Royal Highness the Prince Chan cellor, accompanied by Professor Sedgwick, left Trinity. lodge, at hall-past eleven, for the purpose of paying visits to the different colleges, and first of all proceeded down Trinity-back-lane to Trinity-hall, where he was met at the gate by the masters and fellows, who accompanied him to the hall and library. He then proceeded to Clare Hall, and afterwards went to the Public Hall and the Geological Museum, Professor Sedgwick giving him an account of the various interesting specimens of the ante diluvian creation, including the megatheriurn and a magnificent specimen of the gigantic Irish elk, which excited the admiration of his Royal Highness. The Royal party then proceeded to Caius College, entering at the beautiful Gate of Honour, proceeding through the Gate of Humility, and went out at the Gate of Virtue, having previously inspected the hall, library, and other places connected withlhe college. The Prince Chancellor then paid a visit to the master and fellows of Corpus Christi, where he viewed the various objects of interest connected with that institution. He then went to Em manuel, where he was joined by Sir Harry Smith and the , Duke of Wellington. He also went to Queen's College, and admired the portrait of the present amiable master, 1)r. King, painted by Sir William 13eechy. He then returned to Trinity-lodge. At the levee held by the Prince Chancellor, his Royal Highness expressed his concern at the absence of the venerable and much-respected Professor of Modern History, and kindly inquired of Professor Sedgwick into the state of Professor Smyth's health. On being told that he was too ill to present himself before his Royal Highness, the Chancellor, on paying a visit to the different colleges, gave particular directions that he should be driven to St. Peter's, where he condescendingly paid his respects to the venerable Professor, who was deeply affected by the circumstance. THE PUBLIC BREAKFAST. The public breakfast took place in the grounds of Trinity College to-day, and, in its results, fully justified the interest which its announcement had excited here. The arrangements made for this elegant fete were excellent. Behind the hall of Trinity College is a quadrangular court, called Nevile's-court. This court derives its name from Dr. Thomas Nevile, master of the College, by whom it was built. It measures 228 feet on the south side, 223 on the north, 132 on the east, and 148 on the west. The hall forms the east side, the library the west, and apartments for students the north and south sides. A piazza runs along the court, with the exception of the east side, where there is a terrace. Under the piazza were arranged the tables, which were spread with pineapples, melons, grapes, and other choice fruit, in addition to viands of a more substantial nature. The pillars of the piazze were hung with festoons of flowers and evergreens, and on the terrace was a crown, flanked by the letters "V. A." This device was formed altogether of choice flowers. It was stated that the whole of these floral decorations, which had a very agreeable effect, and displayed considerable taste, were the pro. duction of Mr. Hudson, the cook of the college. The spce in the middle of the quadrangle is a green sward, which, for the occasion, had been mown very close, and was as soft and springy under the feet as a velvet pile carpet. In the middle of the court a pavilion was erected. Passing under the piazza at the west end of the court, through one of three iron gates, you enter into some beautiful grounds, and here, opposite the middle gate, the Queen's pavilion was erected, with the royal standard floating over the entrance. This pavilion was about forty feet long; it was made of red and white striped cloth, and the interior was lined with yellow and white striped muslin. A brilliantly gilt console table, surmounted by a mirror with handsome candelebra, was placed against one side of the tent. The table was covered with costly gold plate, which, combined with very beautiful vases and other table ornaments, produced a magnificent effect. At the table were placed two state chairs for the use of her Majesty and Prince Albert. The Royal pavilion, as well as the other pavilions and tents in the grouuds, were erected by Benjamin Edgington. The Cam, which flows through the grounds of the College, is crossed a little to the right of the spot where the Royal pavilion was placed by a rustic wooden bridge. On the other side of the river, and upon the terrace opposite the New Building of St. John's College, a large pavilion was erected, with a flooring for the purpose of dancing. This pavilion was 200 feet long by 36 wide, and its height appeared to be about 70 feet. In this part of the grounds, and not far removed from the larger tent just described, were placed two small ones, to which the dancers could retire when they desired refreshment; another pavilion was also erected on the bowling-green in the fellows' private garden. Bands of music were stationed at various points. At twelve o'clock the gates of the college were opened, and the company continued to arrive in quick succession until one o'clock. Visitors passed immediately from the Great Court, through the passage by the end of the hall, into Nevile's-court, descending by the flight of steps at the south end of the terrace. It would be difficult to estimate with any degree of precision the number of persons present, scattered, as they were, over every part of the grounds. It was stated that more than 2,000 individuals entered the grounds, each of whom must have paid a guinea for a ticket of admission; but, if we were to reduce that calculation by half, the assemblage would still be a very large one. The elegant dresses of the ladies sitting in groups in different parts of the grounds, or promenading on the green sward, imparted a gay aspect to the scene, and the effect was heightene d by the various orders of the academic cos tume, which was worn by the majority of the gentlemen present. Amongst the company were Sir R. and Lady Peel, Sir H. Smith, Mr. S. Rogers, Lord J. Russell, Mr. M. Manes, M.P.; Mr. Hudson, M.P.; the Hon. C. Howard and one of the Ladies Howard; the Marquis of North ampton, Sir T. Fremantle, &c. At one o'clock the Queen, Prince Albert, and their suite, entered Nevile's-court by the same passage through which the general company came in; but, in instead of descending into the court by the staircase at the south end of the terrace, she passed into it down the flight of steps in the centre of the terrace. Her Majesty leaned on the arm of Prince Waldemar, and looked ea tbroenmneelty, a w n e d l l l ; i g s b h t e g w t n o y r e (l a n d w i h e s i t e w m e ü b s e l i r n t e vder,e calls s, w i t b i F t e r e c n h o i b p c g t:ei r l ee a a jd y leei ) sbdt s rya i a l lr k doyen n t n Aeh t de l esv worthy arr T ztthz h ya e oo r ni o i y t i nh a se l p : n p a o i r r t h a n s d i d t e h e o i r r t c h o rl c eg o e ur P t ro to . description of this room, which her i a n n g d . t The rty r g a b r i t y h g t b w . o I T ' ü b n e d red: floor ioofren mays umarble, fortyagpr,rbolve e , i a n t ib e dt r o e ta s hd t e - , bookcases are handsomely carved by Gibbons. But the great number of scarce and valuable books and manu scripts they contain chiefly deserve attention. Amongst other curiosities in the library are an Egyp t i an mumm y, given by the Earl of Sandwich on his return from hi s travels, a curious marble from Athens, and a great number of curiosities brought from the South Sea Islands. There is a dried body of one of the original inhabitants of the Madeiras; a quadrant and compass of pivaess of Sir Isaac Newton , and a lock of his hair; a g of arrows, said to have been used by King Richard 111. against Henry VII., at the battle of Bosworth; a curious skeleton of a man in miniature, cut out by a shepherd's boy; a copy of King John's great charter; and a copy of a letter of indulgence from Pope Clement XII.; plans of the most celebrated churches in Europe —viz., St. Peter's at Rome, St. Sophia at Constantinople, Cathedral at Florence, Cathedral at Milan, St. Paul's, London, end the Pantheon at Rome. Here, are paint ings, in full length, of General Monk, of Sir Henry Puckering, 1)r. Nevile, Lace Barrow, Bish-p flatlet. and Charles Montague, Earl of hail ax, lli t t ri.i , rs as Chancellor of the Exchequer; also portraits of Dr. Gale, Dean of York; Mr. Gale, Abraham Cowley, Bkhop Still, and Shakspere. There are four busts on marble pedestals, two at each end, of Ray, Willoughby, Bacon, and Newton. Also, on the front of each class arc marble busts, by Roubiliac, Sir Henry Cheere, &a, of celebrated persons. After spending about a quarter of an hour in the Li brary, the royal party descended into the grounds be yond the court, and, crossing the river by the wooden brldt?:e 1) , . fore mentioned, to , k sir' lit o 'kot r,,,tion of the college gruu ci .; from a thort distance, issa a : , and her brilliant train of ceurtiels Laid jaaies, .;a mg through the walks, now hidden by and nor.' emerg ing from the clumps of chesnut and lime trees, was as interesting as it must have been novel to the great LOIsTDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY s, 1847. majority of those who witnessed it. Returning over the bridge, the Queen, Prince Albert, Prince Waldemar, and their attendants entered the royal pavilion, and partook of the refreAlments prepared for them. This was the signal for those who were fortunate enough to get near any of the tables in R'evile's-court to discuss the good things before them, and they entered upon the business with such hearty goodwill that nothing could be heard but the clattering of knives, forks, and plates, and the popping of champagne corks. The following was the bill of fare-800 cold chickens, 200 lobster salads, 50 baskets of pastry, 300 jellies, 10 tarts, 200 raised game and perigord pies, 40 chickens salads, 100 quarters of lamb, 70 hams, 150 tongues, &c. The wines were excellent ; they were supplied by Mr. Mitchell, of London, brother of Mr. Mitchell. of the Lion Hotel, in this town, and consisted of 200 dozen of Champagne, 50 dozen of claret, 150 dozen of sherry, 2,500 bottles of soda water, &c. Messrs. Hudson, of Trinity College, were the caterers ; and considering the vast numbers who partook of refresh ments supplied in the grounds, great credit is due to them for their admirable management of the Me. At about ten minutes past two o'clock the royal party left the pavilion, and retired the same way by which they had entered, amidst the cheering of the company. On reaching the passage which leads from Nevile's-court to the Great Court, the royal party turned into the hall of the college. Sir Robert and Lady Peel, and a gentleman whose name is unknown to us, happened to bo in the hall looking at the pictures which it contains; they drew back near one of the windows looking out upon the Great court, but as soon as her Majesty perceived them she advanced towards Lady Peel, and shook her cordially by the hand. Her Majesty then turned to .Sir R. Peel and engaged him in conversation for about seven minutes, after which she passed from the hall to the master's house. In about half an hour from this time the Court left Trinity Hall for the station; where Mr. Hudson and Mr. Waddington were in attendance to receive her Ma jesty. The train consisted of the same number of car riages, which were occupied in the same manner as on the journey from London. At three minutes before three o'clock the signal was given for the start, and stopping only at Bishop Stortford for three minutes, the train arrived at the Tottenham station at twenty-three minutes past four o'clock. Her Majesty was pleased to express herself much gratified with the arrangements for her reception at the railway, and the manner in which her journies along the line had been conducted. Her Majesty then entered her carriage, aceompanied by Prince Albert, and attended by the Duchess of Sutherland and the Countess of Desert, and proceeded to Buckingham Palace under the escort of a troop of Life Guards. At six o'clock many of the members of the University and their ladies who had assembled in Trinity College repaired to the dancing tent erected on the lawn oppo site the new building of St. John's College, where polkas, quadrilles, and other dances were kept up to the excel lent accompaniment of Jullien's admirable band till near ten o'clock. A very handsome medal has been struck by Messrs. Peters, Cambridge, to commemorate this installation. On the obverse is a finely-executed head of the Prince, from a miniature by Ross, with the inscrip tion, " Princeps Celsissiinus Albertus Acad. Cantab. Cancell., 1847," and on the reverse an interior of the Senate-house. Another very handsome medal has been struck by Mr. Reed, of the Market-hill, with an admirable likeness of the Prince Chancellor. Some description of the present state of the royal apartments in Trinity-lodge, as occupied by her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Chancellor, may not be uninteresting. The entrance is an Elizabethan arched porch, which leads into a grand hall, about 30 feet square. The ceiling is supported by massive oaken beams on two verd antique marble columns. The walls are covered with dark wainscoat, richly moulded sunken pannellings, terming a fine background for the sculpture with which the apartment is decorated. The floor is composed of tiles of various colours, arranged with much taste, under the immediate direction of the Master of Trinity. With the arrangements and decorations of this portion of the royal residence her Majesty and the Prince Chancellor were evidently most favourably impressed, having remained in the hall far several minutes, surveying its beauties at different times during their stay. A full-length statue of Edward VI. occupies a central position ; on the side opposite the entrance is a copy of the statue of Lord Bacon, as exe cuted by Sir T. Matsys, his secretary, in an attitude of contemplative devotion, with the inscription, " Sic sede bat." The grand staircase is constructed entirely of oak, and is covered by a magnificent carpet of crimson, pow dere'l with fleur-de-lis in gold. It leads to the green drawing-room, in which the royal party took breakfast. This room is most handsomely furnished, and contains many valuable pictures. Communicating with this is Henry VIIL's drawing-room. This noble apartment at the further end expands on either side into two fine oriel windows. Its walls are hung with full-length historical portraits of the noble patrons and distin guished members of the college; among others, we observed those of Henry VIII., Queen Elizabeth, and Newton. The coved ceiling is enriched by rib-mouldings terminating in carved pendants. The ribs are carried over the surface with that intricacy of design which marks distinctively the period of architecture to which it belongs. A corridor at the upper end of this room leads to the royal sleeping apartments, which consist of four lofty and spacious chambers, handsomely and appro priately furnished. The windows from the royal bed room command a very beautiful prospect over the Master's garden and the college grounds towards St. John'e. The dining-room underneath Henry VIII.'s room is of similar dimensions and form. Its walls are covered from the floor to the ceiling with oak panelling. The portraits of the masters from the foundation of the college ornament the walls. This room, however, was only used by her Majesty's suite. Renovations had for some time been in progress before the royal visit, under the direction of Mr. Langher. The Corporation this day agreed to an address of con. gratulation to Sir H. Smith. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the Duchess of Sutherland and the Countess of Desert, ar rived at Buckingham Palace at twenty minutes past five o'clock yesterday afternoon in an open carriage and four, escorted by a party of Lancers, from the Tottenham sta tion of the Eastern Counties Railway.

The eighth annual dinner of this society took place at the London Tavern, on Tuesday last. Mr. H. Teape, the wholesale stationer, presided on the occasion, sup ported by his partners, and by Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Hol lingworth, Mr. Gausten, Mr. Joynson, Mr. Evans, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Boyle, and indeed by nearly all the principal paper manufacturers and stationers, amounting to 90 in number. _ _ _ After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, Mr. I. E. Cooper, the honorary secretary, read a report of the proceedings of the society, from which it appeared that since the last anniversary the funds of the society, after deducting all expences, had increased by the sum of 651/. 2s. 3d., thus making the total funds of the society amount to 6,8251. 7s. ld., of which 6,7541. 13s. 9d. was invested with the Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt. _ The toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Stationers and Paper Manufacturers Provident Society" followed the report, and in proposing it the Chairman dwelt in forcible terms on the great benefits derived from this institution, and after having read a letter from Mr. Spalding, recommending the plan adopted by his own firm of rewarding the faithful services of their assistants by making them members of the society, an example which if generally followed, would have the most beneficial effects, he urged upon the meeting the necessity of making a vigorous effort to carry out the suggestion of Mr. Hollingworth, the chairman of the last anniversary, for the completion of the permanent fund, and he set the example by contributing twenty guineas himself, and by handing in a list of further donations from his friends, amounting altogether to 721. 55.; this was soon followed by a numerous list of donations from the several stewards, making a total of 6201.; and no little enthusiasm was created when Mr. Joynson, one of the vice-presidents, who had contributed fifty guineas for himself, and twenty-five guineas for his son, in order to increase the funds to 8,0001., offered to the meeting to double his contributions, provided the other contributors would follow his example, snd the challenge was accepted by the majority present, though ultimately it was thought more prudent to defer the further donations until the next anniversary, at which Mr. Joynson was requested, and agreed to take the chair, and most of those present pledged themselves to support him or the occasion; and there seemed to be entertained but little doubt that on that occasion the permanent fund of 10,0001. would be completed. Various other toasts connected with the institution and the trade followed in rapid succession, and the com pany departed about eleven o'clock, after having had one of the most successful meetings of the society. Mr. Harker officiated as toast-master with his usual ability, and the vocalists, under the direction of Mr. Ransford, added much to the pleasure of the evening, whilst the dinner was such as to keep up the reputation of the London Tavern. RESTRICTIVE LEASES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the proceedings of the self-styled " Irish Council" of Tuesday last, I find a Mr. Bourke, a D.L. in this county (Meath), stating that " it the landlords and farmers of Ireland employed a sufficiency of people to improve their lands, the poverty of the country would be greatly diminished; and if the former insisted on their tenants employing more people, they would, in a great degree, enrich both the tenantry and themselves." He is perfectly right, but was too much surrounded by the Meath graziers to grapple with the cause of in sufficient employment, or denounce the restrictive leases which palsy exertion, and pauperize the very tract of country which in this council he represented. Irish bravery is a fine expression, but Irish cowardice is never heard of, and yet it is the want of moral courage (not physical) which hoodwinks the Adminis tration, and deceives the English nation in reference to the source of Ireland's ills. The aristocratic patriot is perfectly safe in abuse, merited or the reverse, of Go vernment, but shrinks from the exposition of local abuses and domestic oppression. I could augur The Irish party struck me, from the commencement, n as oth parallel effective w t h othe well - poised r idicules from niu the exclusion ofe ; discussion at its formation meeting, or the preposterous admission that " assent to the resolutions proposed was not to be considered as binding the members to their support;" or the basis of union so ingenuously put for ward by Mr. Mansell last Tuesday being " an agreement not to differ!" Amongst the signatures to the lengthy chain of reso lutions in the first instance presented to the Premier by their deputation, my eye was caught by that of an extensive proprietor, w ho owns a thous an d acres o f grass land in this locality, and ties up his tenants by penal clauses to preserve ninety out of each hundred unbroken! while the secretary to the relief committee here applied as vainly for a contribution, as I did annually, previous to the application of the poor-law to Ireland, when forming a summer fund for the sale of meat and potatoes at half-price to the unemployed at the dead season. This course is too common in the midland counties, prevents a sufficiency of labour existing for the hands, and thus not only makes the enterprising and unfiltered farmer and the benevolent free leasing landlord suffer, by the necessity of additional poor-rates consequent on insufficient employment, but also plants in poverty the seeds of indolence and disorder. I do not think it has been mentioned by the friends of Ireland, in and out of Parliament, how essential to its interests a curb on this practice has become. I am, &c., E. TIGHE GREGORY, D.D., LL.D., Rector and Vicar of Kilmore, Meath, and Chaplain to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. Paget Priory, Kilcock, Ireland, July 3, 1847. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, JULY 7.

CANTERBURY ELECTION. On Tuesday evening a numerous and influential meet ing of the electors of Canterbury was held at the Victoria Rooms, in that city, at the invitation of the Honourable G. P. Smythe, the present Member, in order that he might render an " account of his stewardship," and set forth his claims upon their suffrages at the approaching election. At half-past eight o'clock the hall was thronged with electors of every shade of politics, Whig, Tory, and Radical, and on the motion of Mr. Sladden, Mr. Wooten was called to the chair. Shortly after wards, Mr. Smythe, accompanied by several friends, made his appearance, and was welcomed with loud cheers. As the meeting was somewhat of a convivial character, the Chairman opened the proceedings by proposing the toast of " The Queen. Mr. SMYTHE then rose, and was received with a burst of cheering which lasted several minutes. He said—Mr. Chairman and gentleman, it is impossible for me to meet so many old faces once again without some thing of emotion, were it only gratitude for their at tendance here this evening.—(Cheers.) You know why I have called you together this evening ; it is because I understand that a resolution has been come to by a sec tion of the Conservative party, which states that my anti-Protestant votes, as they are termed, incapacitate me from receiving their support. I might, were I inclined to bitterness, retort on these gentlemen, now my opponents, of the Conservative Club, and remind them that after I had recorded my vote in favour of the May floods grant—after I had voted in favour of the emanci pation of the Jews from Parliamentary and other dis abilities—l had their active support, as well on my committees as by their votes at the poll.—(Cheers.) In your local history, in the records of your corporation, in 1535, one year after the great Reformation, I have stumbled upon the following passage:—" Paid 14s. Bd. for the expense of bringing a heretic from London; and for one half-load of wood to burn him, 2d.; for gun powder, ld.; fora stake and staple, Bd."—(Cheers arid laughter.) I doubt not but there are some corporators in Canterbury who would not grudge me the 14s. Bd., or even the additional 4d., which the South-Eastern Railway would exact—(Cheers and laughter)—the gun powder, the stake, or the staple.—(Renewed cheers.) But there is this difference between the two cases. Whereas the victim of those days suffered for a creed which he heroically witnessed, the victim of these days suffers for a creed which he does not, cannot, will not entertain.—(Loud cheers.) Nay, I doubt whether, when the heat of this election shall have passed away, when Lord W inchilsea's letter, Sir Brooks Brydge's and Sir E. Deering's letter— even a longer life shalt have been forgotten—when national clubs shall be no more—and when even Conser vative societies shall have expired—(Great cheering)— I think in that day they will almost doubt whether it is not I who have been the better Protestant, in the inmost, the highest, and the truest sense of the word.—(Re newed cheering.) I, who against such odds assert the right of private judgment, and the freedom of particular opinion against those who in their aggregate infallibity attempt to proscribe and persecute independence of opinion as intolerantly, as unwisely, and as fruitlessly as Rome ever did—fruitlessly, because I believe that if this section of Conservatives could send whom they chose to Parliament, the common sense of the House of Commons would nullify that man's votes and shock him out of his prepossessions.—(Great cheering.) lam not sorry this resolution has been passed against me, because it gives me an opportunity of answering charges which have been brought against me week after week, in your local papers and otherwise, for the last six years.—(Cheers.) I shall not shirk them; but I believe they may be con densed into two accusations. In the first place, that I have deserted the Tory party by the . advocacy of Liberal opinions ; and in the second, that I have apostatised from my particular professions.—(llear, hear.) I give both these charges the most absolute,. the most complete, and the most indignant denial.-(Cheers.) I must, I am afraid, bore you with much that is of a personal nature; but when was a person attacked and an English assembly refused to listen to his defence?— (Cheers.) lam upon my defence.—(Renewed cheeing.) I must recal to to your recollection the circumstances of the ease. When lam accused of deserting the Tory party, I can only regret the youth, the earnestness, the energy, and the passion, with which as a mere boy I asserted before you the seeming paradox, which the Legislature has since confirmed in many an enactment, namely, that the Tory party is the party of progress and of the people.---(Cheers.) I came first before you al most a boy, though I felt, as I believe, that I had a true theory and a true idea, which others, my contempora ries, had borne triumphant over an academical society, and which a man of genius has since made familiar to the public by his writings, I came before you at a time when Lord Melbourne's Ministry was in the agonies of dissolution; but did I then adopt one word or one syl lable of the vulgar slang which had gone abroad? Did I say one word of " No Popery"—of a " bedchamber plot"—or of "an Owenite Administration?"—(Hear.) Did I affirm any one of the enormous lies which drove that Ministry from office?—(Cheers.) My charge against the Minister was that no man since the days of Lord Carteret had put the Crown in so false a position. I then used a figure to say, " That a horse which went forward was a good horse; a horse which went backward was a bad horse; but than any horse was better than a dead horse."—Cheers and laughter.) Such was the reason of my opposition to the Melbourne Ministry. You returned me to Parliament, and when there, I am not ashamed to confess that I was awed by the Nemesis of that great assembly, and that, in Parliamentary parlance, " I broke down."—(llear, hear.) Notwith standing this, your kindness shortly afterwards again returned me as your Member at the head of the poll. Having gone through these disagreeable details—for I wish to evade no mortification—l will now allude to an attempt frequently made, no doubt in Canterbury as well as elsewhere, to represent that dissolution as caused solely and exclusively by the principles of free trade and protection being at issue. I challenge even the shadow of a shade of discrepancy between my votes in Parliament and my professions at the hustings. I came in, as I have said, with others, full of hot thoughts and ardent speculations, and we sat by men who now, for sooth, are patriots, but who then had but one rule, which adapted itself to all things, to all measures, to all debates, and to all votes—the will of the sole Minister. I spoke, perhaps, of some ancient privileges, and the most intrepid thinkers would shake their heads and say, " Listen to Sir Robert Peel," and the less intrepid thinkers would shake their heads and say, " Listen to Sir Thomas Fremantle."—(Laughter.) When persons were thus substituted for principles, personalities became a duty with those who wished to substitute principles for personalities. " I am no more ashamed," said Mr. Southey, " of having been a republican than of being a boy." And lam no more ashamed of having used strong language against the Minister than I am of being a boy. —(Hear.) But now that I appear before you to render an account of my parliamentary conduct, I would fain take this public opportunity of making an apology to a great man, and I cannot be suspected of adulation, for he has arrived at an age when no man except one ever led the House of Commons—a great man who has since shown that his heart was all the while with the people. In the year 1842 I had just come from witnessing all the horrors of starvation in the manufacturing districts, and I sup ported the Corn Bill of that year as an instalment of a wiser policy; but I attacked the Ministar because it was only an instalment. In the year 1846 I had the satisfac tion of joining a dying Administration, which only sought to live for the purpose of perfecting that measure of free trade of which the other was the instalment. — (Cheers.) In 1843 I almost seceded from the party of Sir Robert Peel in consequence of his Irish policy. In 1845 Sir Robert Peel changed his policy to wards Ireland, in the sense of which I had pre viously voted and spoken, and I had the satisfaction of voting for that increased grant to Maynooth which I had been the first in the last Parliament to recommend. I have disproved by date and fact and circumstance the charge of inconsistency.—(Cheers.) But, having said that, I say frankly I care very little whether the charge be true or not true—(Loud cheers)—for there is nothing more admirable than for a man to change his opinions upon conviction.—(Cheers.) If I had changed my opinion from conviction, I would gladly have pleaded guilty to the charge, but as it so happened that I had not, I could not permit that charge to be made without refuting it.—(Cheers.) But while I know nothing more admirable than for a man to change upon conviction, I know nothing more ridiculous than the infinitessimal lit tleness of Parliamentary politics, and the boast of having been perpetually either Tweedledum or Tweedledee.— (Loud cheers and laughter.) There is a man, the wisest of modern times, a German, named Niebuhr, who says that the English of the present day are like the Romans of the third century. With all due deference to so great an authority, I am more reminded by them of the Greeks.—(Hear, hear.) In an old city, older than Can terbury, once upon a time, grave men, grown men, illus trious senators, spent their whole lifetime in disputing, and they took great pleasure in the dispute, upon the relative merits of blue and red and green.— (Hear, hear.) But the people of Byzantium were wiser than the people of England; for there at least the colours were salient and the dresses new; but in our time and in our country, the dresses are so worn that you can no longer distinguieh the colours.—(Cheers and laughter.) The next point of any moment is the question of education.—(Great cheering.) lam bound to say I looked with little satisfaction on the scheme proposed and inaugurated the other day by Lord John Russell. I think it was meagre as a measure of state, and offensive as a matter of re,igion.—(Cheers.) I think that it acceded what to all intents and purposes amounted to a monopoly to that Established Church which has, by the confession of the best and wisest of her ministers, been guilty of neglecting for certainly more than a century her only duty, that of teaching her own chil dren.—(Loud cheers.) •And why has she been guilty of this ? Because she is lying bound down pd fettered, as our northern neighbours would say, in a th s e e lowest dungeons of Eradiate imprisonment—beca she has been compelled to accept the alms of th e _, State without its confidence ; moneys upon i onet av our. but at the same time disfavour upon dis, But some may ask why, with these op inions, be d you not vote against the measure? I .tell you, frank cause I be ieve the want of educatm nss en thisogrea scheme, with country, that any scheme of education, i with all its vices, was better t han none at ev all.—(Cheers.) andl (Cheers.) There is another subject w hich has been frequently much canvassed of late—the endowment of the Ronan Catholic priesthood in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) lam in principle opposed in this o ur time to the all-general en dowments of religions.—(Cheers.) I will not say to the p ar ti a l payment of all religionaries , for there may arise particular provincial and colonial cases of necessity ; but in principle I am an opponent to general endow ments.— (Cheers . ) In the old days the priest, was thought by the public to be the rrpre,enZitive of truth, and t h e state, its vicar, eon-eui , cmtly, Pr" 1 i'lL r ienliV enough,aukbi,,,il)l. , rittrs 0.6 W ;save puuiehee p criminals. In these days the priest is thought to be the representative of heaven, and the less he has to say to anything, under the earth, and in earth's bowels, in the obape of minerals, the better,—(l4wghter.) There vial ia great man great, though be dare not invade the homes of the men of Kent—(Cheers) —Napoleon Bona parte, who said that the Irish Roman Cathclic priesthood in Ireland were the moral captains of the people. Why, because they are independent and unpaid. Endow them, and they will immediately lose their influence. — (Cheers.) That is my deliberate opinion. With these principles and opinions, you may readily believe that I shall not easily bring myself to vote for the endowment of the Irish priesthood.—(Cheers.) And now, although I am obliged, for the sake of time, to omit many sub jects, on which, however, I shall be ready to answer, if you will ask me questions, I IN ill pass to that which is considered to be the holy of holies, the occupancy of Downing-street.—(Cheers.) And as there is little enough as yet of public significancy about this Ministry, I do not know that I can do better than to quote what I said six years ago of Lord John Russell, the chief and champion and best representative of modern Whiggism, in the figurative language of a boy, " that it was impossible to speak without admira tion of a statesman who reminded him of a saying of a great imperialist general, who made it his proudest boast that he had fought two campaigns against the Conde and Turenne, and had not been con quered. Lord John Russell had fought more than two campaigns against Stanley, more chivalric than Conde; and against Peel, more far-seeing than Turenne; and had not been conquered."—(Cheers.) B ut s i nce I spoke that sentence six years have passed away, and Lord John Russell has not only not been conquered, but has himself conquered both Lord Stanley and Sir Robert.—(Great cheers.) He has realised to the furthest and the fullest the prophecies of his coming greatness which fell from the greatest of our political poets, Mr. Thomas Moore, and the most eloquent of our statesmen, Mr. Canning.— (Cheers.) But notwithstanding the greatness of his position, and the greater greatness in himself, I may, perhaps, be permitted to say—l, who have that Sydney blood in my veins which was shed on the same scaffold with his - Russell blood in defence of the liberties of Eng land—(Great cheering)—that he remembers too much and too often that he is a Russell and a Whig, and too little and too late that he is the Prime Minister of a country which is sick—heartily and cordially sick— of all the barren inanities of party.—(Great cheering.) It has been to me a reproach in politics that my watch is always five minutes too fast.—(" Hear," and laughter.) You will probably think that in saying how I will act towards Lord John Russell my watch is going too fast, and I am already supposing myself once more your Member.—(Cheers.) Flattered by such a meeting as the present—guaranteed by your sympathy and support —I believe I all for the third time be your Member.- 7 -- ( Tremendous cheering.) Under all circumstances I shall go to the poll.—(Cheers.) Except in a time of movement, I must admit that we men of theory make indifferent Parliament men. My own temper is such that I will frankly say that in these last vicissitudes I would rather have been one of the journalists who led than one of the statesman who followed.—(Loud cheers.) And if I shall be ostracised and deposed by you —(Loud cries of "No, non—to exercise thenceforth the free pen of an independent intelligence, I shall not personally blame the instigators of a change which shall hinder and prevent me from mingling in the small dis sensions of modern legislation.—(Loud cheers.) But whatever the event, be it yours now to acquit me of the charges brought against me ; be yours, or at least of the gentle-judging and generous among you, the part to try me by no vulgar standard of success ; to reproach me not that I have been a patriot when a Government was strong, and a placeman when a Government was weak, but for that very reason to sympathise with and adopt my public conduct. Be it mine to assure you that, had I to renew it, I would speak again as I have spoken, and vote once more as I have voted—to rejoice that I at tacked Sir Robert Peel when his Administration stag nated beneath the superincumbent slime of aristocratic approbation—to rejoice still more that I joined him when his band was free, and he struck the niggard rock of Parliamentary bounty, and the waters flowed forth, and the people of England were permitted, even in our time, to feel the invigorating influence of a liberal and beneficent, but not the less an ancient and ;Tory policy. —(The lion. Gentleman resumed his seat amidst reite rated rounds of enthusiastic applause). The meeting broke up at twelve o'clock. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. Yesterday a sailing match for a purse of 100 sove reigns, and which, on account of the extensive publica tion given to the contest, excited very great interest, took place on the Thames, the starting point being at Erith, the course thence to the Nore light, and back again to the starting-point, a distance of close on sixty miles. The fact of the prize being in the current coin of the realm, and for such a large amount, induced a greater number of entries than usual, those entries comprising yachts belonging to the principal sailing clubs of the kingdom. The chief regulation in this match was that for difference of tonnage half minute time per ton was allowed upon yachts coming in. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the morning was propitious for an aquatic fete of this description, and that in consequence the steamers, viz., Meteor, Gem, Ariel, and Waterman No. 10, engaged to accompany the competing yachts, were at the appointed hour fully freighted with fashionable spectators. The Meteor car ried the Commodore, Lord A. Paget; the Vice-Commo dore, Captain Barwell; the Committee, end their numer ous friends. The Marquis of Anglesea was present in his beautiful yacht the Pearl, and so was the Duke of Beaufort, accompanied by the Earl of Cardigan, in his Grace's yacht the Intrepid. At a quarter past eleven the Noble Commodore gave the signal for preparing to start, and of the nineteen yachts which had been entered eleven obeyed the signal, and took their positions in the following order. The station figured No. 1 being the nearest to the southern and No. 11 to the north shore:- No. 1. R.T.Y.C., Chamois, 8 tons, Southampton, Smyth Pigott, Esq. 2. R.T.Y.C., Eclipse, 50 tons, Weymouth, T. P. Wick ham, Esq. 3. R.T.Y.C., Princess Olga, 35 tons, Cowes, T. B. Rutherford, Esq. 4. R.T.Y.C., Secret, 25 tons, London, T. W. Smith, Esq. 5. R.T.Y.C., Ino, 25 tons, London, H. Gibson, Esq. 6. R.T.Y.C., Bianca, 31 tons, Cowes, Lord C. Paget. 7. R.T.Y.C., Snake, 20 tons, Poole, T. and M. Stan hill, Esqs. 8. R.W.Y.C., Lily of Devon, 31 tons, Plymouth, W. F. Moore, R=l. 9. R.T.Y.C., Blue Bell, 31 tons, London, Twisden Hodges, Esq. 10. R.T.Y.C., Little Gauntlet, 15 tons, Portsmouth, A. Fountaine, Esq. 11. R.T.Y.C., Antagonist, 25 tons, London, G. P. Nayler, Esq. The signal gun for starting was fired at twenty-six minutes past eleven, upon which the different crews hoisted canvass with equal rapidity and address, no sen sible advantage being gained in this point by one over the other. The yachts immediately canted round, the Snake and the Bianca taking the lead, the Eclipse took up the third position, but soon exchanged it for the first, the Secret a good fourth, and the Ino following close in the fifth berth, all the others well up. They maintained this position to the Nore light with no other remarkable change or incident save the following. The Eclipse in Long Reach got the first position, the Secret obtaining the second. In the Lower Hope the Bianca abandoned all hope, and the little Chamois, desponding of success, followed suit, and declined the contest. As the yachts were rounding the Nore light the excitement was momentarily diverted by the interesting coup d'cril presented by the graceful manoeuvring of the many assembled yachts, and by the swelling sails of several score of trading vessels outward bound. Tho Nore light was rounded in the following time and order: -Eclipse, 2h. 40m. 50s. ,• Secret, 26. 46m. 255.; Snake, 2h. 54m. 243.; Princess Olga, 2h. 55m. 45.; Ino, 2h. 55m. 205.; Antagonist, 2h. 56m.; Blue Bell, 2h. 58m. ; Lily o f Devon, 2h. 58m. 2s. ; Gauntlet, 3h. 7m. 40s. In rounding, the Ino weathers on the Princess Olga, and cuts her out, amidst great cheering ; the Blue Bell doing the like to the Lily of Devon. In the upper part of Sea Reach the Blue Bell overhauls the Snake and Ino, and a beautiful race ensued between the two latter boats. From this point home no important change took place in the relative positions of the yachts, and the interest was centred in the leading ones, the Eclipse and Secret. The former having retained and gradually increased the six minutes' lead obtained at the Nore, and the excitement therefore being caused by the doubt as to whether she would increase her lead to twelve minutes and a half, the time required by her superior tonnage to ensure her victory over her lesser opponent, the Secret. This she nearly succeeded in doing, to the admiration of all, and only lost by the short space of twenty-five seconds. It was curious to witness the astonishment of the uninitiated on learning the Secret to be a winner, though she had been eclipsed by a distance of nearly two miles by the loser. The boats reached the goal in the following dine and order:- h. m. s. Eclipse Secret 6 15 4 6 Blue Bell 6 26 4 0 Antagonist Snake ........................... .. 6 33 6 Ino - Lily of Devon Princess Olga ••.. ................ 6 38 18 — r a ll w eathers." The purse and its contents were handed over by the Noble Commodor e with a congratulatory address to b h o a a v r e d c t all be ed m h e e t r e , or, " the bo fo the s pirited owner o f the Secret, a craft almost invariably again success ful, no ma tter what wind blows. She has min' at least both T prove h od arrangementswhat we with respect to amusement and comfort, every thing that the most fastidious could desire; and she were landed her numerous and hig hly satisfied company at London bridge at a quarter to nine in the evening. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) JULY 7, 1847.

Sin t —As sanatory measures are just now so properly engaging the attention of the public, allow me not merely to suggest, but to urge (through your columns) an atten tion to one very simple practice more conducive to health, and a greater preventive to disease than any other single measure I have seen recommended or en+ forced, and it has the important character of being immediate in its effecte, and of no trouble or expence in its application. Do not expect, Sir, some wonderful announcement, or some fascinating mystery! No. It is simply the plain little practice of leaving your bedroom window a little open at the top while sleeping, both in winter and summer. I do not come before you as a theorist or an inexperienced teacher, in thus calling loudly upon every family to adopt this healthful practice. I am the father of ten children all in pure health, and have (thank God) never lost one, although their natural constitutions were not robust. But in addition to the salutary effect of the practice in my own family, wherever I have advised others to try its effects, it has invariably been found to be both pleasant and beneficial. Bat, Sir, does the subject need the influence of experi ence to enforce its truth ? Are not reason and common sense sufficient, when once the idea has been suggested ? Why should we shut ourselves in a closed room eight, ten, and twelve hours every night, while we are urging the importance of constant fresh air in the day? But when an error has got hold of us, it is astonish ing sometimes how tenaciously it will stick. Most dis tressing sensations, extreme lassitude, and sleepless tett h n hhhou i ee g el tdyyi hr, truth td, constitution, 000d w nwr s i c l ot oa l si ttnucus:fhtto• suffer mo t ry with some other suoiuwtl some thdhhhjoeei nucro k otht e ti e m p bale t g h hih e nnay i a r lrisy ey rse e eo s v,: o bl p s,af e vi,dr n shi t aid o csho e :h v r e oee r a y antol t ilh h gy ! tiig g sf a s cold,uch every a n nightthe destruction w orkwork s up upon the physical powers. But I can assure them they need not fear taking cold by opening their windows, and ob taining healthful sleep. One more remark and I have done. Their doctor, unless he be a thinking man, will very likely, with a per fectly good intention (though false judgment) prevent their adopting this almost specific against general disease, by saying " Oh, it is bad to breathe night air." This has been said to me by various medical men, but I have had in reply one question, which generally either silenced or converted them, for I have asked, " Well, Doctor, will you then please to tell me what air I am to breathe in the night but night air ?" It is, I think, very clear that the only question is, whether we shall breathe, for eight or ten hours, close, foul, destructive, night air, or have a moderate supply of that which is fresh and pure?—for night air of some sort we must breathe. Yours obediently, J. D. The only care necessary is not to have a current or draught pass over the bed by any open window or door being on the other side.

LEIGH HUNT.—THE AMATEUR DRAMATIC PER FORMANCE.—The sub-committee appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the amateur dramatic per formance to be given by Mr. Charles Dickens and his friends for the benefit of Mr. Hunt, have been actively engaged in the duties they have undertaken. We understand that our Theatre Royal is secured, and we believe the performance will take place on the evening of Wednesday, the 28th inst. Full particulars will be announced in our next publication. A public meeting is to be held in Liverpool this day (Wednesday) to carry out the arrangements for the performance there.—Man chester Guardian. CONVICTION OF THE TWO FEMALE RAILWAY PICKPOCKETS AT BRISTOL.—There appeared in our journal, a short time since, an account of the appre hension, at Bristol, of two elegantly-attired females, giving their names Ann Loft and Caroline Smith, upon a charge of picking the pocket of a lady named Barnard, while waiting at the booking-office of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, at Bristol, end stealing a purse con taining seven five pound-notes. These parties, who, there is reason to believe, have been engaged for some time past in levying contributions on railway and steam packet passengers, were tried yesterday at the Bristol Quarter Sessions, before the Recorder, R. B. Crowley; Esq. Evidence was adduced to show that as Mrs. Bar nard was sitting in the waiting-room at the station, the prisoners pushed aga;nst her several times, and at length left the office ; and that Mrs. Barnard having felt for and missed her purse, they were pursued and overtaken in. the London booking-office of the Great Western Rail way. They at first indignantly denied the charge, and threatened an action for defamation ; but upon being seized one of them dropped the purse and money. The jury found them both guilty, and they were sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. DEATH OF ANOTHER PARISH MEDICAL OFFICER. —Mr. Curtis, one of the district parish surgeons for St. Pancras, and registrar for Camden-town, has died of fever. It is said that the incipient symptoms of his disease were precisely similar to those that characterised the fatal illness which carried off Dr. Lynch. Mr. Curtis is the third parish medical officer that, within a few days, has fallen a victim to fever in the metropolis. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston give a grand dinner on Saturday next to his Royal Highness Prince Waldemar of Prussia, and her Ladyship will afterwards receive a brilliant circle of the aristocracy. Count Henrie de Beam is the new attache to the French embassy. The Noble Count bas arrived at Manchester House from Paris. The Cologne Gazette contradicts the report of a marriage between the reigning Duke of Brunswick and a Princess of Mecklenburg-Schewrin. EXTENSION OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—Yes terday the extension of the South-Western Railway electric telegraph to the Brighton, South Coast, and South-Eastern termini at London-bridge commenced.. The conducting wires are now being carried from the branch in the Waterloo-road, through the New -cut, crossing the Blackfriars-road opposite Rowland Hill's Chapel, passing through Union-street into High-street, Southwark, and from thence to the termini at London bridge. This arrangement completes the electric com munication to all places reached by railway south of the metropolis. ROBBERY OF FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS WORTH Or WATCHES, JEWELLERY, &c.—Yesterday information was received by the police that a young man, named John Daniell, had absconded from the service of his employers, Messrs. Walker and Brown, jewellers, of No.llo, Leadenhall-street, with a large quantity of gold and silver watches, jewellery, &c., with which it is believed he is making:his way to America. 504 reward is offered for his apprehension. LOLA MONTES AGAIN.—The Cologne Gazette of the 3d gives the following: —" From letters received from Bavaria, it appears that the animosities excited at the beginning of this year against Lola Montes are far from having subsided. On passing through Nuremberg she has been coldly received, but with decency. At Bamberg, however, it was quite different. On arriving at the station she was not only hissed and hooted, but stones thrown at her carriage, and at one moment she presented her pistols, and threatened to punish her assailants. On arriving at the hotel where she alighted it became necessary to shut the gates to prevent the populace from entering and insulting her. These de monstrations assumed a character so decidedly hosttilea! that although she had intended to pass the noighrney.l Bamberg, she resolved upon continuing heerd of f u these The higher classes of the town were ask_ 12 0 excesses, and yet they in a measure will have to pay received the penalty; for, it is said, an order by the chief magistrate of the town, inhsasisttegnupon his °Upon Lola Montes, appointing a deputation to and apologise for the treatment she bad received at Bamberg.'
