag -staves on the pinnacles of the edifice. Inside he beholds, grouped together in their respective posi tions, the treasures of those numerous inhabitants of both hemispheres, as strangely contrasted in their cha racter as specimens of ingenuity, as the peoples of the earth themselves are in their physiognomies and their temperaments. Before descending, however, to a detailed examination of these curiosities the visi tor finds himself sufficiently occupied in sur veying the effect produced upon his mind by the entire spectacle, directing his observation, in the first instance, to the beautiful palace itself, and afterwards to its more conspicuously revealed eon tributions—contributions made by the artist, the musician, the lapidary, and the hydrostatist. He gazes with sensations altogether new of their kind, and exhilarating in their tendency, at that arched transept of magical transparency, under which are those noble elms already thickly covered, as with their summer foliage, at the exotic plants scattered i❑ profusion among the jets of waters sparkling up into the sun shine, at the Asiatic palms and Oriental aloes clustered greenly near the crystal fountain, at the statues of statesmen like HAMPDEN, of warriors like WELLINGTON, of monarchs beloved like our own SOVEREIGN, and not the least interesting among those effigies of the illustrious, at the equestrian figure of the young Prince, who has distinguished himself by originating the whole enterprise of the Exhibition. Turning the attention immediately either to the right or left, the visitor allows his gaze to wander down those long and luminous vistas of blue and yellow, so lovely in the ordering of their perspective, so animated by the moving forms of their fre quenters, and so lit up by the rich hangings of crimson by which the different compartments are covered, as well as by the motley hues of the corn. modifies set out upon those miles upon miles 01 counter. His pleasurable feelings are produced, he very soon discovers, by the arrangements being sym- metrical without degenerating to formality, while the colouring of the entire scene is gorgeous without proving exaggerated into an effect of tawdry ostenta tion. Here and there he is attracted to some of the most interesting portions of the exhibition by the circumstance of their drawing together a more than usual concourse of spectators. He peeps over the shoulders of one group and sees in an . session Iron throughobilsearrecessi cage richly gilded the great Koh-i -; noor diamond or "mountain of light," for the pos of which the princes of the East have struggled an another and heon of generations —over another and he the famous jewels of Lahore—over finds that some pianist is collecting round him neous trial of the audience in to listen to an externpora thastrum.ent. He pauses before a crystallized pillar metamorphosis, be mistaken fo r wife after her LoT's oanwditiht the intention of proves to be a block of alum. He hurries examining the contents of the Palace o f I ndustry in something like sequence as to the particulars, and finds nim3elf, in spite of every such determi n ation, s exe cueing a sort of intricate zigzag upon the floor —now stand ing before an illuminated clock, with every second throbbing into light, now before a spinning j et My in full operation with the factory girls dressed fb mord ing to their wont, and tending the reels of fibre with the most obervant looks, and the adroitest fingers. One remarkable piece of mechanism proves on in quiry to be a steam-engine of 700 horse-pow*T ; and another, scarcely less a matter of wonder and ;admira tion, turns out to be an envelope-folder constrt ti3ted by DE " Rus, an apparently unwieldy mass ofcrh a lks and hin ges , that performs its appointed office in the twink - here i n n g of all eye, and with unerring regularity. very ': sfiort, th ese amaz i ng cur i os iti es a , bound throughout th e length and breadth of the C; nstal LONDON, Palace, so that the visitor requires no small amount of self-possession to preserve his attention from lapsing into a state of bewilderment. We presume that no doubt can, therefore, any longer remain either as to whether the Exhibition can be thoroughly examined in more than a glance, or when examined prove capable of advancing the cause of education. Although the Income and Property -tax Bill stands for a third reading this evening, after which no im provement can be effected for twelve months, we should not altogether despair of some modifications being agreed to even at the eleventh hour, if those who are impressed with the injustice and inequality of the existing system would force their views on the Legislature, and determine to try the effect of a divi sion for the purpose of obtaining some instalment of justice. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is entitled to no degree of credit for the promised inquiry. He resisted it to the very last, declaring that his mind was made up, and that no good would arise from the investigation. It was not until he had sustained a signal discomfiture, being defeated by a majority of 14, that be yielded a re luctant assent to the appointment of a Select Com mittee. The nomination of that Committee has not even yet taken place. It may be fairly constituted of impartial and unprejudiced men, and from what fell from the PREMIER last week in reference thereto, we would fain hope that such will be the ease. But we alao know the peculiar opinions of Sir CHARLES WOOD on this subject. The Right Honourable Baronet, on a former occasion, when the public mind was no less excited respecting our restrictive monetary code and the disastrous consequences arising from impolitic and inequitable legislation on that all-important topic, than it has more recently been on the unequal opera tion of the equal assessment of all descriptions of in come without reference to the sources from whence they were derived, declared that a " Minister must be mad who would consent to the appointment of a Committee on any matter unless well aware of what would be the nature of their report." He manifestly considered that the reference of any question to a Committee was only an ingenious device for the purpose of putting it on the shelf until the temporary excitement should have terminated. It might also have the effect of removing some degree of responsibility from the Government and transferring it to the Committee. His powers of " packing" a Committee, so as to attain his object, have not been tested on a solitary occasion, or even when the Committee was appointed at his own suggestion. The nomination of the Com mittee to inquire into the cause of the commercial distress of 1847, when a report was carried in direct opposition to the evidence by the casting votes of himself and of the author of the inculpated law, was an illustration of the former, and of that on the Irish savings banks of the latter. In that case the Hon. Gentl eman the Member for Dublin had carried his motion for a stringent inquiry, despite the determined oppo sition and resistance of Sir CHARLES WooD, who, however, then took the matter out of his hands, and so arranged the Committee that the object of the mover was in a great degree defeated. It is, therefore, possible, that notwithstanding the protestations of the PREMIER, such a trick may again be attempted. The third reading should, therefore, be postponed until after the names of those who were to conduct the inquiry were duly published. And even if assured that it would be fairly and im- partially conducted, so that we might naturally anticipate an equitable and politic decision, why, we ask, should palpable injustice be submitted to patiently for another year, or why should not those chargeable under Schedule D en deavour to obtain some concession, although it might not be adequate to the exigencies of the case, or such as they have eventually a right to expect ? We have already suggested that a reduction of the charges under Schedule D to one-half of its present amount would greatly mitigate existing discontent, and make those who were chargeable pay their quota more willingly. While such 'gross and palpable injustice as now prevails is recognised by law, every subterfuge will be resorted to, in order to save the parties from being plundered. Exorbitan --.............../ duties occasion an organized and extensive system of smuggling and deception. Men think it a meritori- ous act to evade such inequitable enactments, which seem to be " More honoured in the breach than in the observance." And so it is that many persons deem it no great harm to deceive the income-tax collector. This evil, and anything that tends to demoralise a portion of the community by making them disre gard the truth, and carry on systematically a course of fraud and deception, despising, disregarding, and, if practicable, evading the law of the 1 and, is an evil of no ordinary magnitude —can only be averted by removing, so far as practicable, the deep sense of wrong and injury that must now prevail. The tax would be more freely paid than at present, and the loss might not be so great as may possibly be imagined. Two added to two will not always amount to four in financial arithmetic ; nor will two taken from four leave a balance of two only. We trust, then, that another effort may be made to obtain some immediate relief for the sufferers before the measure be permitted to pass through its last stage. We have seen the advantages to be gained by per tinacity. Colonel SIBTHORP would force on his amendment. The Honourable and Gallant Gentle man refused to listen to the Ministerial blandish- ments ; he would not be cajoled or diverted from his purpose, and he has achieved his object. The farmers are relieved, although their grievance was nothing in comparison to that of many of those charged under Schedule D. It is, however, one of the weaknesses of our excellent Minister of Finance, that he will truckle to opponents and concede matters which he would obstinately refuse to his steadiest friends. ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN FOR THE WARD OF LANGEOURN.—On Saturday a numerous meeting of the con stituency of the Ward of Langbourn took place at the school room in Lime-street, over which the Lord Mayor presided. Mr. J. Masterman, M.P., amid great applause, proposed Mr. W. Cubitt, M.P., as a fit person to represent the ward in the Court of Aldermen. He did not hesitate to declare that the more the electors should see of his Hon. Friend the more they would admire his energy, decision, and integrity.—(Cheers.) Mr. Kilby seconded the nomination. Mr. Singer and Mr. Finley then addressed the meeting. The latter gentleman, in alluding to Smithfield-market, said it was a mere matter of quarrel between the Government and the corporation.-- (Cries of " Yes, yes !" and " No, no !") The Government had never made a greater mess than in the market question. Mr. Brook said Mr. Cubitt had been chosen as a candidate because he was the best man they could find. He was so well known in the City that he needed no eulogy. No other candidate having been proposed, Mr. Cubitt was unani mously elected alderman of the ward, and in a short speech returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him. Mr. Beach, the treasurer of the ward schools, moved a vote of thanks to Sir Jon Key upon his retirement to the Ward of Bridge Without. The motion having been seconded by Mr. White, was carried amid loud cheering. A vote of thanks was moved and carried for the Lord Mayor as chairman of the meeting, after which the wardmote was dissolved. A MAN KILLED BY THREE IRISHMEN AT STAM FORD.—(From a Correspondent.) —This generally quiet town was on Saturday evening, about half-past six o'clock, thrown into great consternation by a report that a man named George Large had been murdered at the Horse-shoe Inn, Red Lion-square. From what can at present be learned, it ap pears that seven or eight men and the deceased had been drinking together for some time, and in the course of the afternoon a few words took place between Large and an Irishman named Patrick M‘Glen. They afterwards agreed and staid together for some time, when Large was standing by a table, and on remarking that he would leave the Irish company, he was struck by M`Glen on the left temple. De ceased immediately fell on the floor, and then *Glen, to gether with two other Irishmen, named Michael Barnet and John Farrell, set to kicking him about the body, the other parties ( with the exception of a man named Wilson, Wh o was half-drnnk) having left the house. The poor fellow evidently died from the first blow, although the savage at tacks were continued for some time. Policeman Mitchell succeeded in apprehending lII•Glen and Barnet at a lodging house as they were about leaving the town. Farrell, a lodging-house keeper, was shortly after taken into custody. A post mortem examination has been made, and an inquest will be held this day (Monday.) Deceased was unmarried and thirty-two years of age. FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS AT CHELTENHAM. —Ar rivals—Hon.

We Dave received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. It is evident that the partizans of the Elysee are anything but sanguine as to the disposition of the Assembly to revise the Constitution in such a sense as shall secure to the PRESIDENT the prolongation of his powers. In the Con.vtitutionnel we find the following, which may be considered as at the same time a threat to the Assembly and a bid for democratic support : " In 1852, it is agreed by every one, and the Socialist party has announced it to us, that the law of May 31 will be the standard of revolt; the great revolutionary emeute will have its mot d'ordre, and we know that in all the sanguinary days of our history it was only necessary to have a mot d'ordre and a standard for a civil war to break out. In presence of the ardent and invincible respect of the National Assembly for the latter of the Constitution, may not the President of the Republic also feel fresh scruples, and in his patriotism be alarmed at sanguinary collisions? May he not, by his Ministers, demand from the National Assembly the repeal of the law of May 31? We believe that this law, which found a strong majority to vote it, will again find one to maintain it. But in that case let the majority beware! The National Assembly would create for itself a new and difficult situation in the country. On one side the revision of the Constitution is objected to ; on the other, carrying even to the blindest stoicism this adoration of the text of the Constitution, the revocation of the law of May 31 would be refused, a law which, on the day of voting, would light up an immense conflagration in every part of the country. That conflagration would not certainly be to be feared if there existed between the two powers, between the National Assembly and the President of the Republic, a powerful accord of ideas and of action. But, if, after having accomplished its own object, the National As sembly leaves us there, exposed to every kind of con flict, and to the most frightful catastrophes, we at least ask from it the repeal of a law which is only useful to itself. Could the National Assembly, under such cir cumstances, at the eve of a re-election, render us any assistance ? Certainly not. Would the Executive Power and the Government, on the eve of changing hands, be.well armed enough to defend us from assas sination and from pillage ? Certainly not. The Na tional Assembly, therefore, holds in its hands the lives and fortunes of society ; it cannot wisb that it should be destroyed. To sum up, then, let the National Assembly revise the Constitution for the safety and prosperity of France ; or, if that be not voted, let the law of May 3l be revoked in order not to increase our dangers." M. DE LAMARTINE, in the Pays, declares himself an advocate for the revision of the Constitution, pro vided such revision shall be made legally, and shall not be made in the exclusive interest of any man or any party, and that it shall be preceded by a return to universal suffrage, thus leaving to the people at large the free exercise of the sovereig❑ right to ap point a constituency, with full powers to revise the Constitution on safe republican bases. " Much regret is felt at Grenoble," says the Bulle tin de Paris, "that a great number of the officers of the National Guards should have given in their resig nation, in consequence of the suspension of the Colonel ; for the Government will probably feel it self compelled to disband the whole of the National Guard of the place." Out of 168 officers of the National Guard of Grenoble, 102 resigned. The Aioniteur of Sunday contains a decree diisolv in the National Guard of Grenoble. The Legislative Assembly postponed the fhrther discussion on the Western Railway Bill to Monday, in order to consider the proposition of AI. SCHIECHER for lowering the fares of third-class carriages one fourth. Before submitting to the Diet the question of ad miszion with all her states,Austria will lay before that body the protest of France and England, and call on it to protest against this interference i❑ their internal affairs. It is probable that she will also call on the Diet to put an authentic interpretation on that article of the final act of Vienna, which declares as a purely domestic matter the admission of new states into the Confederation. Count ARNIM is instructed to make the necessary propositions on this subject. The Berli❑ Chambers were to be prorogued on the• 9th. The Provisional Central Federal Commission will be dissolved on the 15th. RUSSIA AND POLAND. An Imperial ukase has been published at St. Pe torsburgh, declaring Poland to be the 16th postal dis trict of Russia. About three weeks ago, as some boatmen when dredging in the river Zbrucz, which separates Galli clan from Russian Podolia, they came on a colossal statue in stone, which they succeeded in bringing safe to land. The height is about 18 feet, and the figure has four heads covered with curly hair and without beard. It was recognised immediately to be the representation of SVANTOVIT, one of the principal gods of the old Sclavonian race. It is supposed to have lain in the water for at least ten centuries, and is in excellent preservation, nothing being wanting except the bow and horn, the former from the right hand and the second from the left. This divinity had a celebrated temple at Arkona, in the isle of Rugen, where human victims were sometimes offered up. This temple, remarkable for the wealth which it contained, was destroyed in 1168 by WALDEMAR 1., King of Denmark. This statue, which is the only one extant of the divinity, has been presented by Count POTOSKI, on whose ground it was found, to the University of Cracow. HOLSTEIN. The sudden departure of M. DE TILLISCIX from Kiel is attributed to a Ministeriel crisis at Copen hagen, resulting from the notes lately received from the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna. The Breslau Gazette of the Bth says the mission with which the Count DE PLESSEN, the Danish Am bassador, is charged with to the Austrian Court, is less with the view of the settlement of the Schleswig- Holstein question than to the obtaining that it shall be submitted to a European Congress, a result much desired by the Emperor of RUSSIA. It is thus wished to withdrawn the subject from the action of the Ger manic Diet. M. Moan ( (de la Drome) has presented a proposi on for the establishment of a property tax. The Committee charged to examine the different questions relative to the affair of the La Plata treaty has concluded that part of its work which relates to the subsidies consented to by the convention of the 12th of June, 1448, in favour of Monte Video, and has charged M. .LARRABURE, its reporter, to demand urgency from the Assembly for the grant of an ex traordinary supplementary credit of 153,598 f. 41c. on the estimates of 1850, for the payment of that sub sidy during the second six months of 1850, and of an extraordinary credit of 850,000 f. on those of 1851 for the payment of the said subsidy during the first six months of 1851. The Committee has postponed until its next sitting the commencement of the dis cussion relative to the ratification of the treaties be tween France and the Argentine and Uruguay Go vernments. The Paris correspondent of the Indipendance of Brussels, writing on the Bth, says :—" There has been a good deal of talk to-day of a letter received by a young member of the right, stating that an in terview had taken place between the Duke D'AUMALE and Count DE CHAMBORD at Milan. The former, if the receiver of the letter is to be believed, declared himself completely subjugated; and even added this familiar phrase, which is singular as an eulogium— The Prince completely humbugged me' (Le prince mi a completement blague). You will believe what you will of this strange piece of news ; I repeat only what is said." The same writer also says :—" It ap pears that the affair of M. CHANGARNIER and N. LEDRU ROLLIN (the invasion of England by the former at the head of 12,000 men, to establish a Re public), will give rise to discussion in the tribune or the press. It is affirmed that M. JULES FAYEE, who was present at the nocturnal interview o f th e general and the ex-Minister of the interior of the re volution, is to give explanations." The Bulletin de Paris says :—" We le arn f rom a good source that the Pr i nce DR J OIN VILLE has writ ten to a person of some importance, that neither he nor the Duke DE NEMOURS, nor the Duke D'AU MALE, had authorised any one to consent in their names to the fusion, or to anything relating to it. This letter is said to have . arrived in Pari s t wo d ays since. The f us ion, therefore, at the pr esen t t i me, re sembles those marriages which want nothing but the consent of the parties whom negotiations wish to bring together." We find the following in the Assemblie Aationale: —" Count DE DIEfRICHSTEIN, who, until the events of 1848, filled with so much distinction the post of Austrian Ambassador at the English Court, has been for the last two days at Paris. The visit of this diplomatist is, it is said, con nected with the project of the incorporation of the non-German provinces of the Austrian monarchy into the German Confederation. This project it is not now possible to realise in presence of the oppo sition of the great Powers, but the persevering will:of the chief of the Austrian Cabinet is too well known for any one to feel astonishment at seeing him persist in his idea. Prince DE SCHWARTZENBER G waits until circumstances will allow him to resume with advantage his project of incorporation ; and at present he wishes to induce France, if not to co-operate, at least to renounce any formal opposition to it. Such appears to be the object of the mission of Count DE DIETRICHSTEIN." USINESS )•il;', IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, MAY 10.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived. The Gageta publishes a royal decree regulating the receipts and expenditure for the present year, subject to such changes as may be made by the Cortes. The reductions on the last budget amount to 30,547,000 reals (nearly 8 millions of francs), and the augmentations to 12,015,000 reals. In addition to these augmentations, however, a credit of 30 millions of reals is opened for the interest and sinking fund for the last six months of the year of the public debt, the regulation of which is ill the course of set tlement, and a further credit of five millions of reals for the arrears of interest and for the sinking fund of the Treasury debt for the last six months of 1849. These credits are to be opened only in the event of their being sanctioned by the Cortes. The budget of receipts is diminished to the extent of four millions of reals on the, post-office revenue, and increased to the extent of 4,500,000 reals in the revenues of Puerto-Rico. In the budget of receipts will also be included the extraordinary receipts of thirty millions arising from the sale of national property. Another reduction of 32,962,886 reals is mentioned, as shown by Report No. 3, and an augmentation of 8,498,243 reals, as shown by report No. 4, and for which credits are opened. A steamer will leave Cadiz for the Spanish West Indies on the Ist of every month. MADRID BOLSA, MAY 6.—Three per Cents., 35k; Five per Cents., 154. Exchange on London, 50 90.

The Adependance of Brussels says—" All the letters from Germany state that immediately after the opening of the Diet, Austria will bring before the Assembly the question of the entry of all her pro vinces into the Confederation. It is added that Prussia will consent to this, in exchange for a parity in the supreme power. It is further stated that Austria will propose that resolutions shall be valid if voted by the simple majority instead of with una nimity." _ _ The Duchess of ANGOULEME is in Vienna endea vouring to negotiate with the Austrian Government to bring about a restoration in France. The Austrian Cabinet has stated, in answer to the remonstrances of England relative to the occupation of central Italy, that the occupation of Tuscany by the Austrian troops is based on a treaty between the two Governments ; that the occupation of Rome by the French troops has not been resisted by Austria, as she is convinced that the maintenance of order and tranquillity in the Roman States depends on the combined efforts of the two Governments. The Wanderer says Prince SCHWARTZENBER G has sent to the small states in Germany a declaration ' upon the German ques tion, in whi c h th e v i ews o f h i s Government are fully developed. it is reported that DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, MAY s.—The summonses addressed to the Notables have been forwarded to-day. They will meet on the 14th at Flensburg, under the presi dentship of Count BILLE-BRAHE, who will submit to them as the basis of their deliberations the project of M. DE SPONNEK. The result of their deliberations will afterwards be presented to the KING. PERSIA. A letter from Bagdad of March 2, in the Journal de Constantinople, says :—" The English Commis sioner charged with regulating the boundaries be tween Turkey and Persia, having proceeded to Shus ter, the ancient Suza, the winter residence of the Kings of Persia, caused excavations to be made there, and came on some columns sixty feet in length and six in diameter. He also discovered a tomb and the mummy of a woman with a bracelet on the arm, and a cornelian and agate necklace round the neck." A weekly newspaper in the Persian language is now regularly published at Teheran. It is the first periodical ever published in the Persian empire. TURKEY. The cessation of the blockade of Samos has been officially announced by the Porte. CIIEKIB EFFENDI has been nominated Commissioner to the Danubian Provinces. One hundred and twenty Greek families have sought refuge in the Turkish territory from the tyranny of the Greek Government. ITALY. The Queen of NAPLES was safely delivered of a Prince on the 27th ult. The Risorgimento of the 6th states that the military league between Rome, Tuscany, Modena, and Parma, will probably be concluded very shortly. According to this plan 20,000 Neapolitan troops are to occupy the Tuscan and Pontifical States, in order not to leave the French an excuse for a prolonged stay at Rome. Constituzionale of Florence announces from Rome, that on the 27th ult. Signor BALDASSERONI and Car dinal ANTONELLI came to an agreement about the continuation of the Bologna railroad to Pistoia. Nothing has been decided as yet concerning the railway from Siena to Rome. REMOVAL OF THE COURT TO OSBORNE.—It is ex pected that her Majesty the Queen and Prince Albert, with the Court, will remove to Osborne about the 2lst instant. The Royal yachts, the Fairy and Elfin, are both ready for service ; and the Victoria and Albert will also be ready lot service in a few days. COALING AT ST. HELmeA.--Arrangements hay been made for coaling steam-vessels at St. Helena, at the rat of 153 tons a day. It may be well to state, for the information of parties interested in the renewal of the Commission for the sale of Irish encumbered estates, and in the proposed legis lation with respect to the advance of loans on the security of landed property in Ireland, that the Master of the Rolls only waits a favourable opportunity for applying for leave to in troduce two distinct Bills on those subjects. It was origi nally intended to embody both objects in one Bill, but upon a more mature consideration of the distinctions which exist between the two cases, separate legislation for each has been decided upon as more advisable. THE ENCROACHMENT ON KENSINGTON -GARDENS.— At the meeting of the Marylebone vestry, held on Saturday, it was resolved to appoint a deputation to wait upon Lord John Russell, and endeavour to avert the serious misfortune threatened to the public by the introduction of a carriage drive into Kensington-gardens. The subject, it was stated, will be brought before the House of Commons this evening by Mr. Hume, and the deputation, accompanied by several gentlemen from Kensington, will wait upon the Premier in the course of to-day. As LIGHT AS A FEATHER.—The largest quill of the golden eagle weighs only 65 grains, and seven such quills do not weigh more than a copper penny-piece. The feathers of a common fowl weighing 37 ounces, weigh only 3 ounces; and the entire plumage of an owl weighs only one ounce and a half. THE REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY OF CAM ERIDGE.—OR Saturday next the requisition to Mr. G. F. Young to come forward as a candidate for the representation of the county of Cambridge will be presented to that gen tleman, at the Lion Hotel. We rejoice exceedingly to be able to make this announcement. The period of uncertainty is now over, and we have a candidate fur the third county seat who is wholly and heartily with us on the great ques tion of protection to the cause of native industry. Mr. Young will address the electors assembled upoa the occasion of the presentation of the requisition ; and as nothing can be well done amongst Englishmen without a dinner, there will be an entertainment afterwards, at which we expect a very large company will attend.—Cambridge Chronicle. FEMALE SERVANTS' HOME. —The anniversary meeting of th **institution took place on Friday. In the report it was stated that the receipts of the society were, • during the past year, 472/. 18s. 6d. ; and after the expendi ture of the association, there was a balance in hand of 261. 13s. 2d. Several resolutions were proposed and agreed to, in support of the objects of the society. The meeting then broke up SUMMER AMUSEMENTS AT LEAMINGTON.—The popular recreations already announced for the summer months afford ample evidence of the spirited liberality of their promoters, and the sanguine expectations which they entertain of a successful and remunerative season. In the latter respect we are inclined to think that Leamington from its proximity to Stistfurd-on-Avon, Kenilworth and Warwick Castles, and other places of universal interest to Continental tourists, will experience a 1 urge influx of com pany. The preparations already made for their amusement are of a varied and continuous character; the daily prome nade concerts, for which the German band has been re engaged, with additional strength from Cologne, will com mence on the 19th instant, when a Pyrotechnical Fete will form an agreeable conclusion to the musical attractions of the evening. The first Horticultural Exhibition, announced for the 28th instant, is one of those permanent sources of public gaiety which are regarded by the fashionable circles of this and adjoining counties as entitled to a large measure of support, from the liberal encouragement which the sche dule of prizes affords to practical growera, and the increased inducement which energetic competition holds out to amateur florists. A brilliant gathering is anticipated on the forthcoming occasion. The members of Archery Societies established in all parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, are busily engaged in making the necessary ar rangements for an attendance at the Grand National Archery Meeting, which will take place here on the 26th and 27th of June, and form the leading event of the ensuing season.— Leamington Courier. WIDENING OF PARR. LANE..---The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have decided upon widening Park lane from Oxford -street to Grosvenor-gate, to the extent cf eight feet. This desirable step has been taken on the petition of the inhabitants, who have been required by the Commissioners to pay half the expense incurred. DEATH OF THE REV. SIR R. AFFLECK.—We have to record the demise of this venerable Baronet, who died on the 7th instant, at his seat, Dalham Hall, Newmarket, aged 87. The deceased gentleman was son of the Rev. James ♦flleck, vicar of Finedon. The baronetcy was originally con ferred upon Edmund Affieck, for his distinguished conduct at the engagement between Admiral Rodney and the French squadron under Count de Grasse, on the 12th of April, 1782. He also received the thanks of Parliament. The deceased is succeeded by his son Gilbert. It is reported that, at the general election, the pre sent independent representative of a constituency in the south of Leinster will be requested to retire, and that the constituency will invite Sir James Graham to offer himself for the representation.—fferald. REAR-ADMIRAL THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBER LAND AND LIFE•BOATS. —The Duke of Northumberland, on accepting the office of president to the loyal National Insti tution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, has not only generously contributed 100 guineas to its funds, but has also, with his usual benevolence and munificence, fur ther guaranteed to complete the coast of Northumberland from Berwick-on-Tweed to Tynemouth with life-boats, rocket apparatus, and every means necessary for the preser • vation of life from shipwreck , at his own ex pense, and ex elusive of the funds of the above institution.
