Alter the popular poems all esd v written by Clisrbs Mackay, any similar production ;roin the same hand must be peculiarly welcome to the multitude. His Town Lyl ies," his "Legends of the Isles," his "Voices from the Crowd," and his " Voices from the Mountain," have, on their successive appearance, at tested his large capwity as a lyrist, the melody of his style, and the scope of his imagination. Several of his lighter effusions hare attained, moreover, a popu larity sufficient to show his appreciation of the ag and his perfect knowledge of his contemporaries. Of this perhaps the most brilliant illustration was the song entitled " There's a Good Time Coming"—a song so perfectly accordant with the feelings of the moment, when it first appedred, set to music by Henry Russell, that it resounded in all parts of the country, was sung in every little c o ncert-roam and tavern throughout the kingdom , and, after thing ground into a very nuisance by the but-el-organs in the streets, was whi3tled by the little ragatnuflim; of the metropolis with an en thusiasm second only to that evinced by Uncle Toby tor the refrain of— Lero, lero, bulls❑-a-la! in his latest contribution to our poetic literature, Dr. Mackay has endeavoured to chaunt the glories and the triumphs of that great spirit of nature which he canno', like many others, regard as annihilated by the spread of scientific intelligence and the onward march of civilization. A charming and logical argu ment demonstrating the foolishness of such materialist ideas is prefixed to the book, in the form of a most entertaining preface—a preface constituting, as it were, Charles Mackay's declaration of faith in refer ence to modern poetry. His reverence fur Egeria is comparable cnly to that of Pompilius. He bows down and worships her beautiful phantasm, appearing to him in the green woods and on the mountain top, with the ardour related of Contarini Fleming by Disraeli. He drinks in the witchery of her eloquence with the avidity of a poet and a lover of solitude. The principal poem, dedicated to this lofty and idyllic theme, is couched in blank verse of an unstilted but harmonious character. Occasionally, it is true, the manner of this blank verse, from its being marked with a graceful simplicity, is allowed to sink into a tone somewhat too homely and colloquial, as where Montague says to Julian "Come, give thy heart a turn!" What we would comment upon most par ticularly, however, in the performance are, not its ble mishes, which are few, but its beauties, which are numerous. Our satisfaction in its perusal has been complete when we have lighted upon such wise and witty exclamations as the following : " A venerable lie outweighs a truth That only saw the light of yesterday." Nevertheless, gratified as we have been with " Egeria," we have received with a more peculiar pleasure the miscellaneous poems by which it is succeeded. Among these there are several equal to anything of the kind previously written by the lyrist. Take in proof of this the " Angel Visits," an exquisite conceit, or " Jubal and his Children," in which the creation of instrumental music is celebrated. "My Garden Gate " is a quaint and beautiful tribute to rural scenery ; and "Alternation," while it contains a similar panegyric on nature, as where it is said, December weaves the robe of May, And June's young blossoms drop, That Amultbw.i's horn may gleam With ripeness to the top," proclaims at the same time the worth and loveli ness discoverable among the artificial life of cities— thus : " Though Wisdom haunt the solitude, Greenwood or moorland brown, Yet there is Wisdom wise as she In highways of the town." In the " Nameless Mountain Stream," our author seems to have taken a hint from an idea long cherished by Coleridge. " Ino cursing Bacchus" is suggested by Foley's group in marble, and " The Spirit of the Blue-Bell "by an exquisite basso-relievo by Westmacott. " Fancy under the Trees" contains many a verse breathing of the dell and the coppice, and in a kindred picture, entitled " Summer Shades," we exult on coming to such a sentence as this : " Gold and power, though both be good, Lose, their charm in the fresh green•wood." Another panegyric on the simple joys derivable from nature, but of a different kind, is comprised in the stanza, "On Learning to Swim," in which the lyrist exclaims, in a rapture of delight which we can in some measure appreciate— " Such joy Leverrier tasted, When with his charts unfurled, Exploring heaven for Neptune, lie found the expected world." From another eulegium, one passed on "The Garden Spider," we must make a brief quotation, the subject being singularly new, and the purpose singularly beautiful : •' Though feared by many, scorned by all, Poor spier on my garden wall, Accused as ugly, cruel, sly, And seen with un avertEd eye; Thou shalt not lack one friend to claim Some nit rit for thy injured name, IC I have strength to right the wrong, Or iu men's memory lives my song. " Men ca I thee ugly;—did they look With closer eyes on Nature's book, They might behold in seeing thee A creature robed in brilliancy; They might admire thy speckled back Begemmed with purple, gold, and black; Tby hundred eyes, with diamond rims; Tby supple and resplendent limbs. " They call thee cruel; but forget, Although thy skilful trap be sq Ti capture the unwr.ry prey, That thou must eat as well as they. No pampered appetites hest thou, What kindly Nature's laws allow Thou tallest for thy daily food, Aud kindly Nature owns it good." While repeating aloud the sonorous and resounding carol on the " New Year's Promises," we can almost fancy to ourselves that we are listening to " The brazen rhymes Of the church-bell chimes." Scattered through such purely "fugitive verses," we encounter, as a matter of course, casual flaws and inelegances, such as the allusion in "Angel Visits" to the " corfliets with the pride and sin, That evtr surged and swell within;" or the vulgar recommendation to— Give Care the slip 1" uttered in " A Plea for our Physical Life." Making all allowanCe, however, for such incidental blemishes the roiscellawous poems which follow " Egeria" are in many instances really admirable. Charles Mackay, successful as he hzs ever been in that particular, has p , r -1 ; Lev, , r rro 1if1r17.7 io !* rr - rr ir,A. th. will I tttht droll nrl.l olw Lvt•rs :Ilan.'

(Mr. Pune stun or Pewminster, for even after seeing his signature, we confess to an uncertainty as to the right way of spelling his name) was deferred until Monday. The following letter posted yesterday at Tattersall's, bolds out little hopes to his creditors, and justifies a suspicion that the robbery was imaginary : " Dear Sir,— I have great regret in informing you that I shall he prevented settling my account at Tattersall's on Monday, entirely by the articles on the subject which have appeared in the daily papers, particularly the Times. On Friday morning, when I went to my uncle's man of business fur the money he had promised me, I found him in a most excited state, having just seen the Times and Herald. He said he had never heard such an infamous thing, that they had not only robbed me of my money, but had tried to rob me of my character. When I re minded him of his promise, he answered that I had told him it was for lost bete, but that had he known the circumstance, he never should have thought of accom modating me, but would have done all in his power to prevent my paying. He persisted that it was a regular conspiracy trying to persuade him to the contrary. He evidently had a great desire to inform my uncle, but I think he will not, for my sake. Pray tell my creditors, .particularly Messrs. Davis and Munton, who have be haved in the most gentlemanly manner, how much I re gret my inability to pay at present, but I have no doubt in a tew weeks they will be paid. At present I could not raise the money without the probability of coming to my uncle's cars, and that risk I would not incur if any one laid me down this moment 20,0001. I find that in Bell's Life they intended to give my name in full, but fortunately used six wrong letters out of eight. If my name should appear correctly, the consequence to mo may be, comparatively sneaking, ruinous. "I am, dear Sir, 3 ours very truly, " A. PEMISTON." That troubles "never come singly," the following copy of a second affiche," the uncle" referred to prob ably will explain:— " Gentlemen, —Owing to several severe losses this year, I urn sorry to say that it will be entirely out of my power to meet you at present, but shall be most anxious to do so the momt•nt it lies in my power. I must therefore beg of any genth man having bets with me on the Cambridge to scratch them. " Yours respectfully, " T. POILE." CURRAGH OCTOBER MEETING, OcT. 18.

Scercely less charming is the refrain to " Youth's Warning:”— " If wrong you do, if false you play In summer among the flowers, You must atone, you shall repay, In winter among the showers." In " nappy Love" an old, old saying is beautifully revived at the close of each stanza—thus : What is the meaning of the song That rings so clear and loud, Thou nightingale amid the copse— Thou lark above the cloud ? What says thy song, thou joyous thrush, Up in the walnut tree? ' 1 love my love, because I know My love loves me!'" Most exquisite dull these refrains, however, to our mind, is that in the suoined : " A BAN bj D TO TAKE. "You're rich, and yet you are not proud; You are not selfish, hard, or vain; You look upon the common crowd With sympathy, and not disdain; You'd travel far to share your gold With humble sorrow uncom-oled; You'd raise the orphan from the dust, And help the sad and widowed mother: Give me your hand—you shall—you must — I love you as a brother. FINAL. OPENING OF THE BM- TANN IA BRIDGE.

MENAI STRAITS, MONDAY —'ll'lle permanent public opning of the new line of tubes for the down line from London to Dublin took place this morning, the great structure 1), ing now in all important respects made complete. On Saturday Captain Simmons, the Government inspector, went over it early in the morning, and instituted, in conjuction with the en gin-ers, a long series of experiments. The first and principal experiment consisted in passing two loco motive engines through the tube, and resting them at intervals in the centre of the sections. At nine o'clock a train of twenty-eight waggons and two locomotives, with 280 tons of coal, was drawn into all four of the tubes, the deflexions being carefully noted. These deflexions, in every case, by means of a nice apparatus fur the purpose, were as certained to be exactly three-fourths of an inch over the immense mass and area of iron. Af er an in teresting rehearsal of these experimental ordeals, which occupied several hours, the train of 280 tons, with its two locomotives, wos taken out about a mile distant from the tube, and then sudde.tily shot through it with the greatest attainable rapidity, and the result was very interesting, as dett mining a much discussed question ; it being found that the at this immense velocity of the load was sensibly less in the way of undulation or collapse than when the load was allowed to remain at rest in the tuba. The manner in which these results were registered and arrived at was by means of a new and curious contrivance, it being found that the tremor occasioned by trans in transit prevented these deflections from being accurately read by the ordinary spirit level. This contrivance consists in a large pipe, containing water, laid along the lower cells of the tube, one end rising up within the tube at the centre, and the other end fixed against the stonework of the abutments of the bridge. Both extremities of this pipe are fur nished with glass tubes and graduated scales, by which the relative levels of the water are easily ascer tained. As the slightest leakage or evaporation over the ordinary thermometric expansion of the water would derange the level, ,while only half the actual deflection of the tube was registered at each end of the pipe, these disadvantages are obviated by the addition of a large reservoir of water in the interior of the tube, which is covered with oil and placed beside the graduated scale. This larger area exhi bited the whole of the deflections at the abutment extremity, and the apparatus presents a perfect mir ror of all the deflections of the great structure. V'i'e learn from Messrs. E. and L. Clark, the resident en gineers, who have watched minutely, from day to day, all the developed peculiarities of the novel undertaking, many curious and interesting results. These gentlemen state that the heaviest gales through the Straits do not produce so much motioa over the extent of either tube as the pressure against the side of the tube of ten men; and that the pressure of ten men keeping time with the vibrations produces an oscillation of inch, the tube itself making 67 double vibrations per minute. The strongest gusts of wind that have swept up the Channel during the late stormy weather did not cause a vibration of more than of an inch. The broadside of a storm causes an oscillation of less than an inch ; but when the two tubes are braced to gether by frames, which is now being done, these mo tions will be almost annihilated, and all apprehension from wind or weather, from their being secured to gether, will cease. They calculate that a violent storm exerts a power of about 201bs. on every square foot of tube exposed to its direct action, and, taking the side surface of the tube at about 13,400 square feet, the greatest strain caused would be about half a ton per square inch, or hardly worth notice. The meteorological results since the tubes have oc cupied their 100 feet elevation have materially differed from those that were observed when they lay along the Carnarvunshire coast. The action of the sun at midday, instead of bending them two or three inches, does not move them more than two-eighths or three eighths of an inch. The daily expansion and con traction of the tubes varies from half an inch to three inches, attaining either the maximum or minimum at about three o'clock A.m. and P.M. These and other interesting results, as indicating the safe working of the great machine, are read by means of self-registering thermometers that record the constant temperature, placed in mahogany cases, protected by plate glass, and under lock and key. There is also a self-acting clock-work apparatus that elevates a shaft on a vertical plane, all the minutest motions of the tubes being delineated by an arm carrying a pencil, which is fixed to the tube. If a compass be held over any part of the bottom of the cells, the south pole is effected, and if held over the top of the cells, the north pole is effected, and this effect is observable in all parts of the tube, whether at the centre or end, although their position is only about 10 degs. W. of the magnetic meridian. As a matter of history, probably, a chronological summary of the structure will be interesting. . 0 1' n u n o c f t 3 h o e , 8 18 r 4 i t 5 ;11 E t , i h a e - b ß r e sanctioning was t b h y e i c , o a n r- - str O uc n ti liament.

Next month an enormous sale is to take place of all the surplus material and stores. Preparations arc making for covering the tubes with a light arched roof of peculiar construction. The effect of two trains passing at the same time through the parallel tubes resembles distant thunder. All fear of collisions be tween two trains while there was only a single line of rails will now be obviated, though there was a man constantly on the look out on the approach of every train. L urge models of the bridge will form a promi nent feature in the next year's great Exhibition. Yesterday the Irish express train and others passed through the new line of tube, which will be hence• , forth constantly used. ---- .---- - !WE .I DE THE WRECK OF THE PROT' On Tuesday an inqu es t was h e ld before body borough co roner at Liverpool en v i ew of t h e ho_V of Hu;,h Williams, a cooper On b oar d the Providence, bound wrecked during for t1;!1 (• , •ist„ of _Africa, :Ind which was vvfe. of . 0 „ ,i... t h, jr, , , , I . f ;1,- ‘,ll B;i0. , l;:nl-.

PHRENO-MESMERISM AT LINCOLN.—PubIic interest is being attracted to the phreno-mesmeric results produced by Mr. Whall upon a youth apprenticed to Mr. Guy, joiner. The lad was mesmerised last Friday night, and after the sleep had been induced, catalepsy followed. Two of the strongest persons in the room could not unfold his arms when in this state, and spirits of ammonia were applied to the lad's nose without producing any sign of his being affected by it, though the application to the nasal organ of Mr. Whall pro duced tears. Secretly, and unknown to any one else present, env of the audience took a plaster cast from the room and hid it, and the youth being told of the fact an hour after wards, went out, discovered, and brought back the hidden cast, and pointed out the hider. Though unacquainted with phrenology, he manipulated the casts of the heads of various characters, and pronounced correctly the character of each. His supper being brought into the room, and the organ of gustativeness excited, lie became restless, started up, and found and ate the supper, leaving untouched a piece of gen tian which had been introduced. He also truly told one gentleman present the age of his mother at the period of her death, and the manner of 1 er death; and also related the circumstances connected with a defalcation on the part of a boatman, the amount of money given to the man before lie left Lincoln, the amount he had received since, and the amount of the defalcation. Other equally singular revela tions were made by the lad whilst in this clairvoyant state. The operator, it is said, does not believe that the phenomenon is more than an induced dream —Stamford Mercury. " And what care I how rich you be? I love you it your thoughts are pure: — What signifies your poverty, If you can struggle and endure?

If the nine v esse l s not yet retorted is taken at the same average, that will g i ve only 88 whales , and 650 tons of oil, or a falling off of 155 whales and 1,111 tons of oil. But, looking at the matter even in the most hopeful light, there seem, to be no hope of the produce of the fishing amounting to one-half of that of last season. Toe accounts from the continental produce markets Concur in representing most articles as being steadily sup ported, although business was less animated. Coffee and sugar at Amsterdam and Rotterdam were without material alteration, but prices continued to be regarded as firm. latsu PnovisroNs.—The vessel Dublin, arrived f r om Dublin, Belfast, and Waterford, has brought the large quantity of 614 bales and 30 butts of bacon, and also 2,959 firkins of butter; and the vessel Rose, arrived on the same day from Waterford, has brought 671 bales of bacon, and 2,345 firkins of butter, as part of cargo, the produce of Ireland. THE SUN, LON DON, TUESD A Y EVEN I NG, OCTOBER 22, 1850. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, Ocr74 —On Saturday afLernoon the F.edic hove in sight, making signals that her second lieutenant, Dent ; her surgeon, M'Whinnie ; her assistant-surgeon, Rose ; and four men, were ill, and she wanted a boat to convey them to the hospital. A covered boat was immediately sent by order of Rear- Admiral Harvey, and the lieutenant and surgeon with four men put on board and conveyed to the hospital ; the Rear-Admiral shortly after visiting them, and offering consolation in a manner so unaffectedly and friendly as to convey an immediate sense of his sin send Frolic'sto sin cerity and goodness of heart to the suffering patients. Mr. Rose, the assistant-surgeon, it was not thought necessary state o the to medical hospital, means, but th the h R Rear-Admiral Ac crippled the gar,:t immediate orders to Assistant-Surgeon Chapman (of the Medina) to proceed on board and assume the duties of the surgeon, th. n seriously ill in ho-pital—a mandate %Lich Mr. Chapman most willingly obeyed, although suffering from weakness of body, having on ly quitted the Ro3 al Naval Hospital two days before, iii which he had been labouring under a very severe illness, consequ nt on two attacks of cholera. It is most gratifying to report that Dr. Chapman's exertions have le en crowned with the most complete success ; he had got the assistant-surgeon round, and - on the Bth of October, when the brig came in fur stores for a few hours, his list of sick was very consi derably diminished, and but three bad cases remained. The conduct of C iptain Vansittart, as well as that of his officers and those of his men who were yet unscathed, was most exemplary. They lent every as sistance in their power, the men receiving from the officers noble examples of what could be done, and vieing with each other in rubbing those who were seized with cramp, and administering aid to the medical men, whose onerous duties were divided among so many. If I remember aright, Mr. Chapman, who is an as sistant-surgeon of eight years' standing, most emi nently distinguished himself in his professional capa city in 1847, both in Ireland and Scotland, during the famine, inure especially when engaged in assisting the distressed districts of the highlands and islands on the north-west coast of Scotland, in the Porcu pine steamer, in which he was then serving, and his conduct on that occasion called forth the warmest thanks of Commander R. Maclean, who was engaged as an inspector in the relief operations. The aid thus rendered was acknowledged subsequently by the Lords of the Admiralty, in their official letter to the senior officer on the station, Captain H. Layton. Of the forty-five actual cases of cholera, dysentery, and diarrhcea on board, only eleven proved fatal, viz., three on board and eight in hospital. I may state, in conclusion, that Lieutenant Dent and Dr. M`Wbinnie are doing well, as are all those under cure. On board, too, the disease has yielded to the active remedies employed ; and, unless from causes as yet unforeseen, the Frolic will in all probability escape the further effects of the dreadful affliction. It is worthy of especial remark, that when the Frolic was out of sight of the island, no attacks were recorded; but no sooner had she reached the island than the disease manifested itself. It is impossible to assign any cause for the sudden appearance of the dreadful malady after the brig bad been in port without a single case occurring a full fortnight. THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE 'OF TRAFALGAR The anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar was celebrated yesterday at the various professional clubs in town and country, and on board many of the ships in the ports. At Portsmouth the old Victory was dressed out with wreaths of evergreens at the trucks of her mast heads and ensign stall; &c. The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir B. Capel (who had the honour to command the Pho3be frigate in this memorable action), gave a grand dinner, and Lady Capel bad a ball in the evening, to which a large number of ladies and naval and military officers were invited. _ . Major-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence also had a grand field-day on Southsea-common, in honour of the occasion ; he commanded in person. The Royal Marines came over from Porton. The 28th, .50th, and 82d Regiments—Royal Marines, Royal Marine Artillery, and Royal Artillery, with their guns—were brigaded, and went through a variety of field evolutions. The following are the surviving Trafalgar officers on the flag-list :—Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, G.O 8., G.C.M.G., the only survivor who commanded a line-of-battle ship (Orion), in the action; the Hon,.

One- is an hermaphrodite ass, and the other a-calf with two heads. The former is a native of Africa, of small stature, grey in colour, and timid of character the latter is a stout heal,hy animal of a black colour, having affixed to its regular neck a long, thin, cord-like appendage, in wh ch an artery is felt to beat, and which terminates in a sort of fleshy ball, divided at the end, and having two jaws and a sort of tongue, the latter always in motion. Both of these animals may be seen in the large rotunda in which the ze b ra s are placed.

A fur ther arrival of an amount Equal to 360,0001. sterling from California had caused additional ease in the money market, and the rate for the best paper was now 6to 7 per cent. In the prices of stocks there had been no alteration. In cotton there had been large sales at to i cent advance, and a frost having oc curred at New York on the nights of the 6th and the 7th of October, exaggerated reports were expected of the extent to which it might have been felt towards the south. Besides the failure of Messrs. Gannett, Balch, and Co., dry goods jobbers at Boston, there had also been that of M'Williams and Gregory, in the same business at New York. The former house were in ir.ood credit, and their debts are stated at 400,000 dollars, hut the liabilities of the latter are small. There had been a good demand fir bills on England, and the market at the close was firm ut 110 i. The details of the mining operations in Cali fornia are all of the same character as those received by the previous arrival. The dates are seventeen days liter, namely, to Ist of Sep. tember. The failure of the " banking- boas( s" of lien• Al'lclight, and Co., and Webass and Co., of S crarnenta), is mentioned. Large subscriptions were being raised for the relief of the overland emigrants, whose near approach had been ascertained. Almost all the Peru% ians (generally spoken of as Cbilian,) had left the country in fear, and with the most hostile feeling to the Americans. Some of the miners are s iid to be steadily realizing extraordinary sums, but the chief feature of the present accounts is the descrip tion of the results obtained from the goldrbearing quartz. The Sun Francisco Herald, in a notice of some of the specimens, says : " Several lumps were selected, in which no particle of gold could be discovered even with a microscope. These were pounded in a mortar, and when reduced to a fineness somewhat less fine than common table salt, were washed in a rude tin pan. Each piece, notwithstanding its outside unpromising appearance, yielded, when so reduced, several grains of gold. The estimated product was 12 cents to the pound of rock; although we had heard this fact stated, we had hitherto hesitated to give it credence; but we have certainly seen the proof, and we no longer doubt. We believe that a vast quantity of gold is thrown away by miners, because of the want of machinery with which to crush the rock and extract the metal. " The Stockton and Aspinwall mines, from which this ore was extracted, are situated near to the Mari posa camp, and are mostly on the main fork of the little Mariposa creek. The location selected for the mill and operation of the steam•engine and stamps, is at the base of the mountain through which the quartz vein runs, giving sufficient elevation to the works for carrying away the sands that shall be washed off in the process of collecting the gold. The vein now being worked by several men in get ting out the ore is so accessible, that four or five adits may be driven on its course at the same time, and ore taken out the whole of the time this work is being prosecuted ; and also affording an opportunity to take ore from the back of the vein by other hands, when it can be broken down with the pick and gad, with an occasional blast. It is estimated that 140 gallons of water will be wanted each minute for the washing of the ores that can be reduced to fine powder by the machinery. The location selected is well situated to have this supply by the erection of a small dam, and by cutting a race to the mill, so that the water can be conveyed directly to the machinery and avoid the necessity of pumps, which work is now undertaken. " The mountain in which the vein of ore is found, and which belongs to the Stockton and Aspinwall mines, will afford a back of more than 500 feet from the lowest adit now being made in the course of the vein. These mines embrace 1,100 or more feet in the course of the vein, and ores can be raised from them at a low cost in comparison with the expenses attending the mining on veins to which cross tunnels have to be run to cut them. " The machinery to be placed at these mines will reduce and wash full 10 tons of ore per day, and the gold gathered from the operation is daily ascertained. The machinery adopted for use at these mines is of the most approved kind, and such as Commander Stock toa has used in the Virginia mines for the last two years. It is worked under the superintendence of Mr. Taylor, a gentleman until recently in charge of the Virginia mines. Should the vein last, as there is now every reason to believe probable, the quantity of gold that will be extracted during the next ten years is incalculable. Mr. Taylor estimates that tho vein cannot be exhausted in fifty years." JENNY LIND IN BOSTON. " Bo:tun is a pretty place. And so is Philadelphy." So runs the songs, and so the reception given to Jenny Lind by the Bostonians would most satisfac torily prove. The following account of the first auction sale of tickets for her first concert will amuse those who are not acquainted with the peculiarities of the American people dwelling in the great Republic known as the United States : _ " Long before the hour announced for the com mencement of the auction sale of choice seats toeTenny Line's first concert this forenoon, the temple (Tre mont Tempe) was crowded. "At precisely ten o'clock Colonel Newell A. Thompson, the auctioneer, made his appearance on the table adopted for the rostrum, saying that the goods v. Web he was about to sell required but little to be said in their praise from the auctioneer. He then stilted what seats had been reserved fur the press, and that he should put up iu the first place the right of choice fui one ticket or seat only, and after that had been disposed of he would sell the right of choice from one seat to a whole slip, the amount bid to be paid as premium for each and every seat taken. He pledged his word, first as an auctioneer — (Laughter)—and then as a citizen of Boston, that no one was employed by Mr. Barnum, or any one else, to hid exorbitant prices for tickets, but that the sale was bona fide, and any one could bid as he pleased. He re gretted to be obliged to say that Tremont Temple was the best hall in Boston for the concert to be given in, and he hoped that this occasion would stir up the people of Boston to erect a more spacious and suitable hall, in which to hold concerts. He knew that it was contrary to the wish of Miss Lind to have tickets for her concerts sold at auction ; but without further detaining the audience be would proceed to give those gentlemen who were, desirous of having the first choice, and the benefit of such a medium of adver tising, an opportunity to settle the question Who shall he be ?" Now, gentlemen, how much for the first ?" Two hundred and fifty dollars,' says Mr. Hale. ' Pretty good for the first bid,' cries a spec tator—followed by applause.

The Ami de la lieligion contains a bull cf the Pope, re-establishing th-3 vscopal hierarchy in England. The portion of the dLcument which refers to the dif ferent dioceses is as follows : "Beginning with the London district, it will form two sees, namely, that of Westminster, which we ele vate to the metropolitan or archiepiscopal dignity, and that of Southwark, which we assign to it as a suffragan, as well as the others hereafter mentioned. The diocese of Westminster will include the portion of the said district extending to the north of the Thames, and comprise the counties of Middlesex, Essex, and Hert ford; that of Southwark, to the south of the Thames, will comprise the counties of Berks, Southampton, Surrey, Sussex, and Kent, with the Isle of Wight, Jersey, Guernsey, and other adjacent islands. " In the district of the north there will be but one episcopal see, that of the district. The district of York ,A 111 also form but one diocese, and the bishop will reside at Beverly. The district of Lancaster will be divided into two bishoprics, Liverpool and Salford. The juri,diction of the former will extend to the Isle of Alan. As regards the county of Chester, although belonging to that district, we annex it to another diocese. " Iu Wales there will be two episcopal sees—namely, Salop, and Merthyr-lidvil and Newport united. The diocese of Salop will conpri , e, in its northern part, the counties of Anglesey, Carnarvon, Denbigh, Flint, Me rioneth, and Montgomery, to which we annex the county of Chester, detached front the district of Lan caster, and that of Salop, from the central district. The diocese of the B!shop of Merthyr-Tidvil and Newport will be formed of the southern counties of the district, Brecknock, Glamorgan, Carmarthen, Pembroke, and Radnor, as also the English counties of .Monmouth and Heretbrd. "In the western district we create two episcopal sees, Clifton and Plymouth. The first will comprise the counties of Gloucester, Somerset, and Wilts, and the other those of Devon, Dorset, and Cornwall. " The central district, from which we have already detached the county of Salop, will include two epis copal sees, Nottingham and Birmingham. We as sign to the first the counties of Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, and thine of Rutland and Lincoln, which we separate from the eastern district ; and, to the se cond, the counties of Stafford, Warwick, Bucking ham, and Oxford. " Finally, the eastern district will only contain one episcopal see, which will assume the name of the town of Northampton, and presrrve its present limits, with the exception of the counties of Rutland and Lincoln, which we have annexed to the diocese of Nottingham: REFORMATION OF CRIMINALS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sts,—l omitted in my letter of yesterday to state, that I hope Sir George Grey will carefully look to the reformation of criminals generally, more particu larly to those of our convicts who I suggested should be employed in the reclamation of waste lands. Con victs should work hard, but be entitled to the full value of their labour beyond the cost of their keep and educatiqn, so that on their return to society, they should have sufficient funds (these to be retained of course until their discharge and then seen to be pro perly applied) to enable them to commence in some small trade or shop, or to emigrate, in order to pro cure their future subsistence honestly. . To prevent the return of convict; to crime this is imperatively necessary, as it is well known that it is hopeless for those who have once been in prison to prcure employment. For want of this provision and precaution we have to thank ourselves in a great measure (though the mal-administration of justice by the unpaid magistracy has had much to do with it) for the myriads of convicts we have made and who are so constantly obliged to return to crime. In what other way are they to exist ? I am, Sir, yours, &c., ZEN - 0. Liverpool, Oat. 18, 1850. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday an accident of a very alarming character took place at Rotherhithe to a pleasure-party, whereby, it is feared, several persons were fatally injured: -It appears that Mr. Hughes, the pro prietor of the extensive tar and varnish works, Plough- Midge-road, Rotherhithe, had invited the workmen in his employ to a dinner at his private residence at Sydenbam, Kent, when the foreman (Joseph Madison) made arrange ments with Mr. Isaac Miss, of Bermondsey-wall, for the conveyance of the part y in a spring van. About twenty persons got inside, and the others sat down on the top of the vehicle. The foreman took the reins, and Mr. Bliss sat by his side, when the party proceeded towards the Ueptford road, and, as the van neared the Red Lion Tavein, adjoin ing St. Helena Gardens, the near horse shied at something passing. The horses became unmanageable and darted off, dragging the van with its living freight on to the high patl way, and before the horses could be stopped the vehicle turned completely over, precipating those on the top with fearful violence to the ground. The scene at this time was mos - alarming; the Ito, .s were plunging and kicking, and the ii .side passengers were to be seen in serious contusion making their escape by the windows on the upper side, whilst eight of those who were on the top were lying on the ground shockingly injured. The foreman was carried to a neighbouring surgeon's with a compound f rac ture o f the left leg, fractured &c. Mr. Mims, the proprietor of the van, also sustained fractures of both bones of the right leg, with contusions on various plr's of his body. The former was conveyed in a cab to St. Thomas s Hospital, and the lager to Guys. Another of tilt, party re,eived a concussion of the brain and a lacerated wound of the scalp by falling on his head, but he was taken home. Others who were very seriously injured were likewise conveyed to their respective residences. Most of them NV eie going on favourably, but the reporter was-inforn ed that one of the men had expired from the effects of the injury during Sunday. - - DEANS OF CATHEDRALS AND BEADS I`F COLLFGES. —According to X recent Act if Parliament (13 and 14 Viet., chap. 98) it is provided that it shall not be lawful for ruy person appointed after the passing, of the Act to the deanery of any cathedral church to hold the office of head ruler of any college or hall within either the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, or the office of provost of Eton College, or of warden of Winchester College, or of master of the Chatter house, together with his deawry. This enactment is not to apply to the Dean of tho Cathedral Cburch of Christ in Ox ford, as chief ruler of the c liege there maintained. Heads of colleges in the Universities are not to hold cathedral prefer ment except in cases where benefices or cathedral prefer ments may be permanently attached to or Corm part of the endowment of the office. The Act is entitled, "An Act to amend the Law relating to the holding of Benefices in Phi • rality." THE ESSEX MURDER —An eye-witness states that a more distressing group than the family presented on Sa turday, in Doddinghurst churchyard. at the funeral of Jael Denny, it would certainly he difficult to conceive. he Lather-ill-law is nearly seventy years of age and the mother is more than sixty. All their means of living is derivable from the scanty wages of the old man, as a labourer on the farm of Mr. Cumbers, who took Last into his employ when he was discharged a few weeks since by Mr. Drory, son. Mrs. Last is a woman of tolerable education, and has brought up a family of eight children, of whom the de ceased was the youngest. Last had also eight children when he married Mrs. Denny, some years since, but both families are now grown up, and the deceased was the only child who resided with her parents. The poor old couple are, in truth, very worthy otjects of sympathy, and if any charitably-disposed p trues should feel inclined to ex tend to them a little temporal relief in the hour of their affliction, Mr. Hammond has consented to receive subserip tions,;addressed to him at the Brentwood Post-office, and to Yec the fline..

SOUTH WALES lams-WORKS —lncreased activity is apparent in portions of the great mineral field in South Wales, particularly in the neighbourhood of Bridgend and Itlaesteg. It is currently reported that the Maesteg Iron works, . which have been closed during the last four years, will very shortly be re-opened under extremely favourable circumstances. At the Garth works an increased number of men have been employed, and in the underground works greater activity is. visible. Surveys have been unde.taken preparatory to the formation of new tramways, the opening of fresh levels, and extension of air and ventilating pits. The Llynvi works are likewise to be enlarged by the addition of a new mill to the fiutshing departtnent.—lfcrefurd' Times.
