To attempt to panegyrize this interesting and singu lar property would be, to quote the Poet's beautiful lines— " To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper light To seek the beauteous eye of Heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess!' Mr. Robins, therefore, simply invites all who take an interest in this monumental relic (and who is there arnorgst ns does no,) to pay a visit to Stratford-on-Avon, in the f ll assurance that what he will see and feel, now that this remarkable proper ty may be pos sessed, will raise a spirit of competition hitherto unknown.

THE LATE OPI:IRATIONS IN (CANTON Itl VER. - - Correspondence relative to the operations in lihe Canton River has been just laid before Parliament by her Majes,y's command; and the following are ert tracts from the more interesting portions thereof. The first extract is of a letter floin Sir John Davis. SIR JOHN DAVIS TO COMMISSIONER KEYING. " Victoria, Hong Kong, April 2, 1847. I have to acknowledge the receipt or your Exec d lency's single reply to three of ray notes. It has always been our invariable rule to write &e -parately on every separate subject. This new I ceeding on your Excellency's part I regret to observe is insincere, and tends to confusing and evading tli.e real points at issue. I again enclose a copy of my principal and mo Lt important note, which you have passed unnotice.il. Viscount Palmerston requires reparation for the lence committed on the two sailors on the 17th tuber. I have also to demand the immediate punisl s ment of the guilty at Fuhshan on the 12th of Marc, b. You have frequently evaded the punishment of ti le aggressors on former occasions, and Lord Palmerston states it can be endured no longer. According to the general rule of nations, my Gi vernment will be compelled, by a refusal of justice, no take possession of securities for the performance (►f what is due. Perhaps it may becorqe necessary do resume possession of Chusan if our people are badl y treated at Canton with impunity. The four poinlts indispensably required are as under :- 1. The punishment of the aggressors at Canton o n the 17th of October. 2. The punishment of those at Fuhshan on the 12t h of March. 3. Sufficient ground for the dwelling of Britiil merchants at Canton. 4. The practice now, or at a fixed period, of th e right of free entry into the city. (Signed) J. F. DAVIS. SIR JOHN DAVIS TO COMMISSIONER KEYING. Canton, April 4, 1847. In pursuance of the arrangement agreed upon at our interview of this day, I beg to inclose to youit Excellency the following written specification of points which I wish to be settled : _ 1. That I should either return your Excellency':s visit in the city, or that a time be specifically named, after which there shall be a general free ingress for British subjects. 2. That British subjects shall be free from moles tation in their perambulations within the neighbour hood of Canton. 3. That the aggressions of October 17 on the two seamen be punished, and also that of March 12 ort Colonel Chesney and others, and that the names and punishments of the guilty be reported to me. 4. That British merchants be granted a building► site of about fifty acres by the river, at the corner of the Macao Passage. 5. That a site for a church be rented on this side of the river be also granted, as well as a burial ground at Whampoa. 6 That a flying bridge to connect the two factory gardens be silo v‘ed to be constructed, and that the garden walls we kept clear of Chinese huts. 7. That the river space in front of the factories be kept permanently clear of boats. As soon as the foregoing points have been settled I shall be able to re urn immediately tollung Kong. (Signed) J. F. DAVIS. The result of the operations is described in this dispatch from Sir John Davis to Lord Palmerston : Victoria, bong-Kong, April 12, 1847. My Lard—illy hurried despatches of the sth and 6th of April were intended to put your Lordship in possession of the outline of events from the 2d to the 6th inst, within which period of tour days a rapid and successful course of operations obtained for me all that I justly despaired of ever effecting by negotiation alone, and the absence from this colony, for exactly one week, of a portion of the ordinary garrison, has probably rendered all the details of an expensive ex pedition unnecessary hereafter. Every military precaution was adopted, and we reached Canton in thirty-six hours, after capturing and disabling all the means of annoyance in our rear, in spite of resistance. This was effected with 900 men of my garrison, three steamers, and a brig ; while in 1841 the same end was attained after many days by 3,000 troops, three line of battle ships, eleven frigates and sloops, and four steamers. For the de- tails of our rapidoperations I beg to refer your Lord ship to the Major-General's dispatch to Lord Grey, By the testimony of the able officers of artillery and engineers forming the staff of our garrison, the city of Canton was entirely at our merc y, an d only a word was ieciuired to involve it in helpless and in evitable ruin. Ibis catastivo. 1. 11 ,1 v four days after quitting - Honi:liorirViatztai — r l D6 - - - lieve the loss of a life. The good conduct of the troops, while in position at Canton, was equal to their promptness and discipline in their irresistible passage up the river. I now have the honour to inclose a translation of Keying's agreement. 1. The entrance to the city is not required on ac count of its value, because scarcely anybody would think it worth while to exercise the right, as we see daily at Shanghae and elsewhere; but the principle is worth our care, and the previous indefinite period is now reduced to a fixed one of two years, in which interval the confessed and admitted weakness of the Canton Government may have time to prepare the people for the change. 2. The limit for excursions is defined (as at Shang hae) by a day's journey out and home, and we have now furnished the authorities with a strong motive for restraining and punishing the aggression. 3. The punishment of those who maltreated the two seamen (required by your Lordship's dispatch of January 12, the communication of which Keying did not think proper to acknowledge) and that of the assailants on Colonel Chesney, are conceded. The sequel of this dispatch will show that I had some trouble to procure the latter to be inflicted before I quitted Canton, in the presence of our own officers. 4. The grant of additional building ground, so long denied to ourselves and the Americans, is at length obtained ; and its being on the opposite, or less populous side of the river, may be considered as an advantage. 5. The additional space fora church at Canton, and the burial grounds at Whampoa, though now for the first time obtained, are all according to treaty. 6. The bridge between the gardens, and the addi tional building in the same space, now conceded, were before the subjects of dispute, as reported in my dispatch of the 17th of March. 7. The control of the boats in front of the factories is a mere measure of police,, for which the Govern ment should be as ready as ourselves, though the point has always been neglected. - An important proclamation was issued to this effect the day after the above dispatch was written : London : Longman.

A MILL AND FOUNDRY PARTIALLY BURNT DOWN. —On Wednesday evening last, about halt-past seven o'clock, an alarmirg fire broke out in the mill and foundry, New Bank, occupied by Messrs. Bates and Barry, which at one time threatened an immense de. struction of property. The fire broke out in the model room, and almost immediately communicated to another part of the building used as a millwright's shop, and in which was a quintity of very valuable models. In a very short space of time after the fire was discovered four fire-engines were on the spot—namely, the Leeds and Yorkshire, the Halifax, Bradford and Keighley, and two of the town's engines. A plentiful supply of water was at hand, and, happily, the fire was confined within the narrow limits in which it was first discovered, and by the united exertions of the firemen and the populace was got under in about half an hour. Part of the roof of the building fell in, and the damage done in the burn ing of the models, &c., is estimated at about 1,0001., and to the building of about 3001. We are sorry to add that neither owner nor occupier were insured. By the promptitude of the arrival of the engines, and especially by the efficient services rendered by the two engines be longing to the local insurance companies, the neigh bouring cottages and the property of their occupants were saved from destruction. We observe that Mr. Beaumont, the owner, and Messrs. Bates and Berry, the occupiers of the premises, have gratefully acknowledged in our advertising columns the efficient services rendered by the public during this disastrous calamity.—Haljfax Guardian. SOUTH DEvoN.—The corn fields are ripening fast. Should the weather continue fine, as we have had it for several weeks past, harvest will shortly commence. Some early plots of corn are already cut, and housed in fine condition. Wednesday last was the warmest day we have known for years; the thermometer stood at 117. On; Sunday night we had some fine showers of rain. This is greatly wanted on high corn lands. Potatoes, &c., will also be greatly benefited. The crops of early potatoes still appear very strong and healthy, and turn out well; and the late sorts never looked finer. New potatoes, Blbs. for 6d.; green peas 6d. per peck. A ll kinds of vegetables exceedingly plentiful.

Sir,—Your dispatches of the sth and 6th of April, which I received on the 29th of last month, have enabled her Majesty's Government to judge of the motives which induced you to undtrralre the late operations in the Canton river; and I have great satisfaction in acquainting you that her Majesty's Government consider that, und er the circumstances of 4,015 14 3 203 0 0 Amount due per statement at foot Available balance The - General Central Relief Committee for Ireland, since the publication of their former report, made in the month of February, have been enabled by the generosity of a benevolent public, and in consequence of the Government having entrusted to their distribution a small part of the funds collected in England, to extend their labours considerably, as will appear from the annexed account, which shows the total number of grants made by this Committee, varying in amount from 2001. to 101. each, to have teen 1641 up to the Ist of July. The Committee have expended 55,6271. 3s. 7d., leaving a balance to their credit of 3,8121. 14s. 3d. The utmost pains and most vigilant scrutiny have been used by the Committee in distributing the funds placed at their disposal; and though tbev cannot pretend to have encountered, with their limited rescurces, the mass of misery and desti tution that has so long afflicted, and still continues to afflict, the poorer classes, yet they have the satisfaction of knowing that their labours, in common with those of other similar charitable associ :ions, have, under Providence, been the means of alleviating much distress, and diminishing to some extent the fearful amount of mortality occurring from absolute starvation or insufficiency of food. The Committee take this opportunity of informing the humane contributors to their funds, that they receive daily from all parts of Ireland the most gratifying reports of the condi ion of the growing crops, and where all are spoken of as promising, the potato crop is mentioned as hitherto affording every appearance of unusual luxuriance. They trust, therefore, that under the blessing of " the Lord of the harvest." the famine and fever-stricken peasantry may yet look forward at no distant day to other means of subsistence than such as they have been compelled to resort to; that the generous sympathies of those who have so nobly evinced their feelings for their unexampled miseries will not much longer be solicited; and that the labours of this Committee, as an alms distributing society, will then terminate.

Her Majesty's Government trust, however, that what has occurred will not operate as an encoura ment to any thoughtless or ill-disposed individuals of the British community, wantonly to provoke collision with the Chinese.

(Signed) PALMERSTOAT. IVIER ICANAFFJiIRS. NW YOR, JY 1. You have seen i t announced that Mr. Tri K st, a tr c L leri in one of the offices in Washington, was comrnissi.oned, in connexion with General Scott, to proceed to Me>dco, and negotiate a treaty'of peace with that people. The Go vernment journals have stated, that these envoy a-extra ordinary, commissioners, or whatever else they may be termed, were clothed with ample power to effiict the object of their appointment; and that the ter/ na and conditions which would be tendered to Mexico wei re of a character so honourable to bo!h nations, and so biberal, that they would certainly lead to an adjustment of I,l?esad ing difficulties. The confident manner in which these assertions vvere made, and the sources from whence they came, tentf.ed greatly to strengthen the opinion that an early peace might reasonably bb' anticipated. In this state of thirgs there were still to be _found men who were sceptical, and among the number your correspondent. In the various party journals of the United States it has been said that Messrs. Scott and Trist are not on the most friendly terms, but no explanation or details have been offered. -On the contrary, it has been cau tiously avoided by the Union, the President's organ. A colouring, however, has been given to the subjoct, according to the feelings or prejudices of the relator. I have taken more than ordinary trouble to make myself acquainted with the ,facts, which I will now give you. My information is derived from a reliable source, and may be depended upon. Before I proceed, allow me to inquire who is Mr. Trist? He was a consul at Havannah. " Thereby bangs a tale." He was lately a clerk in the state department, and distinguished himzelf by furnishing Mr. Ingersoll with the private papers in that department, which led to the attack in the House of Representatives on the cha racter of Mr. Webster, which character Mr. Webster so nobly and so triumphantly defended. Be it also remembered that President Polk refused to ratify an armistice eutered into by General Taylor ; and, it is said, declared at. the time that he would never agree to an armistice until .after a treaty of peace had been ratifit-d. Such, at any Tate, were the silly vapourings of the palace dependent*. . s Indeed, they are continued to this day. . The well informed friends of General Scott believe that Mr. Tri..t was to Mexico as a spy upon the public conduct of the General, and it possible to ruin him. Tti.-1 fdl most torribly the mortifying position in which he is phced, by being associated in the same commission with Alr. The exact sta,te of the question, as between this country and Mexico, as to the probability of a rpeedy peace, or even of a negotiation for peace, se-ms very difficult to define. Tne Administration keep every thing dark, but ana r eng them are some leaky vessels. From Mexico itself the accounts are vague and often conflicting. Nevertheless, it may be set down as sure that Mr. Trist, who has no higher station in this country than that already described, has been sent to Mexico to at tempt negotiation, and that General Scott has been re quired to defer to him even as to military movements. Previous to Mr. Trist's arrival at the head-quarters he addressed a sealed letter to the Mexican Government, under cover to General Scott, with a request that the General would forward the same, which he declined doing, but informed Mr. Trist that he held the letter subject to his order. At the lest accounts Mr. Trist had reached the head quarters of the army at Jalapa, and it was notorious there that none other than relations of the most formal civility existed between that gentleman and the Com mander-in-Chief. I am not certain, but believe they do not visit each other. This is accounted for by the fact that Mr. Trist, of his own authority, but acting doubt less under the discretionary power conferred upon him, but without thinking. it necessary to ask the co-operation of General Scott, had undertaken to propose or suggest the expediency of an armistice. When Mr. Trist communicated his project to the General, he was promptly informed, that with the circumstances in which the army is placed, cut on by supplied - troth amide, ueui - country, where it must, of necessity, subsist itself, the question of an armistice was one of purely military cognisance, and that he could not permit Mr. Trist, or any other civilian, An meddle with it. So long as he was commander of the army, and responsible for its safety, he must decide upon the measure and policy essential to that safety. Such is by well-informed men in Washington known to be the position in 'which the parties stand to each other; and as it is.quite certain that General Scott will not give way in a point of this sort, either Mr. Trist or the General must be superseded. But the latter step in the present.state of public feeling would be too - violent a one. . . Meantime all accounts from the head-quarters of the army concur in saying- that General Seott, who reached Puebla on the 28th, o,May, would hasten his march to the capital, even though he should not be able, after garrisoning Jalapa, Puebla, and Perote, to muster more than 5,000 men. The proclamation issued by General Scott a short time since, and addressed to the Mexicans, has pro duced much discussion among the American people. By some it is said to have been prepared in Washington, and transmitted to the Commander-in-chief. By others it is contended that it is the act solely of General Scott. The fact is that it was the ac: of Gen. Scott, in conformity with the wishes and advice of certain Mexican clergymen, and probably with their aid, as they were best able to judge as to the effect of language upon their people. It is believed, and I coecur in the belief, that it was first written in Sp finish or Mexican, and then translated into English. Und.r such circumstances, whatever may be thought of the policy of the measure. the whole respnn sibihry of it with the Commander-in-Chiet. The President and his Cabinet. in relatioi to it, are therefore free from all praise or censure. Having cc . uvied so much space with what I dorm in teresting details respecting Messrs. Scott and Trist, and the progress of their negotiation, I must refer you to the newspapers of the day for an account of the recent movements of the two armies. It is proper for me to state that I h k e now the Command ing G mt e i n mr t: e r r a rs l irni h cs t a e , s aann t r ci a t n hh s e m itt e d to articular t s of somewith far his d D i s e g p r a e r e t in m e e li n Department subject, however, of the is cautiouslyispreasons therefor. The whole "how the mighty are fallen. people, because its promulgation would show kept from the knowledge In regard to the authorship of the proclamation, and the sources from which its sentiments were derived, it may be well to note the fact, that General Almonte, for merly Mexican Minister in the United States, has been arrested and thrown into prison on a charge of treason able correspondence with General Scott. The President of the United States has been here, and is now on his tour to the east. He arrived in this city on Finridaa_yrn,anannedr departed on creditable, tatbhle e Monday following (yesterday).
