But a short time ago all was doubt, and in hr • arter despondency, but the change bas aledy ough,qu back s confidence, and inspired a cheerful hope r t a hat all will yet be well. Had our feat:is of a decidedly bad that misery been realised, there cannot be a doubt that I ll iserY and ruin would have been spread from one 'ad of the kingdom to the other. Our trade and o mmerce would have suffered au awful derangement, and the working-classes would have beconie distressed in propor tlon as they have 1.;m• some time been prosperous. But can it be wise to perpetuate laws which absolutely prevent us from Protecting ourselves when we are able to do so, against the Perplexities and - casualties to which we must ever be 446 1.-?, from unfavourable seasons and defective harvests. That the present corn-laws do this no man can deny, and that they must ultimately be entirely abolished all rea sonable men now fully believe. The last months have done I nore to open the eyes of the public to their inexpediency, i f not their injustice, than all other labours for the last two Years ; but :tie patience and power of the British people !re such, that with no material change fur the worse In our present trading and manufacturing relations during the coming winter, it is possible that they will let theirvoice be .!, 0 feebly heard against those laws in the next session of arliament, as to allow them still to disgrace the statute 1 2 0 0 k, and to be a curse to themselves. We hope it will not for past experience suffers us not to believe that the 4irit of reform in Governments will ever advance any fttther than it is pressed forwards by the force of the tc ) verned." The advices by the Ashburton, from New York, reports OA weather for the crops, and an active market for cotton. The improved state of feeling here, in reference to Amen -441 Securities, there is reason to hope, from the tenor of our 4 F . 001111t9, will stimulate eventually the less honest States in making,.. some exertions to pay their debts. t he have been sales of money stock this morning, and.

We have articles headed, " Chemistry in its relation to Agriculture," " Life of Lord " Say intls' Banks," ."I'ytier's History of Scotland," " Hospitals for the Insane Poor," " Colonisation and the Allotment System," " Welsh's Church History," " Mrs. Hamilton Gray's History of Etruria," and " Vestiges of the Na tural History of Creation." A fair variety of subjects, but a majority of them somewhat to ponderous for a periodical. We have been very happy to meet, under the first of these reviews, with occasional notices of a most valuable work of the father of the present Earl of Dundonald, " The relations of Chemistry to Agricul ture" (4th, Lon., 1795). It is long since we made our first acquaintance with it ; a period in which elementary treatises on the chemical properties of soils, and of various kinds of manures, were far more scarce than they are at present. With equal pleasure we recal our first perusal of another tract, the title of which forms the second item in the heading in these papers, we mean, Sir Humphrey Davy's " Elements of Agricultural Che mistry" (Lon., 1814). These works are reviewed in common with Mr. James Johnston's " Lectures,on Agri cultural Chemistry and Geology"(Edin.and Lon., 1844); and the same author's " Elements of Agricultural Che mistry and Geology" (Lon. and Edin., 1844), We can not convey a more favourable impression of the good sense and good spirit in which the reviewer has taken up this important subject, of the intimate relations sub sisting between the extension and improvement of the process of chemical discovery and analysis, and the de velopment of agricultural fecundity, than by quoting the following passage; promising, moreover, that the words we have printed in italics merit to be recorded in gold They accurately touch that which is, at once, a capital heresy in our theory of domestic agriculture, and a faint hearted and timid apology for deficient enterprise and industry. " The advocates for protection not only predict disaster and ruin to the existing agriculturists as a body, from the opening of the trade in corn, but they foretell, also, that half of the poor lands (as they call them) of the empire will be thrown out of cultivation. This statement is, we believe, made in good faith, but it is made in ignorance of the capabilities of the soil, and of the means of developing them. Most of what these writers call 'poor lands' ought rather to be called negle,ted lands. The wealth they are capable of yielding, and the mode of ex tracting it are little understood. The pressure of harder times, should they unhappily fall' on our already heavily burdened agriculturists, will lead to the discovery of this unseen wealth, and will gradually impart to the now called poor lands' some thing of the character of those now called rich. Lanis which were considered sterile and worthless a century ago, now pro duce as much as rich lands did then. Has knowledge become so stationary in our day that we may not expect the next century to produce a similar improvement ?" Neither have we much to except to in the writer's primary positions touching the duties and rights of a national agriculture. We could have wished that they had been introduced with the preliminary axiom, for which we are prepared stoutly to contend, that " climate is determined by the geological conditions of the soil." The Reviewer maintains— " Ist. That the soil of a country is intended by the Deity to maintain ►he people who live upon it. 2d. That it is the ditty of those to whom the tillage of the soil is entrusted to see that the means of living ate raised for the whole people (allowance, of course, being made for extraordinary seasons, which no skill or industry can avert. 3d. And "that, if the tillers of the soil do not raise food enough for the whole people, a free aecess to foi eign markets should be permitted, for the purpose of supplying the remainder." The remainder of the paper is devoted to the exposi tion of these principles, and is full of interesting matter, but too entirely made up of multifarious details to admit of any intwlliaible abstract. In the review of the Rev. Mr. Sidney's Life of Lord Hill, there are some sensible remarks on the deficiencies of a generally interesting book. Lord Hill's is a reputation that will ever be dear to the country of his birth. His honest, manly, frank bearing, his calm intrepidity of purpose and vigour of action, as they are most proper to, so are they best appreciatee Iby his compatriots. If anything could add to the universal and even affectionate respect which Englishmen of all ranks have ever entertained for Lord Hill, it would be supplied by the proof incidentally, and as it were unconsciously, adduced by his biographer, of the singular modesty with which this gallant and open-hearted soldier earned and reposed under his blushing honours. Mr. Sidney has certainly been somewhat too chary of these personal anecdotes, which, it is to be presumed, he must have had the best opportunities of gleaning among the family and connexions of the deceased. " Take, for instance, the important battle of the Nive, or St. Pierre. That battle was, by the common consent of both the French and English armies one of the most bloody of the whole war. It was also one of the most glorious to Lord Hill, who fought and gained it with his own troops alone, against one of the ablest French commanders, Soult, who vigorously assailed him with a force of nearly thrice his numbers. The events of the day were full of vicissitudes, and were repeatedly ominous of disaster, calling forth all Hill's talents, not merely as a skilful General, but also as a brave soldier. In any cir cumstances it must have been a most arduous task to sustain the eager attacks of the French, confident in their valour, their numbers, and their leader ; but, unhappily, the astonishing misconduct of two British Colonels, in different parts of the field, who withdrew their respective troops from action at the mo't critical moment, unexpectedly aggravated the difficulties of Hill's position to such a degree, that with an inferior leader all would have seemed irrevocably lost. He had stationed him self on a mount in the rear of his troops, from which he could descry the movements of the contending forces. On the in stant of discovering this disaster, he flew to one of the regi ments who had been thus betrayed, and wlao were burning to wipe off the disgrace, and with that regiment, supported by some other troops, he retrieved the wavering battle by a bold and vigorous charge headed by himself. All this we learn from Colonel Napier writing the general history of the war, and all this, at least, should have been contained in any biography which was to do full justice to Lord Hill, and to show the British army with what intuitive promptness he could meet those sudden emergencies, in which the indecision of a moment might have caused the loss of a battle; and with what varied resources both of prudence and daring he could bear up against apparently overwhelming dangers, until, at length, he compelled reluctant fortune to his standard, and snatched a brilliant victory, as it were, out of the very jaws of defeat." There are given some delightful letters from Hill to his sister, describing the actions he had been just pre viously engaged in with graphic simplicity and a singu lar sense of his gratitude for his hair-breadth escapes. A spirited account, also, of the brilliant affair at the bridge of Almarez (which place stands before his native Hawkstone in the patent of his barony) makes us sensi bly lament our want of space to transcribe it. " Savings Banks" is the title of a remarkable commentary on " An Appeal to the Editors of the Times newspaper by two Lay Members of the Church ;" to which, as well as Mr. Tytler's " History of Scotland," we may recur at some future opportunity. The article on the " Report of the Metropolitan Commissioners on Lunacy" is a carefully written and well reasoned argument in favour of more numerous and better organised hospitals for the house less poor. Mrs. Grey's " History of Etruria"—cer tainly one of the most interesting essays in the province of antique and classical topography which has been pro duced in our language—receives a due meed of critical notice and approbation, and the reviewer's judgment, we observe, coArins the opinion we have already recorded on the crude and unsatisfactory character of the "Ves tigs of the Natural History of Creation"—a signal fail ure in an attempt of signal temerity, but which, strange to say, has attained a fourth edition. CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY REVIE W. July, 1845. It can scarcely be expected of us to acquiesce, im plicitly, in the views and doctrines of so High Church an advocate as this able periodical. Nevertheless, it is most gratifying to us to bear testimony to the great ability and research which all the contributions to the present Number exhibit. These contributions are devoted respectively to reviews of w o rks connected with Scrip tural Geology (under which heading we meet with the Hee. C. Burton's " Lectures on the World before the Flood" and the " Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation") ; " The Presence of Christ in the Holy Christian;" " The Movement in Germany" (an excel lent essay) ; " The Natural Limits of Subscription "Savoy and Piedmont" (the Royal Dynasty of Sardinia); " The Prospects of the English Church, her Pastors, and her Poor ;" " Life of Dr. Bell ;" " Jesuits and Je suitry ;" " Rural Deans ;" " Tait's Meditationes He- braicm ;" " Endowment of Maynooth—the Debate and the Division." Of all these the one which presents itself as best adapted to our purpose is "Jesuits and Jesuitry." At the commencement of this paper we find the titles of Mr. Charles Seager's " Life and Institutes of the Jesuits ;" Michelet's and Quinet's "Des Jesuites;" Eugene Sue's "Juif Errant" (a Hebrew gentleman, whom we were, at first, astonished to find in such goodly company, but for whom the Reviewer makes out a bril liant case); and Von Duller's " Geschichte der Jesuiten." At the present moment the old imputations against the formidable sodality of Jesus, touching " that most damnable doctrine that Princes excommunicate by the Church of Rome may be lawfully deposed and mur thered," derive, from peculiar circumstances, a resus citated interest after a slumber of about two centuries. The following passages are significant : " Against the oft-repeated charge of aiding, sanc tioning, or committing regicide, M. de Ravignan de fends his order, with as much fruitless zeal and hope less intensity as he can summon to the arduous office:— There is another doctrine of which the name resembles a tempest, and appears still to heap upon us dark clouds —I mean tgrannicide: Such are the opening words of his defence ; and one would suppose that they would have been followed by an eloquent and indignant denial of the fact, with proofs substantiating a denial so elo quently and indignantly made. On the contrary, he is afraid to discuss the subject, or, perhaps, not afraid, but only obedient." I shall not discuss now (he writes) any more than before : a severe law of the Company absolutely fc.rbids me !' And yet he has not hesitated to discuss the truth . of other charges, less heavy indeed than this, the name of which, as he well says, resembles a tempest, and which still covers those it accuses as with masses of dark clouds. If he avoids - discussion, how then does he succeed in his attempt at refutation ? By ceasing to be a theologian, and condescending to history. He recounts the history of the matter, and complacently claims a favourable verdict by virtue of his recital. The substance of what he at!vances is this : that, in 1614, the General Aquaviva issued a decree which is still in force. and which expressly forbids, in virtue of holy obedience, and tinder pain of excommunication, to any priest— that he shall commit murder ? By no means, but—that he shall say that murder may be comnaitteti.' Mark the latitude of this decree, which forbids every memb.r of the society to affirm, in public, or in private, in tetiching, in writing, or in replying to those who may ask counsel, that it is allowed, under pretext of tyranny, to kill kings.' This decree, so boastfully adduced in favour of the innocence of the Jesuits, and in force now, absolutely says nothing more than.that it is unlawful for a man to say that regicide is permitted, it does not even add, that it is also unlawful to confess that regi cide is allowed under other pretexts than that of tyranny. The law of God (oar law), expressly, briefly, and with out circumlocution, says, Thou shalt do no murder. ^.... The law of Loyola, amended by the famous Aquaviva, employs a multitude of words, merely Thou shalt not say that murder may not be committed under aPy pretext ; thou shalt only refrain from affirming that it may be committed under one.' The silence here, that gives consent to many murders, has not escaped Jesuitical ingenuity ; and it were easy to show what crimes have been committed, under another - and less equivocal rule of the order, which a lys that all things done by it were for the glory of God, and that there fore the end amply sanctifies the means employed to reach it." LETTERS on the UNHEALTHY CONDITION of the LOWER CLASS DWELLINGS, especially in LARGE TOWNS ; founded on the first Repo. t on the Ma4l, of Towns Commission. By the Rev. Charles Gil dlestone, A.M. These letters are a benevolent and useful commentary on the valuable Parliamentary report mentioned in the title. The present letters relate to the points in the case proved ; the nature of the inquiry, and of the evi dence ; drainage and sewerage ; supply of water ; rid dance of refuse ; ventilation ; v arious local unhealthy influences ; public buildi ngs and assemblages ; demoral ization ; town and country compared ; application of remedies. The pamphlet is illustrated by wood cuts, maps, and plans, copied from the original Parliamentary report. THE UNREPORTED BARRISTER (From Punch.) Oh I no, they never mention me, My name is never heard ; The press has now refused to speak That unimportant word. From Court to Court I hurry me, But sad is my regret ; For even should I win a fee, No notice can I get. They bid me seek at Common Law The business others gain, But if I e'en tried Chancery My efforts would be vain. 'Tis true that many I behold Who by reporting get What I ne'er could, by pen or fee, To my extreme regret. They tell me there are many now, Who in their early day Were aided by the press, but I Don't care for what they say. I only say I've struggled hard Reporter's work to get, But can't ; and so 'gainst those who can I'll make the deadest set. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERsALus—YEsTERDAv.

At the commencement the mare went away at a good pace, and concluded the first mile one hundred and forty yards a-head, and continued steady at work.

FATAL COLLISION OFF SOUTUEND.—On Tuesday Mr. Codd, the Coroner for East Essex, resumed and concluded a lengthened inquiry at the Crooked Billet public-house, Leigh, near Southend, touching the deaths of William Gilson, aged 25, the master of a fishing-smack, and his ap prentice, William Emery Ingram, who lost their lives by being run down by the Portuguese barque Durate IV., on the 14th instant, off Southend. Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, at tended to watch the proceedings on behalf of Wil liam Spence, the Trinity pilot, who had charge of the barque at the time of the occurrence. The barque left the on nearing the Nore, off Southend, a fresh breeze sprung up. Here several vessels were tacking up the river, and many London Docks for Oporto on the day a b ove. tnentiened, and fishing-boats, amongst which was the deceased's, lying to al most stationary, with their nets out. On the approach of the barque, the deceased master got up on the fore part of his smack, and waved his hand for her to port her helm, but her of the master was smack right amid washed that of the lad yo n altered, stihnek fno a gil n o d wh s ie h nr e g. struck m The orni nbtgohd, was discovered entangled in the rigging of the wreck. They snwhoainisse,edwi ashorena s st a n n o t t l were both on deck at the time of the accident, and were evi dently killed by the force of the collision, and not from drown ing. The afternoon was very clear, the tide being about an hour before ebb. A fisherman, named Ellis, satisfactorily proved the above facts, and further stated that the crew of the barque were all foreigners. He did not k now the pilot, but, seeing a person crying and wringing his hands on the deck, he concluded that he was the pilot. Mr. Pelham addressed the jury at some length, and said that be took the whole respon sibility of the pilot's absence from that inquiry, which he had advised. He then produced a declaration agreed to by the captain, passengers, and crew of the barque. sworn before Sir C. Marshall, setting forth, that though the pilot had charge of the vessel, he had n o t the helm; she was steered by one of the seamen, a foreigner, to whom the pilot, on perceiving the dan ger, called out to " port, hard sport," but he, not understanding English, the course was not altered, and thus the unfortunate catastrophe was occasioned. The Coroner summed up, and, after a brief consultation, returned , a verdi ct of " Manslaughter against William Spence, the pilot," and the Coroner's warrant wait instantly is,ued for his apprehension. FATAL ACCIDENT.—UII Tuesday morning, about half-past four o'clock, a van laded with People, and driven by a man named William Wetherell, 25 , Derbyshire -street, Bethnal-green, was proceeding at a furious rate towards Bow fair. Just as it arrived at Bethnal-green church a poor woman, named Ann Gayton, aged 73, the wife of a sawyer, living at 2, Charles-street, Globe-road, happened to cross; Wetheiull called out witnout slackening his pate, but the pour old crea ture, either stunned with terror, or incapable from age and in firmity to rush from the danger, remained rooted to the spot, and the van, with its heavy load, passed over her body, break ing some of her limbs, crushing her jaw-bone, and inflicting several other serious injuries, of which she died in half an hour after in the London Hospital, whither she was instantly re moved. Wetherall, notwithstanding, still continued to drive on at the same furious rate, and might have escaped but for the activity of constable Kersey, 112 R, who stopped the van and took the driver into custody.

After the little excitement of the fes tival yesterday they have settled down into quiet again. After leaving the festival greund, they returnad to the tow palace, 4shere there was in the evening a bail. It was over at an early hour. Supper was served at halt past eleven, and the royal party returned to Ritsenau at two o'clock. Her Majesty, the Prince, and the Duchess of Saxe Coburg (the wife of the reigning Duke) drove out to-clay for a short time. They came into Coburg to see the museum and picture gallery. The rest of the party dispersed on pedestrian excursions to view the beauties of the surrounding scenery. This will in all probability be the history of the movements of the Court here fur the next few days—indeed, until Tuesday next, when Prince Albert's birthday is to he celebrated. The Court will leave the next day for Gotha, where they will remain tour or five days, returning by way of Fulda and Frankfort to the Rhine., on their journey home. It is expected that there will be at Gotha a grand stag hunt, or rather a &like on a very lirge scale. The place on which the festival was held yesterday presented throughout the evening, and till a late hour at night, the appearance of a fair. The whole meadow glittered with lights, and there were long lines of booths arid drinking tables all filled with merry people. An odd and grotesque addition to this scene of nocturnal revelry presented itself in the shape of al fresco cooking places, where, on fires made of heaped fir branches, enor mous gridirons were continually covered with still more enormous sausages, which were handed round among circles of greedy purchasers, on whose faces the lurid light of the fires produced an effect quite Rembrandt like. Then there was also a travelling theatre ala Ri chardson, where tumblers and posture-makers performed their jests to a gaping audience ; and gigantic merry go-round-, with hobby-horses and carriages, mounted or filled with people of both sexes, produced the most ab surd combinations of effect possible, as they whirled madly round to the music of polkas and other airs played by a capital band,. And although the people were as merry as they could be, what made this German fair so pleasing was, that there was no drunken ness or indecorum. The people here seem always to re member what is due to themselves. They do not, in the midst of their enjoyment, lose by excess the faculty of enjoying The beauty of the neighbourhood of Coburg increases upon you the longer you stay. From every point fresh views open, and with the most delightful variety. Kal lenberg, the favourite palace of the teigning Duke, dis tant about four miles from Coburg, commands some of the finest prospects. Like almost all palaces or " resi dences" around, it is perched on an eminence, which is reached by winding roads through a plantation, quite as beautiful as that which leads to Rosenau. The interior of the palace is fitted up in the most elegant and at the same time "comfortable" style. Indeed, it deserves to be so eharact,rised more than royal residences generally. There is no ostentation or display such as is met with in "show places," but everything is of the most perfect workrea;,ship, and in the most exquisite taste. This sitatt.ier palace is not built on a grand scale, but, like Rosenau, it has more the air of the residence of a private gentleman. The architecture is an odd mix ture of the turretted style with the cottage ornis, and the effect very pretty, although the materials are in,ongruous. Hete the Duke and Duchess spend the greater part of their time during the fine weather, and a more delightful retreat could not well have been selected. Like everything else in and around Saxe Ccburg, it belie, the vulgar notions entertained in Eng land as to the German style of living and manners. This Duke is fond of sporting. and keeps here a small pack of hounds. The residence is full of evidences of his in• clination this wuy. One room, for instance, is almost entirely filled with emblems of the chase, worked into all imaginable ornaments. The easy chairs are made of antlers. Another room (the Duke's private study) is filled with engravings of every sort of sporting, French and English. The country, however, from being so much waded, is not well adapted for field-sports gene rally ; but a large preserve of wild boars is maintained at a short distance from Kallefiberg. Attached to the palace is a neat private chapel, in which the English spectator is surprised to see the crucifix on the altar, as in Catholic churches. But this is a very general custom in the Lutheran churches of Germany. To-night the Queti and the chief visitors at Rosenau attend the theatre in Coburg. The performance will be Sehilier's Bride (9r Mes , ina. The Duke o f S axe Meinin gen is expected to join the dinner party to-day. COURT CIRCULAR. Le Commandeur Marques Lisboa, Brazilian Minister, and Mr. Murphy, the Mexican Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Hon. Edward Stewart, Deputy Chairman of the Customs, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday at his official residence in Down ing•street. _ _ Lord Cowley transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left town yesterday for his seat, Betchworth House, Surrey. WORCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. WORCESTER, WEDNESDAY EVENING. —The first concert was given last night, at the fine old hall of the College , the ancient refectory of the monks. The company numbered at least 600 or 700, including the elite of the city and county. Handel's Ads and Galatea formed the principal feature of the evening, and in our experience of the progress of musical skill this charming exhibition has never been more beautifully interpreted. To begin with the ladies. Miss Rainsforth sang the recita tive and following air, " Hush, ye pretty warbling quire," in a manner that won all hearts. The flageolet accompaniment of Mr. Chard rendered the whole a perfect gem. The Misses Williams took part in Ads and Galatea to night, but it was in the course of the subsequent miscellaneous performances, in singing a duet, composed by Hatton, " We are two merry laughing fairies," that the audience were, it may be said, " taken by storm," and awarded to them showers of applause, and a vociferous encore. Miss Whitnall, who, we believe, is a Liverpool lady, and who distinguished herself at Thalberg's concert in London, in Fe bruary last, sang a new ballad by Linley, " Thy spirit of love,' to which she imparted a tone of delicious melancholy worthy of the best stanzas of Moore. Passing over a brilliant concerto (Mendelssohn), by Madame Dulcken, on the piano, which excited much surprise at the mechanical acquirements of the hand and arm, we come to the great gun of the evening, Herr Standigl. To those who have heard his " I rage ! I melt ! I burn !" his " 0 raddier than the cherry I" or his " Rage, thou angry storm 1" our attempts at description would be impertinent; to those who have not heard him, they would be worse than useless. In extent of compass, flexibility, fervour, and Purity of tone, his voice has certainly never been surpassed. The delighted audience, with foot, hand, and voice, demanded a repetition of the celebrated air, " 0 ruddier than the cherry," to which he immediately acceded with the greatest good nature. The effect will not be easily forgotten by the good people of Worcester. Of Messrs. Young, Hobbs, and Machin, we have just space to state that they fully maintained their reputation, but we fancied that Mr. Pearsall was something below the mark, and presented weak points (as indeed, what lover does not ?) in his character of the unhappy Acis. The concert terminated just before midnight, with scarcely a weary eye or ear among the audience. This morning (Wednesday) the performance at the cathedral consisted of a chronological selection of anthems, and Spehr's great oratorio of " The Last Judgment." The anthems were by various composers, from Tallis down to Havergal (a rever. nd gentleman now residing in this city, and whom we have seen at the present meetings, a delighted listener and participator in the services). The cathedral was again well filled. The opening concerto was magnificently played by the band, under the leadership of Mr. Loder. Next followed the old fine anthem (Psalm c.) of Tallis, and Orlando Gibbons's full anthem " Hosannah," Blow's, Wise's, Purcell's, Croft's, and Boyce's anthems, but the gem was Croft's " God is gone up with a merry noise." This effect, including that of the quintet by Miss A. Williams, iss Whitnall, Messrs. Young, Hobbs, 'Aiachin, and horus, was truly sublime. Mr. Havergal's chant, " Give thanks" (for which he received the Gresham prize), was " butchered" in one of its movements, which was accordingly begun again. After this followed an anthem (Psalm lv.) by Mendelsstion, the first time of its public perform ance, and to which, accordingly, the musical critics had looked forward with anxiety. The composition was well sus tained by Miss Rainforth and the chorus. The oratorio of Spohr's has been well described as an all-inspiring composition; the subject itself is oue which none but a genius of the highest order would attempt in its most lofty flight. It was first per formed in this country at the Norwich Festival in 1830, and fully established Spohr's reputation. So finely was it per formed to-day, that the unprecedented circumstance of a re demand for the solo and chorus, " Blessing, honour, &e." took place The collection at the dams this morning amounted to 2511. 16s. 9d. Among the distinguished company we noticed Lord and Lady Leigh, Sir John Crmpbell, &a. The concert this evening has been provided for by an ad mirable selection. There are, among other beauties, Beethoven's overture to Egmont, and sinfonia in F major, two madrigals, " Now is the merry month of maying," and " All creatures now -kre merry-minded ;" the great scene from Oberon, " Ocean, thou mighty monster," for Miss Rainforth ; Hatton's celebrated " Revenge ;" and the song, " Haste, nor lose the favouring hour," from Der Freischutz ; with several , other pieces allotted to Staudigl, and songs and duets for the Misses Williams. NEW EXTRADITION TREATY.—A reciprocal ex tradition treaty, respecting criminals, has just been concluded between France and Prussia. The principal crimes to which this convention extends, are—murder, parricide, rape, forgery, robbery, fraudulent bankruptcy, and forging counterfeit coin. The ratifications will be executed at Berlin in the course of the resent month. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—On the 31st of December last, there were 106 patients in the hospital ; admitted during the half-year ending June last, by letters of recommendation; 198; urgent cases, without letters, 322; accidents, 40; making a total of 666. Of these, 513 were discharged either cure& or relieved, 44 had died, 11 incurable or disorderly, and 94 remain in the house. The number of out-patients during the same period was 8,359, exclusive of 173 poor married woman attended during confinement at their own homes. Since the foundation of the hospital, the total number of in patients was 6,210; out-patients (including poor married women in the midwifery department), 56,825—making a gross total of 63,035 THE GALLANT CAPTURE OF A PIRATE SLAVER BY THE P A NTALOON.—Dispatches have been received by the Government, officially confirming the accounts of the gallant capture of a pirate slaver, by the boats of her Majesty's ship Pantaloon, Captain Willson, which appeared in yesterday's Sun The Pantaloon had two men killed, and seven wounded. The pirate had seven men killed, and two wounded. CHIN ESE A N GUAGE.—A Chinese " pro fessor" has been engaged at the Collegiate Institution, Liver fro!, for the purpose of teaching the pupils the Chinese tongue, which now forms a part of the curriculum of studies. " Pro fessor Hoo Siensang," we are told, speaks the " Court dialect' of his country. CRUELTY TO A lioasE.—The driver and conductor of an omnibus were on Wednesday fined 40s. each, at Marl borough-street Police -court, for cruelly treating a horse in their omnibus. They beat the hoc , over the legs and knees with the head of the whip to make it go on. A witness whom the called, an outside passenger, who said he " knew all about horses," declared that they beat the animal no more than was necessary to make it go on, for the horse was unwell!

SlR,—After taking ten days to consider of it, Mr. Ashurst has at length ventured to publish a rejoinder to my reply of the 18th instant. I can well conceive that he has been writhing in painful indecision during this in. terval, for in the first instance he faronred me with some ten or twenty lines of this same rejoinder, and published them in your paper, four or five days ago. His friends no doubt told him that this paltry apology for an answer would never do ; and now he favours me with an ex tended ediion of it, occupying two-thirds of a column. Yet, with all its length, it is somewhat difficult to ex tract from it a single sentence that can be considered by the most good-natured man at all relevant to the issue between us. It is a common artifice with lawyers, when their case is bad, to make a great splutter and pother about points of no consequence, while they fight shy of all that they cannot answer. And such is the policy of Mr. Ashurst. I accused Mr. Ashurst, broadly and publicly, and in ail the newspapers, First, of most culpable negligence while acting, or professing to act, as the solicitor for my line in 1840, 1841, 1842, 1843, and 1844. Secondly, I accused biro of supercilious and con temptuous treatment of the Bedford Committee, in 1844, a line of conduct which led to his discharge. Thirdly, I accused hire of fraudulently appropriating to himself the patronage of the London and Manchester houses, which had been given to my line, when my line was the only direct line before the public, or in contem plation ; and, Fourthly, I accused Mtn distinctly, pointedly, and clearly, of attempting to defraud me, not only of the patronage which I had obtained, but also of my project itself, atter many fruitless attempts to discover some competing line which might at least hare the merit of originality, even if it were found utterly destitute of the higher merit of practicability. Such were the charges I brought against him, and in terms so strong and unequivocal, that without a perfect conviction nut only of their truth, but of my power to prove their truth, I dared not have expressed myself as I did. Mr. Ashurst has not had the courage, or I should rather say the attlacity, plagiarist, pirate, and attorney as he is, to offer answer or explanati.n to any of these charges, or even to grapple with them ; but bas prudently enveloped both himself and his readers in a cloud of dust and confusion, which makes it impossible to guess what the squabble is about. I suspect it is in vain to hope for a reply, although I again reiterate my accusation, and again challenge him to call a public meeting either in Llndom or Manchester, with reason able notice, and there meet me and my proofs face to face. Mr. Ashurst is too sagacious to accept the chal lenge. i'et even in this hubble-bubble letter, falsehood vies with bad taste for the ascendancy. I quote his words— •` Mr. Remington talks of meetings to support his line. There was but one meeting—that was at Bedford, got up by himself, to aid his project to go to York and Manchester." I answer that there were not less than eleven public meetings held in support of my line at the following eleven places :—namely, Barnet, St. Alban's, Luton, Ampthill, Thrapston, Wellingborough, Higham Ferrers, Kettering, Bedford, Northampton and Leek. I have on my table before me printed copies of the reso tions passed and published at each of these meetings. I may well say with Mr. Hume, " Let him take his change out of that !" Again, Mr. Ashurst says, " I have published no names in support of the line to which I have been appointed solicitor, but such as were given to me in, or subse quent to, June of this year." I answer that Mr. Ashurst has published and prefixed to his prospectus more than 100 names, which were never given at all to any particu lar line, either of his or mine, but only in favour of '` a direct line," at a time when mine was the only direct line before the public. I have before me a letter of Mr. Shepperson, one of his Committee, and of his active sup porters, addressed to Mr. Rogers, one of the present so licitors of my line, and dated the 16th of October, 1844. inclosing the names of fifty-six houses, most of which are now daily advertised by Mr. Ashurst, but which names were then obtained to sanct!on my undertaking! Will Mr. Ashurst dare to assert that he has obtained these names to any project of his own since June, 1845? If he hazards such an assertion, I will re-publish the list with Mr. Shepperson's letter, and leave them all to fight it out among themselves. But Mr. Ashurt speaks of " the line to which I have been appointed solicitor." Whit is this line to which he is appointed solicitor ? Who has appointed him ? Why does he leave it doubtful and indefinite ? It is so strange as to be almost incredible, that to this hour, when Mr. Ashurst has for months been advertising a railway com pany, and ostensibly patronised by high-sounding com mercial names, and has closed his share list, and, for anything I know or care, received thousands by way of deposit, with all the prestige of sharernarket quotations and premiums, and London and York amalgamations, he has no line at all—he has published no line at all—he has projected no scheme, no enterprise or undertaking, except that which goes by the name of " Remington's line," and which, as my acknowledged line, I have confided to the protecting care of a Committee, who shun all contact with Mr. Ashurst as they would with a walking pesti lence ! Where, then, is the line to which Mr. Ashurst is the appointed solicitor? His own prospectus describes it. in July last, as a line by " Barnet, St. Alban's, Dunstable, Luton, Ampthill, Bedford, Wellingborough, Kettering, Market Harborough, Leicester, Loughborough, Ashby de-la- Zouch, Burton-on-Trent, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Let k, Macclesfield, Stockport, and Manchester." Now this, with one exception, is precisely the line upon which I have been at work for nine years past, varying it slightly by the omission of Derby, to meet public opinion ; and this is the line, with the same single exception, which I and my patrons stand pledged to bring before Parliament— the exception is the town of Loughborough, because that town could not be included without making a detour 01 many miles. Mr. Ashurst, however, is like the ead of a Paddington omnibus, who, to entice passengers, will promise to set them down very near Hampstead-heath. If anybody will be at the trouble of examining ene of the Ordnance maps he will find that Loughborough is many miles out of the direct route ; thus, through the ingenuity of Mr. Ashurst, there is all the machinery of Provisional Committees, acting Committees, share holders, share market, solicitor, and engineer, without any ultimate object in view, except to make a line which others have projected, fostered, matured, and subscribed their money to co construct, long before he or his friends dreamt of such an undertaking. This fact will be recorded by historians hereafter as a proof of the gullibility of the public in this age of railway speculation. It is scarcely necessary to acquit myself a second time of the spiteful insinuations of Mr. Ashurst, that I have capriciously, or ignorantly varied my estimates ; his sneers do not affect me, but they may possibly mislead the public; I therefore repeat, that when I contemplated aline to York us well as Manchester, I mentioned 7,000,000/. for the capital; when the scheme was confined to Lon don and Manchester, I limited the estimates to 4,000,000/.: when it was proposed to add a branch through the Potte ries, I increased the estimate to 5,000,0001. ; the estimate of 2,000,0001., which he quotes with malicious triumph, appeared in a prospectus published in my absence from London, and without my knowledge : it was a mistake, as I readily admit, but one for which I am not account able, and which was corrected as soon as it was dis covered ; all this was explained in my former letter, nor would Mr. Ashurst have revived the 'subject if he had not felt that his only chance of escaping detection was to make the most of a mistake. I have given Mr. Ashurst enough to do ; he has found it difficult enough to invent a competing line ; he has found it yet more difficult to meet, without equivocation, the charges I have here repeated ; but I must perplex him yet a little more. Will he have the goodness to in form the public, who have been so kind as to buy his shares and supply him with money, what he proposes to do with their money beyond the, payment ,of his own costs ? He h as not surveye d any part of•tu' line at present ; and if this work is to be commenced now, I can assure him, and so oan Mr. Rastrick; that he will Rot be ready by the 30th of November: I will do all --=~='-- N ( ( c5: .. ..' t V Q, , j.~~ (\ \S. I can to assist him; and as my survey andislei-tions ( iti t nearly completed, he shall be welcome to them as soon as the solicitors have completed the book of reference. This is very liberal, considering that he has appro priated my nine years' labour without asking leave; but it will show him that I do not harbour resentment, and am willing to return good for evil ; his sharehold ers , ihowever, will do well to inquire whether he can avail himself of my liberal offer in time to comply with the standing orders ? If not, I fear that their shares wilt be at an alarming discount before the 30th of Noveui ber.—l am, Sir, yours obediently, August 28, 184. GEORGE REMINGTON. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. Massinger'e Fatal Dow,y (his chef dceuvie according to some critics, one of his greatest works according to all) was revived here on Wednesday, with all that attention to the nice eu vent which has so faveurably distin guished the management of Mrs. Warner and Phelps at this theatre. This play is the joint production of Mes singer and Nat Field, the actor—to the latter, however, we are not disposed to award any large portion of the drama, and we think that even Mr. Gifford allows too much to him. That Messinger, a poor author, was glad to avail himself of the name of Field, the popular actor, and was thus led to announce him to the world as his rollabotateur, there can be no doubt. That Field may have given hiin hints as to his stage eff. cts, &c., and that after the book was delivered at the theatre, and during the course of the rehearsals he may have " gagged - the play in various parts, we can readily believe; but there is such a perfect. unity, not only of construction but of thought and language, about the tragedy that we can net bring ourselves to think that it was the wells of more than one mind. One or two of the comedy scenes, indeed, we are disposed to assign to Field, because they are so disgusting to good taste that we feel intuitively that they are interpolations; that 'Messinger, alth..ugh he might have tolerated, could not hare written them, and it is only because Messinger could not have written them that we assign them to Field. These were of course all rigidily excised last evening, awl we do not believe that in the Fatal Dowry, as it is acted at Sadler's Wells, thete is one line of Field's, except, perhaps, the open ing scene of the second act, between Beau:wile, Della pert, and Florimel. The Fbtal Dowry was a stock play from the time of its production to the time of the great rebellion, when plays and players were proscribed, as well as thrones and kings. For royalty there was a restoration—for the drama a revolution. The works of the manly, rough, vigorous poet dramatists of the preceding age—works which were thoroughly and in tensely English, and thoroughly and intensely dramatic, were utterly neglected for the heavy heroics of Dryden, or the digusting filth of Mrs. Aphra Behn. Poor Messinger was more vilely treated than any of his contemporaries. They were suffered to rest in oblivion—he was first plundered and then abased. Rowe, having stolen a great portion of the language and plot of the Fah? Dowry, diluted down the proceeds of his theft with a sufficient quantity of maudlin sentimen tality to suit the vitiated taste of his time, and produced The Fair Peniteht. Its success was complete—FO complete that Rowe found it to his interest to represeut Messinger as an author not worth the attention of any critic or scholar. For more than a century the " Fair Penii.ebt," the most " wishy-washy " and most immoral of dramas, kept possession of the stage, to the exclusion of the Fatal Dow, y, one of the most nervous and the most moral. Even Dr. Johnson, sturdy old moralist as he has been somewhat inappropriately called (bigoted old conventionalist better describes the cha racter of the man)—even Dr. Johnson penned a heavy eulogium on the Fair Peniteht. At length, in the year 1786, Cumberland wrote three papers in his periodical (the " Observer ") for the purpose of drawing a comparison between the Fatal Dowry and the Fair Pen ent ; and when Massin ger and Rowe were thus placed in juxta•position, tire superiority of the elder writer was at once appareet. Shortly afterwards Gifford undertook his edition of May. singer ; and from that time justice has been done to the genius of this " mighty master." This play, the Fatal Dowry, was produced at Drury-lane some few years since, when Wallack appeared as Charalois. The version then produced is the one followed at Sailer's Wells. The following was the cast of last night Rochfort, Mr. G. Bennett ; Novali, Mr. H. Charalois, Mr. Henry Marston ; Young Novell, Mr. Buckingham ; Romont, Mr. Phelps ; Beaumelle, Miss Cooper ; Bellapert, Miss Lebatt ; Florimel, Miss Midden. In this version the first act and the commencement of the second are given nearly as they were written by Messinger. There is a slight alteration at the conclusion of the second act, which is also an improvement. In the scene in which Charalois accompanies his father's funeral to the gates of the prison, and is there stopped by his re e rnorselesa creditors—the procession is interrupted by the appearance of Rochfort and Beaumelle—and Rochfort, overcome by his admiration of Charalois' virtue, re leases him by paying his father's debts, and at the same time gives him his daughter. This not only gives an effective concluding scene, but avoids the awkwardness of the marraige procession following directly upon the funeral one. The manner in which the guilt of Beaumelle is discovered is necessarily altered. In the original the dis covery takes place in a manner too gross to be tolerated in these modern days. Charaleis having found a letter from young Novell to Beaumelle, appointing an assigna tion, meets the guilty .pair, and kills Novell. This alteration is also judicious, but we could wish that the adaptor had left the catastrophe, as far as it re lates to Beaumelle, in the same state in which lee found it. It is a magnificent scene—is that in the ori ginal, in which Charalois, calling upon old Rochfort to resume once more the functions of a judge, produces before him his own daughter as the criminal ; beautiful. too, is the repentance of Beaumelle, which invests her character with an interest which it is impossible to feel for her as represented in the adaptation ; and when the father sentences her solemnly to death, and seeing that sentence so unexpectedly executed by Charalois, throws himself upon the body of his dying daughter in an agony of grief, a climax has been attained perhaps the most heartrending in the course of the drama. In stead of this, however, Charalois appoints }foal fort to meet him at the tomb of his father —there brings forward his accusation, and when the old man has devoted his daughter to death shows her corpse to him and tells him judgment has been already executed. Here we have indeed the fine passionate burst of paternal anguish from Rochfort, but it is neither so natural nor so effectively delivered over the dead as over the dying daughter. The piece was admirably acted. Phelps never appeared to greater advantage than as the rough, honest, plain• speaking, bold Romont. It is one of those characters full of vigour, energy, and power, with an occasional dash of sentiment which is exactly suited to the effective, but somewhat coarse style of Phelps. The scene in which he frightens young Novell (most amusingly represented by Mr. Buckingham) into confes ftio s tn i r o te r: ne a wn n ao d s En e so x er t s o il r wt t: tv: fro y ' ad mirable.himawritteren. Bennett,promise t a o s see ß ß oc e h a effective. His last scene was beautiful. The leegubrions voice of Mr. Marston was rather advantate-eous to him than otherwise in his delineation of ISliaralois. He had evidently studied the character r: ell, and thoroughly understood his author's meanin g , As a whole his Charalois was a pathetic and scholar-like performance. but he must beware of SP 'occasional tendency to rant. The other character', were all well supported. The house was crowded. 'to excess. and the audience were en thusiastic in their applause. ADELPHI THEATRE. A new one act spectacle, entitled the Boy Lag, was 'produced here last evening. The Boy King is Lo u is XV. of France (Madam e Celeste), who was married at 15 years of age, and the action of the drama takes place on the day of his wedding. In honour of the occasion a grand fete is given at Court, at which all the youthful nobility of his own age (represented by Miss Woolgar, Miss E. Chaplin, and several of the ladies of the estab- lishment) attend, and there is a review of an army of " Infantine Infantry," who go through their exercises admirably. The tutor of the king has arranged that his Majesty aad his youthful Court shall go to bed at ten o'clock, and that himself and his coadjutors shall enjoy a good supper after. The Boy King, however, demurs to this arrangement. He determines to write " man" from that day,and as a man to sit up to supper. He finds certain blankletters decachet which have been left by his Ministers for his signature, and filling them up with the names of his tutor and those friends whom the tutor had invited to supper, he consigns them to the Bastile, and enLoys himself with his youthful friends. Eventually the Regent frees the tutor and his companion:, but not until the King and his friends have sat up to and eaten the supper, and from that ni g ht the King not only reigns, but governs. This trifle is put o n the sta ge i n exqius i ie taste. The " Infantine Infantry" are admirably drilled, and go through their exercise with the most laughable: precition. The curtain fell amidst considerable applite.se, and the piece will no doubt have a run. It was pre ceded by Sweethearts and Wives, with Munyard PA B 1 y Lackaday, the best Billy Lackaday that ha.% appeared since the days of Liston. The house was crammed- to suffocation.
