Thell grand jury having been sworn and empanelled, lep e t„ e 4 hoaDEa proceeded to charge them to the lol i/eatitlg P t ifect:--Lle said the number of offences was c; m tettr, ' 4 l Speaking small, but considering that only ' 0 0h ,leen days had elapsed since the lest session, he th id not congratulate them upon the lightness of th at radar. He was happy, however, to tell them ii ii , there had been no re rious increase in the e b," l , ti ta e e e of the metropolie, arid it would therefore be tte essary to detain them for any length of time from ti'le d ischarge of their important duties. Unfortunately i h e il r i e were two charges of murdt r. One was a case ot Ith o-tnurder, and in treat the only question would b . e, t t , 'tiler or not the death of the child was occasioned in dellitienally or was the result of accident in the course of kiliv,iery. Still, if they should find that the chial was hl l e r i' i. b y any act of the mother, it would be necessary t d o e tt " the matter for further investigation. The secon . te and liit. 2 , charge against a husband of stabbing his d eath ' l here there was no doubt whatever that the lips was caused by the act of the accused, te tt - wer what circumstances tho act was come it e „ did not appear upon the depositions, end e4 a s °Pen to them to reduce the nature of the fence if In the course of their inquiry something should 1 14 i i 3 :i out to explain awey or mitiewe the conduct of the It: ' 111(1 , or otherwise it would ' be their duty to find a k_9 bill for murder. There was one case of rape, a-. d beireference to that all he had to observe was simply that % m ere they could send the case for trial they must be l eh l t a ; 'd that the woman resisted, at d was not a con iteitig party to the in•ercourse.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JUNE 24. Although the supply is by no means so abundant as it hits been for some months past, there is a fair amount of capital on the market, for investment, and we cannot (theuver so much stringency in financial circles as some woull have the public to believe. It is true dearer rates are in most cases paid upon every class of securities. Foreign (sehanges have teen rather inactive since the departure of the Pacific. Bills on London may be quoted at 1101 to 1104; Paris, 5 07k; Amsterdam, 41-;2 to 42; Ilamburgh, 36:1 to 37; Bremen, 791 to SO. Cotton— l'he home traders continued to buy freely. Their purchases ranged from 1,200 to 1,500 bales daily, embracing all grads above strict middling, which, being scarce, are diffioult to purchase at annexed quotations. Grades under middling are still much neglected, but firmly held considerably above the limits of foreign orders. The Arctic's letters were about the tenor anticipated, and have produced no other effect than a firm feeling. The sales reported were 2,000 bales, nearly all to the trade, at very full prices.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. (EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 2d, the House made pro gress with the County Courts, and the Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill, in Committee. On Thursday the Oath of Abjuration (Jews) Bill, after a number of ostentatious protests on the part of opponents, serving only to display the weakness of their side, was read a third time and passed, without a divi sion. The Greenwich election was alluded to, in a way that throws light on the peculiar processes of reasoning which may be pressed into the service of a failing cause. The reason of the election of a Jew at Greenwich, was represented as being the circumstance, that both the c a ndidates were Liberals and in favour of the admission of Jews to Parliament. The further circumstance which nobody was expected to see, being that no opponent to the admission of Jews dared show his face. The representative for Greenwich was expected to present himself on Thursday to take his seat; but it 1 appeared he had determined to postpone it till after the decision of the Lords. This may be polite, but it may be doubted whether it is politic. The Lords will only take huff at the notion of being capitulated with. On Friday the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill was brought on for third reading. The Member for Abingdon (Sir F. Thesiger) made an able use of the last bull of the Pope, and the still more spicey document of the Archbishop of Florence under date of 9 June, which are to be found in the Times of Tuesday 1 July. It is quite clear that the Pope and his advisers, like able strategists, counting on the support they have received from the most active part of the Dissenters and 'Ultra- Liberals, have determined that the morsel to be swal lowed, like that of the prophet, shall be rolled in as much dirt as they are able to contrive. We are put up for sale by the Pope, for one hundred days liberty of fornication, or any other sin more to the taste of the purchaser. And the Archbishop of Florence concentrates the offer into an elixir, like the drop in the middle of the frozen bottle of champagne, by offering one day's indulgence a discretion, to any who will engage in the holy work. What particular day's work, and what particular choice of day, did the Archbishop point at? Was it to chuse the day of going to the Exhibition, and shoot at the Queen? Whether it was this or not, God and the Archbishop know. But it is for the dullest of man kind to know, that it is within the meaning of the terms. I' he House of Commons, as I have often told you, is a place for the concealment of ideas; if a friend of yours had tried to say this there, he would have been put down as an impertinent. ut there is no need to con ceal the opinion out of it, that an authority which thus openly sells us for sin, ought to be treated like the authority of the Sheikh the imperfect philology of our forefathers denominated the " Old Man of the Moun tain." It is possible that many of his followers were good kind of men, "forward in field and pleasant in nail;" but they were bound to execute the commands of their mountain chief whatever they might be, with reserva tion only of the possibility that if the order came to be di rected specifically to themselves, they might throw up their allegiance. It might, or might not, be politic and wise, to place such a sect under general disabilities and incapacities. But however impolitic or impossible it might bo to be severe on individuals, it would be but common sense to keep an eye upon the mandates from the Mountain centre. Suppose, now, thut the followers of this Chief had pleaded, that it was always known that they bore alle giance to such and such a power. That it had never oeen disguised and never would be, that his commands had been in times past of such and such a nature, and had been obeyed by those who chose to obey them, as they would be again. That consequently there was no medium between entire refusal of toleration to the fol lowers of the Old Man aforesaid, and full liberty of re ceiving his commands. Would not this have been, word for word, the argument urged in the late debates, and backed by those of other sects who, under the pretext of religious liberty, have chosen to take the part of allies? Is there, for instance, at this moment, an oppo nent of the Government's measure, who, if there bad been laid on the table a copy of the medal struck by Gregory XIII. on occasion of the VGONOTTORVM STRAGES which we call the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, would have dared to deny, that what was done then was right, that if ordered again it must be obeyed again, by virtue of the infallible rectitude of the orderer? Here, then, is your position. You are treating with men who believe in an authority, which in the prt sent hour of supposed improvement vauntingly sells sin, and holds out the license for mysterious and unmeasured wickedness for less than thirty pieces •)1 silver;—you are told that Tetzel and his iudul gencea shall be revived upon you, in order that fair warning may be given you that'you shall bolt the whole hog or none,—that you shall lay no flittering unction to your soul, that it was any smoothed down porker or smug suckling which was offered to yuur digestion, - Jut the old original wild boar out of the forest, bristles and tusks and all, with which you were to make a treaty ur passage through your intestinal canals. It is not, therefore, because anybody has refused the extension of equal liberties to the Roman Catholics, but oecause the head or heads of the Rumen Catholics have refused to rest content with their position unless accom letuied with the acknowledgment of the most abject sub mission to their supremacy. They say, it is our religion ,o believe that you are schismatics and heretics, and as such to be brought to an auto daje at the Church's con venience and not before. It ie our religion to believe ,hat your bishops are non-entities and your sovereign a usurper, because unblessed by the only legitimate source of power. Either admit us with this, or we are per secuted gentlemen. We give you fair notice. We refuse to come in without all our ten horns along with us. We will not leave a hoof behind, of anything pertaining to our state. We come, as the Hanoverian woman said, " for 411 your goode;" and you are mere simpletons, if when we t eke them you set up the childish plea that you did not know. If anybody, then, should trouble himself with ask ing you why I voted against introducing the Member for Abingdon's Amendments when they were proposed, -and voted afterwards against their being struck out, say it was because new evidence had been given in the in terval, of the madness we should be guilty of in not treat ing an enemy as as enemy, after all the pains he has taken to tell us so. The Amendments of the Member for Abingdon were retained by majorities of 208 to 129, and 175 to 124; and the Bill finally passed by 263 votes to 46. The question , is now with the Lords. We shall see whether Cobbett was right when he said, " Thank God for a House of Lords;" and if the Lords like to amend the Bill, they can take the majorities on the Member for Abingdon's Amendments as the measure of what may be calculated on in the Commons. When the motion was made for the Bill being read a third time, the masa of the Irish opponents repeated their " ostentatious withdrawal." It appears that their plan was to come back at some time of their own, and that through some mismanagement of their own they did not come. A manifest intention (as indeed in the shock of political conflicts is inevitable and excusable) havin g been displayed to construct out of this a charge of un fair dealing on the part of some or other of their oppo nents, I have only to proffer myself as a witness if occa sion should arise, as to the extreme absurdity and puerile unfairness of any such attempted tail-piece to what may without malignity be described as an unsuccessful suit ,.egem of the complainants. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. LICHFIELD _HOUSE EXHIBITION. Suggested doubtless by the unrestricted character of the Great Industrial Exhibition, a gallery of paintings has very recently been opened to public inspection at Lichfield House, St. James's-square, the walls admitting of pictures by living painters of the schools of all coun tries. As might be conjectured, the works of art here collected together are many of.them of a most interesting description, and nearly all of them raised above the dead level of mediocrity. Traversing the different apart ments we occasionally find our attention arrested by the masterpiece of some illustrious artist, as in the instance ot Paul de la Ruche's great picture (102) of " Cromwell looking at Charles I. in his Coffio," a production which, it will be remembered, was displayed last season on the walls of the Royal Academy. Actuated possibly by the same view, most of the foreign contri butors have selected for the display of their abilities some scene familiar to the ideas of Englishmen. Fur example, M. Foursu has in 26 pourtrayed an inci dent from the life of Cnatterton; mad in 32 M. Slinge neyer has depicted the death of Net: on. In the latter there is too much of the ghastly reedit.] • of bloodshed, and the position of the wounued admiral with his right leg thrust out towards the spectator, and consequently fore shortened, is disagreeable and awl ;ward. Favourite walks by our own tartlets may occu sionally be recog nised, as in 29, C. M. Ward's " Fall 'of Clarendon." M. Cheuvin's " Flight into Egypt," 30,. will be recognised by , all visitors to the Roy al Academy collection for the present season. The last tragic lucid ent in Sir Walter Scott's "Bride of Lammermoor" hats been realized with painful earnestness in 35, by M. Sign 01. Lucy Ashton'e figure in the chimney corner is cage isitely painted, her smooth ivory shoulder, her delicate but crazed features, and her thin beautiful fingers dab bled in blood. M. Lehmann's picture, 36, of " The 'Virgin Mary fainting at the foot ot the Cross" is, to our thinking, painful to behold, every face in the group being a deplorable failure. The same painter has, in, 37, given us a very French "Hamlet," and in 38 a very French " Ophelia. Scheffer's "Portrait of Louis Pt illippe," 40, appears to us a very mahogany coloured vs xicature. Two most interesting and admirably artist it: productions by M. Schopin, in one of the upper soon it a command our very earnest eulogiusns, one of them 43, representing "The Morning of the 18th Brumaire," said the other, 44, the "Divorce of Napoleon and Jose! aline." In the former, the young General, who has jut): t returned, bronzed and doubly glorious from the land of I ,he Pharoahs, where he had more than fulfilled the augt tries of his early cam paigns in Lombardy, is conspicu tolls of course amongst the group of his political and mil itery supporters. Mo reau, in the same picture, is notit es able from the circum stance of his being the only soldier . I here in plain clothes. In the latter production the eye vt cinders with curiosity from one figure to another, here resting on the Greek and Cameo-like visage of the :E mperor, here on the beautiful face of Josephine, reco: aieing in different di rections the Prince Eugene, the 'Queen Hortense, the arch Chancellor Cambaceres, at ) dauntless Ney, the chivalric Murat, and the wily at id inscrutable Talley rand. M. Gosse, again, has two o r three very charming contributions, 46, one of Galli le o explaining his As tronomic Tables," 47, " St.. Vint sent de Paul relieving the Galley Slaves," and 48, " Cat at fens saving his Manu script." M. Felon's " Thetis ri, iii eg from the Sea," 61, is a, lovely gleam of the ancient t mythology. Not thus deserving of praise is 72, " The Ira rewell of Louis XVI. and his Family" (a subject just t :pourtrayed we under stand with consummate genius by the master hand of Paul de la Roche), frc tm the easlo of M. Rossiguon. In its c o:louring the whole picture is characterised by e. very French and melo-dramatic Intensity. Quite :as melancholy in its inadequacy is 68, " The Infant J inns in the Temple " by M. Scoeffer, a study of a head the it might have been mid taken for anything rather than 1 chat it is said to imply in the catalogue. . Among. the pc T traits in the collection, besides others of note, we especi ally remarked an ad mirable one, 114, by Madame .anchi ot "M. Guizot," and 119 a very characteristi c one by Mr. Grant of " Count. D'Orsay. ' Mr. Lucy's " Landing of the Pil grim Fathers on the Coast of An series" is rather sombre in treatment and conceived iu t i highly lugubrious and puritanical . His lesser 1 sissture of "Cromwell being admonished by Mrs. C la ypole, his favourite daughter," is by no means as me I.] ttorious, however, as a work of art, preferable the ugh it is in con ception. Mr. Gudin's " Grand Marine," 134, is a really remarkable production, at id, although we might protest against the metallic Inn e upon the ripple of the water, the romance thrown ern r the whole canvas by his brush, at once bold and luminous; renders us indiffer ent to the minor blemishes perc e ivable among so ntucb that is admirable and excellent. 'M. Tschuggeny's " In cident Iron, the Field of Battle," 168, though powerfully thought and vigorously produc ed, is, nevertheless, too paintully correct to win tor it t large share of admira tion. Yet more cau we say this of M. Felix Leuellier's large and remarkable picture 179, of " The Early Christians being Devoure d b y ' ' VIM Beasts," one of the most hideous nightmares it ever entered into the heart of painter to imagine, and certainly she most awful and most painful we hare ever in our live s seen delineated. Mr. J. Ward's " Sin, Death, and Hell undermining the Rock of Ages," a horrid little ghoul of a picture, in tee present year's collection of the Royal Academy, is nothing whatever by coropariso n. A very clever archi tectural drawing of the " New Palace at Westminster," 175, painted by M. Ouvrie, v rill be looked upon by many with interest as a sketch taken in London by Frenchman. A sea piece by another French artist, hi. Bartl 6 envy, is one of the mu a: exquisite and masterly works of art in the whole of the Lichfield House Collec tion :it represents, 178, the " Escape of Jean Bart," and may be readily recognised by the visitor on the staircase. The commotion of t ho waves has never been more wonderfully portrayed ; the boat seems abso lutely lifted up on the billows. " Henry IV. and his Children," 182, by M. Rouge a are as brilliantly and distinctly individualized as I sortraits from the life. Of M. Biard's "Henry IV. an a Fleurette" we can only say that it resembles a very improper Maria with a quaintly masquerading Stern e, the latter strolling tnrough a coppice on a trip mor a than ever sentimental. The daring and pretentious pail iii ng by Oiftaberzettel of " St. John presetting in the W tic erness, and which it may be remembered was fort ne sly exhibited for the artist in Bond-street and Piccso has recently been added to the works of art not v on view in Lichfield House. It deserves an especial t?a :amination as the pro duction of a foreign artist of very great ability, and as revealing on his part a lofty and honourable ambition. Among the eccentricities in the col lection will be noticed 214, the sketch of a " Supper at a Bat Masque," by M. Llillemach; and among the finest sj tecimens in the whole gallery will be observed 225, " Th, 3 Frightened Flock," a singularly fine example of th© pot vers of M. Verboeck hoven. From the peculiar chance 3r of the whole under taking we are sanguine that the ) enterprise of those artists who have applied Lichfield l louse to the purposes of this very interesting pictorial e xhibition, will be re paid by the patronage of all lovert iof art, just now col lected together in London from th e various countries of Christendom. NEW ORLEANS, JUNE 22. Cotton is in limited demand since receipts of Arctic's news. Exchange 10 to 10k. HAVANNAH, JUNE 16. The business of the week has been hard for buyers from the north, who have had to supply themselves with hinds at 7 per cent. exchange. The regular packets are doing a good business in coastwise freights, while there is a constant demand for both north and across the Atlantic. Northern produce bears a high price, the market being bare of the leading articles. TRE 6HEAT _EXHIBITION.

The opening article of Bentley, entitled " London, Paris, and N ow York," (which should rather have been entitled simply New York, inasmuch as it relates ex clusively to that i*land city) is the most valuable ma gazine article that has appeared for some time past. Doing full justice to the many good qualities of the United States society in New York,it does not attempt to disguise its faults, but by showing whence those faults arise, point out how they may be corrected ; its social faults, however, are as nothing compared to its social virtues, and when such is the case " Non ego paucis offendar maculis." It would be well for London if, with regard to the water supply for instance, its inhabitants were to follow the example of the New Yorkers. Until 1842 the supply of water to New York was scanty and bad, iu that year the Croton Aqueduct, which bad taken five years to construct was opened, and the supply has ever since been ample and excellent. This great work is thus described — "The Great Aqueduct is forty-one miles in length, commencing with a dam across the Croton river, six miles above its mouth. This raises the water one hundred and sixty-six feet above tide level, forming a lak e or reservoir of four hundred acres in extent, con taining five hundred million gallons, above the le vel that million Harlem tea aqueduct of ston e would allow the aqueduct to discharge thirt y -five g d a u ll e o t ns per day. From the Croton Dam to River, something less than thirty - thre e miles, h is an uninterrupted conduit of hy draulic masonry, and brick ; the greatest interior width, seven feet five inches ; the greatest height, eight feet five inches ; the floor an inverted arch. The com missioners and chief engineers t,s passed through its whole length on foot, as soon it was completed ; and, when the water was admitted, traversed it again in a boat built for the purpose. It crosse s the Harlem'River by a bridge of stone, fourteen hundr ed and fifty feet long, and ono hundred and fourteen feet above high-water mark. At the receiving reservoir fo rt y mile s from the Dam, the masonry gives place to iron pipes, through which the water is conveyed two miles further, to the distribut ing reservoir, from which point it runs, by means o f several hundred miles of pipes to every corner of the city. On the line of the aqueduct are one hundred and fourteen culverts, and sixteen tunnels, and ventilators occur at the distance of one mile apart throughout the route. The receiving reservoir covers thirty•five acres, and contains ono hundred and fifty million imperial gal. lone. The distributing reservoir has walls forty-nine feet in height, and contains twenty million gallons. The supply to each citizen is at present almost un limited, and afforded at a moderate annual rate. The managers complain to the Common Council of the enor mous waste during the summer, when ' sixty imperial gallons each twenty-four hours to every inhabitant, are delivered. But even at this enormeus rate the quantity The arrival of the royal party was the signal for a hearty burst of cheering from the assembled multitude. Her Majesty was received at the royal entrance by the director of the opera, Benjamin Lumley, Esq., and by Captain Robinson, of the Hon. Artillery Company, the treasurer of the establishment. The Royal Chamber lain preceded the royal party with wax lights, in mas sive silver candlesticks, in his hands, walking backward. Her Majesty then passed rapidly up the stairs, which were profusely decorated with flowering plants in full blossom, and evergreens of the richest description, to the tiring-room, whence, having been divested of her carriage c ostume, she proceeded to the roy al box. Wit hin the thea tre the preparations for the rec e p tion of her Majesty were on a scale of unusual splendour, and were characterised by the usual good taste that distinguishes the management in this house. The Royal box was lined with white and blue silk in alternate stripes, and the large boxes on either side belonging to her late Majesty the Queen Dowager, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, were added as wings on either side, and included in the general decorations. The front was hung with alternate festoons of crimson and blue velvet, bordered with gold fringe. A richly gilt and decorated moulding ran along the top, in the centre of which was placed the crown; the pillars on either side were also gilt, and sur mounted by gold shields and armorial bearings, and on the front panel, on a medallion, was displayed the Royal Arms. A large bouquet of rare exotics, and handsomely bound books of the opera were laid in the Royal box for the use of her Majesty and the Prince. Two of the bouffetiers in their state dresses and halberts were, as usual, stationed in front, As soon as the Queen made her appearance in front of the box, a burst of cheering broke forth from all parts of the house—boxes, pit, and galleries, joining hear tily in the enthusiastic demonstrations of loyalty which breaking through all the trammels of operatic etiquette, were evidently as cordial and spontaneous as they must have been gratifying to the Sovereign. Simultaneously with the entrance of the royal party a brilliant flood of light suddenly poured into the house from the large chandelier, all the audience rose, the orchestra struck up the National Anthem, and the cur tain rising displayed the whole of the corps draniatique grouped on the stage. Her Majesty, who appeared at first somewhat nervous, as if taken by surprise at the unusual fervour and enthusiasm of her reception in so aristocratic an assemblage, bowed repeatedly, and with the grace so peculiarly her own. The cheering was again and again renewed, and then the National Anthem was sung, around of cheering following each verse. The scene at this moment was extremely brilliant and striking. All the ladies of the royal suite were in full evening costume, and the noblemen and gentlemen is military, naval, or official uniform, and wearing their orders and decora tions. Most of the audience were also in full dress or military costume, and the high character of the assem blage, the vast and richly decorated theatre, the music, and all the other accessories of the scene presented a coup cfceil which for grandeur and elegance has seldom been surpassed. Her Majesty, who looked in her usual excellent health, wore a light blue satin dress, trimmed with deep lace; a head dress, composed of a wreath of wild blush roses and foliage interspersed with diamonds; a necklace, stomacher, and earrings of large brilliants, and the ribbon of the Garter across her shoulder. The Prince was attired in a field marshal's uniform, and wore the insignia of the Garter and other decorations. The ladies in the royal suite occupied the box on the right of her Majesty, and the gentlemen on the left. Two other boxes on either side were also filled by members of the suite and pages. It is needless to say that the house was crowded in every part, and we under stand that three or four guineas were, in many instances, paid for single stalls. The last act terminated precisely at a quarter past eleven o'clock, and the moment the curtain tell her Ma jesty rose, bowed two or three times to the audience, and retired. Loud and repeated cheers again broke forth from all parts of the house, and the National Anthem was again sung by the whole of the company. Her Majesty was conducted to her carriage in the same state as upon her arrival, and notwithstanding the immense crowds assembled outside, the carriages were, by the great exertions of the police, drawn up in rapid succes sion, and before half-past eleven the Royal cortege was again on its way back to Buckingham Palace. TO RIGBY WASON, ESQ. Sir,—l have perused your letter in The Sun news paper, of the 2d instant, addressed to Mr. Winton, the chairman of the Committee of Exhibitors, and in the absence of that gentleman in consequence of a domestic affliction, I, as one of the committee, beg to be per mitted to address a few remarks to you in answer. I was somewhat surprised at seeing your reply to the circular of the committee inserted in a public journal, and that you should therein intimate an opinion that the members of the committee were acting an unjust part, and had committed some error for which they ought to atone; but as you have adopted the press as the medium of communicating your sentiments, and to cast reflections upon the members of our committee, I shall rely upon the spirit of fairness for which the press is proverbial, for an insertion of the few remarks I am desirous of ad dressing to you. The exhibitors, you say, ought, in your opinion, to consider themselves the obliged and not the obliging parties, and with the view of testing the accuracy of this opinion, you divide the exhibitors into three classes :- Ist. Those who, like the Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Hope, have exhibited objects of art acquired by them selves or received from their ancestors. 2d. Those who have exhibited articles from which they cannot possibly derive any personal emolument, but who are desirous of bringing under public attention some favourite object. 3d. Those who have exhibited articles similar to those • in which they deal, from the sale of which they expect to realize a profit. The first class, you say, " are an obliged party, by being enabled to confer a benefit upon their fellow creatures, by giving them the opportunity of seeing objects which will arrest attention, stimulate exertion, and advance the cause of civilization." Are you really serious, Sir, in suggesting that such men as the Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Hope should deem themselves under an obligation by being permitted to exhibit their several articles in Hyde-park? You cannot be, Sir. You have taken for your argument the very cases I should have selected myself to justify the course we are pursuing. It is partly because there are such as the Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Hope amongst the exhi bitors, that we say the exhibitors ought to have free admission accorded to them. Such men could have had no mercenary motives, and you have no right to divide the exhibitors and to say that the humble artisan was not actuated by as pure a motive in lodging his han dicraft in the Crystal Palace as the Duke of Devonshire or any other exalted personage in contributing his costly treasures; and it is not because the high-born and wealthy care not to claim their right, that the humble and poor should be denied theirs. To the second class, you say you yourself belong, and as it is impossible for you to derive any personal emolument from your exhibition of the mode by which you have reclaimed your waste lands, I must presume you were actuated by a love of country in coming for ward as you have; and although you, with those of the exhibitors whom you have included in the first of the three classes into which you have divided the exhibitors, care not to enforce your right, I cannot see that that is way reason why others similarly influenced should be compelled to relinquish theirs. I would observe in pas sing, that few of our nobility and gentry need be at a loss to discover persons to whom they might lay themselves under an obligation, and that you yourself, Sir, might be "obliged" to your heart's content in reclaiming the, present, sterile acres of others. come now to the third class. You say they are yet more obliged, for they hope to reap (and you trust they will not nut be disappointed) emolument from the dis play of articles in which they deal. I presume you allude to sales being made by the exhibitors of goods in their several trades. Do you not know, Sir, that the advantage with which you say the exhibitors ought to be satisfied can only be obtained by direct violation of the rules of the Commissioners, and of the principle upon which the whole scheme was founded?—that every oVestaele has been thrown in the way by the Executive to paavent the exhibitors reaping that advantage? Why the Commissioners in the very outset of their proceed ing prohibited the exhibitors seeking to dispose of their goods, and expressly declared that the Exhibition wa s for their display only, and not for their sale. Prices wore not allowed to be affixed, and it was even published by the Commissinners that if any exhibitor or servant of an exhibitor sought to obtain purchasers for their property f rum amongst those who came to inspect it, the party so Eating would be excluded the building. Clearly, there fuse, little thanks are due to the authorities for whatever pecuniary advantage the exhibitors have derived. I fear but few of the exhibitors have derived any. But what matter it every man of us make his fortune? Assume, if you please, that we are all actuated by the low and grovelling motives you have attributed to us. Kest the illustrious President of the Commission know that not a particle of patriotism prompted the response to the appeal which was made to us. Tell him ho has tit tered fulsome flattery in the language with which be Nis spoken of the support accorded to his scheme, for that private and personal motives alone induced that sa pport. Reiterate, if you please, this libel upon your cseuntrymen, yet still you touch not the right for which see contend. We say that the exhibitors lent their pro perty to the Royal Commissioners for the purpose of exhibition. No intimation was ever made to the ex hibitors that they would at any time be denied access to that property. The exhibitors were led to believe hat the same rules governing similar exhibitions would prevail in the conduct of this. Every previous exhibition csf the same kind had accorded unrestricted admission to contributors, and therefore, in the absence of notice that £l. contrary rule would prevail at the present one, there view an implied agreement with the exhibitors that they Nmuld receive the usual privileges accorded upon such occasions. But the exhibitors have more to sustain their rights. It was distinctly stated in the publications of the Commissioners, that with the exhibitors them e elves would rest the exhibition of their goods; yet why should I labour again to show that the exclu sion of exhibitors is the withholding of a right, a viola tion of a custom, or a breach of good faith, and an act most impolitic as regards the interests of the Exhibition? My intention was merely to reply to your statement that the exhibitors were the only obliged parties, and I will therefore consent to sink the question of right and con tent myself with submitting the following case for your consideration. A friend asks you to travel from Corwar to Hyde-park, and tells you that by so doing you will help biro to carry out some object he has in view. You consent to do so, and, at great inconvenience, set out at once, upon your journey. On your way you are in vited to earn, by the exercise of your talent or inge nuity, a 101. note, and you do se. You arrive at your deatination and are warmly complimented and thanked for the alacrity with which you proceeded to oblige your friend. He esteems himself under an obligation to you, and you naturally conclude that if you asked him to oblige you by the observance of any ordinary civility of life, he would do so. You relate the good fortune ex perienced on your journey, and your friend instantly replies—" Oh! then I consider I am under no obligation to you. True, you have done what I asked you, but you have, whilst proceeding to do it, put 101. in your pocket which otherwise might never have reached it—that will pay every expense of your journey." I know not what your indignation would be at such treatment, nor is it necessary to de scribe what mine would be under similar circumstances; but suppose you started upon a like errand for another friend, and be went oat of his way to prevent your earning that 101., but you nevertheless did so, could you not pronounce it " too bad" if you were told by that friend that the fact of your having earned that sum in defiance of his efforts to prevent your doing so, absolved him from all obligation to you, and laid you under a great one to him? I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, HARRIS. Exhibtors' Committee-room, 528, Oxford-street TS is ample, and it can be increased at will by new reser voirs. No decent house is now constructed without a bath, an advantage to the health and comfort of the city, hardly to he overrated. Fountains adorn almost all the public places of any importance." The lovers of angling will be delighted with the paper on pike fishing, which is written in a true Waltonian spirit; and the lover of art will be pleased with the excellent description of the Earl of Elles mere's collection of pictures.

MISS KATE LODER'S CONCERT. This accomplished pianiste gave a matinee musicale on Saturday at the New Beethoven Rooms, in Queen Anne-street, when a host of artistic talent supported the fair beneficiare. Among the instrumentalists were Ernst, Richardson, J. Day, Lando, and Hancock, and the prin cipal vocal parts were sustained by Madlles Catherine Hayes, Williams, Dolby, and Hill; Messieurs Bodda, Reichert, T. Williams and Ferrari. Miss Hayes gave her celebrated "Ah mon fils" from the Prophete with exquisite purity and expression, and also pang for the first time a pleating ballad composed expressly ror her by Maefarron (who presided at the pianoforte on this cecasion) entitled "The Lonely One." To criticise or eulogise Catherine Hayes is now superfluous. In florid vocalisation, sweetness, and feeling, she stands unsurpassed, and we congratulate our American friemets on the rich treat in store for them, confident of the delightful sensation which the Irish linnet, as well as the Swedish nightin gale, will cause among them. At the concert given in honour of the American Minister, by Mr. Peabody, on the 4th inst., Miss Hayes sung her favourite, "Ah! mon fils;'' and in a trio, from I Lombardi, together with Gardoai and Lablache; and a duo, from Le trc Nozze, with the former, elicited the genuine enthusiasm of that brilliant assemblage of rank and fashion. THE GENTLEMAN'S. Mr. Peter Cunningham, whose admirably told story of Nell Gwynne is continued in the present number, has, by inspecting the accounts of the Pay master of Works and Buildings to King Charles IL from April, 1676, to March, 1677, discovered that the carved pedestal of the statue of King Charles I. at Charing-cross, is the work not of Grinlin Gibbons, as has been generally supposed, but of Joshua Mar shall, Master Mason of the Works to King Charles 11. The extracts from the curious Day-books of Dr.- Henry Sampson are concluded ; we hope that a perfect edition of this very curious work will be ere long given to the world. The paper on the present state of the Record Office we commend to the serious attention of the authorities. This number is illus trated by portraits of the two sons of Nell Gwynne and by various archaeological drawings. ACCIDENT TO LORD DUNGANNON.—We are sorry to learn that intelligence was received on Friday evening, at the town mansion of Lord Dungannon, that his Lordship had been thrown from his horse while riding in his park, in Denbighshire, and had fractured his leg, in consequence of which Lady Dungannon left town immediately to join his lordship. CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST.—The corporation of London have munificently granted a further sum of 100 guineas in aid of the funds for the erection of the new hospital at the Victoria Park, the f ou ndation stone of which was laid a few days ohm by his Royal High kriaco Albert. f the fully Ding.

The answer was a cypher (0), " None." This was clever; but neighbour Shuttleworth, in Nottingham market place, beats it. He has on his chimney two large T's, one painted black, the other green, to intimate that he sells black and green teas.—Nottingham Review. FATAL AFFRAY WITH THE POLICE IN SHOE-LANE. —During the whole of yesterday (Sunday) the upper part of Shoe-lane was the scene of a frightful uproar, which has unfortunately ended in the death of a man named John Hogan, who expired this morning. The following are the particulars of the ease, as far as they can be ascertained : The place where the riot broke out is Plumptre-court, which is opposite the churchyard of St. Andrew's, Holborn, in * Shoe-lane. It is wholly inhabited by the lower orders of Irish; and about midnight, on Saturday, a general quarrel seems to have broken out amongst them. The row was so great at three o'clock on Sunday morning, that a body of police were sent for. The belligerents made a determined re sistance to the police, and several of them were severely kicked and injured. It became necessary, it is said, for them to use their staffs, and it is alleged that Hogan, who is now dead, was struck by oue of them on the skull. Mr. Payne, the coroner, has had notice of the death of Hogan. TUR NEW SUGAR DUTIES.—The new and reduced rates of duty on all descriptions of colonial and foreign sugars, which come into operation to-day (the 7th inst.), are expected to cause the deliveries of sugars from bond to be large, and it is expected that the quantities of foreign refined and other sugars for home use will be so great that ar rangements have been made for such deliveries to take place to a later hour than usual, in order to meet the requirements of the trade. As this fresh reduction of the duties brings the rates to the lowest standard provided for in the scheme of the late lamented Premier with respect to the duties on sugar so far as concerns the supplies from the British plantations, the effect of the measure will now be evinced to a propor tionate extent, although the complete effect will necessarily not be shown until the still further reductions on foreign and other high-class sugars assimilate the duties leviable on them to the sugars imported from the British colonies. The retail price of first-rate refined or lump sugar is now less than half the price it was before the revision of the sugar duties took place, and the public will doubtless benefit to a bull further extent on this fresh reduction of the duties on all classes of foreign sugar. REPRESENTATION OF KNARESBOROUGH. -- The death of the Right Honourable W. S. Lascelles has caused a vacancy in the representation of the borough of Knaresborough. A Conservative candidate has been found in the person of a young barrister, Mr. Thomas Collins, jun., the son of the Rev. 'Thomas Collins, an esteemed minister of the Established Church at Knaresborough. The Liberals, it is said, intend to bring forward Mr. Watson, Q.C. The constituency of the borough is somewhere about 250. At the election in 1847 the numbers at the close of the poll stood thus :—The Hon- W. S. Lascelles, Liberal, 158 ; Mr. J. P. Westhead, Liberal, 128 ; Mr. A. Lawson, Conservative, 111. Thus two Libel! were returned, and out of 228 electors 220 voted. Mr' ted Lawson and Mr. W. B.

I . 3 OCIeET STOVE.—A select party of gen tlemen assembled at Peele's Coffee-house, Fleet-street, on Saturday, to wi tness a series of experiments with an inge nious little stove, invented by Mr. Rigby. The stove, which resembles in form an exaggerated chess " castle," is only about 6 inches in height by 4 ;e. inches in diameter, and does not weigh more than Ins. Its principal peculiarity is a con trivance by which spirits are consumed, the amount of heat thus generated being placed under the perfect control of the operator by means of a small screw. Whether economy or speed be taken as the test of its capabilities, it certainly appeared to be the most successful portable stove which has yet appeared before the public. COLLIERY ExrLosioN.—Another of these sad oc currences, unhappily not uufrequent in mining districts, took place on the morning of Tuesday last, at the colliery of Mr. George Dudley, at the Five Ways, Cradles-, Worcestefia; shire, while, as we hear, the safety lam p was being urseesdulted the purpose of testing the presence o f g as.

WOLIN INSTITUTE OF ACTUARIES. A very numerously attended arid interesting meeting of the members of this body was held on Saturday, at the rooms of the Institute, in Chutham-place, the chair being occupied by Mr. Jalicoe, the vice-president. The meeting derived additional importance from the presence )1 the several representatives of the leading iortign as surance ins ti intions. The discussion of the first topic was opened by Ma. Nelson. Professor FItIEDLANDER, of the University of Dor path, next din ched attention to the valusble statistics of the Prussian State, compiled by Dieterici, Moser, and Hoffman. Atter some fuethor remarks from several members, Mr. THOZIPSoN, of Edinbugh, introduced the subject of the tutus rate of interest which money is likely to com mand in the market. We have also to mention that an interesting paper on the existing state of the several marine, fire, and life effices of Germany, was transmitted to the institute by Herr Masius, of Leipsic, whose contributions to this branch of literature are well known. THE DINNER. A banquet was given in :he evening, under the aus pices of the scciety, at the Castle Hotel, Richmond, when about 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner, all of them morn or less interested, and some of them distin guished for their reseurehes iu questions of statistics ;s,tul " the science of probabilities" in this and foreign coun tries. The Right Hon. Lord Overstone ably discharged the duties of president; and on his right and left were Colonel Sykes, Mr. Childers, ALP., Mr. Heywood, Mr. I3abtiage, Mr. J.

PREPARATIONS AT GUILDHALL.—The civic edifice has undergone so complete a renovation, and so punch has been accomplished by the Corporation, in the shape of -paint ing, whitewashing, &c., within the last week, that it, would be difficult for any body not intimately acquainted w ith the building to recognise the various apartments and offices. The " hall" itselt has been entirely cleaned, whitensed and painted, the ceiling in its present state is divided hate ► com partments of white and blue; on the walls are allegorical devices, representing all the countries in the world from which contributions to the Great Exhibition of all :Nations have been received. Innumerable garlands and fee icons of flowers are among the decorative appliances, and tie ere is no want of gildi ng to acti to the richness of the effect. Gog and Ma%cog have been refitted, and, in addition to tl to costly chandeliers which hang from the ceiling, a brilliant , star of glass, from the manutactory of Mr. Copeland, MelP., will Llunainate this gorgeous room. The ancient crypt, of which a good deal has lately been said, is metamorphosed into the supper room, and it certainly makes a very admirabole refec tory for the illu strious and noble guests invited. The hang ings are vary elegant . Th ere are enormous l oo ki n g- glasses, so placed tha t the size of the apartment is magnified to a va st extent by the reflection.

The manager of her Majesty's Theatre paid, on Friday, his usual annual homege to his fashionable and literary patrons, in the form of a &joiner et fele artistiques. The fineness of the afternoon, which was brilliant, but not sultry, attracted a large at tendance at the grounds attached to Mr. Lumley's resi dence, near Hammersmith. With his usual tact, the manager of her Majesty's Theatre availed himself of one of the days appointed for the Thames regatta, and, in consequence, among the entertainments provided was the spectacle of some boat-racing, which afforded much diversion to the spectators. The grounds include a pro menade by the side of the river, which, being studded with craft of every description, from the steam-boat to the wager-boat, presented a very lively picture. But there were various other entertainments arranged. Bands of music, military and civil, were engaged, and performed during the afternoon. At dusk, coloured fires reminded one of the finale of many an opera, and some fireworks from a barge on the river lighted up the scenery with their unwonted glare. Illumination lamps, of divers colours, were strung across portions of the grounds, and a platform for dancing was laid down near the house. Refreshments were procurable during the whole fete, both al fresco and in the house itselt; ant], in short, ' every provision was made for the gratification of the subscribers to, and supporters of, the theatre under Mr. Lumley's direction. THE GREAT EXHIBITION Oa Saturday morning the Queen and Prince resumed their inspection of the interior, and examined the two north galleries in the western half of the building. Nearly a thousand exhibitors whose contributions are placed there were assembled in their respective allot ments to receive the royal visitors. On the 12th the Royal Commission, the Executive Committee, and a large party of distinguished foreigners at present in this country are invited by Mr. William Brown, ALP., to Liverpool, to dine with him on board the American steamer Atlantic, which, for that purpose, has been courteously placed at his disposal by her com mander, Captain West. Mr. Brown, besides doing the honours of the occasion, as host at a grand entertain ment, provides his guests with the means of seeing the river and port to advantage, placing a steamer at their disposal at an early hour for that purpose. Such libe rality is worthy the reputation of our merchant princes. The trip is, we hear, likely to be combined with a plea sant excursion on the previous day by the Chester and Holyhead line, in order zo visit the Britannia-bridge. The receipts at the doors on Saturday amounted to 1,565/. 155., and the numbers entering the building were 11,747. During the last few days nearly 360 of the most deserving boys and girls iu the Jews' Free School, Spitalfields, were by the liberality of the patrons of that institution enabled to visit the Crystal Palace. AN EMINENT WAGGET.—The Committee of the House of Commons appointed to report upon the law of Mortmain requested the advantage of such information as Doctor Wiseman could afford them. The doctor (it is said) begged to consult his love of retirement by not appearing in so public a capacity as that of a witness before a Committee of the House of Commons. He suggested, however, tlist but solicitor, being more conversant with the law, would P r a o , v but better witness.
