DLffield and Sbcffivld Turnpike Road Regent's Canal Company. The Report on the Ministers' Widows and Orphans' Fund of the Free Church of Scotland Bill was con sidertd and agreed to. PETITIONS. Mr. DUNCAN presented a petition against Lord Melgunc's School Bill. Several petitions were presented against the Papal aggre Mr. HENRY presented several petitions freln Man chester, Bury, and other paces in Lancashire in favour of secuiar education. Mr. HEADLAM presented a petition from Lord Southampton mid another person against the Copyheld Tenure Bill. Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from Bermondsey against the Sundsy Trading ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the House, at its rising. should adjourn tit :ix o'clock to-morrow evening . , to enable M , :rcbers to have an opportunity of being pre sent at the opening of the Great Exhibition. Sir H. H. INGLIS thought it would be more gracious on such an occasion, to make tomorrow a whole holiday, and to adjourn till Friday. The Hon. Baronet moved as an amendment, that the House should adjourn till four o'clock on Friday evening. Mr. FOX MAULE considered that it would be in convenient to public business to adjourn over to morrow, as the general Elections Committee had been appointed to be sworn tomorrow, and according to the Act of Parliament, they could not be sworn after seven o'clock in the evening. Mr. BANKES supported the amendment. The next meeting of the House, he thought, would satisfy the pro visions of the Act, with regard to the swearing of the Committee. Lord J. RUSSELL said, as the Exhibition would not be open after six o'clock, Members would be able to be there at the hour when the House assembled; he could not, therefore, seo that the sitting of the House would prevent their being at the opening ceremony. Mr. TRELAWNEY supported the motion. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion . For the amendment . Majority ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION. The House having gone into Committee upon this election, Lord J. RUSSELL moved, in accordance with what he stated yesterday, that an humble address should be presented to her Majesty praying that a Royal proclama tion should be immediately issued, with such reward as her Majesty might think proper, for the discovery, ap prehension, and detention of John Seeley Waggett, J. Hayward, and other persons. Mr. BANKES supported the motion, and in doing so complained of the course which had been pursued by the Committee. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL defended the pro ceedings of the Committee, which he contended was the best tribunal to determine the question which was re ferred to them. ~ 52 Mr. STUART considered that the strongest objec tion which could be found to the proceedings of the Committee was that they had confirmed the return of the sitting Member without a satisfactory explanation of the abstraction of witnesses by the agents of the sitting Member. Mr. E. ELLICE defended the proceedings of the Committee. Mr. HUME thought that the present occasion ought to furnish a lesson to the Noble Lord at the head of the Government to hasten on with his measure of Parlia mentary reform, and to put an end to the system of bribery which prevailed in almost all small boroughs, by increasing the constituency. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought the Hon. Member had certainly wandered further from the question than say one else, when he raised the general question of Parliamentary reform. He certainly did not agree with him that a large constituency prevented bribery, but as far as his own experience went—(Hear, hear) — he thought that a large constituency was no purer than a small one. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Yesterday the excitement within and around the Crystal Palace was immense. There was en overwhelm ing rush of exhibi ors into the interior until two o'clock, when means were taken to check the number of admis sienti. Matters were in a still worse state at the office for the sale of season tieketi, which remained for seve ral hoofs in a state of permanent blockade. The gather ing excitement is an unmistakeable warning to the Ex ecutive Committee and to the police authorities to adopt every precaution for the public safety in their arrange ments with reference to the great event of Thursday. The former body evince a proper anxiety on this sub• ject by issuing the following circular, which we ear nestly recommend to the attention of all whom it may concern:— " OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION. "1. Visitors are informed that there are numerous entrances into the building on all sides, and they are requested not to assemble in crowds at any one of than]. 2. The issue of tickets having been limited, there is ample room for every person to obtain a good view of the procs,ion along the nave, and seats have been pro vidi-d fix ladi s in the nave and galleries. " 3. The pat:o hale orders to enforce the following rules:—‘ To reserve the seats for htdie , a until haifipast eleven; to prevent any person from crossing any boun dary line; w prevent ell walking about during the ce remony; to prevent any person from standing on any counter; to trivent all crow.dug in any part of the building; to keep the nave of the building quite clear at all times till the ceremony is over; to see that every per son takes his seat in that part of the building for which he has a card.' " By order of the Executive Committee, " M. DIGBY WYATT." To-day no exhibitors will be admitted unless they present themselves before eight o'clock in the morning, and the building will be entirely cleared early in the af ternoon, in order that the preparations connected with her Msje,ty's reception may be completed. Yesterday in the department of machinery in motion, after several preliminary trial, the steam was turned into the building, and the whole of the engines n o w in position were put in motion; the result was extre mel y satisfactory; the more so as considerable anxiety has been telt as to the practicability of conveying the steam through so great a length of pipe without destroying its power by condensation. The entire range of steam-pipe, including the ramifications to the various engines, is nearly 3,000 feet, which is, pro bably, a greater length than hss ever yet been succ,ess fully applied. The steam is supplied from five boilers, placed in an isolated building at the west end of the Ex hibition. Four of these boilers are multitubular, upon a somewhat novel construction, by Messrs. W. G. Arm strong and Co., of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the fifth is a double-furnace boiler, by Messrs. Galloway, of Man chester. These boilers collectively are equal to 150- horse power, and the steam is carried from them into the building by a pipe of nine inches diameter, thickly coated with felt. This pipe, which may be compared to the main artery of a human body, gradually diminishes in size as it extends through the building, and along its entire range receivers of a peculiar construction are placed, which arrest the water produced by condensation, and suffer the pure steam to flow onwards. After passing through the engines the exhausted steam enters another system of pipes, by which it isconveyed into a tunnel out side of the building, and both systems of pipes are placed beneath the floor, where they are entirely out of sight. The whole arrangements of the steam pipes, with their connected apparatus, have been carried out by Messrs. W. G. Armstrong and Co., under the direction of Mr. W. Cubist, one of the Royal Commissioners, who more immediately presides over the mechanical department, and of Mr. Hensmann, the superintendent of that class. Her Majesty and Prince Albert visited the Exhibition yesterday at an early hour, and remained for a long time examining with interest t he collections in the dif ferent compartments. There was a violent hailstorm during the day, the sound of which, as it descended upon the glass ro9f, produced a very singular effect, but not a pane was in jured by it. We are glad to announce the return to the building of Mr. Henderson, of the firm of Fox and Henderson, who for some time past has been so seriously indis posed. His recovery will enable him, we trust, to take part in the procession on Thursday. (From the Times.) As Mr. Alison tells a story better than he makes a speech, most readers will remember his description of Paris in 1814, when the termination of a twenty years' contest had c oncentrated the warriors and the gazers of the world in the streets of the French capital. There were Calmucks and Bashkirs from the borders of Asia, still carrying b o ws and arrows, and clustering i n g rou p s aloof from the soldiers of the west. There were Cos sacks from the banks of the Don, fondling steeds nearly as human as themselves, and storing under their capa cious saddles the plunder gathered between the Niemen and the Rhine. There were old Russians of Kutusoff's army, boyish conscripts from exhausted Austria, rugged Landwebr from Prussia, Swed e s under French leaders, Belgians and Bavarians under the colours of the allies, and a sprinkling of English uniforms to enliven the mass. The whole world appeared collected before the eyes of the young historian. As he walked along the Champs Elysees he listened to Asiatic carols issuing from sheep skin tents, while giotrmquo uoatumca and barbarous clamours arrested his notice at every turning of the Faubourgs. He may now, if he can shake off the bewildering fumes of Protectionist banquets, see a sight not very dif ferent in the capital of his own country. We verily believe that no city in the world ever attracted such a motley assemblage as London at this present season. Substituting the guise of peace for the n,stumes of war, we encounter battalions of all races at every step. What our neighbours team a " fusion" seems absolutely com plete, and on an European scale. From Piccadilly to St. Paul's there pours one continuous stream of bearded visages, pleasantly diversified by peculiarities of cheek bones and headgear. Even the accompaniment of strange music is not a anting, and the attentive listener may catch the national airs of most civilized communities as he walks along the Strand. The place seems suddenly transformed into the capital of the universe, our own share in the muster being none of the largest. We ap pear, in fact, to have become the least part of ourselves already. To detect a real English face, one has to turn to a cabstand, and feelings of sympathy and compatriot ism are positively excited by the individual on the box. Within this week twice as many Frenchmen will be landed in England as Napoleon ever intended to bring here. The Grand Army was never likely to have ex ceeded 150,000 on the shores of Kent, whereas 270,000 passports are said to have been issued to the depart ments alone, Paris being a separate contributor. It is said too, and from the concurrence of testimony we are inclined to credit the statement, that the attraction of the World's Fair increases instead of diminishing with the distance. Germany is described as being more ex cited than France. and Russia than Germany. Turkey has already contributed the most numerous of the offi cial missions, and as soon as the ice breaks in the White Sea (which, we fear, will not be very quickly with such winds as these), we are to receive such a seaborne caravan from Eastern Siberia., that an adventurous American might cross from California by way of Beh ring's Straits. As to our own people, the northern and western shores are to be emptied of their popula tion ; and, if there lives anywhere a being indifferent to the Great Exhibition, he is to be found, we are sure, in Pimlico or Knightsbridge. " A rush of people to the capital," said Swift, is like a conflux of animal spirits to the heart—a sign that the constitution is in danger." In 1710, perhaps, it might have been so, but we have now outlived our national climacteric, and can indulge our fancies with impunity. After all, this enormous gathering is rather a revival of old fashions than a new design. Our insular isolation is the characteristic of comparatively modern history. When Christendom had but one creed, and Europe but one empire, such congregations were far from uncom mon. Gibbon, in his sententious way, talks of " piracy and pilgrimage" as fusing all the nations of the earth, and the remark is substantially true. More Englishmen had seen Rome in the 15th century than in the 18th, the con quest of Britain by Normans alternated with the conquest of Normandy by Britons,and all ideas were prosecuted in a far more cosmopolitan spirit than distinguished later generations. The ancient cathedrals of the land which our visitors will look at were built mostly by German or Italian Freemasons, with French stone, and were as often filled with graduates from Paris and Bologna as from Oxford and Cambridge. Our population itself is a compound of half-a-de zen races, and yet by a strange contradiction K e no sooner became an adult nation than we ri pudiated our kinspeople, and shut ourselves up from the world. Our Queen was the first English Sove reign since Henry VIII. who ever shook hands with her next-door Monarch; and she is now the first to collect such a company as might have been invited by Richard Cceur de Lion or Edward 111. There is no denying, however, that we shall feel our selves " pretty full," and indeed we look upon the festival as a curious trial of the capacities of modern ingenuity. Nothing in the Crystal Palace will be so signal a monu ment of popular industry as the entertainment itself. London is the most populous city in the world, even taken alone. Suburbs included, we muster 2,500:000 souls. It is not perhaps too much to expect that, first and last, as many more will come up from the country. This makes 5,000,000, an equivalent to the entire population of England but a few generations ago. Then come our visitors—a legion whereof the 300,000 Frenchmen already reported may be taken as the unit. Altogether, the least we can expect is, that London, one day with another, will always contain two persons for every one of those usually present in the height of the season. Now the height of the season, as many of our readers know, seldom leaves much margin in the way of elbow-room; in fact, it is hard enough to get along whenever a fine day or a gala show brings the multitude abroad. What are we to do when in every street, in .every house, in every railway, in every steamer, and in every " bus" two will stand for one? how are ail the wants of all the company to be satisfied together. The vision is rether alarming perhaps at first, but, like ether prospects, it dwindles in dimensions on a closer view. If we do our best we shall not find much difficulty in getting on. We have had good notice, and are Quite prepared to be pleased. Our Visitors are ha bituated to such doings, though on a somewhat smaller scale. They can peck themselves, as some of our boarding-houses know, in small compass; they are Sc. cie,tomed to public assemblies and to an every-day life Of promenades, with a modest allowance of comforts at home. Th ey h ave a l arger s t oc k of civility than our selves, and carry it about them in a more n e g otiable t, form; they ar e more pli a bl e , a nd less morose. If there is a disagreeable passenger in an omnibus or in a ste amer, wea even e the r sorry to say, likely to be a foreign er. It will neither be th e F renc h man , nor t he German, nor the Dane, nor urk,,who refuaes to give and take, or to to contribute his share to the hilarity and goad I:oeliDr, of the company. Xlioaabotantial part of the en" tertainment we shall doubtless manage well enough. In so far as concerns tough beef, heady b.er, and blazing port, we shall he forthcoming with our dues, and the good sense end steadiness of English efficial3 may he securely relied on for preserving order without obtrusive ness o!' interference cr dictation. A good deal of the rest depends upon ourselves and the weather. East winds, it must be confessed, do not improve the national temper, and showers that set a Frenchman dancing under cover send an Englishman horns blaspheming in a cab. But we must try this season whether we cannot be a little better conditioned. The whole world is in our streets, and it rests with us to show by our behaviour that general good-fellowship and civility are not incom patible with free institutions, insular independence, and just national pride. MAY DAY ODE. (From the Times.) But yesterday a naked sod, The dandies sneerz.d from Rotten-row, And cantered o'er it to and fro; And see, 'tig done! As though 'twere by a wiz Ard's rod A blazing- arc'•. ofinoid glass Leaps like a fountain from the grass To meet the sun! A quiet green but fow days since With cattle bruwsing in the shade, And lo! lung lines of bright arcade In order raised; A palace as for fairy Prince, A rare pavilion, such as man Saw never, since mankind began And built and glazed! A peaceful place it was but now, And lo! within its shining streets A multitude of nations meets; A countless throng, I see beneath the crystal bow, And Gaul and German, RUS3 and Turk, Each with his native handiwork And busy tongue. I felt a thrill of love and awe To mark the different garb of each, The changing tongue, the various speech Together bleat. A thrill, methinks, like 'Otis who saw " All people dwelling upon earth " Praising our God with solemn mirth " And one consent." High Sovereign in your Royal state! Captains and Chiefs and Councillors, Before the lofty palace doors Are open set, Hush] ere you pass the shining gate; Hush! ero the heaving curtain draws, And let the Royal pageant pause A moment yet. People and Prince a silence keep! Bow coronet and kingly crown, Helmet and plume bow lowly down; The while the priest Before the splendid portal step, While still the wondrous banquet stays, From Heaven supreme a blessing prays Upon the feast! Then onwards let the triumph march; Then let the loud artillery roll, And trumpets ring and joy bells toll, And pass the gate; Pass underneath the shining arch 'Neath which the leafy elms are green— Ascend unto your throne, 0 Queen, And take your State! Behold her in her Royal place: A gentle lady—and the hand That sways the sceptre of this land How frail and weak! Soft is the voice, and fair the face; She breathes amen to prayer and hymn, No wonder that her eyes are dim, And pale her cheek. This moment round her empire's shores The winds of Austral winter sweep, And thousands lie in midnight sleep At rest to-day. 0! awful is that crown of yours, Queen of innumerable realms, Sitting beneath the budding elms Of English May ! A wondrous sceptre 'tie to bear, Strange mystery of God which set Upon her brow yon coronet, — The foremost crown Of all the world on one so fair! That chose her to it from her birth, And bade the sons of all the earth To her bow down. The representatives of man • Here from the far Antipodes And from the subject Indian seas In Congress meet; From Afric and from Hindostan, From Western continent and isle, The envoys of her empire pile Gifts at her feet. Our brethren cross the Atlantic tides, Loading the gallant decks which once Reared a defiance to our guns With peaceful store; Symbol of peace, their vessel rides! O'er English waves float Star and Stripe, And firm their friendly anchors gripe The father shore! From Rhine and DAnube, Rhone and Seine, As rivers from their sources gush The swelling floods of nations rush, And seaward pour: From coast to coast in friendly chain, With countless ships we bridge the straits And angry Ocean separates Europe no more. From Mississippi and from Nile— From Baltic, Ganges, Bosphorus, In England's Ark assembled thus Are friend and guest. Look down the mighty sunlit aisle, And see the sumptuous banquet set, Tho brotherhood of nations met Around the feast! Along the dazzling colonnade, Far as the straining eye can gaze, Gleam cross and fountain, bell, an d vase, In vistas bright. And statues fair of nymph and maid, And steeds, and pards,. and Amazons , Writhing and grappling in the bronze, ' In endless fight. To deck the glorious roof and dom e , To make the Queen a canopy, The peaceful hosts of industry Their standards bear You are the works of Brahmin loom * On such a web of Persian thread The desert Arab bows his head, And cries his pray er . Look yonder where the engines toil ; These England's arms of conquest are, The trophies of her bloodless war: Brave weapons these.

The engine roars upon its race, The shuttle whirrs along the woof, The people bum from floor to rqof, With Babel tongue. The fountain in the basin plays, The chanting organ echoes clear, An awful chorus 'tis to hear, A wondrous song!

W. M. THACKERAY. April 29. * The St. Lawrence. MILITARY PREPARATIONS FOR THE GRAND Exni. BITION.—For some time past the Duke of Wellington and Sir George Grey have been making the necessary m ili tar y and police arrangements for the ensuing Grand Exhibition. At the Cavalry Barracks, Knightsbridge, they have allotted a certain portion of the building for the reception of the 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards. A portion of the tst bat talion of the Rifle Brigade (now quartered at Dover) will march to Woolwich, and the other to the Tower of London, where the necessary preparations have been made for them. The Ist Royal Dragoons from Nottingham, and the Bth Hus sars from Brighton will be stationed in half billets at Hamp stead and Highgate. The 4th Light Dragoons, from Dublin, will be quartered in the barracks at Uxbridge. The follow ing will be the stations of the c avalr y :—lat Life Guards, Regent's-park, and a portion of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue, from Windsor); 2d Life Guards, Knightsbridge Barracks, Hyde-park; 16th Lancers, Hounslow, and a portion at Kensington Barracks; the 17th Lancers, from Newbridge to Woolwich. Infantry-Ist battalion Grenadier Guards, Windsor; 2d ditto, Knightsbridge; 3d ditto, St. George's Barracks, Trafalgar-square. Cold stream Guards-Ist battalion, Tower ;2d ditto, Wel lington Barracks, St. James's-park. Scots Fusilier Guards-- Ist battalion, Portman-street Barracks, Oxford-street; and 2d battalion, St. John's-wood Barracks. A strong rein forcem.-nt of artillery has already arrived at the Tower from Woolwich. Several other regiments will in all probability be quartered in the vicinity of the metropolis. The Ch e l sea Out-Pensioners will be inspected to-morrow, and those who volunteered their services on the,last pension day will receive their equipments, muskets, bayonets, swords, &c., and will be quartered at Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith, and other districts during the Exhibition. The number will ex ceed 3,000 men. With respect to the police regulations, they could not have been better carried out than for the oc casion. The metropolitan police has been increased by 900 men, making an effective force of 5,700 constables, besides superintendents, inspectors, and sergeants ; and of these, a certain number of the most experienced officers have been selected from the different divisions and formed into a regular corps of reserve., who will do_ the special duty during the Ex hibition, as they are well acquainted with all characters. The city police has also been increased by 150 men, making a , force of 650 officers, besides inspectors, sergeants, &c.There will also be a selected number as a reserve and detec tive force. Difficulty excites the mind to the dignity which sustains and finally conquers misfortune, and the ordeal re fines while it chastens.—E/iza Cool's Journal. • A locomotive engine is said to be building in New York for the Erie Railway, in which nothing but alcohol is to be Rod fez beating gig beaern. Atter a short discussion the motion was %reed to. The House then resumed.

Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the subject had been seriously consinered by the Commissioners, who had at last come to the conclusion that they could not de fair justice to all persons who had in any way been connected with the Exhibition except by refusing admission to every person who did not pay. The number of exhibitors was about 15,000, aad as 20,000 season tickets had already been purchased, it was apparent that however spacious the building might be it would be impossible for the general public to obtain convenient admission. lie might, how ever, state that her Majesty intended to visit the Exhibition on one of those Saturday mornings when it would be closed to the general public, for the purpose of a closer inspE ction than would be possible for her to do on other days ; and on that occasion the exhibitors would be admitced in order that they might have the gratification of personally explaining to her Majesty any of the articles which she might desire to inspect. HIGHWAYS (SOUTH WALES) BILL. Upon the motion for going into Committee on this Bin, Mr. NICHOLLS objected to the principle of the Bill, which he contended was nothing more than making South Wales the scene of experiment. Ile should op pose going into Committee cm the Bill, and it that were unsuccessful, he should move to except the county of Glamorgan from its operation. Mr. W. WILLIAMS thought there was no more ne cessity for this Bill in South Wales than any other part of the kingdom. After a short discussion on the propriety of extending the Bill to England, Sir G. TYLER rose to move that the House should go into Committee that day six months. (LEFT SITTING.) AYLESBURY ELECTION.—A petition has been pre sented from Thomas Bradford, complaining of this election. PARRICIDE AT WESTMINSTER.—An 'inquest was held yesterday evening before Mr. Bedford, at the Westmin ster Hospital, on view of the body of Richard Judd, aged 65, who expired in that establishment on Saturday morning, from the effects of desperate injuries about the bead. The evidence of the several witnesses, given at the Westminster police-court yesterday, and on the previous examination of the accused (Frederick Judd, the son of the deceased), hav ing been repeated, the jury, after two hours' deliberation, re turned a verdict of "Wilful Murder" against Frederick Judd. CAUTION—BANK NOTES.—We understand that some forged Bank notes for 51. are in circulation. The imita tion is very good, but the water mark has only the word "Bank," instead of the words Bank of England." FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT ON THE MERSEY.—On Saturday night a serious accident occurred on the river, by which one man lost his life and anothe- was placed in con siderable jeopardy. The steamer Sylph, from Rock-ferry, which left the slip about half-past nine o'clock, near the centre of the river passed under the stern of a flat, and came in contact with a small punt rowing in the direction of Sea combe. There were two men in the boat, but, owing to the darkness of the night and the flat being in the way, the cap tain of the Sylph was unable to see her till after the colli sion took place. The two men, in their alarm, endea voured to climb up the stern of the steamer, but finding nothing to hold by, lost their footing and fell into the water. One of the men, named Francis, got into the wheel of the Sylph, and had not the engine been stopped almost instantly, he would, together with his companion, have inevitably been lost. Captain Chadwick, as soon as he was able, let himself down into the boat which had been occupied by the men, and at length succeeded in rescuing Francis. The other man, named William Walker, a boatman. of Seacombe, was drowned. No blame is attached to the officers on board the Sylph.—Liverpool Albion. AWFUL DEATH.—On Friday an inquest was held at the Half-way House, Southwark-lane, on the body of Mr. George Merriman, aged 2.7 years. The deceased was a pub lican at East Boldon, and also carried on the business of a During blacksmith at East Boldon and Ry h ope. Bein g unfortu n4ely given to habits of intemperance , he some time a g o got into bad company at Sunderland, and was robbed of 1501. rin g last week he had been drinking to excess, and on Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, he was seen knock ing at the door of a public-house.

CHURCHES FOR THE RAGGED.—There are schools for the ragged, but w e see no churches for the t housands of ill-clad people you observe standing at the public-house doors during the hours of divine service. We that have suffered wait know that if our apparel is not such as we could wish, we feel diffidence in approaching the church or chapel, where none but well-clad people are to be found. N ow we believe that there are many wearing fustian on the Sabbath day who would be glad to attend public worship if the churches were free altogether, indeed, expressly constructed for the neighbourhoods where required, and for the class of people living in them. Let us set the warmth, comfort, al d godliness of the church against the glare and false stimulus of the public-house. Let not many thousands of the present generation go out of existence withcut the sound 'of - the Gospel.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD , REFORM ASSOCIATION. (EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.) Sir,—On Monday the 28th, the House of Commons met again after the Easter vacation. The subject of the day was the Second Reading of the Income-Tax, which was carried with comparatively little debate, without a division; the understanding being, that it was to be de bated piecemeal in Committee. This does not look as if there was any great strength against the Tax. Men are beginning to find out that the unpleasantness of a direct tax, is with sen sible men a reason for desiring to have taxation shifted into that form. The man who wants to have as little taxing as he can, will surely not desire to see the taxes in the form to which the least general resistance will be made. To direct taxes there will be a direct resistance and a stout; to indirect, an indirect resistance, a divided, and a feeble. Which of the two would a wise man clause? The Protectionists, into whose hands the game as far as concerns discussion in Parliament, has been almost entirely thrown, made good use of the opportunity. Their last talented reinforcement, fresh from the field of victory, with au advocate's skill introduced Free Trade, and announced it to have " signally failed," which was allowed to pass by default, there being in fact none of the admitted leaders of Free Trade present to answer. When men in this manner throw up their briefs, it would be wenderiul indeed if the op ponent did not triumph. lam told the Free Traders in the metropolis are beginning to take alarm at this with drawal of defence ; and the active measures the Protec tionists have in hand, are not unlikely to give a fillip to the feeling. For my own part, I should be over whelmed with shame in the recollection of the many a stout struggle I have helped in my time to make on this great subject, if I omitted any opportunity of declaring that the danger is imminent, palpable, gratuitous, for no reason but be• cause men would have it so. The years that have inter vened since the removal of the Corn Laws, were a pre cious season, for friends to tread out the fallacies which had once been so effectually scotched, and watch for new ones, and for enemies to put the pieces of the snake to gether as far as they were able. The enemies have pro ceeded coolly, ably, wisely, to do all that men could do to rally a weak cause. The triends who were to run against them, have gone asleep under their laurels as the hare might, and now it is odds if the tortoise is not at the goal. If a powerful party were allowed for half a dozen years without contradiction to go about maintaining that the less a man had the more he could eat, the public would believe them. Human annals cannot show a great cause so needlessly thrown away. If there is any saving it, it must be by the immediate revival of the old Free Trade spirit, and by rallying round, and not run ning down, the Government which is engaged to its support. It is your day of grace, and you may use it if you will. I demand of all who may think I have any charge on this matter, to note my continual protest, and acquit me of inattention to their concerns. Un Tuesday a prolonged debate on the supply of London with water; ending with bringing in a Bill. After which the House was soon counted out. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. London, April 30, 1851. THE FOOT GUARDS.—WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—ThiS morning, at a quarter to nine o'clock, an express from the Horse Guards arrived at the Infantry Barracks, Sheet-street, for the marching of four companies of the Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards to Knightsbridge Barracks, and in less than three-quarters of an hour 372 men in marching order, under the command of Colonel Goulburne, were seated in the carriages of the Great Western Railway Company, en route to Paddington. The skeleton of six companies of this bat talion, consisting of 250 men, under the command of Colonel Astle, are left to do duty at Windsor Castle. FRENCH DRAGOONS IN LONDON.—A proposal has been made to the Government to send the band of the 9th Dragoons to London, during the Exhibition, as a specimen of the military music of France. M. Sax, who is the ma nufacturer of the greater number of the musical instruments used by such bands, was the first to originate the idea, and has made an application to the Minister of War on the subject, which has been warmly supported . by M. C. Dupin, the president of the French committee.—Galignani's Mes senger. CALEB FIELD, A TALE. BY THE AUTHOR OF " MARGARET MAITLAND," &C., 1 VOL.—The author of " Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland," and " Merkland," has shifted the scene from the Scottish to the English ground, and changed the time from the present age to that of Charles the Second. " Caleb Field" is a story de signed to depict the manners and character of the English Presbyterian-Puritans, and the nature of the hardships they underwent from the persecuting .statutes of Charles. The Plague of London is made the incident round which the groups of persons are gathered. All the placid heroism of the Puritan ministers, all the terrors and horrors of the plague, and the self-devotion of Edith, the expelled minis ter's daughter, are painted with a quiet strength and grace, and. with much knowledge of the t i me s, and a thorough ap preciation of them, on the writer's own interpretation. This consists in sinking the harsher features of the Nonconforming Presbyterians, and bringing out in high relief their conscien tious sense of religious duty, their mild and uncom and bpeautitullaining virtues. The execution of the story is finished to a high degree. — spectator. STATE OF TRADE.--M A NCHESTER, Aram 29. The unsteadiness which we n oticed as having possession of the market to-day, is not removed, and in such a position of things it is dangerous to quote prices. We may, however, with safety say that there is a decline since Saturday, and we shall not be charged with unduly pressing upon holders of yarn if we say that it is fully lid. per lb. (for finer descrip tions rather more) in that article, or upon the goods mer chants, when we estimate the reduction they have, as a rule, been obliged to submit to, at Ihd. per piece. These esti mates refer to descriptions in demand; respecting others it is impossible to speculate, seeing that they are almost literally out of the market. Printing cloths are already so low that no further reduction can well be asked ; and as the pressure for reduction is upon the fabrics most required' for dis tant export, there is less irregularity with respect to the, price e d o , f a nnarrower n c t y o t h t e s a s .

CHRONICLE.— 4 tthisEastertim — ethd inven+ion of theatrical manegers is racked to find new entertainments for a " used up" public. Now performers in old charac ters, or Lew characters represented by old performers, are held forth in turn to catch stray half-crowns. The tastes of all are consulted, according to their respective preferences for light comedy or tragical melodrama. Drury-lane has not been wanting in its functions cf ca terer to the public amusement; nnd Aziid the Prodigal and The Robbcrs have alternately allured the playgoers of the metropolis. The late hours of fashionable life have materially interfered with the legitimate drama ; and it was, therefore, a brilliant idea of Mr. G. F.. Young's " National Association" to give a morn ing performance, which should combine in one re presentation the spirit of both those pieces. Regardless of expense, a corps was collected from the country, by whom The Prodigal and The Robbers have been simulta neously repraduced with great applause. The landlord and tenant, of course, suviain appropriate parts in a , composition for e. hich it would have puzzled Aristotle himself to find a me. Strange enough It seemed to us to find ourselves in the midst of a modern 0. P. riot in Drury-lane, where the managers were the assailants , and the p u bli c th e viclins. Yet s) it was—none a ere so clamorous for the Old Prices as the tenants of the green-roozn. The melodramatic company 1 of which we speck are courageously regardless of omens, fur the tick. is fer the performance were is-ned from the South Sea llou- , e; and, as we plodded wearily through the mud to Threadneedle-street, we celled to mind the touching refl ctions of Elia on that cenotaph of an exploded bubble, and pondered on the strange fatality which had led a kindred ghost to haunt these congenial courts. However, to proceed to the performance. The curtain drew up, and displayed the Duke of Richmond in a chair. We cannot flatter the managers on the rase en scene of the piece; for, con• sidering that the company were meant to per sonate a body of distressed arid ruined agricul turists, we never saw anything so out of character as the jolly faces which saluted us on every side. The vociferous delight with which the recital of the direst calamities was hailed w as a fault iu artistic composition which should be re medied before the next performance. We are sure that Mr. Lumley would never allow Lablache to act Count Ugolino at the point of death from inanition. His Grace of Richmond informed the company that he did not care fur ridicule—an insensibility on which we silently offered him our heartiest congratulations; for we felt that it was the real strength of his position, and that he was right to entrench himself behind it—nor could we fail to admire the beneficence of nature, which, through the whole range of animated life, gives the feeblest individuals their appropriate defences. The only other opening remark which was thought necessary for putting the whole affair on its proper footing—apart from a confident assertion that all " re spectable operatives" are impatient to pay more for their bread—was a reference to the probable necessity there would be for giving the manufacturers a thrashing. This invitation to a bout of social siuglestick—a game, per haps, a little dangerous for dukes to begin upon—took wonderfully, and " brought down the house" in a style that would have warmed the heart of Vincent Crum mles. We were a little surprised at seeing none of the Parliamentary leaders of the Country Party on the stage. Lord Winchilsea was the ostensible repre sentative of the Upper, and Colonel Sibthorp of the Lower House. We should, however, mention that Lord John Manners acted fugleman to the cheers, with a white pocket handkerchief, from an upper box. Mr. Stanley, we fear, is still suffering from indisposition; and Mr. Disraeli was understood to be preparing for the debate on the " water supply." But Lord Stanley's ab sence was not accounted for. Lord Winchilsea, of course, acted the " heavy father" in the business; and, with the consistency which has marked his whole poli tical career, he attributed free trade to Catholic emanci pation, and energetically appealed to ancestral wisdom in support of a policy that dates from 1815. MISS TALBOT. (From the Weekly Dispatch.) We rejoice heartily to see that the Lord Chancellor has referred proposals of marriage with Miss Talbot, made on the part of Lord Edward Howard, M.P., son of the Duke of Norfolk, and at present Vice-Chamber lain to the Queen, to the Master, for examination. Dr. Doyle, through Mr. Roll, expresses his concurrence in the application, and the lady's approbation is stated. Now, what a thorough, unanswerable proof does this fact give us of the real state of Miss Talbot's mind, and of the coercion which has been exercised upon it. A few weeks, and the young lady who had sued to be ad mitted as a postulant, against Hendren's dissuasions, is so reconciled to the world as to accept a suitor, and hope to become a bride. How clear is it that she had been environed by factitious influences, all the work of one conspiracy to secure the prey of her fortune. In what fine relief do the lies and hypocrisy of Hendren, and the reservations, if not equivocations, of the Ab bess come out. How all the little childish devices with which Roman Catholic dupes are amused, come to light ; how mean in intellect as well as poor in morality, do the tricksters appear! We take the oppor tunity of recurring to the Religious Houses Inspection Bill. The pious influences of the Dublin priesthood have been getting up a memorial to the Queen on the subject from the ladies of Dublin. By way of enforcing the clap-trap about desecrating the religious solitude of nunneries by the visitation of the magistracy, the clause in the recent measure fur preventing the sale of arsenic to women is appealed to, as if her Majesty and her whole sex were especially insulted by being denied the privilege of purchasing poison. In our opinion, indeed, the two classes are most unhappily similar. What low arts are descended to, to excite or justify resistance to an obvious duty of the Legislature, the protection of in experienced girls from freud, from superstitious terror put in fiction against them by the villany of their sham protectors. And we urge again, and most especially, by !he a xample of Miss Talbot, the need of making the civil interference eff, ctual by applying it before the taking of the vows. We have already argued the point at length, and have invoked the example of Catholic Piedmont for the accuracy of our views. But here is the example be fore our own eyes. Here is the girl who, had she been once betrayed into the oath, would evidently never have found strength to recede from its obligations however fatally she might have felt their intolerable chain. Here is the example of the way in which the minds of Catho lic young women are formed by conventical education— a dead body in the hands of a living man. The educa tion itself should not be without watching from the State where there is no honest and natural guardianship at hand to secure it from becoming the most noxious form of tyranny; but if, in the mass of public neglects, this one must pass, we must claim a final chance for the victims, a real opportunity for the forming, as well as for the deducing of free will, before life and property are handed over to the mercies of beings equally fraudulent and ignorant, and whose best conscience is only to cheat the human understanding into passive acquiescence in their own narrow and debasing routine. CATLIN'S INDIAN GALLERY. This interestb , g collection has just been renovated and re-opened. Its well-known curiosities consist of a bellicose-looking collection of North American Indian chiefs, arrayed in real costumes, with the addition of landscapes, portraits, and costumes. The landscapes, perhaps not exactly intended to be works of art, are nevertheless valuable illustrations of unexplored regions, and seem remarkable for their fidelity of, execution. When the Chinese Exhibition opens an additional interest will be afforded in the comparison of the two opposite stages of bar barity ; first that which struggles for its ex istence amid toilsome privations, and with cun ning hand:.; the other the typo of gorgeous and self contented splendour. It is pleasing to follow the rude impulses which led these American Indians to decorate their dresses with their quaint figures and to inlay their clay ripes with figurants. Those figures of wild Indiau,s, carved under the bowls of the " calumets of peace, seem the picture of happy contentment; evidently the artist had himself thoroughly relished the fumes of the pipe before he thus indulged h is fancy. The instru ments by which mothers torture their little infants to render them worthy the denomination of "Flatheads," are perfectly exquisite—thumb-screws fado in the com parison. Skins, dresses and weapons, and other accoutre ments, arrest the attention.

THE STOCK EXCHANGE. —The Exhibition excites the more interest on the Stock Exchange, as the Ist of May is always observed as a holiday there, on account of the h a lf-yearly balancing cf the books at the Bank ;of England. The holiday at the Bank, however, is one to the clerks and not to the employts, who will have a hard day's work at the books. The Stock Exchange members will he able to attend the Exhibition ceremonies with the lighter hearts, as Wednesday is what is called a settling day, and a number of accQuits will be closed tip. SPORTING NOTES; No XLV. SCRAPS FROM CHESTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Throughout a stormy day, which strongly re minded one of Inirepid's year (1845). the racing yester day, in strong contrast with that at Newmarket last week, was excellent. Lord Waterford opened the ball in the Grosvenor Stakes, by winning a pretty race, by three quarters cf a length, with his Irish daughter of the Star of Erin, dam by Tearaway, yclept Kick-up-the-Dust, 3 yrs, Est; Mark Tapley, 4 yrs, Bst 51b, second; The Cutler, 3 yrs, 6st 31b, a good third; Alonzo, 4 yrs, Bst 51b, Spot, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b, and Vanguard, 5 yrs, 9st I lb, beaten two or three lengths. I have but little he sitation in asserting that my fancy animal for the Mostyn Stakes (Lizzy) would have won, and easily too, had she not fell be fore the start, and been knocked down afterwards in the race by the favourite (The Greek), who, as I predicted, would not be nearer than third, the actual position in which he passed the post. Paddy Bird wen by a nrek, from Bethgolert. Neither Young new:horn or Lord Eglinton's colt ran. Hurry Scurry vs on the Chesterfield Stakes very easily, and bowled my jud gment over i n toto. M y remarks con cerning the P a l at i ne Stakes vsere verified to the letter. MMerry 3 under Merson's guidance, won very easily; Tightwaist second. As I imagined, neither Vermuth. Iris, or Hesse Homber g were started for this stake, Avis having been beaten 3 esterd a y in a3O sous. sweep stakes, Alderman Copeland' s Drill, or Mr. Stebbing's Guerdsman, will clear . the w i nning post first to-day for the Roodee Produce Stakes. The C up, I expect, will b e decided as I have a i r , a?y announ ce d. Ki ck-up-t h e- Dust will, in all probability, win e ` . the Sixty Guinea Piety; and Aristos the Q ueen 's Guineas. The race for the Triennial, to-morrow, will lay betwee n B ethgelert feel disposed to start. Th e field and March Bird, or Merry Bird, whichever of the latter composed of of Badajoz, Hyppolytus, ear two Mr. Osborne may forthe Dee S l ta ' Ver muth,T Taghman, Sir Rowland ren k hkees will Dece b i e tful c , pch d, 111oun tain Deer, The Black Doctor, Knoo Rnoll Queen Bee (d), and Lightfoot. The Mountain Deer is reported to be queer, but, notwithstanding,_tfoot, I must go for him or Vermuth to win; with Lightfoot, Hyppolytus, and The Black Doctor to fill the third, fourth, and fifth places. The Chester Welter Cup to Joe-o'-Sot or Cauriri. On Friday, for the Fourth Ces trian Stakes, I shall vote, without hesitation, for The Black Doctor and Vermuth to fill the first two places; Colsterdale, lanthe, Guardsman, and Drill, in thereat. The Winal Stakes may possibly fall to Mr. Lister with Lizzy, Tightwaist second, and Truth third. The Cheshire Stakes to Snowstorm or Sauter-la-Coupe. The Free Handicap to The Pilot or Forester, former for choice; Queen Bee close up. Th e E aton S ta k es to Hurry Scurry or Tightwaist, former for choice. This concludes the bill of tare for Chester.
