We gather this from the glowing lan guage is which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility.

THE SUN, finita 5z4,. LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1851. Considerable dissatisfaction was very naturally ex pressed at the announcement of her MAJESTY'S inten tion to " open" the Crystal Palace with " closed doors." The absurdity of the bull itself sufficiently indicates the anomaly and incongruity which would inevitably have marked such a proceeding. Here was an exposition of industry, not provincial in its character, not metropolitan, not national, not Euro• pears, but embracing within one comprehensive range the whole family of mankind. It was promoted with the avowed intention of celebrating the progress al ready made by humanity in carrying out the destinies of modern civilization. It was no party movement, no class demonstration, no exclusive festivity in ho nour of any one section of the masses —but a cosmo politan display of the products of art, industry, and manufactures, calculated to promote good feeling while tending also to excite emulation. The arena of this international exhibition was one, moreover, of appropriate importance : not the chief city of a sub ordinate state in Christendom, but the capital of that great empire of the Anglo-Saxons which ex tends farther than the dreams of ALEXANDER, or the colonies of CAtSAR, or the conquests of N APOLEON — an empire comprehending in itself peninsula s , and islands, and even archipwla-, goes, territories in each of the four great continents and a new one of no inconsiderable dimensions, namely, the southern continent of Australasia. It was in the metropolis of this gigantic empire of Britain that the representatives of the industry of the nations of the earth were to assemble during the approaching season, and the inauguration of their assembly was to be rendered more peculiarly re markable by the presence of her Most Gracious MA JESTY the Sovereign of these realms of England. Yet, at the very moment when every one prepared to exult at the proximity of this auspicious ceremony, the island was "startled from its propriety" by news that the public would be excluded from witnessing its celebration. No wonder that the first exclama tions of surprise dropped down gradually into sounds not very unlike, in some instances, the mutterings of indignation. No wonder the satisfaction with which the multitude were anticipating the commencement of the Exhibition was somewhat damped by intelligence so peculiarly sinister and inauspicious. All kinds of conjectures were, of course, indulged in by the mal contents, including those of a certain dread expe rienced as to the possibility of an assassination. As suredly, if such were the actuating motives in this very extraordinary determination, fear had blinded her MAJESTY'S advisers to facts which would have been apparent under other circumstances to those gifted only with the most ordinary amount of common sense. Reason would have told them, had they not perversely deafened themselves against her persuasive accents, that a deed of this kind might be much more readily effected outside than inside the Crystal Palace. Besides, had these lugubrious whis perers of alarm such little confidence in the loyalty of her MAJESTY'S subjects that they could dream of any such atrocity being ventured upon without a cer tainty on the part of the assassins of being instantly sacrificed to the frenzy of the popular vengeance ? Shopkeepers we may be, cotton-spinners and manu facturers, but with all our thoughts of £ s. d., and with all our dusty habits of business, there is still, we trust, sufficient chivalry left amongst us to impel the vast body of the English population to avenge even the pettiest insult:to our Most Graci ous SOVEREIGN. When SHAKSPERE says, in Hamlet, that " there's such divinity doth hedge a king, that treason dares not peep at him," he might have added that that protection is somewhat enhanced by the loyalty of a devoted and energetic multitude. Against any calamity, therefore, of the kind imagined there was the most effectual of all defences that could pos sibly surround the QUEEN—the bulwark of a nation's love, and of an almost unexampled popularity. Our beloved MONARCH has appreciated the force of this consideration, and with that regard for the wishes o, her people, which she has ever evinced from the pe riod of her accession, has at once consented to allow the purchasers of season tickets to be admitted to witness the ceremony of inauguration. For this ready compliance with a generally expressed desire we have reason to be thankful, in the first instance, to the urbanity of the QUEEN, and in the next to the assiduous exertions of Lord GRANVILLE and the other members of the Executive Committee. In consequence of the publicity given to the open ing of the Exhibition by her MAJESTY, it is intended, we believe, to impart to the occasion an air of pomp and grandeur of nearly unexampled magnificence. With an edifice like the Crystal Palace, adorned by such accessories, crowded by such an assemblage, and invested with such associations, there will as- suredly be no difficulty whatever in rendering the event of its inauguration one of the most memorable in the reign of VICTORIA. Among other things, ii • has already been suggested, we observe, that from the noble organs already erected in the build ing should flow music of an appropriate character, so to combine the blandishments of this, about the divinest of the fine arts', with the charms of other and equally charming decorations. One of these superb instruments we had yesterday ourselves the gratification of hearing as we stood in the centre of the Palace, looking to the east and west along the great transpt, and listening to the solemn tones of the diapason as they rolled down those sublime perspectives of blue and amber. To afford any adequate notion of the effect of the whole spec tacle would be difficult if not altogether impracti cable. The exquisite proportions of the structure, the lightness and delicacy of its colouring, the symmetrical blending of its solid and transparent materials, the astonishing variety, and, in a thousand instances, the amazing beauty of its contents—some gorgeous, others curious, others ingenious, others vast and complicated, others again remarkable for their compactness and sim plieity—render the whole scene one without a blemish and without a parallel. Seeing the novelty as well as the magnitude of the enterprise, it is earnestly to be hoped that every endeavour will be made by the autho rities to render the ceremony of its inauguration one worthy not only of the occasion, but of the age, the country, and the SOVEREIGN. That such efforts will be adventured upon we rest entirely satisfied, from the energy already displayed by those entrusted with the conduct of the arrangements. As the project has been undertaken magnanimously by England, we trust that the Executive Committee will so act in every particular as to render it creditable not only to England but to Christendom. Some short-sighted persons have thought proper to censure the Liberal Members, more especially the re presentatives for the metropolitan districts, for yield ing too easy an assent to the imposition of the house tax. According to these sagacious personages, the fiscal reformers should have " died on the floor of the House" before they sanctioned so iniquitous and partial a tax ; they should have insisted on the total and unconditional abolition of the window-tax; there should be no substitute for that which was so utterly indefensible in itself; but the blot and stain should at once and for ever be erased from the national statute-book. Such are some o f th e complaints that have been forward with a view of impairing the con b rought t R t ' h e ey tru a s : e t dence which should n b d e i e n x d h e i f b a i t t i e g d a b towards f 0 r t h m e faithfulfew who honestly a d the im_ cide, th a t th ey p h o o r w t a e n v e t r duties the e n confided people der the real nature of the e f the only alternative afforded, b efore they ven t ure to condemn bore those who question u n d er c w on il s l id c e o r n a s t l ion, o unwillingly yielded to the CiaNcELLo to be carried C HEQUER, and p erm i t t e d hi s resolution s of the Ex without a division. Sir CHARLES WOOD, in framing these reso lutions, di sp l ayed a certain degree of mis chievous ingenuity, lie contrived it so that they could not be subdivided, that it would not be practicable to affirm the part that related to the abolition of the , window-taz and negatiai that respecting the house. ~_„ ... . ti — a. 112, .1 d.r," A i ' ,, • -to ~ . , - ", , f ~...44 . , r 4 , ' - ,77:0 ' :., s . - ...,5* . .• .. , ;'''' 4 1 '.' 1 , / kV ° . •:.$ 4. . r ,' m::: s ;.' ,',.- „bienT ''.

It enacts that the Council shall be adjoined to the Ministry, with a deliberative vote in legislative matters, and a consultative one in other subjects. The Presi dent of the Council is to take rank after the First Minister. The National Gazette of Berlin states, on authority of a letter from Vienna, that the Conservative party is at present intriguing to overthrow the Ministry of Prince SCHWARTZENDERG, and to replace it by one presided over by Prince METTERNICH. The letter adds, that it is considered that a Aletternich Cabinet would probably be able to re-establish on a firm footing friendly relations between the German powers. tax. He took advantage of the circumstance that the duty on light and air was technically a house tax, and that the windows or orifices only affected the assessment. This argument was about of equal value to that which declared " that persons were not im prisoned because they happened to be in debt, but for contempt of the SOVEREIGN, or the Court in which proceedings were instituted, in refusing to obey the order for satisfaction." It, however, proved effectual for the time being. It was proposed that the duties granted by certain Acts of Parliament upon dwelling-houses, and levied and assessed according to the number of windows or lights therein, shall be levied and assessed upon in habited dwelling-houses, according to the annual value thereof, in manner therein set forth. Now, if this resolution were affirmed the house-tax would be imposed, if rejected the window duty would be continued in its present unequal, oppressive, and impolitic form. We believe that there cannot be a second opinion that the proposed tax, although bad in itself, is a decided improvement on that previously in operation. It is an " instalment of justice," and it would be an act of but scanty wisdom to forfeit all by grasping at a full measure of relief. The Liberal Members, if they had pursued such a course, might have been praised for consistency, but it must have been at the expense of their judgments and under standings. It was, however, distinctly and unequi vocally stated that the very first opportunity would be taken to ascertain the feeling of the House on the question. Indeed, Sir BENJAMIN HALL gave notice, that if it were not competent for him this session to do so, he should certainly on as early an occasion as he could, move for the repeal of the house tax, This candid announcement, while it gave warning to the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER of the unmiti gated and inextinguishable hostility of the Hon. Baronet to that unjustifiable impost, should have fully satisfied every fiscal reformer, and prevented the utterance of the complaints and reproaches to which we have already alluded. As to a house-tax, per se, it is unnecessary for us to repeat our views on the subject. We are, and ever shall be, the strenuous advocates of direct taxation equitably and fairly imposed. We desire to do away with all indirect taxes, that press unduly on industry, compel persons to contri bute to the support of the national establishments, not in proportion to their means, but in proportion to their necessities, and extract much larger sums from the pockets of the people than find their way into the Exchequer. We desire to see the glorious prin ciples of free trade fully and fairly carried out—that England should become the emporium of the world, and this object can only be attained by gradually reducing, until we ultimately abolish, all import duties. We desire to increase our native productions, to stimulate every description of manufacture, and these can only be achieved by repealing the excise laws, and rendering every Englishman's house, in point of fact and truth, as it is now in theory—" his castle." But taxation is a necessary evil Unless we would repudiate the national debt, we must provide for the liquidation of the liabilities imposed on us by the extravagance of our forefathers ; unless we would see our native land hurled from the lofty position she has achieved, we must maintain our establishments in full efficiency. There must, then, be direct taxation, but it should be equitable, and the house-tax is not equitable. For, in the first place, the exemption of all under 20/. value will exonerate many persons well able to defray the impost. And again, why should house property be more heavily charged than any other description of real, or even than any kind of personal property ? This is the real question to be answered, and we have never heard a satisfactory response even attempted. If a substitute for the window-tax were necessary, why not have increased the charges under Schedules A and C ? This would have satisfied all parties, and been an additional step in the right direc tion ; but Sir CHARLES Woo]) cannot, even by acci dent, blunder into the right course, or do anything calculated to lessen the odium or diminish the load of unpopularity which he has brought on his unfor tunate colleagues. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the National, the only journal published yesterday in Paris, Easter having been kept as a close holiday at all the other newspaper offices. The National has a long article on the chimerical and illegal nature of all attempts that may be made to prolong the powers of the PRESIDENT contrary to the provisions of the Constitution, and warns all those engaged in them of the consequences. General CAVAIGNAC will, it is announced, be a candidate for the Presidency of the Re public, and his chances of success are considered rather flattering, as from his known up rightness of character no one doubts but that he will implicitly obey the provisions of the Constitution, and at the end of his four years' service retire, without seeking to be re-elected. It is therefore probable that all, whether moderate Republicans, I4egitimatists, or Orleanists, who dread the ambition of the Impe rialists, and who are not strong enough to bring about their own solution, will rally round CAVAIGNAC and the Constitution. Algiers journals to the 15th have arrived. The Governor-General returned to that city in the evening of the 14th, from his excursion to Phi lippeville. During his trip the Governor saw all the authorities, and other persons who wished to communicate with him, visited all the public establishments, reviewed the national guards and troops, and inquired into the state and wants of the province. The Akhbar says : A small column, consisting of two battalions of Zouaves, of a squadron of Spahis, and of a detach ment of artillery was sent to the district of the Beni Mansour, in Kabylia, an d on t h e 9 t h i t was sharply attacked by a numerous band of Kabyles, under the Cherif MOULAY-BRANIM. In the engagement the French had fifty men placed hors de combat, and amongst the killed was M. Hussos, Lieutenant of Zouaves. It is announced that General BLANGINI, on hearing of this event, and on learning that agita tion is rapidly increasing amongst the Kabyles of the Jurjura, left for Aumale, where he will establish his head-quarters , and the disposable reinforcements are to follow him so as to enclose th e i nsurrect i on w i th i n the smallest limits.

The April adjourned general quarter sessions for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning, at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green. The calendar con tains the names of 108 prisoners. Thomas Dillon, aged 24, was charged with stealing, on the 21st ult., 30 yards of cotton, the property of Mr. Plumpton, of the Whitechapel-road. It appeared from the evidence of Police-constable Mid dleton, 139 H., that he was on duty near the prosecutor's shop, when he saw the prisoner take the cotton, which was standing about four yards inside, and run away. Prisoner threw the cotton into the road, and was, af ter a smart chase, captured. The prosecutor having identified the property, The prisoner, in defence, said that the cotton was thrown into his face; but it coming on to rain, and not thinking it all right, he threw it away. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS having summed up, The jury found him Guilty, and it having been proved that he had been three times before in prison, he was sentenced to six months' hard labour in the House of Correction. Major Paschal, of the 70th Regiment, has been selected by the authorities for the responsible situation of military interpreter and superintendent of the several bodies of foreign-police expected over here during the period of the Exhibition, the duties of which, we understand, be is per fectly qualified to perform, from his intimate knowledge of the German and k'rench languages. Major-General Roderick Macneil has been ap pointed to the Staff at Madras, and will relieve Major- General Aitchison in that Presidency. THE ORLEANS FAMILY. — Her Majesty the ex- Queen of the French, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess de 'Nemours, the Count do Paris, and other members of the ex-Royal Family of France, came to town from Claremont in the middle of last week, to attend the religious services of the Holy Week at the French chapel in George-street, Portman-square. Cardinal Wiseman has been to Claremont to pay a visit to the Queen and the other members of the ex-Royal Family of France domiciled at that place. ACCIDENT AT THF. LIME-STREET STATION.-- LIVERPOOL., 1110.tqs.s.z.—We regret to state that an accident took place at the Lime-street station of the London and North-Western Railway last night, which, we are glad to observe, was not of a serious character. It appears that the train from Scotland which is due in Liverpool at 10.10 P.M. carte through the Lime-street tunnel last night at a greater speed than usual, in consequence of the insufficiency of the break, and ran against the spring buffer which is fortunately provided in the station, and which to a considerable extent broke the shock. One of the carriages sustained some da mage; but, with the exception of a few slight bruises, we believe that the passengers escaped personal injury. EXCURSIONS ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL WAY.---Yesterday the Shoreditch terminus presented a scene of extraordin ary b ustle in consequence o f t h e mult i tudes ar riving by the excursion trains from Norfolk, Suffolk, Cam bridgeshire, Isle of Ely, and Essex. The Colchester line train came in shortly after twelve o'clock, bringing nearly 1,000 passengers. At two o'clock about 1,500 were brought by flee Cambridge district line, the train consisting of 38 carriages. These results are further gratifying indications of the . spirit and di scr i m i nat i on of t h e new executive, espe cially when contrasted with last year's policy, owing to which there were no holiday trains at this season, greatly to the regret of the inhabitants of the eastern district, and equally detrimental to the interests of the company, for the working expense of these trips are ascertained .to be but a small per-centage on the aggregate receipts derived from them. ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—A. meeting of the guardians and supporters of this institution was held yesterday at the Thatched-house Tavern, St. James's street; Lord Radatock in the chair. The statement of accounts read by the secretary showed the receipts of the society during the year to have been 2,1091., and the ex penditure 7631., leaving a balance in favour of the society amounting t 0,1,346/. The busineee before the meeting was unimportant. THE SHARE MARKETS BRITISH RAILWAYS. Bailvrayl: Aberdeen.. •• •• Ambergato, Nottingham, Boston, & E.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were estimated at 5,000 bales. The market was quiet but firm.—Railway Shares were firm. The Colonial Markets re-open to-morrow, after the holidays, for public sales. Several ships have arrived from Australia and New Zealand. The latest date we have seen from Sydney is January 7. A large business bad been done in Wool, owing to the intelligence received out of the favourable issue of the sales held here in August and September last. Some northern samples sold as high as ls. 3d. per lb. In Sugar and other similar imports there had been extensive transactions, owing to purchases for the interior, and prices had generally advanced, but they would have been decidedly better if the merchants had not pressed supplies forward, although the stocks they held were small. Mr. W. C. Mais, just arrived out, had been appointed engineer to the Sydney Railway. Owing to the numerous murders committed by the blacks in the Wide Bay and Burnett districts, Government had sta tioned a large police force there for the pro tection of the settlers. In four months, according to one statement, no less than 4,000 sheep had been de stroyed, and the supineness of the Government was much complained of, as depredations and violence have occurred at intervals for several years. The New Zealand advices do not appear to be of im portance. At 'Wellington the settlers were going on in much the same way as previously. The steamer Canada from the United States is announced, and her letters are expected in town before the close of business to•day. At present we can merely observe that the telegraphic outline is looked upon as very satisfactory in regard to money matters. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 19th inst. was quiet, both for Dutch and Foreign Bonds, but Portuguese were in some request. The English Stock Market is exceedingly dull, and the holidays have an influence. There is an im pression that as money continues to leave this country for India, a good deal having been sent to Southampton, and thence by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer within the last week, although this does not appear in the official returns, that the Bank of England may yet find it necessary to enhance its terms of discount. This suggests eaution and causes indeci sion; but the principal reason why we think the Bank may safely postpone for another fortnight any restrictive action, is the extreme probability of large amounts of bullion being brought here by the visitors to the Exhibition.

THE TEA TRADE, Anat. 21.—The deliveries of tea in London last week were 546,8441 b., being about 68,0001 b. less than in the preceding week. The occurrence of Good Friday will partly account for the falling off. PRESERVED COCIC.SCOMBS.—A vessel which has arrived from Dunkirk has brought some packages of preserved cockscombs as a portion of her cargo. This appears to be a somewhat singular article of importation from France.

The owner, H. G. Smith , FA was present, with a large party, besides many hundreds collected to witness the scene. The day being fine, and many gay dags flying, guns firing, and the prisence o f a great number of ladies, rendered the launch one of the most gay and animated scenes imaginable. The vessel, which was named the Yeera, glided beautifully into the water amidst the deafening cheers of the assembled crowd. Messrs. Robert Stephenson and Co., of this town, supply the engines to her, and altogether there is no doubt thet this vessel will prove that nowhere can better or cheaper iron 'Mole be built than On the Tyne.—Xeutcastle Journal.
