WANoTA will benefit all but his friends, And I fancy will be with the odds and the ends. Join/ ScorT, not improving his very bad luck, I imagine will be but amongst the great ruck. MR. MANTLN will prove whether Blenkhom or Kent Is best to be trusted for this Great Event. The stable at Goodwood is powerful, strong, But the PLANET will find the distance too long. GLENTILT is superb, as I understand, But the GLEN it succumbs to the Hampshire high land. Mr. Martin's been made a very great pot, But he's not the best of the Mostyn great Lot ; The running at Chester may have been very well, But at Epsom the course will a different tale tell. The MiTcYfaLL Gnovz nags, tho' deprived of the Sage, Are a dangerous Lot a war with to wage. The RED HART steers steadily over the Hill, The stout blood of Venison his arteries fill; And tho' against the Dons he may not win the race, At the finish he'll be in a capital place. MONTPASIER may run pretty smartly and stout, And OzoNIAN, I awn, I know nothing about. Loin) RUSSELL'S a sportsman, his nag he will bring. But he'll find that his NorrlNGuAat is not a STING. BOWSTRING may run the Great Stable to please, But while running is backers are ill at their ease. MEESIILLO, observe, is coining meanwhile On the strength of his run o'er the PHOSPHEROUS mile; But he is no Pliosperons, so I opine, And must not expect in the Derby to shine. The martial WAR EAGLE I cannot trust, His highly raised banner will trail in the dust. For the COSSACK has beat him, and will beat him The WAR EAGLE'S too soft to get over the Hill. If MATHEMATICIAN comes well to the post, There'll be grumbling enough 'bout the money that's lost; If the Brother of Euclid is meant to pull through, He'll pepper the cracks, and Physic them too. The scholar will puzzle the Gnostics right well, And sake it more doubtful the winner to tell. And now I declare, tho' I can't draw the line, . A dark one may come and put out the sunshine, Make the fielders rejoice at the books they have made, And the backers of horses fall back in the shade. The great LIBERATOR a mile may run through, With the race after that he'll have little to do; To sum up the whole, should PLANET be well; , And not stop at the Hill, the tale he may tell. There are five that first pass Mr. Clark's chair, 'Tis Planet, Day's two, Tromp and Red Hart that's there. If any one wishes his fancy to back, He must lay out his tin on the Chestnut COSSACB. Folks have many fancies, but I have but one, The winner! he comes from the banks of the Don. Bicester, May 15, 1847. ESAU. THE OAKS, 1847. 'Tis hard to stop ambitious men, Tho' oft in trouble it has brought folks, Yet I in ink will dip my pen, To write what wins the ipsom great Oaks. My' yarn it will indeed be short, There are but two I can discover That will add to the exciting sport, Unless foul SLANDIR turn them over, And when again I scan the field, Jsasicr's a gem of the first water, But the proud aristocrat must yield To the humble FAMIZIt'S DAUGUTER.

Sir,—l delayed addressing you upon the subject of the statement you made respecting the difficulty of framing a Bill for the reclamation of waste lands in Ireland, in the hope that the discussion on Mr. Scrope's motion, on Tuesday last, would have elicited that explanation which certainly appears necessary, for, although report assigns to you a hostile feel ing to the measure, yet no person would fancy that you could in the face of Parliament state difficulties that you did not believe to exist. Your statement was, "That after attempting to put the Bill into a practical shape, and after consulting with several lawyers and other Members of experience, &c., &c.,1 I do think it would have been impossible to pass a Bill which could have been brought into operation this year." Now, I believe I shall make it appear as clear as the sun at noon day, that your lawver of experience must have misled you, and that it would - be difficult to find a lawyer who would not prepare a Bill which should conic into operation, not only this year, but the week after it had received the Royal Assent. Your Bill when put into a practical shape must have been based on one of the three following principles :- Ist. Government taking the power of purchasing the nnre claimed lands of every proprietor, although he was himself willing to employ the people in reclaiming the land. 2d. Government taking the power of purchasing the unre claimed land of any proprietor who will not employ the people in reclaiming it. 3d. Government taking the power of purchasing the mire claimed land of any proprietor who was desirous of selling. The first may be termed Mr. Scrope's plan, the second that which I had the honour to propose, and the third as one which could not possibly have done any injury to any indi vidual, and which might be productive of essential benefit. I have always considered, and reflection confirms the opinion, that the plan proposed by Mr. Scrope would be a measure of great injustice, and stilt greater impolicy ; as it has been abandoned, it is useless to adduce reasons in support of this opinion. I cannot conceive that the principle of the second plan contains anything approaching to injustice. It is too late now to question the soundness of the pri nc ipl e th at " property has its duties as well as its rights," and the present Govern ment have worked out that principle by declaring that the first duty of property and the first burthen upon it, is to sup. port the people. That is the principle 01 your Irish Poor-law Bill, but society has a right to expect that such principle shall be carried out with the least possible injury either to the giver or the receiver. There is only one possible mode of effecting this object—employment. If this be correct, then comes the question—Has any pro prietor a right to say I hold 10,000 acres of unreclanned land, which I choose to keep in its present state for my amuse ment, and although its reclamation would give employment to all the industrious in the district, it shall not be touched, and I prefer feeding them in a state of idleness rather than part with my land. Has any individual a right to hold this language? Does that property perform its duty to society? And if all right-minded persons would immediately answer such questions in the negative, is it unjust to compel such a proprie • tor to sell his land at a just price, that the people may be employed and fed? The third principle is one which could not possibly injure any individual, and to judge of its beneficial importance, suppose the Government had possessed such a power during the last winter, would not the reclamation of waste lands have been a better return - for the millions which have been expended than the roads which have been made? However good the harvest may be, the Government will again have to feed a portion of the Irish people. Of this there exists no reasonable doubt, and you should be prepared with every measure which may enable you to give that food for wages fairly earned. There would not be the slightest objection in the present Parliament to vest discretionary powers in the Government, and you ought to apply for them unless you are prepared to be accountable for another year of that profligate waste of public money, which, under the pre tence of feeding the destitute, has been freely given to parties possessed of ample means.—l have the honour to remain your most obedient servant, RIGBY WASON. WINDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING.—It is stated that her Majesty will arrive at the Castle, for the Ascot Races, two or three days earlier than had originally been contemplated— Monday, the 31st inst., having been the day fixed upon for the Court to leave town for Windsor. It is now expected that her Majesty and the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Royal Family, will arrive at the Castle on the 28th inst., the day following the Drawing- room to be held at St. James's Palace. The Court will not remain at Windsor, it is stated, beyond a week or ten days.

JAMES'S THEATRE. CLOSE OF TILE ENTERTAINMENT. The nobility, gentry, and th, public are respectfudy informed, that the popular Entertainment given by the Ettropian Serenaders, Pell, Harrington, White, Stanwood, and Germcn, will be positively ter minated at the end of the ensuing month of June, previously to the fixed departure of the Company for the Continent, on the sth of July. Since the connnencement of this Entertainment, more than four hundred performances, public and private have been given in London ; and, notwithstanding the numerous ♦ulgar imitations which have been recently attempted in the metropolis, the unapproachable superiority of the above party is established by their undiminished popularity and success. During the few remaining weeks of their engagement, the performances will be continued every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings, and a Morning Performance will take place every Wednesday. The entertainments of the Thursdays during the month of June will be appropriated for the separate Bene fits of each member of the Company.

Now that the Repeal Association is inapable of acting with its customary energy and peseverance, seeing that its great leader is still sojouring on the Continent, for the purpose of recruiting is debilitated constitution, the firebrand patriots, who are sticklers for physical force, are endeavouring toilch from him that popu larity with the Irish tnultittie of which he has hitherto been the sole object. A enthusiastic race like the Hibernians must alwas have some medium through which to express thir political sympathies. The sudden illness and retirment of DANIEL O'CoN NELL have deprived them f t h e med i um to w hi c h they have been accustomed f or very near l y h a lf a century. The Young Irelarlers perceive the oppor - tunity afforded by this (to thin) felicitous calamity, and hence their periodical lemonstrations at the Rotunda, and their flagrant ari hyperbolical speeches at what is, no doubt ironically called the Irish Con federation. If these melodralatic gentlemen really imagine that a whole nation is to be deluded by claptrap phrases and insolent boasts, they will find themselves most pitifully mistiken. By the latest intelligence received from tie travelling com panions of the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork, it would seem that the recovery of that extraordinary man is now tolerably certain. On his return, with t renovated constitu tion, DANIEL O'CONNELL will lave sufficient to ac complish of Pacifying his coun t rymen an d reconc in reconciling them way mtothe dispensatons of PROVIDENCE and the efforts of a benignant Gorernment. Nothing has ever equalled be Young Ireland braggadocios in violence of sentiment or bombast of utterance. By their inflammatory orations they are assuredly numbering themselves smong the most re prehensible class of juvenile offenders. They are drawing down upon their extravagant faction the indignation of a stern, and powerful,and afflicted realm. Instead-of coalescing with the sincere wellwishers of the sister island, instead of labouring-practically to ame liorate the condition of the dying and neglected mil lion, instead of evincing a manly susceptibility in regard to the sorrows of their fellow-men, they are striving heart and soul to sow dissension among the masses, to aggravate the sufferings of starvation by the anguish of discontent, to cast obloquy upon an Administration whose paramount anxiety is to assuage the woes of a people of whom they are said to be the bitterest enemies and the most ruthless murderers. Can any mat, with a spark of the be nign fire of Caristianity in his bosom, can any man with a sound intellect, or a heart not wholly hardened agtinst the influences of humanity— can any man, indeed who is not entirely bereft of his senses entertain the :lightest respect for the political ranters and jumpers cf the Irish Association? Messrs. O'Gonmars and Muitaunn may conceive that they are acquiring a reputaion kindred to that of ROBERT EMMETT. If so, they are labouring under a deplo rable delusion. They ire so far from eliciting the approbation of the sensible, that they are ensuring for themselves the contumelious regard even of the least discerning. Perhaps in their very recent emancipation from the school-room these youths may bear some dim remembrance of the masterly description of CATALINE, written by the his torian SALLUST. Shou d this classic reminiscence have not altogether faded from their memories through the ecstacy of their democratic ardour, they would do well to draw an analogy with that immortal portraiture, and henceforth eschew the demoralising tendencies of their phre netic and fanatical doctrines. If they are not actually playing such fantastic tricks " before high Heaven as would make; the angels weep," they are certainly conducting themselves in a manner that must make all honest patriots grieve. It is one (and that one not the least) of the many evils of the present dearth and famine with which it has pleasedPaovinEiscE immediately to afflict Ireland, and mediately, through the failure of the craps in that unhappy country, this, comparatively speaking, more favoured island of England, that the attention of the Legislature and of the public has been so completely absorbed in' attempting to devise measures to mitigate the horrors of this appalling affliction, as to render it necessary to leave unredressul and even uninvestigated many abuses which call loudly for reform, and which, had they occurred in times of greater material prosperity, would have at once demanded, and have obtained the immediate attention of Parliament. Foremost among these, as placing in jeopardy the personal liberty of every one of her MAJESTY'S subjects, is the Law of Lunacy; the neces sity for a sweeping reform in which is demonstrated by a trial which took place in the Court of Queen's Bench in the course of last week. The case to which we allude, is the case of " CIIMMING v. INCE," which was tried before Mr. Justice ERLE and a common jury. The plaintiff was the unfortunate Mrs. Cusisinsc, to whose case as an illustration of the necessity of an alteration in the present state of the law we have, on more than one occasion, directed the attention of the readers of The Sun. The action was brought by Mrs. CusisseNG to recover possession of certain title-deeds detained by the defendants, in consequence of an arrangement entered into not to prosecute a com mission de lunatico against the plaintiff; one of the conditions of which arrangement was that the plain tiff shoull make a certain disposition of her pro porty in favour of the two defendants. The circum stances of the case, as stated by Mr. COCKBURN, the counsel for the plaintiff, and admitted by Mr. WATSON, the counsel for the defendants, were these : " Mrs. Cumming, the plaintiff, was a woman entitled to certain freehold property. She was a person considerably advanced in life, and was perhaps rather irascible anti im patient. Between herself and her two daughters, the wives of Messrs. Hooper and Ince, differences had arisen, and these persons had thought fit to apply for a commission of lunacy against their mother. This commission issued on the 29th of July; it lay for some time without execution, but towards the middle of August the parties proceeded to put it into execution. The plaintiff had been put into a lunatic asylum as early as the 13th of May, and she was brought up from that place to be examined under the commission. On the 29th of August the investigation began, before Mr. Barlow, the Commis s ioner, and after continuing for four or five days, an arrangement was entered into. In consequence of that arrangement, the title-deeds of the plaintiff were delivered up. It was to set aside this arrangement that the present proceeding had been instituted." 2he now sought to recover the possession of those deeds, because the consent she had given to this ar rangement was not a free and voluntary consent. She was under duress, which the existence Of re straint and the fear of a continued abode in a lunatic asylum imposed upon her." 2dr. Justice EELS, in his summing up, told the jury "that an agreement derived all its force from the mental consent of the party who made it. It might be valid as to externals, and yet void in law if the mind cf the party making it had not gone -Monk with it when made. Where there was an appa rent consent and an apparent execution, still if it was shown that it was obtained under duress, and not by the free will of the party, the agreement would be void." His Lordship, therefore, put this question to the jurors—" whether the plaintiff's apparent consent for Mr. PETERSDORFF to sign the agreement on her behalf was obtained by the effect of the restraint she was under, and without the exercise of her free will? If the arrangement had not been made the inquiry would have gone on. The jury was empanelled, and the plaintiff knew that a verdict must be taken. If would find f or the j urors now thought t h at t h e p l a i n tiff h a d con sented to thi s agreement w ith ou t an y exerc i se o f her free will, t h ey would find for the plaint i ff; if th e y thought s h e b ad consented of her own free w ill they entirely for th em. " Our r ea d ers will recollect t h at a t the time the the defendants. This question wa s arrangem en t was entered i nto, we ex pressed an opinio n t h at It pints, upon the very face of it, invalid, becau se if M rs. CUMMINO were insane, she was incap a bl e o f executing any legal docutnent ; and ine, the arr angement, as h av i ng been entered into under d uress, was void, and i t i s w ith some gratifi cationf sane, that we find that o pinion suppotted by tb high . a legal authority as Mr. Justice ERLE. The jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff; invalidating the arrangement, and restoring to Mrs. CUMMING full control ov er h er property. Thus after a lapse of twelve months; afte r an incarcerat i on i n an asylum of four mo n th s ; after all the anxiety and all the expense a tt endant upon an act i on a t l aw, Mrs. CUIUMING has obtained a tardy remedy ; hut she would if the la w rendered, as it ought to render, a public ; prelimina r y have escaped all this suffering inquiry into the sanity or insanity of any , alleged lunatic necessary, before authorising the de tention of such alleged lunatic in any asylum. We shall be told again as we have been told before, that the law renderi it necessary to have the certificates of two medical men to authorise the keeper of an asylum to detain any alleged lunatic, and that the commissioners of lunacy are appointed to see that this provision of the law is strictly complied with. We have already demonstrated the utter worthless ness of such certificates—certificates which may be purchased in the market at the rate of 103. each. But is even this requisition always complied with ? What is the evidence as to that point given in the present case. We quote from the report of the trial:— " Mr. Justice Erle accordingly took from the statement of Mr. Haines the following detail of the circumstances of the case. The plaintiff was a person 69 years of age, the de fendants were her two daughters, and their two husbands. She was taken to a lunatic asylum on the l 2th May, 1846. On the 19th July the plaintiff's husband died. On the 29th July a commission in lunacy was taken out. Notice of exe cuting it was given on the 22d of August. The plaintiff was taken to a madhouse on the opinion of one medical man." This last sentence is cunningly and cautiously worded. What does it mean—that there were the certificates of two, but the opinion of only one medical man—or that she was received into the madhouse on the autho rity of a single certificate, and detained after her recep tion upon the authority of a second—or that she was detained upon the authority of one certificate only ? It may mean either of these. How comes it that the Commissioners did not elicit by their inquiries the fact that she was taken to a madhouse on the opinion of one medical man ? Is the law even less careful of the liberty of the subject than we have hitherto supposed it to be ? Does the law authorise a person to be taken to a madhouse, upon the opinion of one medical man ? If it does, is it not more than ever necessary that such law should be altered ? And that no alteration short of a public preliminary inquiry previous to incarceration can be satisfactory, is demonstrable from the facts of this very important case, as we propose to prove on some future occasion. In support of the cause of civil and religious liberty our earnest endeavours have never been wantirg. The principle is of vital importance to the growth and maintenance of civilisation. Man acts accord ing .to his feelings, and he shows himself most rational when these are tempered with judgment. The sen timents of religion are those which influence the human mind down to its profoundest depths. The history of the whole world is fraught with terrible illustrations of this truth. No political lever has proved itself so powerful as that of religious enthu siasm. This feeling has demonstrated itself, when once kindled, as the infallible precursor of most of the re markable events recorded in the histories of different nations. Under its influence thrones and states have been shaken to their foundations, and revolutions have come and gone, resembling, in their rapid succession, the repetition of the hurricane during a continuous and desolating tempest. The potency of this principle is evidenced by the reflection that some of the fiercest struggles between religious communities have turned more upon the forms than the principles of their different creeds. The comparative peace which has so long been enjoyed by the world at large, and Europe in particular, and the favourable rise which nume rous countries are making in the scale of civilisation, are attributable to the homage which has been, and is mow, for the most part, paid by their respective Go vernments to the benign principle of toleration. Persecution in any shape, on account of a man's re ligious persuasion, is at length happily beginning to be viewed with general abhorrence by all enlightened people. Here and there we witness occasional out bursts of an intolerant spirit, even in England itself. Fortunately these manifestations are of an isolated character. They are, in fact, still-born. The motives of public bodies, such as the Pro testant Association and National Club, are not to be impugned; but their judgment is open to be arraigned, their fears to be slighted, and their conduct to be represented as tyrannical in its effect. Were the powers of the Vatican exercised in the most arbitrary and bigoted manner, they could not be more viru lently assailed than they are at this moment by a prejudiced few ; but as they happen to be notoriously wielded by Pius IX. in a spirit of liberality, such that Austria herself has openly censured his policy, a more inopportune moment could not have been selected for attempting to raise a No- Popery cry. Lord JoHN RUSSELL on Friday took occasion to pay a well-merited tribute of admi ration to the course which his HOLINESS has pursued since his accession; and, in answer to a question from Mr. HORSMAN, whether the Government contemplated taking any steps to place the British relations with Rome on a more friendly footing, his Lordship, after adverting to certain legal difficulties at present existing in the way of deputing a Minister with cre dentials from this country, avowed his conviction of the desirableness of establishing formal diplomatic relations between England and Rome. We have no doubt that this important subject will hereafter re ceive the consideration to which it is entitled. Madrid journals of the 9th and 10th ult. have been received. A letter of the 9th gives the following particulars relating to the late alleged attempt on the life of the QUEEN, and to Don ANGEL DE LA RIVA, the supposed assassin, and his accomplices : " The attempt upon the Queen's life on Tuesday evening continues to monopolise public attention. The affair is un dergoing a very serious and active investigation by the ma gistrates ; but nothing transpires either to confirm or dispel any of the reports in circulation. Don Angel de la Riva, who is said to have fired the pistols, is in custody ; he is an advocate, and was lately employed in editing the nou velles direrses of the Clamor Public° ; but the politics of that paper did not exclusively engage his attention, for he was at the same time intimately connected with Don Diego Coello, editor of the Faro, an ultra-Moderado journal, es blished under the auspices of Senors Mon and Pidal. Senor Coello has also been questioned by the examining. magistrate. The official statement is anxiously looked for by everybody, for regicide is deemed an impossibility among Spaniards; it it not therefore surprising that many persons persist in doubt ing whether the pistols wers loaded with ball. Since her Majesty's arrival at Aranjucz she has repeated her in • vitatious to Don Francisco to join her, but he is in flexible. lam assured that he Las written to his cousin the Count de Montemolin, declaring the date of his last personal communication with the Queen ; which supposes suspicion of a jealous character. He also expresses appre hension of some attempt upon his lilt—an insinuation ren dered absurd by the Queen's well-known amiable disposition. Notwithstanding the intense anxiety which pervades every class of society, it is gratifying to be able to state that no fears have arisen respecting the tranquillity of this capital. The money crisis, which weighs so heavily on L on d on and Paris, has naturally prcduced its effect here, and our com mercial horizon is gloomy; however, there is at present great activity in building, so that the labouring classes have plenty of work. "P.S.—I have just heard that Senor Coello has been ar rested, and is now in prison, and also that some important individuals are implicated, as having instigated De la Riva to his criminal attempt." The QUEEN has invited Generals SERRANO and CORDOVA, together with the Marquis of MIRAFLORES and Senor PACRECO, to the Court at Aranjuez. The Gazette publishes royal decrees, appointing General BicAnn.') SCIIELLY Captain-General of An dalusia, in the room of General YEZUELA ; General Baron DEL SOLAR DE ESPINOSA, Captain-General of Granada ; and General FERNANDO COTONER, Captain- General of Burgos. The Tiempo announces, that on the evening of the 9th some alarm was created in Madrid by the explosion of two petards at the Puerta dcl Sol. The KING has refused to join the QUEEN at Aranjuez, and has gone for some days to the Prado. It is said that PACHECIIO is opposed to the promul gation of a royal decree giving force to the financial projects of Senor SALAMANCA. Food riots of a serious nature have taken place in the provinces of Seville and Grenada. MADRID BOLSA, MAY 1 0.—The Three per Cents. were done at 314 for paper; the Five per Cents. at 19 1 ; the Debt without interest at 5%; and the Coupons, at 16 for cash. 'We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The interpellation of M. GUIZOT by M. ODILON Rumor, on the subject of the recent change in the Ministry, took place on Friday in the Chamber of Deputies. The scene is thus described by the National:--- M. Odilon Barrot questioned M. Guizot as to the motive for the dismissal of the three Ministers. M. Guizot replied that it was done because such was the pleasure of the Crown. M. Lacave Laplagne said it was not his fault, and M. de Girardin replied, after which the Chamber broke up. All this did not occupy an hour. About 2,000 persons went to the Chamber; about 1,200 of them for the sake of amuse ment. and amused they must have been, for it was very droll." On this subject the Presse says— " Testerday was an evil day for the Ministry. It is left in an abased situation, from which it will be difficult for it to extricate itself. An inexorable severity towards its as sociates must, in turn, recoil upon its own head. It must be extremely confident in its own strength not to show greater indulgence, or rather it must feel itself extremely weak Snot to be wore generous. If the Ministry had been strong, if it had pot felt that its existence Was at stake, it would hate undoubtedly postponed all modification of the Cabinet until after the session." The Siecle has the following ferocious attack upon M. GUJZOT "There are men whose political conduct is nothing more than a series of opportune defections. Always in the secrets of fate, they can foresee events, prognosticate misfortune, change their stations in good time, bend and accommo date themselves with wonderful suppleness and prompti tude to the rapid revolutions of Fortune's wheel. Like the Roman Emperor who admitted into his pantheon the gods of every mythology, so they have their altar for every wor ship, but reserve their devotions for the Divinity of the day.' These men were found at Glient in 1815, intriguing among the enemies' bivouacs, while France succumbed at Water loo. Brought back to Paris in an English or Prussian baggage waggon, they have made use of the Restoration while pretending to serve it, and exercised their pens in the bureau de r espri public, or in the concilitibules of royalist reaction. Under this flag advancement was too tardy, and their impatient ambition turned in another direction with its arms. Their wounded but prescient pride sought applauses on another stage. They became doughty cham pions of the Socidt( Aide- toi, le Ciel t'aidera. The Revo lution of 1830 raised them on its bucklers. On the day after this popular triumph they induced the new dynasty to deny its origin, and urged it on to the perilous path in which its predecessors had lost themselves. A competition of servility soon brought into action those subaltern pretensions which dispute for the first place in the vestibule of Government. The dismissed servant revolts. He resolves to renew the . assault in the adjoining ante-chamber. There may be seen the excess of zeal with which he demands credit for his tardy devotion to the national and constitutional policy. This holy cause ennobles, in his eyes, every part he may play. He accepts that of recruiting-sergeant of the coali tion, and collects a small platoon of Doctrinaires under the standard of the great Parliamentary army. 'We find this man of agility at London in 1839 and 1840, conspiring against the system which he had sworn to make prevail, and against the Ministry whose policy he was bound to re present. England rendered him justice. He spoke, but she did not believe him. It is he himself who has told us so. After he had thus expiated his faults, his repentance received its reward. He enters into the Ministry, and, to complete his abjuration, denies all the principles which he had maintained in 1838 and 1839. He it was who under took to purify the temple which had for a moment been profaned, and to replace on the altar the idol of royalty which reigns and governs. We now find him, in 1847, faithful to the practice of his whole life, abandoning the vanquished, giving the finishing stroke to the wounded, be traying those whom fortune had. deserted, and sacrificing his accomplices to escape the chastisement due to his own faults." The Chancellor and Committee charged to make the preliminary investigations in the case of General DESPANS CUBIERES, on Friday examined' M. LE. GRAND, Under Secretary of State to the Department of Public Works, and M. PELLAPRAL, a very old gentleman, who was formerly a receiver-general. The distress continues to increase in all parts of France. In Paris, alone one-fourteenth part of the population is absolutely pauper, and two-fifths of the inhabitants have availed themselves of the advances made by the authorities to ensure to all who claimed it bread at not more then 16 sous the loaf. In the provinces, where the Government has not made any similar advances in aid of the starving population, the most serious riots have taken place. At Cambrai on Wednesday a black flag was paraded through the streets, the multitude vociferating "Bread at 20 sous, or death." Every quarter of the town was disturbed. It was attempted to disperse the crowd by a display of infantry and cavalry, but the military failed in their efforts. At six o'clock in the evening a detach ment of 50 National Guards established a post in the hall of the Consistory, and the firemen, having taking arms, contributed to restore order. At Lille, on the 13th, the bakers' shops were plun dered by a mob, and seditious cries were uttered, among others, Viva La Republique ! Vive Henri V.— Viva notre Rol qui est en Angleterre (Louis NA roLEoN)! There were also serious food riots at Tournay on Wednesday. These riots were renewed at Tournay and at Lille on Thursday, but tranquillity was restored on Friday. The Panama steamer has been ordered to proceed to Marseilles and placed at the disposal of Queen CHRISTINA. CHRISTINA goes to Naples, where she will remain ten days. It is intended that she shall on her voyage back to France remain a few days at Leghorn with her sister, the Grand Duchess of Tuscany. Algiers papers of the 10th have been received.

During the evening the children entered the room, and the modest and ingenuous manner and appearance of b o th sexes elicited the wannest comm en d • hops of the com pany. Their healthy and intelligent looks they fortunately share in common with the inmates of many of our well-con ducted public institutions; b u t it was still more gratifying to observe that every youthful face bore the traces of those gentler affections which arc only cherished in the kindly nurture of lit.lipy homes. Several ladies who visit the asy lum, and take a benevolent interest in the health and im provement of the children, were present. A portion of the band of the Coldstream Guards were stationed in the gallery, and the musical arrange' Messrs. Hobbs, lieneh,-aandellts, which included Miss Betts, ,ockey, materially added to the enjoyment of the evening.scale The dinner and wines were On of excellence, and fully upheld the character of Messrs. Bathe - and Breach' s establishment. We are glad to notice that the funds of this institution (the bene fits of which are exclusively confined to the children of those who have seen better days) are in a satisfactory. and pros perous condition.
