TLIE ADVENT OF How few of the visitors of the Great Industrial Exhilaition will consider how many hearts and heads and limbs have ached to produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that now grace the Crystal Palace ; and, besides those triumphs of mankind bow many th o usands of men, equally deserving of success, have , from as many different causes, altogether failed to complete the works upon which their whole energies have been expended for Months perhaps their whole means exhausted ! The Crystal Palace contains the result of im mense talent and indust ry; but the Wonders there accumulated are a lso the results of cares and anxieties Unparalleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce. Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an important lesson ? Ar t , Science, and manufactures, unpatronised and unprotected, would Prgress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobilit andent r see at o one view the wonders that can be achieved under the foste y ring care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi. tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance offwhat mankind may examp le can be be universally promoted by this g i g antic It achieved. Ile who patronises industry is a benefactor.public Was this consideration that induced M essrs. E. MOSE.‘ and SON to enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ w hun ould only dreds of excellent industrious workmen where . others employ tens. Is must be obvious to all reivoning men that mighttu the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself .. clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON can, with their limited profits, out of the labour of a hnndresl. But they have the satisfaction to know that the m ore capit3l the, the can atronis use, and the less profit they exact , the more they can p industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant e payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an article at nearly half the usual, and far better at that price, thin has ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a large capital and numbers of people does not end in the mere fact of low prices; for these very low prices for good clothing enable thou sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their system of trading it was impossible to obtain good cheap clothing ; now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strong and good clothing according to their circumstances. All classes can dress well—all classes ought to dress well. It is worth the consideration of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their own dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS, appropriate for everybody. Buy or n.t buy, no matter, when they have seen they will believe in the beauty and extent ot a stock and an establishment to which it is difficult, it not impossible, to do Justice by description.

Aqui le liablit _ -4-t) [PRICE SD. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The !etoniteur publishes a decree, appointing Gene ral PELISsIER Governor-General , ad interim of Al geria, in the place of General D HAUTPOUL, whose mission has terminated. This is a cool way of getting rid of a man who has ceased to be useful. The fate of General D'HAUTPOUL will not increase the ardour of the supporters of M. Louts NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. The partisans of the Elysee are evidently alarmed at the blunt manner in which Dr. VBRON in the Constitutionnel occasionally blurts out the truth. The .111oniteur du Soir has the following paragraph on the article from the Constitutionnel which we published yesterday, and which has aroused the ire of the Legi timatists and Orleanists. "Every one knows that M. Veron directs his jout nal according to his own fancy, and at present in no way expresses the id ea o f t h e Government. Whys therefore, does the Opposition persist in rendering the Ministers and the President of the Republic responsible for the eccentricities of the Constitutionnel." The gunmakers at Liege, who have recently suf fered much from want of employment, are about to be actively engaged, in consequence of orders from foreign powers, One house alone has received an order to make 50,000 muskets for the Russian Go vernment. . The last of the Paris races took place in the Champ de Mars yesterday. Just before the hour fixed for the commencement of business, there was a heavy fall of rain, which deterred a vast number of persons from attending ; but, as the weather became fine af terwards, a considerable crowd gradually assembled, and before the races were over nearly the whole of the course was lined with spectators. Within the ropes there was a . tolerable show of carriages, though it was not equal to whit is witnesttsir 'OVUM frotirabje occasions. The stands were about two-thirds• full, but there were very few ladies in them. The mem bers of the Jockey Club and other sporting cnarac ters, as usual, mustered in full force. M. DE FALLoux appeared in the Assembly on Saturday. The Bourse was gloomy, and a decided tendency to a fall in prices was manifested. The Five per Cents. opened at 90f. 60c., rose to 90f. 75c., but fell subsequently to 90f. 30c., at which price they closed. The Three per Cents. closed at 56f.

STRAND THEATRE. A two act farce from the pen of Mr. Robert Brough was produced last night at this theatre, under the title of Kensington Gardens. It was hailed with peals of laughter throughout, and proved a decided hit. A fast young man (Mr. A. Davies), in amusing himself by rather impertinently addressing every petticoat he encounters in the gardens, is at last invited by a Member of Parliament's wite to drive home to dinner, as she can by no other means get rid of his importunities. Here to his horror he finds a large party assembled, to whose faces he is mercilessly quizzed by the lady of the mansion (Mrs. Seymour), and introduced to each guest as " the gentleman with whom she has not the honour of being acquainted." Among others, how ever, he finds her niece, his old flame (Miss E. Romer), with whom he is, of course, at length made happy, but not until after some highly ludicrous passages of arms with the other personages, of whom the principal are a duelling old Colonel:( Mr. Tilbury), a snobby gent. (Mr. Rogers), and a pert waiting-maid (Miss Marshall). Had the principal character been in the hands of a good light comedian the cast might have been pro nounced perfect; as it was the piece went off admirably. Mr. Rogers, in his small part, was delicious. He is a thorough artist in his line; indeed he and Mr. Tilbury un derstand the mystery of " dressing!' a character as well se any actors en the boards. The entire piece is replete with fun, and on the fall of the curtain the honour of a recall was accorded to all the dranzatis pei sons., and the author crossed the foot-lights amidst vehement plaudits. The piece was very well mounted and appointed. The house was excellently attended, and the good humour of the audi ence unbounded. (From the Daily News.) Kensington Gardens—a topic of the day just now— were lest evening made the subject of a sparkling little comedy, in two acts, by Mr. Robert Brough. The fun is based upon the lady-hunting propensities of a gentleman, w ho afterwards meets in a drawing-room the young ladies he bas annoyed in the gardens. Mrs. Seymour, as a digni fied married lady, and Miss Marshall, as a pert waiting woman, acted well. The piece was quite successful, and was performed to a full house. Mr. Robert Brough, at its conclu sion, was called upon to bow his acknowledgments before the curtain. _ . fraik.i.,, --- • ....--, --- --'<- ~ •7 -- .7 , el. , e-e-4 . ST.

The story of the piece is one of those simple themes, a mere , situation in fact, in which M. Scribe loves to take from the life of the salons, and which, under his skilful management of half a dozen dramatis persona, seems to expand, as if by its own force, into a perfect . comedy. Emmeric d'Albret„ a young and successful composer, h as many good gifts and a brilliant prospect before him—the worthiest _of uncles, the prettiest of cousins—a love fur the latter, which she very decidedly returns—every possibility of a match which seems sure to make his happiness. But he wears a chain of which he is heartily tired, yet which he cannot break. When he came first to Paris he was without friends, interest, or experience—without anything, •in fact, but genius And ambition. lie found. a guardian-angel in Madame de St. Geran. In pure pity this lady, by giving the young musician that great necessity to success, oppor tunity, °pent! to him tare doors of fortune and of lame. He repaid the service with adoration, and found his angel s mortal. Hence a crowd of miseries which at once a:stotti*ti and perplex his friend Hector hallandatd, aroue de preinfi'le instasee, to whom the lite of ;he salons had seemed from attar the be ightest of pro-pests. The in terest of the pi ece , evo l ve d w i t h a il t h e s kill o f S cr ib e , turns - on the stru gg l es o f E mme ri c with a tie which 'esteems and interest alike make hint anxious to break, ou the etf;)rt.a of Madarna de St. Geran to prolong' her power, and on the indefatigable zeal and wonderful perplexities of Hector heX landard, who acts as the never- failing scapegoat oftiia frienJ r gaining thereby the character of the gayest of deceivers, in stead of that of the purest of crones. The most remarkable agent, however, in the deliverance of Ernmeric, is no less a personage than Mousiour de St. Germ), the mildest and most musical of fatal duellists, the most generous and loyal of deceived husbands. He hears the story of the o for a moment, in b s s p ttl e e . g th t t h ot a f t gh th he holy.filandairlid,th:.itchaoste is his own wife.

The following was the Speech of the PRESI DENT to the Council : . . _ " Gentlemen, —The Prussian Chambers have arrived at the close of their second regular session, which has occupied more than four months of your continued activity. " The commencement of your deli,berations fell in an agitated and critical period. Against threatening dangers the collective military force of the kingdom was called out, on a scale is which it bad never been sum moned before, and with a result that filled the Prussian people ith the consciousness of their own strength and commanded the respect of foreign nations. In the mean time circumstances arose under which his Nlajesty's Go vernment believed, after due and conscientious conside ration, they could avoid the conflict with States of the same German race. But it was natural that in the state of feeling in the country other views of the posi tion of affairs would not remain without expression during your debates. Still the patriotism of both Chambers avoided a con flict which would only have damaged the position of Prussia externally, and injured her internal development —a conflict which none but the enemies of Prussia could have regarded with hope. " With zeal you have applied to your high mission, and by the traits of your activity earned new claims to the thanks of the nation. " Thirty-four Bills, after going through the constitu tional discussion in both Chambers, have been laid be fore the Government, and in part, after receiving the Royal sanction, have been published in the collection of laws. "You have the satisfaction of knowing that anew penal code, which has been in preparation for many years to supply a pressing deficiency, owes its completion to your exertions. " By your assent to the law on a class and classified income-tax, you have maintained the means of meeting the increased demands on the expenditure:of the State, by which the less wealthy classes of the population are not only spared an increase of taxation, but in part have had the burdens on them even much lightened. " The State expenditure for the year 1851 has been fixed, and by granting a credit of 11,500,000 thalers you have given the Government the means of covering the expenses occasioned by calling out the army, which have not been incurred without many and permanent :advan vantages for the military power. " It some draughts of laws have not been completed in this session, yet their discussion, the many proposals from the Chambers themselves, and the petitions pre sented to them, have furnished the Government with materials which, you may be assured, will receive the most careful consideration. _ _ _ " By the decisions you have come to on the Bills laid before you, it you have given the Government the assur ance that is, in essential points, in accordance with the Legislative bodies of the nation. It will be the care of the Government to preserve and increase this accord by a vigorous yet careful execution of the laws you have passed. The retrospect of the session is thus calculated to confirm the assurance that the old Prussian spirit is still powerful in the forms which, under your co-operation, have become the Constitution of the country, and that the chief condition of the development of Prussia on its historical basis has remained unaffected by the confusions of the time. " The enemies of this development, who ar they ne mies of divine and human orde r in general, certnly rest as little as the passions by which they are agitated. But revolution, wherever and under whatever form it may a ppear, w ill find Prussia armed and the Govern ment watchful and firm. " The threatening attitude of this enemy, irrespective of other grounds, renders it the imperative duty of all the German Governments no longer to leave Germany without a central organ, generally recognised both within Germany itself and by foreign powers. " Whether the German Governments now return to the form of the older Constitution of the Bund, or whether the plans, by no means abandoned, of a new organization of that Constitution, will be realized in a practicable form, the independent development of Prussia shall not thereby be in any way endangered. "But the true and silent guarantee for a happy and glorious future for our country, its political and material welfare, its increasing internal prosperity, and its influ ence and power abroad, you will, with his Majesty' s G o vernment, find in the unwearied holding together, an d co-operation of all those who unite in truth and faith un der the motto of a great and glorious era— , With God for King and Fatherland."' The PRESIDENT then declared, in the name of the KING, that the session was closed. The Lloyd announces the arrival at Vienna of an English courier, with important. James's, it t for the St. EMPEROR. The Cabinet of it is said, consent to consider the question of the entry of all Austria into the Confederation as au internal affair if all the States coincide on that The \Virtemburgh Chamber th po o i f 4 Deputies have re turned three Liberals as whom the KING must e candidates from among choose the President, and unanimously decided to vote on no a l dsdress in answer to the Speech from the Throne. solved to nominate a Committee e. on public e subsegun .

The period of the play is fixed a hundred years ago, :Aid the action occurs in the vicinity of Carlisle. The principal characters are an old miser, his daughter, her accepted suitor, a rejected lover, a •' village scam,' and an officer of the law. These various personages are brought together under cir cumstances which lead to the impression that they are sufficiently acquainted with each other's peculiarities as to render it somewhat difficult for any very violent contest to arise amongst them. Nevertheless, such is the magic power exercised by the dramatist, that a murder is committed 1)y one of the fraternity, and the murderer is supposod to be the accepted lover of the victim's daugh ter. Jealousy has been the cause of this accusation, and a prison the efisct of it. The real culprit. of course, remains unknown until the conclusion of the piece, whilst the in nocent lover, who is made to answer for the charge, is exposed to sundry trials of patience and endurance, which are sufficient to drown all his hopes of a satisfactory ter mination to his attachment. The scenes of love and re venge which take place in the meantime are necessarily of the most distressing character, but in the end the virtuous are rewarded, and the vicious very properly punished, by command of the law, and to the satisfaction of the audience. The serious portion of the piece is, as usual, relieved by the exploits of buffoons, Who appear ever and anon for the purpose of raising a laugh, often at the expense of com mon sense, but still to the delight of the contented occupants of pit and gallery. The drama was very creditably repre sented, and, as the production of a young writer, it may be said to give some promise, inasmuch as its chie f ? merit does not lie in prolonged dialogue, but in a satisfactory attempt at dramatic action. The play was quite successful, although the applause at the conclusion was not of that vehement character which marks an undoubted triumph at this the atre. As to the title—Michaelmas Day-it has notilii°llf whatever to do with the piece, which might j ust as ePT:PP ately be called " Good Friday" or " Shrove Tuesday.

Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climate& EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-50 0 , 000 /. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are--Moderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Z•remiurn to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the .11fferent Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highe , t importance, both so the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an apdroximation to the true risk be made. 'to secure this object the Equitable Fire insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?reached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted ..n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Of will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tie e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Read Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 250/. —making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. • The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, IMO, was more than doable the number issued In the twelve mouths preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.2 x. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45 , 1251 . 6 s.

ASYNOPSIS OF A SYSTEM. The " Times" newspaper of the 9th of April, in an able arti cle on the sanitary condition of society, says—" That it can no longer be said that the working Englishman Is ill clothed." The writer is convinced, as must be everybody on observation, that a complete change has taken place within the last few years in this respect—a change whose origin is easily demonstrable, on an impartial review of HYAM and Co.'s operations. The proprietors have already argued and proved their priority in connexion with that system which has done so much for the commu nity at large, as every candid statist has seen and acknowledged. When 11YAM and t projected their first undertaking many years ago. and hazarded a large capital in bringing into operation an en tirely new order of things, they found the tailoring trade in the posses sion and under the control of private speculators, who found the high prices of the few sufficient for their own personal consideration. Now, however advantageous and lucrative this system of things may have proved to those who practised it, it was undoubtedly most inimical to the interests of the public at large ; confining, as it did, the bene fits of good clothing to the possessors of plentiful purses. HYAM and Co , on carefully weighing this state of things, resolved on starting a system of cheapness, assured thatan adequate compen sation would be realised in what they would term "THE MONEY OF THE MANY." Such an immense reduction did HYAM and Co. make In the old exorbitant profits, that the practicability of the system was for a con siderable time regarded as a matter of doubt ; but the money of the many was secured, and the money of the many, as anticipated, re moved every stumbling-block, and brought aboat a successful work ing of the system. Let it not be understood, however, that cheap ness was the only feature In HYAM and Co.'s new system. It would have been very easy for the proprietors to have accommodated mat ters by manufacturing inferior materials, and by employing second rate cutters and workmen. lint the contrary of this was the case. While the r trading glass was low in point of price, it was high with reference to those essential particulars— FASHION AND QUALITY. The money of the many, which enabled them to sell at a moderate rate, enabled them, also, to buy the best materials, and to employ he best workmen. The interests of all classes had never before been assimilated in tne tailoring trade ; an invidiou i distinction was in variabiy made, and if a person, not happily situated in a pecuniary serws, desired an article of dress, he was insulted by being presented with a perfectly different di sign in cut and make. lint HYAM and Co. discarded such practices, and convinced the public that first-rate articles of dress could be sold for charges which appeared at one time a very doubtful novelty. Such was the system of FIYAM and Co., a system which Great Itritain at large has recogniseii in the most satisfactory manner; and hence that improved appearance in clothing to which the first jour nal in the world has alluded. True, indeed, it Is, that an improvement in this respect Is ma- nifest.

On the contrary, he thought the company had done no more than their duty. The defendant was then discharged. George Pearson Barrett, 40, and Enoch Pear son Barrett, 37, were indicted for stealing a truss of gools, the property of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, and Robert Abbott, 29, who surrendered to take his trial, was indicted for feloniously receiving a portion of the property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Huddlestone conducted the prose cution. The prisoners were severally defended by Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Parnell, and Mr. Woollett. The circumstances of the case were reported at the last session, when the two Barrette were convicted of an offence .it a similar character. The evidence went to show that Enoch Barrett was in the service of the London and Brighton Railway Company, and he was stationed as switchman at the Bricklayers Arms junction, and there was very little doubt that he and his brother George had been concerned in a very extensive system of plundering goods trains. Abbott, it appeared, was brother-in-law to the other prisoners, and resided at Newport Pagnell , and up o n the officer searcaing his house, he found a watch and other articles the produce of a robbery that had been committed u p on the railway in 1849, and the whole of which he subsequently admitted he had received from the prisoner George Barrett.

The Railway Market continues un satisfictory ; and, so far as London is concerned, it is inferred that speculation has been considerably damped by the recent high charges of interest for continuations.

William Griffin, a young man of respectable appearance, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of assaulting Maria Palmer Mr. Huddle rosecution on behalf of s t one c onducted the p the South-Eastern: Railway Company ; Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Robinson appeared for the defendant. The Learned COUNSEL, in opening the case, said that th e directors of the South-Eastern Railway had felt it their duty to institute this prosecution on account of the assault im puted to the defendant havi n g been committed upon a person in humble circumstances, who was at the time a traveller in one of their trains. They felt that a person in such a posi tion was entitled to receive protection from every description of insult and annoyance; and upon the facts coming to their knowledge they considered it their duty to take care that th e matter should be investigated y a jury. Th e particulars of the case having been given in evidence , Mr. BALL NNTI NE, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said he would not attempt to deny that the company had only performed their duty in bringing forward the present charge ; but at the same time he hat great confidence that the jury would not convict a young man who, he should show them, had up to this time borne an unimpeachable character, and for ever destroy his reputation, upon the evi dence that had been laid before them. Several highly respectable witnesses were then examined, all of whom described the de fendant as being entitled to the character of a well-conducted re s p ectable young man. The jury stopped the Learned Recorder as he was about to MOM up, and said they were unanimously of opinion that the charge had not been made out; and they therefore returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The REcortntelt remarked that although the jury had come to this conclusion, there was no doubt that it was a very proper matter to be inquired into. Mr. II UDDLESTONE said that, upon the company being ac quainted with the facts, they felt that they had no alternative bat to institute A prin•ClitiOn. When made up in From what PLACES.

ALBAN'S BRIBERY COMMISSION. --The Bill for appointing Commissioners to inquire into the and existeroughtnce of bribery in the borough of St. Alban's,"prepared b in by Mr. Ellice and Mr. IL Stuart, recites that it is expe dient to appoint such Commissioners, with a secretary and clerks, as there is reason to believe that the practice of bribery at elections of Members to serve in Parliament has long prevailed in St. Alban's, and that bribery to a great ex tent has been systematically committed there at the last election; that great difficulty has been hitherto experienced in obtaining complete proof of this system of bribery, by reason of the contrivances of certain parties, more or less im plicated in the same; that it would tend to insure a full discovery of it if an inquiry were made on the spot by au thorized Commissioners. -The Commissioners are to report guineas p °- from time to time to Parliament, and are to have power to send for persons and papers. Persons implicated in bribery who may be examined, and who make a faithful discove are to be indemnified from criminal prosecutions. It is pro posed posed that each Commissioner shall receive five day, over and above travelling and other expenses.

THE MURDER OF THE POLICEMAN 11V VAUXHALL-WALK. Yesterday evening the inquiry into the circumstances con nected with this horrible murder, which was adjourned for the purpose of affording time for a post-mortem examination of the deceased, was resumed before Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hospital. The room where the jury met for this purpose was exceed ingly small and inconvenient, and the foreman expressed his surprise to the coroner that in such an extensive establish ment, and one in which numerous inquests were held, a more commodious place could not have been afforded them for one evening ; The Coio - inn, after consulting - for some time-with the in spector who has the case in hand, said that he did - not think he would find it necessary to detain the jury upon this occa sion. From what he had heard from the inspector, he be lieved he would best consult the ends of justice by adjourning the inquiry for a few days longer. Before he did so he should wish to hear the evidence of the house surgeon, Mr.W. Rhys, who had made the post-mortem examination. Mr. %V. Rhys said he had made the post-mortem examina tion as directed, but nothing he had noticed had altered his original opinion—namely, that death resulted from extensive injuries to the head. That was the only conclusion he could arrive at after a most careful investigation of the injuries which the deceased had sustained. [Though it did not come out in the evidence yesterday, we may state that the post-mortem examination which was made immediately after the termination of the inquiry on Tuesday last, showed that all the organs of the body were in a perfectly healthy condition. Upon the scalp were several large lacerated wounds, corresponding to which were simple, compound, and comminuted fractures of the skull, extending across the whole of the frontal and spheroid bones.
