Tne beat lit of Me. F. Webster took place at this theatre last evening-, and he had a bumper, which he well de,ervcs. Su densely was the hou'e filled that many persons were uoaliie to obtain admittance. The performance commenced with Sheridan Knowles's play of Love, in which Mr. W. Morgan, a pupil of Mr. F. Webster, made his first appearance before a metropolitan audience in the character of Huon, and by his performance proved that be had been educated in a good school ; he was much applauded through out. The Countes Eppenstein of Miss Reynolds was full of pathos and energy, and she achieved a brilliant and most deserved success, and wasseveral times called on. Miss Emma Harding, who bas hitherto been known to the play. going public as exclusively a votary of Thalia, made her first appearance ss a worshipper of the tragic muse, in the character of the Empress ; she acted the part with great dignity, her recitation was admirable, and she looked the haughty Empress to the life. Miss Cooper, as Catherine, was full of arch and graceful espieglierie; she made every point tell, and was honoured with a call at the conclusion. The opera of the Sonnambula followed, and the perform ances concluded with the farce of the Unfinished Gentleman. ADELPHI THEATRE. The performances at this theatre last evening were for the benefit of that usuful actor, Mr. James Wor rell, whose friends mustered around him in great force. The house was crowded in every part. LYCEUM THEATRE. This theatre closed its doors last night, the occasion being the benefit of Madame Vestris. No official speech was delivered, but Mr. Charles Mathews was called before the curtain at the end of tne Game of Speculation, and was loudly and enthusiastically cheered. The Lyceum, we have reason to believe, has profited, as well as other establishments devoted to the public amusement, by the inordinate influx of strangers into the metropolis. The nightly attendances have been large to a degree, and upon many occasions numbers of individuals were turned away from the doors. The reputation that the management of Madame Vestris enjoyed brought forth its legitimate fruit, and the elegance and taste which have always identified her managerial sway in former times were more than exemplified by the aspect and sentiment of the pieces which have been played. Madame Vestris has in variably been celebrated for care and libe rality in carrying out the duties of a lesseeship, and her past career at the Lyceum is but an additional instance of the delicacy of artistic feeling by which she has ever been animated. Wherever she sets foot as a manager, there do we find improvement in all that appertains to ensemble and embellishment. Presses, scenery, and appointments, alike bear witness to the sensitiveness of her taste, the shrewdness of her judgment, and the freedom of her expenditure. The King of the Peacocks and King Charming have in particular memorably demonstrated these qualities, and we need hardly point to them as unrivalled spe cimens of spectacular decorations. This has been universally allowed, end their popularity, conse quently, has been unbounded. But the same types of brilliant and alluring completeness have marked all the holiday productions at the Lyceum, and it is unfair to make exceptions. The 'vaudevilles which have from time to time appeared in 1851 have been adaptations from the French, and, prepared chiefly with a view to illustrate the elastic and vivacious gaieties of Mr. Charles Mathews, they have worn a special and inviting peculiarity. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A comedietta, from the pen of Mr. Banks, who is, we believe, a new aspirant for fame, was produced here last evening, under the title of Caught in his own Trap. The story is based upon the assumption of the existence, in some unnamed country, of a law, rendering marriage—should the lady choose — compulsory on a gentleman seen by witnesses any four times in conversation with any member of the fair sex. An old bachelor lawyer (Mr. Farren) has a wild young nephew (Mr. Kinloch). The nephew wishes to marry ; the uncle refuses permission, unless the nephew ootains a wife with twenty thousand francs, undertaking, for his own part, to give that, or a larger sum, to his nephew, if the nephew ever finds him, the uncle, ever married. The nephew seeks the aid of the step-mother (Mrs. Phillips) of the lady with whom he is in love. ; and the step-mother being the widow of a lawyer, and cognizant of the apocry phal "statute," contrives to be seen four different times in the company, and once, when fainting, in the arms of the unsuspecting old bachelor. He all the time had been advising the lady to seek matrimony with an imaginary party, described to him by this method ; and hence the title Caught in his own Trap. The usual compromise ensues at the denouement, and both uncle and nephew marry. The trifle is busy and pleasant enough, and gets through half an hour easily, with the busy assistance of Mr. Shalders, who acts the part of a lawyer's clerk, idiotic but cunning, with great cleverness and originality. The make-up of Mr. Farren as the old lawyer was perfect. After this a new burlesque, Azael the Pro digal, was produced, in which all the points of the original are very cleverly parodied, the impression able hero being converted into a Jew gipsy, who is enticed to town by a pair of strolling mountebanks. He is introduced to Vauxhall during a masquerade, and, in the costume of a " gent" of the most alarm ing water, soon finds himself in the toils of a girl as light in her heels as in her morals; and finally, hav ing been cleared out by experiments at thimble-rig, is reduced to the low extremity of tending donkeys on Elampstead-heath. The repentant youth is refreshed with visions of the domestic comforts which he has sacrificed, and he straightway wends his path back to the paternal tent, where he is received with appro priate welcome and rejoicing. One of its best points is a burlesque version of the " Pas de Poignards," now executed with knives and forks, and the offer ings tributary to the Crystal Palace afford good op portunity for some national satire, though the repre sentative of Mr. Paxton last night was not clever enough to escape hissing. The doggrel dialogue is smartly written, and some of the puns are whimsical. Mr. Compton clothed the part of Azael with as much broad absurdity as he could, and he provoked fre quent peals of laughter. His coadjutors were Mr. lialders, Mr. Norton, Mrs. Phillips, and Miss Field ing. The songs, which are thickly strewed over the text, are gathered from various sources, and the words to which they are united are by no means wanting in comicality. ACTRESSES RAISED BY MARRIAGE. The first person among " the gentry" who chose a wife from the stage was Martin Folkea, the antiquary, amm of fortune, who, about the year 1718, married Lucretia Bradshaw, the representative of Farquhsr's aeroines. A contemporary writer styles her "one of the greatest and most promising genii of her time," and assigns her " prudent and exemplary conduct", as the attraction that won the learned antiquary. The next ictress whose husband moved iu an elevated rank, was Anastasia Robinson, the singer. The great Lord Pe erborough, the hero of the Spanish war, the friend of Pope and Swift, publicly honoured Anastasia as his Countess in 1735. In four years after the Lady Hen rietta Herbert, daughter of James, first Earl of Walde grave, and widow of Lord Edward Herbert, bestowed nor hand on James Beard, the performer. Subsequently, about the middle of the 18th century, Lavinia Beswick, the original Polly Peachum, became Duchess of Bol ton. The next on record was Miss Linley's mar riage with Sheridan, one of the most romantic episodes in theatrical unions; and before the eighteenth century closed, Elizabeth Farren, a perfect gentlewoman, beeline Countess of the proudest Earl in England, the re presentative of the illustrious Stanleys. She was Lord Derby's second consort, and mother of the present Countess of Wilton. In 1807 the beautiful Miss Searle became the wife of R. Heathcote, Esq., brother of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Bart.; and in the same year Louisa Brunton was married to the late Earl of Craven. Her .on is now Earl Craven, and her niece, Mrs. Yates, the actress, still exhibits the dramatic genius of the Brun ton family. The Beggars Opera again conferred a co ronet; Mary Catherine Bolton's impersonation of Polly Peachum captivated Lord Thurlow. She was married to his Lordship in 1813. In more recent times the most fascinating of our actresses, Miss O'Neil, wedded Sir William Wrixon Beecher, Bart.; Miss Foote, the Earl of Harrington; Miss Stephens, the Earl of Essex; and Mrs. Nisbet, Sir William Boothby, Bart. It has been remarked, that the conduct of each of the se ladies in he r wedded life has been unexceptionable.—Burke's Anec dotes of the Aristocracy. SOUTII-EASTERNRAILWAY.

DEATH or AN OLD OFFICER. —On Thursday even ing, about nine o'clock, Philip Webster, who had been about eleven years under usher at Westminster and Queen-square Police -court, died suddenly at his residence, No. 19, Pul ford-street. He was at the court on Saturday last, but on the following Monday was unable to attend. He was pre viously, for nearly seventeen years, attached to the Maryle bone Police -court, and before that appointment was a Bow street officer. He was about 70 years of age.

SPORTING NOTES. No. CXLIL YESTERDAY'S SPORT a T NEWMARKET, &c TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Mr. Gratwiclte, with his black gelding Land• grave, Nat up, commenced the game yesterday in the 501. Plate across the fist, by beating Vatican, now the property of Mr. Morris, by half a length cleverly; the other couple of starters, Trinket and Gloom, being stalled off very early. The 200 soya. Sweepstakes, over the T.Y.C., was a capital race between the first two, Scarecrow and Father Thames, the former waiting upon the Father to within the distance, and finally winning cleverly by a short halt length; the Physalis filly beaten off. This said Scarecrow of Mr. Greville'a must be looked after; for not being in the very best of condition yesterday, while Father Thames in that respect was tolerably well off, it as a matter of course follows that Sesrecrew is capable of considerable improvement. Mr. Hughes won his Match with Sophistry against Turtle by two or three lengths. This Sophistry in the long run will be an out-and-out speculation for her lucky owner. A batch of ten two years old figured on the T.Y.C. Course for a 501. Plate. This race was the best of the day; all got off in a line and ran, without seemingly any one having an advantage, almost to t•Le cords, where Little Harry and Ravenswing bolted to the front; the race home was between this pair, Ravenswing, after a desperate struggle winning by a short neck, Sister to Trinket third. Among the wretches who were beaten in the field were to be discovered, the Toga filly, Delia colt, and one or two also who have shown moderate running in Urbanity, Herschel, and Fidgetty Girl. In the match for 200, between Bordeaux and Garforth, contrary to my opinion the race was never in doubt; the first-named not only gave his opponent 91bi, but a slbs beating like wise, Lord Derby's Iris, after waiting upon Hesse Homburg to half way up the cords, challenged, and won the 50 sous. Stakes very cleyerfy by half a length. The betting throughout the day shifted consi derably with the outsiders for the Cesarewitob, but with the favourites • remained tolerably steady, most of them being ors the rise. Hippolytus advanced to sto 1, and afterwards 9 to 2, taken freely. Darkie stood at one time at 8, or even under, but eventually closed at 9to 1. Goldfiuder rose from 10 to 8. Three or four figured at about 20 to 1, namely, Sauter-la-Coupe, Candlewick, The Italian, &c. The outsiders at fifties, forties, and so on, were as a rule completely shunned, the public evidently imagining this race to have assumed anything but an open aspect, and, in a word, to lie amongst those quoted in the odds. Ere this appears in print, or about the same time, the result of the Cesarewitch will be known; therefore it will be perfectly superfluous to drop any remarks upon this event, especially as I am of the same opinion still. I shall follow what I understand to be the intention of my clever contemporary of the ItiorninqAdvertiser, and stick to my colours, with ' 6 OFFicrous, GOLDFINDER, and HIPPOLYTUS, as the trio from which I fancy the winner will spring—the first and hist of these for choice, The Italian and Sauter la Coupe next well up."

Yesterday this match came off between the above two competitors for aquatic fame; the distance being from Putney to Mortlake, for 201. aside. Hubert having won the toss for choice of station went to the Middlesex side of the centre arch of the antiquated wooden bridge, and Campbell took tEe Surrey side. An even start was effected, and shortly after Campbell drew slightly in ad vance. He gradually drew ahead, and opposite the Star and Garter was half a length in advance, in spite of the strenuous exertions of hi s opp onen t. n excellent race ensued to the Crab -tree, where Campbell was a boat's length distant froni that of Hubert, and on going through Hammersmith bridge he was still gaining. At this point, when just above the bridge, Campbell's cutter pressing Hubert's boat ho accidentally fouled his scull against the stern of the cutter. Hubert on this occur rence was called upon to desist from rowing, and be complied, when he continued the distance to Mortlake, following Campbell. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO 111ANCHESTER. Manchester has scarcely resumed its wonted ap pearance. and seems loth to cast eff its gay holiday attire. Yesterday when our correspondent wrote nu merous flags were still, flaunting in the streets, and there were numerous other remains of the fete of Friday. Last night a grand ball was to be given in the Exchange, under the auspices o f Si r J o h n P otter, the Mayor, and with that event the proceedings con sequent upon the visit of Royalty would close. Her Majesty has not left the people of Manchester and Salford without an expression of the satisfaction all the arrangements have given her, and of her sense of the loyal reception 'she met with. On Saturday morning the Mayor of Manchester received the fol lowing official note : " Worsley, Oct. 10, 1851. " Sir,--I have much pleasure in acquainting you that I have received the Queen's commands to express to you her Majesty's entire satisfaction with the arrangements mode on the occasion of her visit this day to Man cheater. Her Majesty was highly gratified by the pro ceedings of the day, and by the manner in whieh she was received. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient servant, " GREY. " Sir John Potter, Knight, Mayor of Manchester." _ A note, in precisely the same terms, was forwarded to the Mayor of Salford. The Recorder of Manchester, in his speech to the grand jury, in opening the borough sessions yester day morning, referred to the event. He remarked that the inhabitants of Manchester had scarcely re covered from the excitement brought about by the stirring and gratifying events of the previous week. It was matter for thankfulness that, in the large preparations made to give a fitting reception to our Gracious Sovereign, the fears of the timid, that there would ;,,,be some great mischance, had not been realized, but that the expectations of those who an ticipated that everything would go off well had been fully borne out. That our. Gracious Sovereign was well pleased with the reception given to her on the Exchange was apparent to all who had tha happiness there to see her. The honour which her Majesty was pleased to confer on the chief magistrate of the bo rough, in the presence of so many of his assembled fellow-townsmen, was felt by most to be a compliment to the borough at large, as well as an evidence of her Majesty's gracious approval of the Mayor's conduct. He conceived that the most imposing sight that her Ma j esty witnessed was the peaceful andorderly conduct, and exemplary demeanour of the countless - thousands, who pouring out of their hives of industry, and ceasing from their various occupations, lined the road on each side of the royal route for miles. Such a fact made apparent to her Majesty, would be attended with good results to the community. They who lived amongst the population at Manchester knew that peaceful orderly conduct in general, and the power of controlling themselves on any occasion when they felt it to be seemly and right to do so, were distin guishing characteristics of the working .people. He was quite certain that the men of Lancashire, and of the neighbourhood of Manchester especially, now that they had by such conduct gained the notice and admiration of their gracious Queen, would feel them selves bound, by a zealous adherence to the like good conduct, still to deserve that meed of approba tion. He felt most confident, as all reflecting men would, that the qualities which had been exhibited by the working people of this town, and, the estimation in which they were held, would greatly increase the true importance of this great' community. He had thought it right, and not unfitting the occasion of their meeting, to take a brief notice of the events which had occurred so recently. The casualties consequent upon the demonstration have fortunately been exceedingly few. A girl was shot dead on Friday by a piece of wadding entering her eyes from a gun which was fired during the Royal progress. A man was crushed, and a boy se verely hurt:— Chronicle. COURT CIRCULAR.

For the pruper appreciation of the beauties scat tered in profusion over the poetic literature of Eng land the most eclectic tastes are requisite. Without the aid of this plastic and all-embracing capacity the predilections of the student in this department of letters must necessarily and rapidly become restricted within very narrow limits, to the exclusion of the majority of those great writers who in different moods have struck the lyre of verse to the music of our mother tongue. In this manner it is that now a- days we observe the reading community divided into so many exclusive sections, each with some schoOl of poesy cherished as the solitary object of its infatuation. Here we listen only to the praises of the mystic school, of which Browning, and Bailey, and Tennyson are the recognised leaders. Here again are audible eulogiums solely directed to the glorification of the school of which Leigh Hunt was the founder, and of which John Keats has ultimately become the recognised chieftain. Some can con scientiously yield applause solely to the austere and learned muse invoked by Bowles and Savage Lan dor : some, on the contrary, confining their enthu siasm to the panegyrizing of such oriental effusions as the metrical writings of Milman and Wilson. When the dictates of a sounder judgment would, one might imagine, have assured all these encomiasts alike, that in each school there are merits very readily discoverable—merits entitled to the very warmest ad miration—but merits also the recognition of which by no means necessitates the ignoring of every other excellence elsewhere. For ourselves, we entertain an affection for the simplicity of Crabbe, for the quaint ness of Herrick, for the vigour of Dryden, for the delicacy of Waller, and for the sweetness of Gold smith ; we have an earnest sense of liking for the rugged force of Somerville, for the brilliant conceits of Suckling, and for the ingenious melody of Prior ; we love with a sort of passion the " stretched metre of an antique song" in which Dan Chaucer has told the incidents occurring on the famous pilgrimage to Canterbury, and at the same ime feel our heart yearning to a very different bard, to a bard of a less elevated though still admirable capacity, in the per son of that old puritanical cobbler who gave to the world in a prose poem the noblest allegory in the language. Without this eclectic power of apprecia tion it is utterly impossible, we maintain, for any one judiciously to adventure upon the discharge of the responsible duties of criticism. Neither is it possible we maintain, to perceive anywhere the reasonableness of those arguments which are advanced to the con trary by the fanatical sticklers for the superiority of some cherished section of the literary world of Eng land. Because Shakspere is acknowledged by every one indiscriminately to be altogether without any competitor in fame, surely that cannot be held as a sufficient reason for holding in contempt poor Drum mond of Hawthornden. We may look back ad miringly towards Taylor, the water poet, singing his fantastic ditties on the " silent highway," without holding in contempt the mimic antiquities of Rowley, that noblest of all the strange creations of the genius of Chatterton. Upon the same principle we are pre pared to acknowledge an enthusiasm at once for the exquisite precision of Pope, and for that wild and in coherent style in which Byron wrote his " Giaour," very shortly after the publication of the " Christabel" of Coleridge. The author of the present volume has adopted this last-mentioned style, as, if he so pleased, he was, of course, quite justified in doing: and as a specimen of changing metre we accept the work most willingly, however much we may love the regularly modulated and equably throbbing versifica tion peculiar to the wasp of Twickenham. Mr. Inglis has in "Marican" selected a theme somewhat similar to the " Prontinac" of Mr. Street—a wild transatlantic story of love and bloodshed, on the wave and in the woodlands. Changing at pleasure from the quatrain to the terza rima, indulging his voice now in couplets and now in alternating rhymes, with a corresponding series of fluctuations in the rhythm, the writer has contrived to throw over his composition that charm of variety which under most circumstances is found by the majority to be irresist ible. In " Marican" he disdains not to repeat such old tales as that of an ocean burial, where he says— " The boatswain and his mates the hatchway round, The whistle's shrill admonitory sound; Bury the dead, ahoy:' Captain and crew, uncovered in the waist, The hammock of the dead on gangway placed, The priest's farewell convoy;— The tilted planking, and the plunge below Of the tar's shotted shroud, The bird that cometh—whence they do not know— White as a sunlit cloud, Bearing the seaman's spirit far away To haven undisturbed, in calm unruffled bay." Such passages Mr. Inglis shrinks not from intro ducing, however incongruous may be its character. Stranger still to observe, is the interpolation of such allusions as the following, in which the author evi dently had Mrs. Manning, the murderess, in his re collection : " What of the human tigress shall we say, Who lures her drunken idiotic prey With hellish leer? Entwines the dagger in a wreath of smiles, And drugs the wile-cup with her wanton wiles? While angels hear The stealthy foot-fall of the assassin's tread; And angels see The trim-on current dye the guilty bed, — The damned three Drenched in an overwhelming midnight flood Of lust and murder, treachery and blood." Having apostrophised a little further on— " Woman! thro' every age and every clime Glorious in virtue, terrible in crime," our author proceeds in the development of his narra tive by recounting the heroism displayed by the bride of Marican. The nature of the incidents described in the story may be best conjectured by the heading of the several portions of the poem :—The Escape— The Swim by Night—The Encampment —The Conference—The March—The oaou hnnailgi bt delineations eafefilgintinenhees ingenuity, eat B ivnnpo aup a nre t ii t t taoy l s r e uo, -- :ft bo, aoun T ycuta The tt u e uhhr rreaerenmenremark able rhekis Execu tion—and The Burial. In the unfolding of the plot prin cipal aMwbirhe scat tereda l its m;; tf e rho r l or i a i s u t teg d ox f h i o fa s r p mtt h i h w p a ee . y l h ete s i ,h c a n c h rs s majestic mention of midday on the mountain top ? The sun o'ertops the Andes, and his glance Lightens the inconceivable expanse With dazzling fire. And hark! the frozen wilderness on high Acknowledgeth the monarch of the sky As kings desire: Iceberg and avalanche , asunder riven, Salute the sun In thunder which reverberates to heaven; While clouds of dun And seething mist upon the valleys lie— The fitting smoke of such artillery !" Here is a more tranquil spectacle, a perfect little vig nette of American scenery : sown where the river steals beneath the trees, Where massive foliage bars the faintest breeze— Where boughs entwine, And with their lofty arches bridge the wave— Where nimble monkeys swing, and parrots rave— Where the wild vine Clings with its clutters of deep purple hue, And silver sheen Of glancing fish is in the waters blue— Where garnalo!6 green Leans over with its long luriant leaves, And for the glassy floor a floating carpet weaves." Having enumerated these charming features of the landscape, Mr. Inglis, with a minuteness kindred to that displayed by Captain Mayne Reid in a similar description, depicts the locality as a spot— " Where white bells of the Floripondio bloom, Bathing all nature round them in perfume, Like lily- laden shore; — Where pink flamingos in the shallows dream, And piebald swans, majestic in the stream, Are poised on feathered oar; — Where tufted herons soar on snowy wing, With plaintive cry— Where brilliant is beyond imagining The painted fly— Where the bright humming bird, like feathered bee, Sips honey from the flower of plant and tree." With equal vividness the words fall from his lips when he is describing —a very different scene in deed—the broiling heat of the tropics on a dusty highway, saying— " Of all the company of clouds, not one Was there to veil the fury of the sun, Which, like a mighty lens, Seizes with fierce intolerable grasp Buckles and belts of brass, Kindles the sword-hilt in its fiery clasp, And scorches the cuirass; While on the burning horseman's armed heel, The rowels are of flame, and not of steel." As a very pleasing testimony of the melodies floating here and there through the poem, we may transcribe the subjoined stanzas : " The lofty sky weeps in cloud, The earth weeps in dews From its core; The diamond-brooks weep aloud, The flow'rs change the hues Which they wore. " The grass mourns in the sunbeam, In gums weep the trees, And in dye; And if mourn meadow and stream—. Inanimate these— May not I? " The wood-pigeon mourns his mate, The caged birds bewail Freedom gone; Shall not man mourn over fate? Dumb sorrow assail Him alone? "The hulls of the forest grieve When the lassoes wind Round the horn; And man shall we silent leave, With his master-mind, 1129 Uta These verses being, strangely enough, marred by such an opening phrase as this— •' Weep away ! heart, weep away!" a mode of expression decidedly anything bat pathetic. As our final quotation from the volume, we give one which appears to us to be in some measure charac terised by a tone of sublimity : "The Organ Mountains !—As the days decline, By frozen cataract and cleft ravine The rapid thunder sweeps; And the chords answer to the mighty band That stirreth them, in diapason grand— The music of the steeps!— Reverberating like the roar of war O'er continent and sea, Until the weary mariner afar With hope and helm a-lee, Death in his path, his cup of faith outpoured, Remembers Rim who still can help afford, And kneels to hear the anthem of the Lord." With this noble passage we close our notice of " Ma ramp," satisfied that more than any words of a reviewer, an extract of equal excellence is a book's worthiest commendation. NEW MUSIC. THE WORLD IS A FAIRY RING. Ballad. Written by Eliza Cook. Composed by J. P. Knight. Z. T. Purday. We are al ways grateful for a good ballad --and here is one of incontestable.excellence. To the corn poser we have often been under obligations in this way, obligations we cannot very speedily forget with the melodies of his beautiful songs so often haunting our recollections. Whoever has watched th e p rogress of our popular literature during the last fifteen years needs no reminder whatever of the merit of those lyrical treasures which have been squandered forth by Eliza Cook in such exhaustless profusion. Remem bering what has already been accomplished by the poetess and the musician, we welcome the ballad be fore us with all eagerness. It is unworthy of neither. On the contrary, we find in it charms that evidence anything but decadence in those who have respec tively given us a l rea dy th e words of "Old ,, King Ti me " and the music of th e "Gr ec ian Daughter. The mel o d y of his present effusion., while altogether different from those melodies which have long since rendered Mr. Knight so very general a favourite, has the same haunting sweetness for which most of his previous compositions are remarkable. It will cling to the re membrance, and in so doing will testify to the love liness of the in s pir a ti on . D ou b t l ess w ith the majority the verses are already " household worlds," like so many others from the hand of our popular authoress. By reason of this simplicity and elegance, we think Mr. Knight evinced tast e i n thi s se l ect i on. B e tt er i s it, surely infinitely better, than listening to the maudlin songs recently in vogue, songs distinguished only by their exaggerated affectation of sentiment, to hear maiden voices of England breathing thoughts like those contained in the present ballad—thoughts inculcative of a gentle and consolatory philosophy. THE REGRET. Song.. Written by Eliza Cook Z. T.Purd,ay. Without the name of any composer on the title, page, the song here issued from the establishment of Mr. Purday bears upon it the name of Eliza Cook as a talisman of attraction. It will prove on examina tion worthy in every way of the popularity of the authoress. The air is plaintive and flowing, and from its simplicity will be found generally most ac ceptable. THE BANK STOPPAGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-It is meet to have a giant's strength, but it is cruel to use it as a giant —an aphorism assuredly applicable to the heads of the newspaper press. In your Sun of last night is a communication from this town, headed " The Bank Failures," which is calculated to increase the panic, to spread ruin, and, indeed, to cause a panic throughout the country. Your reckless correspondent states that the liabilities of the Monmouth and Glamor. gan Bank are said to be somewhere about three• quarters of a million ; the cash in hand not two thousands, and the other property of the bank trifling. The truth of this cruel and ridiculous assertion may be tested by the following statement:— Crs. By Cash in hand ... Securities, &c. ••• Property in houses, &c. ... £15,578 19 2 ... 762,939 14 11 ... 31,851 9 5 £810,370 3 6 Drs. Capital paid up ... Due by the bank ... Reserve fund ... Bad debts ... ... Balance ... ... ... £220,294 0 0 ... 554,748 1 7 ... 11,604 18 6 ... 13,411 S 6 ... 9,311 14 11 . £810,370 3 6 Now, Sir, I leave you to judge whether in any wind-up 220,0001. be not margin enough for any loss, and will not also leave a large return of capital to the shareholders. Is it not most shameful that your correspondent, in the plenitude of his ignorance or wickedness, should fan the flame of alarm by such sentences as these :—" Many of the smaller shareholders will be ruined "—the town will suffer a fearful convul sion this winter. The notes of other country banks are now regarded with apprehension—only gold is current; this is a monetary crisis that will shake the credit and the stability of trade to an alarming extent." I will not trust myself to comment on this string of falsehoods. The man who wrote them cannot be aware of the awful responsibility which attaches to the paper that publishes them—certainly anything more calcu lated to ruin the trade of Newport and the surround. ing country, it is difficult to conceive. In the name, therefore, of the common weal, I trust to your inser tion of this letter. FIAT JUSTITIA. Newport, Oct. 11. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE, OCT. 13. —A numerous and respectable meeting of the credi tors of the Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire Banking Company was held at the Town-hall, this day, for the purpose of considering what " steps were most expedient to be taken for their security in the present position of the bank." Sir Thomas Phillips, Knt., was unanimously voted to the chair. A reso lution was proposed by W. S. Cartwright, Esq , a large coal proprietor in this district, and seconded by E H. Phillips, Esq., " That a committee be appointed to meet the shareholders, and that they be requested to report to the creditors, as early as possible, the re sult of such meeting." The following gentlemen were selected as the com mittee, on behalf of the creditors, for that purpose, in order to ascertain the precise position of the bank, with reference to its assets and liabilities, and to avoid the necessity, if possible, of compelling the share holders to resort to a court of bankruptcy, viz. : Sir Thos. Phillips, Knt, ' • Messrs. S. H o mf ra y, Th omas Brown, Vere S m ith, W. S. Cartwright, W. A. Williams, P. Woodruff, Charles Conway, E. H. Phillips, James Rennie, James Evans, and Roger Keene. Monday next, the 20:h inst., was appointed as the day on which the creditors are to receive the report of the Investigation Committee. The greatest anxiety appeared to prevail amongst the creditors, as to the assets of the bank, but nothing transpired during the meeting calculated to remove their doubts in this respect. The only financial statement upon which at pre sent calculations are based is as follows : To capital paid up ... £220,294 0 0 Due by the Bank ... ... 555,748 1 7 Reserve fund... ... ... 11,604 18 6 Bad debts account ... 13,411 8 6 Debts carried to profit and loss account 9,311 14 11 Total Drs. ... £810,370 3 6 15,578 19 2 By cash in hand ... ...

Pullen, of Youngs . Bury, is candidate for th e represen tation of this county, in opposition to Sir Ed war d B u l wer Lytton. In his address to the e l ec t ors, the new candidate a tt r ibutes the social order which has been maintained in England, in the presence of anarchy abroad, to the timely concession of Perliamentary Reform, and to the alteration in the corn-laws ; and we learn also that, although opposed to extreme or violent changes, he is prepared to support a well-judged measure for extending the constituency within such limits as experience may have shown to be necessary. Mr. Pullen avows that his faith in free trade is undiminished, and he shows that it has conferred great benefits upon the people at large by increasing the foreign trade of the country. lie refuses to delude the farmer by inciting him to hope for the restoration of protective laws, but invites him to con fide in something better—in his own energy, and in the justice and generosity of the great class of landowners, of whom he is one. THE PROPOSED FINSBURY PARS.—Considerable progress bas been made within the past fortnight by the authorities of the Woods and Forests, in surveying the site of the new park, and also in collecting information required to be obtained previous to an estimate being made of the necessary outlay for compensation, &c., and for taking the preliminary steps to bringing in a Bill for making the park next session. It may be mentioned, as showing the neces sity of a park for the inhabitants of the northern district of the metropolis, that in Islington alone the population, which in 1801 was 10,600, has now risen to 95,000,rriern;rnef a i ta n hsye s is o tt i a n it e other parts within the borough of Finsbury the increase is hardly less remarkable; so that though the nepw_asspeanrgkearisst being marked out on the margin of the suburbs, it may in a few years be expected to be in their centre. We further, that the Docks Junction Railway, which Wa s weeklyfirstintended e forg station oods nearonly, th the southern t h h e r irnngsNvl3oei,l boundary 130,000 0 n attractive worn thousands in pro posed park near Highbury; and this nu may be expected to be greatly increased place of resort is provided for the toil worn of healthful recreation and pure air.

The preparation s for the reception of the Hunga ridu patriot in London are going on as favourably as could be desired, and, judgin g from the amount of subscriptions received, an d the degree of enthusiasm displayed, there is every probability of the demonstra tion being of a most effective character. At a meeting of gentlemen interested in the object last evening, Mr. Thornton Hunt in the chair, the committee of arrangement presented a report embody ing the following recommendations :—" That the order of proceedings in marking the arrival of Kossuth be as follows :—That an address be presented to Louis Kossuth ; that a procession be formed to welcome him on his arrival in London ; that Kossuth be invited to a banquet, to be given to him in the most spacious place obtainable ; that a permanent committee be formed to collect a public contribution of funds for the cause of Hungary, to be placed in the hands of Louis Kossuth on his return from America to Eng land." These recommendations were unanimously adopted. L%ir. PETTIE (the secretary) reported that he had, by the instruction of the committee, attended a meet ing of the German Agitation Committee the preceding evening, one of their members (Dr. Strauss) having on their part expressed a wish to be informed of the nature of the intended Kossuth demonstration. The address which it was intended to present to Kossuth had been laid before them and approved of; and Dr. Tausenau, one of their me mbers, a friend of Kossuth, promised to give the deputation every facility , in his power for obtaining a n intr o du c ti o n to Kossuth. They were further informed that the object was to get up an English demonstration ; but if foreigners chose to join ,in the procession, they would not be prevented doing so. At the same time, no delegates from any foreign body would be recognised, as much for their own sakes as to give the demonstration due effect on the Continent. Were foreigners admitted to the committee it would only give an excuse for foreign powers to say that it was merely a plot got up by foreign refugees. Mr. T. Iluivr, the chairman, stated that the coin. mittee appointed to obtain the use of a suitable building for the banquet were not yet prepared to report. They had some idea of obtaining Drury.lane Theatre.--(Cheers.) r The CHA IRMAN rea d an extract from the Progresso of Turin, a letter from a gentleman who had met Kossuth after his liberation at Genoa, and to whom the Hungarian hero had expresse d hi mself as follows: —" Whether I go, in the next week, to America, to France, or to Engl an d, or to w h atever other region, my friends may be certain that I shall be guided in my selection by a lively sense of those duties to which my life and energies are consecrated." Mr. LESLIE announced that the West end Shoe makers' Society had come to a vote placing at the disposal of their committee whatever funds they might deem it necessary to contribute to this demon stration.—(Hear, hear.) Some routine business was transacted, and the meeting adjourned. The following address to Kossuth from the Port reeve of St. Clear has been sent to the Mayor of Southampton for presentation : " To Louis Kossuth, late Governor of Hungary. " Sir,—lt is with feelings of cordial gratification that I greet your approach to the shores of England, after the sad vicissitudes that have hitherto marked your noble career in the cause of liberty, and the in stinctive rancour of despotism, its satellites and ad juncts (including that of the present rabid French President and his minions in power), that has added to the littleness of your fall. To express to you here the meed of admiration due to you were super fluous in both hemispheres, the public voice of fame attests it, that of posterity will confirm it, and hail your name as a guiding star of the world's destiny. Suffice it, therefore, that one of the number who had the honour to solicit the interference of the English Government for your liberation, now seeks permis sion to felicitate you on your arrival in this country, and to express his earnest prayer that the time is not far distant when you may be restored—notwithstand ing the malignity of banded despots that still pollute continental Europe—in triumph to bless your native land. In any case you will not have lived in vain; your glorious example will have its due effect.—Be. lieve me to remain, your most faithful and devoted servant, " HUGH WiLmAms, Portreeve of St. Clear, Carmarthen, South Wales. " Oct. 4, 1851." A number of ladies and gentlemen have been seen about the streets of Southampton with rosettes in their bosoms and coats, formed of the Hungarian pa triotic coloured ribbons, scarlet, white, and green. The Countess Pulski, the celebrated Hungarian authoress, has arrived at Southampton. The Southampton corporation committee appointed to conduct the management of the banquet to Kos suth, met yesterday, and settled the programme of the toasts to be given at the banquet. The usual loyal toasts will be given, due homage will be paid to the virtues and genius of the most distinguished guest at the banquet, the illustrious Magyar, Kossuth ; the duties of national hospitality to the politically op pressed of all naticns will be enunciated ; and the constitutional Governments of Great Britain and of the United Sates will be recognised as alike opposed and inimical to republican tyranny and imperial despotism. THE MESSAGE BALLOON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sla,—lt would appear by the information obtained respecting the descent of a message balloon in Glou cestershire, that some thoughtless person has played off a hoax upon much too grave a subject to be so treated—the fate of Sir John Franklin and his com panions. - That Sir J. Franklin was not supplied with bal loons is, however, very much regretted by those who have some knowledge of cerostation. Had he been provided with, and thorougly instructed in the mode of inflation of substantial balloons, suited to the pur pose of conveying a message some six or seven hun dred miles, under a condition of a strong gale blowing from northwards, it is quite likely that, out of a number set free, one would, with a message attached, have been picked up on the continent of America by somebody engaged in the fur trade. Message bal loons of sufficiently substantial material, properly varnished, might have been made in large numbers, at a cost not exceeding 2s. 6d, per balloon. The inflation might have been accomplished by hydrogen gas in a nearly pure state, obtained by the decomposition of water, as practised by Mr. Stephen White ; the fuel ❑ecessary for the purpose could at the same time have afforded warmth for the crew between decks. Should another searching expedition be sent to the north, it is hoped it will be supplied plentifully with the nec e ssary aerostatic means of dispatching south ward a message when it may be deemed advisable to send off information for the chance of its being found and reaching England. —I remain, Sir, yours, &c., October 13, 1851. NAUTICUS. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMODTII, MONDAY.—The Chatham transport sailed yesterday from Spithead with a company of Royal Sappers and Miners for Bermuda. The royal yachts Victoria and Albert and Fairy, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.H.C., are expected to return to this port from Liverpool to night. The Admiralty telegraphed to the Commander-in- Chief at this port yesterday that the report from Gloucester relative to the Franklin balloon * was a hoax. This official information was speedily dissemi nated throughout the port by the kindness of the Port-Admiral. The Ranger, 10, is hourly expected at this port from the coast of Africa, and the Sidon and Retribu tion from the Cape of Good Hope. TH E SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.—At the meeting of the Edinburgh Town Council on Tuesday, Bailie Dick pressed the Lord Provost to send a memorial to the Lords of the Admiralty as to the propriety of sending another vessel in search of the missing vessels of discovery in the Arctic regions. The Lord Provost had been assured it would be too late to send any vessel in the present season. In the view, however, of reminding the Admiralty . as to the pro priety of sending out a vessel early in the spring, he had no objection that the matter be remitted to his committee. He should put himself in communication with the relatives of the officers in London and elsewhere, and would prepare such a memorial as would have the desired effect.

From the situation of the room where the fire originated, nothing could have saved the house from total destruction had it not been arrested in the first stage.-- Edinburgh Courant. ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, be tween eleven and twelve, a ycung man of respectable ap pearance attempted suicide by throwing himself from the tunnel bridge into the Regent's Canal. It appeared that he was in company with two other men, and before they could stop him he jumped on to the bridge and threw himself into the water, at the same time wi s hi ng th em good bye. A on shots, sistance was at once at hand, and he was conveyed Ass. and restoratives applied, happily with success. _ We understand that Mr. N. T.
