Mexico continues to be desolated, not merely by its infamous invaders, but in a very particular and lamentable:imanner by internal dissensions. The Aztec Empire appears to be crumbling away as much from the disastrous anarchy caused by its own traitorous children as from the vigorous assaults of its unprincipled neighbours. Instead of banding to gether for the protection of their common country, for the vindication of their collective rights, and for the maintenance of the national liberty, the Mexicans are literally conniving at the movements of the in vading armies. Formerly they have been accused of pusillanimity, now they may with equal reason be scorned for their perfidious conduct in the abandon ment of the barriers of fatherland. The vast ma jority of the citizens of that magnificent republic— that republic which Nature has qualified to be the pivot upon which the commerce of an entire hemi sphere should turn, whose soil is fruitful beyond the fruitfulness of must tropical territories, whose shores are washed by the surges of the Atlantic and the Pacific, whose eastern and western limits are indented by noble harbours, whose surf ace is diversified by mountain and plain, by wold and valley, by prairie and dingle, whose pastures are irrigated by plenteous and fructifying streams, whose highroads are intended to be the channels of commu nication between the two great continents of America —the vast majority of the citizens of that magni ficent republic are showing themselves incompetent to appreciate the blessings of national independence, or to assume the protection of their national heritage. Hitherto the free populations of Europe have regarded the progress of events in Mexico with interest, if not with consternation. The enemies of that ruthless spirit which strives at all hazards to assure to its possessor the bloody spoil of territorial aggrandizement —the enemies to that damnable spirit which has repeat edly been the accursedsequence of despotism, but which has now-a-days become the incompatible incitement of a federative constitution, have looked heretofore with abhorrence upon the southward progress of the Ame rican soldiers through the Rio Grande, and with sym pathy upon the straggling defence made by the Mexi can forces. If circumstances similar to those which have recently transpired, and which have just reached us by the arrival of the Hibernia steam-ship, be re newed with much frequency in Mexico, all the gene rous sympathies of the lovers of civil liberty for its inhabitants will evaporate, and the various provinces will in time be portioned out as the rewards of a lawless expedition. ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA has been re ceived in the capital with yells, with hisses, with execrations ! He has been stoned in the streets like a malefactor ! For what ? For risking his personal safety by entering his agonised land, through the blockading squadron of its enemies ! For abandoning the secure quietude of the Havannahs for the stormy perils of a beleaguered state ! For refusing the Pre sidentship when he had only to stretch forth his hand and grasp the sword of a Dictator ! For voluntarily accumulating on his own head the ven geance of the advancing legions, by becoming the soldier and the captain of his native country t For accepting the onerous responsibilities of government when it was most peculiarly sur rounded by internal and external dangers--when it was directly menaced by the uplifted brand of the United States, and by the mines of the treachery, and conspiracy, and disguised insubordination of its own citizens ! SANTA ANNA has experienced the fickleness of democracy as strikingly as ever did MILTIADES, Or TWEMISTOCLES, Or ARISTIDES, or ALCIBIADES, or EPAMINONDAS. Having :mortgaged Ms own personal estates for the prosecution of the war in defence of Mexico, SANTA ANNA is stoned by its ungrateful and insensate popu lation. The great ISABELLA I. of Spain pawned her jewels to furnish COLON with the means of carrying into effect his project for the discovery of a New World. For the defence of a portion of that new world SANTA ANNA has pawned his patrimony, and has since been reviled by the descendants of the subjects of that great ISABELLA. In a communication addressed on the 13th of May to the Moxican Minister of War and Marine, Presi dent SANTA ANNA alludes thus to the supposition that the United States were deceived in admitting him through their blockading squadron in the expec tation of his abandoning the republic to their pos session :—" Indeed, most excellent Sir, the United States did deceive themselves when they dreamed that I was capable of betraying my country. Before this should happen I would prefer to be consumed by fire, and my ashes should be scattered so that not a single atom were left." "would to Gov," he exclaims in con tinuation, " would to GOD the Mexicans would open their eyes to discover the poison in the golden chalice that the perfidious SCOTT proffers !" But, no : :he patriot who endeavours to animate them with some faint sense of that love of country which burns in his own bosom is scorned, is hissed, is stoned. " GOD and Liberty !" his battle cry, is drowned in the din of a cowardly and licentious rabble. Instead of meeting with co-operation he is compelled to resign the office of President. He endeavours to fortify the outposts of Guadaloupe, of Perion, and of Mijicazingo—he is prevented by the contumacious opposition of the inhabitants. Everywhere the sha dow of a dreadful destiny impends over the plains of California and tho mountains of Mexico. The phan tom of a .N2mEsis seems to lead onwards the armies of the United States, and to foretelj the doom of a splendid republic and a degraded race. We have already pointed out the vast distinction between the principle of the measure introduced by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK and that brought forward under the auspices of her MAJESTY'S Government for an advance to certain railways in Ireland, the second reading of which was last night carried by a majority of 113 in the House of Commons. The Noble Lord the Member for Lynn and his supporters still con tinue to assert the identity of these principles, and to rail against the inconsistency of those who, by an overwhelming majority, rejected the former pro position, while they give their support to the more moderate and reasonable one now sanctioned by the House. We should not be so much astonished at these petulant outbreaks if they proceeded only from the camp of the Protectionists, but we confess that we are surprised indeed at finding some of the Liberal Members—persons who are generally more clear sighted and intelligent—joining in the same ridiculous assumptions, and becoming the accusers of the Minis terial policy. The Premier fully and completely vindicated the justice and the expediency of the course adopted, and thoroughly refuted one of the ar guments so loudly urge d aga i nst the measure. He show ed. that t h e advance was becaus e they p r d n t had the 600,0001, p a ose P nd should devise s ome means of ied spending ef it, but be cause, being th oroughly convinced u t: the benefits th a t such an expenditure would confer on the n they were enabled to sancti on it to that extent rwith out inconvenience to the national Exchequer, and without disturbance to the money market. A large and lavish outlay would involve the necessity of the State again becoming a borrower, and would, to a certain extent, expose the Cabinet to the imputation of being guilty of a breach of faith towards those per sons by whom the last loan of 8,000,000/. was advanced —it would occasion mischief more than equivalent for the benefits that could be derived, even under the THE SUN, most favourable circumstances, from the assistance granted. Nothing of the kind, however, could be al -1 leged against the disposal of a sum already in hand, which formed a portion of the amount which it was intended to expend in public works in Ireland, in consequence of the exigencies of that country. We confess that we should have been much better pleased had the original intention been carried into execution and the money applied in the reclamation of the waste lands ; difficulties, however, intervened, which occasioned the withdrawal of that measure for the present session, and the fund for that purpose re mained at the disposal of the Ministry, who decided, as the next best mode of application, to lend it to certain companies, and thereby to expedite the con struction of railways that possessed peculiar claims upon national assistance, and fhat were enabled to offer ample security for the ultimate repayment of the ad vance with full interest thereon. ' MONEY and COMMERCIAL INEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a large business done in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday; sales, 10,000 to 12,000 bales. Holders re quired an advance of per lb. for American. Shares were buoyant. The intelligence by the steamer from Halifax has disappointed some, who thought the rate of exchange would have kopt up to a higher point. We see nothing, however, in the compa ratively trifling reacticn that has occurred, to induce the slightest anxiety, fur even admitting that we must part with more bullion, it will be some time yet, and rather than lose the opportunity of shipping grain to the United Kingdom, the Americans will un doubtedly give liberal orders for our textile fabrics, and we may anticipate considerable activity in the manufac turing districts. In the United States the prospects for the crops ap pear to be excellent, and we are advised from Montreal under a fate date, that—" The weather has again become warm. Yesterday and to-day the thermometer has been up to 75 in the shade. Vegetation is now nearly as far forward as it was at this date last year, and the reports of the crops are unusually good." The unfortunate immigrants from Ireland were suf fering greatly from fever in the quarantine vessels off Quebec, although every effort was made to ensure their recovery. There was, we are assured, no want of food on board the ships bringing the immigrants, and so far the passenger regulations were complied with. It is stated that on the sth instant there were 21,000 passengers at Grosse Isle; 960 died on the passage out; 700 died at the station; there were 1,500 sick on board the vessels, 1,100 sick on shore, and 90 died on the sth. Bills were stuck up calling for 50 female nurses, and 20 orderlies, for the service of th e h osp i tals at Grosse Isle. Wages, 31. per month, with rations. A letter from the Magdalen Islands, received at Hali fax, represents the people of the settlement there in a state of great destitution. Flour is said to be twenty dollars per barrel. About 3,000 seals had been taken at the islands this spring. Before the arrival of the Hibernia, flour was eleven dollars at Halifax, and twelve at Fredericton and St. Andrew's, New Brunswick. A cargo of 1,500 bushels of potatoes from Cornwallis, the first since last fall, arrived at Halifax on the 30th of May, and was soon disposed of at from 6s. to 7s. 6d. per bushel. There are no details yet from India by the Overland mail. Lord GEORGE BENTINCK desired that the Exche quer should advance no less than 16,000,0001. sterling to be distributed indiscriminately to all railway com panies in the proportion of two parts from the State for one provided by the companies. Here, then, was at once a new and a most dangerous precedent ; vast advantages would have been afforded to speculators in Irish rail ways and a consequent injury to, and deterioration of, the property of those who had made investments in similar works in this country. The Government would depart from its legitimate sphere—it would become a money lender on a gigantic scale—it would incur a risk of a serious loss, while any possible gain should find its way into the pockets of the dealers in railway scrip on the London Stock Ex change. It would give a most injudicious impetus to a kind of speculation that had already been carried to an undue extent. If the nation were bound to provide two-thirds of the expenditure on any Irish railway that had already, or might hereafter, be sanctioned by Parliament, while the shareholders would be enabled to distribute the whole of the profits amongst themselves beyond the 3i per cent. interest pay able on the loan, many works of a doubtful cha racter would be undertaken and carried on. Nothing of the kind, however, can possibly be the result of the present Bill. It is merely the extension of a principle that has long been recognised, and which has been peculiarly advantageous to the kingdom in general. The Public Works Loan Commissioners have been in existence for many years. It has been usual to place certain sums annually at their disposal, to be applied in the promotion of useful public works. The sums so ad vanced have generally varied in every year according to the ability of the Exchequer, and according to the strength of the claims of those seeking the national assistance. The Commissioners would have been competent to make the advance without the legisla tive sanction, had they the full amount at their disposal. All, then, that is done is, to The Money Market continues easy, but besides the fall in the exchange at New York, the most has been made of Lord John Russell's rather positive assertion that the potato crop was as good as lost. Ministers, in a time like this, should weigh well their words, as excitement and mistrust are more easily raised than allayed. Upon what authority the Premier makes a statement of so much importance, we are certainly at a loss to conceive, and if his Lordship be really in possession of accounts which are less favourable and more authentic than those obtained by the public, it would be highly desirable that the authority should at once be given. In the City, there has been a good deal of conversation upon this point. The Funds have been acted upon by the causes above stated, and by the natural desire also which spe culators feel to realise the profits they may have made upon the recent advance. Still the market is by no means weak. Consols have realised 89 to 89/ for the Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 91 to 91k, and the Three per Cents. 89i to 891. Bank Stcck has been firm at 195 to 1961. Exchequer -bills have advanced to 9s. to 12s. premium. The Foreigh Securities have been flat again. Spainsh Three per Cents. have realised 341, and the Five per Cents. 21i to Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 31. Mexican Stuck has been marked 19 to 191, and Equador '24. The French Five p e r C en t. R entes h ave b een at 117.25, with the exchange at 25 60. Dutch Feur per Cents. were 90 to 90i so. There is not quite much doing in Railway Shares and prices have remained at about the previous range. In some cases there is an advance, but in ()then a slight decline has occurred. BRITISII FUNDS. grant a larger sum than usual to the Com missioners, and everything concurs to establish the propriety thereof. The money is actually in the Exchequer. It was intended to have been laid out in public works, although of a different character. The works to be carried on will be most useful to the country. There are already portions of them opened, the proceeds of which will be more than suffi cient to pay the interest and instalments of the principal of the money to be lent, and every pound advanced will occasion the ex penditure of an equal sum, to be provided from the private resources of the companies. Under these circumstances, and for these reasons, therefore, we most cordially approve of the present measure, the principle of which has so triumphantly been sanc tioned by the House.

There was another accusation of misapplication of funds brought forward in the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, a charge affecting not only the Minis ters but the officers of the Civil List, the pets of the palace, and implicating even personages of a higher station than either. M. L'HERBETTE accused the Administration of the Civil List of having dilapidated the forests of the State, of which the Crown has only the usufruct to such an extent that the present pos• sessor of the Crown has received sixty-five millions of francs more than he was entitled to. " And yet," said M. L ' HERBETTE, "we have been asked for dotations." The Minister of Finance attempted an explanation, which was worthy of the renowned TERRY O'ROURKE'S, " 'Tis part of my system." We have adopted the German instead of the French system of cutting timber, said the Minister, and this is part of it. M. ODILON BARROT gave it as his opinion, as a lawyer, that the Crown by the adop tion of this system, had exceeded its rights ; arid M. LEDRU Rommr declared that by the 618th article of the Civil Code the Crown had in consequence forfeited the usufruct altogether. Ultimately the debate was adjourned to Monday. The Chamber of Peers has decided that General CUBIERES and M. PARMENTIER PALLAFRA shall be prosecuted for having, in 1842, corrupted by offers, gifts, and presents, the Minister of Public Works, in order to obtain the concession of a mine of rock salt, and that M. TESTE, at that period Minister of Public Works, should be prosecuted for having accepted offers and received gifts and presents, to perform an official act for which no service was performed, the Court believing that sufficient evidence exists to prove these accusations. The trial will commence on the sth July. Lieut.-General Count GIRARDIN has addressed a Letter to the Presse, denying all knowledge of the 'etter of 1838, on the subject of the Peerage, which was read by M. GUIZOT at the Tribune of the Cham ber of Deputies. This denial is corroborated by M. EMILB DE GIRARDIN, who declares that the letter was written by him, without the knowledge of the Gene ral, to a former editor of La Presse. 1 . Goole .. ..

At Bergerac, in the south, it had suddenly fallen from 42 to '25 francs per hec tolitre. In Lower Limousin barley was being reaped; the wheat promised a most abundant crop, and pota toes presented a fine appearance. In the Jura the alternate heat and rain had been extremely beneficial, and there was a fine prospect. The quantity of foreign wheat imported into the department of the north, from the 16th to the 21st inst., amounted to 11,000 hectolitres. At the last market of La Bassee, the price fell one franc per hectolitre ; at Cassel, 4f. 60c. ; and at Bourgourg, sf. 67c. There was no change in the Paris market on Saturday. The Three per Cents. were done at 77f. 55c. on Sun day, in the Passage de !'Opera, Paris, but this price was little more than nominal. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

WILSON'S ENTERTAINMENTS.—At the Music Hall, last night, Mr. Wilson gave his popular entertainment, entitled " An Hour wi' Burns," in which ho sings some of the most popular of Burns' songs, and also recites the famoue poem of "Tam o' Shanter." Wilson was in splendid voice, and gave all his songs with even more than his usual excellence, and his recital of " Tam o' Shanter " was hailed with repeated plaudits. His mis cellaneous songs were all of a first-rate description, and gave great delight. He introduced, by desire, the ex quisite song of "The Skylark" and the humorous ditty of " The Married Man's Lament," both of which produced their usual effects—the former exciting the utmost admi ration of the beauty of the words, the appropriateness of the delicious melody, and the beautiful delivery of it by the singer; and the latter putting the visible faculties to the test by the humorous manner in which it was given. It was whispered in the room that Madlle. Jenny Lind was in a private box listening to the dulcit strains of Scotias minstrel. By particular desire, Wilson is to give one performance more, when his programme is to cVlltain all the choice morceaux of Chit leitSQ/1. DONEGAL, JUNE 26.—Arrd. B. Aymar, Metrels, New York. Sid.

TIIESIGER said the plaintiff in this case was Mr. Evans, a dealer in curiosities, relics, and antiquities, residing in Maddox -street, and that he bad brought this action against the printer and publisher of the Times, for a libel contained in that paper, which was calculated to do him irreparable injury. The jury would be aware, from the peculiar character of the business carried on by Mr. Evans, that nothing was more likely to be detri mental to him than any want of confidence or suspicion on the part of his customers that he wished to palm off spurious articles as genuine, because it would lead to the utter destruction of his business. The libel of which he complained was of that character. In the course of last year Mr. Evans came into possession of a sword which formerly belonged to Lord Nelson. If it were at all necessary to go into the history of the sword, he could prove clearly and distinctly its transmission from Lady Hamilton to Mrs. Smith, the widow of Alderman Smith, and from her to the plaintiff, and lie could prove the genuineness of the article by identifying it as the sword placed on the coffin of Lord Nelson when he was lying in state. The sword bad been purchased from Mr. Evans by Lord Saye and Sele, who munificently presented it to Greenwich Hospital. Mr. Evans was rather surprised, some time afterwards, by finding a letter inserted in the Times, under the sig nature of Sir Harris Nicolas, charging him in distinct and direct terms with manufacturing curiosities, and palming off spurious articles as genuine, and having recourse to what in direct terms was called forgery, for the purpose of supporting his statement. Mr. Evans was, therefore, compelled to decide whether he would submit to the imputation which was so utterly destructive to his business, or whether lie should call upon the editor of the Times, either to apologise for the introduction of the article or give up the name and manuscript of the person who was the author of it. The Learned Counsel then read the libel in question, one paragraph of which stated that the manufacture of Nelson relics had become a very Profitable speculation to certain curiosity-dealers; arid the writer stated that the lolly of persons who were imposed upon by them was too glaring for him to in terfere, but whoa it was endeavoured to foist one of these articles upon a national institution, he did think ii was the duty of every Englishman to interfere. The letter also accused the plaintiff with forging several letters, which he represented were written by Mrs. Smith, alleging the genuineness of the sword. (A letter had appeared in the limes, signed Mrs. Smith, stating that she had received the sword, with the coat and waistcoat, trona Lady Hamilton. This letter, it appeared, was a forgery.) Upon this article appearing in the paper the plaintiff wrote to the defendant, and requested him either to furnish him with the name of his solicitor, or the name of the writer of the article. No answer having been returned, the plaintiff had no alternative but to enter the lists against such a formidable antagonist as the Times. Witnesses proved that the letter referred to the sword sold by Mr. Evans. Mr. HUMFREY replied to the case of the plaintiff in an amusing address. He said two letters from Mr. Evans appeared in the Times, in reply to the letter complained of, denying that there was any truth in the statement that the sword which he had sold was not the sword of the renowned Nelson; and that nearly seven weeks after an action was commenced against the Times, after a de mand had been made by his solicitor, Mr. Flight, of which, however, the Times took no notice, that an apo logy or retractation, under the name of Sir H. Nicolas, should appear in the columns of that paper. It appeared that Prince Albert having been informed that Mrs. Smith had in her possession the coat and waistcoat worn by Nelson at Trafalgar, lost no time in purchasing them for 1501., for the purpose of presenting them to Greenwich Hospital, and they were presented accordingly, and are now exhibited in the painted hall. Mr. Evans shortly after found that Mrs. Smith had a sword in her possession, which was stated to be Lord Nelson's, and he succeeded in purchasing it from her for 11. Shortly after be sold it to Lord Saye and Sele for 100/., for the purpose of being presented to the hospital, and his Lordship offered it, but as doubts rested upon its authunticity,fit was not accepted. Lord Saye and Sele was an enthusiastic admirer of Nelsonian relics, but as he was a fresh -water sailor, it was just possible that he might have been vainly led to believe that the sword was a genuine article. It was a remarkable fact, that Nelson wore no sword at the battle, and as the writer had investigated the merits of a sword belonging to a person named APKenzie, as it was made by Nelson's man of business, the late Mr. Salter, of the Strand, and was such a sword as was worn by flag officers in 1805, and considered that it was very likely to be the sword of Nelson, he naturally imagined that Mr. Evans's sword was a spurious article. Sir Harris Nicolas was the author of the well-known " Nelson Dispatches," and had taken the greatest interest in all that related to the great hero. Lord DENMAN briefly summed up, and he left it to the jury to say whether, in their opinion, the letter im puted that the plaintiff' was a manufacturer of Nelsonian relics ; he could not bring himself to believe that this was charged in the letter. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS. CAUTION TO TRADERS ENTERING INTO DEEDS OF COM POSITION.—IN RE SOUTHWOOD. This insolvent, who had carried on business as a brick layer and bander at Market-street, Paddington, came up for his final order. Mr. COOKE appeared on behalf of Mr. Lacy, a creditor, to oppose, on the ground that there were no assets to distribute. Mr. BICKNELL, on behalf of the insolvent, said this was not one of the ordinary cases of fraudulent disposal of the property. The insolvent having found himself involved, hod called a meeting of creditors, at which it was agreed that he should assign the whole of his pro perty to trustees, as a security for a composition which they all agreed to accept except the opposing creditor, who would not come in unless there was a guarantee for the subsequent payment of the difference. Mr. Couxr said the debt had been contracted very unfairly, and therefore Mr. Lacy was determined to insist on the full payment. His HONOUR said that this was a disposal of property within the meaning of the Act; if persons chose to give up all control over their property they were not entitled to come to this court for protection. Mr. BICKNELL said the transaction was bona fide, and he thought it hard that an individual creditor should oppose an arrangement made by the rest, and for the benefit of all parties. His HONOUR said the Commissioners had come to a decision to refuse protection when the property was so disposed. Creditors were not to be forced into those arrangements. If a trader could not persuade all his creditors to concur he had the power to come to this court, which could and would protect him and his pro perty; but when his estate was being administered by trustees over whom, or over whose accounts the court had no control, the court would not interfere. Protection was refused, and the petition dismissed. The insolvent had suffered foi ty days' imprisonmen for contempt. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) There was not any charge of the least public interest before the court this morning, the whole time of the ma gistrate being occupied in disposing of fixty drunken charges. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) John Brown, who carries on business as a watchmaker, and resides in the Caledonian -road, near the Scotch school, was charged with stealing seven pounds of bacon from the shop of Mr. George Pummett, cheesemonger, Penton-street, Pentonville. It appeared that the prisoner was passing the prose cutor's shop when he was observed to take a piece of bacon from off the window board, by the prosecutor, who immediately pursued him, and raised the cry of " Stop thief," when the prisoner was taken into custody by a policeman. The prisoner stated who he was, that he was a most respectable person, ani that he must have committed the act while in a state of infatuation. He had plenty of money about him, and had not the slightest induce ment to commit a theft, as he was in independent cir cumstances. Waddington, the gaoler, confirmed the prisoner's assertion as to his respectability. lie had known him for many years, and a more respectable man, or one more skilful or esteemed in his business, he did not know. Mr. ComilE said the evidence was so direct and con clusive that he had no other course than to commit the prisoner for trial. The prisoner was then committed to take his trial for the :cloy, but 13% 72 11% Mr. COMBE intimated that he would take bail for his appearance. ANNIVERSARY of her MAJESTY'S CORONATION. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 28.—The anniversary of the Queen's Coronation was kept on Monday at Portsmouth with all the due observances and marks of respect. The people of the dockyard, and all persons connected with the public departments, had a holiday. The shops of the three towns, Portsmouth, Portsea, and Gosport, were all closed, and the inhabitants, generally, also kept holiday. At daylight the bells rang forth their cheering sounds, and at eight the Royal Standard flags were displayed at the various flag-staves, and the squadron at Spithead, and the ships in harbour, exhibited the usual quantity of coloured bunting. At noon the Excellent, bearing the flag of Rear Admiral Hyde Parker, Commander in-Chief pro tem, led off the general salute, which ship was followed by the St. Vincent, the Victory, the Howe, and Lily. So soon as the guns had ceased booming, the fine peal of bells of St. Thomas's Church repeated the fire, and afterwards struck out a merry peal. The streets were thronged by holiday keeping and well-dressed people, and the scene was further enlivened by Cook's equestrian troop, who, with their superb horses, were at the time making a tour of the principal thoroughfares. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. OXFORD, JUNE 28.—The proceedings in the various sections this day were enlivened by the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who, accompanied by the Duke of Saxe Weimar, arrived by a special train from London at about eleven o'clock. His Royal Highness was received at the station by the Rector of Exeter, and conducted to that college, whence the royal visitors proceeded to visit the several sections, in which they were received with respectful enthusiasm. In the geological section his Roy al Highness arrived just as Sir Roderick Murchison was calling the attention of the audience to several very elaborate maps, executed by the hand of the Crown Prince of Sweden, in which the sciences of statistics and geography were combined, each map being painted in different colours to distinguish the several districts of Sweden in which the various pro ductions of the country are derived. His Royal Highness next proceeded to the ethnologi cal section, and arrived at the moment when his Excel lency Chevalier Bunsen was about to commence a most elaborate paper on the relation of the ancient Egyptian language to the other great divisions of language. His Royal Highness listened throughout with great attention to the very eloquent discourse of the distinguished diplomatist, and after its conclusion took his departure for some of the other sections, as well as for the horti cultural show in Trinity-gardens. From Trinity the Royal visitors returned to a dejeuner at Exeter College, at which ma n y o f th e di st i ngu i shed foreigners who adorn the various sections of the Asso- ciation were presented to his Royal Highness. Among these we may specify Professor Sturve, Imperial Astrono mer to the Emperor of Russia, and M. Leverrier, the famous discoverer of the new planet Neptune. His Royal Highness returned to London by special train at half-past four o'clock, and seemed to hare been much gratified by his visit. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLE SCHOOLS.--A general meeting of the supporters of the above schools, esta blished for the maintenance and education of the desti tute orphans of deceased, and the children of necessitous commercial travellers, was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving the re port of the committee, and electing twenty children in mates of the institution. A. Wilcoxon, Esq., was in the chair. The report stated that there were in Eng land no fewer than 30,000 commercial travellers, and the committee anticipated that a large number would join the institution. In order to commence operations imme diately a spacious building had been taken at Wanstead, Essex, capable of acco mmo d a ti ng two h undred children, but the funds were as yet insufficient to admit of the election of more than twenty. The receipts amounted to 5,6631., of which sum 5,0001. had been invested in the Three per Cents. The number of donors was 831, and of annual subscribers 286. After the adoption of the report, the twenty children were elected, and a vote of thanks passed to the chairman. THE BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION FOR THE RELIEF OF AGED AND INFIRM TAlLORS.—Yesterday an adjourned general meeting of the above institution was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, to receive a report, and to elect five pensioners from a list of twenty seven candidates; Mr. Chambers in the chair. The re port stated, that the permanent fund amounted to 12,503/. Bs. 7d., and there was a balance in hand of 5001. At the dinner, at which Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., presided, 784/. 4s. 6d. was contributed, and at a subse quent dinner of the journeymen, the subscriptions amounted to 145/ 2s. With the pensioners to be elected, there would be fifty-four inmates in the asylum, includ ing eight widows. The report was received and adopted, when Mr. Wain, of the firm of Messrs. Stultz and Co., was elected a trustee, in the room of the late Mr. S. Housley, who was connected with the same firm. The election then proceeded. TEMFORA MUTANTUR !—The Pope has altered the manner of reckoning time at Rome, where the people used the Italian mode of counting twenty-four hours, from half an hour before sunset, and has ordered the public clock to be adapted to the common European reckoning.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF LANESBOROUGIL—Died on Monday, the 13th inst., at Brislington, near Bristol, the Right Hon. Briesley Butler Earl of Lanesborough, Viscount Lanesborough, and Baron of Newton Butler, of the kingdom of Ireland. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his heir-at-law, G. J. D. Butler Danvers, Esq., of Swithland Hall, in the county of Leicester. PEDESTRIANISM.—MOLLOY AND SON'S 100-MILE MATCH.—The heavy undertaking of Molloy, the veteran pedestrian, and his son, a youth of 17, to walk 100 miles between them in twelve successive hours, was brought to issue yesterday, according to articles ; a great number of spectators being attracted by the endurance of the performance and the peculiarity of the conditions. At eight o'clock, A.M. ' the father and son (th e f ormer i n hi s 47th year) started in company on their arduous task, walking on a measured half-mile near the fourth mile stone on the Edgware-road. The performance of thq match, it will be observed, involved the average comple tion of upwards of four miles per hour throughout the whole period of twelve hours, and this was exceeded by more than an average, including all stoppages for refreshment, &0., of four and a half miles. At one o'clock twenty-five miles had been completed ; but shortly after two, about the 30th mile, the elder Mol loy was evidently going in difficulty; he therefore stopped while his junior partner in the undertaking walked one mile, after which the latter took the like respite, and the older pedestrian footed it a mile solo in turn. From the 32d to the 48th mile, they kept company, after which the younger Molloy went a-head, end made seven minutes out of the old man in the last two miles, completing his fifty miles in 11 hours 33 minutes, the veteran also com ini in terribly beaten in 11 hours 40 minutes. Thus winning with 47 minutes to spare between them ; good work decidedly, and better than we gave either of them credit for being capable of doing. The stake money w as 35 sovereigns, which, with some promised contributions, in the event of success, has been well earned by both the men. 1 VENTILATION.—Mr. Toynbee has submitted the ' following proposition for the adoption of Government, to the consideration of the Royal Institute of Architects: 1. That no living, sleeping, or work room shall contain less than 144 superficial feet, or shall be less than ei g h t feet high. 2. That such room shall have one window at least opening at top. 3. Also an open fire-place. 4. That in every living, sleeping, or work-room, erected in future, some method shall be adopted of allowing the foul air to escape from the upper part of the room. 5. That every such room, erected in future, shall have some T a n ir a ' t all 6.

CHALMERS.—It will, we are sure, afford pleasure to all our readers to learn that the Queen, on the advice of Lord John Russell, has settled on Mrs. Dr. Chalmers and her family a pension on the civil list of 2001. a-year. It is highly creditable both to the monarch and her adviser, that the act, alike unsolicited and unexpected on the part of Mrs. Chalmers and her friends, takes the form of a spontaneous expression of sympathy with the bereaved widow, and of respect for the illustrious dead. The official letter of intimation to Mrs. Chalmers, written by Lord John's own hand, is as follows:—" Chesham-place, June 22, 1847. Madam- 1 have the satisfaction of informing you, that the Queen, taking into her consideration the piety, eloquence, and learning of the late Dr. Chalmers, has been pleased to command that a pension of two hundred pounds a year should be settled upon you and your daughters, out of her Majesty's civil list. Allow me to add, that I trust that this act of the Queen may render the remainder of your life as tolerable as the loss of so eminent and excel lent a partner will permit. I have the honour to be, Madam, your obedient faithful servant, J. RussErz.”-- - Ed.:nburgh Witness. LIBERALITY OF THE PRESENT POPIde-,WE read in the Mondo Illustrato of Rome:—" A wealthy nobleman desired to constitute one of his two sons his universal legatee, on condition that he would make a sacrifice of ' part of his property to the church. The two sons, knowing that their father was very eccentric, deter mined, whatever will he might make, to divide his fortune between them. Irritated at this, the father made a secret will, by which ho left a very small sum indeed to his two sons, and the bulk of his property to the priest who should happen to say the first mass in , the church in which his funeral ceremony was to take place. This will he deposited with a notary. On his death, which took place shortly after, the notary opened the will, and struck by its singularity, took it to the Pope. It was lat e a t n i g h t that his Holiness became acquainted wi'h it, but before daylight next morning he hastened to the church at which the funeral ceremony was to take place, caused the doors to be opened by stating who he was, and celebrated the sacrifice of the mass before any priest had arrived. He thus bedtime legally entitled to the property of the deceased, and immediately made it all over to the two sons." ' At Derrynane House chapel mass is celebrated every morning by th e R ev . J.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN BERMONDSEY. Yesterday morning the inquiry into the cause of the accident arising from the fall of the railway arch, in Great Russ A-street, 1.1 ,- -rmondsey, was resumed in the Board-room of the Union workhouse, before Mr. Carter, the Coroner, and the jury empannelled upon the former occasion. Upon the inquiry of one of the jurors, Mr. Corner, solicitor for Mr. Little, the contractor, said that applieL" tion had been made to General Pasley, for the purpose of his being present at the inquiry to give evidence. The General had replied that he should have been most happy to have been present, but that he was compelled to be in Oxford at the time, to attend the British A 39068 601 3. The contractors, however, with the view of fully inves tigating the matter, had consulted several eminent engi neers, who were prepared to give evidence that day. A beautifully -constructed wooden model of the arc h was then brought into the room, and imitation centres fitted to show the effect which might be produced to the corner of the arch in the removal of part of the fittings by a passing vehicle, as was stated to have been the case by one of the witnesses upon the last occasion. Mr. Thomas Grimll (of the firm of Grissells and Peto, the eminent builders) deposed that h e h a d b ee n called upon to examine the materials of which the fallen bridge had been composed—the bricks, mortar , and concrete. He had been called up on b y t h e enging i t; of the railway to give his opinion of their quality. He considered the whole of the materials to be of the best description, and he did not see anything in the nature of them to account for the accident. The same material was fit and proper to be used in an arch of such a span, and they were the same throughout the line. To that part which remained his attention had been called. The arch was called a skew arch, and the bricks had been placed in strict con formity with the usual custom. The abutments are net more moved than they would be by the fall of the mate' rials. He was satisfied the arch did not fall through the instability of the abutments. Having been much en gaged in this kind of work he was of opinion that the work was properly and faithfully performed. But little of the concrete appears to have fallen with the arch. The concrete, as far as he could say, had been filled in to e level on ea c h s id e . Th e object of easing the arch is to allow it to take its own bearing to test the solidity of the arch. The mortar being green there is considerable pressure , and if the mortar had been bad the arch would have come down. If the arch did not follow the centre the arch was a sound arch, and the builder was justified, in the course of five days (as he had been informed wa g the case) in removing the ribs altogether. The centr• is merely left for a few days, as a matter of precaution. Looking at the f orm o f t h e arch i t would almost sten " without mortar at all. It was not customary to use cement, except in the winter. The circumstance of the mortar becoming hard or dry was not an actual neces sity. The arch was turned under very unfavourabl e circumstances as to the weather. He was fully of opinio n that the manner in w hi c h t h e centre was remove d was the cause of the accident. Several other scie;tifle gentlemen gave similar evidence. This being the whole of the testimony, the Coron er briefly recapit u l a t e d th e evidence, and a fter about IT hour's deliber a ti on th e following verdict was ucsnv mously returned :—" That the deceased parties wed accidentally killed, but, at the same time, they (the iary) desire to say that they cannot but express their opini as to the incauti ous manner i n which the boy has acted, and that they ar e d es i rous o f recommending to the con tractors of such work s t o app l y to the proper authori ties for leave to stop up any public way over which a n . arch may be turn e d, more part i cularly in the str iking 01 the centres, so as to prevent any such accidents as that in future." The inquiry was th en conc l u d ed, the jury h av ing aat upwards of six hours. We have great pleasure in announcing the speed arrival in En g l an d o f his Royal Highness Prince W demar of P russ i a . I t w i ll be remembered by all iv" are familiar with th e part i culars of the actions o n the Sutlej, that this illustrious Prince, accomp an ied by II suite, shared th e d angers an d privations of the Brit ish army of the field s o f M oo dk ee and Ferozeshah, on whic h si latter occasion Dr. Hoffman, the physician of his ROY Highness, fell mor t a ll y wounded. His Royal Highness was also pre sen t at t h e b attle of Sobraon, and t h us Wit nessed the total overthrow of the turbulent invaders' We believe that the occasion of the visit of the Prince is to receive at the hands of her Majesty t h e Grand Cross of th e Bath, in commemorati o n of the share which he had in the g l or i ous v i ctor i es i n quest ion, m i l e we feel sure th a t h e w ill b e met b y the Br i t i s h pub" with every expression of respect. ACCIDENT TO ONE O F TFIE B OSZESMAN AT fall EGYPTIAN HALL.—On Friday during the perforroso c " and whilst the young African was showing to the ands' once the way in which his countrymen extract the venom from the snake, he incautiously placed th e . poisoned arrow long ways in his mouth, at the mome nt he did not feel any effects, but towards the eveninee evinced considerable uneasiness with a slight sensation of shuddering. Mr. Tyler fearing that by some accident he had poisoned himself immediately conveyed him to their lodgings at Peckham. The poor Bushman's face began to swell, and his throat also d,splayed a similar tendency. A medical man was instantly called in who pronounced the Bosjesman to be labouring under the effects of poison; the usual remedies were applied, viz.. an emetic, and mustard poultice to the throat. On Saturday, however, he was too unwell to be removed, but on Monday morning again appeared at the Egyp tian Hall, having somewhat recovered. The occurrence occasioned considerable regret amongst those connected with the exhibition. 'We need not suggest to the pro prietors, and to Mr. Tyler, the importance of withhold ing " sweatmeat s " f rom these aborigines, seeing many are now composed of prussic acid and other injurious matter.
