Youth, perhaps, never reels more joyous than when it contemplates the half-ye .rly vacation, unless it be when 1 okisg firward during the holidays to new clothes. But how much would the delight be en hanced, if, instead of the ceremony of measuring by the family tailor, and hearing his recommendation of th's, that, and the other fashion or cut, the puents would take them where they 'you'd see every pre vailing style adapted for all ages, and allow them to chose for them selves—not that they need be left altogether to select without advice, but their natural guardians would be infinitely better satisled if they saw every description of appropriate dress m .du up in the first style if elegance, instead f being obliged to take a suit when brouaht home, made according to the single Idea of one man. fit nine times out of ten, if it by a lucky chance happens to fit, it does not altoge ther please.

APPOINTMENTS. WooLwlcH, JUNE 21.—Lieutenants—Charles G. Grylls (1817), and Charles W. Russell (1850), to the Re ribution for service in the Sidon, 22, paddle-wheel steam frigate of 560 horse power, the latter vessel being intended to convey troops to the Cape of Good Hope. Commander Francis P. Egerton (1844), having finished a course of study of steam at the factory at Woolwich dockyard, was examined on Friday last by Mr. Trickett, assistant to the chief engineer, and on palling received his certificate. Captain the Lion. Montagu Stopford (1825) has hoisted his broad pendant on board the Trafalgar, 120, at Sheer ness, and taken the temporary commend of the ships at that port in the room of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Geo. Eiliot, C.B. 11,-ar-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, it is said, will be appointed flag efficer at the Nore in about six or seven weeks from this period, when the temporary command of Captain the Hun. M. Stopford will cease. The Cy clops steam-frigate Master-Commander Hoff meister, is order d up from Sheerness to Woolwich, and is expected at this port to-morrow to embark Captain Faddy's aid Captain St. George's companies of the Roy al Artillery, for conveyance to the Cape of Good Hope. This arrangement will give great satisfaction, and save a great deal of time in the embarkation of the companies, and the men will be saved the trouble of re shipping their baggage at Sheerness. The Magicienne, 16, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, is expected at this port every tide from Devonport. She is to be brought round by Mr. Biddlecombe, and will be taken back to Devonport by Mr. Brown, assistant master-attendant at that dockyard, who will take on board the masts and stores required to bring the Barra uouta to Woolwich. _ _ _ Vv The Barracouta, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, is under the shears outside the basin at this port, and her masts and stores have been all taken out. Although a paddle wheel steam-slut p, she is built on similar lines to the Brisk steam•sloop, recently launched here to be fitted with a screw-propeller and engines of 250.horae power, by Scot and Sinclair, at Greenock. The Barracouta is to be fitted with the old engines taken out of the Medea, and of 220 horse power, The Monkey steam-vessel accompanied the Brisk as far as Sr. Helen's, and returned to Woolwich on Fri day afternoon. The new boilers on board the Hydra steam-sloop are of a circular form, 9 feet 10 inches each in diameter, and 16 feet long, and from their perfect construction re markably strong. Teem are five furnaces in each of the two boilers, two below three, and, owing to their shape. there is ample room for the engineers or stokers to pas,. between them when necessary. They also dispense with the steam-chest used in square boilers, which will be a great advantage and bring them considerably under the water-line. They were made at the factory at Wool wich dockyard, from a design originally submitted to the Admiralty by Messrs. John Penn and Son, engineers, Greenwich. DINNER TO MR. FOX AT DERBY- On Saturday the inhabitants of the town of Derby entertained Mr. Fox, their fellow townsman, head of the firm of Fox and Henderson, at a public dinner in honour of hie great achievement, the Crystal Valace. The oc casion must have been a peculiarly gratifying one to that gentleman, to his brother, who is this year. for the third time, Mayor of the borough, and to all his friends, who flocked around him to testify their admiration of his successful labours and their respect for his private cha racter. Mr. Paxton had been specially invited to be present, and came accordingly Mr. Henderson was prevented from attending by his delicate state of hearth. As to the rest of the company, it comprised many of the chief guest's most respected townsmen and friende, and was in all respects a very gratifying muster. About 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner, and Mr. Douglas Fox presided in a manner which did him the utmost credit. Among those present, beeides several of the town and county magistracy, were Mr. Bass, M.P., Mr. Hey worth, M.P., the Right Hon. Edward Strtitt, Mr. Mosley, Mr. J. Cochrane, Mr. Johann. Mr. Cooper, Dr. Wylde, Mr. W. E. Mousley, Mr. Low, and Mr. Crompton. The dinner took place at the Royal Hotel, and was worthy of the occasion. At its close, The CHAIRMAN gave the usual loyal and constitu tional toasts, which were received with great applause. Mr. MOUSLEY then proposed, in highly laudatory terms, the health of the guest of the everting, Mr- Fox , which it is almost unnecessary Wormy was received with the utmost enthusiasm. Mr. Fox said—ln rising to return thanks for the very handsome manner in which you have been pleased to drink my health, I assure you I feel farmore difficulty and embarrassment than I ever experienced at any period during the construction of the Cryi ta i p a l ace . It i s im possible to express my feelings upon this the moat de lightful occasion of my life, when so much more has been said t han is deserved, and so kindly said, in praise of the manner in which the work has been carried out by my good partner, Mr. Henderson, and myself. What ever may have been the weight of care and responsibi lity under which I have lived for the last twelve months, I am amply repaid for it all in the perfect success which has hitherto attended the progres s of the Exhibition, in the approbation expressed by o u r gracious Sove reign, in the kind congratulation of all my friends, and no* in the enthusiastic and heartfelt manner in which the toast has been responded to by this distin guished assembly of my fellow-townsmen.—(Loud cheers.) Before entering on a brief history of the building, I wish to state, that it is to Mr. Paxton's idea of a palace of iron and glass, which it has been my lot to mature and realize, that the public are indebted for the present structure in Hyde park; and that gentleman proudly acknowledges that but for the enlightened views of the Duke of De vonshire, the Lord-Lieutenant of this county, and his Grace's princely expenditure at Chatsworth, the idea of such a building might never have been entertained. In June, 1850, the Royal Commission invited contractors to tender for a building to be erected in Hyde-park, in conformity with plans and specifications prepared by the Building Committee. The building, which was intended to consist principally of brick and iron, with a splendid dome in its centre, was considered of too permanent a nature for subsequent removal, and public opinion to this effect was very generally expressed. In the printed condition of tender issued by the Building Committee the following clause was introdaeed:—" Tenders for methods of construction other than those shown upon the drawings and described in the specifications, will be entertained, but on condition only of their being ac companied by working drawings and specifications, and fully priced bills of quantities.' This invitation to par ties to send in tenders, based not only on the commit tee's plans but upon such other designs as they might wish to submit, induced me to believe that a tender for a build ing of glass and iron, as suggested to me for the first time by Mr. Paxton on the 22d of June, 1850, just 12 months ago, an engraving of which was published in the Illustrated London News on the 6th of July, would meet not only with the approbation of the building committee, but with that of the p,sblic at large; and I therefore went to Birmingham on the 18th of Juue, and put in hand the drawings and specifications upon which our tender to the committee was to be based. On the 2d of July Mr. Cole, having heard of our intention to make an offer for a building of the kind, and feeling strongly that the success of the Exhibition depended upon having an attractive and suitable building, came down to Birmingham at his own suggestion, but with the permission of competent authority, to stimulate us to proceed, and to offer such hints in reference to the requirements of the case as would enable us to make the conception of Mr. Paxton conform strictly to the con dition of tender required by the Commissioners, and therefore most likely to meet with the approbation or the Building Committee; and I am of opinion that to ruts spirited advice we are mainly indebted for ob taining an impregnable locus standi on the merits of our case.—(Loud cheers.) In all this I had the , co-operation of my partner Mr. Henderson, who, feeling with me the value of Mr. Cole's suggestions and the great importance, in the preparation of these draw ings, of conforming as much as possible to the arrange ments adopted by the committee in the plan upon which they had invited tenders, proposed the addition of the transept, in the propriety or which Mr. Paxton, after due consideration, entirely concurred.--(Cheers.) Be fore completing our tender, and with a v i ew t o a more precise appreciation of the magnitude of a building covering 18 acres-1,850 feet long, 408 feet wide, and 64 feet high, irrespective of the arched roof of the tran sept—l walked out one evening into Portland-place; and there setting off the 1,850 feet upon the pavement, found it the same length within a few y ar d s; and then, considering that the building would be three times the width of that fine street, and the nave as high as the houses on either side, I had presented to my mind a pretty good idea of what we were about to undertake, and I confess that I considered the difficulties to be sur mounted in constructing that great palace were of no ordinary kind; but feeling confident that with great energy, good arrangements, and a hearty cooperation on the part of our extensive andwell-disciplin e d staff it might be accomplished, and that upon it depended, in all proba bility, the success of the Exhibition, we determined to un dertake the responsibility; and the opening on the let of May has proved the correctness of our conclusions. —(Laud cheers.) The plans and specifications prepared by us in great haste were submitted to the Commissioners, together with a tender, on the 10th of July; but though sufficient to enable us to bring the subject before them, and to convey to their minds an idea of what we pro posed to erect, they were necessarily very incomplete, and did not contain either sufficient architectural or me chanical detail to admit of their being used in the execu tion of the works. The arched root' was afterwards added to the design, and submitted to the Commissioners on the 15th of July, with the view of getting over a difficulty which existed in consequence of the elm trees being too tall to be covered by the flat roof proposed by Mr. Paxton. For the expense attending the addition of the arched roof to the transept, Fox, Henderson, and Co. did not increase the amount of their former tender, and it was consequently executed at their sole expense. —(Cheers.) The Building Committee, ha v i ng had the matter under their consideration from the 15th to the 26th of July, resolved unanimously to - recommend the Commissioners to accept our offer for the building, and nothing could be more disinterested than their conduct in setting aside the drawings and specifications which, with much labour, they had prepared, and adopt ing others, which, though laid before thorn in so imper fect a state, presented to their minds, as experienced engineers and architects, the mode of constructing a building of iron and glass better fitted for the purposes of the Exhibition.—(Cheers.) On the recommendation of the Building Committee the Commissioners on the 26th of July were pleased to signify their wish for us to construct the building, but were met by a difficulty which threatened to postpone for a year, if not to put an end, to the Exhibition altogether. The Solicitor to the Treasury gave as his opinion that until the Commis sioners bad obtained a royal charter they could not legally proceed, and were therefore not in a position to give an order to any one. These circumstances were explained to us by Lord Granville on the 26th of July, in the presence of the Commissioners, who at the same time told us that it was their fixed intention to apply to Government for the charter, and that be had every rea son to believe it would be granted, and having informed us that as soon as they were a legally constituted body they would probably conclude a contract with Fox, Hen derson, and Co., finished by asking, whether under these circumstances we should consider it running too great a risk to enter at once Upon the execution of the work, as, otherwise, many weeks would unavoidably be lost, and the chance of open ing the Exhibition on the Ist of May placed beyond possibility. In reply to his Lordship's inquiry, seeing the imperative necessity for immediate action, and desiring to render all the assistance in our power in f u rtherance of the important object of the Exhibition, we expressed our willingness to run the risk, whatever it might be, and without waiting for the charter com menced at once the drawings and the necessary opera tions for the erection of the building.—(Loud cheers.) As the time for the execution of the building was so ex tremely limited, and being well aware frem experience that when matters of business bad to be decided by a committee composed of many persons much valuable time was generally wasted, we requested the Commis sioners, inst. ad of referring us to the Building Com mittee, to select one of its members—either the chair man, Mr. Cubitt, President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Mr. Robert Stephenson, or Mr. Brunel— and give him absolute power to settle with us finally all matters connected with the arduous task we were then willing to enter upon. The Commissionere, op. preciating thd importance of this request, appointed Mr. Cubitt to fill this office. It was now that I commenced the laborious work of deciding upon the proportions and strengths required in every part of this great and novel structure, so as to insure that perfect safety essen tial in a building destined to receive millions of human beings—one so entirely without precedent, and where mistakes might have led to the most serious disasters. Having satisfied myself on these necessary points, I set to work and made every important drawing of the build ing, as it now stands, with my own hand; and it was no small source of gratification to me, wh en as king Mr. Cubitt to look over the drawings I had prepared, to find that he not only had no desire to suggest alterations, but expressed his entire approbation of them all. The Com missioners having carefully considered the merits of the various sites proposed for the Exhibition, among which may be named Leicester-square, Somerset-house, Trafalgar-square. the Isle of Dogs, Battersea fields, and Regent's. park—(Latighter)—selected, after the most careful consideration, a portion of Hyde-park, situate between the Serpentine River and the Queen's drive, and gave us possession of the ground on the 30th of July, when we proceeded to take the necessary levels and surveys, and to set o u t w ith great prec i s i on t h e po sition of the various parts of the budding. The draw ings occupied me about eighteen hours each day for seven weeks, and as they went f rom my h an d Mr. Henderson immediate!) , prepared the ironwork and other materials required in the construction o f th e b u il d i ng. As the drawings proceeded the calculations of strength were made, and as soon as a number of the important parts were prepared, such as the cast iroa girders and wrought iron trusses, we invited Mr. Cubitt to pay a visit to our works at Birmingham to witness a set of experiments in proof of the correctness of these calculations. We first placed upon each part the greatest load it could ever in practice receive, and proceeded to show that above four times that load was required before fracture would oc cur. These proofs were made on the 6th of September, when Mr. Cubitt was pleased to state that he never wit nessed a set of experiments, of a more conclusive nature. Being thus satisfied by actual experiment that the pro portions of the various parts of the building were such as to insure perfect stability and safety, the preparations of the ironwork and other materials were pushed for ward with the greatest vigour, and large deliveries were made in the park within the next three weeks; so that on the 26th of September we were enabled to fix the first column in its place. From this time I took the general management of the building under my charge, and spent all my time upon the works—feeling that, unless the same person who had made the drawings was always present to assign to each part as it arrived upon the ground its proper position in the structure, it would be impossible to finish the building in time to insure the opening on the Ist of May; and I am confident that if any other course had been taken, or if, as is usual in the construction of large buildings, the drawings had been prepared by an architect and the works exe cuted by a contractor, instead of, as in the present case, these separate functions being combined by my making the drawings and then superintending the execution of the work, a building of such vast dimensions could not have been completed within a period considered by ex perienced persons as altogether inadequate for the pur pose.—(Cheers.) The erection of the building, now fairly commenced, was pushed forward with all possible speed, and a good notion of the amount of work may be obtained from the fact that at one period we fixed as much ironwork every day as would be required in a roof of extent equal to the passenger station of this town, which is one of the largest in the kingdom.—(Cheers,) It was not until the 31st of October that the contract with the Commissioners was completed, up to which time we not only had received no order for the building, and no payment on account of the work we had done, but we had run the risk of expending upwards of 50,0001. with out being in a legal position to call upon the Commis sioners for any portion of the sum we had so expended; and such was the appreciation of oar conduct in this mat ter, that Lord Granville was pleased, in the presence of the other members of the Commission, to state, on the 16th November, that they were of opinion that but for the courage evinced by Fox, Henderson, and Co., in commencing he work without any order from the Com missioners, the Exhibition of Industry of All Nations would never have taken place.—(Cheers.) Perhaps the most difficult and hazardous, and certainly the most in teresting portion of the work, was raising the sixteen ribs of the transept to their places. A month was the shortest time assigned by any one for this operation. We commenced on the 4th of December, and succeeded in.raising two in the course of that day. Two mote were safely deposited in their places in the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert on the following day. and the last pair on December 12 ; so that the sixteen ribs were all placed in e i g ht wor ki ng d a y s . A s th e building progressed I was assailed on all sides, not only by unprofessional persons, but by men of high scientific attainments, who, notwithstanding the careful calcula tions which had been made, and the satisfactory proofs to which all the important parts were individually sub• jetted, as soon as these parts were put togeth,r and pro duced a structure of unparalleled lightness, doubted the possibility of the building possessing, as a whole, that strength which was necessary to make it safe against the many trying influences to which it must necessarily be subjected. (Mr. Fox, having entertained the company with a very amusing resunil of all the sinister predictions and "airy prophecies" which had been indulged in, with reference to the bui;ding, at the Institution of Civil Engineers and elsewhere, proceeded to say):—" Before concluding . per mit me to present my thanks to Mr. Barry for his nave !liable improvement in the architectural beauty of the building; to Mr. 0 wenjonei for his many beautiful de signs for the embellishment of the building, and to whose taste in decorative art is owing that splendid appearance which has charmed the eye of every spectator; to Messrs. Cochrane and Co. and Mr. Jobson, for the ener getic manner in which they prepared the castings; to Messrs. Dowson and Co., for their promptitude in deli vering the timber; and to Mr. John Cochrane and al persons in our employ connected with the work for their willing services, so indispensable in carrying out a con tract of such unexampled magnitude.—(Cheers.) When the Royal Commissioners confided to us the construction of the building for the Exhibition of Industry of All Na tions, I felt that in some degree the credit of England was in our hands—that we had it in our power to achieve that which would prove eminently successful, or in failing to do so would be a source of the most serious disappointment and disgrace, and that we were therefore bound by considerations of no ordinary kind to exert every effort in our power to carry the work to completion in the shortest possible time and at any per sonal sacrifice, and without regarding the question of expense, the more especially as his Royal Highness Prince Albert-bad invited the world to this great festi val on the Ist of May; and it was essential, as a point of national honour, that this vast edifice should be ready for the receteion of his guests.—(Cheers.) I need not remind you that we completed the contracts, and that our beloved Sovereign presided at the inauguration on the day which had been originally appointed.—(Loud cheers.) I feel a peculiar pleasure in having carried out this great undertaking in the consideration that . it is not a temple in which the representatives of nations will meet together for the purpose of adjust ing matters of strife or questions of warfare, but one in which the Prince has invited all the family of. man to assemble in harmony and good fellowship, and where juries, composed of distinguished foreigners and Englishmen, meet together as friends, to decide upon the comparative merits of those beautiful objects of art and manufactures which are the happy results of peaceful commercial emulation.—(Cheers.) Again thanking you for the honour you have this day conferred upon me, the recollection of which will never be effaced from my memory, and also for the kind patience with which you have listened to my remarks, I conclude by wishing you the long enjoyment of health and of that happi ness and prosperity which are fast spreading over the world and which the people of Derby have ever been among the foremost to advance.—(Loud cheers.) The next toast given was the health of Mr. Paxton, which was proposed in highly complimentary terms by the Mayor. Mr. PexTori returned thanks at some length, and in the course of his observations alluded to the unexpected risk which the Crystal Palace had run from the recent balloon ascent. Had the unfortunate aeronauts been arrested in their progress by the arched roof of the transept, they would, he feared, have met with a cutting reception. _ _ _ Kgreat variety of toasts followed, and the company separated, highly delighted with the opportunity afforded them of testifying their admiration for the character and the talents of their now distinguished townsman. THE WAR MEDAL BANQUET TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF RICHMOND. On Saturday night, the banquet given by the war officers, subscribers to the testimonial to be presented to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, in token of the high and grateful sense entertained by them of his Grace's un tiring and successful exertions on their behalf, to:ik place at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. The day was the 38th anniversary of the battle of Vittoria. The chair was taken by Lieut.-General the Right Hon. Lord Saltoun, K.C.8., G,C.H.; and the vice-chair by Admiral Sir Graham Eden Hamond, Bart., K.C.B.

Most of the guests were in uniform, and wore a number of crosses and decorations, indicating the length and variety of the services upon which they had been en gaged. The character o f the company generally was that of old and war-wern veterans, who had done good service " by flood and field," and the assemblage of up wards of two hundred of the most distinguished navel and military warriors of the day was not the least inter esting feature of the proceedings. In the gallery were a large number of ladies, amorg whom we observed the Duchess of Richmond and a large party of fashionables. After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN said—lt is very gratifying to see th e great body of veteran warriors assembled here for the p u rpose of doing honour to one of our cloth, because, al though his Grace the Duke of Richmond—(Tremendous cheering for some minutes)—has for some time left the regular service of the country, he has done us the honour of appearing here in the ordinary military uniform of the country—the militia.—(Loud cheers.) I have no hesitation in saying that his Grace is as gallant, and as good, and as straightforward a soldier as any a mongst you.—(Loud cheerin g,) Gentlemen, it fe ll to his Grace's lot to go out Very young to the Peninsula, and 18 OF YOIJTH DR.

THUNDERSTORM AT MANCHESTER. —A storm of thunde-, not of long continuance, but of great violence while it lasted, broke over Manchester and the neighbourhood on Saturday evening about eight o'clock. The day was exceed ingly close and sultry throughout, but was quits free from rain, with the exception of one shower, until half-past seven o'clock, when heavy clouds rose from the south-west horizon, and thunder began to mutter in that direction. For some time lightning flickered in the sky without any thunder or rain, but at about ten minutes past eight the latter began to descend in torrents, driven by a fierce wind which rose sud denly, until it assumed the character of a thick rising mist or alight sheet of water, and the lightning spread itself over the whole concave above, so that it was no stretch of the imagination to believe that there was a huge conflagration in the vicinity. The thunder was not particularly loud, but it was continuous (more so than the lightning, though it scarcely intermitted its flashes), and combining its roll with the noise of the wind and the falling rain, for a full quarter of an hour there was one unbroken and terrible sound. This elemental warfare continued to rage with terrific violence for nearly half an honr, when it gradually cleared away. MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mille discount, according to the new tariff, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25 01; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.021, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham burgh the price of gold is 425 per mark, which, at the Eng lish Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.41; and the exchange at Ham- burgh on London at short bein g 13.4, it follows that gold New Yorku r o g n h L t o h n a d n o ni nfor L b o i n l l d s o a n t . 60 days' sight is 110 i p er cent., and the p ar of exchan g e T is h o e M c 6 ou p rs e e r between England and Am erica bein g 109 23-40 p er cent., it follows that the exchange i s nominall y 0.92 p er cent. in o c f e e n x t. c h dear san g e r a t n favour of England; and after making allowance for differ ence of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a :profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

He threw up all rho adventsgee of staff service, which we fellows know are very great (Roars of laughter)—end took his part as captain of the 521.—(Loud cries of "Bravo.") In the battle of Orthes, I regret to say, he received so severe a wound that ee suffered from it for some time, but it did not stop his gallium, career, because I had the honour to see him come into my quarters at flougeumont at the battle of Water loo, and no man has cone through more brilliant ser vices, which I might dilste upon, if we were not met fur another purpose; but I may say that every one hailed him as a fellow soldier and a gallant brother in arms.— not for r a n c cause againsts e which upon w e a all a (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, as I belong to the light in fantry s erv i ce , I bate to be long.—(Great laughter and cheers.) His career as a soldier having pass ed to the satisfaction o f a ll, I come to his career as a statesman, to which we are muc h more i n d e bt e d as regards the pur poseeg stronger , o n: tic e ag t sei h ro e nn 2rsea.n againstt ‘ h N 'aetc,afindsstt strung i nn m gg aGGd Govern ment, vvo Govern ment—the rr a nn t : m ulent—the D u k e o f Wellington—(Great l aug h ter an d - i cheers)—and, moreover, we find him successfully so em ployed, and every person who listens to me this night bears on his person the medal for which the Duke of Richmond so ably contended—(Great applause)—end mem at an earlier which, if he had had his ow n good will, we should pro bably have been assembled to'ciona orate period. Be that as it may, we are t oo h appy to have t hi s opportunity of thanking him for the serv i ces he has ren dered us, and most happy to see him h ere . — (Cheers.) The next thing is, I am commissioned by y ou, gentle men, to present to his Grace this testimonial, whi c h h as been subscribed to not only by you, but I am happy -to say by a vast number of the soldiers of the British army.—(Loud chem.) I have now, said the Noble Chairman (turning to the Duke of Richmond), th e greateet satisfaction in presenting to your Grace this testimonial of the affectionate esteem and respect of your fellow-soldiers.—(Enthusiastic cheering for some minutes.) The testimonial, which is as yet unfinished, some of the figures in relief being at present represented by plaster models, was then displayed. It was placed on a triangular pedestal of ebony in a recess behind the chairman. The whole is to be completed by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, in solid silver, the value of the plate being somewhere about 1,500 guineas. An apology was made by the firm for presenting it in an incomplete state, but we understand that it will be completed by the 4th of August. The following is the description of the testimonial: — On the summit of a quadrangular pedestal is an allego rical group, representing his Grace the Duke of Rich mond directing the attention of Britannia to the merits of her military and naval powers. His Grace is repre sented in the centre, in the costume of a peer of the realm, and has in his left hand the memorial to her Ntajesty, while with his right he directs the attention of Britannia to the figures of Mara and Neptune, the repre sentatives of military and naval prowess, and in the hand of Britannia is the war medal which she is about to dis tributs. At the angles of the pedestal are grouped mili tary and naval trophies, between which are panels containing the inscription, which is to be as follows: " Presented on the thirty-eighth anniversary of the battle of Vittoria to his Grate the Duke of Richmond, K.G., by the recipients of the war medal, in grateful remembrance of his long and unwearied exertions in their behalf, as a token of admiration and esteem from his humbler brethren in arms, who successfully aided in defending their highland home throughout a long aid arduous war, in which they gained a series of resplen dent victories that led to the capture of Paris, Madrid, and Washington, and finally led to an honourable and lasting peace." Second, the interview of his Grace with her Msjesty in relief; third and fourth, the names of the engagements in which the troops were engaged to whom medals had been given. On the base are four groups, viz., two naval, consisting of marines, sailors and buys; and two mileury, the first consisting of a light dragoon dismounted, light infantryman, a rifleman, a British grenadier, and a hussar mounted; the second, of a royal horse artillery man mounted, a foot artilleryman, a soldier of the line, Highlander, and a heavy dragoon dismounted; the attitudes selected in these compositions being those of applause for the action of the Duke portrayed on the summit. Between each group are panels, containing the arms, and the lower base is empanelled with ts o military snd two naval subjects—viz., the battles of Vittoria and Orthes, and those of the Nile and Trafalgar, which are placed beneath the appropriate groups. The testimonial stands about four feet high, and will be executed in dead and burnished silver, iu the highly finished sat le of art for which the firm of Hunt and Haskell is so dis tinguished. The Duke of RICHMOND rose, and was received with renewed cheering. He said—My Lord Seltoun, I beg to assure you that I feel the difficulty of the task which your kindness and that of my old companions in arms in the naval and military service has imposed upon me. an happy to say that with every arm of that service which has imposed upon me the difficult task of ado. quately returning and acknowledging the feelings of my heart, not only for the manner in which you have re ceived me on the present occasion, but for the tplendid and magnificent testimonial of your personal good aid towards me—l am happy to say, that in early life I was acquainted with many of those whom I now have the honour to see around me, and that I always regarded them as friends and brothers.—(Great applause.) I trust, my Lords and Gentlemen, that this splendid tes timonial will descend to my children's children, and that it will be an additional reason to them to take advan :age of their position—to undergo the privations and fatigues and to share the dangers of their fellow-sub jects.—(Cheers.) I hope and trust, too, Gentlemen, that they will not forget the important services which the army and navy of this country have on all occasions rendered; and I hope that it will be an inducement to them to take cure that the heroic deeds of times of war are not to be laid aside and forgotten in periods of peace. Gentleman, my humble services in obtaining your just claims have been, by my Noble Friend, somewhat overrated.—(Cries of " No, no.") Gentlemen, you well know the kind and feeling heart of our most gracious Sovereign Lady the Queen.—(Tre mendous cheering.) I am aware of the deep anxiety which her Majesty, from the period of her accession up to the present moment, had evinced in doing justice and in promoting the happiness of all classes of her subjects. —(renewed cheering.) Gentlemen, I felt certain that it was impossible but that a Queen of England would feel a deep debt of gratitude to those brave and heroic men, who, devoting themselves to the profession of arms, both by sea and land, have promoted the peace which has so long continued, and maintained her Ma jesty's illustrious family, and herself on the throne of these her realms, and have gained forher, too, the proud) appellation of the Queen of the Seas.—(Much cheering.) They have placed the empire of England in the fist rank of the ruling nations of the world. It was for these reasons that I felt that if an appeal was really and honestly made to the throne, and if her Majesty had ad visers worthy to be the advisers of the Crown, that ap peal could not be refused.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I feel deeply grateful to my Lord John Russell and his colleagues fur having, after a former Administration had refused it, recommended to her Majesty to grant the just request of the memorial which I had the honour to present.—(Loud cheers.) Politically opposed as lam to Lord John Russell and the present Cabinet. I must say to the old war officers here present, that I never saw any individual more anxious than he was that your just claims should be carried out.—(Applause.) Gentlemen, don't for a moment suppose that there is the slightest spark of ingratitude in anything I am about to say; but I am about to tell you, my old broher officers of the two services, the feelings of my heart or the present occasion.—(Hear.) I deeply regret that t this measure was not extended much f u rther thanit been. I never could understand the reason why hh the officers of her Majesty's navy, who iu singlehshieirp action ii ves -in capturing privateers at the hazard of in defending our convoys, or in their heroic and haz end. ous achievements of cutting out vessels in boats from the muzzles of well-trained and well-manned guns mein hero ism, batteries, displaying a ch ivalr y and permit to say, which few bu t British seamen could ever be found even endeavouring to a ttempt—l_ never could un derstand .why these bra ve men, and the gallant splri.a the officers, non.c,mmissioned officers, and privates, wh o in every part of the world maintain th glory of olr arms, should be debarred from participating in the lu wards they had so ju stl y earned. I ask, w hy should any difference be made between the advattled and the rear guards, between skirmishes usually preceding our greatest victories, when many were struck down by the bullets of the enemy and carried to tt • general hospital in the rear, and thereby prevet ted from sharing a few days afterwards in the glories of the general battle—l ask why should they not bear on their breasts the proof that they had been in personal conflict with the enemy, an d cleared the way tor their more fortunate fellows, thereby doing good service to their Sovereign and their country?—(Cheers.) I babe made these remarks at the hazard of trespassing too hog upon you, because I feel that you will think th e li g ht infantry soldier sh ou ld b e very quick in his movemen , s. —(Great laughter.) Nevertheless I do deeply regret, gentlemen, that it did not happen that these medals were given 801310 fifteen or twenty years since.—( Hear, hear.) There is not a single individual whom I have . eo . w the honour of addressing, who cannot call to his mi t nd some of the best and bravest men of all grades theinn es 3 fesions, who now lie cold in perhaps, by privaions, and totheir which Shehierargtrsavnoi hp wear;ng the testimoniai t they were entitled, gladdest h wstoePnre?. d " and their country's gra titude.—(Loudof their Sovereign's approbationchers.)The services which upon the present occasion you represent have placed in every clime in which it has been your destiny to serve, both by sea and land, lasting memorials to the honour, and glory, r enown of the British arm s, which probably have annedverrean exceeded.—(Great applause.) You have de fended the standard of England at all hazards, and have left it to your successors untarnished by the slightest stain. May that flag never !List over the quarter. deck of a man-of-war, or be unfurled in battle on the ensan guined field of war, save for the maintenance of the honour of your Sovereign, the independence of your country, and the protection of the wokk and oppressed of all us- ta re te..• ticts.,..—(rfetbetctous etleerfli g Tour ineeerso . ri board ruen•of-war will, I have no doubt, emulate that brave deeds of your presdceessoys, sod they will in dan ger's hour remember that they have the honour of co fending that Elsg under which Nelson and your great naval heroes so invariably triumphed ; end I hope the soldiers will never forget that to their charge is confided those c. - Ilotirs under which a Wellington, an Abercrom bie. and a Moore so constantly led the way to victory. —(Loud' cheers.) In the name of the recipients of the war medal ; and on my own behalf, I can , only say that I feel deeply grateful to her Majesty fur the favour we have all reccived,—(Great ppplause.) I feel prowd, gentlemen, in wearing this medal, because it enables me to address you as one of your old comrades.—(Applause.) I will not detain you further than to say that I beg 'on to receive the most heartfelt acknowledgments of a grateful heart, and the best thanks of an old veteran cheers.) Several other toasts were then given, and the meeting adjourned. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. On Scurdey the Qaeen and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wal es and Trine,' A,fied, visited the Exbi hition, accenipanied by the ling of the Belgians, the Duke of Branant. the Count of Flanders, and the Princess eyal of Belgium. The royal visitors were attended by Cienerel Wen 3 3 . 8 ., Lady Cannin g , an d were received Colonel Bauverie. and eived by Colonel Reid, Colonel Lloyd, Mr. Dilke, and Mr. Cole, of the Exectee live Committee (with Mr. Edgar Bowring, tatting scree tary of tee Commission), tied by Mr. Mayne, chief com missiocer of pace. They entered by the door at the western end (English nave), first n exanin ai g the colos; al statue of Richard Cce a r. de Lion. The royal party then walked down the English nave, where they sa w the lighthouse light, which had been illumined by special order of the Executive, arid which exhibited a bri4iant blaze; and they subsequently proceed e d to inspect the department of leather, comprising four com partments—aud that of cotton (including five), t ogether with the two large compartments of carriages and vehicles, which lie at the back of those two sections of the building. Their Majesties arrived about half-past nine, and were occupied until past eleven, when they made their exit by the door at which they had entered. The Duke de Nemours joined the Royal party for a short time, but left them before eleven, to meet the Duchess of Kent, who was in the machinery department; and he afterwards accompanied thetQueen of the French, who arrived between eleven and twelve, attended by General Dumas, and who was received by Mr. Dilke on the part of the exrcutive, and by M. Sallandrouze, the Preach commissioner. Her Majesty went into the fo reign gallery, where she inspected the compartments of Switzerland (having on a previous occasion examined those of F ranca ) , an d th e n walked round the transept gallery, ins pecting the shawls of Norwioh and the mixed fabrics of Paisley. Thence her Majesty went down the main avenue of the English gallery, examining the laces of Nottingham, and the profusion of gold and silver plate. Her Majesty afterwards went round the western end, and walked down the north gal lery, and round the transept, inspecting the glass, the china, and the porcelain. Entering the north foreign gallery, her Majesty looked at the beautiful wax work, and, descending the first staircase, departed be tween two and three o'clock. H er Majesty had brought with her the two infant children of the Due de Nemours; and immediately on her arrival she bad met the Duchess of Kent. Throughout her visit she was accompanied ,b y Mr. Dilke, who went to receive her immediately after the Queen and the King of the Belgians had departed. The Duchess of Kent was attended, in the machine com partment, by Mr. Ilensman, the superintendent. The Princess Royal and the Princess Louisa also visited this compartment, and were attended by Mr. Biddell, as sistant-superintendent. We may here mention, that Mr. Nasmyth, civil engi neer, who, as we have formerly stated, attends parties to give explanations of the machinery, was busily engaged throughout the day. Among those present in the Exhi bition befbre the doors were opened to the public (at twelve o'clock), were the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord John Russell. In the course of the day we ob served the Earl of Carlise, Earl of Morton, Earl of Bes borough, Lord Stanley, Lord Listowel, Lord Trinaleston, Lord Carberry, Lord Delamere, the Countess of Erne, the Countess of Waldegrave, the Marquis of Douro, Lord Maidstoi , e, Lady Alice Peel, Lord Colville, Sir P. Siait land, Miss Burdett Coutoi, Lady Grenville, Laity Dwarris, Lady Clifford, Lady Cranworth, and Sir G. Grey. The day was exceedingly warm, and the heat was in deed extreme—the thermometer having been, early in the morning, 84 in the shade. It may be attributed to this cause, and to its being cooler out of doors than in, that the arrivals were comparatively limited, and that the departures were rather early. The entire number of visitors did not much exceed twelve or thirteen thou sand, and by five o'clock they wero leaving rapidly, and arrivals had almost ceased. Saturday is of course more a season ti• ket day than any other, and those who pay 51. for the pleasure of having a quiet and uninterrupted enjoyment of the Exhibition arrive early. There were a great many persons assembled at the doors before the hour of opf ning, and a large number of invalids in Bath chairs had (as usual) been admitted before that time. We have mentioned more than once that the foreign compartments are constantly improving; this is f quietly true of the Indian. Both on the north and south side the comoartments of India (to which it might have been imagined that nothing could be added) have advanced, are advancing, and will continuo to advance in tiveness. Ou the south side are the lioudahs" and other elegant equipages (lheady amply described); and in the pavilion on the north sidrf is placed the massive and magnificent ivory throne. Sir G. Grey and a large party visited this pavilion on Saturday, uttended by Mr. Downing, the intelligent acting superintendent of the deportment. The netipts during the day were— For season tiekets At the doors £33 12 0 1,674 10 0 Total receipts COURT CIRCULAR.

A RUNAWAY BANKRUPT. —On Saturday a warrant was issued by Mr. Commissioner flolroyd, and placed in hands of Mr. Ili i.2.ht, the messenger, for the apprehension of a bankrupt named Martin, late of Lewes, Sussex, draper. It appears Martin carried on business in, the High-street, Lewes, and to far back as December last established a shop at Jersey. His practice was to obtain large parcels of goods from the London warehouses on credit, and as s .on as they came into his possession at Lewes be sent them in a col 15r from Shoreham to Jersey, where they were disposed of by forced sa les. Property to the extent of 3,0001. was thus cot rid of, and about 700/. more removed from Lewes to The the Old Ship, Brighton, before the bankrupt decamp ed. e dence shows thnt he went to the last Derby, where not being unknown he made heavy bets, which he lost, and the next day proceeded to Liverpool and sailed for America itt the Pacific. The property at Brighton has been seized. The Duke of Rutland has embarked on board bit Grace's sebooner-yacht, the Resolution, on a cruise off the French coa4t. His Grace will continue his aquatic trips until the first Week in August.
