Queen's birthday was cele bratedwf tb itha e degree of loyalty which c ou ld o anniversary s at urday o not fail to attract the observation of the foreigners now Tbe n residing in the metropolis. It was a beautiful burst of affection that burned all• the more brilliantly because of its spontaneity, and it must have left a deep itnpression upon the minds of men, strangers to the relations of kindness that subsist between her Majesty and the peo ple, to witness the happiness of all at the return of their Queen's birthday. The aspect of the town in the evening was, if possible, more indicative of the affection entertained by the pel ple of this country •for their Queen than it was in the day. Countless illuminations lit up the streets in every direction; and the whole tide of human. life, "in popu lous city pent" during the forenoon, poured in a deep unbroken stream through the great thoroughfares until long put midnight. One and all mentioned her name with pleasure ; and when i n th e var i ous t h eatres t h e "pealing antem swelled the note of praise" at the close of the several perform a nc es , th e au di ences , one an d a ll, hailed 5t with acclamation. That this good under.tand ' leg, which is the basis of all real political power, pally long subsist between the Qieen and her people, must be the alien; wish of every patriot, as well as every lover of hutuanitY. BANQUETS IN ut.LbtsttA LION OF THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.

THE SUN, THE ILLUMINATIONS. The illuminations on Saturday night in honour of her Majes4'a birthday were more than usually brilliant, and mpre houses than on previous anniversaries of the same tivent were decorated with devices and letters in variegFed lamps and gas. The clubhouses at the west end WI the town presented a blaze of light; the theatres were very tastefully illuminated, the Polytechnic Insti tution,] the Colosseum, the Gallery of Illustration, Re gent-street, bad each their respective mottoes, stars, and allegoical representations. The tradesmen of her Ma jesty also displayed their loyalty in the brilliancy of their devices, and altogether the scene was very brilliant. The streets were crowded with people viewing the spec tacle f'pr several hours, the concourse of carriages and the raolzrof pedestrians in some localities almost blocking up the' way; order was, however, well preserved, and it does npt appear that any accidents wore occasioned by the pressure. THE RIOT AT TAMWORTH. LETTER OF SIR ROBERT PEEL. Sir Robert Peel has addressed the following letter to the Times on the subject of the late riot at Tamworth:— " TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. " Sir,—May I be permitted, through the medium of the Times, to thank the constituency, which, together with Captain Townshend, I have the honour of repre senting in Parliament, and, as a son of the late Sir Robert Peel, for the spontaneous bu rs t o f i n di gnat i on which greeted those musty pilgrims of protection who on Wednesday evening last sought in the Town-hall of Tamworth a but deceitful refuge for the enjoyment of festivity and lamentation and abuse? It is, indeed, a source of congratulation to me that 'no mawkish sen sibility' should have silenced the inhabitants of the borough and neighbourhood into apathy and indiffe rence, or restrained them from giving vent to their feelings in resenting an insult upon the memory of one whose reputation, while it ennobles their political an tecedents, is so incontestably endeared to their recol lection. "It is not surprising, although perhaps satisfactory, that popular- indignation knew bow to contain itself even in the moment of bitterest exasperation, and that so much leniency should have been shown to the stran gers, who, for the gratification of their animosity, and with the view of giving greater point to their vitupera tion and slander, thought proper to select Tamworth, the hall where yet echoes the scarce inanimate voice of the departed dead, and within a few yards of the very spot which is to be consecrated to his memory, in the vain hope of seducing a contented district into the belief of imaginary ills, through their insane exhibition? taken ted : d 1 trust most earnestly, that should a repetition be and tis i a f anent excesses) on any future occasion, precautions may be miserable bY possible, fur preventing the effusions of blood, the binding over to keep the peace of such have to I which, .

I remain, ' Sir, with much respect, your r °her ..ient sHrvant, " ROBERT PEEL. ~s ouse of Commons, Friday, M a y so," THE PARSON AND THE EGG --- -e heard a curious who was the creditor of a farmer teorgtYbinaann%nolanrt story the other day, of a careful ci pence for church dues. Finding the n l e o P o l f y fi m i o te u e t n b : 0 7 was not readily f fi o)rr th w c h o i m eh ing b , e he w e a n s ga t g o ed al t lo o w bu t y on a p h en e c u e. aetstaaannfoewrl , Bbweiinfe,g handed to him, he expressed a hope that it was a when the woman delared that it was, a nd that the ° r lay b e a r d laid an egg that morning. " In that case, " said the ru divine, " I am entitled to t wo p ence more, for I bought that fowl yesterday, and consequently the egg was mine, and you must pay me for it." What was the poor woman to say? As an honest woman, desirous of acting up to the injunction which her minister had taught her, of rendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, she made the allowance which the parson demanded, and told the story to her friends, one of whom duly communicated it to us, and we pass it on. There is no doubt of its being perfectly true.—Plymouth Journal. FOREIGN MAILS.—The foreign mails which have and above ae c r n nw s a i t ei s h i i t . g e e h d h t . li o f h been dispatched this month are the heaviest ever known, n East India mail made up in the General Post-office, last h swu u ee n ehk d r , mails is the immeaneshe n eTs e th a rl y number ilfty boofx boxedes of ever di correspond ence dispatched d over par ticulars of the Great Exhibition, wbeerigohfe n c w l eh a w b ies o t n a t apree th rs r n e c e oown q t u abe a in r i t in a ng r g s pse o a f nr : The cause of the heaviness of the foreign he n: abroad. LON DON, MONDAY ,EVENING, JUNE 2, 1851. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (Froin the United Service Gazette) TEE WAR MEDAL —His Grace the Commander-in- Chief has extended the period for the reception and in vestigation of claims to the war medal to the end of June; such claims are to be forwarded immediately to the Board of General Officers, Whitehall, as no further extension of time will possibly take place. TROOPS FOR INDlA.—Although the Government are well aware that Sir Harry Smith is placed at the Cape of Good Hope in great difficulty, and much inconvenienced in his movements by the want of a sufficient body of troops, it can scarcely be believed, that the detachments for regiments in India, consisting of 250 men, which are ordered to embark on the 14th proximo, have been di rected to proceed straight to Calcutta, instead of stop ping at the Cape to ascertain if their services would be required: if this were done, it might possibly s ave th e necessity of sending another Infantry Corps to that colony, and their presence be of essential use to the General in repulsing the Kafirs. ROYAL ENGINEERS AT PORTSMOUTII.—CoIoneI Sir Frederick Smith, K.H., joined at Portsmouth on the 24th inst., in succession to Colonel Lewis, to assume the responsible duties of chief engineer in the south western district. SOUTH-WEST DISTRICT.—Orders have been promul gated to the regiment of this district, granting leave of absence to a third of the officers for three weeks, to visit the Great Exhibition. It is rumoured that Lieutenant-Colonel Thorpe, 44th Regiment, will be tr ans f erre d to t h e 25t h R eg i ment, vice Lieutenant-Colonel Young, appointed Fort Major at Inverness. RETIREMENT FROM THE 12TH LANCERS.—We un derstand that Lieutenant-Colonel Pule, who had sent in his papers for permission to retire from the service, has withdrawn them, and will embark with the Regiment; but, we expect, will eventually return home for the pur pose of quitting the army. STAFF.—Lieutenant-Colonel Young, of the 25th Re giment, has been appointed Fort Major at Inverness, vice Colonel Findlay. K.H., deceased. LIMERICK GARRISON.—The Board of Ordnance are in treaty with the Cemissioners of Woods and Forests for the transfer of King'sisland at Limerick, for the purpose of building a magazine and barracks, and for a drill ground for the use of the garrison, instead of the exercise field at Newcastle. NATAL °menus' LC/Gal.—The Admiralty have issued orders to the effect that in future they shall not require officers to transmit their logs periodically for the in spection of their Lordships. Each officer, however, is to keep a perfect log, and -it to subniit it at the stated times to the inspection of his captain or commander. We regret to hear that Major Halkett, of the 4th Light Dragoons, is sufDring from .severe indisporition. THE ROYAL MARINES FROM- PEMBRAIE.— the De tachment recently stationed at Pemtir , lte Dock, under Lieutenant-Colonel Ellis. C. 8., with 2 captains, 5 .cbalterns, 11 sergeants, 13 corporals, 4 drummers, 199 privates and gunners, has been withdrawn from that station, and rejoined divisional headquarters, per Styx steatt.ar, The duty is now performed by a de acbment of the 82d R. gimenr. Mr. W. H. Churchward, director of Works Depart ment in her Alaj.sty's Dockyard, Devonp•trt. has been elected au associate of the Civil Engineers' Institution. lie bad the honour of being proposed and supported by two of the first civil engineers of the present day— Messrs. Walker aud Rendel. RECRUITING DEPARTMENT —Lieutenant and Adju tant Dagg of the Cork District, is on leave of absence. In consequence of the continued and severe indisposi tion of Lady Harris, his Excellency the Governor of rri nidad is about to leave that colony for England in the course of the ensuing month. Lieutenant-Colonel Ward. Royal Engineers, at present stationed at Bardadoes, will proceed to Trinidad and administer the government dur ing the temporary absence of his Lordship. MINING INTELLIGENCE, (From the Mining Journal.) The predominant feature of the market is flatness doubtless caused mainly by the depressed state of rail way stock and tightness in the money market, which never fails to exercise its influence on all speculative business. Even for the best dividend mines sellers are more plentiful than buyers, but yet the business trans acted has been again on a reduced scale. When we con sider, however, the large amounts which have been ex pended during the last two months, on totally worthless concerns, it is not surprising that a check should be given to our market by that cause alone, an evil at the same time conservative in its effects, and which time will modify.

The Moniteur has the following important account of the expedition against the Kaby lea :-- " The last news from Algeria informs us that the expedition against Little Kabylia has been accom plished just as we had a right to expect from the energy of our army and the skill of tne officers itt command of it. Frord the Ilth to the 21st, the thy to which our dates come down, there had been several en gagements. On the 11th, General Saint Arnaud, it, his adveace, found three beiehts by which he had to pass strongly fortified by the Kebytes, who had thrown up entrenchments of stone, and which were defended by 4 000 men. It was necessary in order to dislodge the eosin) from their position to mike a considerable circuit over very bad ground, and under a heavy fire. General Saint Arnaud formed his force into three columns, eece coasisting of three battalions, with two mortars. The co luron on the left, commanded by Gee. Lev. was composer; of two battalions of the 20th, come native rdl-men and 66 cavalry, under the orders of Commandant Fournier. The right column, under the command of General Bosquet, was composed of a battalion of laraves, another of the Bth of the line, and a third of Light lefentry of Africa, supported by 70 cavalry under Colonel Bous elfin. The centre column was under the command ot Lieutenant-Colonel Espinasse, and formed of three bat talions. The division started at daybreak. At sevei o'clock the village of Kasen was carried at the point of the bayonet by the native infantry. At nine o'clock the three columns had driven the enemy from all his positions. While General Luzy, seconded by Col onel Marulsz, attacked the position in front with the b.iyonet, Commandant Bataille and the native rifle men attacked the left, and threw the enemy into disorder. Commandant Feurnier arrived with his cavalry on the summit of the hill at the same time es the infantry, and the combat became very severe. Commandant Valioon was killed, and Captain Fan con, of the 20th of the lire, and Captain Jollivet, of the Rifles, were both wounded. General Bosquet on the right, had his shoulder grazed by a ball ; but he did not stop, and reached the heights with his Z )uaves. The column, under the command of Colonel Espinasse, reached the top of the heights at the same time as the other columns. In this action of the 11th, the ex peditionary column had 11 killed and 81 wounded. The whole of the 12th was a series of combats, in which the enemy alone met any serious loss. On the 13th and 14th our troops had to perform a difficult and perilous march. The road was through a wooded country, on the tide. of mountains, where the enemy had positions which had to bo successively carried. Two companies of the 10th of the line suffered heavy losses on the 13th. Full of ardour, but inexperienced in a kind of warfare which they now were engaged in for the first time, they allowed themselves to be surrounded by eaensie, who advanced under cover of the wood, and lost a number of their men. They were at length relieveo by a battalion of the 9th. On the 14th the enemy made an attack, but were defeated with great loss by the Z _waves, under Commandant Laure, and the Thad leurs under Commandant Bataill,, and compelled to re. ere, leaving a number of dead in the ravines. On the 15th Colonel illartilez penetrated into the mountain, and severely punished the Kabyles, who had disturbed our progress. On the 18th our column bivouacked before Djijelli, without having any further en• eagements. The rear guard, which was formed of two companies of the foreign legion, under the orders of Commandant Mayer, acted with great energy and skill. In a word, it may be said that from Fedi- Beinetn to Djijelli the march of our army was a series of vigorous and successful acions. The troops arrived full of confi dence at the place where they expected a few days' repose. On the 19th General Arnaud left Djijelli and on the very day had an engagement a which our troops gained a signal advantage wit( but a trifling loss. At noon General Saint Armin, established his position in the centre of the Beni-Amt ran, having the Beni-Ahroet upon his right, and th, Beiri-Ktitel on his left, he formed his division into three columns, each composed oh two battalions in ligh marching order, and commanded one by .himself, a e o the two others by Generals Luzy and Bosquet. His object was to drive the enemy, who were posted in considerable forces on the heights %which cos mended the camp. Our infantry were irresistible, and when they had driven the Kabyles at the point of the bayonet from their position, they were attacked b, the cavalry, who completed their route. The enemy who were in number ebout 2 000, left 120 dead on th. field; our loss was only 2 killed and 31 wounded. 0. the 20th a still more imp 'rtant action was fought General Saint Arnaud left his camp at eleven o'clock with eight battalions, four mortars, and all his cavalry. Alter having on the previous day cleared the height which commanded his flanks, he proceeded ti ettack the positions which the Kabyles neon pied in fron of him at about a league distance. The enemy were ranged along the crest of a wooded bill, having on their Lift a deep ravine, and on their right a wide plain. General Saint Arnaud sent his cavalry into the plain while the infantry ascended the hill and attackea the Kabyles on all sides, and on their des cending the hill they were attack ed by the cavalry, who thus cut off their retreat. Mcd .e than 1,200 Kabyles threw themselves into the ravine on their left under the fire of three of our battalions, an d left 330 of their men dead on the field. Our victory was complete In the evening of that day the camp. of General Saint Arnaud was full of arms and buritious brought in as trophies by our soldiers. Three great frac tions of the Beni-Atnran, the Achaib, the Ouled- Bonira and the Oiled Bon-Achair have made their submission. The Beni-Ahmet have demanded the Aman. It may, therefore, be said that at the date of the 20th ot' May moat important results have been already obtained by our expedition - Djijelli has been released from the kind of blockades which had been established around it by the Kaby i les, and wilt soon see its markets open to our commerce. We are assured that the great confederations of . Cattle Kabylia begin to be dissolved. The conduct of the Kabyle tribes in the neighbourhood of Bought shows th e effect which our successes have already had. We learn that these tribes have already driven away the fats e Cherif 800 Basle, and that their most important chief; have already demanded pardon from us. The necessity of the expe dition is shown by the resistance which it met with. The fanatic people of that country required the lesson which they have received. Every one who knows Algeria will be aware of the danger whic'li would arise from the moment when the tribes should fancy that they could keep in check the authority of Frausce." SEABORNE MAILS.

No diminution, however, seems to have been made as yet in their numbers, and the reports from the ships en gaged in the early spring sealing are again very favourable. One of the Peterhead ships has brought not fewer than 16,000 seals, likely to yield 207 tons, at a value of 8,000/. ! Another ship brought 9,500, a third has 9,000 and the other ships are well fished. It i s a f act t h at t h e cargoes t h us o b tained at the mere cost of capturing them exceed in value the full worth of the chips which bring them over, when fitted out for sea and with all their stores on board. Why do our shipowners not venture a little in this trade ? is worth a trial. and t o th e sa il ors emp l oye d t h ere i s a s pecies of wild excitement in a sealing cruise which must be attractive to a hardy nature, for th e on ly m od e of catching the cargo is the old rough-and-tumble method of knocking the poca on the t head. The Fraserburgh merchants and shipowners, e P r et e rd tempted by the golden gains o f their shrewder neighbours of t Peter head, are now forming a joint-stock company for prosecuting this branch of trade, and the stock seems to be in demand.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 31. -The Corn Exchange on Friday Wag pretty well attended by millers and dealers. Fresh qualities , of wheat w ere i n f a i r requesr, and commanded fully T ues d ay prices. French sack flour was dull of sale ; the chief attention this week has been directed to the secondary qualities of Ame rican and Canadian flour, of which several thousand barrels changeei hands the last two or three days, at 18s 94 to 198 per barrel; yesterday there was none good and sound to be had uneer 193 64 to .?( s. Oats scarcely supported the rates of Tuesday, but oatmeal was no easier. Barley, beans, and peal in small supply, and each quite as dear. Indian corn was in less request, and prices weaker ; the sales of best American yellow were at 30s to 30s 6d per 4801 b. We have a change to milder weather to-day. Prices stand unaltered, with a moderate demand for consumption. MANCHESTER, MAY 31. Without anything approaching to activity, the trade throughout the week has been of a steady consumdtive character, ae•d previous prices were well main tained for all articles except oats, which were somewhat easier.' to purchase. With the exception of a further fair supply Of oats from Ireland, the imports of English and Irish produce into Liverpool and Runcorn are most trifling, seed from abroad the chief arrivals are of Indian corn, those of wheat and flour being only to a very moderate . amount. At our market this morning wheat fully supported the currency of this day see night. Of choice fresh-wade English flour the quantil offer ing was small, and in the business passing extreme rates were realized for such ; United States and Canadian commanded fair share of attention, and any change in prices was in favour of sellers, whilst French moved off slowly, but could not be obtained on lower terms. Oats must be noted the turn lower; but oatmeal, although in limited request, was not any cheaper. NOTTINGHAM, MAY 31 -Farmers are now 01300115 1 Y looking out for rain, but hitherto the crops have not suffered much injury for want of it, even in the light sandy district round Mansfield. There was a small supply of wheat from the growers to-day, and last week's prices were fully supported, but the business done was not large. Beans were Is per qua:" ter dearer. Oats maintained their previous value.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MAY 29.-At our market to day the numbers were-Oxen, 5 4 ; sheep, 406 ; lambs, 468., Owing to the short supply o f catt l e, and a great number of customers at the market from the surrounding villages, sales - were very brisk, with an upward tendency.

CORK, MAY 30. The supplies of home grain continue small to fall off. The receipts for the week are only-:.WLeat, 110 barrels ; barleV 102 barrels; oats, 465 barrels. There is no a l terat i on in value. In prime oreign wheat we have had a rather less active business passing, but Egyptian and other inferior de. scriptions continue to meet a free sale at last week's 'a,dvance. There is no barley offering. Oats, the stocks of which are rapidly running low, are in good demand at an improvement of 3d to 6d per barrel. We quote the value of white,. 115'9d to 12s; of black, lOs 9d to Ila per barrel, free on board. In fine flour a large consumption is going on, and there is a L s t ea d y sale in the article for im me di ate uses, and at late rates. Coarser descriptions continue to sell very freely. The business passing in Indian corn is rather restricted, and, although we cannot quote any alteration in prices, the market, as regairds this article, is quiet. The general mercantile trade of the city is far from brisk, but we look forward to its receiving a ' favour able impetus should the favourable anticipations, respecting 'the coming harvest, be realised.

Kennard, M.A. MR. THACKERAY S SECOND LECTURE. S ill grt-ater numbers of the world of literature and fashion crowded to Mr. Thackeray's second lecture on Thursday. The subjecta chosen were Congreve and Addison. The former was a character almost made for the pencil of the author of " Vanity Fair." Congreve was a disciple of foppery and fun, dissipation and art; a fine gentleman, with fine parts; and, to crown all, pas sing worthless. The opening was quite in the old characteristic style. We are reminded how, just before the Reform Bill, the young gentlemen of the "U n i on ," at Cambridge, were of opinion that great noblemen who owned boroughs s 4 always had their eye on the club as a place • to get politicians from; how Jones, of John's, &c., supported our sacred institutions, or denounced isK priestcrafr, with that idea always present to . them. This introduced the mention of the large crop of places given to literary men in Addison and Coe : greve's time; how a neat copy of Latin verses, or a happy " ode" on a public event, made a young colle gian's fortune. Congreve was then formally introduced as an example of extreme literary prosperity; how everything went well with him; how he was beau, wit, • and lover—ambrosial, irresistible, magnificent. He was described as a delightful rascal; as a gay disciple of the " eat-and-drink-for to-morrow-we-die" school. As for . his comedy, that Mr. Thackeray characterised as essen tially pagan or heathen. He illustrated the effect pro duced by an examination of it, now-a-days, by a sin gularly happy metaphor—it was like visiting Pompeii, and seeing Sidlust's house there, in the ruins. The Ice cake and wine in the jars. The jester's laughing skull—the breast of a dancing girl. The charred ban quet table. He pointed out with a sad ridicule its im f morality—the father treated as a dotard—the husband 1 4 as a victim. He exposed in a style at once mournful % and quizzical the hollowness of a gaiety that had no . love in it, and produced the happiest t ff. ct by in terspersing earnest reprobation of the system with laughter at what was superficially absurd in it; for in , stance when making out our co m i c wr i ter something i% very like a scoundrel, be jested at his conceit, and dui not even spare bis wig. Hence this part of his discourse twas like a sermon where you saw the sinner—not only as sinner but as the individual of every day life. And you were reminded at last that Congreve left his money, ' not to Mrs. Bracegirdle, who did want it, but to the 1 /6 great lady, who did not want it at all. % Addison is obviously one of Mr. Thackeray's greatest favoiritts. He sketched his life throughout, dwelling on its notable incidents with a pleasant commentary, the charm of which consisted in this—that it was always social and familiar, treating Addison as Addi -14 son himself treats Sir Roger de Coverley, with ,% a philosophical familiarity. He was noways bigoted in ts doing 'this task of biography, for he took to pieces the a d famous figure of th e ange l i n hi s " C ampa i gn, " and , plainly treated the poem as containing a great deal of ,% mere staff. Apropos of the said angel, he showed that tt was the founoutiou of the writer's fortune, and got him his first great step in the world. "Ab 1" exclaimed he, playfully at this point, " these sort of angels' visits are few and far betw , en to men of letters. It is not often that angels' wings flutter at second-floor windows." Addison, he said; was undoubtedly one of the very greatest geniuses, and this made it natural that he should net have bean much given to praising too much. He sel dom praised any but the very highest men, but he bowed down with delight to the imperial genius of Milton. However, Mr. Thackeray did not seem to think that he liked to praise young Mr. Pope the great satirist very much. He would not have dispraised him, perhaps, but—it Mr. Addison's men ,% had done so, he didn't think Mr. Addison would have , taken his pipe out of his mouth to tell them to stop. ..... Addison was indubitably a good-hearted kind man, a benevolent, pure-minded man towards his fellow-crea tures; if he had no very startling virtues, he surely had ice , no vices—scarcely a fault, except one which he was known to be rather addicted to—his fondness for wine. Without this ho would have been, the lecturer announced (very characteristically), " a more perfect man—and without it we should not have loved him so much." • There was, we observed, a sort of particular ex -136 pectancy as Mr. Thackeray came to the part where he ;, spoke of Addiaon'i mar r i age . H e narrated agree ably how he wrote to young Lord Warwick, de scribing the warbling of the nightingales. These nightingales were intended to warble in the ear of Lord Warwick's mamma. He married the re* countess, and died in Holl an d H ouse three years after that splendid but uncomfortable union. The lea Curer next characterised Addison as a "man's man," and as one of the most determined "club men" of his day. Women he judged of superficially, and knew little of them. Oae only he knew well, and her he did nut think very mach ofl The concluding part of the lecture dealt more parti cularly with the great man's literary character. He de scribed him as the gentlest of satirists; one who pointed out to you in a delightful m :nner the foibles of your neighbour, and, turning his head over his shoulder, whis pered to, him good. At this point of the disquisition Mr. Tbackeray read very eff ctively some choice specimens of the Addisonian humour, and concluded in a high and serious strain, after reading one of his most famous poems, by a warm description of tie susceptibility to religious impressions. . Nothing could have been more satisfactory altoisether than the reception of the lecture by the crowded au dience, and, indeed, it was perhaps even more than the last one, a delightful specimen of the author's power.- Morning l'aper.
