Yesterday morning, precisely at (sieve° o'clock. the :lore the Lord Mayer teok ehete t l e. mon Council Chamber at the Guildhall, for the special purpose of giving to the members of the court an oppor tunity to discuss a motion by Mr. James Anderton, with reference to the Papal aggression, and for the transac tion of the general business upon the notice paper. The minutes of the last court having been read by Mr. Woodthorpe, a report from the Prison's Committee, brought up by Mr. James Low, in the absence of Alder man Wire, for sealing a contract for the completion of the building of the new prison at Holloway was agreed to, and ordered to be sent back for execution. THE MINISTRY AND THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. The LORD MAYOR then rose and said that it was with much pleasure that he had consented to call the present meeting at an early hour, for the special consideration of the notice given by Mr. Anderton on the subject of the Papal aggression. He would suggest, therefore, that the memorial be read, in accordance with the usual custom. This having been done by Mr. WOODTHORPE, Mr. ANDERTON said that he rose upon that occasion to propose the following motion, notice of which ho had previously given, namely:— " That netitione be presented by this court to both Houses cif Parliament against the late aggression of the Pope of Rome, and for preserving the supremacy of the Queen, and protecting inviolate the civil and religious liberties of her subjects." By virtue of the oath of supremacy which I ho, in com mon with all the members of that court, had taken upon their induction into office, he felt bound to resist the at tempt made by the Roman Catholics to establish eccle siastical titles in this kingdom. That oath, to which he adhered, stated that "no prince or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction in these realms" for any such purposes as those contemplated by the Pope of Rome.—(Hear, hear.) Therefore it was that he upon that occasion had thought it proper once more to bring the subject before the representatives of the city of Lon don iu Common Council assembled. The question, then, before them was whether or not the Pope of Rome, by his recent bull, had or had not exercised, or attempted to exercise, ecclesiastical authority within these realms. —(Hear.) The question was whether these parties had or had not attempted to deprive the Queen of England of the authority to which that illustrious lady was entitled by virtue of the puissant position she was called upon to fill.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Au derton) thought he should have no difficulty what ever in proving that the Pope in his late bull had done so, or at least that he (the Pope) had attempted to exercise ecclesiastical and spiritual authority iu these realms. If he proved this, he should consider that he had entitled himself to call upon that court to ex press a further opinion upon the aggression to which he had alluded. All they asked for was a common protec tion for their faith, and that ho called upon the whole of the members of that court to give, while they had it in their power; and to resist the present impudent ag gression on the part of the Pope of Rome.—(Hear, hear.) Doubtless they had read, and unquestionably ' they would remember, that " his Holiness," in that man datory document, had referred to Gregory the Great, who had given instructions to the monk Augustine to Convert our forefathers. Now, what followed in that case? Why, that in the train of the said monk there was not less than forty followers or priests appointed to bring the Saxons to Christianity. As it wee in this case, so it would bo in the present instance. Pope Pius had sent Cardinal Wiseman to convert the people to Roman Catholicism, and the " priests" would, doubt less, shortly follow him.—(Hear, hear.) Suppose they were to admit this aggressive principle, what would be the result two hundred years hence, when they would all be in their graves? Why, their children would have to fight for the faith of their forefathers, while their children's children would blame them for their want of dignity of soul and determination of man ner in the present critical instance. Mr. Anderton having minutely criticised several points of the " bull" of Pius IX., in the course of which he (Mr. Anderton) denounced very strongly the appointment by the Pope of archbishops and bishops having ecclesiastical juris diction in this country, then proceeded to say that he would make no observation to the court which would bear at all upon the religious part of the question. He would only say that he was most anxious and desirous that every man should enjoy civil and religious liberty, and that all men should have the opportunity of wor shipping God according to the dictates of their own consciences.—(Hear, hear.) That he deemed to be every man's right and privilege, as a man and a citizen. — (Loud cheers.) But while he (Mr. Anderton) granted this to his fellow-citizen, as a Roman Catholic, he (Mr. Anderton) claimed for himself protection from that kind of religious aggression which might deprive him, as a Protestant, eventually of his immunities and privileges. —(Hear, hear.) The present attempt on the part of the Popo he could not but regard as an aggression, and r tain it was that it was their duty to say to the Pope, Thus far shalt thou go, but no farther."—(Hoar, hear.) Was it not the fact that the Pope was brought back to his throne, or rather to St. Peter's chair, not by the power of public opinion, but by the force of French bayonets?—(Cheers.) That was the man who sought to coerce England—a man who would not remain where he was for twenty-four hours, had it not been for the assistance of French bayonets. In illustration of the arbitrary and intolerant proceedings of the Papistical leaders in former times, Mr. Anderton read extracts from one of the statutes of Henry VIII., in which it was enacted that no woman, or artificer, or servingman, or husbandman, should read the Bible or New Testa ment to himself or any other party under pain of one month's imprisonment ; after which he (Mr. Anderton) denounced most strongly the conduct of the Premier, whom he said ought to have sent the celebrated " bull" of the Pope back to his " holiness" at Rome, to deal with as he (the Pope) might think fit. Ho (Mr. An derton) regretted the milk-and-water policy of Lord John Russell, and he trusted that every man in that as sembly would unite with him (Mr. Anderton), who would shed his blood in defence of the Protestant faith if required to do so, to represent fully, fairly, and honestly, to the Commons of the United Kingdom their opinions upon this important question. He would con clude with moving that petitions be presented by that Court to both Houses of Parliament against the late aggression, and that the following shall be a copy of the same : " TO TEE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PAR LIAMENT ASSEMBLED. " The humble petition of the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and common council of the city of London, in common council assembled, showeth— " That your petitioners have witnessed with deep re gret and indignation the arrogant aggression on the part of the Pope of Rome upon the Queen's supremacy, and in defiance of her crown and dignity. " That your petitioners are anxious to preserve for all classes of her Majesty's subjects the full advantage of civil and religious freedom and equality; but they humbly submit that a defensive measure is now indis pensably necessary to secure the independence and pro tect the rights of the Protestant religion in this country from a spirit of Papal usurpation, insult, and ag- gression. " Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that your Honourable House will forthwith take such measures as ma y be necessary unequivocally to suppress the use of territorial titles, and the exercise of territorial jurisdic tion,foreign prince or provisionseccle i as shall be necessary with such delegation otr from to prevent any s y nodical action on tho p art of the siasc under, Ito mish clergy, under colour of authority f rom th e S ee o f R om e, and effectua ll y vindicate the independence of the Crown, and secure this kingdom from all interference or domination. " And your petitioners will ever pray, s ix .e Mr. J. T. Nonaxs seconded the motion. In doing so he did not think it was at all necessary for him to go much at length into the argument, as the feeling was evidently nearly unanimous in favour of the motion he had tho honour to second. He would, however, raise his voice against that whic h he considered to be an at tempt on the part of some parties to abridge the rights of the Sovereign, and to limit the liberties of the subject. He regarded that as being the fitting time fur the Court of Common Council to approach the bar of the House of Commons upon the matter of Papal aggression, seeing that of late it had presented such a peculiar phase. lle thought that that was the period for them to assert their rights and liberties as Protestant Christians, and to struggle against the attempts made for ascendancy by a hierarchy confessedly Roman Catholic. He believed, and ho spoke it without hesitation or reservation, that many of the evils which had come upon them in this matter were to be attributed mainly to the sleepy con duct of those who had be en pl a c e d as warders of t he P ro t e stant faith.—(Hear, hear.) It was the fact that these men had been feeding upon the glebe of Pro testant profit while they h a d b een t h e mos t active of all ot h e r personsin leading the wa y t o Popery and its mumnaeries.—(Cheers,. and hear, hear.) In order to show to the Court the significant evils connected with Pa pistry, he would take them back to the reign o f the se e. e nd Henry in the year 1190, a period which, as the chro nicle! Mime, afterward . s corroborated by Dr. Lingard, had been marke by signs of the most serious character and peorteni:2lls. of the most fearful results both to the regal and the authority, in consequence of the dic tatorial spirit of the Church of Rome. And this spirit continued for many yeas_ and even so late as 1750 the god in Parisnd the same sa me principles were m anife.. , , a effects followed , showin g that o,etholiFisin, professed and practised in the Romish Church ; is the same as it always was, and as it always must be.--(Hear, hear.) He did not appear there as the exponent of either Pro testant or Catholic opinions; these he left to live or die as best they might; all he wished to 5( o was the purity of their practice, and he had no doubt but that pract;ce which was most puro would be best sanctioned, and meet with its deserving meed of success. With , regard to the influence of Romanisre, when . tried by this test, he would refer them to an extract from one of the re cent works by Mr. Macaulay, who had stated that, in the neighbourhood of Rome, where the immediate in fluenceslof Romanism ware most directly felt, there ex isted mental torpor and physical miser y , whilst in nc igh bourhoods where Protestantism reigned might be found mental vigour, philosophical industry, .and healty sical developments—(Hear, hear.) Let them ph com pare the country round Rome with that round the city of Edinburgh, and they would find the facts the same. So it was in Holland and in Ger many. In Switzerland, how different both in appear ance and intellectual development were the Protestant and the Roman Catholic cantons—(Bear,hear)—and in Ireland the fact broad and plpable was still the same. — (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Lot them look at the recent period of 1848, when Europe was from one eud to the other of her continental border racked with intestine commotion. Even in Rome the Pope could nut shah curly even in St. Peter's particular chair—( laughter)—while in England every man was proud to be in a position to defend his Queen and his own liberties by being sworn in as a " special constable,"—Gear, bear.) For ono he was determined to adhere to the faith of his forefathers. and therefore it was that he 50 ,3 , 3 e, Cep :entice, ea; eplered hie fellow ecrToreZore te support the same.—( Loud entering.) Mr. GILPIN said, that at the risk of being " alone in his glory," he would undertake to move " the previous question," inasmuch as he thought that the motion did nut go directly to the point required to be met. He was not one of those who was favourable to the doctrinal tenets of the Church of Rome, but he was in favour of " civil and religious liberty " to all classes of men. He thought the motion was exceedingly vague; and as re garded the fears entertained by some as to the assump tion, by the Cardinal or the Pope, of ecclesiastical titles, no harm, in his opinion, would arise from that. He thought it absurd for people to object to Ni cholas Wiseman's being made Archbishop of Westminster, while John of Tuam was allowed to call himself an " archbishop."—(Hear, hear.) Lord John Russell had proposed a Bill, a very little Bill, and finding afterwards that even that was not sa tisfactory, he (Lord John Russell) had struck out of it the very clauses of any value in it, because they were the only workable ones it contained.—(Hear, hear.) What had been the result? Why, that neither the very liberal Earl Fitzwilliam in the one House, nor the not very liberal Robert Harry Inglis in the other, could say less than that they were, both of them, disgusted with it.—(Hear, hear.) He contended that the tendency of the opposition to the measure was in a great degree to give effect to the establishment of a Catholic hierarchy, and hence in a great degree had arisen the present op position to the existing movement.—(Cries of " No, no.") He believed it was so, or why was it that Milner Gibson and John Bright had been scouted? Why, it was be cause they had seen and felt this, and therefore they had voted against the measure.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He denied that the " masses" in the country had had the opportunity of fairly expressing their opinions on this Bill. It was true that the " drum ecclesiastic" had been sounded in the cases of Sheffield and Bir mingham ; but in the former place the promoters had dared not come to a public meeting on the question, and in the latter town they met with scarcely any patronage. With regard to the proposition, he consi dered it to be inexplicit, unnecessary, and out of place, moat likely to be mischievous, and prejudicial even to those who desired to promote the object contained in the resolution.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the best way was to let the poor, puny measure of the Whig Premier alone, for certain ho (Mr. Gilpin) was that it would shortly be transferred to the tomb of " all the Capulets," the common receptacle of so many " Whig" abortions. — (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Gilpin) would exhort the mem bers of that court to cast aside their fears with regard to the probable influences which it was predicted would arise from this " Papal aggression." What they had to do was this, to send forth their missionaries to pro mulgate the truth and to spread around the world edu cation and sound principles.—(Hear, hear.) They need not then be afraid of bishops' miters, nor of altars, nor croziers, nor silk aprons, for the truth was "mighty," and it would " prevail." Any attempt to overthrow it would prove futile, for as well might man, by his insig nificent masonry, attempt to produce a result which should prove equal or superior to the " everlasting hills.—(Loud cheers.) He would, therefore, move as an amendment, " the previous question," Deputy PEACOCK seconded the amendment. Mr. ELLIOTT regarded Poper) as being the sworn and bitter enemy of intellectual advancement, as one of the remnants of the dark ages, and highly dangerous to the moral, political, and social condition of tne people at largo. Mr. Elliott concluded a most eloquent speech amidst loud applause. Mr. JONES and Mr. BOwER then addressed the court. Deputy PEWTRESS, who warmly supported Mr. Elliott's view of the subject, said he would give perfect liberty, both orally and otherwise. to the Roman Catho lics, so that they might disseminate the doctrines con nected with their religious faith; but if he found that either the system they followed or the practice they pur sued was likely to interfere with his rights and liberties as a Protestant Christian, he should feel it to be his duty to ask the Government to protect him against such an unfair advantage.—(Hear, hear.) The Ecclesiastical Bill brought in by Lord John Russell he (Deputy Pew• tres9) considered to be a most absurd thing—a mere futile piece of legislation, which would be repudiated by the House, and unanimously rejected by the country at large.—(Cheers.) Mr. Goreime said it appeared to him that the Corpo ration were at the present moment where they were when they petitioned the Legislature on the subject of the Papal movement a few months ego. Although the Bill Brought in by the Minister was far short of the feelings of the community, yet the principal clauses of that in effective proposition had been removed to gratify the wishes of a fere individuals whom the Government con sidered it advisable to please, in the teeth of public opinion.—(hear, hear.) He believed that what had taken place in consequence of such a course would have a salutary effect upon the Church of England, the advocacy of whose cause by Lord Eldon he well remem bered, prophetic as it was of the dangerous incursions of the Catholic priesthood. He felt convinced that the most wise proceeding the Court could adopt would be to address her Majesty, praying that she would dissolve Parliament and give the masses the opportunity of re turning men able and willing to support their privileges, , especially those privileges which were connected with their religion, and were attacked by the Pope of Rome. —(Cries of " No, no," and " Hoar.") Alderman COPELAND, in answer to an allusion which had been made to his conduct in the ward of Bishops gate, as to the enforcement of the payment of the tithes, stated that he was in the habit of attending to adjudicate in that extensive district in order to promote the econo mical convenience of the inhabitants, and to facilitate the collection of a very moderate amount of tithe, which had been accepted iu lieu of a much larger claim by a former incumbent.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the matter immediately before the Court, he was determined to make every effort of which he was ca pable to uphold the Protestant religion. It appeared to him that the question was now, shall the Reforma tion stand?—(Loud cries of " Hoar, hear.") That was the question at issue. He would say, that if Romanism were to obtain the ascendant, by and by not a brick of the churches dedicated to Protestant worship would be allowed to stand.—(Hear, hear.) For his part, he would do all of which he was capable to get rid of the dishonour which was reflected upon the character of the Sovereign and of the people sho governed by the issue of the Papal bull.—(Cheers.) He would ask those around him to make inquiry in the offices of merchants in the Italian trade on the subject of the treatment of the poor Jews who were unfortunately located in the dominions of the Pope.—(Hear, hear.) They would learn that the persecution of that people rivalled the his torioal cruelties of former ages. He hoped the Lord Mayor would soon give the citizens of London an op portunity of testifying their feeling upon the projected measure, by calling together the livery in common hall, to tell her Majesty's Ministers that they would not be satisfied with any measure that was not calculated to put down effectually the aggressive interference of the Pupa of Rome.--(Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON, in reply, expressed his surprise at the manner in which Mr. Gilpin had met the proposi tion, fur he believed that the Quakers were more in debted than any other body of Christians to the over throw of the Roman Catholic religion in this country. He felt confident of the necessity of the measure he pro posed, and su he was assured every one would who be lieved that it' it had not been for the Reformation this country would be now under the influence of the Pope, instead of being blessed by the most tolerant religion known in the world.—(Cheers.) The question was than put, and the amendment was lost by a vast majority, about a dozen hands having been held up for it. The original motion was then carried amidst cheers. Upon the motion that the petition be adopted, Mr. BowErt moved, as an amendment, that the follow ing words be inserted after the word "ecclesiastic:"," and to secure the rights of private families from the unfair influence of the Roman Catholic priesthood, too often exercised at the bed of the dying." Mr. R. LAMBERT JONES seconded Mr. Bower's amend ment, or rather addition to the petition. Ile could not forego the opportunity of expressing his admiration of the language used by Earl Fitzciflium, a few nights ago in Parliament, when speaking of the tendency of the Bill in the }louse of Commons to expose the Legislature to contempt.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Low thought it would be injudicious to point at any particular transaction in a petition intended to ex press the gene ra l f ee li ng o f t h e C orporat i on , an d that if theynwehemiee necessary ailitr meantyoLtoT mightt toihnnotmour not become c e specific a t o b v j a e c r e i o t y n s , f i t m w a o t t u e l r d s b o e f ciotme wouldthem b t e o treat. a — b i ( o H t e o a n r . a ) m e a committee to draw up another petition, which might be better adapted to the views of the great body of the Court. Mr. Deputy Lorr said the petition, in its original form, was calculated to convey adequately to Parliament the sentiments of the Corporation. Independently of the objections made to the amendment by Mr. Low, he considered that it would be prudent to avoid the use of any language capable of being construed into an allusion to the case pending at present in the Court of Chancery. Mr. HENRY BLAKE suggested the reading of the whole petition, with the amendment annexed, and commented upon the difference between its original and its amended form, to the prejudice of the latter. Alderman SIDNEY approved of the addition proposed by Mr. Bower. In France the law prevented any death bed interposition by priests for the purpose - of obtaining legacies, and it was but right that in England similar protection should be afiorded. The amendment was then rejected by a large majority, and the original petition was carried amidst acclama mations. It was then agreed that the Sheriffs should present the petition to the House of Commons. A discussion took place upon a petition presented by Mr. R. L. JONES from the Rev. Sir John Page Wood, rector of the parish of St. Peter, Cornhill, for the assent of the court, as patrons of the living , to a lease of pre mites in the palish being granted for twenty-one years at wase performed a b ywhohisl curate, and never showed hims elf to the p arishione rs lea per annum. e f l c t a w l latsh urgede dut shactfthtbeeinccbuumrchbentot b except when he applied upon the pecuniary matters attached to the living. It was answered, that with the performance or nou-perfornaance of the clerical duties the bishop of the diocese, and not the C ommon Council, had concern; and that the report of a committee could not affect the question in any way. By one menthei it was argued that some advantage might arise from referring the petition to a comm i t tee, and it wa s s t a t e d th a t i u consequence of some agitation in a neighbouring parish some time ago, an overgrown pluralist had thrown up his City living, and it eventually got into the hands of a reverend gentleman who per formed the duties of his sacred office so admirably that the congregation increased sixfold.—(Hear, hear.) The petition was ultimately referred to the general pqrpoaea ooramittce, OS, $24 1 wee k a pro teaseith w Y a fair AiIVOY its, ill' Ott th : teal"' ditU re. as 101. of ite/ , le d 00 d ba11• n ot to , b t. oidet bulderi bo sub- D ijon of g 113 01 .; iign b 1 ,r thre. ;sea of ous Oa ° P 300°5 inge 00 in b°lll and AS nt da9► Woo to of our o 161 ! thenis— ot 104 WO. er tb irj la We lrolorg 4d -1313.56 F 3 56 3 56 P )00* LY•) Teeo' THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, PENITENT FEMALE ASYLUM. Mr. HENRY BLARE presented a petition from the Corn ; Penitent Female h-t.• &Alum for a grant in aid of their funds. The institution was one into whose bosom un fortunate females, wherever they might reside, were re ceived and supported to the utmost extent of their funds. It bad a peculiar claim upon the benevolent, for it af forded succour and relief to those who were afflicted with the awful malady of the loss of virtue, a malady by which they were cut off from the respect of one sex and the sympathy of the other, and often plunged into a condition of hopeless crime. Subjected to the jeers and taunts of the thoughtless and the unfeeling, the victims of seduction commenced a course of horror which ter minated in misery the most appalling. The institution he recommended made every effort to save the wretched objects who were to be seen at night at the corners of streets with bleared eyes and bloated countenances, and its endeavours had been blessed with such suCcess as pro mised the greatest source of gratification to its benfi cent supporters.—(Cheers.) Mr. Blake then, in a very feeling manner, described the effect produced upon the grateful hearts of the poor females who were received into the establishment, and the extraordinary efficacy of the system of kind discipline adopted under its regula tions, and concluded by moving that the petition bo re ferred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee. The motion was unanimously agreed to. Upon the motion of Mr. R. L. JONES, a petition from the president and governors of St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, for a grant to their funds, was referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee. Mr. FREEMAN (chairman of the Coal, Corn, an•i Fi nance Committee) brought up the following reports, which were agreed to, and referred back to be carried into execution :—For granting 210/. to the Asylum for Idiots, 1051. to the German Hospital, and 1054 to the Ragged School Union. Mr. 11. L. TSYLOR brought up a report with the draft of a petition to Parliament against the Metropolitan Market Bill. After some opposition from 'Ur. BENNOCII, the report and petition wore agreed to.—Adjourned. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, MARCH 13.—THE WORLD'S FAIR.—At two o'clock this day arrived the American frigate St. Law rence, Captain J. R. Sands, in twenty-one days from Now York. She has on board Mr. Stansbury, the United States Commissioner for the Exhibition of all Nations, who is in charge of the American contributions. On coming into the roadstead and sighting the British standard on Osborne Palace the fired a royal salute of twenty-one guns in honour of England's Queen, and a short time afterwards she saluted the American Consul at this port, Joseph Rodney Croskey, Esq , with nine guns. She is expected to proceed to Southampton to morrow. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICAN FRIGATE ST. LAWRENCE. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.—The United States' fri gate St. Lawrence, 50, Commander J. R. Sands, arrived off Cowes about two o'clock this afternoon, after a pas sage of 22 days from New York. She is the bearer of the long expected freight of American contributions to the Great Exhibition of 1851, in Hyde-park. The St. Lawrence has anchored in Cowes Roads for the night, and will probably come up to Southampton to-morrow, when she will exchange salutes with the town and im mediately commence discharging the articles intended for transmission to London. We understand that she brings a much larger quantity than WAS at first expected, there being upwards of 500 exhibitors in all, and there are between 1,000 and 2,000 packages, extending to a total of nearly 1,000 tons of general products of industry, many of which are of great interest and of considerable value. Owing to the largeness of the freight all the armament of the St Lawrence, save only the guns on the spar deck, had to be taken out. She has a complement of 303 sea men, and is officered as fellows : —Commander J. R. Sands; Lieutenants Charles S. Boggs, Latham B. Avery, Washington Gwathemy, George H. Prebble; Purser, Samuel P. Todd; Surgeon, Lewis P. Hunter; Assistant- Surgeon, James F. Harrison; Master, Bays N. West cott; Passed Midshipman, Andrew F. Munroe; Mid shipmen, J. R. F)ffe, Henry Erben, jun.; William T. Glassel, Captain's Clerk, C. S. Livingston. In connexion with the arrival of tins vessel it may not be uninteresting to give a short account of the proceed ings adopted in the United States which led to the dis patch of the St. Lawrence to the shores of Great Britain with so extensive a freight of American industrial pro ducts, designed to ent , .r into competition with those of the Old World at the Crystal Palace. The subjoined account i 5 abridged from a late American paper:— "On May 17, 1850, a letter was addressed by the Secretary of State, Hon. J. M. Clayton, to the President of the National Institute, transmitting the correspondence which had taken place betwee❑ the Minister Plenipoten tiary of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and the State Department relative to the proposed Exhibition. This letter was immediately laid before the Institute, and by it referred to the following select committee:—Peter Force, Joseph Henry, W. R. Johnson, J. J. Greenough, and Charles Wilkes. _ _ Tne committee reported in favour of taking imme diate action, by nominating a central authority' for the United States. The report was adopted on the 27th of May, and the following gentlemen were nominated to the State Department:— " Millard Fillmore, Chairman. " Peter Force. I " Charles F. Stansbury. " James A. Pearce. " J. J. Abort. " Levi Woodbury. " Lowii Warrington. " Joseph Henry. " Alexander D. Bache. " Joseph G. Totten. " Thomas Ewbank. " William Easby. " Leonard D. Gale. " Joceph C. G. Kennedy. " Ezra C. Seaman. " William W. Seaton. " Charles Wilkes. " Jefferson Davis. " Matthew F. Maury. " J. James Greenough. Walter R. Johnson, Secretary. " The authority thus nominated way approved by Mr. Clayton, the then Secretary of State, and the central authority at once entered upon the discharge of their duties. They addressed a letter to the Governors of the several States, of which the following is a copy:— " CIRCULAR. LETTER ADDRESSED BY THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE SEVERAL STATES. " Ropms of the National Institute, Washington, June " ' To his Excellency the Governor of --• " Sir—We hive the honour to submit to you the ac companying papers, from which it will be seen that the undersigned have been appointed a central authority, through which alone, according to the regulations adopted by the Royal Commissioners, the productions of American art and industry can be recognized as en titled to admission at the Industrial Exhibition to be held in London in May, 1851. " Our object in addressing you is to request that you will confer with societies and individuals in the State of --, and appoint a local committee or commit tees to correspond with us; and to select from such ar ticles as may be submitted by the citizens of your State th o se most suitable for the Exhibiti on . By this means we shall better accomplish the objects for which we are appointed, and your citizens be enable to avail them selves of the advantages promised by the Exhibition. "' An early reply is respectfully solicited. . Very respectfully, your obedient servants, 6 4 " A majority of the Governors appointed committees in accordance with this request., but in some cases there was great delay. " The central committee also published a pamphlet, containing an account of their appointment and duties, and of their action up to its date, as well as the regula tions of the English Commissioners, arrangement of the Exhibition, and a classitied list of objects to be admitted to the Exhibition. "The committee alto published a number of circulars of information to persons interested in the Exhibition, and a second pamphlet, containing the correspondence between their secretary and the secretaries of the Eng lish Commission, and the regulation s of the Commission adopted subsequent to the date of the first pamphlet. e Th e se pamphlets and circulars were distributed to the committees throughout the country, and attention was called to them through the press. e The committee prepared blank forms in duplicate for the a pplications of exhibitors in sufficient number to supply the whole demand by the country. " Having prepared the work for the State committees, the central committee next interested themselves to pro cure free passage for goods across the ocean. The first idea was to obtain the Pennsylvania, but that was found to involve too much expense. The Fredonia was then assigned to them, but subsequently the St. Law rence was substituted. The revenue cutters were also ordered to aid in concentrating the goods at the port of shipment. " The committee have been for some months occupied in issuing certificates for articles submitted to them by the State committees for approval. " When the goods began to arrive at New York, Mr. C. F. Stansbury, recording secretary of the National Institute, was appointed to attend to their receipt and delivery, and accordingly came from Washington for the purpose. " The services of the committee have been gratuitous —not a dollar has been appropriated to pay their ex penses—and they have, now that the Government has, at the last moment, refused them a paltry sum to carry out the plan in a manner creditable to the country, put their hands into their own pockets, and advanced the means. The object is purely national, involving the honour and reputation of the United States, and it is unjust that the committee should incur any loss." Mr. Charles F. Stansbury (recording secretary of the National Institute at Washington) is on board the St. Lawrence. He is charged by the central committee with the care of the whole of the packages, and will super intend their transmission to London and arrange for the fittings necessary for their proper exhibitioa. The cargo is consigned to the American Consul here (Mr. J. R. Croskey), who has obtained the privileg es of having it conveyed from the ship to London free of dock dues or railway carriage. Some of the packages are very large, consisting of machinery, models, sculpture, Sce. The het of exhi bitors alone occupies three columns in the "Vett, York Herald of the 13th ult. One c urious item is a n i mmense block of z:ee ore wcighiuo 16,4001 b. (eight tons), and is probably the largest single block of that ore ever ob tained. It is sent by the New Jersey Exploring and Mining Company, and cost that association many hundred dollars to transport it over the mountain roads from the mines to its place of shipment. From the magnitude as well as from the peculiarity of this kind of ore this block is esteemed a great curiosity. After discharging her carg,e, we are informed that the St. Lawrence is ordered to take on board the remains of the celebrated Commodore Paul Jones, now re p os ing in Paris. The ashes of the first Republican naval officer under General Washington are thus to be honouited by special removal across the Atlantic in p ship o f war. THE NAVY ESTIMATES. Ta THE ED:TOR Ca' TH , . I :7,9 e M.. Hu:.._, Ide. ' ees Mr. M'Gregar, thet the vote for men governs the amount of the navy cstiasates. It is the vote for artifi cers employed in the dockyards that ought to rule the expense. Lord John Russell, in a very excellent speech, has shown the impolicy of reducing our seamen and marines, and we have a confession from the Prime Minister that Great Britain can no longer be considered an island, and that, as we keep up neither a sufficient army or militia for our defences, we must trust to the navy. He has told the House of Commons that 70,000 mon were convoyed from Vienna to the frontier of Bohemia in 48 hours—that many thousand men were transported from France to Civita Vecchia in an exceedingly short time; and he admits that, without waiting for the acci dent of wind and weather, an army may be transported in a few hours to our coasts; and that if we parted with our naval force for the first six months of war we should be utterly unable to send out an efficient force to meet an enemy disposed to attack us. Ile further stated we might be engaged in war with Russia and Austria, and in friendly alliance with France, and in that case we ought to have a sufficient naval force to meet aggression; but he d:d not state what would be come of us should we have a war with France and Russia, and, if so, most probably with America to the bargain. In that case we should have France in our front with a large force at Cherbourg; Russia on our left flank with 30 sail of the line always ready, and 90,000 men disposable at St. Petersburgh, and the 2,000,000 tons of American commercial shipping, capable, as Mr. flume says, of being converted for warlike purposes, on our right flank. Why, Sir, with all this staring us in the face, would any man in his senses reduce our force who knows the difficulty of getting them together again, and who knows that we have no reserve to fall back upon, and that in a peace of 36 years no step has been taken by any Government to have a reserve? If the Government fancy they can return to impressment, let them look to the north, where the seamen have struck work because they think their rights have been tres passed upon. We might just as well attempt to return to Protection. Sir, it is on the vote for artificers and stores for ship building that we ought to economise. Strike off a couple of thousand of them, and that would be followed by a reduction of stores and materials. We have ships enough in the water, and all our ships aro full. There let them remain and season, and instead of allowing our ships afloat to lie and rot, let us keep them in repair; but so badly is that part of our establishment managed that we never hear of a ship being commissioned and going to sea without her first going through dockyard repair, even should she be an advanced ship. In a former letter I mentioned the case of the Britan nic, and I will now show another case. On the 7th of January the Cumberland was commissioned for the flag of Sir George Seymour, and did not arrive at Spithead till the beginning of March, a new ship—an advanced ship, and yet she required all this time to get ready. The Powerful arrived at the same time from the Medi terranean, after an absence of ()lily two years and three months, in splendid order, wed manned and fit for any service. With proper management, why could not the Powerful have been re-commissioned for the flag of Sir George Seymour, and thus have saved the expense of fitting out one ship and dismantling another? Sir, the system of paying off our ships after three years' service is one of the causes of dockyard extrava gance. The seamen's pay does nct increased till they have served five years. No ship should be paid off till they have been at least four years and a half in commis sion; the rigging, stores, Sc., would last that time. After three years they aro not considered fit for a second commission, and the whole is condemned and turned over to the lot yard, and the ship is sent up the harbour to deteriorate for half-a-dozen years or more, as may be. Should she not be a favourite, and should the dry rot appear, it is allowed to spread till the ship becomes too expensive to repair. She is then turned into a hulk or broken up. liord John admits that there has been a great deal of wastefulness and abuse; but he thinks it has been corrected of late years. I have been tolerably watchful of how naval affairs have been conducted for many years, but I can see no improvement; and unless we change our system of governing the navy, it will never be better. Tho three last steamers built, the Argus, the Tigre, and Magicionne, are so badly arranged, that before they are fit for service they must go through great alterations at a considerable expense. It is, however, just to say the present Surveyor had no thing to do with them, and it would be difficult to find a father for them. The Penelope, which has been under repair for up wards of a year, is again commissioned for the coast of Africa. During her last commission her guns were re moved to allow her people to be berthed, the between decks being so low that it was, I suppose, considered dangerous to keep them there. The same thing ie to happen again, so that we shall have is red pennant com modore in a ship without guns, while the Sidon has been lying at Portsmouth for eighteen months ready for com mission, her rigging rotting, her boats and spars decay ing, and, if kept in that state much longer, will require refitting before she can go to sea. Another system of store destruction it is high time to put a stop to the flag ships* at the ports and the guard ships are rigged, a id at the beginning of winter their topmasts are struck. To put their topmast rigging down below would not occupy two hours ; but there they remain with their rigging rotting on their mast heads like a parcel of Portuguese. Nine votes have been carried ; it is not yet too late. Let the House of Commons strike cff two hundred thousand pounds from the 10th vote, and that will teach the Admiralty eco nomy. Colonel Sibthorp proposed a moderate reduction of the salaries of the First Lord, two secretaries, and a reduction of the lay Lord, the latter reduction was supported by his predecessor, and who would pro , bably be his successor ; yet the economists supported the Government on this occasion. Sir, I do think 3,5001. a year is a sufficient salary, for the First Lord. I presume when a largo house and a large salary were first granted it was intended to enable the First Lord to entertain naval officers ; but I have not heard much of their hospitalities. I have been 51 years in the service, and have only been three times in the large house, and few of my brother officers have been so for tunate. As to the secretaries, I cannot understand why they should be higher paid than their masters ; yet the Radical and the economical talkers in the House think differently. I was happy to hear the First Lord was in consultation with the Chancellor of the Exchequer to remove the Surveyor's department to Whitehall. How long tho consultation will last I know not, but, as the committee have recommended that two Lords' houses shall be given up, I see no necessity for a consultation, unless it is to remove the whole establishment, and the sooner that is done the better; but the House may rely upon it unless the screw is applied the two Lords wil remain till their successors are appointed. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, CEI ARLES NAPIER. * The flag ships have jury topmasts. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Naval Club of 1765 dined at the Thatched House on Wednesday, the business of the evening being efficiently and agreeably presided over by Captain Wm. Henry Smith. The guest of the club was Sir Henry De la Beebe, of geological fame. The Gallant Chair man was supported by Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Mal colm, Captains Sir Edward Belcher, C. 8., Chappell, Branford, Coghlan, Duthy, Dyer, Fead, Featherstone, Montagu, and several other members of this estimable club. The flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, blue at the fore, was hoisted on board the Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour, at Spithead, on Wednesday evening, at sunset, and at nine o'clock yesterday tho Cumberland saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral the lion. Sir liladen Capel, with seventeen guns, and the Victory returned it with thirteen. Vice-Admiral Sey mour embarked on board yesterday morning, at half past ten, and Lady Seymour and family also went on board, going out in Admiral Capers yacht, the Fanny. The Cumberland will probably sail about Saturday or Sunday. At present the wind is foul. She takes out a few Marines and Marino Artillery to complete the ships on the West India station, and forty supernume rary boys. TRIAL OF THE BIAGICIENNE STEAM-SLOOP.—Accord ing to their Lordships' directions, the Magicienne steam sloop has been further tried as to her sailing qualities, in charge of Mr. Brown, second master-attendant, end commenced on Saturday, the Bth instant, going out in the morning and returning to the Sound in the evening of each day; and from what we hear said of the result, her steaming qualities are very fair. She made ten miles per hour with 81h. pressure, and eight miles with only two boilers; but her sailing qualities are very indifferent, so particularly so that she could not carry her canvas at all, and with a moderate breeza her paddle-wheels are so immersed that there is no doing anything with her. She went up Hamoaze on Wednesday afternoon. Orders have arrived at Portsmouth to fit the iron screw steam-frigate the Simoom as a troop-ship, and the estimate is to be forthwith sent to the Admiralty. She is to have a poop and topgallant forecastle; the latter is to come sufficiently far aft to take her ship's company to mess under. The Rolla, 5, apprentice-brig, Lieutenant. Commander Fenwick, has gone down to Cowes cruising. Petrel, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant Commander Creser, is ordered to be paid off at Devonport. Captain Peter M'Quhis (1835), who formerly com manded the Dmlalus, 19, iu China, has been appointed Commodore of the second class, to relieve Commodore Bennett at Port Royal, Jamaica, as seem' in command at the We,t Indies. Captain MeQuhle is an able, active, zealous, and highly deserving officer, and we are glad to find that so meritorious a selection has been made ny the First Lord of the Admiralty. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Pyrenees, having embarked a gang of convicts from Cowes, returned to the anchorage at Spithea, i lust evening. A court-martial is ordered to bo held on board the Victory on Thursday, to try Commander St. Ledger, the other officers, 21nd ship's company of her Majesty's steam. sloop Flamer, for the loss of that eessel on the - coast of Africa.

"Consider what you venture, weigh discreetly The dangers of your project. Ask yourself If you are steel'd and proof against its perils; Dauntless and daring; if thou fear'st not BEING DONK !" Fiesco, by LADY FLORA HASTINGS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—This week has produced a ooaple of steeplechase capers of the ordinary class, i. e., the horses that could havo won, for the usual golden reasons, have not even started for them; it is, however, a consolation to think that the concoctors of the " cer• tainty" yesterday at Doncaster, by the fall of their horse, made a mull-again of it; Lord Airlie's Chieftain, 5 yrs, 9st 81b, tooled by Harrison, winning is a canter by lengths, aye, by at least two hundred yards. The field he beat was a wretched one, consisting of Quadruded, Hope, Bedford, Standard, Cadely, and Mulligan, the fag-end of the handicap; all the cracks, in cluding Maria Day, Fugitive, Peter Simple, Vain Hope, The British Yeoman, and Victim, were non est. The other caper was at Derby on Tuesday, where the Yeo man, as at Oldham, could have won easily enough, had they started him. By way of showing the ease with which judgment can master the difficulty of selecting the winner, even of a steeple; chase, if the animals are run on their merits, I quote my remarks in Note No. 17 on the Slough Steeplechase, on which, for a very great wonder, there was nothing done on the " squaring prin ciple;" it was all above-board. They were—" As Vola tile's running is not at all certain, he being engaged at Derby to-morrow, I must set his chance aside; but should he run, HE WINS! In his absence, I shall place Kilkenny first and liendsburgh second." The result proved the correctness of my judgment. I accomplished the (in steeple chasing) unparalleled feat of placing the first three, Volatile winning cleverly from Kilkenny, who in his turn beat Rendslaurgh cleverly for second place. In my observations on the Doncaster Spring Meeting, I placed Tallyho first and Psyche second, with the Wharfdale Maid and Little Queen well up, for the Hurdle Race; this position was nearly realized, Psycho winning atter a desperate struggle, in the last stride, by a neck! Tallyho being second, and Wharfdale Maid third; Little Queen was drawn; nothing else near. Time 4 min. 15 sees.—very good. On the Betting-room Stakes, I remarked that Nancy was "considered a certainty; should she miss the mark, Knook Knoll or Paddy Bird will fill the vacuum." Nancy won, with 9st 21b up, in a canter, by two lengths, beating Knook Knoll, Bst 91b, who was second, and seven others. The Sheffield and Rotherham Handicap I did not give a decided opinion upon, merely observing that "if Old Claret or Mr. Merryman, now called The Deceitful, can't win, probably Madame Warton or The Little Fawn can." 1 was entirely out here; the colt by Prince Caradoc, out of Miss Julia Bennett, winning by an easy length; the Deceitfal second, and Little Fawn third. I am now about to touch upon the last hybrid meeting of the Spring, that at Warwick, which commences on Tues day next, with thelattractive Trial Stakes, for which four years old are allowed an entry this year. The nomina tions for this stake number eighteen, and include the names of Aaron Smitb, 3 yrs, ist; Nancy, 3 yrs, 7st; Musician, 4 yrs, Bst 91b; Mark Tapley, 4 yrs, Bst 91b; Le Juif,3 yrs, 7st; besides Gladiola. Truth, Manchester, Recruit, and Knight of the Thistle, all of whom have shown the world the tidy racing qualities they possess; but the race, in my opinion, beyond the shadow of a doubt, will be between the first named quintette, Aaron Smith or Nancy for choice, and notwithstanding the magnificent form of the latter, I feel inclined to place AARON SMITH NANCY is a kind The Willoughby Handicap, gentlemen jocks, of anybody's race, but I understand that mischief is meant i with Agis, 6 yrs, lOst 121 b; Kisssway , 5 y rs, 11)s0tat. o IbA: Reversion, 5 yrs, lOst 41b; Sisyphus , 4 y rs, strong commission was out yesterday in suppo o rt raco of Agis, with whom or Kissaway, I should say, would lay. The most prominent names in the list for he 4 Free Handicap are Woodlark, 5 yrs, 7st 31b; Bullfinc t h, yrs, Est 71b; Swordplayer, 6 yrs, 6.: 41b; Unity, 3 y. a, La and Heart of Oak, 3 yr s, 4dt I Ilb; butlitt le d oubt nau„s on my mind concerning t be result, the last three above, will, I fancy, be the fir , ,t three in the race. The Woodcote Sta'.os, for two-years-old, is a bit of a mystery, all the ar.lnsale are " dark," and from all ac counts not the meat brillia n t lot ima g inable ; I shall go for the Lively nee, and filly by Slane out of Polerint On Viredoeso,ay the performances commence with the Castle Stakes, for which Recruit, Knight of the Thistle, g room] , r,n J Souffle are entered, bat I very mucbldoubt whether a :ace will be the result, the stake being of the value of 3 51. As the names are written down, so they stand in 'ny estimation.

' A MiscREANT.— 'Valium Row, an tr_.llow, was brought before Mr. liardwick charr!.d 4i117. in decently exposing person to 5;?v, , r.%1 young ladies, in Kensingtou-gardcns. Catherine Mitchell, an iatell;gent child, eleven years of age, residing with her parents at No. 4, Hinton street, K?mingcon, deposed, that about six o'clock the previous evening, she, and another young lady named Crosbie, were walking in Kensington-gardens, near the round pond, looking at the ducks; and, on turning round to leave the spot, the saw the prisoner, who was standing about six yards from them, leaning against the railings with his person ex posed. Directly she saw the prisoner she turned round to go away, and having called the attention of her friend to the circumstance, she went to the lodge and informed one of the park keepers of what she had men. Mary Ann Crosbie, 13 years of age, residing at No. 1, Newland street, corroborated the abova evidence. Several other young ladies also proved that the prisoner had acted in a similar manner towards them. - --.—..-. Dunn, one of the /Auk constables, said he took the prisoner into custody at the iostigation of the young la dies. On conveying him to the station he found his dress in great disorder, and his trousers unbuttoned. The prisoner, who most solemnly denied the charge, was committed to the House of Correction -for three mouths, with hard labour. SCREW PROPELLERS. - ----- The advices from the Cape yesterday were very wel come in the City, but the private letters do net express so much confidence in the rapid termination of the war as is conveyed by the newspapers. "It is the opinion here (it is remarked) that the contest will be of some continuance—probably 12 or eighteen months—as Sir Harry Smith has expressed his determination to finish it in such a way as to render it unlikely that the Kafiri; will ever again repeat the attempt." The performance of the Bosphorus, in completing her first voyage, appear to have given satisfaction. On her outward passage she was 40 days, but the delays at the different ports touched at occupied upwards of two days, while the deviations from the direct course consequent upon these calls is es timated at more thaw four days. Sierra Leone was reached in less time than by any other steau,er, and the rate of speed up to that point was 210 miles a day ; but, subsequently, owing to en unlot)ked-for and as it is believed an uxceptioual stare of the trade wind, it did not exceed an average of 177 miles. Tne return passage occupied thirty-eight days (the contract time both ways being thirty-five days), but the excess in this case was caused by the want Warlich's fuel at Sierra Leone, and the bad quality of the coal which was taken in in lieu of it. An error is also stated to have been ascertained in the contract distance from the Cape to Sierra Leone. By the contract it is 2,684 miles instead of 3,160, the difference being equal to 2i days run. This added to three days lost at Sierra Leone, makes five days to be deducted from the total of thirty eight. The new propeller with which the vessel is fitted is said to have acted admirably. It is constructed so that the blades may be placed in a position to offer no resistance whatever to the progress of the ship when under sail alone. There were several opportunities of testing it, and " both by night as well as by day, and in all weathers, the position was changed in a few minutes." A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.—We have seldom to record such a succession of mishaps as has befallen the brig Gipsy, Captain M'Gregor, which sailed from this port for Newfoundland on the 7th of December last, and pu back on Sunday, after having been three months at sea. On the 3d of January she encountered a severe gale, and shipped a very heavy sea, which carried away the band of the forestay, top mast stay, and strap of the jibboom, bringing in tl-e jib boom, damap,ing the boats, and rendering them useless; and washing away the cookhouse and utensils, and carrying the cook, James M'Neil, belonging to Greenock, overboard. About the Ist alt., the Gipsy fell in with a great quantity of ice, when she was about 15 miles to the west of her destined port, and on the 14th, finding it too heavy, and getting slF,rt of provisions, put about for Greenock. On the 20th she car ried away the foreyard, and on the 23d, blowing heavily from the S.W. to N.W., the ship, running under double reefed maintopsail, pooped a heavy sea, which carried away bulwarks, roundhouse, wheel and compasses, and disabled the captain and John Fulton, seaman.— Greenock Advertiser. ANTI-PAPAL AGGRESSION ADDRESSES.—A return has been obtained by Mr. Newdegate, and was issued yes terday, setting forth the number of addresses which have been presented to her Majesty on the recent measures taken by the Pope with regard to this country, whence they ema nated, and the number of signatures to each. The total number of these Leldresses is 3,145, bearing 1,006,70 S signa tures, besides two Roman Catholic addresses expressing loyalty and fidelity, with 255,961 signatures. They are classified according to their origin in the following manner: —archbishops and bishops of the Church of England, 1; archbishops and bishops of the United Church of England and Ireland, 1; deans and chapters of cathedral or collegiate churches, 10; Church of Scotland, mikisterial and elders, I ; clergy of the United Church "of England and Ireland, 89; clergy and others, 880; Wesleyan Committee of Privileges, 1 ; Protestant dissenting ministers of the three dominations, 1 ; universities— viz., Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, and St. Andrew's. 4 ; colleges—Royal College of Physicians, Queen's College, :Birmingham, Sion College, London, the " Redden," York, 4 ; hospitals, 2 ; county meetings, 35 ; other public meetings, 139; corporations, 46; associations or other bodies, 20 ; City of London, 4 ; members of the English bar, 1; at torneys, solicitors, and proctors of England and Wales, 1 ; Isle of Man, 1; Society for Promoting Christian Know ledge, 1. A MONSTER. SEAL.—Several of the fisheries along the coast have of late been much annoyed by the ravages of voracious seals, which appear to make a practice of regularly inspecting the nets, and devouring their contents. With the view of putting a stop to the ravages of these intruders, Messrs. Gray, llutcheson, and Co. bad a net constructed for the capture of seals at their fishery at Woodston, and the re sult has been that they have caught a seal of the following enormous proportions—length, 8 feet; girth, 5% feet; and weight, 36 stones —Aberdeen Herald. ONE FRANC PIECES.—It may not be amiss to cau tion the public to be very careful in taking change, as there is at present a very large number of French and Belgian one franc pieces in circulation throughout the metropolis. They are rather defaced on each aide, and pass easily as a shillin g to those who are not acquainted with the coin, which is only worth Sid. or 9d. As there will be an immense number of foreigners of all nations in this capital during the Great Exhibition of May next, licensed victuallers, inn and coffee house-keepers, and shopkeepers of every description, as well as the public at large, must look before they give and take change, as a large quantity of foreign coin will,undoubtedly be brought over, and tried to be put into circulation, not only in London, but other parts of the United Kingdom. THE CHAPEL ROYAL OF ST. GEORGE, WINDSOR. —On Wednesday last the trials for the situation of lay clerk, vacant by the death of Mr. Francis, took pl a c e i n S. George's Chapel, before the canons and minor canons of Windsor, and nearly the whole of the lay clerks. There were thirteen can didates, from which the following four gentlemen were se lected, viz.: —Mr. Hill, from Westminster Abbey; Mr. Dyson, from Canterbury Cathedral; Mr. Sheard, from the Duke of Buccleuch's private chapel, Dalkeith ; and Mr. Sey mour, from London. Mr. Sheard was ultimately elected. He has a tenor voice of fine quality, is a good sight singer, as well as an admirable solo singer. The talent of the other three gentlemen proved to be of the first order, although all were unanimous is the election of Mr. Sheard. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.—Young Farmer, No. I.—" Well, Charley—have you had much shooting lately ?" Young Farmer, No. 2.—" Why, no; what with hunting two days a-week, and coursing two days, I don't get much time to go out with a gun."—Punch. THE COMMISSARIAT CHEST.--The commissariat chest account for the year 1849-50 has been printed. The cash balance on the 31st of March 1850, was 7e8,293/. The total amount of sums received was 6,657,1931., and the sums disbursed amounted to 5,888,8981.
