Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at an early hour to pay a visit of congratulation to her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert. Her Royal Highness afterwards returned to Progmore. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess ir Orleans, accompanied by the Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres, and the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, accompanied by the Princess Marguerite, the Duke d'Aleacon, and the Count d'Eu, arrived at half past one o'clock at the Castle, and partook of luncheon with the Queen and the Prince. At three o'clock a performance by Monsieur and Madame Robin took place in the Throne-room, where a temporary stage bad been erected. Her Mljesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, with their Royal Highnesses the Princess Alice, the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princesses Helena and Louisa, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess d'Orleans, and the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, with the Count de Paris, the Duke de Chartres, the Princess Margue rite, the Duke d'Alencon, and the Count d'Eu, entered the Throne-room.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess d'Orleans and the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, accompanied by the Count de Paris, the Duke de Chartres, the Prin cess Marguerite, the Duke d'Alen9on, and the Count d'Eu, left the Castle shortly before five o'clock, re turning to Claremont and Esher. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent re turned to Frogmore. The Queen walked this morning in the Slopes and Home Park, and the Royal Family took their usual airings. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Hon. Alexander Gordon, rode out on horseback this forenoon. The Royal dinner circle this evening included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Fanny Howard, Baroness de Speth, Lady Caroline and Miss Barrington, Major-General and Lady Isabella Wemyss, Lieut.- Colonel Hon. C. B. and Mrs. Phipps, Lieut.-Colonel F. H. and Lady Emily Seymour, and Sir George Cooper. The band of the Grenadier Guards was in attend ance during dinner. Her Majesty's private band afterwards attended and performed the following selection : , MISS AI/GUSTA An order made by the Lord Chancellor on Wednes day conclude:, as far as ,the public are concerned, the short but eventful history of Miss Aueitate Talbot. The young* lady will for the future be secured against the maaceuvres of Dr. Wiserean'm satellites by the protecting hand of a husband. Her "wordily advantages " can no longer be turned into the instrument of htr permanent misery. The bait, indeed, retains its attractions, -but henceforth it is so carefully guarded as to render any attack unavailing, no mutter with what statute loess contrived or with what endamtv carried out. We cannot, however, dismiss the subject without adverting once more to a few of its more prominent features as illustrative of the policy - of the Routan eccle siastics. They so seldom suffer a corner of the veil be -hind which their intrigues are carried on to be lifted even for a moment, that we must not let the precious occasion slip by unimproved. It is curious enough to think that whilst so many millions of us are toiling away day and night in a glass house and court ing publicity in all our acts, a small section of spiri tual partisans is carrying on a stealthy warfare against the weakness and timidity of the weakest and most timid among us. While we are working they are plotting;—what we have sown they will reap, unless order be taken in the matter. Oar main object, however, in once more recurring to this story is this. Miss Talbot, indeed, is safe. We will not say that she has escaped, but she has been literally wrested from the hands of the Roman priests. In her case the three greatest powers in England—the House of Commons, the Courts of Law, and the public press, advanced to the rescue. Subterfuge and falsehood were in vain. Had any resistance been made, the Roman ecclesiastics im mediately concerned, and probably others besides, would have been swept away like chaff before a torrent. They consented reluctantly enough to lot their victim loose. Still she was produced, and before irreparable damage had been done. But how often is it that so many fortunate circumstances will unite as in this instance of Miss Talbot? The name she bore, the very amount of her " worldly advantages," her near connexion with persons who were able and willing to bring her case before the Commons—are not incidents of ordinary occurrence. Then, again, public feeling had already been strained to a high pitch by the recent in vasion of the Queen's prerogative. The House was sitting; the Chancellor, if not very eager in the mat ter, was at least in such a position that he could not but investigate it in open court; the public press was peculiarly disposed to invite attention to the progress of the story. Hundreds upon hundreds of cases have, no doubt, occurred which precisely re semble that of Miss Talbot in all particulars but the amount of her fortune; and other Doyles and Hendrens have secured the victims and harvested the golden nrizes with impunity. We repeat it , unless - order be t taken in the matter by those whose duty it is to see proper securities introduced into the statute-book, such cases will occur again and again; therefore it is we feel ourselves compelled once more to call attention to the leading features of this individual case. The more deliberately we reflect upon this story, and with all the additional light which has been thrown around it by the investigation before the Chancellor, the less reason we see to doubt the correctness of the views Which we had taken of it from the first. The Chancel lor's judgment—not a very willing judgment, we take it—blew all Mr. Bolt's aspersions against Mr. Craven Berkeley to the four winds. It remains clear that even in Lord Truro's view the conduct of Dr. Doyle was of a very dubious nature, and such as to provoke very se vere animadversion from the Court. What are the facts iu brief? First, we find that Dr. Doyle obtained unlimited influence over the late Mr. Talbot, previously to and at the time of his decease, and thus procured his own nomination to the office of guardian over his infant children. All this will be found set forth in eatenso in a letter which appeared in our columns from a gen tleman who was brother to the late Mrs. Berkeley, and consequently is uncle to Miss Talbot. After a little preliminary squabbling with Mrs. Berkeley, during the short time that intervened between her first husband's death and her own, Dr. Pyle, by way of fulfilling his trust, placed his young ward, then about ten years of age, in a convent in the West of England, where she etas sedulously trained for nine years, or thereabouts, to habits of conventual submission and obedience. At the end of this period she was brought out into the world for twelve necks, and towards the conclusion of this short hiatus in her conventual career we find the young lady engaged in writing an " earnestly supplicatiog" letter to our estimable cor respondent, Dr. Hendren. She asks his worshipful permission to be allowed to qualify herself for pro fession. Dr. Hendren writes to 6* dissuade" her, and the effect of his dissuasion is so potential that three months after quitting the convent we find the young lady once more secure in it in the formal character—of a postulant, boasts Dr. Hendren; of a non-postulant, writes poor Miss Talbot, mystified herself'; of a non "nothing about nothing," D ar k postulant postulant sighs o ut the ex p lanator y Superior. ir.Dnoawys justle all t s h o e m w u h e i h le a k s n m o way serve him to trump up as colourable story, but ignores every particular which might involve him in trouble with the Chancellor. Lot it be remembered all this while that Miss Augusta Talbot is entitled, on attaining her majority, to the sum of 85,0001.—that when the curtain draws up on her ap pearance in the drama we see her sitting in a parlour of the Taunton convent, between the mild, seraphic Jer ningham and poor Mr. Berkeley. These being the dramatis persona, the subject of their dialogue is the profession of nuns in general, and Miss Talbot's profes sion in particular. The trio discourse about white veils and black veils, and how Miss Talbot is to dispose of her property after profession. The young lady speaks as she has been tutored; poor Mr. Berkeley throws in a word or two of common sense en pure perte, and Jer ningham contributes a few timely shrugs and judicious winks. The result is, that Mr. Berkeley rushes up to town and prepares a petition to the Commons , begging the assistance of their Hon. House against a parcel of rascals, male and female, who are engaged in an attempt at kidnapping his niece. The Lord Chancellor admitted afterwards that he was very much in the right. We must be pardoned for mentioning at this point our:own share in the matter, as it proved the means of indticing honest Dr. Hendren to interrupt for a few hours his ministrations at the altar of truth. As an an swer to a few comments we offered upon Mr. Berkeley's petition, that estimable divine rushed to the rescue, re buking us for our attempt to interfere between the R, man ecclesiastics and their anticipated spoil. Poor Dr.. Hendren! his only fault was that of other great men—he was before his time. He should have waited a few months longer, and have reserved the Tridentine Canons to justify the realised, not the anticipated gains. The result, however, of the whole story is this—what one Roman Catholic bishop denies upon oath another soleemly affirms in a letter to a public journal. How ever Dr. Doyle may escape out of this dilemma, it is clear that he placed or left his ward in a position in which her property would of necessity have been em bezzled but for the operation of the forces which were brought to bear against the contrivers of the plot. No one can be silly enough to place one jot of reliance upon the trumpery subterfuges about Miss Talbot's enema lousposition at the nunnery. All this was merely the wriggling of the scotched snake. The best comment upon Dr. Doyle's conduct is to be found in the Chancel lor's. judgment—a judgment which, however correct in its premises, did not particularly shine in point of prac tical inference. Dr. Doyle's conduct was denounced tobe highly re prehensible. Lord Truro declared that he would take right good care, during the short time that was to intervene between Miss Talbot's escape from the nun nery and her majority, that none of the crew shouldget round her again. The result of her removal from bad influence is at once discernible in the announcement of her approaching marriage. We very heartily congra tulate the young lady upon the event. Wo trust that she May have many years of happini 83 before her, and may so profit by past experience as to beware in future of such unscrupulous advisers as the ecclesiastics of her own Church. Meanwhile, although Miss Talbot is safe, can no legislative precaution be taken to prevent the re currence of such intrigues as have just been defeated for the future?—rirnes. BRIDE CAKE FOR THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Among the recherche works of art of home conception, to be displayed within the area of the Crystal Palace, is a magnificent brie cake from Mr. Richerd Gunter's es tabliahment, in Blotcemb-street, Relgrave-square, which was on view on Wednesday and Thursday to tie elite of Belgravia, preparatory to its reception in the forthcom ing Exbibicion. In every respect it exceeds any similar prodUctien of the confectionary art hitherto teen in this country, and from the taste and art it displays, cannot fail to gain universal appreciation. It is of admirable proportions, and the cake itself, exclusive of its rich and tasteful ornaments, in pure refined sugar, weighs above 2001bS. The case is sexagonal, three of the six com partments being occupied by bas reliefs, allegorical of the Marriage of Cupid and Pysche, the remaining three being appropriated for the entwined initials and cyphers of the bride and bridegroom. The moulding of the my thological figures are specimens of the highest art, and most creditable to the artist entrusted with the composi tion of the design. The figures and auxiliaries are of pure white sugar, on a ground of light pink the first tableau representing Pysche's first sight of dupid; the secopd, the marriage of Cupid and Pysche iu the pre eence of the Heathen gods and goddesses; and the third, . the triumph of Cupid and Pysche. Between each of the six compartments are two youthful figures in embrace, symbolical cf innocence, above which are two doves, which form a relief to the ornamented edge of the cake. Alternating round the edge are fanciful medallions, each containing an allegory of the career of the celebrated . deity of the ancients, the God of Love; and also shields - for the emblazoned heraldic arms of the contracting couple, and the arms of their respective houses. The .top of the. cake is covered with an exquisite network of ,white sugar, on which rest six vases laden with bouquets of nuptial flowers. From the centre rises a sexegonal :column, with arabesque ornaments, thre projecting sup `ports being a small shield for the crests. The column is etirialounted by a beautiful group of rollicking Cupids, the upper figure astride the shoulders of one of his com panions, supporting a basket overflowing with orange ;blossoms, the everlasting pea, the tube rose, and other flowers emblematical of youth and constancy. The above ':are the principal features in this truly classical design, the elaborate and exquisite decorative parts defying explauaeion in detail. A certain living authoress, on • seeing the cake, declared it to sur p ass the wants of mortals, it was only fit for the gods. ----- POSTPONEMENT OF THE OPENING OF TEE EXEIBI- TioN.—Noiwithstauding the extraordinary exertions now making towards petetiting the necessa'y arrangements for enabling her Majesty to open the Grand Exhibition on the Ist of May, we believe we are correct in stating that imme diately after the Sovereign quits the building the Crystal Palace must unavoidably be closed until the 12th, to enable the interior departnient to be completed for the permanent admission of the public.—British Army Despatch.; RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. 13 BURY AND MORET'ON. _ A meeting of influential persons interested in the district between Banbury, Shipston, and Moreton was held at thubury on id , .'xiday, Lord Duncan in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, it was hoped that a cordial un derstanding. would be brought about between the pro moters of the railway and the owners and occupiers of land through which the proposed line was inteLded to pass. Tie ioter,sts of both parties were identical, and unless the landowners and occupiers in the district sup ported the scheme, the proposed line would not be car ried out, The length of the line would be about 19 miles, and the object was to connect the Buckinghamshire Rail way at Banbury,witb tl)6 Oxford,Worcester, and Wolver hampton line et Moreton. It would give facilities to the farmers in the Valley of the Stour to come to the Banbury market. Ho felt the inconvenience of living at Shipston, from which place all railway communication seemed to be cut off. He believed that the London mails reached Edinburgh sooner or quite as soon as they reached Shipston; he hoped, therefore, the promoters of the line would have the cordial co-operation of all per sons in the district.—(Hear, hear.) The price of coals in the neighbourhood of Shipstou was very high, and there was no doubt the price could be much reduced by means of railway communication. He might mention that since the Buckinghamshire Railway was opened to Oxford the price of coals there had been reduced from 245. to 16s. per ton, causing an annual saving of 21,0001 a year to that city ; and in the neighbourhood of Ban bury the price of coal had been reduced from 20s. to 14s. 6d. per ton, causing a saving to the inhabitants of more than 8,0001. per annum. After some observations from the Rev. F. Litchfield, and explanations from Mr. E. Watkin and the Hon. P. S. Pierrepout. resolutions were passed to the effect that as the interests of the landowners would be especially promoted by the proposed railway, every facility ought to be given to its promoters by the sale of land at very moderate prices, and appointing a committee to wait upon the landowners with a view to obtain their support and assistance. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thank® to the Chairin au. NORTHAMPTON AND BANBURY. It appears that landowners and others interested in the construction of this line are endeavouring to induce the company to make the railway, which at present re. mains in abeyance. At the last meeting of the company it was proposed to wind up its affairs as soo❑ as pos sible, and divide the funds in hand among the share holders. GLOUCESTER, AND DEAN FOREST. The works of this line, which form an integral por tion of the South Wales line from. Chepstow to Glouces ter, are in a for Ward state, and are being pushed on with vigour.in order to have the line ready for opening on the 18th of Juno next, which is at present announced as the day on which the South Wales line from Chep stow to Gloucester is to be opened, the chief work re maining to be done being one of the bridges over the Severn tet Gloucester, and which must be crossed in order to form a junction with the Great Western and Midland lines at the joint station at Gloucester. Should there be any delay in the completion of the works by the 11th ofJune, it will arise from the difficulty of finishing the bridge over the Wye at Chepstow, and one ' of the two bridges over the Severn at Gloucester. It is necessary to explain here that the river Severn as it approaches the city of Gloucester divides into two channels, called respectively the Maisemore and tho Gloucester channels, the principal part of the river traffic passing along the latter channel. There are of course two bridges, called the Gloucester end Over bridges, and the railway crosses the Maisemore channel below the Over bridge and above the Gloucester bridge. The bridge over Maisemore chancel has been completed for many months. The line after crossing the Severn passes over several str, et; of the city to the station of the Great Western and Milhaud (Bristol and Birmingham) Companies, and only a smell p of the terminus remains at present untouched. The -works from Gloucester up to the junction of the South Wales line at Grange-court are iu such a state of forwardness (with the exception of the bridge over the Severn) that they could be opened in a month from this time.

The Oxford University Commission met yesterday at the official risidence of the First Lord of the Trea sury, in Downing-street. Present—The Bishop of Norwich, the Dean of Carlisle, the Master of Pem broke, the Rev. 11. G. Liddell, J. L. Dampier, Esq., Rev. Professor Powell, Rev. G. H. S. Johnson, aad Rev. A. P. Stanley (secretary). Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colo nial-office, from the Governors of the West India MARRIAGE OF LORD WARD. DUDLEY, THURSDAY NIGHT.—The marrisge of Lord Ward and Miss De Burgh was celebrated in this town to-day, with every demonstration of respect for " the high contracting parties," and the expression of many hearty wishes for their future happiness. The day opened with the ringing of bells, and at day break flags were flying from the lofty keep and towers of tho far famed Dudley Castle. " Still ruined splendour lingers there." Amidst the grounds or this ancient edifice, the children of the Church were regaled, and the inmates of the workhouse, nct only in Dudley, but in other places, were treated to roast beef and plum pudding, with a good supply of ale and tobacco; and never were poor people more delighted with the provision so generously sup plied. At neon a grand dinner took place at the hotel—Mr. P. Williams, county magistrate, in the absence of Cap tain Bennett, prevented by illness from attending, pre sided. Mr. D. Foley, M.P., and several influential gentlemen of the district were present. Among the toasts proposed was " The Right Hon. Lord and Lady Ward." _ _ _ The party did not break up until a late hour. A second dinner took place at the house of Mr. Mantle, the Saracen's Head, in Stone-street. Mr. Joshua Harvey presided; and the company consisted of many influential tradesmen of the town. The rejoicings were not confined to Dudley —the me tropolis of Lord Ward's property—but extended to Sedgeley, Himley, and Witley. Dinners were partaken of by the principal inhabitants, and the school children of the Establishment were entertained in a manner be fitting the auspicious event. There was one melancholy drawback to the pleasures of the day. At the village of Himley, in the immediate neighbourhood of the seat of Lord Ward, the rejoic ings were most enthusiastic; but, as is frequently the case in such manifestations, a piece of gun nery was brought fervvard, which, by its explosion killed a man, the head of a family of a wife and three children, residing at Stourbridge. Nor was this the only intelligence from Ilimley, fur at a subsequent hour news was brought into Dudley that the hall was on fire; but it subsequently turned out that a trifling fire, whether occasioned by the boiling over of the ingre, dients required in the cooking of dinner, or not, did not appear. It is sufficient to say that, notwithstanding all mis haps, the festivities passed off with the greatest satis faction to all parties. IRELAND. SALES OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES. DUBLIN. FRIDAY.—SiX properties were set up for sale to-day. They were estates in the counties of Galway, Roscommon, Westmeath, Kilkenny, and Tipperary. The tone of the market was decidedly better than it had been for some time past, and all the estates, with the exception of a few lots, were readily disposed of, the gross amount realized being nearly 34,0001. The Evening Mail contains the following:—" Hurried accounts have reached town of an attempt to assassinate Mr. Billing, an extensive land agent of this city. We are not in possession of any details beyond the facts that the unhappy gentleman was fired at, the day before yes t9rclay, in the county, of Westmeath, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Killucan, and that the ball of the assassin took effect, inflicting a severe and, it is greatly to be feared, dangerous wound. Mr. Billing, we understand, accompanied an aunt of his, who has property near Killucan. Ile was not in any way connected with the property, but the lady was going to collect rents. TUE CORN TRADE.—The supplies of home grain con tinue very moderate, and the prices of every description were fully supported, and in some instances a small ad vance was realized. Indian corn without alteration. White wheat, 225. to 246. 6d.; red ditto, 20a. to 235, Gd.; barley, 12s. to 155.; oats, - 10s. 6d. to 12s. Gd.; oatmeal, lls. to 12s. 6.1.; flour, second, 12s. to 145.; Indian core, per 4801b5., 30s. to 335. 6d. TILE GREAT EXHIBITION.—It has given us great pleasure to learn that the health of Mr. llenderson, one of the contractors for the erection of the Palace of Industry, bas greatly improved, and that he will arrive in town probably on Monday next, for the purpose of being present at the opening of the Exhibition on Thursday. The Executive Committee of her 'Majesty's Commissioners for the Great Exhibition, after raising the prices of season tickets to four guineas for gentlemen, and three guineas for' ladies, yester day reduced those rates of charge to the original amounts, and all purchasers at the higher prices will receive back the extra guinea,,upon ap,plication. The rise was made without any official notice of an intention to do so, and the fall has taken place quite as unexpectedly. A sale of 10,000 tickets was completed this week, probably in consequence of the now decision that the holder of season tickets should be present at the opening of the Exhibition by the Queen, and to this cir cumstance may be attributed the cause of the rise. To ac count for the subsequent fall, when a " reserved right" to raise them still further had been announced, is a more difficult ma' ter. It would certainly be desirable that in arrange ments of such consequ ence to the public, there should be a greater display of unif orm i ty of practice.

The new re-laid ground is getting into beautiful condi. ion, and will soon be fit to play on. We understand that a steam - packet will le a ve B os t on on the morning of the 2 d of June with a party to see the match at Wisbech, and return to Poston in the afternoon of the second day, which will enable the lovers of cricket to see nearly two days first-rate cricket-playing for the fare of only about 3s. from Boston to Wisbech and back. A packet will also be put on from Satton-bridge to Wisbech each day, and returning each evening for Gd. each journey; be sides which, cheap trains will run to Wisbech from the va rious stations during the match. The greatest interest is taken in this grand affair, as nothing of so noted a character ever took place in Wisbech before. Two elevens will play a match on the cricket-field, Pichard's-lane, Wisbech; on Thursday, the Ist of May next, commencing at twelve o'clock, and the players will practise closely during the month of May, so as to be well prepared for the favourite eleven. The population of Sunderland is expected to prove not much below 75,000. If this should be the case it will show an increase of about 11,00() in the last ten years. WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH. A special meeting of this company took place yester day at Bath, for the consideration and approval ef t Bill for enab:ing arrangements, with reference to the pur chase, Irene, or other use by the Great Western Rail way Company, of tho Wilts, Somerset, and Weynriuth, the Gloucester and Forest of Dean Railway, and the South Wales Railway, respectively, to be effected; Sir J. W. Awdry in the chair. The prelmhle and sections of the Bill having been read and explained by the solicitors, The CHAIRMAN said the directors had been advised by their legal advisers that the Bill secured every advan tage to this company to which they were entitled ; he hoped, therefore, under these circumstances, they would give it their sanction. . In answer to a question the CHAIRMAN said the pre sent direction of this company would cease, and, instead of being an independent company, they would become preference shareholders of the Great Western Railway Company, that company not being able to divide one farthing until they had paid them. He then moved that the Bill for the purposes above mentioned be approved, and that the directors be authorised to concur in any amendment or dterations which might be made in fur thering the progress of such Bill. This resolution having been carried unanimously, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meet ing separated. DIRECT EAST AND WEST COAST JUNCTION. Yesterday, there was a meeting of the persons in terested in this company's affairs to call on his Honour Master Ferrer, to review a report in which he had come to the conclusion that the order to wind up the company would not have been made if the facts had been pre sented to the Vice-Chancellor. • Mr. W. GALSWORTRY represented to the Master that the report in question proceeded on a misapprehension of the real facts of the case. It stated that there were no debts, the facts being that although creditors had not yet been called in, claims of 2,6051. had already been lodged by Sir John Rennie and Mr. Remington, the joint engineers, and by Dr. S. Mackenzie, recretary, for 6001. The directors received 19,0001, in deposits, up wards of 9.0001. of which they handed over to the Der byshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Railway, with which they " amalgamated," without, it is alleged, the consent of the shareholders, only a few, holding about 3,000 shares, taking scrip in the latter company. His HONOUR said the statements he had heard seemed to present a new view of the case, and that he would give a formal decision in a day or two. RAILWAY RETURNS TRAFFIC RETIMNS FOR THE PAST WEEK.

Influenced by the holidays, which cetzmenced the latter end of last week, and extended into the proaent, the busineSB in chores has been limited, end inAl:vidull mines in pactkular; but we have reason to bitlievethat more in amount lies been done in spectibfive mires, whatever may he , the proportions the former are sup posud to bear, or should hear, to the latter. On the other hand, several - recently-introduced concerns, with largely-promised favourable results, and heavy sAi.,ns asked as premiums, do not find their shares readily taken, from which we may augur increasing caution on the part of the capitalists, and hope for its continuance, as it is only by excessive vigilance on the part of pur chasers that the present disposition to invest in specula tive mines can be attended with successful results. In the Metal Market, Copper is in steady demand.— Lead brisk, with good foreign orders.—Tin very dull: quotations nominal—Tin plates have again given way. The sampling this week at Wheal Buller, Redruth, amounted to 400 togs, ...The ticketing on Thursday last was for 1834 tons - of flee. copper. The average preduce was 7i, add: stan4aid,',lo3/. 9s.

Illbs. of tin ore for 7741. I ls. The agent adds—" We hope to make the next the crowning sale of the whole. The mine looks well, as will be seen from the reports from the eastern part." Wheal Trelawny sold 100 tons of lead ore at 211. 12s. per ton. 7 _ _ Mineral Court sold four parcels of tin at 56/. 10s., 441., 481., and 161. per ton respectively. The biddings for 50 tons of Glenmalur (Ireland) lead ore varied from 81. 13s. by Eyton, to 101, 6d., by Sims, Willyams, and Co. Court Grange sold 55 tons of silVir-lead ore, at 154 15r,:. 61 per ton. The ticketings for 100 tons of Newtonards lead ore varied from 81.8 s. 6d., by Thomas Somers, to 111, 2s. 6d., by Sims, Williams, and Co. 4 Callington Mines sampled 45 tons of lead ores on Monday last. The reports from the mine are assuming a more favourable tendency again. Among the arrivals at Swansea have been 735 tons of copper ore from Cuba; 120 tons from 4,rance; and 115 tons from Algiers. We learn from Truro, that Mr. Pryor is actively en gaged in the purchase of shares in the United Mines; and that he has obtained transfers of a consi&rable number, which ensures the continued workings of that important concern. A. respected correspondent at Redruth furnishes us with the following as the present prices of mining ma terials, which are now at a very low rate:-Norway balk (since one moiety of the duty is off) is reduced to Bd. per foot; powder, 345. per 100 lbs.; common bar iron, ss. 6d. per cwt.; nails vary as to size from 13s. to 17s. per cart.; candles, 4s. sd. per doz. lbs.; tallow, 38s to 40s. per cwt.; round rope, 345.; fiat, 36 5 . p er cw t .; b en d leather, is. 9d.; Buffalo butts, 100. to ls. 2d. per lb.; steel, 225.; blistered, 38s. to 425. per cwt. best. Men's wages vary; some only get 40s. per month, but good men will get 50s. and upwards.

Gustavus, Heignston Downs ' Herodsfoot,Whcal Venton, South of Scotland, South Tolgus, Tincroft, and Wheal Trewane. In Foreign shares business has been done in St. John del Rey, Copiapo, Australian, and United Mexican. From the Australian Mining Company's report for December, we find that the ground has improved in the 20, at Ansteys—the end driving at 201. per fm. The vre in Phillips's winzo is yielding well, and the quality very good. At North Tungkillo they are driving west, to cut Alexander's lode—ground easy. The shaft is down 8 fms. under adit—lode large and promising. Baker's Mine has proved hard ground throughout, though 2,000 tons of ore have been obtained from it. Circumstances have compelled them to reduce the number of labourers to 30 on tutwotk, and 12 on tribute. This is much to be regretted, According to Government returns, the exportation of copper bard, ores, and bigots from Chili during the third quarter of the past 3 ear amounted to 152,5731. value, and that of silver to 227,957/.; making a total of 350,5.3C1. Of copper, the shipments to England were 77,426/., * and to the United States, 63,7221.; whilst of silver, the exports to England were 125,4031.; to France, 31,1071.; to Germany, 43,769/.• ' and to China, 14,5241. Some rich deposit s o f silver have been discovered near a southern Bolivian town, which, however, have been claimed as within the limits of Chili. Some of the veins tie of 200 and 300 marks to the cajon, and others of even 800.

TIIE EQtJESTRIANS IN HYDE-PARR. V. THE PEDES TRIANS.—A new riding-ground for the equestrians in Hyde park has been allotted. • The spot selected is the - piece of turf running parallel with Rotten-row and the Serpentine. The choice cannot he considered a happy one, for without doing away with the most important objections urgOd against Rotten-row in its present state, the pedestrians Piave been deprived of one of the most frequented and beautiful turf walks in the park, and much dissatisfaction was felt yester day at the arrangement. Great care is requisite on the part of the equestrians, for the promenaders are indisposed to vacate the spot altogeth, r, and altercations are consequently of fre quent occurrence. Occasionally, too, a huge dog emerging (tripping from the Serpentine rushes into the middle of the rile to enjoy a roll after his bath, to the manifest discomfiture of the horsemen, who are compelled to pull up and wait until his gambols are over. A heavy shower will convert the new ride into a sea of mud, and render it useless for either riding or walking. It is much to be regretted that one of the other spaces suggested has not been selected - one more inconve nient than that chosen, or more likely to cause dissatisfac tion, it would,be difficult to imagine. SHAKSPERE A THOROUGH SAILOR.—Let me point attention to a genuine nautical expression, in the use of which Shakspere shows himself a thorough sailor : " The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail." " Hamlet, act I, sc. 3. In a "fore and aft sail" of the p re se nt day the "shoulder" is the foremost upper corner, and the last part of the canvass on which the wind, fixes its influence when a vessel is " sailing by the wind, or even off the wind." The " veriest lout" in the " afterguard" will appreciate the truthfulnessand beauty of t h e m etaphor.—Notes and C2neries. • .. -..,,z,,~„ _~_ 1851. PORT/NG INTELLIGENCE.

INTERESTING DISCOVERIES IN THE INTE RIOR OF AFRICA: _ M. de Gaysa, a Hungarian 'savant, who is at present travelling in the interior, of• Western Africa, has just sent home to the Imperial Society of Vienna a commu nication full of interest for France. He has found amongst the Kommeuis, a small tribe in Senegambia, traces of Jacques Compagnon, who was sent out by the Duke do Choiseul about 1760 on a voyage of exploration, but who was never heard of afterwards. The Kommenis are in a state of half civilization; they have some religious notions possesing a certain analogy with the Christian tradition; they have a regular lan guage, an alphabet, and a mode of writiug. M. de Gaysa discovered in one of their principal villages a little stone monument of a conical form, covered with an inscription in hieroglyphical characters. After care fully studying this construction, and after a careful in quiry amongst the old men of the country, and having heard the traditions which existed amongst them, he became convinced that the monument was the tomb of Jacques Compagnon, who had been detained by the Kommenis, and at last became accustomed to his posi tion, and instructed the natives in the principles of all the useful arts. He died in 1775, leaving amongst them the reputation of a sage or good genius. But the belief of M. de Gaysa on the subject of Compagnon was changed into certitude when the head of the tribe showed him several objects which had belonged to a Eu ropean, and which were locked on by the people as sacred; amongst them was a quadrant bearing the name of Jacques Compagnon in full. M. de Gaysa intends making some stay amongst this interesting tribe.— Galignani. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUICID.E. Last evening Mr. Langhana held a lengthened inquest in St. George's Hospital, Hyde-park, on the body of William Porter, a journeyman baker, aged 26. Jane Howard, au interesting girl, eighteen years of age, said that she lived servant a t Bayswater. with Mr. M‘Gratli , solicitor. Deceas e d, who served the family with bread , e raid his addresses to her, which she received, a s considered him a single man, until his cousin asked him i in her pressure how his wife arid family were? witness questioned him upon the subject, he denied ho was married, us did also his sister-in-law. Her master made inqUiries about him, and found that he was mate ried, and she ascertained that he bad a wife and four children in 13alter-street, Lambeth. After this she re. fused to have anything to say to him. On Saturday night he came to her master': gate and asked her to shake hands with him, declared that he was not mar. ried, and begged she would go out and walk with him. She refused. On Monday afternoon she received the following letter from him, which bore the Lambeth post mark: — "My de`ar Jane,—This is to tell you that when you read this I shall be no mere. If you inquire at Graves. end or Greenwich, you will find the lifeless body of " Your affectionate " WILLIAM PORTER. " I wish you well through life." In the evening of that day, however, ho called at her master's gate, looking pale and faint. lie asked her if she had received a letter. She said " Yes." lie shook hands with her, bade her good bye, and, putting a bottle to his lips, drank off its contents, and then walked off, atter she had in vain attempted to seize the bottle, which he flung from her. He then staggered along, and she opened the gate and followed him, when she found hiss about eleven yardi off; supported by some persons, who put him in a cab, and conveyed him to the hospital. Police-constable Alfred Tanner, 409 D, accompanied de ceased in a cab to the hospital, and upon arriving there deceased pas dead. = Mr. Polton opened the body, and found that deceased's death resulted from prussic acid. Mr. W. IL Percy, master baker, Bayswater, deceased's mister, said that on last Saturday he ascertained the deceased had emhezeed 201. whice he had received from his customers, and that he had stolen a watch from fellow-servant, which, together with his disappointment at the girl Howard not marrying him, in all probability induced him to destroy himself. The jury, after a p,r,o tracted deliberation, returned a verdict of " Insanity. A dr - WOAD TO _IMMO ARTISTp.—Long bright days may now be looked for, and we repeat the advice we have before given, that our young readers should seize such brief opportunities as occur, and be off with their sketch-books to some of the fine old remnants of the past which stud the country.

For the second of these we are warm advocates the provision of innocent amusement is of the utmost im portance to n: state. - " Seek to solace when sadncsl thee assails.

We sincerely hope that this awful example will not need repeating to haVe a most salu tary effect upon the perpetrators of crime, of every grade in our Midst. Between 3,000 and 4,000 citi zens participated either actively or passively. Speeches of an inflammatory character were made, and little efforts used, except by the Mar shal, N. C. Cunningham, to stay the excited mass. Mr. Tweed and Judge Bullock spoke in favour of sustaining the laws and meting out justice, but the crowd would hear of nothing but an, immediate investigation. A committee of 12 citizens . was named as an investigating committee to hear' evidence and report to the crowd. The following i* the report of the committee :—" We, the committee of investigati on appointed by our fellow-citizens to investigate the circumstances of the unfortunate oc currence that took place this afternoon in this city, do report that, after a full and impartial examination into the premises, we find that at about two o'clock, P.M., this day, Frederick Rowe and some other person, whose name is unknown, w ere engaged i n an alter cation, which originated at a gambling-table at the, Mansion-house ; and that after said parties had pro-, passing in the stre e t, i nterfered with. ceeded into the street and were there'fighting, Charles Myers who was words, by requesting them to desist fighting, or to show ' fair., play;' that immediaaely thereafter the. said F. Rowe 'called out, ' What the devil have you to say,' and then drew his pistol, and without further_ provocation shot the said Charles Myers through th e head.—J. Hs Scranton Dr. E, Cronin,W. F. Pretty- . man, J. B. Starr, D. 0. Mills, P. B. Cornwall, J. T. Bayley, H. G. Langley, A. M. Winn, G. G. Wright, L. Hernance, H. Olmstead, committee?' After this report of the committee was read the crowd immediately proceeded, amidst the greatest excite ment and uproar to the calaboose, determined on taking the prisoner, but they were resisted for at least one hour by the Marshal and his aids. It was now about nine o'clock, the night was dark—the mutter ings of the people deep, ' yet loud.. 'Some of them rushed to an awning, pulled up the posts, and at once attacked the door of the station-house with these battering-rams. Soon the door yielded, being de molished by repeated blows. Deputy-Sherriff Harris stood in the doorway, and, with his posse in the rear,. held the crowd at bay for some time —remonstrating and threatening. Finally, the crowd in the, rear made a rush forward, which placed those i n th e f ron t ranks in connexion with Mr. Harris, when be was iiiisdner, ' pushed, jostled from his position, and .tile 'p opu l ace brought in possession of the prisoner. The Frederick J. Rowe, was in the inner cell, chained to a post. After a long delay, the chain was severed, and he was then seized and hurried up'tbiii stairs into the street. It was then announced that the prisoner would be hung in Sixth-street, betreen K and L, from one.of the large oaks. The cro t ipantediately proceeded to that poi n t a t a b ou t half-past nine o'clock. The prisoner was atrongly 'guarded, and . talif , n up J to the intersection of Fiftli-areet, when ha was taken down the same and up K. to Sixth, and then to the place of execution. The concourse of people at the gallows numbered about 4,000. A large bon firo was kindled, a stand was erected under a large oak tree, on which the prisoner Was paced ; a rope Vita procured, a clergyman called, who had some brief religious exercises with the prisoner. The clergyman stated that the prisoner had nothing to say for himself, except that he had a widowed mother living in England, and that he had been absent from her for a conaidvrable length of time. A white handkerchief was then tied over his face, his arms pinioned, the rope adjusted to a limb of the tree and the neck of the prisoner, he sobbing aloud; three men then drew him from the stand into the air—an awful and solemn silence pervaded throughout the immense concourse of people. The occasion—the dead hour of night—and the immense gathering, all conspired to make the scene such as we hope never again to behold. After the body was drawn up a few struggles and contractions of the limbs ensued ; and thus perished the unfortunate prisoner. The body hung twenty minutes, when it was let down, and pronounced by several citizens as dead. Thus ended one of the greatest tragedies ever witnessed in California. Mr. Myers, the man who was shot, we are informed, came from the vicinity of Columbus, Ohio, and has left a wife and several children. Fre derick J. Rowe, the man who was hung, was about 22 years of age, and an Englishman by birth.—Cali /mien Paper .

ROTATION OF THE EARTH.—The experiment of the pendulum,•as illustrating the earth's diurnal motion, has been successfully performed by Mr. A. H. Ross, at his ob servatory at the South Dock, Sunderland. The instrument used was a weight of 141bs. attached to the end of a line wire,l6 feet long, which, being set in motion, swinging as the pendulum bob of a common clock, was found in half an hour to have formed an angle of 7 1 / degrees with a line drawn on the floor in the same place in which the ball was set in motion.—Sunderland Herald. THE DANISH GOVERNMENT STEAM -PACKET JYL LA N. D —Yesterday this splendid steamer left the East I n di a hocks for her first trip to Denmark. She made 13 knots on the average, and showed a speed equal to that of some of the fastest river boats. The Jylland is an iron paddle steamer of 450 tons and 120-horse power, built by Messrs. Robinson and Russell, the engineers,- of Mill-wall, for the Danish Government, and has a very beautiful and yacht-like appearance. She is intended to trade direct between Lon don and the fertile districts of north-west Jutland (by the Agger Canal), Nykjobing-upon-Marsoe becoming her head station. The direct route from the very breeding and gra zing places will now enable importers to bring Danish oxen e into this market i n a very super i or cond i t i on, an d a l so ser ve greatly to increase the exports for Denmark from thrp o lt so that, upon th e whole, the event of its opening may be con sidered as one of great interest.
