Previous to the dinner a deputation, consisting of 40 officers of the department, waited upon Sir James M'Grigor for the purpose of presenting a •aledictory address upon his retirement from the office of director general. The address, which was read by Dr. Skey, Inspector-general of hospitals, expressed in very strong language the sense ehtertained by the department of the services of their late chief, and of the zeal and ability with which he had conducted the important office of director-general for thirty-six years.

FRENCH PLAYS. Last evening was the second of the engagement of Madile. Rachel, and she played the part of Roxane, in. Bajazet. The character of Roxeno is n compound of imperious haughtiness, combined with tha most biting and sarcastic irony; and Madlle. Rachel delivered the cutti❑g sarcasms with which the part abounds with the most withering effect, whilst she was, at the sante time, the most fierce and imperious of tyrants. She played with immense power, and made every point tell -most effectively. The houso was crowded, and the perform ance wan applauded to the echo. ROYAL PAIINCESS'S THEATRE. A five act version, ley Mr. Slous, the wither of the Templar, of Alexandre Dumas' LMadcmoistlle de Belle isle, which was some few years since one of Madlle. Plessy's most popular impersonations at the St. James's Theatre, and in which Madlle Rachel is, we are told, shortly to appear, was produced at the Royal Princess's last night, under the title of the Duke's Wager. This is not, however, the first adaptation of this play that has apppeared on the English stage. Some ten or twelve years since a version of it was produced at Drury lane, under the title of 4 Night in the Bastille, on which occasion poor Elton and Mrs. Stirling sus tained the characters which were last night per formed by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean. The scene is laid at Chantilly during the early part of the reign of Louis XV., and at the opening of the play we find the Duke de Richelieu (Mr. Alfred Wigan) on a visit to ;he Marchioness de St. Prie (Mrs. Winstanley), formeri;r a flame of his, but which said flame has long since, so :*ar as ho is concerned, been extinguished. In the very recklessness of profligacy he offers a bet to the young nobles, by whom helis surrounded, that he will induce the first lady they meet to grant him an assignation in her chamber at midnight. Now it so happens that the first lady they meet is Mademoiselle Lestelle de Belle Isle (Mrs. Charles Kean), who has come to Chantilly to solicit the aid of the Marchioness de St. Prie in obtaining for her an interview with her father the Marquis do Belle Isle, who is confined in the Bas tille; the Marchioness, who has her own reasons for seeking an interview with Richelieu, procures for Les telle an order to visit the Bastille, and when Lestelle has set off for Paris meets Richelieu in Lestelle's chamber. This trick of comedy, however, threatens to end very tragically, for Leon St. Mars (Mr. Charles Kean), the betrothed of Lestelle, has seen Richelieu descending at midnight from the window of the chamber occu pied by Lestelle, and having known of the bet and staked his honour on the fidelity of his ladyo love, he becomes in a state of frenzy. Ile seeks Lestelle and taxes her with her infidelity, she indignantly denies the accusation and appeals to Richelieu, who coolly says that certainly the interview did take place, but that if the lady desires it he will for her sake deny it. The un- I fortunate Lestelle, conscious of her own innocence, yet not daring to reveal where she had passed the night, sinks senseless to the ground overcome by the agony of her feelings. This scene was admirably acted; the cool nonchalance of Wigan, as Richelieu, contrasting with and setting off most effec tively the intensely impassioned acting of Mr. I and Mrs. Charles Kean. St. Mars then chal lenges Richelieu, but the arrangement is overheard, and both are arrested and not released until a promise has been extorted from each that the proposed duel shall not take place. St. Mars is not,.however, to he baulked of his revenge, and he propeses that they shall throw the dice to ascertain who of the two shall commit suicide. The offer is accepted and St. Mars loses; Richelieu treats the whole as a joke, but tilt. Mars prepares to die; he pays a last! visit to Lestelle; but in the meantime a change of Ministry has taken place, her father is released from the Bastille, and restored to high office, there is no longer any necessity for secresy, and every thing is explained. St. Mars, however, still feels him self bound, as a man of honour, to commit suicide, and a highly-wrought scene ensues between hire and Les toile, which is, however, brought to a conclusion by the entrance of the Duke de Richelieu, who acknowledges that he had been mistaken in supposing that he had had an interview with Medic, de Belle Lie, and satisfies the sensitive St. Mars that there is no necessity whatever for him to commit suicide ; an opinion in which St. Mars seems to agree, and so commits matrimony instead. The translator has judici ously elaborated the tragical portions of the original and kept down the light parts, thus making an iateresting drama out of what was originally intended as a high comedy. The pathetic and impassioned acting of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean carried the play triumphantly through, and its announcement for repetition was re ceived with enthusiastic applause by a house crowded to the ceiling. At the conclusion Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean were oalled on. The mounting of the play was perfect RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE TION or 1851.—The following notice has just been issued by the Great Western Railway Company, and duly signed by Mr. Saunders, the secretary:—" The directors of the Great Western Railway Company hav ing resolved to allow to each of the (Beers, clerks, and servants on the establishment of this company leave of absence for four days, to visit the Exhibition, and a free pass to and from London for that purpose, to be used at some period during the months of July, August, or September, the superintendents of the London and Bristol divisions, and the heads of . departments, are re quired to make out a list of all in their respective dis tricts or offices, fixing to each person a particular date and period of leave of absence, which is to be mainly de termined by the exigencies of the service. The arrange ments for leave must be so made as, in every instance to inscire the proper performance of every duty, and duo caution for the safety of trains, &e., the numbers leaving at any time being limited, so that others may undertake their duties during their absence. The directors, sub ject to- this condition, wish that the convenience of the oldest servants should be first ascertained and consulted, and as far as practicable, the arrangement for leave, dis tributed over the three months, should bo made in a manner most suitable to the objects of all the company's officers, clerks, and other servants." CHEAP RAILWAY TRAVELLING.—The Bristol and Exeter Railway &rectors offer a Whitsuntide trip, to Weston-super-Mare and back, at a price almost un paralleled in the annals of railway travelling, namely, 40 miles for eighteen-pence.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. - We have received by the arrival in the Mtrsey this evening of the Liverpool and United States mail steam-ship Arctic, Luce Commander, from New York, Our usual dispatches from that city of the 24th ult. She encountered fine weather during her run, and arrived in tt•e river at 5 20 P.At., bzinging 160 passengers, 470,000 dolls. specie on freight, and the usual mails. The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Com stock, with Livtrpucl mails of the 14th ult., arrived out at New York on the 24th, at 5 30 p.m., after a remarkably fast run of 10 days 12 hours and 40 mi nutes, mean time. _ The United States mail steam-ship Ohio, with 1,240,000 dolls. specie on freight, the San Francisco mail of April 15th, Chagres mails of the 14th ult., and Havannah of the 17th, arrived at New York on the night of the 21st; and the N. Scott, with 19,724 dolls. specie on freight, on the 22d ult. From the United States our political accounts by this arrival are not important, except as they prove the growing popularity of the Hon. D. Webster as a candidate for the Presidency. He had delivered at Buffalo several splendid orations, advocating the cause of Union. Letters from Baltimore of the 22d ult. state that twenty-five men arrested in Florida as Cuba conspi rators had arrived there, and add that during the previous month 1,500 suspicious men had been on the coast, but had dispersed. The United States Cabinet had published the new apportionment table of representatives under the new census; it gives New York thirty-two members. A clipper ship of large tonnage was about to be built in New York for British capitalists, in order to meet the competitioi. in the China trade. The screw steam-ship City of Pittsburg, for the Philadelphia and Liverpool station, would be launched at New York in four weeks. Mr. Martin P. Tupper and M. Cabet, the Icarian philosopher, are passengers to Liverpool in the Arctic. Adviccs from Boston of the 23d ult. say the Hon. Caleb Cushing has introduced into the Legislature a Bill to aid in the construction of the European and North American Railway, authorising an issue of State scrip to the amount of 500,000 dollars, bear ing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, payable semi-annually, and the principal redeemable in twenty years, for the use and benefit of the said road whenever it shall be organized, with 1,000,000 stock subscribed for and 500,000 dolls. paid in. The State of Maine has made a similar grant of 500,000 dolls. in money scrip, or an equivalent form, satisfac tory to the Governor and Council. It was thought there the Bill would pass. Letters from Toronto of the 23d ult. announce that the Government had on that day suffered a defeat in the Legislative Assembly, in resisting a motion to introduce a Bill for preventing the expenditure of public money not previously authorised by the Par liament, and for restraining the granting of pensions. It was the first division of the session, and the votes stood '26 to 25. The address in answer to the Royal Speech was carried without a division. A boy had been carried over the Niagara Falls. Letters from Ohio (three days later) of the 18th of April state that Brazil had declared the slave•trade piracy, but give no details. Letters from Tehuantepec, Mexico, received at New Orleans, state that the Mexicans had refused to allow the landing of cargo e the United States. Other accounts state that great excitement prevailed, and that the passengers by an American steamer had been detained. Accounts from the city of Mexico of the 3d ult., received in New York via ICew Orleans, isy tele graph, confirm the report, but give no information on the &ffairs of Mexico. Other letters from the capital of Mexico, dated the 26th of April, and Vera Cruz the Ist ult., state that a loan from the United States Government was in contemplaticm. The Universal of the 24th of April says : " The House of Representative a approved yesterday th© resolution taken by the Senate to grant 80 days' re spite to the committee of both bri zilches to try to effect arrangements of compromise with . the public creditors." The Cabinet of Mexico have granted a respite of six months to the company which was engaged to establish the line of wires for a magnetic telegraph communicating between Vera Cruz and Mexico.

They are both men of considerable talent, and although of different names, their parentage is the same. CLACKMANNAN AND KINROSS ELECTION.—The, nomination of candidates to supply the vacancy created • in; these united counties by the death of General Morison, took place on Tuesday at Dollar, where an im mense assemblage; of people were collected from all the neighbouring towns and villages, the greatest interest being excited in Mr. Adam, younger, of Blair-Adam, and Mr. Johnstone, of Alva. She riff Tait having read the writ, Mr. H a i g , o f D o ll ar fi e ld, se conded by Mr. Morrison, of Smithfield, proposed Mr. John-, stone; and Mr. Stein of Hattonburn, seconded by Captain. Christie proposed Mr. Adam. The two candidates then ad di eased the electors at great length. Both professed them selves to be Liberals and Free-traders, and were loudly! cheered by their respective partisans. A show of hands was, then taken by the Sheriff, which was declared to be in fa vour of Mr. Johnstone. A poll was demanded, and the polling is fixed for Thursday and Friday. The contest wilt be a very keen one. PRICE OF REFRESHMENTS AT THE EIHIBITION.--' The following incident is stated to have occurred on one of 6 , the shilling days" last week :—" A group of French artifi cers of a superior kind: --apparently goldsmiths and jewellers, from the attention which they paid to the display of British manufacture from Storr and Mortimer's, and Dierel's, and from the criticism they passed on it, moved towards the door • and one of them, mustering up his best English, in quired, ' Am I defended to return once mores?' The police man on duty, with quick philological promptness, under stood the man, and replied, If you go out, you can't come in without paying again. Whereupon there was a universal shrugging up of shoulders among the party, who expressed to each other their violent sensations of hunger and thirst. The spokesman, again addressing the policeman, asked if there was anything to be had to eat? whereupon X 25 with great gravity pointed out to the refreshment alley; and, with hands dug deep in their breeches pockets, the foreignerB strode away, till they halted full in front of the sandwiches and cherry brandy.

SUR-MARINE .TELEGRAPII.--A company has been formed for the purpose of organizing a regnar communica tion barattb-marine telegraph between England and France. It will; be recollected that last autumn an experiment was laadeivbich, as far as it tested the- pmc'icability of the un dertaking, was quite satisfactory ; owing, however, to the slenderness of the line, the wire with the gutta percha cover ing nct being more than half an inch in diameter, it was found tube badly calculated for a certain permanent com munication, and the new company proposes to remedy this hymn:ming the wire in a covering capable of resisting the action of the anchors of the largest ships. Mr. Jacob Brett, who Laid the line down from Dover to Cape Grinea last nu tamnahas obtained from the French Government the exclu sive right to carry on sub-marine communications between England.and France for ten years ; and all his rights are: to be vested in the company. The success of the company is not merely a question of national but European isterest, and we all lOok forward with interest to the day when, by its means, a conversation can be carried on between London and Paris, or with the difference of a second or two bete reen Liverpool and Trieste. REEUCTION IN EARL FITZWILLIAM'S RENTS.—The %Rowing is a copy of a circular which has been deliverod to Earl Fitawilliam's tenants on the Wentworth estate The re-adjustment of the rents on the Wentworth estate hr wing now been completed, Lord Fitzwilliam has directed that, at the approaching May rent-days, they should be received upon she new scale. He has also directed that an allowance of the excise paid in November last should be made to each t, inant whose then payment exceeded the sum which would have been due by him upon the ne w sca l e. H e ma k es thi s a (low ance because it was his view that the re-adjustment should have been made half-a-year earlier, but circumstances did not afford opportunity of entering upon the necessary inves tigation. Lord Fitzwilliam thinks it possible that the change may be considered insufficient by some of the tenants, who may have been led to entertain very extravagant expecta tions; he has confidence, however, that his tenants will bear in mind that while the reduced value of some agricul tural produce tends to a reduction of rent, that effect is in some degree opnteracted by the reduction of the prices of most articles consumed or paid for by the farmer or his fa mily. Lord Fitzwilliam's intention has been to be ju s t his tenants, and at the same time to himself." The acale of reduction, it is understood, is about t u 1. per cent. per annum.

CHARITABLE PURCHASE DEEDS.--A Bill has been brought into the House of Commons, by Mr. slullings, Mr. Coles, and Mr. Heald, " for further remedying a defect in the titles of lands purchased for charitable purposes, and for ob- Viating difficulties as to copyhold or customary lands con veyed for such purposes." The principal clauses of the Bill are to the effect, that purchase deeds of lands for charitable purposes should be valid, although formalities of the Mort main Act should not have been complied with ; that bona _f i de -purchases- fur charitable uses should not ba void merely by reason of reservations, &c., to the grantor; but other formalities and requisitions will not be dispensed with, and the Act will not dispense with formalities in future deeds. In the case of copyholds or customary hereditaments being made over to charitable purposes, it will be sufficient that such charitable uses be declared by some deed forming part of the transaction, and properly attested and enrolled. The Act will hot extend to deeds avoided by suits. MERCHANT SEAMSN.—The accounts of the corpo ration for the relief of mercant seamen and their widows and children for the year 18L0 have been published. The amount of duty from London vessels amounted to 10,5.80/., and that from vessels of other ports to 6,3711. The total gross receipts were 18,9051., and the amount produced from the Old South Sea Annuities, 2,8651. The pensions paid amounted to 18,878/., and the temporary relief to 1,8591. The cost of maoagemeat was 2,448/. TEE ARREST OF AnscoNDING DEnrotts.--Yester day some amendments to the Bill to arrest absconding debtors were printed by order of the House of Lords. The sbiect of this Bill is to enable creditors to arrest their debtors when there is reason to believe that they are about to abscond. For the want of some such power property is made away with before the parties can be captured. The Bill is to be further considered ia the House of Lords on I ridgy. ( .o. .f.. i THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1851. LITERATURE. ! COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. HER MAJESTY'S EXPECT ED VISIT TO THE CITY. Yesterday a special court was held for the purpose of receiving from the committee in relation to the Great Exhibition " a report, with a plan and estimate for fitting up the Guildhele and for a grand ball, upon the occasion of the Exhibition, at an expeuse not exceeding 5,2501." The court was crowded with members. All strangers were excluded, in accordance with the practice adopted upon occasions when matters connected with the Sovereign are taken into consideration. We are given to understand that Mr. Dakin, the chair man of the committee, brought up the following report, which was received most enthusiastically : TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND COMMONS, OF THE CITY OF LON DON, IN COMMON COUNCIL ASSEMBLED. " We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, your com mittee in relation to the Exhibition of the Works of Indus try of all Nations, to whom, on the 26th day of May last, our report then presented was referred back, for the purpose of affording the Court further information more in detail, and also empowering us to ascertain, in the usual official manner, if her Majesty will h o n our this corporation with her Royal presence at an evening entertainment in the Guildhall of this city, and to report thereon, do certify that, in unison with accustomed practice and the above mentioned resolution of this honourable Court, we re quested the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the Sheriffs, attended by the Remembrancer, to wait upon her Majesty, and, in the name of the Court, humbly to request that her Majesty would vouchsafe to honour them with her presence at an evening entertainment in the Guildhall of this city, on such day and at such time as her Majesty might be graciously pleased to appoint, in consequence of which an appointment has been ob tained for an interview with her Majesty on Saturday next, the 7th instant, to receive the official answer, her Majesty having been pleased to express her intention of visiting this city, and of appointing Wednesday, the 2d July next, for the purpose. " That upon receiving this information of her Majesty's intention from the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, in order that no time might be lost for proceeding with the arrangements for a due and suitable reception of her Majesty, we referred it to the architect to consider the same, and to report to us the particulars, in detail as far as the shortness of the time would permit his so doing, and we have since received a report from him, which is as followse— " TO THE WORSHIPFUL EXIILSITION ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE." " Gentlemen—ln conformity with your instructions, I beg to lay before you the detail of the estimate I sub mitted on the 23d of last month : To laying down the temporary flooring joists, &c., on the pavement of the Guildhall entrance, lobbies, and crypt, and afterwards removing and stowing away the same, consisting of about 16,000 superficial feet £2OO To the formation and cost of use and waste of about 10,600 superficial feet of flooring and joists to fit up as refreshment rooms, the kitchen, passages, and court yard at the north end of Guildhall RE3IINISENCES of a NAVAL OFFICER, during the late War, with Sketches and Anecdotes of Distinguished Commanders. By Captain Crawford, R. N. Mueh as hes hen said and published upon the mighty events which will one day make the history of the wars in Europe, at the end of the last and the commencement of the present century, one of unsurpassed interest, not only by the many heroic deeds which crowded upon one another in a comparatively short period of time, but also. by the number of truly great men whose talents were then brought into play, and whose efforts achieved for them a noble and imperishable fame,—we must needs admit that there are innumerable 'instances of deeds worth recording and unrecorded, of men almost un- Known, however deserving of a statue in the temple of immortality, and how could it be otherwise, when so many rush on in the same course, performing in mag nanimous emulation acts which, if taken singly would be deemed sublime, but which must yield in the aggregate to those of the fortunate winner of the race, which, in such cases is not merely to the swift, but to the first among the swift! It behoves us, then, not to be un mindful of the noble efforts of those who, but for one smile the less from the fickle goddess, Fortune, might have been in the proud situation that all aim at, while one alone carries off the palm. It is with such reflections, and with a feeling ranging between admiration for the noble and daring spirit of the actors in the drama before us, and the straege yet natural satisfaction of knowing that we were dealing with mortals somewhat less elevated above our ordinary sphere, that we read the above work by Captain Craw ford, and from the dignified yet unassuming tone which pervades its pages, we are inclined to think he will side with us in the view we take of the subject. The inci dents he narrates, though inseparable from the most me morable events of the last greet European war, are, though full of interest, subordinate to the main action. The men to whom:ire are introduced, are for the most part second in command to those more fortunate leaders, who have deservedly and universally been pro nounced the heroes of their times, and we fully parti cipate in what we deem the writer's feeling that some thing, nay much, is due to those who by a zealous dis charge of the duties intrusted to them, have so mainly contributed to the successful issue of the contest, and he invites our sympathy, our gratitude for their otten un requited, at least as regards renown, noble deeds. Let us then for a moment follow the writer of these volumes, we had well nigh said the hero, from his ad mission into the service, to that portion of his life in which he closes his narrative. First, we find him a mid shipman in his Majesty's service, exchanging the scenes of a quiet peaceful home for the hardships of life at sea, passing through the long and painful ordeal of that un enviable station, with patient endurance and untired energy, and right pleased we are in time to find him capering with joy (a not very heroic process, but a very natural one) at receiving from my Lords of the Admiralty the glad tidings of his promotion to the rank and station of a lieutenant and a gentleman. With him we cruise, fight, explore, land where and when we can (an amphibious animal is the sailor), and after a variety of adventures of all kinds, a glance at some of the great actors in the mighty struggle which placed this country in her present proud position at land and sea, we at last congratulate him on his promotion to the rank of commander, and can but praise the noble ioding which induced him to record the fact, that to the spirited advocacy of his claims by a superior, he was in debted for that reward of his exertions, a circumstance equally honourable to both parties. Thus, then, we consider this work a fair tribute paid in many instances to unknown merit, and we rejoice to find in it anecdotes and particulars highly interesting from their illustrating or revealing many peculiarities of the service, to which public atteihion should be directed, and finally we re commend it as an amusing, companionable book, and whose least merit is not that it is well written. Indeed we cannot but aimire the talent displayed in this re spect, by men whose whole time and best energies have so long ez,d exclusively been devoted to a career which could hardly be supposed to foster and encourage a taste for literature.

Ne'er Think that I'll Forget Thee. And must We then in Silence Meet? The Words and Music b 3 Mrs. Gilbert A'Beckett.—Thesc very pleasing songs, ihough some what trite in their titles, have a freshness of sentiment about them that should not be overlooked. The words are particularly harmonious, and are rendered doubly so by the very pensively graceful airs to which they ar© arranged. The following ones also—Do not Smile, and It is o'er, that Happy Dream. The words of the former by J. D. Douglas, Esq., and of the latter by Bertie Vyse, Esq., both set to music by Mrs. Gilbert A'Beckett —are in every way worthy of their fair composer, com bining as they do suavity with spirit, and tenderness with vigour. Do not Smile is a charming ballad, full of grace and meaning. Of the Erinueraeg an Berlin and Ilerbstblumen Waltzers, it needs only to be announced that they are the productions of Joseph Labitskv. A series of ballads, entitled Home Gift Songs, the poetry by F. W. N. Bayley, Eich and the music by eminent composers, happy in the choice of subjects and versatile in style, forms a very unique offering for do mestic circles. These songs are all more or less cheer ful, adapted to voices of moderate compass. The numbers of the Musical Treasury sustain un flaggingly their character of " judicious miscellanies." The selection is so choice and varied as to suit every taste, from the gravest to the gayest, from the invidious to the most reflective. Among the recent parts it has been quite a little musical feast to meet with " The Happy Change," by Henry Russell; " The Cry from the Courts," written by our old established favourite, E . L. Blanchard; also, compciod by Rtp.sell, " The Chorus Walla," from Le Prophate; " The Old Arm Chair;" " There's Room enough for All," &c., &c., &c. "Cheap ness" and " worth" are seldom found together, but in this delightful serial we certainly possess the coveted combination. It has commenced and prcgressed auspiciously, and merits universal support. Sleep Lady mine; or, the World of Dreams. Sung by Mr. Lockey. Written by E. L. Banchard, Esq. Com posed by James Bowe.—Elegance and tenderness are the prevailing characteristics of this serenade. The words are essentially poetical, full of sweet thoughts, and " love's golden measure." Mr. Howe has, moreover, caught the ardour of the poet, and Wreathed each page with the roses of composition. The Emblem of Peace. The Poetry (suggested by the present of a Dove to the Queen in Dublin) by E. L. Blanchard. The Music by IY. • Lovell Phillips. The Watchword of Progress, " Go on," also by the above. —The spirit of loyalty and enthusiasts infused into these ballads cannot fail to attract the admiration of the many. The themes are happily selected, happily versified, and happily arranged. iVhen I met Theefirat in May. Canzonet for Voice and Written by E. L. Bl anc h ar d , , Esq. The Music composed by T. IV e cannot do better than present our readers with the words of this charming song:— " When I met thee first in May, From say dreams can ne'er depart, For the germ of love that d a y Had been planted in my heart. A buil was in the bowee,. Where we heard the Throstle s i ng , And my love was like that flowe r When first we met in spring.

" Robed in autumn's mellow suit Did we next that bower see, , And the blossom and the fruit, Had been gather'd from tly4 tree, And I said my love alone Would in winter ne'er decay, So 1 woa thee for mine own ,• As the bride I wooed in slay,'' i.'2,000 ... ... ... 500 The Leamington March. Composed'and dedicated to the Prince Louis .Napoleon, by Miss Ilazekes.—Te this very spirited and original composition we may award unex ceptional praise; for it is of its class faultless. It sus tains throughout the solemn character of the military movement, while it is at the same time enlivened by graceful fancies and embellishments devoid of elabora tion. The peoficient as well a s the student will find much to admire in the various phases of this melodious air. The royal name attached to the march should moreover attract tte foreign visitors to our metropolis, and demand for it " abroad," as surely as its merits should obtain fur it " at home," the kneed of " popu• laxity." If we have a regret respecting the compositions of lili3s Ef_awkeJ, it is that th e y aPPenr Sc) rexely. As ,very essay on the part of this aeeocr lady proves her advance in the art, we could wi , h they had less re semblance t:o the character of " angels' v i,i ts; ,, we could wish they were rather " many and "ten" than " few and far between."."

A temporary church, which cost above 7 00/. in its erection, has been also removed. It is intended to carry the railway, s-hich at present terminates at a distance of about a quarter of a mile from King's-cross, under the R egent ' s Canal, to effect which object it will be necessary to construct an iron tank over the tramway, in order to support the water. For this purpose a Liam is now being fornim, about half-way across the canal, to divert the water.; When this is com pleted, and the tank placed, the line will be continued to the terminus.
