How few of the vii:tors of the Great Industrial Exhibition Will consider how many hearts and heads and limbs have ached to produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that now grace the Crystal Palace ; and, besides those triumphs of mankind, how many thousands of men, equally deserving of success, have, •frona as many different causes, altogether failed to complete the works upon which theft whole energies have been expended for months perhaps their whole means exhausted ! The Crystal Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry; but the wonders there accumulated are also the results of cares and anxieties unpayalleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce. Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an important lesson ? Art, science, and manufactures, unpatronised and unprotected, would progress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility and gentry see at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the fostering care of those who can affordlt - , there is some hope that the disposi tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of mankind may be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be achieved. He who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It was this consideration that induced Messrs. E. MOSES and SON to enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun dreds of excellent industrious workmen where others would only employ tens. Is must be Obvious to all reasoning men that under the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself might clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON can, with their limited profits, out of the labour of a hundred. But they have the satisfaction to know that the more capital they can , use, and the less profit they exact, the more they can patronise the industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an article at nearly half the usual, and far better at that price, than has ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a large capital and numbers of people does not end in the mere fact of low prices ; for these very low prices for good clothing enable thou sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their system of trading it was impossible to obtain good cheap clothing ; now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strong and good clothing according to their circumstances. All classes can dress well—all classes ought to dress well. It is worth the consideration of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their own dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS, appropriate for everybody. Buy or not buy, no matter, when they have seen they will believe in the beauty and extent of a stock and an establishment to which it is difficult, if not impossible, to do Justice by description.

"Sir,—ln the ;sues and several other journals o f th e I s t i' der the head of the Police-court, instant there appeared .1 0 Marlborough-street, a sta t e ra,ne t purporting to be a report of a conversation which took p l a ce between yourself and me respecting a Polish refugee pa o teph Mierzejewski, who had applied to you for assistance-tin he ground of his having been, according to his own statement, expelled from France without any reason by order of the authorities of that country. "One part of this statement rusts slit : Mr. Szulczewski, the secretary, made his appearance, and having been informed of the treatment the applicant had sustained at the hands of the French authorities, said this was en exceedingly common case. For some time past it had been the open practice of the Freuch. authorities to clear their country of idle, profligate, or criminal foreigners, by sending them to England. He believed Qat not fewer than 800 doubtful characters had been 'within p limited period sent to this country. This practice would account for the appear ance of the applicant here, wko, thirugh with a passport to Lyons, was compelled when he got to that city to leave it, and to embark at Boulogne for England. The French Go vernment had, doubtless, found out that the applicant was without visible means of subsistence, and had in the cus tomary way provided means for getting him out of France into Eel; and.' " What I said was this: that. the individual then before you was not the only instance of the severity with which the French authorities act towards the Po , es— that numbers of them h ave within the l ast two years b een sent over h e re, and that the French Government is not very scrupulous in. that respect. That, independently of the refugees whose political conduct renders them obnoxious in the ryes of the French Government, it sometimes expels persons who, having offended against the l aws o f ..France 'might, in virtue of these very laws, be pirnished there, rather than be made a present of to England. That, as regards the refugee is question, who arrived here without a passport or any papers, 1 did not suppose that he could leave ,been removed from, Francs merely from ,rno tivs. • "I added, that the influx of the, Polish refugees in England during the past year was greater than at any other period, the number at present in England being about 800, and that at one time there were nearly 1,000, many of whom arrived here • freer Switzerland with re gular pasiports,visaKi in France, haiing been compelled to quit Switzerland, at the instigation of the Continental Powers, and that several also came here from Ilambarzh. " It was far from me 10 think,' ;much less to s ay, that only idle, profligate, o r crimminal foreigners' are expelled from Prance to England. Such a otatemont tends t o create a very strong prejudice in the public mind againist the Polish refugees, and as an, pct of justice towards their, ~, ' morel thavacter, by which as, alk6dY s tha3S are distinguished. and with the view to remove so erroneous an impression, I .have felt it my duty to trouble you with this commtuaica. tion. " I am, Sir, your obedient -servant, " C. SZULCZIEWSKI, Secretary. " J. H ardwick, Esq., Sitting Magistrate , "Police -court, Marlborough-street." DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The School for Scandal was given last night, with air. Ranger as Sir Peter Teazle. This gentleman appeared, if we mistake not, some seasons ago at the Haymarket, princi pally in French character parts, and his provincial reputation is extensive and extending. Upon the whole, the represen tation of Sir Peter last night was successful. Mr. Ranger plays with great care, neatness, and considerable flexibility of power. The picture, however, was a miniature one, showing mechanical finish and neatness of manipulation, but destitute of bold free touches and bright and vivid colouring. There was a hardness and a scratchiness about the delinea tion which was unsatisfactory. It wanted strong features, and breadth, substance, and unction; while occasionally there appeared a strong relish of provincialism in the awk ward movements of Sir Peter, particularly in hi s an i mate d scenes, and in the want of artistic pose in the more level por tions of the play. Still, however, the performance was de cidedly clever and individualised, and Mr. Ranger will be an accession to the Drury-lane company. Mr. Anderson played Charles Surface with vigour, and more refinement and polish than we had expected. It was a dashing and artistic per formance. Mrs. Nisbett was the Lady Teazle, and Mr. John Cooper the Joseph. We observe that Miss Horton, who has seceded from the Haymarket, replaces Mr. Anderson this evening in Azael. The experiment is bold, and may not be an unsuccessful one. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. The summer season at this popular place of amusement commenced on Monday last, ane we can but congratulate the proprietor on the success of all his arrangements. The zoological collection is excellent, the giraffes are the finest we have seen, and the elephants, with their triumphal, car and decorated houdah, were quite an attraction. But the grand feature was another of those annual modelled pictures, which can only be seen at is this establish ment. The subject of the present one the Temple of Janus in the Eternal City. Most of our readers are aware that, during the sway of the Roman Emperors, the Temple of Janus, which was open during the time of war, was closed in peace ; the idea was a happy one, when peace is in the land and all the world at our gates, to illustrate the time, as emblematic of the grand re-union of 1851 We es teem this the happiest of Mr. Danson's efforts, for composi tion, for detail, and colouring; and when the enormous ex tent (upwards of 300,000 square feet) is considered, it cer tainly reflects the highest credit on the artist. The band was, as usual, in great force, and executed a variety of popular pieces with precision and effect. Mr. Godfrey con ducted, with firmness and judgment; and, in a short time, Mons. Jullien will weild the baton. There is another por tion of the amusements we find some difficulty in describing. It is called in the bills " Diaphonic Panop ticon." We thought the mania for panoramas had left nothing new in that department, but there is no limit to the invention of genius. It is described as 200 feet long, with figures 15 feet in height, and we have no reason to doubt the truth. It represents the horrors of war, and leads on to the exhibition of one of the most superb transparencies we ever beheld, representing the Queen on her throne , with his Royal Highness Prince Albert on her left, with Britannia and Peace introducing the arts and sciences of the world. We have hitherto only known transparencies as the daubs which we witness on illumination nights, but this is the production of an artist, and we much mistake if it opens not a new era in transparencies. We have faintly described it, but we advise a visit to do it justice. Southby followed with a display of fireworks, which he alone can produce. As we said at the commencement, we congratulate the proprietor onthe success of his efforts, and wish him a prosperous season.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION, Notwithstanding the gloomy, cold, and doubtful charac ter of the weather yesterday, the receipts of the Commission were larger than on the previous day, and an immense con course of people assembled in the interibr of the building. The fresh accessions of visitors, however (strangely enough), appear to have no effect in crowding the passages and ave nues ; for, as the novelties of, the nave and transept are ex hausted, the less frequented parts are explored, and numbers are thus drawn off from those central points where their pre sence might lead to inconvenience. While, by a slow but satisfactory process, the public are gradually adapting their examination of the interior to its arrangement and sectional importance, the Executive Com mittee are still anxiously considering the educational uses to which the occasion can be turned. They appear to feel the impossibility of establishing any organization for regular in struction among their adult visitors, but they en tertain hopes that the great metropolitan schools will avail themselves of this opportunity for a systematic and careful study of the Exhibition. To such institutions they would be prepared, we understand, to grant. every possible facility ; and, when the aptitude of youth to catch instruction at the eye is considered, it would be a thousand pities if such a chance were neglected. If our great seminaries have any real zeal in the cause of education, they will not hesitate at once to organize the means for turning this opportunity to profitable account, and from all we can learn we believe that they will find every disposition among those placed in authority to aid them in their efforts. rze NOFORT ES. The novelties observable are chiefly either decorative or such as have reference to the adaptation of the instrument to particular uses. The visitor will be charmed with the splendour and taste with which most of the pianos exhibited are ornamented and mounted. LACE GASSING MACHINERY. In the manufacture of lace, muslin, and other delicate fa brics, it has been found that.when the article comes from the loom its surfaee is covered, with a multitude of small hairy fibres, whim more or less disfigure it, and which it is neces sary to detachby some process which will not injure or de face the lace. The methods formerly adopted for removing these fibres from lace and other fine fabrics, was as follows :—An iron eylinder, whose length was equal to the width of the lace and muslin, was made red hot. The lace or muslin being stretched tight was then made to pass in contact with this red hot iron, being pressed upon it with a certain force, and moved over it at a certain speed, the speed and pressure being so regulated that the lace remained' in contact with the red-hot iron a sufficient time to burn off the superfluous fibres, but not a sufficient time to destroy or injure the deli cate fabriC itself. As the art of manufacturing gas was improved, and its application extended, it supplied an improved substitute for this purpose, of which the apparatus exhibited by Messrs. Burton and Earnes is an example. A row of gas-burners will be observed in the machine, the length of which corresponds with the width of the lace to be " gassed," as it is called. The lace is made to pass through this row of gas flames with a certain velocity. It is possible to give to the lace a velocity so great that the flame will not have time to destroy a single particle of the superflous fibre; and on the other hand, the velocity may be retarded, so as to destroy not only the fibre, but injure or destroy the lace. By experience a certain speed is ascer tained, which will give to the gas flames the time necessary to destroy the fibre without damaging the lace. This, however, is only one of a great multitude of contri vances of exquisite beauty and ingenuity which have contri buted to render the fabrication of lace by machinery one of our most important manufactures.

(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office aro—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion ,remium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The tree rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Mee will, by a constant analysis if its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes if Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clanse.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, MAT 6. Tlae market for wheat was firm at last week's prices. Barley, owing to the cold weather, was taken off rather more readily, such few samples as appeared. There being a large stock fair held this day, the business of the market was much in terrupted, and but few dealings appeared to be entered into. The long continuance, of wet, cold, and ungenial weather is reported to have not only retarded Vegetation, but seriously to have affected the growing crops of wheat and barley ; and of this latter grain there remain many thousands of acres of land yet unsown.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—We have again to report fair arrivals of wheat and barley, with mode rate supplies of other articles. Some proportion of the former has not come on the market, which has assumed a somewhat firmer appearance - only the finest descriptions of barley go off for malting, and thin light samples are obtaining the pre ference for grinding : anything between the two does not make its fair value. The weather during the past week has been cold and unseasonable, with frequent showers of hail and sleet. We had to day a moderate supply of wheat from our own and Lincolnshire farmers, with much less desire to sell than has been evidenced for some time past prices are low, and susceptible of some rise; the weather is not genial, and opinion strengthening that stocks are more drawn upon than usual at this seasoh. The business done was consequently but limited, and without alteration upon last week's rates. Foreign wheat is also held more firmly, and only small parcels on board steamers or vessels coming on demurrage are sold at last week's rates. The barley trade was hardly so good to-day : oats are in short supply and great demand. Beans fully sup port their value. Not much• inquiry for peas, except at a grinding price. A good arrival of linseed, which meets fair sale from ship. Cakes are to be bought on easier terms, but there is no accumulation of stock, and several mills are closed. Nothing doing in rapeseed.

We regret to announce the decease, after so early a retire • ment from public life, of the late Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, the Earl of Cottenham. His Lordship died at Pietra Santa, in the Duchy of Lucca, on the 29th ult , in the 71st year of his age. The Right Hon. Charles Christopher Pepys, first Earl of Cottenham, was second son of Sir William Weller Pepys (first Baronet), by the eldest daughter of the Right Hon. William Dowdeswell. He was brother to the Bishop of Worcester. Born, 1781; married, in 1821, the daughter of `William Wingfield, Esq., and niece of the second Earl of Digby ; graduated LL.B. at Trinity College, Cambridge, 1803 ; was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn, 1804 ; ap pointed a King's Counsel, 1826; Solicitor-General to Queen Adelaide, 1830; Solicitor-General to the King, February, 1834 ; Master of the Rolls, September, 1834 ; First Com missioner when the great seal was in commission, in 1835 ; Lord Chancellor from 1836 to September, 1841, and again appointed to that office in August, 1846; was appointed a Commissioner to consider the state of the bishoprics, 1817. Represented the borough of Malton in Parlia ment from 1832 to 1836 ; had previously sat for Higham Ferrars. The family of Pepys settled at Cottenham, in Cambridgeshire, early in the sixteenth century; and one of its representatives, Richard Pepys, was a chief justice in Ireland in 1664; his great-grandson was father of Sir Lucas Pepys, M.D., physician to George 111., and physician-general to the army, who received a baronetcy in 1784; and the brother of Sir Lucas was Sir William Weller Pepys, a Master in Chancery, who received a bt• ronetcy in 1801. Both these titles descended to Lord Cot tenham ; having succeeded his brother in the baronetcy (of 1801) in 1845, and his cousin in the baronetcy (of 1784) in 1819. In 1831, however, he received the honour of knighthood, and in 1E35 was appointed a Privy Councillor. He was created a baron in January, 1836, and was elevated to the dignity of an earldom on his retirement from his high office last year. The Hon. Charles Edward Pepys, born in 1824 (Clerk of the Crown in Chancery), succeeds his deceased father as Earl of Cottenham. Five other sons and six daughters survive their noble and distinguished parent. The Earl of Cottenham, it is scarcely necessary to add, throughout life was ever a consistent Whig, and a sound and impartial judge. DEATH OF THE EARL OF BANTRY. We regret to announce the death of the Earl of Bantry, which took place at Glengariff Lodge, county Cork, on Friday night, The Noble Earl was born on the 6th of August, 1767, and was consequently in his 84th year. The deceased nobleman was at all times a most, firm and consis tent Conservative. As a resident landlord he was justly popular with all parties, without distinction of, sect or creed. The titles and honours which' Lord Bantry so highly adorned ware bestowed by his Sovereign for his gal lant exertions in repelling the menaced invasion of a foreign enemy when the French fleet entered Bantry Bay in the year 1796. He was created Baron Bantry on th 31st of March, 1797, and was advanced, on the 29th of December, 1800, to the Viscounty of Bantry, and created, 22d of January, 1816, Viscount Beerhaven and Earl of 'Bantry. The late Earl was married, in November, 1799, to Mar garet Anne, daughter of William, first Earl of Listewel, and by her (who died in 1835) he had four sons and a daughter, the eldest of whom, Viscount Beerhaven, suc ceeds to the titles and estates of the deceased Earl. Viscount Beerhaven was married in October, 1836, to the Lady Mary O'Bryen, third daughter of William Marquis of Thomond. - - LONDON HOSPITAL MEDICAL ScnooL.—The an nual distribution of prizes took place on Tuesday, May 6th, in the presence of a large body of the governors of the hos pital, and of the pupils and their friends; Mr. C.

At Shrewsbury, the sport, as usual, is not ith A T t es p ta u t r o h r a w m ell i particularly crack, but, one or two stakes merit a brief notice. The Patshull Stakes.will be won by BADAJOZ. The Great Cleveland Handicap, in my opinion, ought to be car ried off by the owners of CANDLEWICK or COLSTEEDALE ; although Leap-Year, Flash and Zadoc, form by the " knowing ones." Le Julf is said to be a "good thing" for the Shropshire Stakes ; more deponent sayeth not.
