Never has the truth of the old adage, "ex t remes meet," been more clearly exemplified than in tb a cases of Mr. GUSTAVUS ROCHFORT CLARKE, the Icon goclast, and Messrs. MILLAIS, HUNT, and COLLINS, tb ea Pre- Raphaelite brethren ; not more naturally doe e Pro tectionism, when carried out, run into So rialism (witness the speeches of BUSFEILD FERRAND a ad the letters of RICHARD OASTLER passim) than doe s Clerkeism run into Pre-Raphaelism. Mr. R 4 lea- FORT CLARKE objects to the generality of painting • and sculpture, that it is either voluptuous, and calcti lated to excite impure ideas, or that it is blasphemous, and to give vent to his indignation he actually did pt Iblic execution cn a print of Muauxo's magnificent pic ture of the Trinity by tearing it up, amidst, a s he tells us, the applause, but, as others who were pre sent tell us, the contemptuous laughter of an Exc ler hall audience. At this point the Puritanism run mad of Mr. CLARKE meets with and joins the Ca tho licism run mad of the Pre-Raphaelites ; they w ould n bleven-c:o ? u a b c t ki b n e g o h o a `117. - have joined him in this act of wanton destruct ion. Fie upon principle objects to the ' represen tation either in marble or by painting of earth." "the likeness of anything that is in the hen yens tice, the earth;' and d r i the earth beneath, or in the waters 111 der such above the s The carry out his principle ' Thep trec that they carefully avoid painting any likenesses. The sublimity of MURILLO Ls ?jog ascomprehensionbi of Mr. CLARKE, is by him AstfirgLatrisseedntitled 4 " . g elnY ; which is exhibited Royal Academy, i n , „,,Yiear doubt in of Mr. CLARKE'S admiration. it represents two children in but the picture by Mr. tilis e Dove returned to the A rk," beci t a h o e Exhibition s of the not, the ob . ject It is essentially Clar ky; litter of straw (as if NoaArtgabiand, picattuartheloinfgA: At: the PrOper nd pers), cuddling a dove.

MILLAIS, quite punishment enough for i faults of which he could have been guilty. Equs would Mr. CLARKE admit the propriety of I RUNT'S delin ea ti on o f th e "T wo G ent l emen o fV eron t hey are in the flesh gentlemen such as were never st from the days of A DAM dow wards, and w ho, I ] s ould they ever appear on I stage of life, wou ld continue single gentlemen their for days, seeing th at their appearance is a peril cu love. Les extremes se tou c h en t ; an d h ere 1 have the Big o t ry of the I conoc last and the Bi go t r y the Ultra-Cath o li cs in art uniting in a repudiation 1 o, re by my -611 y dr. ye of of " regnikVsold" by the New York _Herald, and that suspicion ripened into certainty on reading, in the next place, the original document which our contemporary thought fit to transfer to his broad sheet in extenso. It is true that productions of an extraordinary nature ap pear not rarely in the American newspapers, but our friend of the New York Herald is by no means ' such an ignoramus as to put forth seriously a tirade such as that which galled the Times into an affrighted belief in its sober import. The whole affair would, however, have passed away like every other nine days' wonder, but the English journal seems resolved to try and have the last word, and thereby, with all re spect be it spoken, to write itself down a kindred animal to honest DOGBERBY. The Herald, in the last impression which has reached Europe, announces that the effusion to which so much importance was given in Printing House-square, was—as it needed no ghost from the grave to tell us— " a slight missile sent from a playful hand," but, with an admirable gravity, baits its hook again for ano ther bite in the same quarter where it had in the first instance been ,:o successful. And our contempo rary, with some degree of ponderous jocularity, la bours to prove himself a little less frightened than before, when (as the Herald remarks in a paragraph which our contemporary did not include in his nume rous quotations therefrom on Wednesday morning) " he treated the menacing intelligence with a terrible anxiety to be cool, and devoted his serried columns, day after day, to explanations, affecting to laugh, and appearing very much like a traveller in some great, dark forest, whistling to keep his courage up, while looking backward and forward to see some frightful spectre at every turn." It is really "milking a ram" for a print professing to be "the leading journal of Europe," to address tself to refute such a bouncing hoax as the assertion that, when the aforesaid " playful missile" reached London, "the Prime Minister sent offs note instanter for the Duke of WELLINGTON—the Ministers ten dered their resignations—Lord STANLEY tried to form a new Cabinet in vain, and the politicians, so conservative, so grave, so self-confident in the Yeo manry and in the business population, did not even dare to venture on a general election, to form a new and reliable Government. England trembles from top to toe, and even the QUEEN, who has considerable nerve, was so much frightened, that Prince ALBERT regretted that an American newspaper con taining such alarming suggestions should have reached the shores of happy Albion ! Apprehensions of this character soon begat worse fears, and with the speed which an emergency only can create, thirty thousand brilliant bayonets bristled in the neighbour hood of Hyde-park, besides we know not how many parks of artillery were ready at a moment's call." Our contemporary has given the benefit of the im mense circulation which he enjoys to a full elucida tion of the marvellous treasures which are piled within the crystal walls of the matchless Palace of Industry, and that in a free end cordial spirit. It is, moreover, mainly, if not altogether, owing to his powerful pen that a check has been applied by the Commissioners of Police to that excessive nuisance the cab-extortion system, which, if permitted to riot un checked, would he found materially to interfere with the comfort and accommodation of a great number of visitors to the metropolis during the present memorable season. But we must be per mitted to say that a worthier occupation might be found than giving currency to humbug, which may leave an ineffaceable and alarming impression on the minds of many respectable aged females, besides affording a hearty laugh in New York at the capacity of gullet which exists in this instance on the part of the foremost journal of "the Britishers." We shall not enter now into a consideration of an article entitled " The World's Fair in London. Its Objects and the publi s h e d a l so i n t h e N ew York Herald of the 6th of May. We regret and pity the uncandid tone in which a string of fallacies, which may go down with the unthink ing or prejudiced among our Transatlantic kinsmen, are couched. It is much to be ap prehended that there is just a leetle spice of envy or disappointment lurking at the bottom. It is notorious to the world that the display of contributions in the American department in the edifice at Hyde -park is far behind that furnished by any other country ; in fact, to speak the word plainly, it is unanimously voted "shabby." Whose fault is this ? The great Republic is amply supplied with sources, natural and artificial, sufficient to have rendered her a proud com petitor with the states of the Old World at the "Fair of the Universe." And we confidently believe that it would have diffused a sincere and wide-spread pleasure amongst our own people had our Co lumbian kinsmen, or, as we may justly term them, our Anglo-Saxon brethren, come out with a little more strength and effect on such a great occasion. But there is no use in assum ing the airs of a discontented child, and scolding us in such terms as the following, which we extract without a further word of comment, trusting that we shall hear no more of a paper warfare which reflects no credit on either of the parties con cerned, both of whom, and one in particular, ought to know better than to make such an ado about nothimg " The British see that their supremacy is gone--that the glory of Ichabod is departed, and the cowed bully becomes the abject sycophant. England sees that her destiny is under our control." (!) " Our opinion, then, of this great show is, that it originated in selfishness; that it will not tend to advance peace throughout the vierld, as it was intended it should ; that it is a Yankee trick to make the :rest of the world contribute to England's wealth; that as far as arts and manufactures are concerned, it vill be a failure; and that, on the whole, it looks like a gigantic humbug." (! ! ) the lovely, the graceful, and the beautiful, and in a worship of the hideous, the awkward, and the un nal.ural. How this league of the extremes of folly againit common sense is to be carried out remains to be seen; whether Mr. CLARKE will give up his Puritanism to join the Pre - Raphaelites in their ultra-Catholicism, or whether, giving up their ultra- Catholicism, and deriving their inspiration from Mr. Rocuroxr CLARKE, they will found a new second commandment school of art, in which beauty shall be deemed blasphemy, and the least approach to nature sin, is as yet uncertain ; but that Clarkeism and Pre- Raphaelism are but different stages of the same disease, is, we thi n k , a b undantly evident. TH E FRENCH REPUBLIC. r _l!/ , e have re ce i ve d t h e Paris journals of yest er d ay . 'they all cont a i n l ong articles on the question of the revision of the Constitution, one of the most re markable of which is by M. DE LAMARTINE. In that article he distinctly states that it was the Legitimatist Deputies who, on the 24th of February, 1848, urged him to conclude his speech by proposing a provisional Government, and that having precipitated the monarchy of July into a republic, they now seek to plunge the republic into anarchy ; and he significantly reminds the BERRTERS, the DE FALLoux, and their clique, that on the 18 Fructidor, when the Legiti matists were intriguing and conspiring against the first Republic, the Directory crushed the treasonable conspiracy by seizing 53 of the, conspirators, with PICHEGRU at their head, and deporting them ; an act which was approved of by all France. He concludes by recommending the PRESIDENT to propose a repeal ofithe Electoral Law of the 81st May—that is, a return to universal suffrage, and to appoint a really Repub lican Ministry. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has a long article in the Presse on the intrigues of the Monarchists, which he concludes in the following terms : " The Republic will not be overturned, for to be so, monarchy should be re-established. But it is all over at present in France with the monarchy, for it could not there resume its course, four times interrupted, except in going back at least to 1750. A whole century fallen to ruins does not spring again into life. If Charles 11., brought back by Monk in 1659, could again raise up the throne in the place of the block on which the head of Charles I. fell in 1649, the reason was that in England only a king fell. The institutions remained standing ; the British aristocracy, the inequality of property, the rigime of substitutions had survived the protectorates of Oliver and Richard Cromwell. But is it so in France, where the right of the eldest son has been abolished, where equality of division in the property left has become part of the system, where the hereditary aristocracy has disappeared? The impossibility of re-establishing the monarchy is equivalent to the impossibility of over turning the Republic. No, it will nut be overturned, because it could not be replaced."

The Oregon accounts announce the discovery of a vein of coal on the Cowlitz river, eighteen miles from 7% es its junction with the Columbia, and about one mile from the main Cowlitz. The vein is two feet thick and about half 13. mile in width, fifteen feet above high water mark, and about forty feet below the surface of the bluff mountain.

The editor had seen a letter from a respectable souree, stating that the Indians had brought in a considerable quantity of gold dust, and represented that there was much more left. But this wants confirmation, as the Oregonians have discovered gold before in this way. Indian gold stories are not the most reliable. 94 The market for Public Securities has been very buoyant, and, contrary to the rumours circulated yester day, the Directors of the Bank of England have made no advance in the rate of discount.

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL v. LOFTUS. This was an action brought to recover of the defendant, Major Loftus, the sum of 516/. 18s. ad., us premiums paid by the plaintiff on policies of insurance on the life of the defendant, which had been assigned to plaintiff, defendant consenting to pay the premiums as they be came due. Evidence was adduced to show that arrears were due to the amount claimed and had been paid by the plaintiff. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. FALSE IMPRISONMENT—GRAFTON V. WILTON. This was an action to recover damages for false im prisonment. Defendant having suffered judgment to go by default, the present was for inquiry to assess damages. It appeared by the evidence that plaintiff was a ser vant girl, i❑ the service of a gentleman named Burgess, who was residing at plaintiff's house, at Kingsland, until a house which ho had purchased opposite was com pleted, and during the time defendant, who was of eccen tric habits, frequently complained of being robbed, and had made allegations against many persons. Few per sons appeared to have given much credence to her state ments, or accounted for the loss by the defendant invit ing water-cress girls and others into the house. Mrs. Burgess, who was called, proved that defendant had given the girl in charge for stealing a shawl and some trinkets, but as she (Mrs. Burgess) did not doubt plain tiff's honesty, she retained her in her service notwith standing the charge; but on a previous occasion she (Mrs. Burgess) had discharged a charwoman, who de fendant alleged bad robbed her. Plaintiff had said that defendant stole the witness's coals, and that appeared to rankle in defendant's mind. The plaintiff was taken before the magistrates, and discharged immediately after her father's house had been searched. The jury, after a short deliberation, gave a verdict for 101. damages. --- MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY ) George Collins and William Collins, William Stapleton and 'William Holdsworth, Henry Fame, John Darke, and John Gore, who were severalty convicted of common nuisance, by keeping wharfs in the parish of Padding ton, for the collection and accumulation of dust and manure, &c., were called on their bail to receive judg ment. But after a few remarks from the Learned Judge, sentence was deferred further to next sessions. William Enser, a middle-aged man of respectable ap pearance, was convicted of corruptly taking a reward for the restoration of a stolen dog, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment under the late Act. The other cases tried this morning were destitute of interest. NOT SO BAD AS WE SEEM: or, MANY SIDES TO A CHARACTER. A Comedy, in Fine Acts. By Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart. Chapman and Hall. Under ordinary circumstances, our attention could not fail to be attracted by a new dramatic composi tion from the hand of this illustrious author, the poet novelist of our generation. Produced as the present comedy is, however, under auspices so remarkable in their character, and so beneficent in their tendency, it is impossible for the critic to do otherwise than welcome it with a very peculiar earnestness. After reading through the whole of this singular produc tion, it remains no longer a matter of uncertainty a 3 to whom individually writers and painters are alike indebted for the suggestion, and altimately also for the foundation, of the Guild of Art and Literature. In many generous sentiments,in many touching allusions, in many elevated ideas, relating to the condition et the unsuccessful labourers at the desk and at the easel—sentiments, allusions, and ideas scattered pro fusely thr oug h the pages here under consideration -- we may recognise the pulsations of that noble hear! , in which this scheme of magnanimity may be said, in the first instance, to have originated. Whatever waY have since been accomplished in the way of its pru" motion, whatever may henceforth be achieved with view to its ult er i or and perfect development, to Sir BULWER LYTT ON w ill b e l ong the g l or y of having elicited these timely tributes of pathy, and sometimes too of admiration. As con' elusive testimony of this, we refer not so much t° his grant of land to the projected institution, or to the circumstance of his having proposed the under' taking to several of his distinguished contemporari es at a time when they were partaking of his hospitalitie s at Knebworth, as to the internal evidence afforded by the brilliant effusion just published. Without anY: thing beyond a merely cursory allusion to the foci' that the comedy before us was acted a few nights since at D evons hi re Il ouse ( as the title-page i tse lf records) in the p resence o f h er M a j esty and his R o yal Highness the Prince Albert, we shall restrict our ob servations entirely to an examination of its dramati c efficiency and of its general characteristics se 8 literary performance. Charles Dickens and his awe; teur company will, we are rejoiced to think, lint adequate recomp ense f or th e i r exertions, not so mac' in the appl a u se accor d e d to t h e display of their his" trionic abilities as in the remembrance that tbei were the foremost among the supporters of the scheme submitted to them for acceptance or refusal by Ou r gifted dramatist. Were any tribute wanting to the exalted patrician who has already evinced so much solicitude for the furtherance of the undertaking, b e ' yond that flowing from his own conscience and from the appreciation of the more discerning multitude , it would be discoverable in the aspiration so gracefully expressed by Sir Edward i n his simple but s ugges ti ve Dedication—" May each loftier Cultivator of Art and Letters, whom the Iv stitution established under your auspices may shelter from care and penury, see on its cornerstone you r princely name, and perpetuate to distant times the affectionate homage it commands from ourselves. With such emphatic acknowledgments of the share taken by others in the organization of the Guild, does its author preface the dramatic work which is destined to be the germ of its resources. Nothing , we are bold to say, could by possibility be more ad" mirable than the conception of the comedy '+ and the manner in which that conception 131 " been bodied forth is in a very great measure of commensurate excellence. Those who mat erroneously imagine that the same masterly delinea tion of female character which has embellished the previous dramas of Sir Bulwer Lytton may be per; ceived in the composition now lying under review, will, of course, as it were by necessity, meet only with disar pointment. In extenuation of this should be minor bered the circumstance that the play has been penned for the especial advantage of a body of amateur come' diens, and that consequently but little opportunity presented itself for the gratification of this skill in poetic portraiture. The various abilities of the play' wright have, nevertheless, in no other particular failed in their most complete and most satisfac^ tory manifestation. Upon the principal personages among the very numerous and motley dramatti persons, an extraordinary amount of energy, a passion, and of world-knowledge has been expended. The construction of the plot reveals an undiminished facility of invention, or rather, we might say, an in genuity of contrivance which practice has perfected to an adroitness absolutely incomparable. London has been wisely selected as the scene of the incidents, and those incidents are comprised within the narrow but ample compass of little more than from afternoon to afterncon. By choosing the reign of King George I. as the date of his comedy, the dramatist has enabled himself to depict one of those literary unfortunates who were the objects alternately of Steele's pity and despair, or of Pope's contempt and indignation. David Fallen will rank henceforth among the most memorable creations of that Genius who has called into being, among a multitude of others, such ideal existences as Zanoni the Rosicrucian, as Dali bard the Schemer, as Brandon the Man of Ambi tion, and Pelham the Man of Fashion—minds like those of the eccentric Warner, the reckless Clifford, the vulgar Copperas, and the dreaming Maltravers. The lesson which Sir Bulwer Lytton has undertaken to teach in the five acts of this admirable comedy is of a nature as humanizing as the indirect pur pose of the comedy is benevolent. He endea vours—and his endeavour is charmingly successful throughout —to show that we, the people of society, the units in an artificial aggregate, the children of an elevating but often effeminating civili zation, are Not so Bad as We Seem, or, as the second title more directly and emphatically intimates, that there are Many Sides to a Character. Like this globe of ours on which we live, rolling through space ball in light and half in darkness, the circle of our own na tures is chequered by peculiarities as arresting in vi vidness, and the consideration of which is as inte resting to the humanitarian as that of the former 11 to the student of ethics and astronomy. Inspired by this beneficent reflection, Sir Bulwer Lytton has contrived to reveal in the most despised and appa rently the most d es pi ca bl e those traits OL goodness which are in each of us the rem' nants of that divine talisman, blurred and broken it may be, our Similitude to the Divinity. Affording in this manner a new and exquisite illus tration of the power by which the true poet, like the bee, " with sense so subtly true From poisonous herbs extracts the healing dew." Thus in the Grub-street Author, laden down by calamities, s t eepe d to t h e li p i n squal o r, gre y in ignominy, spat upon in all men's estimation as the hireling traducer, the venal satirist, and the mer cenary pamphleteer, he has disclosed inexhaustible springs of virtues the most pure and el evate d , o f of self-sacrifi ce , of amenity, of despair, o f courage in the o e end d h u o r p a e n e c v e e , n o of n the forgiveness, jaw : agonies of destitution and abasement. David Fallen, as painted by the master-hand of Sir Bulwer Lytton, David Fallen, hitherto generically regarded as the outcast both of society and of litera ture,may henceforth, we belie ve , b e in some measure if be be not actually r es p ected, his conquest of loved temptation may secure sympathy if it do not abso lutely command reverence. Here is his own sorrow ful but bitter epitome of th e m i series he bad endured while sinking from the h e i g h ts of the sublimest aspira tions a down rdilia n to the o u depths, e )(fa p e nniless obscurity— ,H both Whig and J aco bi te; d o ~ yservo you either her :• F politician 1 what has either cared care oilen t . h_ en so for eer e i for me ?

In a subsequent scene, where Wilmott, disguised as Curl], the bookseller, endeavours to bribe David Fallen to pa r t w i t h a calumnious manuscript by pro mising to hand over to him three hundred guineas— one of the most artistically conceived and exqui sitely written portions of the comedy—the unfortunate bookmau vindicates the innate goodness BRITISH ILAILWAYB. gallwayL i PI Aberdeen.. ..

Madrid journals of the 16th have arrived. The elections are over, and the majority returned are Ministerialists. It is said that the Cr'overnment will propose Senor MAYANS as President of the Chamber of Deputies. The Narvaez party will propose MON. PORTUGAL. The Madrid _Heraldo states that SALDANHA has addressed the following proclamation to the inhabi tants of Lisbon : " Inhabitants of Lisbon I—The flag which I have had the honour to unfurl is so eminently national that as soon as it was known that flag was adopted in all parts of the kingdom in the most sincere, frank, and decided manner. Let us consolidate the throne of her Majesty the Queen Donna Maria 11. and her dynasty; let us re form the constitutional charter; let us have really free elections, in order that we may be enabled to have a truly national representation, and justice, liberty, morality, and economy, in the place of the immorality, corruption, and robbery that have been proclaimed as the theory of Government. " In a few days I hopo to be among you : I know that the agents of a corrupt and corrupting Minister await that moment to give utterance to seditious cries. It' this should be done I shall seize the first who shall be bold enough to do so, and deliver him up to the au thorities, that he may be punished. I am fully con vinced of the nationality of the banner which I have displayed; persuaded as I am that my countrymen of Lisbon know me, I feel certain that they will do me the justice to believe that I will employ every means in my power to cause the city to be respected. " The Make of SALDA.NRA. "Head-quarters, Oporto, May 9, 1851." The same journal contains the following accoun Of SALDANISA'S movements "On the 6tki the Marshal went, with the 9th and 14th Regiments pf Infantry, a battalion of the 13th, and the 3d Chsyseurs, to Coimbra, where he was received with enthusiasm. On the 7th he was at Agueda, and on the Bth at Carvalbo, and the same evening returned to Oporto. On the 9th he commenced embarking troops for Lisbon. The corps that will accompany the Duke are the Ist, sth, and 7th Chasseurs, the Ist, 2d, and 6th Infantry, and the Queen's Grenadiers. The Duke is to embark on the 10th, and will probably enter Lisbon on the 12th." GERMANY. On the lath an imperial rescript was issued at Vienna restricting the amount of paper circulation, and ordering the adoption of measures for the gra dual withdrawal of Government notes. GREE CE. The Augsburgh Gazette has the following from Athens, dated the 6th :—" The Minister of Finance presented to the Senate a Bill, demanding a credit of 113,420 drachmas, to increase the salaries of the Ephores and other employes in the finance depart ment, which measure was rejected. The father of the Minister voted against h im , an d the Minister then tendered his resignation, which w as accepted. His colleagues told him that they must seek a better support than he was able to give them, since even his own father voted against him. General TzevELLus, who also voted against the Ministry, has had his pay reduced by one half; it is said that be will be sent into Acarnania, to fight against the brigands." ITALY. A letter from Rome says that every day brings a new event. On the 11th a French soldier was stabbed in one of the most populous quarters. General GEMEAU has published a proclamation, of which the following is the analysis. After mention ing the different attacks upon French soldiers, the General suppresses all permissions to carry arms. Fire-arms, swords, and poniards, were to be given up before the 17th. After that date domiciliary visits were to take place, and every inhabitant found in the possession of arms is to be tried by court-martial Owners of houses are to be held responsible for the arms which may be found in them. Persons carry ing sword-canes are to be arrested by the patrols, and kept in prison until they have paid a fine of 14 Roman crowns. On the day when this proclama tion was issued a person was assassinated at the cor ner of the Yin Condotti, only 100 yards from the residence of General GEMEAU. The Piedmonkse Gazette of the 17th publishes the law on the accumulation of offices. By this law a functionary cannot fill two offices paid by the State, unless in the following cases :—When the salary of a public office does not amount to 8,000 fr., an office depending from the department of Public Instruetion may be added to it, provided it does not encroach upon the time allotted to the former one. Professors may enjoy two offices belonging to the department of Public Instruction. In such cases the smaller salary is reduced by one-third, when the sum total of the salaries exceeds 5,000 f. The Memb e r s o f th e Sani tary Corps may also enjoy two offices on th e same conditions. Non-commissioned officers and soldi ers of the corps of veterans and invalids are not subjected to any restrictions with respect to the places they may have in the various public bureaux. No func tionary in active s e r v i c e is allowed to enjoy, besides, a lite interest or pension payable by the State for former services. Professors' fees, however, are exempted from these restrictions, as well as salaries attached to theo rder of St. Maurice and Lazarus, and other orders DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FORd the Prince Con sort, THE ISLE O F WIOSIT.—(THIS PAY.)

SEIZURE OF AN ILLICIT DISTILLERY.--Yesterday morning the detective officers of Inland Revenue, Messrs. Scott, Elmy, and Pargeter, proceeded to a house, No. 7, St. James'seplace, Chapel-street, Sh c reditch. They found the front door open, a female being: engaged cleaning the steps leading thereto. Having entered the house, they soon discovered that they were on the right scent, and in a back room they discovered a copper still erected, and charged ready for commencing the process of distillation. Abother copper still was in the room, but this was unset, and was evidently intended for the purpose of rectification of the spirits produced from the other still. Upon going into the place they discovered a man engaged in setting molasses wash for working, who was immediately taken into custody, and who gave the name of Henry Montague. The officers found a small quantity of spirits fort 27 per cent. over proof; about a hundred gallons of molasses wash, that was destroyed, and the usual description of utensils.. A communication for the discharge of the waste wash had been made from the cellar to the common sewer, in a very ingenious manner, by means of a surreptitious pipe, and WI, whole place was ad mirably adapted for carrying on the trade. The whole was conveyed to Broad-street warehouses. The following paragraph, from the Southern Cross (published at Auckland, New Zeal and) of the 31st of De cember, illustrates the effect of the Californian traffic in altering the route of communication. with the Austrian colonies. The vessel alluded to is owned by a Liverpool house, and had previously perform ed some remarkable voyages. In the present instance, cs the sailing distance between San rancisco and Auckland is estimated at not less than 6,000 mil es , s h e must h ave k ep t up a speed of 207 miles a day through ou t th a t last passage ;:—" On Saturday our citizens were s t ar tl e d b y an ex: t ra ordinarylN ovelty, , port the barque of that name having arrived in Francisco in the sh or t s p ace o f t we nty-nine days, from San and bring ing London news of the 2d and New York news to the 14th of October.

IN CENDIARI.M.—The Dowdstown National School (county of Louth), of which Mr. N. Callan is the patron, was burnt maliciously on Sunday night, between the hours of twelve and one. The house and every article it contained, including books, maps, desks, and forms, were totally con sumed. No reason can be assigned for the disgraceful act. Mr. Callan is a gentl eman o f kindly disposition, and gives a great deal of employment to the rural population of his neighbourhood, and for many years has expended a good deal of money to provide the children in education, and for which the resent act is a poor return.—Droyheda Con servative. 4I BEV6 1 i • op ( `h
