Tu t of th CHINAMAN or THE JIINK.—At the opening e Ellainition, the Chinese Barnum, now in London with sia o l i ll uki cut a conspicuous figure; and there were stories 1 14' more or less true, of his having been mistaken for a fav ou 4 no—admitted to a place in the procession—and even sitter red with the smiles of royalty. The Hong Kong Re tie (July 15) is amusingly wroth, and " can hardly tell 441 th ey or not to laugh or be angry" at the " stupid igno esfitee: of the English newspapers. " Hessing," says the p k i la r. between a laugh and a cry, " is, or rather was, a ship- Vitk e r ! W hampoa reach," and, when hob-and-nobbiug ‘tueen Victoria and the Duke," was doubtless laughing 4 4 ;4 4 1 8 sleeve at the stupid fankweis (or red-haired devils)." 41 i s h Yet, "philosophy coming to the aid of our irate brother, ta tcl e o we come to reflect on the many gracious presents I ,ity e 1,,, to Tom Thumb by her Majesty and the female nobi say nothing of the slobbering and kissing of that as oul portion, we cannot help thinking that our indignation lam a " ,h.ave been wrong ;as a full-fed, well-grown China aulP-painter though he be, is a more worthy object of 104 ir ation than the most wonderful dwarf ever bleat with 'a g ip ittidi ' of 2 1 4 feet." 3 , 41 , Luau LINEN TRADE.—Several samples of 4 , 14 4 of this y ear ' s fl ax have a l r e a dy been brought to market, % lit " all hands the quality is said to be much superior to b ett e Xhibited at the same season last year. The fibre yields etr o er h a going through the hackles, and the thread is much tiger when spun. The y arn market since Friday last has ee tk al old roogt altogether spinners keeping firm at ;tad ra teA, and manufacturers desiring to keep stock light, eleul ef esing to buy except to meet immediate demand. The f ee -Markets have not varied much as to prices, though the noi r tia g Appears somewhat improved. Drills are more in priced after, and diapers went off freely at Lurgan at fair ss,.F. Lawns are very dull, and so also is 4-4 cloth, which kis° i.ately largely purchased to meet the home trade. The r es t' continental advices do not present any new feature as as reta the trade.

JAMES'S THEATRE. There are some men born under a lucky star, or according to the vulgate, with " silver spoons in their mouths." Our friend Barnum is one of this for tunate class—there is nothing that he touches in which he does not achieve not merely a common suc cess, but a triumph of the most brilliant description. Some years since we found him introducing General Tom Thumb to British audiences, and creating a sen sation previously unparalleled in this country. Count less thousands flocked to witness the performances, and all parties concerned " realized" pretty hand somely by the speculation. And it is but justice to the manager to say that his youth ful protege participated fairly and equitably in the enormous profits, so that he had re tired with a handsome fortune at the age whtn other more capacious youths are commencing the education that is to fit them fur " the battle of life." Then he succeeded in luring the Swedish Nightin gale across the broad Atlantic. The golden nets were spread profusely ; few thought that an undertakivg involving so lavish an outlay could prove remunera tive, but Barnum was " wide awake," and the event fully verified the accuracy of his calculations. At present the Bateman children are the attractions which he offers to the sight-seeing pubic, and " the young couple" continue to draw crowded and fashionable audiences, who by their enthusiastic and rapturous approbation testify their astonishment and delight at the extraordinary and almost incredible performances of the infant prodigies. Last night witnessed their first representation in this country of Bornbastes Furioso Kate as the mighty Artaxomines, " yclept the great," and Ellen as the illustrious General. We need scarcely say that they were thoroughly at home in their respec tive parts, in which they bad already appeared on more than 250 occasions in the principal theatres of the United States. The maudlin wisdom of the con vivial Monarch was well represented by Kate, who made every point tell, while Ellen, bewbiskered and mustachoed, displayed a fierceness that might have struck terror into many a juvenile heart. The se niors appeared to enjoy the performances exceedingly, but it was among the more youthful portion of the auditory that the enthusiasm exceeded all bounds. The cup of felicity was for once filled to overflowing, and it was delightful to witness the pure, unalloyed happiness so unequivocally displayed on many beam ing countenances. To parents anxious to bestow a rich treat upon their children, we heartily commend these attractive and highly interesting e xhibitions, and if the rising hopes of their houses b e like all whom we have heard speaking of " Kato or Ellen," and contesting the claims of their respective favourite, we can assure them that a sensation will be occasioned that will not terminate with the evening of their visits. OLYMPIC THEATRE. Two revivals were produced successfully at this theatre last evening, being received by a crowded house with marked favour. The first was Mr. Dance's comedy of the Country Squire, in which Mr. Farren's make up as the " old English gentleman," to say nothing of his admirable performance, is enough of itself to draw a multitudinous attendance. Alto gether a more artistically finished portrait never was seen upon the boards. The two Messrs. Farren, jun., Miss Louisa Howard (who looked charmingly), Miss Adams, and, above all, Mrs. Alfred Phillips, sustained their several parts very creditably. The rustic dance was capitally done, and vehemently encored ; Flex more himself could not have got it up better. The other was the melodrame of The Demon Gift, in which Miss Fielding, albeit her fine figure was con cealed by an envious dress, and the part which she had to sustain was not one of great prominence, evinced high melodramatic talent, which was justly appreciated. Mr. Henry Farren was quite at home, melodrame being his forte, and Compton and Mrs. A. Phillips made a delightful Burgomaster and Vrow. The jolly farce of I've Eaten my Friend is running with undiminished attraction, and certainly the comicalities of Messrs. Compton and W. Shalders, who have a fund of most laughable humour, are irre sistible. The curtain fell about a quarter-past eleven, dismissing the audience delighted, and not wearied. LITERATURE. The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent ; with a Supplement containing the Condemnations of the early Reformers, and other matters relating to the Council; literally translated into English by Theodore Alois Buckley, 8.A., of Christ Church, Oxford. Routledge and Co. The publication of this translation is very oppor tune at the present moment. " To know what Roman Catholicism really is according to its own best accre dited testimony, we must turn to the pages of this Council; to try Rome fairly we must hear her plead her own cause." Such are the words of the translator in his preface ; and by publishing in a cheap form a rigidly literal version of the canons and decrees of this celebrated Council, without abridgment and without note or comment, Mr. Buckley has conferred a great obligation on all who way take part in the great con troversy between the Reformers and Rome, whether on the one side or on the other. The Comic History of Rome. No. V. Right merrily (lath our historian narrate the ad ventures of Pyrrhus and his troupe of educated animals, horse-riders, elephants, and swordsmen, during the period of their Italian engagement, and most grotesquely bath the pencil of Leech deguerreo typed their wonderful performances. The fun never flags. The Law and Practice of Registration and Elections, comprising the Registration of Electors' Act. incorpo rating the Reform Act, and the recent Statutes. By Edward W. Cox, Esq., Barrister. at. Law. Sixth Edi- Lion. Crock ford. The fact that this most carefully compiled and ad mirably arranged work has run through five large editions, and that the publication of a sixth has there fore become requisite, is proof sufficient that it is now par excellence the text. book on the subject of which it treats. The present edition presents a complete view of the law and practice of registration and elections, as it exists at the present moment, and incorporates all the decisions of the Court of Common Pleas upon appeals up to the present time. To the fifth edition the editor appended some most valuable instructions for the management of an election both by agents of candidates and by returning-officers, with a complete series of precedents of books and forms ; these in structions were found of such great practical utility that the editor has been induced to append to the pre sent edition similar practical instructions for the managementofregistration, and from a tolerably exten sive experience of the practice of the registration courts, we, can bear our testimony to the admirable manner iu which the editor has performed this portion of his duty, and to the great practical value of the instruc tions he has given. To all concerned in the manage ment of elections or registrations this excellent work should be a vade mecum. NEW MUSIC. A Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, Chants, etc., harmonised fur four voices, and adapted for the Organ or Pianoforte., By George Forbes. Mr. George Forbes has rendered the cause of church music much service by the opportune publica tion of this useful little pocket manual. All the or dinary psalm and hymn tunes and chants are here arranged for four voices, so that any worshipper pos sessed of the slightest knowledge of music can join in the psalmody with correctness, as he will no longer have to depend upon his capacity for catching the melody whilst it is played over once only by the or ganist. To all who desire to take part in that most important portion of the church service, the singing the praises of God, we cordially recommend this little work. It will enable them to do so decently and in order. TILE ARRIVAL OF KOSSUTH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It; consequence of numerous inquiries and many letters received requesting information respecting the reception of Kossuth, on his arrival in this country, I beg to state (being one of the committee appointed in May, 1850, to superintend the distribution of the subscrip tions raised in aid of the gallant but unfortunate Hungarian exiles), that the committee is summoned to proceed immediately to Southampton on receiving the communication by telegraph announcing his arrival, in order that the present and future arrange ments may be made according to circumstances on the spot, to sympathise and congratulate the illustrious patriot, and that his reception may be in every way worthy of a great, free, and enlightened people. The patriotic and liberal Mayor of South ampton, Mr. Andrews, has also made every possible preparation for the event, and will join and assist the committee on the important occasion. I remain your obedient servant, J. A. NICHOL AY. 82, Oxford-street. THE NEW APPEAL COURT IN CIIANCERT.—From and after to-morrow (Wednesday) the following clause in the New Chancery Act will take effect :—" From and after the Ist of October, 1851, all the juri s di c ti on o f th e Hi g h Court of Chancery in England which is now possessed and exercised by the Lord Chancellor of the said Court of Chancery, and all powers, authorities , and duties, as well ministerial as judicial , incident to such jurisdiction, now exercised and performed by the Lord Chancellor, shall and may be had, exercised, and performed by the said Court of Appeal." - - MANSION-HOUSE. —Yesterday the Lord Mayor en tertained the Lord Mayor elect, and the members of the Court of Aldermen, at dinner. Covers were laid for seventy in the Long Parlour, and there were also present the Re corder, the chairman of the several corporations of the City, the sheriffs and their chaplains, the City officers, and several private friends of the Lord Mayor. LONDON, SPORTING NOTES. No. CXXXV. TO-MORROW'S RACING AT NEWMARKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,--Wednesday'a list is more or less a skeleton one, tour events not having closed as yet ; beside these, it sports three stakes and three matches; none of them of any great account with the exception of the Third Triennial Produce and St. Leger. The St. Leger will be contested by Croupier (Butler), Midas (Norman), Merry Peal (Mame), Fochabers (Rogers), and perhaps Artisan; MERRY PEAL or MIDAS, as I have ob served before, the winner, with Croupier third, and Fochabers next. The field for the Second Triennial. Produce Stakes will be composed of Exotic filly, St. George, Sir Hercules colt, Cranberry, Utrecht, Clelia, Mickleton, Valentine, and Abdallab. As the Goodwo od party seem determined to withdraw one, if not both their horses, in case they should miss the mark, which it seems pretty evident they will do, I must give CRANBERRY or Clelia, 'the former for choice, the palm of superiority. The Granby Stakes will attract the following to the post :—Toga filly, Sophistry, filly by Cotherstone, out of Virago, Freedom. and France; the race will lie between the last named three, FREEDOM or FRANCE for choice. The Post Match for 300 soya. between Lord D.rby's and Lord Exeter's respective trios, sill of course result in the victory of the former's Longbow or Illeeanee colt. Lord Chfden's Stronybow will just beat Lord Glasgow's Knight of the Garter, at least that is my opinion. The other match between Sir J. Hawley's Songster and Mr. Hughes's Sophistry, will, as I observed before, be won by the cherry-colour of F% field, if it comes to a race. The movements on the CESAREWITCH have of late been somewhat queer, horse after horse rising rapidly in the market, and then as expeditiously falling; this of course can only be accounted for by the large acceptance and the numerous field expected at the post. Lord H. Lennox's Veiled Prophet—'yclept in days of yore the Khorassan's dam colt—now heading the Cesarewitch betting list at 11 to 1, probably is the most extraordinary elevation of the whole lot; for no sooner were the weights out than ho sprang from 100 to 25 to 1, everybody thinking—and with good reason, too—that a four years old by Gladiator, with sst 81b on his back, must be something atrociously bad if not capable of beating the Cesarewitch field at their respec tive weights; he, however, has been considerably higher than his present price, having at some of the list houses reached 6 to 1, and at Tattersall's has been backed as low as 8. The Grand Duke at the same price as Mokanna divided the premiership with him yesterday for the first time, and bids fair to become a greater favourite; he, however; in my opinion, stands no chance of carrying off this great stake. Hippolytus, andlwith some cause, was yesterday supported for a good sum at " the corner," and in the City, advancing him to 12 to 1 at many of the houses. Trickstress and Deride are dangerous animals, and must not have too many liberties taken with them; their respective prices are about 20 and 22 to 1. Cham pion actually finds supporters at 35 and 40 to ; how anybody on earth could back such a horse for this race I cannot conceive; with nothing on his back he could not win. Several others who have figured off and on in the market I shall make a point of glancing at at some future time. One move in the Subscription Rcom yesterday, though to a great extent expected, was the scratching of New minster for the Cesarewitch, and his immediate rise to the leadership of the Cambridgeshire horses. Prime Minister was in strong request, notwithstanding the advance of the last-named horse, 14 to 1 having been taken freely. If my past Derby's quadrupedal choice should be in fine fettle on the morn of the Cambridge shire day, it would not surplice me in the least were he to go home in a canter. Nancy I neither fancy for Cambridgeshire or Cesarewitch. Mr. Nichol seemed determined to startle the sporting public at " the Corner" yesterday; for in addition to his scratching Newminster for the great Handicap of the Second October Meeting, he disposed of his brother in next year's Derby also, by there and then scratching the once so much thought of Norlymt. I am, Sir, yours, &c., Sept. 30, 1851. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. The betting on the Cesaiewitch, although far from brisk, had the effect of driving Mokanna back to 11 to 1, Trickstress to 20 to 1, and Confidence to 1,000 to 15, and of raising The Grand Duke to an equality with the Goodwood favourite, and Hippolytus from 25 to 1 to 1,000 to 60 (takers) . Newminster, who was scratched for this event at a quarter before eleven in the morning, became first favourite for the Cambridgeshire, for which The Prime Minister was also in demand at a marked improvement on the previous quotation.

SHIP DESERTION.—Mr. Melouin, an extensive shipowner and merchant belonging to Newcastle, acting upon the 63d clause of the 7th and Bth Victoria, chap. 112, which gives power to any person, by information and sum mary proceeding before any justice or justices of the peace in or near where the offence has been committed, to recover penalties, &c., prosecuted several seamen for desertion. Four of the men pleaded guilty on Friday. but the fifth, Thomas Walker, having refused to do so, his desertion from the Montrose at Quebec was clearly proved by Captain W. Hemsley,the Sunderland shipping master. The magistrate sentenced one of:them to one month's imprisonment, another to six weeks, and a third to three weeks' imprisonment. The whole of their wages, amounting to 26 1 . 16s. 11d., was de clared forfeited to the owners of the vessels from which they had deserted, and Mr. Melouin having declared himself the agent of those gentlemen, the money was handed over to him to send to them. The men, by false representations, having procured fresh register tickets at Sunderland on the arrival of the Sprite, the collector of Customs in that port is determined to proceed against them at the quarter sessions, and upon conviction they will be subjected to twelve months' imprisonment. They are also liable to be proceeded against on another charge, two of them sailing under as sumed names, and the whole of them giving incorrect ac counts of themselves. The Court of Assizes of the Loire Inferieure tried, three days ago, a band of seven persons for having com mitted a aumber of desperate robberies - in that department. Provided with forged passports they went from place to place on pretence of exercising the trade of bankers ; and when opportunities presented themselves they perpetrated' all sorts of robberies. They then placed their booty in light carts and decamped to a distant part of the depart ment. They were accustomed to sleep and live in their vehicles, and it was some time before they were detected. They were, it is supposed, in communication with other bands which infest the southern departments. The chief of the band was a man named Riviere, and he attempted to kill the officers who proceeded to arrest him. He was condemned to death. One of his accomplices, named De laire, was sentenced to hard labour at the hulks for life; another, named Junot, to twenty years' bard labour at the hulks ; his mother, to imprisonment with hard lab seour ven for life; two women, named Derenne an d Guyard, to years' imprisonment with hard labour; and the seventh ac cused, a man named Guyard, was acquitted. On bearing the sentence cf death passed on her son widow Riviile uttered piercing shrieks. PRAISEWORTHY CONDUCT.—On Monday week, as three young girls were playing on a rock near Marsden, they were suddenly surrounded by the sea. They were observed sitting crying by several parties who were walking on the sands, but none of them were courageous enough to proceed to the rescue. At length, however, they were seen by t wo gentlemee vho happened to be passing. One cf them, Mr. Kewney, solicitor, of North Shields, immedia.ely stripped himself of his coat, vest, and boots, and waded to the rocks the girls were seated on, which was a considerable distance from the dry land. He succeeded in bringing the one girl after the other to the shore. amid the plaudits of the specta tors —Sunderland Herald.

The rpproaching close of the Exhibition nova begins to be felt unmistakably. Yesterday 3,205!. 133. was taken at the doors, and there were 68,532 visitors. Among them came Mary lierlynack ' the Cornish octogenarian, and, as w e h ave received several appli cations for her address, we may state that it is 12, Homer-place, Crawford-street, Marylebone. We have been requested to say that certain an nouncement of jury awards recently made by a morn ing contemporary are entirely inaccurate, the names of three jurors in one case being given as the winners of great medals, and in another section that of one juror. Third-class medals are also spoken of, though no such distinction exists or is contemplated. Pre mature and incorrect announcements of this kind in - flict a large amount of practical injustice, and the authorities of the Exhibition charged av ith the management of that department are naturally indig• tient at the attempts made to forestall their own la bours, which will be continued up to the last moment, so that publicity, when it is invited and desirable, Drill have the advantage of truth iu its favour. The programme of the closing is so far settled, and circulars are about to be issued to exhibitors, into; m log the m that the building will be closed to the pub lic on Saturday the 11th of October; that on the 13th and 14:h they will have the privilege of going there with two friends, and that on the 15th they are in vited to be present at twelve o'clock at the meeting of the Royal Commissioners. By this arrangement the exhibitors will have the farewell view of the Crystal Palace, and a deference i s th us s h own to their labours and their sacrifices on its behalf, which we are sure they will not be slow to appreciate. With a view to rendering the ceremony of the 15th as im posing as the circumstances will permit, Mr. Fox, the eminent contractor, has addressed a letter to the Exe cutive Committee, offering the services of the Sacred Harmonic Society in assembling 1,500 performers on the occasion, the whole to be conducted by Mr. Costa. As the period for the closing approaches, the propriety of some respectful observances of form to accompany it appears to be more deeply felt, but the Royal Com mission make no sign upon the subject. What was undertaken with the highest sanction of the State and with the solemnities of religion should obviously not be allowed to expire without some expression of gratitude for success, however simple and unpretending. There are, un doubtedly, difficulties presented by the season of the year and by other causes; but we cannot think that, with so many ingenious minds ready to devise a suitable method of showing public thankfulness, the practical realization of that sentiment should be withheld. If the Commission and the Prince have not the spirit to undertake it, the people will probably do it after their own fashion ; and, though a sponta neous effort of this kind is open to many disadvantsges and drawbacks, its genuine character cannot be doubted, and the impression which it produces, if suc cessful, is superior to the most premeditated and skil ful arrangements for display. We yesterday announced that the Royal Commis lion had given Messrs. Fox and Henderson legal notice of their intention to have the building re moved. It has long been known that the surplus would not be applied to its preservation, and, min gled with the interested opposition of private indie',_ duals, there has been struggling in the public mind for expression a desire that the fire . „ e o f th e Great Exhibition should rest for sur7port upon no perishable traces of its existence. There has been a widely entertained dread the , the celebrity of an event so successful and so grand in itself might be tarnished by the retersi!ron in permanence of an edifice intended only to he temporary. The roof was evidently faulty, and could not be , re paired. The plan of a w i n t er gar d en m i g h t perhaps I prove a failure, and failure on such a spot could not be contemplated without pain. By their charter the Commission had no power over the disposal of the surplus, a contingency not contemplated in that docu ment. No aid for the Crystal Palace or for Mr. Paxton's scheme could be expected, therefore, from that quarter ; but even if the Commission had a choice, they had pledged their money for different purposes. Obviously a body constituted as theirs was, could not with propriety commit itself to objects which, how ever praiseworthy, were so different from those fur which it was formed. As we have already stated, among the schemes started for the appropriation of the surplus there appears to be but one point on which the desirable unanimity appears to prevail. That point is, that the principal, whatever it may amount to after the payment of all just and reasonable claims, should be funded for the promotion of future exhibitions. Looking upon this as a settled matter, a number of public wants have made themselves manifest in con sequence of the great event that has signalized this year, and which had that event not happened, might long have remained in obscurity. In the first place, it will not henceforth be denied that a great com munity like that of London, embracing 2,000,000 of human beings, ought to have provided for them, since it is practicable, a place of public resort where they can obtain healthful enjoyment, and innocent and suitable recreation under cover, and independ ently of the influences of a most uncertain climate. The inhabitants of the metropolis have been clearly shown that this is possible, and there can be no good argument for withholding from them an advantage and a blessing so unmistakable. In the capitals of many other countries nature has provided a steadiness of climate which renders shelter from the changes of the weather less necessary but here we are always at the mercy of the skies for our most natural and in dispensable pleasures. Parks for the recreation of the wealthier classes stand least in need of such edi fices as the Crystal Palace. Primei facie, therefore, the most appropriate site for a building of the kind would be one of the new spaces recently or now about to be cleared for the use of the middle and humbler orders. Some time ago a suggestion was made that the Crystal Palace, after it had served its present pur pose, should be removed to the new park at Battersea, and there converted into a winter garden, and appro priated to such other purposes of public instruction and rational amusement as might be deemed desirable. 'that suggestion was at first allowed to drop, but has lately, we understand, been seriously revived, and is now under close discussion and examination. The public will no doubt be surprised that the ques tion of preserving the remarkable edifice in Hyde park has taken this form ; but, upon consideration, we think they will not be indisposed to receive favourably a plan which has many points to recommend it. There will be no opposing interests to the Crystal Palace at Battersea. The steam-boat companies, the railways, and those who hope to avail themselves of the new park, will all be strongly for the removal. The inha bitants of Kensington who think the building a nui sance will rejoice, and the ornamental character of the exterior, called in question at the West-end, will not be disputed on the river. In fact, a site may there be appropriated to it which may render its aspect ex• tremely imposing, and do something to relieve the banks of the Thames from the ruthless desecration and disfigurement to which they have so long been exposed. Again, at Battersea the winter garden, and the other popular attractions which such a structure might combine beneath its roof, would bo far more easily within the reach of 'the mass of the inhabitants of London than could be the case in Hyde-park. Steamers might deliver their pas sengers on the the terrace whereon the building stood, There is one railway close at hand, and there will be another on the north side of the river shortly. 'The new suspension-bridge in course of construction opens up the communication to Pimlico and the fashionable parts of the town. As another roof seems requisite, the removal would afford an opportunity for supply ing that defect. But, above and beyond all other advantages, the Crystal Palace might be made the medium of elevating the rude and uncivilised tastes of those swarms who, during the summer months especially, betake themselves to the river for amuse ment. Battersea is a favourite haunt of this class, and the spectacle which it presents, especially on Sun day afternoons, is disgraceful to the metropolis. There are collected thousands of the gamins of London, of the idle and the dissolute of both sexes, who while away their time in sports of the lowest and most vul gar kind. A large gipsy encampment is close at hand, the inhabitants of which prey upon the spare coppers of the young cockneys. Swings and round abouts are in full and dangerous operation ; rifle gal leries " for all nations" are in abundance, and the owners of them drive a roaring trade. " The finest Barcelona nuts" may be won by shooting at the paste board figures of clowns, who grin as they receive the bolt. Cocoanuts, "warranted milky," are the prizes of the successful competitors at " knock-'etn•down." Then there are donkey rides and races on the most miserable screws of poneys, fit only for the knacker's yard ; vendors of unripe fruit, stale pastry, and dele terious drinks, hawk about their goods, and " cold nectar," and " sherbet," anything but " blest," flow from filthy reservoirs into still filthier glasses at the rate of a halfpenny to each customer. Cold fried fish, pickled onions, pettitoes, and " hot pickled eels" are among the choicest comestibles on sale, and the spare pence that such attractions as we have enume rated do not absorb go in lotteries, weighing machines, " strength testers," fortune telling, or beer. One space of ground, not more than two acres in extent, is sublet to an enterprising gipsy for 30/., and he not only covers that expense but makes a handsome profit from the itinerant costermongers whom he accommo dates. This will give some idea of the way in which the whole is managed ; but the picture of Battersea would not be complete were we not to mention that it is the favourite house of pigeon shooting and of pedestrianism—that there edifying matches are constantly in progress, in which sporting and fancy celebrities may be backed to any amount. To such scenes and amusements the Government plan of a public park will necessarily put a stop, but a park for the people without a shelter in bad weather, or the facilities for rational enjoyment, drives them back upon the rude and vulgar devices of the commonest fair. We can not hope altogether to extirpate such tastes as those which find their gratification iu the manner described. Extinguished at Battersea they will re-appear else where. Every effort, however, to provide for the proper entertainment of the humbler classes diminishes the tendency to seek for pleasure in such scene:, nor can it be questioned that along the banks of their favourite Thames there is a lamentable want of decent accommodation for the inhabitants of London. To supply that want the idea of removing the Crystal Palace to Battersea Park has been taken up. There are pecuniary difficulties in the way, and arrangements necessary with that awkward power in the State, the Woods and Forests, through which it is not easy to effect a passage; but, if the public are favourable, minor objects will disappear, and we shall avoid the stupidity and extravagance of totally destroyin g an edifice which is acknowledged to be the greatest mar vel of. the Exhibition, and which has cost us a large sum of money to build, which we want for many useful purposes, but for one especially, and which, though turned out of Hyde peak, may, in a less pre tentious locality, still lay claim to the title of tLe Palace of Industry. The Red and the White House at Battersea may with advantage give way to the great greenhouse which it is contemplated to send there. - COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SUNDAY, SEPT. 28.

Last evening a meeting, convened by the advocates of the new American costume, of which Mrs. Amelia Bloomer is the reputed founder, was held in the British Institution, Cowper-street, Finsbury. It was announced that the proceedings would commence at half-past eight o'cloet, and that Mrs. C. H. Dexter would address the meeting upon the proposed Trans atlantic reform. Long before seven o'clock many hundreds of persons assembled in front of the build ing ; awl, though the crowd was extremely dense, the mob unusually violent, and the demands for admis- P.'.on indescribably clamorous, the clock struck eight before the doors were opened. As may be readily imagined, the assembled persons pressed with great zeal into the building; some were trodden down, others fainted, and the large hall, which is capable of holding about from 1,200 to 1,500 persons, rapidly filled. The prices of admission were fixed as fol lows :—For the hall, 3d. ; for reserved seats, 6d. ; and for the platform, Is. ; but owing to the want of arrangement that prevailed, not one out of a hundred wbo entered the building paid anything for admis sion. Of the persons present five to one were men, who could not be supposed to have any direct interest i❑ the change of costume which the Bloomers re commend. The interval which elapsed between the admission of the auditory and the time appointed for the en trance of the Bloomers was passed in a most disordery manner. All sorts of jokes and witticisms were bandied about, and some very coarse remarks were made at the expense of the dress reformers. As the principal performers were after time, it was suggested that a grand chorus of "Buffalo gals, can't you come out to-night," would be an appropriate invitation to ex pedition. Soon after this one of the vergers of St. Paul's Cathedral, a portly•looking man, placed him self in the presidential chair, and was loudly but ironically cheered. A gentleman, who seemed to be an official person, jumped upon the table, at this stage of the proceed ings, and delivered the following address :—" Ladies and Gentlemen—l am requested by the managers to state that Mrs. Dexter is outside, and as soon as the police can clear the crowd which is pressing upon the doors without, she will appear." Another person in formed the meeting that Mrs. Dexter would appear so soon as the uproar ceased. She could not be ex pected to enter while the meeting was conducting itself in a manner disgraceful to a British audience. —(Great uproar.) The Verger of St. Paul's—The sooner the better, or else there will be a jolly row.—(Laughter and cheers.) I don't much care, I've got a very com forteble seat here. lialf-past nine o'clock arrived, and the indignation of the meeting vented itself in the most fearful yel ling. Threats of damage to the building were pro claimed, and great anxiety prevailed lest injury might be inflicted. A man, habited in theßloomer costume, came upon the platform, and addressed the meeting as follows: " Ladies and gentlemen, according to arrangement, my wife, Mrs. Dexter, is here in this room. We have been waiting in the next room for half an hour, and could not get out ; but if you will be quiet Mrs. Dexter will come.—(Uproar.) I wish her to come forward if she is in the room. When she was in the next room she was obliged to change her costume with another lady, in order to get through the crowd. I missed her, and I can tell no more."—(Uproar.) As there appeared no symptom of Mrs. Dexter's arrival, loud cries again rose from every part of the hall. Several gentlemen demanded to know who were the committee appointed to manage the matter, and Mr. Taylor having announced himself one of that body, he was informed that proceedings would be taken against him and others at the police-office, for ob taining money under false pretences. This intima tion was received with great favour by the meeting, who cheered it most vociferously. A loud cry was raised for the chairman, and the verger of St. Paul's, who had been occupying his post, and calmly surveying the agitated state of the meeting, rose and beat a hasty retreat. There was another cry for Mr. Dexter, but he had disappeared. Mr. Taylor, a committeeman, informed the meeting that it was intended to defer the meeting until next Monday, when the hall would be opened free. On being asked to return the money paid fur admission, he said he could not find the checktaker.—(Loud ex pressions of indignation.) He was about attempting to effect his escape, when he was roughly seized and made prisoner by the gentlemen on the platform. The excitement at this stage of the proceedings was of a frightful character. Through a window at the extreme end of the hall, a dummy, in rough Bloomer costume, was suspended. There was a des perate rush from one end of the hall to the other, and many persons were seriously injured. A young woman, who had been standing in the body of the ball, made her way to the platform, and ascended the table. Under the impression that it was Mrs. Bloomer in ordinary female costume, the meet ing cheered her with great enthusiasm, and then re lapsed into a dead silence. She then addressed the meeting as follows :—Ladies and gentlemen, I have got on this platform to show you that if Mrs. Dexter is here in this room she can come up here with the greatest ease.—(Heart hear.) Gen tlemen will allow her to pass, and not only allow her to pass, but assist her if she will make the attempt. —(Cheers.) Come forward, Mrs. Dexter, if you are here.—(Renewed cheering.) Come forward, if you do not wish to make fools of the ladies and gentlemen who are present. Mrs. Dexter, I call upon you to come forward and show yourself to these gentlemen. There is no corner of the room from which you can not pass through these gentlemen, dense as the crowd is.—(Cheers.) If Mrs. Dexter will not come for ward, let those who are connected with her return the money that has been paid at the doors. If she does not do that, all this proceeding will be put down as a swindle. My opinion is, ladies and gentlemen, that you are collected here to be laughed at or to have your pockets picked. I am told that a committee of men undertook to manage this affair; why, then, don't they do their duty. If women had formed the committee you would have seen the lady (Mrs. Dexter).—(Loud cheers.) A call was raised for Mr. Taylor, the committee man, and he stood side by side on the table with the valorous young woman who had undertaken to lead the meeting. He presented a most pitiable and la mentable appearance, being a person of small stature. The young woman, taking him by the hand, said— Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the responsible parties, one of the committee. Mrs. Dexter has gone, the check-taker has gone, and this poor young man has been left to settle the matter with you. The young woman (addressing Taylor)—What have you to say, sir ? Mr. Taylor, looking very disconsolate, held his hat before his eyes, but volunteered no explanation. Some conversation took place between Mr. Taylor and his fair assailant, during which time the auditory remained very silent. At length she said, " This gentleman says Mr. Dexter has gone to seek his wife, _(Rears of laughter) —and yet they say Mrs. D ex ter is in the room. What do they mean by all this? Let this poor young man explain it. He says be can't give you coy information, and so here he is, and I throw him upon your mercy. Do what you like with him. Wait a minute, however, and I will ask him question or two.—(Loud cheers ) The young woman—What are your name and ad. drets ? I Mr. Taylor (very slowly and very feebly)—l don't think it right to tell. The young woman—Thera is a man who calls .wirre ' 4 4 self an Englishman and is ashamed of his (Hear, hear.) 1 will ask him another question;4lo that is, whether he knows how the money whietrhall ,, li'lliz‘.l47. 4 " been collected a t th e d oors has been disposed of? _ Mr. Taylor—l don't know, the checktakekkime. gone.—(l - lisses and y e ll s .) ‘4,...:<`-• The young woman (addressing Taylor) —have * N got any mon e y ?—(T remendous cheering.) .Mr. Taylor made some reply, but it was inaudible to every one but the young woman, who said, " Gen tlemen, he says he has got money in his pocket, but it dues not belong to him." Upon this announcement being made, a vast body of persons pushed towards the platform, determined to take summary vengeance upon poor Taylor. He was driven right and left with merciless violence, sod would probably have sustained some iejury, had i of the police ent , red, and seei.ig the danger to Rhiel he was exposed, judiciously removed him. Several other persons addresrd the meeting in in impassioned manner, denouncing thrl whole al'idtr as an unmitigated hoax and unqualified swindle. '1 he remarks wnich were directed pPrsonzily towards Mee. Dexter and the leaders of the Bloomer party the law of libel forbids us to publish. As there seemed to be no chance of the promi,ed address by Mrs. Dexter, the auditory dispersed with violent invectives against Bloomerism and its ad vocates. There seems to be no doubt that the immense nun of persons who assembled completely daunted Mrs. Dexter. It is equally certain that, although there were many persons present who were disposed to treat the matter as a joke, the vast majority of the audience would have secured for Mrs. Dexter a fair hearing, and have protected her from any annoyance. The attention which the young women, whose part in the proceedings we have detailed, met is a sufficient ex emplification of this fact. LAUNCH OF 7'HE DEMERARA ROYAL MAIL STEAMER. The launch of this colossal steam-ship, built for the Royal West India Mail Steam-packet Company, took place at Bristol on Saturday evening's tide. The Deme rara was constructed by Messrs. Patterson, of Bristol, well known as the builders of the Great Britain, the Great Western, the Royal mail steamers Severn, Avou, &c. The launch was intended to have taken place at ten o'clock in the morning, at which hour large crowds assembled to witness the ceremony, and the numerous vessels in the floating harbour were gaily dressed in the flags of all nations. Owing, however, to some unforn. seen delay, the water had fallen about two feet before all was ready; the launch accordingly had to be post poned till the evening's tide, when everything went oif as prosperously as could be wished. She was christened by the lady of Lieutenant Haste, RN., the Commodore of the West India Steam Company's ships. With the exception of the Great Britain, the Demerara is the largest steam-ship afloat; her length of keel is 276 feet; length between the perpendiculars, 282 feet ; length over all, 316 feet (about 6 feet shorter than the Great Britain). Her breadth of beam is 41 feet, and extreme width from the outside of the paddle• bexes, 75i feet; depth to the main deck, 26 feet S inches; depth of spar-deck, 7 feet.; tonnage, old mea surement, 2,318 tons; new, upwards of 3,000 tons. Sho is ; built of sound British oak, teak, and pine, is diago nally.trussed with iron, has copper fastenings throughout to the 21 feet Mark, and iron fastenings above that. Sho will be propelled by two engines made by Messrs. Caird and Co., of Greenock, on the side-lever principle, of the combined power of 750 horses, or 24,500,0001 b., 96.. inch cylinders, and 9 -feet stroke. They will be attached to a pair of Morgan's patent feathering float-paddles. An elegant dejeuner was given on the occasion at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, at which about 50 gentlemen sat down. Mr. Patterson presided, supported by Cap tain Mangles (one of the directors of the company) and Lieutenant Haste, R.N. Captain Mangles stated that Lieutenant Haste, as their commodore, bad been di rected to inspect the whole of the five new vessels built for the company, and select the one he preferred for his personal command. Lieutenant Haste had selected the Demerara—a fact that spoke volumes in her favour. THE QUICKEST VOYAGE 7'o CHINA. Our Aberdeen correspondent says :—The Chrysolite, a clipper ship, built at Aberdeen by the Messrs. Hall for the Liverpool and China trade, has just made thaw voyage from Liverpool to Anjeer in eighty days. This is the quickest voyage on record. The Oriental made the same passage out in 89 days, and that was without precedent ; but, for the present, the Chyrysolite has the F.lm. This ship, we understand, was built ex pressly to contest the voyage with the Oriental, and no expense was spared on her to make her worthy of the, British name. She is, we believe, of 500 tons burden, per register, but carries nearly 900 tons of tea, and this is the desideratum which this new build has realized, and which promises soon to be generally adopted. It is now eleven years since the Aberdeen bow was invented by the Messrs. Hall, of that city, and its history is highly creditable to the private enterprise of the city. The lasts aro simply these,—ln the ) car 1839 a company was formed in Aberdeen to run a class of superior suiting vessels in opposition to the steamboats of the Abtrdeeu and London Seam Navigation Company ; they ap pli(d to the Messrs. Hall to construct a model for a fast schooner : these gentlemen suggested a devia tion from the ordinary form, and showed also that by the new law of tonnage measurement the properties of fast sailing and large tonnage burden might be com bined. They proposed to run the stern out so as to form the cutwater, and to make the floor and run in propor tion to the sharpness of the bow. The vessel built on this model was masted end rigged pretty much after the channel fashian, and surprised everybody by the quick ness of the voyages which she made bete een Aberdeea and London. Three other vessels were built on the same plan; and thenceforward the Aberdeen bow was a triumph in naval architecture, Since then Messrs. Hall have built 50 vessels, measuring about 30,000 tons per register; they were tor owners in London, Liverpool, Leith, China, and India; and it is a remarkable fact, that only one of these ships has been wrecked or cast ashore, or even seriously damaged, although they have been all constantly at sea since they were built. The other shipbuilders there have also adopted the bow; and vessels for the Indian and China trade are turn,c_d off the stocks almost every month. These clippers hrhe re• peatedly outsailed the best ships in the British navy; and it is to be hoped that they will soon supersede the common model—now the cause of a great loss of life and property.—Moreinq Paper. FATU._ OMNIBUS COLLISION.—On Sunday evening last, as ME Joel Slater, butcher, of Lower Belgrave-place, Pimlico, was returning home from Richmond in a light spring cart, accompanied by his housekeeper, when pass ing Kew-bridge one of the Brentford omnibuses, which was coming along at a smart pace, caught the wheel of the shandry before Mr. Slater could pull on one side, and over-_ turning the vehicle precipitated both him and his house keeper a considerable distance into the road. When taken taken up it was found that Mr. Slater's neck was dislocated. Surgical assistance was immediately procured, but he sbortly expired. The housekeeper was picked up quite insens.;hle, and it was ascertained that she had suffered a compou.ed fracture of the leg.

FIRES AT GRIZENIVICH AND APSLEY PHILATT'S GLASS Worms.—Last night, shortly before twelve o'clock. considerable confusion was caused in the immediate neigh. bourhood of Holland -street, Blackfriars-road, in consequence at dense volumes of smoke issuing from the several wiei dews of the mustard mills and Apsley Pellatt's glass werks in that thoroughfare, which impressed the inhabit tints that both the tremendous pile of buildings were on lie, and messengers were forthwith sent in various directions to call the engines. In the space of a few minutes the West of England and Brigade engines, to the number of seven reached the spot, when it was found that the fire had occurred through the overheating of one of the kilns in the last-named premises, and that a quantity of timber had become ignited. ilhe workmen on the premises got the engine belonging to the establishment out, and fortunately succeeded in extin guishing the fire in time to prevent a terrible confiragreVon. About two hours previously a mounted express arrived at the Southwark-bridge station, with intelligen ce o f a fire having broken out at Greenwich, near the church. Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the D district, immediately started with an engine and a strong body of firemen to the scene, when it was ascertained that the outbreak had occurred on the premises belonging to Mr. T. Moore, a stay-manufacturer in Stock well-street, immediately facing Greenwich parish church. It appears that whilst Mrs. Moore was arranging her head dress, she accidentally set fire to some wearing apparel, and in an instant the flames shot over the room, and set fire to everything therein. Mr. Moore, jun., in rendering assistance to subdue the fire, was much burned:over the hand. The parish engine with that belonging to her Majesty's Dock yard, having arrived, before the news could be conveyed to London the lire was happily extinguished, but not until con siderable damage was done, not merely to the contents, but also to the building. Mr. Moore was insured in the Royal Exchange Eire. office. EARTHQUAKE AT SEA.— Captain Graves of the barque Panama, arrived at New Orleans on the 2(. 1 rust., from Rio ee Janeiro, reports that while off the Grand Caymans, on the ::id ult., felt a severe shock of an eiArth quake, which shook his vessel very much. It occurred at about five r.M. CoLaamoa oN HORSEBACK.—Coleridge was a re markably awkward horseman—so much so as generally to attract notice. lie was once riding along the turnpike-road in the county of Durham, when a wag, approaching noticed his peculiarity, and (quite mistaking his man) thought the writer a fine subject for a little sport, when, as he drew near, he thus accosted Mr. C. :—" I say, young man, did you meet a tailor on the road ?" " Yes," replied Mr. C. (who was never at a loss for a rejoinder), "I did; and he told me, if I went a little farther, I should meet a goose:" The assailant was struck dumb, while the traveller jogged on. —Dr. Chalmers's Life. THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPIL By means of substituting a coil of gutta percha for a distance of about half a mile, its lieu of "cable," which was shortcoming to that extent, the communi cation between coast and coast has " now" been com pleted. The gutts perch coil is joined on to the cable out at sea, where its extremity is secured to a buoy, but it is very questionable whether this con trivance can be anything but temporary, in view of the result of the experiment with gutta percha alone last year, seeing that should the gutta percha, neces sarily fragile and perishable when subjected to sea action, be affected, the entire communication must thereby be suspended. Yesterday, the question of manufacturing the short amount of additional cable required was, it is understood, discussed by the pro moters, and there is very little doubt that, in order to make the sea line of communication intact and in tegral, this will have to be done. There seems to have been a want of foresight or calculation somewhere in not having " in hand" enough cable to meet any emergency. It was represented that the expedition carried out four miles of surplus over the calcu lated track, and it is difficult to discover how this could be, when the divergence from the given line of way to be provided for did not exceed one mile and a half. Though the cost of the cable is estimated at 501. or GO/. per ton, which, for the whole 200 tons, would amount to 12,000/., a few miles more of it might have been advantageously worked off'; for even if not required for the present experiment, it would have been available for the second or third cable in tended to be laid down. The gutta percha that now connects the cable at the buoy with the French coast, had fortunately been sent over in a coil of four miles for inland use, before the expedition started, and so far came in opportunely. Thu cable, in addition to the buoy already mentioned, is secured to a second buoy about a mile and a half off the coast. A general opinion appears to prevail that, had the expedition started an hour or two earlier, the difficulties it en countered would have been avoided. The principal injury, if any, the cable is surmised to have sus tained, is at a "join," where the wire layers are welded, about mid-channel, aol when the Blazer was 10 or 12 miles out, and where the strain and stormy time first commenced. The process of drawing the cable up and redelivering it in a more direct line is not likely to be attempted. The crew, as they were towed up to Woolwich on board the Blazer, where she is now in dock, encountered a tremendous pas sage. The Black Eagle, Captain Hutchins in com mand, left Calais with the Blazer at six on Friday evening, and arrived through a driving sea in Mar gate Roads at 2 A.M. The Blazer, having no ballast, and being nothing but a mere shell upon the breakers, rolled to and fro like a porpoise. The crew in the midst of the squall, being incessantly sick, could neither stand on their legs nor lie down, while the crockery and everything in the hold of the old hulk came rattling about their heads. At Margate the Monkey, Government steamer, took them in tow to Woolwich, and they are now recruiting themselves about the works at Wrapping. The junction of the cable with the French tele graphs is understood to be proceeding, and also the connexion between the South Foreland, some four miles, and the telegraph.c,ffice of the South-Eastern Railway Company at Dover, which will at once give a thorough telegraphic communication with the Con tinent. THE GREAT TELEGRAPHIC CABLE. GNETIC UNION of BRITAIN and 141 7 11110 E. There are still doubts of the sufficiency of the means, and certainly a power of tenacity overcome by a force 8 tons' weight is as nothing to forces which it may meat with in the great deep. That it is a decided improve ment on the last, however, there can be no doubt. The last was a mere wire coated with gutta peroha to a thickeess like that of a small wax taper. We pointed out both then and previously the imprudence of trusting to gutta percha under such circumstances, and wo now find eliburate precautions taken to protect that substance from the destroying agencies of the ocean. These arc no more than necessary. We even find from the Berlin correspondence el the Times that the gutta percha which cov:rs the Prussian telegraphs is constantly being destroyed by vermin, such as rats, although placed under ground for comparative safety. Tar itself and flax are still vegetable substance., and may bo acted on under the ocean—as timber is, for instance, by the to edo navalis— so as to bo not very long a protection to the enclosed ga m percha even yet, any more than the galvanized iron wire, thought that in ordinary circumstances certainly a ppears to cc by no means so corturible as iron n a t ura lly i s . l i Lly it not become deg,slvinized in course of tele graphic use under the calm ? We, even yet, have not heard of adequate experimental test or inquiry having been gone into on these points. The present renewed experiment is rather a costly one, and of course it is de sirable that the materials used should be as lasting and effective as well as strong as possible.— Builder.
