MISREPRESENTATION. - CAUTION.- Application was yesterday made to a Merchant in the City to sign a written promise to pay for a book, to be entitled, when " Watkins' London Directory for 1852." The person who made the application alleged that I had no inte 'rest in the " Post Office London Directory," which, he asserted, be longed to another person, named " Kelly." The statement is untrue:—The copyright of the " Post Office Dl - was assigned to me in the year 1836, since which time the Work has remained MiRC, no other person having at any time had any property in it.

THE ADVENT OF INDUSTRY, 1851 how few of the vis , tors of the Great Industrial Exhibitioi Will consider how many hearts and heads and limbs have ached to produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that now grace the Crystal Palace ; and, besides those triumphs of mankind, bow many thousands of men, equally deserving of success, have, from as many different causes, altogether failed to complete the Works upon which their whole energies have been expended for months perhaps their whole means exhausted ! The Crystal Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry ; but the Wonders there accumulated are also the results of cares and anxieties unparalleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce. Ought it not to teach our wealthy c l a sses an important l esson ? Art, science, and manufactures, unpatronised and unprotected, would progress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility a n d gentry see at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the fostering care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance ot mankind m a y be, universally promoted by this gigan tic example of what can b e achieved. He who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It was this consideration that induced Messrs. E. 310;ES and SON to enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun dreds of excellent industrious workmen where others would only employ tens. Is must be obvious to all reat,oning men that under the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself might clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and :ON can, with their limited pr.ifits, out of the labour of a hundred. But they have the satisfaction to know that the more capit they can use, and the less profit they exact, the more they can patronise te industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instan ht payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an article at nearly half the usual, and far bette.• at that price, thin has ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a large capital and numbers of people does not end in the mere fact of low prices; for these very low prices for good clothing enable thou sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their system of trading it was impossible obtain good cheap clothing ; now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strong and good clothing according to their circumstances. All classes can firers well—all classes eught to dress well. It is worth the consideration of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their own dress and their servants' livery. if it were only for the oppor tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. :VT essrig. E. MOSES and SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS, appropriate for everybody. Buy or not buy, no matter, when they have seen they will believe in the beauty and extent or a stock and an establishment to which it is difficult, if not impossible, to do justice by description.

The WITHDRAWAL TABLE of the Society affords to the As sured the greatest possible present and prospective advantages that can be conferred by Life Assurance. On this 'Calve the Assured is entitled, at any time, to receive at interest an immediate advance, to the extent of one-half the amount of the paid annual Premiums, without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by simple endorsement thereon ; or the half Premium may be with held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the Policy, on Its surrender oue-half of the annual payments will be returned by the Society. Lapsed Policies may be renewed without fine, on proof of health and payment of arrears of Premium without interest.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-5 0 0, 0001 . (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable Rates 01 Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Protits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion frenaium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The trite rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap aroached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever he the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as security against loss-for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer '*lxtirelrintbrestediirnes nosinsicestiWtmitttrimi intlfeist - ty' supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica don and Average, the Premium will be prcpertioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or flay per cent. of the nett -3xcess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have 'seen in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon ,very description of Property on moderate terms. Farming stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

The distinctive feature of this Company consists in the sufficiency of ONE PAYMEN C to cover an Assurance for the WHOLE OF LIFE. The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re newa lof premium. By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com pany are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than is offered by any existing Company. Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his death 1.,y railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy. If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury. Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and on any railway in the United Kingdom.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 200/. —making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected Nortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last Year. The number of lives assured between the let of June, 1849, and the 31st of %lay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.: of these 12i, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. 6s. fiixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the c anmencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, :assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125. 6d., pro ,lucing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, to 93 Geinl AA - - of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the let of Jane last equal to 2,9911. 15s. lid. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their busineis on the Continent, having appointed, as Bead Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbish , p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ' ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

The " Times" newspaper of the 9th of April, in an able arti cle on the sanitary condition of society, says—" That it can no longer be said that the working Englishman is ill clothed." The writer is convinced, as must be everybody on observation, that a complete change has taken place within the last few years in this respect—a change whose origin is easily demonstrable, on an impartial review of EIYAM and Co.'s operations. The proprietors have already argued and proved their priority in co' nexion with that system which has done so much for the commu nity at large, as every candid statist has seen and acknowledged. When iIYAM and Co. projected their first undertaking many years ago, and hazarded a large capital in bringing into operation an en tirely new order of things, they found the tailoring trade in the posses sion and under the control of private speculators, who found the high prices of the few sufficient for their own personal consideration. Now, however advantageous and lucrative this system of things may have Droved to those who practised it, it was undoubtedly most inimical to the interests o. the public at large ; c onfining, as it did, the bene fits of good clothing to the possessors of plentiful purses. lIYAM and Co , on carefully weighing this state of things, resolved on starting a system of cheapness, assured that an adequate compen sation would be realised in what they would term " THE MONEY OF . THE MANY." Such an immense reduction did HYAM and Co. make in the old ''exorbitant priltits; Mt the practieubillty of the system was for a con siderable time regarded as a matter of doubt but the money of the many was secured, and the money of the mane, as anticipated, re moved every stumbling block, and brought about a successful work ing of the system. Let it not be understood, however, that cheap ness was the only feature in HYAIt and Co.'s new system. It would have been very easy for th.• proprietors to have accommodated mat ters by manufacturing inferior materials, and by employing second rate cutters and workmen. But the contrary of this was the case. While the r trading glass was low in point of price, it was high with reference to those essential particulars— FASHION AND QUALITY. The money of the many, which enabled them to sell at a moderate rate, enabled them, also, to buy the best materials, and to employ ho best workmen. The interests of all classes had never before been assimilated in tee tailoring trade ; an invidion distinction was in variably made, and if a person, not happily situated in a pecuniary sew e, desired an article of dress, he was insulted by being presented with a perfectly different design in cut and snake. Pint lIYANI and Co. discarded such practices. and convinced the public that first-rate articles of dress could be sold for charges which appeared at one time a very doubtful novelty. Such was the system of lIYAM and Co., a system which Great Britain at large has recogniseA in the most satisiactory manner; and hence that improved appearance in clothing to which the first jour mil in the world has alluded. True, indeed, it ,s, that an improvement in this respect is ma- iiifest. The Ten Establishnymts f HYAM and Co. in the most popular and populous towns in England, Ireland, and Scotland, and a 550.0(0/. capital are not employed without effect. From thousands and hundreds of thonsand , . do lIYA.III and Co. meet with support; by all classes of the community are their arti cles of attire adoptel, and in every direction are the proprietors' fashions traceable; nor can ILYA NI and Co. (while they feel grateful for such results) refrain from some degree of self-congratulation at thus being the projectors and promoters of a system which has pro duced s, evident an improvement, in one feature at least, of the sani tary condition of the BrVish public.

STOCK EXCHANGE. .—The Railway Market continues un satisfactory; and, so far as London is concerned, it is inferred ' that speculation has been eonsiderably damped by the recent high charges of interest for continuations.

The only transaction we heard of as effected on 'Change was Midland (Birmingham and Derby ), 36 ; but other sales were made in private, of which no report was made. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. William Griffin, a young man of respectable appearance, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of assaulting Maria Palmer, Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Huddlestone conducted the prosecution on behalf of the South-Eastern: Railway Company; Mr. Robinson appealed for the defendant. The Learned COUNSEL, in opening the case, said that th e directors of the South-Eastern Railway had felt it their duty to institute this prosecution on acc ount of the assault im puted to the defendant having been committed upon a person in humble circumstances, who we.s'at the time a traveller in one of their trains. They felt that a person in such a posi tion was entitled to receive protection front every description of insult and annoyance; and upon the facts coming to their knowledge they considered it their duty to take care that the matter should be investigated by a jury. , The particulars of the case havitig been given in evide nce Mr. IiALLANTINf:, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said he would not attempt to deuy that the company had only performed their duty in bringing forward the present charge; but at the same time he ha i great confidence that the jury would not convict a young man who, he should show them, had up to this time borne an unimpeachable character, and for ever destroy his reputation, upon the evi dence that had been laid be:ore then]. Several highly respectable witnesses were then examined, all of whom described the defendant as being entitled to the character of a well-conducted respectable young man. The jury stopped the Learned Recorder as he was about to sum up, and said they were unanimously of opinion that the charge had not been made out; and they therefore returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The REcoaDEn remarked that although the jury had come to this conclusion, there was no doubt that it was a very proper matter to be inquired into. Mr. HUDDLESTONE said that, upon the company beirg ac quainted with the facts, they felt that they had no altgruotive but t 9 institute a prosecution. Mr. BaLt.a.vrttitt said he did not at all complain of the course that had been pursued. On the contrary, he thought the company had done no .more than their duty. The defendant was then discharged. George Pearsonßarrett, 40, and Enoch Pearson Barrett, -37, were indicted for stealing a truss of goods, the property o f the London; Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company. and Robert Abbott, 29, who surrendered to take his trial, was indicted for feloniously receiving a portion of the property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Huddlestone conducted the pries% cution. The prisoners were severally defended by Me. O'Brien. Air. Parnell, and Mr. Woollett. The circumstances of the case were reported at the hot session, when the two Barretts were convicted of an offence of a similar character. The evidence went to show that Enoch Barrett was in the service of the Loudon and Brighton Railway Compannand he was stationed as switchman at the Bricklayers' Arms junction, and there was very little doubt that he and his brother George had been concerned in a very extensive system of plundering goods trains. Abbott, it appeared, was brother-in-law to the other prisoners, and resided at Newport Pagnell, and upon the officer searching his house, he found a watch and other articles the produce of a robbery that had been committed upon the railway in 1849, and the whole of which he subsequently admitted he had received from the prisoner George Barrett. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty of feloniously re ceiving the property. but recommended - Abbott to the merci ful consideration of the Court. Judgment was deferred. THE MURDER OF THE POLICEMAN IN VAUXHALL-WALK. Yesterday evening the inquiry into the circumstances con nected with this horrible murder, which was adjourned for the purpose of affording time for a post-mortem examination of the deceased, was resumed before Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hospital. -Therroova where the jury met for this purpose was exceed ingly small and inconvenient, and the foreman expressed his surprise to the coroner that in such an extensive establish ment, and one in which numerous inquests were held, a more commodious place could not have been afforded them for one evening. The CORONER, after consulting for some time with the in spector who has the case in hand, said that he did not think he would find it necessary to detain the jury upon this occa sion. From what he had heard from the inspector, he be lieved he would best consult the ends of justice by adjourning the inquiry for a few days longer. Before he did so be should wish to hear the evidence of the house surgeon, Mr.W. Rhys, who had made the post-mortem examination. Mr. W. Rhys said he had made the post-molfem examina tion as directed, but nothing he had noticed had altered his original opinion--namely, that death resulted from extensive injuries to the head. That was the only conclusion he could arrive at after a most careful investigation of the injuries which the deceased had sustained. [Though it did not come out in the evidence yesterday, we may state that the post-mortem examination which was made immediately after the termination of the inquiry on Tuesday last, showed that all the organs of the body were in a perfectly healthy condition. Upon the scalp were several large lacerated wounds, corresponding to which were simple, compound, and comminuted fractures of the skull, extending across the whole of the frontal and spheroid bones. The temporal muscles were completely crushed; the dura mater and brain lacerated, and a large quantity of extravasated blood was found upon both hemispheres of the brain. In -fact, hardly a single internal portion of the head had escaped destruction.] The evidence of some of the witnesses was then read over to them, at the conclusion of which, The Commiga expressed a desire to see the stones which were picked up on the spot where the man was murdered. ol n o i cee: which n h s i t c a h b lleo kHeadlooked dlikeaccordingly ried bloo d producedwhereupon u p t o h n e m, and called the attention of the coroner to certain discolourations upon P Mr. W. Rhys was recalled, and stated, in reply to a ques tion from the coroner, that he did not believe the stains were caused by human blood, or blood at all. He thought it was entirely owing to the " glaze" having been knocked off, and some slight mineral discolouration taken place, but he would examine it more closely if it was thought necessary. The CORONRR having expressed a wish to that effect, Mr. Rhys took away one of the stones, and shortly returned, stating that though the spots which had been indicated were not mineral stains, and wiped away, leaving a slight reddish mark upon white blotting paper, still the result was not sufficiently decisive to enable him to declare it blood. The CORONER then said, he understood that the Commis sioners of Police had taken up the matter with that spirit which they generally showed, and were bound to show, upon this occasion, when one of their men had been killed. He thought it would not be desirable to carry the case be fore the present sessions, as there was not sufficient evidence collected to enable them to prosecute As • the magistrate would no doubt remand the prisoners again, he thought it would be better if they met some time next week, as by that period much important evidence would be forthcoming. The inquiry was then adjourned to Monday next, at two o'clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Those who have advocated and supported that most excel lent measure of the Admiralty, suggested by Admiral Dan des, for the improvement of the condition of the seamen of the navy, and increasing thereby the efficiency of the service in giving the men more pay, more provisions, and less grog, will be truly gratified to hear of the admirable effect it has produced on the largest body of men collected under the command of a flag officer. During the quarter ended on the Ist of April last, scarcely any corporal punishment took place amongst a fcrce of 6,000. Rear-Admiral H. M. Dixon, the commander-in-chief at Queenstown, has shifted his flag from the Ajax, 60, screw ship, Captain Quin, to the Advice steam tender; and the Ajax, with the Hogue, 60, screw-ship. Captain Macdougall, left Queenstown on Saturday for Spithead, to be paid wages, and remain till further orders.

PLYMOUTH, MAY 10.—Her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, C.-ptain T. W. Carter, received orders at Malta on the 23th of April to sail on the 10th for this port, to be paid off. The store-ship Tyne, Master-Commander Peter Welling ton, from Deptford, arrived this morning, and will sail in about a week with stores for the Brazils. The New Liverpool, freight-ship, sailed yesterday with troops for Halifax. The steam-vessel Avon sailed this morning with supernu meraries for the Prince Regent at Portsmouth ; the Caradoc came in to-day, from Woolwich, for coal and advance of wages, and will sail on Monday for the Mediterranean on mail service; and the Magicienne will next week cruise in the Channel to try her rate of sailing.

ALB XN'S BRIBERY COMMISsION.—The Bill for appointing Commissioners to inquire into the existence of 1 bribery in the borough of St. Alban's, prepared and brought in by Mr. Ellice and Mr. II Stuart, recites that it is expe dient to appoint such Commissioners, with a secretary and clerks, as there is reason to eery beltoieve that Pthearlia practice has of bribery at elections of Members sin leg prevailel in St. Alban's, and that bribery to a great ex tent has been systematically committed there at the last election ; that great difficulty has been hitherto experienced in obtaining complete proof of this system of bribery, b y reason of the contrivances of certain parties, more or less im plicated in the same; that it would tend to insure a full discovery of it if an inquiry were made on the spot b y au thorized Commissioners. The Commissioners are to report from time to time to parliament, and are to have power to send for persons and papers. Persons implicated in bribery who may be examined, and who make a faithful discover}: are to be indemni fied from criminal prosecutions.

[PRICE SD. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We Dave received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes a decree, appointing Gene ral PELISglia Governor-General ad interim of Al geria, in the place of General n'fieurrouL, whose mission has terminated. This is a cool way o f gkting rid abrasion who has ceased to be useful. The fate of General D'HAUTPOUL will not )norease the ardour of the -`supporters of M. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. The partisans of the Elysee are evidently alarmed at the blunt manner in which Dr. Vettori in the Constitutioilnet occasionally blurts out the truth. The Moniteur du Soir has the following paragraph on the article from the Constitutionnel which we published yesterday, and which has aroused the ire of the Legi timatists and Orleaniats.

The gunmakers at Liege, who have recently suf fered much from .want of employment, are about to be actively engaged, in consequence of orders from foreign powers, One house alone has received an order to make 50,000 muskets for the Russian Go vernment. The last of the Paris races took place in the Champ de Mars yesterday. Just before the hour fixed for the commencement of business, there was a heavy fall of rain, which deterred a vast -number of persons from attending; but, as the weather became fine af terwards, a considerable crowd gradually assembled, and before the races were over nearly the whole of the course was lined with spectators. Within the ropes there was a tolerable show of carriages, though it was not equal to what is witnessed on more favourable occasions. The stands were about two-thirds full, but there were very few ladies in them. The mem bers of the Jockey Club and other sporting charac ters, a‘ usual, mustered in full force. , M. DE FALLOUX appeared in the Assembly on Saturday. The Bourse was gloomy, and a decided tendency to a fall in prices was manifested. The Five per Cents. opened at 90f. 60c., rose to 90r. 75c., but fell subsequently to 90f. 30e., at which price they closed. The Tbree per Cents. closed at 56f.

The Prussian Chambers were •prorogued on't c 9th. was the Speech of the PAESI DENT 10 . s- ,• • 4- _ " Gentlemen,-The Prussian Chambers have arrived at the close s of their second regular session, which has occupied more than four months of your continued activity. " The commencement of your deliberations fell in an agitated and critical period. Against threatening dangers the collective military force of the kingdom was called out, on a scale in which it had never been sum moned before, and with a result that filled the Prussian people with the consciousness of their own strength and nummanded the respect of foreign nations. In the Me:in: - time circumstances arose under which his Msjesty'a Go vernment believed, after due and conscientious conside ration, they could avoid the conflict with States of the same German race. But it was natural that in the state of feeling in the country other views of the posi tion of affairs would not remain without expr ssion during your debates. " Still toe patriotism of both Chambers avoided a con flict which would only have damaged the position of "'mutt' externally, and injured her internal development —a conflict which none but the enemies of Prussia could :rave regarded with hope. " With zeal you have applied to your high mission, and by the fruits of your activity earned new claims to tee thanks of the nation. " Thirty-four Bills, after going through the constitu tional discussion in both Chambers, have been laid be fore the Government, and in part, after receiving the Roy al sanction, have been published in the collection of laws. "You have the satisfaction of knowing that anew penal code, which has been in preparation for many years to supply a pressing deficiency, owes its completion to your exertions. " By your assent to the law on a class and classified income-tax, you have maintained the means of meeting the increased demands on the expenditure:of the State, by which the less wealthy classes of the population are not only spared an increase of taxation, but in part have had the burdens on them even much lightened. "The State expenditure for the year 1851 has been fixed, and by granting a credit of 11,500,000 thalers you have given the Government the means of covering the expenses occasioned by calling out the army, which have not been incurred without many and permanent ,advan vantages for the military power. " It some draughts of laws have not been completed in this session, yet their discussion, the many proposals from the Chambers themselves, and the petitions pre sented to them, have furnished the Government with materials which, you may be assured, will receive the most careful consideration. " By the decisions you have come to on the Bills laid before you, you have given the Government tie assur ance that it is, in essential points, in accordance with the Legislative bodies of the nation. It will be the care of the Government to preserve and increase this accord by a vigorous yet careful execution of the laws you have passed. The retrospect of the session is thus calculated to confirm the assurance that the old Prussian spirit is still powerful in the forms which, under your co-operation , have become the Constitution of the country, and that the chief condition of the development of Prussia on its historical basis has remained unaffected by the confusions of the time. " The enemies of this development, who are the ene mies of divine and human order in general, certainly rest as little as the passions by which they ar e agiteted.. t But revolution, wherever and under whatever form may appear, will find Prussia armed and the Govern ment watchful and firm. " The threatening attitude of this enemy, irrespective of other grounds, renders it the imperative duty es all the German Governments no longreecrogtonilseeadvbeoGthermwittya without a central organ, generally Germany itself and by foreign powers. " Whether the German Governments now return to the form of the older Constitution of the Bund, or whether the plans, by no means abandoned, of a new organization of that Constitution, will be realized in a practicable form, the independent developm nt of Prussia s hall not thereby be in any Way en d angere d . But the true and silent guarantee for a happy and glorious future for our country, its political and material welfare, its increasing internal prosperity, and its influ ence and power abroad, you will, with his Majesty's Government, find in the unwearied holding together, and co-operation of all those who unite in truth and faith under the motto of a great and glorious era—` With God for King and Fatherland.' " The PRESIDENT then declared, in the name of the that the session was closed. The Lloyd announces the arrival at Vienna of an English courier, with important dispatches fur the EMPEROR. The Cabinet of St. James's, it is said, consent to consider the question of the entry of all Austria into the Confederation as an internal affair if all the States coincide on that point. The Wirtemburgh Chamber of Deputies have re turned three Liberals as the candidates from among whom the KING must choose the President, and unanimously decided to vote no address in answer to the Speech from the Throne. It subsequently re • solved to nominate a Committee on public rights, consisting of nine Members; and announced to the Minister that a communication on. the subject of the revision of the Constitution wim expected. T e Finance Minister presented the Bt idget up to July 1, 1852, as well as several projects of laws. ITALY. RUMOURED DEATH OF 7.e.LIE KING OF NAPLES. The Paris Ordre states that it was currently re ported in Paris yesterday that the King of NarLas was dead. A letter from Rome, d a ted May Ist, says that the president of the Propaganda, Cardinal FRA:NZONI, has just issued an appe al to all Italy., calling upon all good Catholics to subscribe funds for the erection of a Roman Catholic cathedral in London..

It is in five acts, and combines the interest of the melodrama with the high breed ing, polish, vivacity, and sparkling wit of high comedy. The story of the piece is one of those simple themes, a mere situation in fact, in which M. Scribe loves to take from the life of the salons, and which, under his skilful management of half a dozen dramatis personcs, seems to expand, as it by its own force, into a perfect comedy. Emmeric d'Albret, a young and successful composer, has many good gifts and a . brilliant prospect before him—the worthiest of uncles, the prettiest of cousins—a love for the latter, which she very decidedly returns —every possibility of a match which seems sure to make his happiness. Bot he wears a chain of which he is heartily tired, yet which he cannot break. When he came first to-Paris be was without' friends, interest, or experience—without anything, in fact, but. genius and ambition. He fouud a guardian-angel in Madame de St. GCran. In pure pity this lady, by giving the young musician that great necessity to success, oppor tunity, opened to him the doors of fortune and of tame. Ile repaid the service 'with adoration, and found his angel mortal. hence a • crowd of miseries a hich at once astouish and perplex his friend Hector Ballannard, arone de prentire instance, to whom the life of •he sa;.7n9 had seemed from star the brightest et' prospects. The iii terest of the piece, evolved with all the skill of Scribe, tame on the struggles of Emmeric with a tie which turnout and interest alike make him anxious to break, on the efforts of Madams de St. Geran to prolong her power, and on the . indefatigable zeal and wonderful perplexities of Hector Bel feodard, who acts as the never-failing scaPegoet of his friend, feeillitig thereby the character.of the gayest of deceivers, in stead or that of the purest offtroves. The most remarkable agent,. however, in the deliverance of numeric, is no less a personage than Monsieur de St. Geran, the mildest and most musical of fatal duellists, the most generous and loyal of deceived husbands. Ile hears the story of the obstacle through Ballandard, without, tor a moment, suspecting that the lady in the case is his own wife. Having a .real kindness for the young musician, being, moreover, godfather to the pretty. Aline, and posses sing ancient claims on the gratitude of the worthy' parent, he determines on making the match between the cousins, and, in doing co, unconsciously removes the prin cipal bar to a cherished object, that of winning the love of his once neglected and estranged wife. From these strange relations of the several personages —the happy unsuspecting girl—the ardent and passionate woman—the frank and hiesl husband, never hitting on the truth—the weak vacillating lover —and the most _simple-hearted, zealous, and astute convenient friends and never -failing atones, springs such a stream of happy perpleiities as only Scribe can produce and manage, ending, of course in the marriage of the cousins being made practicable by Madame St. GOran's resignation of her power. To the perfect acting of this witty drama too much praise cannot be gives. Mousieur Regnier's Hector Behan . ard is tee most entire of dualities. His listening is as good as his speaking—his per plexity is the most comical—his zeal the heartiest --his kindliness the most real in the world. Monsieur Ledo at was admirably natural and gentlemanlike as Mons. de SO. Geran ; while Madlle. St. Marc was su full of grace, so arch , and bewitching, as Aline, that we felt really indignant at seeing a lover who deserved so little, find, at the end of all his scrapes, such happiness in store fur him. Mridlle. Ju dith played with much judgment in the not very pleasant part of Louise, or Madame de St. Geraa. The preliminary piece was the amusing trifle, Le Roman d'une Heure, in which the graceful and striking figure of Mdlle. Faivre a?- peered to great advantage as the Young Widow. STRAND THEATRE. - - - A two act farce from the pen of Mr. Robert Brough was produced last night at this theatre, under the title of Kensington Gardens. it NV Is hailed with peals of Lughter throughout, and proved a decided hit. A fast young man (Mr. A. Davies), in amusing himself by rather impertinently addre,sing every petticoat he encounters in the gardens, is at list invited by a Member of ParliAm ent's wile to drive home to dinner, as she can by no other means get rid of his importunities. Here to his horror he finds a large party assembled, to whose faces he is mercilessly quizzed by the lady of the mansion (Mrs. Seymour), and introduced to each guest as ." the gentleman with whom she has not the honour of being acquainted." Among others, hcrw ever, he finds her niece, his old flame (Mias E. Romer), with whom he is, of course, at length made happy, but not until after some highly ludictoue passages of arms with the other personages, of whom the principal are a duelling old Colonel, (Mr. Tilbury) a snobby gent. (Air. Rogers), and a pert waiting-maid (BUSS Marshall). Had the principal character been in the hands of a goo?-light comedian the cast might have been pro nounced perfect ; as it was the piece went off admirably. $Mr. Rogers, in his small part, was delicious. He is a .thorough artist in his line; indeed he and Mr. Tilbury un erstand the mystery of " dressing' ? . it character as well es any actors on the boards. Tice entire piece is replete with fun, and on the tall of the curtain the honour of a recall was accorded to ail the drywalis pee some, and the author crossed the !loot-lights am idst vehement ,plaudits. The piece was very well mounted and appointed. The house was excellently attended . , and the good humour of the audi ence unbounded. (From the Daily News.) ..,...... --. Kensington Gardens—a topic of the day just now-- 4 wese last evening made the subject of a sparkling little itchedy, in two acts, by Mr. Robert Bruugh. The fun is it t cl hai l ed upon the lady-hunting propensities of a gentleman, who afterwards meets in a . I rawing-room the young ladies he has annoyed in the gardens. Mrs. Seymour, as a ..igni tied mar/ied lady, and Miss Marshall, as a pert wa2ting woman, acted well. The piece was quite successful, and Wes performed to a full house. ' Mr. Robert Brough, at its conclu sion, was called upon to bow his acknowledgments before 003 curtain. SURREY THEATRE, - - Last evening a new d‘nuestic drama of that peculiar class which has long found favour amongst the admirers of the non-legitimate, was produced here under the un usually modest title of ..I.Tichaelmas Day. The period of the play is fixed a hundred y-ars ago, •nd the action occurs in the vicinity of Carlisle. The princ'pal characters are an old miser, his daughter, her accepted suitor, a rejected lover, a " village scam," and an officer of the law. These various p,rsonages are brought together under cir cumstances which lead to the impression that they are sufficiently acquainted with each other's peculiarities as to render it somewhat difficult for any wry violent contest to arise amongst them. Nevertheless, such is the magic power exercised by the dramatist, that a murder is committed by one of •he fraternity; and :he murderer is supposod to be the accepted lover of the victim's daugh ter. Jealousy has been the cause of this accusation, and a prison the effect of it. The real culprit, of course, remains unknown until the conclusion of the piece, whilst the in nocent lover, who is made to answer for the charge, is exposed to sundry trials of patience and endurance, which are sufficient to drown all his hopes of a satisfactory ter mination to his attachment. The scenes of love and re venge which take place in the meantime are necessarily of the most ,listressing character, but in the end the virtuous are rewarded, and the vicious very properly punished, by command of the law, and to the satislactioa of the audience. The serious portion of the piece is, as usual, relieved by the exploits of buffoons, who appear ever and anon for the purpose of raising a laugh, often at the expense of com mon sense, but still to the delight of the contented occupants 01 pit and gallery. The drama was very cr tditably repre sented, and, as the production of a young writer, it may be said to give some promise, inasmuch as its chief merit dose not lie in prolonged dialogue, but in a satisfactory attempt at dramatic action. The play was quite successful, although the applause at the conclusion was not of that vehement character which marks an undoubted triumph at this the atre. As to the title—Michaelmas Day—it has nothing whatever to do with the piece, which might just as appropri ately be called " Good Friday" or " Shrove Tuesday. GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS COMPANY.—. The balance-sheet of the Great Central Gas Consumers Company, from its commencement to the 18th of March last, has been issued. The amount received has been 143,277/.

THE CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT STAMFORD.— Yesterday (Monday) an inquest was held at the Town-hall, Stamford, before John Torkington, Gent., coroner for the the body of G eor ge Large, aged 32, labourer , of lng on on. The prisoners 11I‘Glen, Barnett, an d F a rrell, were L h _o f ti r g each handcuffed to a policeman on their removal from the station -hou se to the Town-hall. In Maiden-lane a slight rush was made at M`Glen, and every now and then the three prisoners w ere g reeted, b y a large number of persons , with ye ns, hisses, groans, and cries of "Hang them !" The jury consisted of the most respectable tradesmen, and the inquest lasted above five hours, when a verdict Of Manslaughter was' returned against Patrick M•Glen and lilichael Barnett, and Farrel was set at liberty. A Supplement to the London Gazette of Friday' was published on Saturday afternoon, e .n aining the official account of the "Ceremonial observed at the State opening of the Exhibition of Industry of All Nations, on Thursday, the Ist of May, 1851."
