Yesterday the Danish victory at Idstedt was fol lowed up at the Foreign-office in Downing -street by the signing of the long-expected protocol by the Plenipotentiaries. That protocol, partially accepted on the 4th of July, was finally accepted, as we have obaerved, on the 2d cf August. Those Plenipoten ': Varies 'ivr'e the negotiating representatives of France, 3Zussia, Dentpak, Sweden, and Great Britain. Our assertions .00nsequentiy, that the-defeat recently ex - 'periencr.d•by General WILLISEN; the Commander-in qhief \he: Sohleswig-Holetein forces, would inevitably prove <the prelude,- to' a- satisfactory settlement of the question at issue• betiveen the bet- ligereny, have been very r'ap ' idly and very signally verified. _ The protracted contention between • THE LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3 3 1850. Denmark and the Germanic Confederation may be now regarded as virtually brought to a conclusion, through the instrumentality of the chief of the Great Powers of Christendom. According to the dccision of the important document already reverted to as having been signed last evening, under the supervi sion of Viscount PALMERSTON, the conflicting claims of the Duchies have been reconciled, and the integrity of the dominions subject to the sway of the Danish Monarchy boldly and de finitively indicated. That integrity, it will be re membered by our readers, we have repeatedly shown to be jeopardised by the infamous egressions of Prus sia and her political accomplices in the Confederation, our arguments on this head having been reiterated during upwards of the thirty months last past succes ively. Throughout that period we have vigilantly watched the movements of the opposing armies as they have oscillated between the northern and southern boundaries of Jutland, maintaining, ►meanwhile, an un interrupted scrutiny of the course pursued by the antagonistic diplomatists. Be it observed, moreover, to the honour of our Liberal contemporaries, scarcely a journal amongst the metropolitan or provincial press has failed to advocate the cause of justice, identified, as it was, with the rights of Denmark, or to contemn the unrighteous proceedings of the Berlin Govern ment and of the other Cabinets implicated with the Schleswig-Holstein insurgents. None, in fact, of the Liberal journalists of England have sympathised with the lawless assailants of an ancient and independent sovereignty like Denmark, except such as have been bitten with the phobia of the arbitration movement, and whose judg ments have consequently been distorted by prejudice. For ourselves, we have preserved throughout a scru pulous regard to the logic of facts, those facts being furnished by the pages of history and by the usages recognized from an almost immemorial antiquity. Foremost among those facts is the circumstance that the southern boundary of the peninsular dominion of Denmark has for centuries, from the'sitys of the CSAARS downwards, been that river Eyder, -which the Prussian soldiers have dared to cross in their most flagitious movement of aggression, and over which they are now being driven hack ignominiously by the terrors of Danish patriotism. The existence, during so many bygone ages up to the present pe riod, of the distinct line of demarcation between the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein—between the Scandinavian Duchy of Schleswig and the Germanic Duchy of Holstein, a line of demarcation indicating at once the boundary of the Danish territories and of the territories of the Confederation—we have illustrated .(so often as to have rendered the quotation hack neyed) by the motto inscribed on the oldest maps of Europe, " Eydera Germani terminus imperii." At that river we have shown that the dominion of Ger many has ceased. From the Eyder northwards, we have seen that the Jutland peninsula has always ap pertained to the Danish sovereignty. We have re cognized the fact proclaimed by the voice of history, that Schleswig itself has for many long centuries been not an appendage of Denmark, but an integral portion of its dominions. Knowing these things, our judgment has revolted from anything like respect for the conduct of the Prussian Government in aiding and abetting the insurgents of the Duchy of Holstein in striving to effect their association with their Scandinavian neighbours. The adventure has glared upon us from first to last in its full atrocity as a mendacious endeavour to commence the dismember ment of the Danish dominions. A very simple comparison will tend to illus trate more clearly than any more serious argu ment the gross injustice and crass stupidity of hose proceeding; on the part of the Confederation. The conduct of Prussia and its associatQs, in joining with Holstein in its effort to unite itself with Schleswig, and thereby to rend that Duchy from the dominions of the King of DENMARK, is as monstrous and unjustifiable as if France were to con spire with the Channel Islands in an endeavour to seize the Isle of Wight, and thereby to violate the integrity of the dominions of Great Britain. Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark belong to England after the same fashion that Holstein belongs to Den mark.. Schleswig at the same time is as completely an integral portion of Denmark as the Isle of Wight is an integral portion of England. Consequently, when the Ilolsteiners are struggling to wrest Schles wig from its intimate union with Denmark, aided in that struggle by the military force of the -German Confederation, it is as shameless and detestable a violation of all justice as if the inhabitants of the Channel Islands were struggling to %rest the Isle of Wight from its intimate union with Englund, aided in that struggle by the military force of the French Republic. Recognising thus clearly the goodness of the claims of Denmark, we exult in the present approximation of its difficulties to a satisfactory settlement, partly through the valour of its patriotic soldiers, partly through the adroitness of the European Plenipoten tiaries, almost simultaneously by the signing of the protocol in London and the gaining of the victory at Idstedt. Should no unforeseen calamity arise as an obstruction, the Schleswig-Holstein question will very soon be resolved into a permanent reconciliation of the belligerents; while England, Russia, France, and Sweden will stand pledged to maintain the inte grity of the Danish sovereignty. "If the law supposes that," said Mr. BUMBLE, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, " the law is a ass—a idiot. If that is the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor, and the worst I wish the law is, that his eye may be opened by experience—by experience." Mr. BUMBLE was right, the law is in many respects " a ass—a idiot,"_ and in none is its deficiency more painfully apparent than in the law of husband and wife. A case was decided on Tuesday in the House of Lords, on appeal from the Court of Session in Scotland, that affords the most powerful illustration of its gross absurdity, and tempts us to wish, with the "parochial functionary," that so far as the question of legal cruelty be concerned "the eye of the law may be opened by experience —by experience." The case was one in which the husband appealed against the decree of the Scotch Court which pro nounced that his wife was entitled to a separation a mensii et thoro, and to a suitable alimony. This judgment was founded on a course of conduct on the part of the appellant to his unfortunate wife, which, in whatever light it might be regarded by " the eye of the law," could only appear to -" the eye of reason and common sense " as being infinitely more painful and heartrending to the respondent than such a degree of " personal violence," or " threat of personal violence,", as would undoubtedly constitute an act or acts cf " legal cruelty" sufficient to warrant a partial divorce from bed and board, and to afford the deeply• injured lady a perfect right to withdraw herself from under the roof where she had been treated with such gross con tumely,by the ,jean, who at the altar of GOD had vowed " to love and cherish her until death did them part." Without entering into the statements contained in " the..summons of separation," or the evidence by wbileiciihmtehelyinrnt himselfi ghtb ay o v e sustained , dlb t a h t e b lee badtter letters ofvo luntarily .. distinctly ea pr luntarily and for ever relinquished all privileges o f a husband. Although dis charge the duti e s o f a husband , be he, refused to would exact the obedience of a wife. by I:awl:It • - CO — where her friends a n d relation' ' e l s her t o rema i n s were forbidden to come—where he treated her, to use his own words, with " an involuntary avoidance and.eold " nese —where he was aware that " she neither was nor could be ' happy." He would refuse his absent to a formal separation, although he acknowledged " that they were as much separated as if she were living under the roof of her parents"—that they had " separate apartments, separate feelings, and (he might add) Under such circumstances there separate interests." could surely be no difficulty in assenting to his own proposition that such a separation was "far more dis creditable than if distance were added." Ile would keep her under his own roof, arid forbid her to reside, we will not say where she might have a prospect of happiness, for of that there could be but little pro bability under any possible circumstances, but where her misery might be in some degree alleviated — where other friends might in some degree compensate i for the cold-blooded negligence of one who should 1 , be " all the world to her," and where she might be spared the " scorn, contempt, or pity" of her very `servants, some of which feelings must be excited at witnessing the continued indignities, indignities most galli:Jg to the heart of a high-minded and sensitive fe ale. There was no charge against the unfortunate lady of misconduct on her part to justify such conduct. It did not proceed from any c:iuses arising atter the indissoluble knot had been tied. The appellant him self, within a few months after the marriage, stated, in a letter to his father-in-law, " that there exists now, as at all previous times, an involuntary avoidance and coldness, I cannot deny—everything she does is so distasteful to me that I almost imperceptibly shrink from those attentions that may be expected from me;" and in a subsequent part of the same communication he declared that her family " were witnesses to the same cold avoidance before his marriage which then characterised his conduct, and which was so plainly and so broadly indicated to ELIZABETH (the respon dent) herself, that she must have possessed more than ordinary resolution to encounter that which evi dently lay in her path." Under such circumstances, it appears by no means extraordinary that the deeply injured lady should have felt herself compelled to quit her husband's house, after enduring such avoidance and cold ness for near eight calendar months, that thus partially abandoned by her husband, she should hava sought the protection of her parent. What alternative then remained ? She could scarcely be expected to linger out her years in hopeless misery, receiving with grateful humility the food that was doled out to her at the scene of her unspeakable wretchedness. Stripes and bitter reproaches would be preferable to the mental agony she endured. In one case some faint hope of amendment might be en tertained. She might indulge the fond expectation of regaining the affections of her husband by her patient and unrepining suffering; she might occasionally have some intervals of relief, but, as it was, the torture of mind was incessant. There was nothing, not a single moment of felicity , to break the monotony of her miserable existence. We.do not charge the appellant with being actuated solely by a desire to cause her vexation and annoy ance, but, in our opinion, the most r.fined cruelty could not devise a course better calculated to attain that end If, then, she were justified in leaving her husband, it followed, as a matter of course, that be was bound to provide her with the means of existence which should be proportioned to his own pecuniary resources. This is in accordance with the entire course of judicial decisions. .91 person who had given her credit for necessaries would be entitled to recover the amount from her husband, and it ap pears almost a necessary consequence that, if he be bound to discharge her debts, he should, in like manner, be bound to afford her the means of livelihood, without forcing her to contract such lia bilities. The House of Lords has, however, decided otherwise. It has reversed the decree of the Court of Session in Scotland, and thus virtually decided that, provided a man does not commit or threaten a per sonal assault, or use gross and infamous language to wards his wife, he may render her life miserable, and breakher heart according to law with impunity. We do not allude to this extremely painful case for the purpose of hurting the feelings of the parties con• cerned, whose names we have studiously abstained from repeating, or 'of impeaching the judgment of Lord BROUGHAM and his fellow Peers. We fear that the latter is but too well founded, that it is in ac cordance with the recognised law of the land. But we do so for the purpose of demanding an alteration of that law, of insisting upon some reasonable pro tection fur injured females. Tae case is undoubtedly of a very singular character, and there is a legal maxim that " hard cases make bad precedents." The Roman law had no punishment fur parricide, be cause it was not supposed that such a crime was within the bounds of possibility. But, as it now appears that there may be conduct sufficient to drive a wife from her home without what is termed " legal cruelty" being resorted to, we repeat that a legal re medy should be provided. There is now a precedent in the judgment of the highest tribunal in the land, that must be respected, and overrule the de cisions of inferior courts in all similar cases. The law may be considered as settled thereby, and, until that law be changed, we fvel ourselves warranted in adopting the language of the ex•beadle, and calling it " a ass—a idiot ;" and we believe the community in general will join with us in praying that " its eye may be opened by experience—by experience." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. They all, in accordance with the provisions of what the Journal des Debats calls " the Law of hatred," bear a stamp. The speculators and share-jobbers are much alarmed by the unexpected success of the motion of AI...COLFAVEU on the Nantes and Bourdeaux Rail way Bill. When this Bill came on for discussion, ill. COLFAVRU, who was one of the insurgents of June, 1848, who had been amnestied by the PRESIDENT, moved that before proceeding further with the mea sure the Assembly should have laid before it a com plete list of the shareholders, in order to ascertain who among its members were personally interested in the matter. The ultra-Legitimatists joined the Socialists in support of this proposition, which was carried by a majority of 256 to 241. The Prince DE CANINO, ex-President of the Roman Republic, occupied the tribune of his cousin the PRESIDENT of the French Republic at the Xational Assembly on Thursday, to the great horror of " the faithful," who call out for a Roman expedition in the interior. The Univers, as usual, brings out a new batch of miracles. We read,in the Bulletin de Paris— " The Pre s ident of the Republic has decided on visit ing the departments of the east and south-east ofFrance. Lie 'will go to Strasbourg, Lyons, and the intermediate towns, but it is nut yet decided whether . he will visit Marseilles. The President will commence his journey on the 15th inst." • It is said that a Legitimatist plot has been dis covered, the object of which was to depose the Pan- SIDENT, disperse the Assembly, and proclaim General CHANGARNIER. Dictator until the return of HENRI V. The press law seems to " plague its inventors" much after the fashion of the electoral law. The first journal that has been killed by the stamp duty is the Narbonnais, one of the most violent of the organs of the reactionary party in the south of France. The section of the Paris and Strasburg Railway between Chalons and Vitry is to be opened in a few days.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. There WAS a firm arid steady market for Cotton at Liverpo , 4 le•sterOay, the sales being estimated at 10,000 bales.—The Share Market was flat. The changes in the position of the Bank of England during the we.,lc, ending the 27th ultimo, are not ma terial. There would seem to be better employment for money, as the notes out with the public represent a larger suw. The bullion likewise has been trenched upon, and there was a reduction of private deposits. The balance to the credit of the Treasury is again in the ascendant, and we may conclude that the influence of the quarterly payments is over. It may appear somewhat contradictory that the sum of the other securities should be smaller, but the refunding of loans, after the transfer books re-open, is customary. Compared with the previous week, the particular changes are as follows: Notes Issued ... ... Decrease Rest ... 30,181,795 ... 75,645 3,187,155 Increase . . 7.054 Public Deposits ... ... 5,022 745 Increase 377,551 Other Deposits ... ... 10,404,440 Decrease ... ... 717,978 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,365,264 Increase ... 53,562 Government Securities No al eration. Other Securities ... .. 10,166 075 Decrease 18 285 Notes ... 9,421 020 a - crease ... 268,160 Bullion ... 16,841,721 Decrease ... 69,011 Active Circulation ... 20,760,775 Increase 192,515 The dealings in foreign bills of exchange were, yes terday afternoon, to a moderate extent. The state of credit in all the principal continental cities has very sensibly improved within the last two or three months ; and, should tranquillity be preserved, and the Govern ments evince an unequivocal desire to legislate more in accordance with the times, mercantile enterprise and financial confidence would attain a far higher position. The doubt, however, still lurks in the mind, not alone of thinking men, but of the great bulk of the population, whether the concessions will be on anything like a corn• prehensive basis, or whether even reaction may not be the plainer feature. In France the restoration to a better state of things has this year been wonderful, taking the former and lengthened prostration into account ; and the recovery speaks volumes for the resources of the country, as well as the elastic and hope ful temperament of its inhabitants. The Bank of France, according to the proposal of the Government, is to resume specie payments, which indeed, with the immense amount in its possession, and the limited demand for bullion, it may safely do. We doubt if there would be the least anxiety testified to draw out the precious metals in exchange for notes. In the German cities money is as abundant as here, but a new disturbing element may be the Danish war, should it be prolonged, or lead to political complications. Of Italy we cannot speak so favourably ; credit is stronger, certainly, but the revival is slow. Belgium, although, like England, it has suffered partially from the late revo. lutions, has maintained its position well, and progresses less visibly with the favourable reaction of countries that were more prostrated. Holland is in a similar care, and of the Peninsular countries we can say but little, so restricted has their trade become through their unwise fiscal system. There will be a drawback, it is feared, this season to the prosperity of some of the continental states, from the reported deficient grain crops. Bills dated 90 days were purchased yesterday afternoon at 25 57f to 62f ou Paris; at 13 10i to 11 on Hamburgh; at 25 57i to 60 on Antwerp; and at 11 52 to 53 on Trieste. In the Estimates for Civil Services during the current 3 ear, we ai e glad to observe that the sum or 30,000/. is proposed to be voted for affording rolirf to a certain ex tent to the depositors in the late Cuffe-street Savings% bank in Dublin. The exports of the precious mc tals from London dur ing the week to Thursday last were 125,000 ounces of silver, chiefly to Belgium, and 4,135 ounces of gold. The trade and navigation returns fir the month and six months ending the 6th July are out this morning. The exports stand for the following amounts:- 1849 1850. Month ... .£5,323,466 ... 5,750,556 Six months 26,515,439 ... 31,778,504 This gives an increase of 427,0901. on the month, and of 5,263,0651. on the six months, and arises upon all the principal staples.

On the motion for bringing up the report of the Com mittee of Supply, Mr. HUT pursuant to notice, called the attention of the House to the publication and distribution of the his torical work called " Illonumenta Hi3torica Britannica," the price of which he contended should be reduced to the Mr. C. LEWIS hoped that the reduction of price from five guineas to two would be sufficient to make the work accesiible to the public, and if not he trusted that the subject would be taken into consideration by the Go vernment. Af.er a few observations from Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Bernal, and Mr. a Thompson, the subject dropped. Mr. HUTT gave notice that he would next session call the attention of the House to the same subject. The report of the Committee of Supply was then brought up, and agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS. On bringing up the report of the Committee on Ways and Mt an*, Mr. FIUME informed the House that if he should live till text session he would religiously attend to the esti mate, and refuse all votes that were proposed after twelve o'clock at night. He should decline sitting in any Committee, in order that he might be in his place every night to watch closely the financial proceedings of the Government, and he therefore took the opportunity of giving them notice to be prepared in future with early and accurate accounts. He advised them to reconsider their estimates and eta the votes down to the lowest figure, or they would find in him a rigorous and uncom promising opponent, but one always ready to agree to those supplies which the wants of the public service absolutely required. Mr. BROTIIERTON said it was his intention also to turn over a new leaf, as he found that when he gave the Government an inch they took an ell, and he should pro pose the first thing next session, that the Speaker do leave the chair every night at 12 o'clock, believing that that course would induce Hon. Members who were fond of speaking to economise time, and pay more attention to the real business of the house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex plained that the House had got in its possession already both a detailed account and a summary of the whole ac counts. Mr. COBDEN thought that many of those works which had been begun in times of psnic should be abandoned and discontinued as soon as possible. A sum of 513,000/. was asked for to complete the harbour of refuge and other works at Alderney, a sum which would buy that island twice over. Mr. HENLEY suggested that there should be a pro vision for the inspection of those works from time to time. The subject then dropped. Tho report was then agreed to. The Grand Jury Cess (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed.. The Fees (Court of Common Pleas, No. 2) Bill was also read a third time and passed. The National Gallery (Edinburgh) Bill passed timiugh Committee. The Spitalfields and Shorditch New Street Bill was rt ad a second time. The House then adjourned at Two o'clock. - - HYDROrnomA.----A most distressing case of hydro phobia has recently occurred in Glasgow. The victim was a young man employed by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, who was bitten about two months ago by a terrier dog, while in the act of removing it from one of t',,e carriages. The wound wasso slight that the poor fellow paid no attention to it at the time, although desired by one of the managers of the railway to consult a surgeon. Sinc e it healed, however, the idea haunted his mind that hydro phobia would be the result of the accident. About eight days ago he complained of a numbness in his arm, whi c h increased until the feeling became painful ; but this was re moved temporarily by friction with a linament. On Friday last the patient conplainel of a dryness in the throat, and an inability to swallow fluids, when the family medical at tendant was called in, and he was put under treatment. B e was censidered somewhat easier on Saturday night, but on Sabbath mornirg he became much worse, and in the course of the day the paroxysms incre,:sed in violence so much that the efforts et three min were necessary to hold the poor suf ferer in bed. At half-past seven on `6unuay night death re- lieveath.e unfortunate man from his agony. GERMANY.

A bri,k cannonade in the direction of Kiel was heard at Hamburgh on the 30Y1 ult. It was supposed to proceed from an attack by the united Danish and Russian fleets on the Schleswig-Holstein positions. Reports have been current of the Danish general having sent in a flag of truce, demanding a suspen sion of hostilities for four days. The case is the re verse : it was General WILLISEN who, upon the evening of thG 26th or 27th, sent in a flag of truce to the Danish head-quarters, asking for four days' truce, but which was peremptorily refused by General KROGH.

HER MAJESTY'S TRIP TO SCOTLAND. At a dinner to Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P., at Newcastle, on Wednesday (which appears in another column), the following letter from a Cabinet Minister was read by Mr. Leman, who, in returning thanks to a toast in honour of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, announced that her Mijesty and Prince Al bert would be present at the formal opening, in confir mation of which be read a letter he had received from the Earl of Carlisle, putting the question beyond all doubt:— .6 My dear Leman,—lf you bavo not already been ap prised, I am now able to acquaint you that the Queen and Prince Albert will open tho Berwick Railway on the 29L11 of August. They will se: off from Castle Howard that morning, and will sleep in Edinburgh. I shall rely upon your making ail the railway arrange ments as convenieLtly as possible. 4 Yoars, very truly, "July 29, 1850." " CARLISLE." OLYMPIC THEATRE. This hou,e last night was more than usually crowded. The Pets of the Ballet appearing to be the great source of attraction. The dancing of Mae. Louise and Mdlle.lßG sina Wright Eras excellent. The management may think themselves fortunate in possessing an artiste such as Mdlle. Wright—her dancing is truly the poetry of mo tion. The Malcontent gent off heavier than usual, and, as we observed before, is wholly unfitted for the English stage. The afterpiece of the Two Pages of Frederick the Great appeared to give univeral satisfaction, if one may judge from the continued . hughter and applause with which it was received. Madame Ritzberg was well and feelingly played by Mrs. Griffiths but the charm of the piece was the great talent and vivacity which Miss Florence Grey, as Theodore, threw into her part. We have seldom seen a character that pleased us better. She rattled through the part of the merry-hearted Theodore with a joyous mirth!ulness that was quite bewitchitg. Well did she deserve the ap plause she received. The acting of Miss Florence Grey, when she found the ducats, ern! practises the pious fraud of telling a falsehood to the King, to screen Augustus, was a masterpiece of actin r. Having said thus much, Miss Grey will not feel offended if we remark that she speaks too much from the teeth, and not from the chest, which weakens a voice naturally pleasing and melodious. However, the character was admirably played, and does Miss Florence Grey much credit. HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. THE BLACK MALIBRAN.

SIR,—As your columns are always open to advocate justice and expo,e oppression, will you permit me to icquire, through the medium of your journal, whether the Bridge House Committee, being proprietors of a wharf adjoining the• public stairs, on the Surrey side of London. bridge, are justified in the exercise of their private interest in depriving, not only the public of an accommodation they we justly entitled to, but the poor waterman. of the means of subsistence, merely to satisfy the caprice of a tenant, a Mr. Fanning, occupying an adjoining wharf. The tact is, that a pier on the Surrey side of London-bridge, and the only one between it and Lambeth, a distance of three miles, has been erected by the poor watermen fur the accommodation of pas sengers to and from she various railways on that side the water, and to obviate the danger unavoidably in curred by passengers crossing the road, obtained leave of the IVaingation Committee to carry a brow, or thorough fare, unocr the arch up the south side of the bridge, by which accommodation upwards of 120,000 persons have in a very short time passed. Mr. Fenning, the tenant of the adjoining wharf, became annoyed by this pier (though quite detached from his wharf), and petitioned consequence peremptorily or d ere d i ts i mmed i ate remova l . his landlords, the : Bridge H ouse C omm i ttee , w h o h ave i n This conduct appears so exceedingly arbitrary and un justifiable, at variance with all reason, arid in despite of the petitions of upwards of 2,000 persons of all classes —depriving the public of an accommodation so great, that I am induced . to ask, where the power of appeal (if any) against such fragrant oppression on the part of the Bridge House Committee lies.

Yesterday morning they visited some of the, principal manufactories; amongst these were, Mr. Harris's glass-house, the glass manufactory of the Messrs. Osier, Mr. Winfield's lamp and brass bedstead manu factory, Mr. Sargant's gun manufactory, the plate glass works at Smithwick, and Mr. G. K. Collis's works. At several of these establishments they made large purchases. At Mr. Collins's, in addition to a considerable quantity of plate (including a church communion ser. ice), orders were given for a number of castings, including the Queen, Prince Albert, the Duke" of Wellington, the Marqsis of Anglesea, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Dalhousie, Lord Hardinge, and Lord Gough ; the last-named Noble Lord having visited these works on Thursday. In the middle of the day the Prince visited the Music Hall, expressing himself much de lighted with the magnificent organ. In the evening his Highness and suite visited the theatre, and this morning (Saturday) they will visit sonic other of the manufactories, and, it is expected; the principal works in the dsstrict.
