Morning .. 44 minute. after 5 Evening .. 8 minutes after 6 THE SUN, LON DON, WEDNES DA I MORN I N(,„ ' occurred to him that the radical vice of these was, that for the very extended frontage of the river terrace they were altogether too small. It never occurred to him that since capacious arches to a capacious bridge thrown over a capacious river are necessary, as well as con venient for an extensive traffic between the Court, end of the metropolis and one of its most important suburbs, and between the frontiers of two metropolitan counties ; therefore it might be of less consequence that his arches should look too small, than that the arches of the bridge should be too small. 2dly, Mr. BARRY proposed, if he could succeed in per suading Parliament to remove the present bridge, to build another, in which he would " reform" the incon gruity of a Roman-like looking approach to a Gothic edifice, by making the arches of the pointed mediaeval style, and keeping down their span to dimensions more approximate to his own loop-hole porches. This was all very pleasant, hut, fortunately, it was too prepos terous for the gullibility of these facile authorities— Commissioners, or howsoever named—who had already permitted him to indulge such extravagant vagaries as the infringing, we know not how many scores of feet , upon the waterway of the river, and the blocking up two arches of the bridge on the Westminster shore. In the same spirit, and with far greater success., he has "re formed," as we have over and again remarked, the de signs he was bound to follow, after being settled and sanctioned by a Committee of Parliament, by adding a new gallery, to the utter spoiling of his own original design, and at a cost of somewhere between 100,0001- and 200,0001. to the public. The Earl of LINCOLN, a reformer of lands as they are, cannot away with commons nor waste lands, nor ,yights of common and manor. He is for inclosing them wherever he can find them—and all, wonderful to state, with no other object than to benefit the poor. He would take from them the power of recreation ar.d healthful amusement—all for their good, poor souls ! He would preclude the toil-worn artisan, the laborious smith, the loom-wearied weaver, from all chance of an occasional revel in fresh air and invigorating exercise, in order to reform their habits of enjoyment, we presume. Yet still, the Noble Lord may err honestly—he may be mistaken. He may purpose disinterestedly that which his reform ing legislation will accomplish oppressively. No such plea surely can Mr. BARRY set up for some of his ca prices. He might as well plead his modesty as his excuse for them. And this brings us back to the paragraph with a notice of which we set Oat. We will repeat it. " WESTMINSTER HALL—Scaffolding has been erected for some time against the gable of this ancient building in Old Palace-yard, for the purpose, it is said, of removing it alto gether ; and, of course, along with it the magnificent gothic window so universally admired." Can this be true, even of Mr. BARRY If it be, may cramp seize his sacrilegious hands who first dares to remove a stone of that venerable gable. Remove that noble window, through whose sculptured casement the light' of nearly eight centuries has streamed into the noblest Hall to be found in Europe, hallowed by all the grandest'associations of the Norman and Saxon Chivalry, which rallied round the peerless model of true Knight hood, the much maligned Rufus. That very window which has witnessed so many regal and baronill ..• pageants, where the elevated dais lain imme diately under it in by-gone ages of fierce wars and faithful loves, " when high-born beauty smiled" on the festal throng of heroes, who had fought at Cressy or a t Agincourt, or on occasions of more masculine and stern solemnity, the aspiring eye of a scion of Lancaster glared defiance through his steel-barred vizor at a son of York— where Plantagenets havejudged, and Tudors have feaster'''. But let Mr. BARRY experimentalise on the patience of the Lords and the Commons,— the forbearance ofthe one and the purse-strings of the other—as long as they will permit him. lie must not be permitted to indulge his Vandalism, his presumption ; and, if this rumour be true, we denounce him for both offences—by the spolia tion of national property invested with a sort of historic holiness. His touch her. is desecration. We protest against it ; and we trust that the public voice will au thoritatively forbid it, and signally indicate its displea sure at such an attempt. If anything were wanting to show the absurdity of appointing theological professors in the colleges about to be established in Ireland, that defect was sup plied by the speeches in the Commons on Monday. The 'advocates for what is called " Godly education," have some vague idea that learning is useless unless religion, or rather peculiar dogmas of certain sects, be inculcated at the same time ; but not one of the speakers could point out any feasible plan for the accomplishment of such a purpose in classes consisting of Catholics, Pro testant Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Wesleyans, and many others which it is needless to enumerate. We certainly expected something from Mr. O'CONNELL to remove the difficulty. He had made long and violent speeches in Ireland agamst the " gigantic scheme of Godless education," concurring almost to the letter with Sir ROBERT INGEis in his de nunciation of the Ministerial plan; but when he comes to England, and is expected to rise in his place in the House of Commons, and make good his accusations—when we expect to hear the two Arcadians, the Catholic and the Protestant, sing together the same strains, and abso lutely annihilate the wicked scheme, and with it the god• less Ministry by their harmonious music—woful is the disappointment. They fall foul of each other at the first onset, and get up a very nice quarrel about one GALILEO, who lived some hundred years ago, and forget, in the heat of the argument, the very feature of the Bill to which they had raised insur mountable objections. This is a forerunner of what might be expected in a college where half a score of religions are to be taught. While professing to seek truth—" in academia qucerere verum"—they would seek only religious qaarrels, and these new schools, instituted for taming the savage mind and in structing youth in the great principles of science and moral philosophy, would become arenas for re ligious battles, and be speedily destroyed by the bigoted combatants. When Mr. O'CONNELL condescended to allude to his objections, he did it in the most cursory and contradictory manner, " I believe," said he, " the English people will not sanc tion the Godless scheme," but does Mr. O'CoNNELE ima gine for a moment that they would sanction his scheme ? Has the furious outcry raised against Maynooth not con vinced him of the fact ? Would English Protestants, and above all, English Dissenters, submit to be taxed for teaching a religion which the more active party among them call " idolatrous and damnable ?" And does he really believe that he can convince these refrac tory religionists of the necessity of such a clause in the Bill, by telling them that the Catholic prelates insist upon it, and that they consider the educational scheme of the Government as dangerous to faith and morality ? On the contrary, he lays before the English public the very strongest objection to the measure, and he knows, or he ought to know, that if Sir R. PEEL had proposed any thing of the kind as a continuation to the Maynooth Bill, he and his party would absolutely have been overwhelmed—buried alive with petitions from all parts of the country. Lord MARoN's scheme is equally preposterous. That Noble Lord proposed that there should be two theolo gical professors in each of the colleges in the Catholic parts of Ireland, and only one—a Presbyterian —for the province of Ulster. But there are vast num bers of Catholics in Ulster. Are their souls to go for nothing ? Are their faith and morality to be undermined to please the fantasies of half-fledged Senators ? Does Lord MAHON believe for a moment that the English people would agree to his scheme fur the south and west, or the Catholic prelates sanction it in Ulster ? Never was there such a wild, unmeaning rage as this about religious education in universities. In the universities of England religion is made a party badge, not a principle of morals or of faith, and in Scotland no religion whatever is taught. And we ask Mr. O'CoNNELL whence is all this new zeal, this new dread for the existence of a faith which he and his friends, the Catholic prelates, believe to be from above and eternal ? We are old enough to remember the time when no such fears existed, when shoals of Irish Catholic students flocked to Edin burgh and Glasgow, listened with filial piety to the lectures, and witnessed the demonstrations of such heretics as MuNno and CULLEN, and HOPE and GREGORY, yet they returned as good Catholics as ever, and helped not a little to disf emi • the duty of men who take a responsibility on themselves, to see that what they have undertaken to perform should be done, if not by themselves, at least by com petent deputies. Who regulates the hours of departure and arrival on the South-Western ? And if they ergage to convey passengers from point to point in a given time, why do they not perform the con•rect ? Are they independent of public opinion for non-per formance of their duty, merely beee.use they fancy individuals cannot cope with a strong Coin pany, having a monopoly of the road ? If they indulge in such delusion, we would warn them not to rely too much or too long on such presumption. With the public, as with individuals, time is money ; and if the South- Western take pay for notperfortning their engagements, they not only wrongfully take the people's money, but their time also. In another column will be found a short letter complaining of a delay of three-quarters of an hour in perfornalt.,?; a journey of only seventy-eight miles, at a time of day the most .important to com mercial men ! Surely the Directors cannot be cognisant of these grievances, and yet we are assured such delays .ire frt•qaent. If this system be long persisted in com petition must step in, and remedy the evil. The:2lladrid Gazette of the 16th contains a dispatch from the Captain-General of Catalonia, announcing that,CAmiEnA, the notorious CarIPA. General, - rn ith his Aide• de-camp, had been seized by the French police, near Narbonne, while attempting to make his escape, in a fishing-boat, to the Spanish coast, in order to raise a rebellion against the existing dynasty. In consequence of this event a circular has been addressed, by order of her MAJESTY, to all the provincial authorities, com manding them to watch the machinations of the enemies of public repose, and to repress their attempts with all the se verity of the law, as being contrary to the lawful rights of the QUEEN and to the Constitution of the State. The Gazette also publishes a royal ordonance, dated Barcelona, the 9th, sactioning a loan of 15 000,000 reals (150,0004 ), for the con struction of public roads. On the 16th the Three per Cents. closed at 31 1 / 2 for cash, and 32 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 22 at 60 days; and the Debt without Interest at 6 13-16 at 60 days. Tire discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies on the state of the navy was continued till the close of the sitting of Saturday, and adjourned till Monday. In the course of the debate the Minister of Marine was repeatedly attacked by Opposition Members for his neglect of the navy. These Members, however, it must be admitted, are Lily supported in their statements by the report of the Committee on the nate knowledge, civilization, and the arta o peace among their more rude countrymen. There is another cause besides religion for objecting to this amalgamation of young men, and Mr. O'CONNELL Marine Budget made to the Chamber. That report represents the navy as of little or no use for practical pur poses in case of a wdr, as will be seen from the following extract :—" In placing underyour eyes the comparative posi tion of the effective force of the navy according to law, and the real effective afloat and in our dockyards, you will be struck, as we were, with the stat,n of our feeble resources fur future events ; that is to say of our ships on the stocks; of the little progress that has been made in their construction, and of the absence of that reserve which had been provided for by the royal ordinance of the Ist of February, 1837. What effect would be produced were we to state in figures the real amount and condition of our ships afloat ? This is a fit time to observe that it is not the quan tity, but the quality, which ought to be sought for ; but we shall not expose the miserable condition of our navy. We appeal to the Ministers, and we call on thoin to hasten the moment when our sailing and steam navy shall have attained its natural peace establishment, regulated by two act s o f t h e Legislature. If th e F renc h nation be satisfied to hold a very inferior rank amongst the maritime nations of the world, let her remain as she is ; but if she wishes to hold the elevated rank which she has ever occupied, let her impose some sacri• tices upon herself, for we declare, with regret, that to remain in our present position would be to condemn ourselves voluu tarily to impotency." If this report is well founded, M. LAcnossE was fully jus tified in making the following motion—" That at the opening of the session of 1846, a speciai and detailed account shall be diet ributed to the Chamber of the naval ccitscrion, the condition of the crews of the line, the ships of the fleet, the stores in the arsenals, and the ships on the stocks." An animated discussion took place on' this motion, and M. BlLLauur gave additional life to it by moving as an ap pendix to it that the return should also show " our means for attacking the neighbouring coast." " The question is," said he," the defence of our own coasts against at tacks from sailing vessels, as well as steam-vessels. It includes also the attack of the neighbouring coasts by the same, means (l'attague des cotes roisznes per les ?noses znoyens). That is what we ought to discuss seriously." The remark was cheered by the Left. Admiral Mackau protested against such a proposition. He could understand what was meant by making preparations for defending the French coast, but he certainly could not comprehend what the Hon. Member meant by matting pre parations fur attacking their neighbours. Sir C. NAPIER'S speeches in Parliament have evidently roused the slumbering spirit ofthe war party. The Committee on the budget of re ceipts had recommended the adoption of a uniform system of postage like that in England. The Finance Minister had announced his intention to take the subject into consi deration for next session. No business was done in the Funds at Tortoni's on Sunday.

The experiment of offering tea at public sale in single chests, so as to enable the retail dealers to buy first hand, was attempted yesterd ay , and will be repeated, although, as usual in these cases, the first step involves loss upon those who take it. The teas offered were not of a character to at tract the more substantial traders, consequently the greater part was taken for exportation, but the system of offering in small lots, being approved of by a large class of town and country b uyers, another sale of a superior class of teas is contemplated, to test the system on a more extended scale. The Pouchong went at 4d r .' the Assam at 3d. to 4d., and the finer sorts at Is. to ls. Id. ; the Hyson Skin at 3d. to 3 %d, Young Hvson at 6d, Pekoe at 5 4sd to 6d, Congou at Ser per Ib, all in bond. These were very favourable terms for the purchasers, and we should think would have the effect of attract ing an increased number, as even if the grocers are so.far under the thumb of the wholesale houses and brokers as not to be able to buy openly, th ey can commission parties. to bid for them, and the publi c w i ll be the gainer by having the article at a lower price, because there will be no middle men to pay. _ . makes no secret of it. He win have no communion with the Saxon race—he will rear up a people that abjure the very name, and establish Ireland as a separate State,and entirely detached from Great Britain, because she is now able to act fur herself. These are all the very best ar guments that could be urged in favour of this " gigantic scheme of Godless educatior." We have on more than one occasion received com plaints as to the slovenly mode in which the business of the South-Western Railway is conducted. Indeed we have been ourselves painful witnesses of its extreme irre gularity as to time, and not unfrequently as to the indif ference of parties who ought to be more civil than common.

THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE DOMAINS OF HIS HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF NASSAU, Declare, by these presents, that being desirous to prevent and put a stop to the numerous falsifications committed in respect to the Waters of Sellers (in England called Seltzer Water), in the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies, which have been made known to them on indisputable evidence, and wishing by every means in their power to secure for the future to the consumers of the Waters of Setters (Seltzer Water) in the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies, the enjoyment of the genuine Water of that Spring, as also of the Springs of Fachingen, Schwalbach, and Welbach, likewise the property of his Highness the Duke of Nassau, they have resolved, from the Ist of January, 1845, to use the Metallic Capsules of Mr. John Thomas Betts, of London, known under the name of "BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULE." as a top covering for all the bottles, both large and small, filled with the said Mineral Waters, for Mr. John Thomas Betts, and intended for the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies. On these Capsules are to be impressed the Arms of Nassau, and under the arms the name of the Water contained in the Bottle, with the words " BETTS, IMPORTER," and " BETTS'S PATENT," aroand. The above named Bottles, capsuled in such a manner, will like wise bear, as heretofore, the usual marks, consisting of a Shield, im pressed on the Bottle, containing the arms of Nassau, or a Crown, under which are the initials and aroand the name of the Mine ral Water contained in the Bottle, and also the usual burnt mark on the lower end of the cork. The General Direction of the Domains further declare by these presents, that they have granted to the said John Thomas Betts, Patentee of the above described Capsules, and to no one else in the Kingdom of Great Britain, its Colonies and Dependencies, the exclu sive right to purchase and export, direct from the Springs, the Waters of Selters, Schwalbach, Fachingen, and Weilbach. They declare further, that the Bottles, after being filled with the respective Mineral Waters, are to be immediately, and in the pre sence of their officers, closed with the above earned Capsules. This present declaration is granted to Mr. John Thomas Betts, with authority to publish the same. Given at Wiesbaden ' this 18th day of December, 1844.

The Earl of CHARLEVILLE informed the House that Lord GARDNER had neglected to attend the Committee on the Glasgow Bridge Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND moved that another Member be appointed in his Lordship's place, and that Lord GARDNER be summoned to attend in his place on Thursday, and state his reasons for his neglect. Lord BROUGHAM said that the attendance of Peers on Committees was compulsory, and that there was an in stance on record in which a Peer bad been fined 1001 for non-attendance on a Committee. After a short discussion, the motion was agreed to. A similar complaint was made of the non-attendance of Lord ORMOND on the Aberdeen Committee. The Noble Lord explained that he was out of town when the notice was left at his house, and did not re ceive it in time to attend. Lord CAMPBELL, after a short explanatory speech, re-introduced the Common Law Process Bills, which were read a first time. Some conversation then ensued on the subject of the treatment of Dr. KALLEI by the Portuguese authorities of Madeira, after which a long discussion arose on the motion for the second reading of the Tenants' Compen sation (Ireland) Bill, which, however, was at length agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned at a quarter past twelve. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. The Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Bill was read a third time and passed, after a short dis cussion. The third reading of the Oxford and Rugby Bill was, after a lengthy discussion, carried by a majority of 37, the numbers being—Ayes, 132 ; Noes, 95. The Deodands' Bill was read a second time. Mr. HUTT then brought forward his motion respecting tho slave trade, and a discussion ensued, which was in terrupted by the House being counted, when, there not being 40 Members present, the debate terminated, and the House adjourned. The two great domestic reformers of our times are neither Father MATTHEW nor ROBERT OWEN, nor Chartist leaders, nor Chairmen of Temperance Socie ties. There is no indispensable necessity for men to drink ardent spirits ; there is no Act of Parliament to compel them to forego their use. Men may pass through existence without once becoming candidates for a right of " common" in New Harmony, or a Lanarkshire parallelogram ; and it is quite pos sible for people to " eat, drink, and be merry," to exercise the rights of freemen, and even: delude themselves into the notion that they are comfortable citi zens, without once informing themselves about the seven po'nts of " the" Charter. Where there is so much indif fe-rence about which of the two alternatives we shall adopt, there is not enough of moral resistance to either, to make a reformer. Reforms exist only in virtue of resistance ; for without this principle what would there be for reform to work upon ? If porters and journeymen give up dram drinking, " by way of a change," it is possible they may derive so much comfort from the experiment as habitually to persevere in the practice. A reform in the habit of dram drinking, generally to make itself felt, sensible, obnoxious, must operate upon a sort of league among a large community of the public to drink the greatest possible amount of drams in the most public manner possible. The venerable Father MATHEW himself cannot reach the vice he would put down, so long as it is diffused tbrnigh five hundred thousand private channels without being concentrated in any. Now, unhappily, lands and edifices which do not happen to be in that state of improve ment that comes up to certain arbitrary standards, pro. posed by certain arbitrary authorities, are immobilia, which are always present and ready objects for the re forming operation. They cannot run away from the process. They can exercise no option whether they will be repressed, the one by fencing, cultivation, and drainage, the other by quaint devices, decoration, pull ing down on one side and building up on the other. Now, in respect of these two great elements of social property, your most untameable reformers are certainly Mr. BA RRY and the Earl of LINCOLN. In our morning impression of M on d ay we published an announcement which has not yet received any contradiction, and to which we think ourselves bound to refer. Most of our opo readers will rem em b er Mr. BARRY'S modest pio for the reform of We s t m i nster -bridge, in order to t ae n com pli 4 ,l 2 two objects, or rather to reform two defects. Mr. BARRY found that the span of the arches of the existing bridge w „ ther too large, for the effect of the diminutive arches of his own new Souses of Parliament, ,„„, jpNE 25, 1N45.

Luke James Hansard, Esq., was unani. mously voted to the chair; and after addressing the meeting, called on the Secretary to read the report of the Committee. It appeared that the affairs of the institution were in a satisfactory state, and that the object the Committee wished to see accom plished would at so distant day be realized. It was urged as an objection to the fund, that it traded to impair the parent Associa tion, the Printers' Pension Society, but the Committee considered that objection groundless, the receipts of the latter being greatly in creased during the List f,tur years. In order to obtain a larger amount of interest for the funded property, and to guard against any contingencies that might occur, it hail been deemed advisable to enrol th. it,ti!uti4ioo, lie amount 0? .. since the 1 ist annual meeting was 3551., making, with the sum previously in hard, a total of 1,4651. The announcement made in the report that Luke James Hansard, Esq , had presented 501., Mr. Clowes 211., and that many of the large printing-offices had subscribed liberally, was received with much applause. On the motion of Mr. Lee the report was adopted ; after which several resolutions were passed, one of which was to memorialize the Sta. tioners' Company for a grant of money. The meeting then voted thanks to the Chairman and broke up. SALE OF THE NAP , )LEON MUSEUM.—On Monday the sale of the first portion of the collection known as the Napoleon Musem, was commenced by Messrs. Christie and Manson, at the Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly. Mr. Christie, the auctioneer, said that although Mr. Sainsbury had expended literally a fortune in getting this important and interesting collection together, there was no reservation. The sale of this portion will last four days. Yester day the number of lots disposed of was 112, but the prices they fetched were about one-fourth their real value. Among the bronzes an infantine bust of the King of Rome, by Jeannett, formerly in the possession of Josephine at Malrnaison, for which Mr. Sainsbury gave twenty guineas, was knocked down for 11. 10s. The original eagle belonging to the Imperial Guard, and used at the Adieu de Fontainebleau, 31. 17s. This was oleo bought at Mr. Hamlet's sale at a cast of 15 guineas. A silver plate with the Imperial arms on the border, used by Napoleon at St. Helena, and brought from there by Count de las Cases, 31 In addition to the above, there were sold 20 beautiful enamels by Lienard, of Napoleon, Marshal Ney, Berthier, Junot, Joseph Buonaparte Lucien, Louis, and Jerome Buonaparte, Murat, Caroline, youngest sister of Napoleon, Cardinal Pesch, Marie Louise, &c., which cost Mr. Sainsbury 400 guineas, the amount they realised being but 761 Among the orders sold, one of the Order of the Iron Crovn of Italy, presented by Napoleon to Marshal Ney, sold for 21. 4s.

Be had contracted debts to about 2,0001. His wife, having an income of 8001. per annum, an offer was made to pay 175/. a year, which was acceded to by all the creditors except one, of the name of Bailey, on whose behalf it was urged that he contracted debts without reasonable expectation of paying them, and after their contraction had accepted accommodation bills. The Court, however, granted the final order upon the terms proposed. C 1111,DR FN S 11Y tlt PARI-iNTri FOR ‘‘ ANT or FOOD.—The Buda.Prsii Herald°, a Hungarian paper, states that the emigrants travelling through Peath from the Upper Coml_ tale, where famine prevails to a great extent, have there established a regular slave market. Girls (their own children) are sold at the age of from eight to nine for five florins (Bs. 6d.1)„ and boys of the same agc from 10 to 20 kreutserr. A person offered three zwanziger for one boy, and while the parents were rejoicing at getting so good a price, the poor little fcliow clasped his mother's knees, and implored her not to send him away, and saying he would n it ask her for bread again, if she would only keep tom.

Mr. MI-on was in excellent voice, and sung the several songs with great feeling: and animation, calting forth repeated bursts of applause, and several encores, among which were, " Cam ye by Atholl," "Johnnie Cope," " There were twa bonny Maidens,"and " Allister McAllister." What added to the eff .et of tilt. entertainment on this occasion, and in excellent keeping with the object in view—the representation, through the medium of song. of high courage, resolution, and devoted attachment of th,-, people of So - yland to the cause of the House of Stuart—was the attend:tnee of the boys of the Caledonian Asylum, in full Highland costume, who excited general admiration f•r the striking and picturesque illustration they afii)rded of " Garb of old Gaul," and of the time when the " Heather was on fire," and the mountain glens ,u the far north poured forth their dev,.ted thousands to rally round the -tandard of the "Young Che=aper." Mr. Wilson, we perceive, is t.l repeat the " Adventures of Prince Charles" on Monday next. MUSIC. SONGS IN THE ENCHANTRESS. " She is seen where the vapours of morn arise." " When S !UM bees pinions o'er ma pl , y."—" Oh, hither plume thy wing."—" She , loves him."—" Woman's heart "—" The you eg Nadir."—"Th love almost sub.. lime I l'elt."

THEY LED HER FROM THE COTT4GE HOME. Words by Miss Cushman. Music by Mr. H. J. St. Leger. A song from the pen of the greatest living tragic actress is a literary curiosity. This exquisite little lyric proves that Mi-s Cushman's poetical powers are of a very high order. The sentiment is very beautiful, and has been beautifully expressed by Mr. St. Leger in the tasteful melody to which he has adapted words. THE NEW REDO WA POLKA, as danced at the Princess's Theatre by Mr. and Miss Marshall. composed by Carlo Minasi. This is one of the most agreeable of the many Polkas with which we have of late been inundated, and, unlike many of its rivals, its merits will probably cause it to outlive the present Polkamania. We hope frequently to meet Signor Minasi as a composer. PUBLIC PROMENADES BY THE RIVER THAMES. The elegant and magnificent conceptions of Martin, which about twenty p-ars ago elicited the tvimirstian of peers and patriots, prelates and philosophers, are about being realised by a Joint-Stock Company. A noble esplanade for public promenades is promised on the north bank of the River Thames, and a Moc'rsom—not a Martin—is the man to d, it. Many i‘linist..rs have talked about it, but none hue attempted it. I'he object has often been declared a great desideratum for this mighty metropolis, but—" where was the cash to come fro:u ?" The " ignorant impatience of taxation " frightened many a willing Premier, and was pleaded by many an unwilling Chancellor of the Exchequer. A Joint-Stock Company is to effect this great work " for a consideration " The p..:et sing a— " Self-love when pusli'd to social is divine;" and though public companies may be said, in the 18n guage of a popular orator, to have "no hearts and cannot feel," it must not be added th:,t they have "no heads and cannot think." The promoters of this Cote pany have thought.; and, with 5 percent. compound in terest for the cost of the Promenade above, and indefi nite profits for .the Railway below, there is now little doubt that another " lung" will shortly be given to Lon don.—Globe.

'IRE LATE THOst.AS HOOD.—We are glad tr , ob serve that the example of Manchester, in starting a local suta,crip tion in aid of the Hood Fund, is beisig , *ollo wed in other large towns, and that the provincial journals are beginning to call public attention in their respective districts to this excel. lent object. A paragraph in the Bath chronicle of Thurs. day last announces the opening of a subscription in that city and its neighbourhood ; the result of which will, we doubt not, be such as to place I3ath on a line with Manchester for liberality, and for an intelligent appreciation of literary genius. These unsolicited efforts on heh,,lf of the deceas,cl p set's occurring spontaneously in districts so widely remote, and among classes of such diverse interests and pursuits, bear witness to the general estimation in which Mr. ve , satile rowers were held ; artsi give ir 'if a natit , nai character to the denionttritten now ruukii.g in his honour. PLYMOUTH, JU 20.—The (;re r Brita;r; its i. steamship trade an excursion round the Eddystone this morning. She left Millbay pier, the tide half ebb, at a quarter to nine o'clock, and arrived at the Eddystone at five rtnnutes after ten o'clock There were about 500 passengers on hoard. Tickets, ss. On returning the ship was several times suddenly stopped, owing to the heated state of some parts of the main bearings o: her im. meuse engines. There was no wind, th? sea smooth, and the weather warm, the thermometer being seventy in the shade. On the occurrence of these stoppages the machinery was allowed to cool, and when again put in motion, plentifully supplied with water poured from a hose-pipe. The machinery of all new engines is liable to this casualty. It may he recollected that when her Ma jesty's steamer Penelope made her first trip down channel, her paddle boxes became ignited from the same cause. On entering the Sound, while under way, Captain Hosken had the helm put hard a-port, and turned the immense ship completely rcand in about six minutes, and then, by reversing the srietv, Si.r worked astern, and having stopped her way, turned her rcur.d in a circle, the diameter of which scarcely exceeded her own length. Her passengers, and the spectators crowded on the hi !gilts ashore, appeared highly gratified by these evolutlons, wijch furnished undeniable evidence of one of the numerous advan tages derivable from this method of propulsion. At twelve o'clock she landed her passengers at the pier, arid in the afternoon departed for Dublin. The visit of the Great Bri.tain steam-ship to Plymouth has fully proved the utility of the Millbay Pier, recently constructed by Mr. T. Gill, M.P. During the stay of that immense vessel, from the 14th to the 20th in3tatit, abs ut 15,000 persons have been on board, without accident, and although 322 fret long, and drawing 16 feet when loaded, she lay as si curely alongside as if she had been in the London Docks. Within tour years upwards of 100.000 tons of rough stone, 37..)00 feet cf wrought stone, and 1,000 loads of timber, have been deposited here ; and through the perseverance of a gentleman, single. handed, and at an expenditure approaching 30,0001., a pier has been constructed capable of accommodating the longest ship In the world. SPORTING. AT PAR IS.— ALLEG ED FORGERY 11 HIGII LIFE.—A circumstance has just occurred which has caused the greatest astonishment in the upper circles of Paris. Prince de B—, twenty-two years of age, married, about eleven months back, to the daughter of a a rich banker, was arrested on Thursday, and committed to prison, on a charge of forgery, committed under the following circumstances :—Tbe Jockey Club, in order to facilitate the payments of racing and of her debts, have beets in the habit of using counters made of ivory, stained red, bearing the year on one side and the signature of the secretary on the other, each represent. ing 100 f. Some time back, Prince do B—, who is not a member of the club, handed over to his brother. in-law, also a banker, ten of these counters, and asked him to give him cash for them. This was done, and the bank, r sent them its the course of business to the club, where nine were declared to :.e (org-rice. The secre tary immediately proceeded to the hanker's, and the Prince was sent for. He declared unhesitatingly that he had received them at the races of Chantilly, its payment o: a bet, from a person on the course, whose name he believed to be Zartatti, an Italian, whose address he die not know A comteaint was lodged before 111 Juge d'lns'ruction, who at once instituted inquiries, and sue. ceeded in discovering the man who had made the vaunters This person declared he had received the order for them from a young man whom he had seen only twice-, and whose person he could not well describe. He delivered them, he said, as he would prove by his books, on May 24. This deposition was in fiat contradic. tion with the account of Prince de B-----, W h o h ad fixed May 18 as the day on which lie received them at bin these gesit s emt n d, toed in Chnntily. The Prince then fie Cared that th ey h ad been landed ; truth of t/. is allegat ion.

The Prince then burst into tears, and avowed that it was he who had himself circulated the twenty five counters, twenty-two of which have come into the club. He was at once committed to prison for forgery.
